On the other side,
The Shrek academy was preventing the soul beasts from attacking the human city.
Xuan Lao started fighting the Di Tian but was overpowered by him instead. Meanwhile, the beasts started bypassing the city defense system because of their number advantage and started attacking the Shrek students on the other side.
"Hurry up and initiate the multi-strike mode; don't let them invade the city,"
The Shrek tutors ordered, looking at the students who were controlling the cannons and shooting the soul beasts.
Swish!
At this moment a figure appeared floating in the sky. The Shrek members started looking at him floating in the sky without any rings or martial spirit.
"It's him, brother Xiao Yi,"
One of the students recognized him, and Xuan Lao and others also noticed him and sighed in relief.
"Kid, you are finally here. Hurry up and help me chase off this guy."
Xuan Lao hurriedly commented, looking at him. Xiao Yi glanced at the dark dragon shadow in the cloud and spoke.
"Di Tian, you should stop this beast tide. The three-eyed lion king sacrificed willingly, and now there is another sacred beast selected by heaven instead of her. Haven't you sensed it already?"
Instantly the Di Tian inside the cloud froze, and then he raised his head, noticing the difference in the luck affecting the soul beasts.
"How did it happen? Why couldn't I sense it before?" Di Tian's questioning voice sounded; it was full of doubt and bewilderment.
Xiao Yi glanced at him and then, looking at the other soul beasts below, ordered, "Return to your places."
Instantly a gray pulse wave spread around and engulfed everything. Upon touching the soul beast, all of them disappeared, including the fierce beasts, except for Di Tian floating in the cloud.
Di Tian was startled and started looking at Xiao Yi and solemnly said, "Although the new sacred beast is more powerful than the previous one, the golden lion was my son; it was the last golden dragon bloodline in our dragon race."
Xiao Yi raised his brow and replied, "She fell for someone emotionally and sacrificed herself. We can't do anything about it now. Also, the restrictions on the soul beast have been removed by me. You can now ascend to the divine realm and break through the divine beast level without any heaven tribulation."
After speaking, Xiao Yi ignored Di Tian's surprised expression, and his blurred figure disappeared. The Xuan Lao and others were also surprised, looking at each other.
"Don't think that we are on good terms; now we will watch over every move of you humans."
Di Tian reminded them to look at the Xuan Lao and then turned around and disappeared in the cloud. Xuan Lao and others sighed in relief, and then some of the tutors brows furrowed.
"He said the restrictions on the soul beast have been removed by him," Song Yunzhi elder spoke with a light frown on her brow; others were startled and fell silent.
Xuan Lao glanced at them and spoke, "It means the soul beast rise is imminent. There was almost an eighty percent casualty rate because of tribulation; now these soul beasts will survive and become stronger, and their population will also increase at an alarming rate. We have to prepare for that."
After speaking, he glanced in the direction of the great forest and added, "Inform the Shrek students to not venture into the forest alone."
He flew away; other elders nodded and flew behind him toward the Shrek academy, leaving behind trails of different-colored light.
Meanwhile, inside the core lake of the Star Dou Great Forest,
Xiao Yi glanced at the direction of the huge silver dragon sleeping while curled inside its wide silver wings.
He raised his hand and pointed at her; instantly a gray beam of light flashed from his finger, covering the whole silver dragon body.
The next moment, it was startled and, feeling something, raised its head and glanced in the direction of Xiao Yi.
"Who are you?" A soft female sound spread from the dragon's mouth while she was staring at him.
Xiao Yi glanced at her and replied, "I am Xiao Yi, the ruler of this universe. I have healed you in order to let you represent the soul beast and keep them in balance with the humans. Now you can ascend the divine realm as one of the divine enforcers."
Instantly the silver dragon was startled, and a huge silver beam of light fell from the sky and covered her. At the same time, her body shrank and condensed into her original humanoid form.
A beauty with lengthy silver hair hanging behind her like silk and a colorful silver dress outlining her perfect physique, she opened her purple pupils and glanced at the direction of Xiao Yi in surprise and bewilderment.
Slowly a colorful dot mark materialized on her forehead, and a divine king aura spread around from her body, covering the whole sub-realm.
Xiao Yi waved his hand and contained her suppression inside the realm. Gu Yuena was startled and hurriedly retracted her suppression, and she spoke apologetically.
"I am sorry," Then she glanced at him and added, "Your Excellency, thank you for helping our soul beast clan; we will be indebted to you for eternity. I pledge loyalty to you on behalf of our soul beast clan."
Xiao Yi smiled and then replied intriguingly,
"You are really intelligent. Anyway, you leave this world and stay in the divine realm, and also with your strength, you can now devour the golden dragon easily and reach the supreme king realm."
Gu Yuena nodded after hearing his words, and then a portal appeared beside her. She walked inside it and disappeared.
Xiao Yi glanced at the empty realm, and then his figure blurred and disappeared. On the other hand, he reappeared beside the wooden hut, looking at the snow empress busy with flowers. A smile appeared on his face, and he walked toward her and hugged her in his arms.
"You didn't bring her with you," the Snow Empress asked, raising her brow.
Xiao Yi smiled playfully and replied, whispering in her ear, "I just wanted to heal her and let her maintain the balance between human and soul beasts."
Instantly, Snow Empress was startled and then realized he was playing with her before.
The next moment, her face turned red because of embarrassment, and she bowed her head in his embrace and complained, "Don't make fun of me."
"Ha ha ha, I won't."
Xiao Yi laughed, seeing an always serious person like her reacting in such a cute way, and then he carried her up like a princess and walked toward the wooden hut.
Xue Di's face became more red as she realized what was coming next. The door of the hut was closed, and the trees and plants around started humming in rhythm, creating an ambiguous atmosphere.
