----------------------
After returning to the hidden depths of the Lake of Life, other figures appeared with expressions of confusion.
Xiong Jun's eyes were filled with disdain: "Di Tian, you're regressing. I can't believe you've placed your hopes on a mere brat, and a hybrid of humans and soul beasts at that. Scum like him—I could kill ten or eight of them without breaking a sweat."
Di Tian replied: "Xiong Jun, are you itching for a fight again? Everything I do is for the soul beast race. Though Tang San's strength is still relatively weak, he does possess potential. Moreover, he's extremely close to inheriting the Rakshasa God's legacy."
"All I'm doing is offering him protection—a simple act for me, but one that will mean life or death for Tang San. Perhaps this will plant a seed in the God Realm. Why not?"
Xiong Jun sneered: "You always have your excuses. To me, Tang San is just a brat, an ungrateful wolf in sheep's clothing. Though he carries the bloodline of our soul beast race, he's ultimately human. Humans are notorious for their duplicity and betrayal. Aren't you afraid he'll bite you back when the time comes?"
A hint of anger crept into Di Tian's voice: "Xiong Jun, you're overstepping. This isn't my decision alone; Master has given his instructions as well."
The other figures, who had initially been puzzled, fell silent upon hearing Di Tian's words.
Without further ado, Di Tian walked toward a specific direction. Suddenly, a mysterious black door appeared, seemingly leading to another world.
After Di Tian crossed through the black door, it vanished. In the otherworldly realm, a massive silver dragon emerged.
Di Tian gave a slight bow to the silver dragon: "Master, everything has been arranged. Tang San will temporarily cultivate at the Lake of Life."
The Silver Dragon King opened its enormous dragon eyes, which shimmered with radiant light, as if gazing into infinite voids or the future of this world.
"Di Tian, this world has changed. The entire timeline seems to have fallen into chaos. Even I can no longer see the future of this world."
Di Tian quickly interjected: "Master, how can this be? You're a God King-level powerhouse, far surpassing the existence of the Douluo world. How could you fail to foresee the future of this small world?"
The Silver Dragon King spoke: "This world's fortune has long shifted. The originally destined outcome seems to have deviated. Particularly, the fortune of this world has changed."
"Tang San remains a child of destiny, but his fortune has diminished far more than I anticipated. Compared to when he was first born, his fortune has drastically decreased."
Di Tian swallowed hard: "Master, can fortune really change to this extent?"
The Silver Dragon King nodded: "The future is unpredictable. Even the smallest event can influence the entire future and affect the fortune of this world."
"Only those with extraordinary fortune can break through Level 100 and ascend to godhood. Originally, this world was meant to be a three-way power struggle, but alas, everything has changed."
"Tang San still retains some fortune. Qian Renxue has already ascended to godhood, and several others still possess the potential to become gods. However, the fortune of one originally destined individual has completely vanished. It's unlikely they'll achieve godhood. That's why we must act early."
After careful thought, Di Tian finally spoke: "Master, what about the inheritor of the Asura God I encountered last time? Does he also possess the potential to become a god?"
The Silver Dragon King shook his head: "I'm not certain. After I observed him last time, he indeed possessed the potential to ascend, even nearing the level of a deity."
"But recently, I've lost sight of his future. His destiny seems shrouded in chaos, beyond my comprehension."
A look of astonishment appeared in Di Tian's eyes: "Master, how is this possible? Is there truly someone in this world who can surpass your predictions? You were once a God King-level existence!"
The Silver Dragon King remained silent for a long while before speaking: "Not long ago, I sensed a new force over the ocean. This force seems to surpass both the Douluo world and the Douluo God Realm. Only I, in my complete form, could match it."
Di Tian's expression changed drastically. He knew that when the Silver Dragon King was whole, he was the Dragon God, the strongest being in the God Realm and even its creator. Yang Xiong had ventured to the ocean recently—could this new force truly be connected to him?
"Master, should I approach Yang Xiong again? If we gain his help, perhaps our soul beast race can turn the tide and restore its former glory."
The Silver Dragon King shook his head: "It's too late now. Yang Xiong's current strength is no weaker than yours. Moreover, he wields the Asura Demon Sword. No one on Douluo Star can oppose him now—not even the newly ascended Angel God may be a match for him."
Di Tian was shocked once more: "How is this possible? There's an insurmountable gap between gods and mortals. Even with the super divine artifact, the Asura Demon Sword, how can Yang Xiong, with his mortal body, stand against gods?"
The Silver Dragon King explained: "Perhaps I was wrong. Human potential is limitless. Yang Xiong's martial soul is his body itself—his martial soul is him. After repeatedly breaking his limits, his body and soul have drawn infinitely close to godhood. Even without the inheritance of the Asura God, achieving godhood is only a matter of time for him."
"And don't forget, he possesses two dragon bones from the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings. These bones hold boundless potential. Though restricted by this world, they are treasures surpassing a million years' worth."
"Add to that the million-year soul beast that appeared in the ocean—the Deep Sea Demon Whale King you mentioned. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King broke through the million-year barrier, likely with Yang Xiong's help. Judging by the current situation, Yang Xiong has likely obtained the final trunk soul bone and a million-year soul ring—both unprecedented achievements."
"Given Yang Xiong's current body, every part of him is reinforced with hundred-thousand-year soul bones, plus three million-year soul bones. Such a physique is incomparable to any ordinary soul master."
After much deliberation, Di Tian finally spoke: "Master, if I had cooperated with Yang Xiong earlier and handed over that Ice Silkworm, could I have altered the fate of this world?"
The Silver Dragon King shook his head: "Yang Xiong is a man of extreme determination, stopping at nothing to grow stronger. I don't know how he learned of our soul beast race's situation, or even that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was in your possession."
"But given his personality, if the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm truly held value for him, he would have stopped at nothing to obtain it. Yet he didn't, clearly showing he doesn't place much importance on it."
Di Tian's expression shifted slightly: "But the enhancement a million-year soul beast offers is limitless. If Yang Xiong had obtained the soul ring of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, couldn't he have gained a new martial soul? His aptitude would have skyrocketed."
The Silver Dragon King replied: "Perhaps this is where Yang Xiong surpasses others. Even with twin martial souls, there's always some degree of repulsion between them. Using his body as a martial soul isn't entirely pure."
"In Yang Xiong's eyes, his sole aim is to strengthen his body. This might be the root of his repeated breakthroughs. Acquiring a second martial soul would disrupt the purity of his body."
"Moreover, I can sense that Yang Xiong's body has undergone earth-shattering changes. Not only does he possess a new force, but he also wields the power of this world's rules—far beyond my imagination."
Di Tian was shocked again: "How is this possible? How can he possess the rule power of the Douluo world? If he truly wields rule power, then the Douluo world holds no restrictions for him. He could ignore the oppressive rules of this world and ascend to godhood without needing a god position."
The Silver Dragon King nodded: "Indeed. Yang Xiong is far more powerful than anyone imagines. In this Douluo world, he might already be invincible. Even if the gods of the God Realm descended, they might not be able to harm him."
"Master, if that's the case, why are we protecting Tang San? Shouldn't we seek Yang Xiong's cooperation directly? Perhaps he could help us break free from the God Realm's restrictions." Di Tian's face revealed a trace of confusion once more.
In truth, Di Tian was considering another issue. If Yang Xiong truly mastered the rules of this world, couldn't he help others transcend Level 100 and ascend to godhood without needing a god position? This way, they wouldn't be suppressed by the Douluo rules.
The Silver Dragon King chuckled: "Yang Xiong is an extremely cautious person. Do you think he'd risk himself for our soul beast race? It's only because Tang San is in dire straits and needs our protection that he's willing to cooperate with us."
"Besides, Yang Xiong already possesses all his soul rings and soul bones. Our soul beast race holds no further value for him. Instead of forcing cooperation, it's better to wait for the changes in heaven and earth."
"Moreover, given the current situation, perhaps I should go out and take a look myself."
…
Outside Jialing Pass, Qian Renxue now appeared triumphant. She had killed Emperor Xue Ye, the supreme ruler of the Tian Dou Empire, and her nemesis Tang Hao. The remaining Title Douluo were all cowed by her overwhelming strength.
Even defiant figures like Yang Wudi and Sword Douluo were powerless to resist her.
Even Yang Wudi's insolent remarks were, in Qian Renxue's eyes, nothing more than the futile barking of an impotent dog.
However, Qian Renxue did not press her attack further. Instead, she sat solemnly on her newly crafted throne, as if waiting for something.
At this moment, an endless killing intent swept across the sky, and the entire world seemed bathed in bloody red light.
"Yang Xiong, you've finally arrived. It wasn't in vain to wait for you all this time!"
