Chapter 257 The Silver Dragon King's Plans.
Wang Xiaofei left the Elemental Academy alone and arrived in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Since the Star Dou Great Forest was isolated, it seemed to have entered an unprecedented period of development, now appearing as a paradise for soul beasts.
Once inside the isolation wall, it was like entering a primeval forest, teeming with all sorts of soul beasts, especially low-level ones, which seemed to be growing explosively.
Now, in the outer areas of the Star Dou Great Forest, the number of soul beasts had increased significantly. Ten-year and hundred-year soul beasts were almost everywhere, and thousand-year soul beasts were not uncommon.
Many people thought that with the rapid increase in the number of soul masters, soul beasts would face extinction. This was completely wrong. As long as soul masters didn't indiscriminately kill soul beasts, their growth would exceed everyone's imagination.
Take the simplest example, the Soft Bone Rabbit. The Soft Bone Rabbit was a very common soul beast in the forest, even becoming an invasive species in many places, mainly because of its extremely strong survival ability and even stronger reproductive capacity. A mature female Soft Bone Rabbit could give birth to several litters a year, and each litter would have many offspring.
Moreover, the Soft-Boned Rabbit has very simple dietary requirements; any weeds that grow throughout the forest will suffice, even ordinary Blue Silver Grass can sustain their growth.
In the forest, there are many similar spirit beasts, such as spiders, snakes, foxes, and wild boars, which typically reproduce in litters, ranging from a few to over ten individuals per litter.
Insect spirit beasts are even more remarkable, like the Thousand-Pound Ants, whose growth rate seems even faster, producing large colonies in just a few years.
Plant spirit beasts grow even faster; without the wanton destruction of human spirit masters, it seems there are all sorts of plant spirit beasts everywhere, even Blue Silver Grass can produce many spirit beasts.
Seeing the rapid growth of spirit beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, Wang Xiaofei showed a hint of relief; at least in the short term, he didn't have to worry about the extinction of spirit beasts.
Wang Xiaofei quickly arrived at the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest. Inside, the large soul beasts seemed to be growing incredibly fast. Many of the high-level soul beasts that Wang Xiaofei and his group had previously killed were now having their territories taken over by other soul beasts, and these new ones seemed extremely powerful.
When Wang Xiaofei arrived at the Lake of Life, Da Ming and Er Ming were playing happily. Since the soul beast world was separated from humans, these two soul beasts had relaxed considerably and practically considered the Lake of Life their home.
Wang Xiaofei ignored the other soul beasts and went directly to the inner circle of the Lake of Life, where the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts resided.
Upon seeing Wang Xiaofei, the ferocious beasts immediately bowed, saying, "Greetings, Lord Phoenix God."
Wang Xiaofei casually nodded and then spoke to Di Tian, "Di Tian, take me to see the Silver Dragon King. I have something to discuss with him."
Before Di Tian could speak, a voice echoed from the void, "Di Tian, please summon the Phoenix God to my place."
Di Tian quickly bowed to the void, "Yes, sir."
Led by Di Tian, Wang Xiaofei arrived in a void, while Di Tian remained outside.
The silver dragon in the void shimmered with starlight, revealing a very beautiful young woman—the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.
Wang Xiaofei waved his hand, and a table and two chairs appeared. Tea was already brewed on the table. "Senior Silver Dragon King, please sit."
The Silver Dragon King sat down but didn't drink the tea. Instead, she spoke directly, "Phoenix God, it's been over ten years since we last met. What brings you here?"
"Senior Silver Dragon King, I mainly want to borrow something from you."
"What is it?"
"The Golden Ancient Tree!"
Upon hearing Wang Xiaofei's words, the Silver Dragon King's expression instantly changed: "How do you know about the Golden Ancient Tree?"
Wang Xiaofei remained calm: "How I know is my personal secret. I've come here mainly to borrow the Golden Ancient Tree."
The Silver Dragon King didn't directly answer Wang Xiaofei's question, but instead changed the subject: "I heard that three gods from the God Realm recently came to Douluo Star, only to be expelled by you, and it seems to have caused quite a stir."
Wang Xiaofei smiled slightly: "The three gods who came to Douluo Star were the Asura God Tang San, along with his father Tang Hao and mother, the Blue Silver Emperor A Yin. Tang San was unruly, actually entering my Douluo Federation to steal, so I caught him. I was originally planning to put him on trial, but the four God Kings intervened, and in the end, I released him, only expelling him."
A strange look appeared on the Silver Dragon King's face: "Four God Kings asked you to release him, and you're just giving them face like that?"
"They are, after all, four God Kings. They've already spoken; I can't refuse them even this much face."
"Tang San is the God of Asura, isn't he also a God King?"
Wang Xiaofei sneered. "Tang San? He's only level 120. Let him put on his God King airs when he reaches level 150."
"Phoenix God, I didn't expect you to have grown to this level in just a dozen or twenty years. It's a pity you offended the God of Asura this time. Your days in the God Realm won't be easy." Wang Xiaofei seemed indifferent: "We'll deal with the future later. Anyway, there's plenty of time. Why worry so much?"
Hearing Wang Xiaofei say this, the two fell silent for a while.
After a while, the Silver Dragon King continued, "Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin is a member of my soul beast clan. Isn't it inappropriate to just expel her like that?"
"Silver Dragon King, I don't care whether Blue Silver Emperor is human or a soul beast. I advise you not to overthink it. On my Douluo Star, everything must conform to my rules."
"Phoenix God, what do you mean by that?"
"Silver Dragon King, there are some things I don't want to explain too clearly. Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin and Soft Bone Rabbit Xiao Wu, although their true forms are soul beasts, do they still consider themselves part of the soul beast clan? Since becoming gods, have they ever thought of doing anything for soul beasts?"
"I know your plan. Theoretically speaking, the Asura God Tang San has half soul beast blood. Do you think that Tang San, Ah Yin, or Xiao Wu will help you take revenge in the future?"
"I think you're overthinking it. None of those three have ever considered themselves part of the Soul Beast race. If you're placing the hopes of the Soul Beast race on these three, I advise you to give up that idea as soon as possible."
The Silver Dragon King seemed to hesitate for a moment before speaking. "No matter what, they are all of my Soul Beast race's bloodline. I don't want you to target them too much."
"Silver Dragon King, are you kidding me? Am I targeting them? I'll say it again: on Douluo Star, I'm in charge. Whether it's Tang San, you, or even the Four God Kings of the God Realm, they'd better not provoke me."
