Over the past week, Ling Yun, in the form of the Three-Tailed Phantom Tiger, had been traveling with Xiao Wu and her siblings, persuading various powerful Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
During this time, Ling Yun truly realized just how powerful the Soul Beast faction was.
Besides not encountering any Soul Beasts over 100,000 years old, he had met others like the Thousand-Jins Ant Emperor Brothers, the Underground Spider King, and the Twin Dragon Azure Demon Scorpion, all around the 90,000-year level.
Then there were the Gale Flying Dragon, the Golden Flame God Eagle, the Underground Spider King, the Ice Crystal Dragonscale Beast, and nearly a hundred other formidable Soul Beasts, all around the 80,000-year level.
Anyway, Ling Yun had seen, and not seen, everything from his past life in the original novel.
During the week of persuasion, Ling Yun had mostly run into dead ends.
Even with the help of Da Ming and Er Ming.
These powerful Soul Beasts, all in the sixty to ninety thousand year range, were incredibly arrogant.
They weren't exactly eager to join the Beast Alliance that Ling Yun had founded.
Take the Thousand-Jins Ant Emperor Brothers, for example. As soon as Ling Yun invited them to join the Beast Alliance, he tried to reason with them and appeal to their emotions.
But those three simpletons thought Ling Yun was there to challenge them, and they charged forward, ready to give Ling Yun a beating.
However, they were thoroughly trounced by Da Ming and Er Ming. Even after that, those guys still didn't give Ling Yun any face, and they ran away.
Then there was the Underground Spider King. Ling Yun hadn't even spoken when he arrived at its lair.
The Spider King took him for lunch, wrapping him up in spider silk.
Fortunately, Ling Yun had the Water Transformation ability, allowing him to repeatedly turn into a liquid and flow back to the ground.
The Underground Spider King finally abandoned them and returned to its nest, no matter what they tried.
Ling Yun was quite helpless about this.
He had originally thought that his tried-and-true method of persuasion,
could make these ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts become his allies against the Spirit Hall.
But the truth proved that the heavens were fair; although he was ugly, he had big dreams.
However, it was fortunate that his week of effort hadn't been completely in vain.
For example, many Soul Beasts below the ten-thousand-year level, upon learning that Ling Yun wanted to establish the Beast Alliance, came to the core area to pledge their allegiance.
Of course, this wasn't Ling Yun's doing, but because Da Ming and Er Ming, the two brothers, had extremely high prestige throughout the Star Dou Great Forest.
Ling Yun had come from afar to seek the protection of these two overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Besides a large number of low-level Soul Beasts with less than ten thousand years of cultivation, a dozen Soul Beasts with one to four thousand years of cultivation had also joined the Beast Alliance.
Although the strength of these Soul Beasts was weak, even to the point of being pathetic.
However, Ling Yun thought these gregarious Soul Beasts could still be useful.
For instance, recently, Xiao Wu had learned from her kind that humans had entered the Star Dou Great Forest.
Ling Yun felt that accepting these gregarious, low-level Soul Beasts could allow them to act as an extension of his vision.
Generally speaking, these gregarious Soul Beasts were not particularly outstanding in terms of ability.
Besides low-level Soul Masters having the idea of killing them,
the powerful Soul Masters from Spirit Hall shouldn't be interested in them.
Therefore, using them as outer scouts is a good choice.
He agreed to incorporate them into the Beast Alliance and have them monitor the perimeter for any humans entering.
If anything suspicious happened, they were to immediately report to the core area.
Night.
Just having hit a wall with the eighty-four-thousand-year-old Purple-Eyed Cloud Winged Tiger, Ling Yun returned to the lake.
Ling Yun was frustrated, drawing circles on the ground.
He felt puzzled. The proposal to establish the Beast Alliance was clearly a good one.
It would allow Soul Beasts to watch out for each other, which could effectively prevent them from being defeated one by one by human powerhouses.
But these Soul Beasts, who were so proud of their strength, were really unappreciative.
Did they really have to wait until the last moment, when they were killed by humans, before they regretted it?
If Ling Yun remembered correctly, in the second and third parts of the original story, technology became increasingly advanced.
The Soul Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest were hunted in large numbers, causing the entire Star Dou Great Forest to shrink drastically.
In the end, only a few great凶兽 barely managed to survive, while the rest of the Soul Beasts were completely extinct.
No, absolutely not!
No matter what, Ling Yun felt he couldn't stand by and watch.
Ling Yun's teeth gnashed together, and Da Ming returned to the lake at this moment, its eyes as big as windmills, staring at Ling Yun.
"Brother Tiger, you should give up for now. We can't integrate the Star Dou Great Forest with our current foundation."
Da Ming paused, hesitating for a moment before continuing.
"Actually, there was once a powerful Soul Beast that also wanted to unite the powerful Soul Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
And with its formidable strength, it really could have done it.
But then it disappeared, and no Soul Beast in the entire Star Dou Great Forest has been able to do it since."
Ling Yun knew that the powerful Soul Beast Da Ming was talking about was none other than Beast God Di Tian from the second book.
With Di Tian's formidable strength and the divine skill, the Dragon God Claw, he could easily crush all the Soul Beasts in the entire Star Dou Great Forest.
With such power, integrating the Star Dou Great Forest would have been an effortless task for him.
Even if he were to emerge, the three 99th-ranked Title Douluo of this era would undoubtedly be suppressed.
Under his protection, at this stage, no one would dare to enter the Star Dou Great Forest...
It's just a pity that Di Tian is currently in a deep slumber.
Otherwise, Ling Yun wouldn't have to worry about retaliation from the Spirit Hall.
"Alright, Brother, don't fret. Humans have a saying: 'Face the enemy with the troops, and the flood with earth.' Surely, we're not afraid of the Spirit Hall?
If worst comes to worst, the four of us can leave the Star Dou Great Forest and flee elsewhere. I refuse to believe the Spirit Hall would chase us to the ends of the earth."
Xiao Wu also understood that Ling Yun wanted to better protect the Soul Beasts from the threats posed by the Spirit Hall, which is why he came up with the idea of establishing the Beast Alliance.
However, most Soul Beasts were used to being wild and free, and craved freedom. They wouldn't want to join the Beast Alliance and be restricted by others.
It was only natural that Ling Yun ran into obstacles.
Previously, Ling Yun had viewed the benefits of establishing the Beast Alliance from a human perspective.
He had completely underestimated the Soul Beasts' yearning for freedom.
However, Ling Yun pondered for a long time.
Having understood the cause and effect, he also realized the reason for his failure.
He understood that the matter of establishing the Beast Alliance couldn't be rushed, but he was still very agitated.
"Dong... Dong... Dong..."
At that moment, a sacred and majestic bell sounded from the sky.
Ling Yun, Xiao Wu, and the Da Ming brothers instinctively looked up at the sky.
They saw three scrolls hanging in the sky, now open.
The Golden Rankings of Combat Power suddenly shone brightly.
On the Golden Rankings, Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo were actually slowly disappearing.
They were replaced by the humans or Soul Beasts who were originally ranked below them.
At the same time, after the Golden Rankings advanced, removing four people from the list,
the remaining people took over their original rankings.
Finally, there was the Potential Rankings, where a total of seven people vanished from the list.
The changes on the Golden Rankings gave everyone on Douluo Star an uneasy feeling.
The Golden Rankings, with only six hundred slots, actually listed just over five hundred people.
Within half a month, thirteen had perished. The number of deaths accounted for around 2-3% of the total, and even Title Douluo weren't spared.
Was the Golden Rankings a death warrant in the hands of the King of Hell???
