"There's one more thing you haven't noticed."
Zhuge Lan continued to tease—
"Beyond a hundred kilometers from the Sunset Forest is the capital of one of the two human empires, the Tiandou Empire, Tiandou City."
"Imagine if Xueye Dadi of the Tiandou Empire heard that a 100,000-year-old soul beast is nearby that's particularly good at digging—wouldn't he lose sleep?"
"And a 100,000-year-old soul beast, with its soul rings and soul bones, will attract countless soul masters."
"When the time comes, what awaits you will be endless pursuit."
"Until death, it will not stop."
The Ice Dragon Armored Beast remained silent.
Previously, it had been so busy avenging old grudges that it never thought about these matters.
Now, thinking back…Fear!Confusion!Helplessness!
This… what should I do?
"I can go to the Star Dou Great Forest!"
The Ice Dragon Armored Beast said stubbornly—
"Dig all the way through underground, tens of thousands of meters deep, how could humans possibly find us?"
Zhuge Lan chuckled, pulling out a Level 7 Spirit Conduction Radar.
"This is called a Spirit Conduction Radar, the most conventional soul-detecting device."
"It can map underground terrain using soul power fluctuations."
"It is especially sensitive to life forms."
Zhuge Lan activated the radar, easily forming a nearby map.
Whoa!Tens of thousands of meters underground, there's such a complex network of tunnels?
Looks like the Ice Dragon Armored Beast dug these itself.
Perfect.
Let it inspect them itself.
[Emotion Points +151515]
How could it not recognize the paths near its own home?
It stared at the radar, eyes full of terror!
—Never thought before… how come humans never discovered its traces?
Because…Level 7 Spirit Conduction Radars simply do not exist in Douluo Continent!
Zhuge Lan continued gently persuading—
"The Sunset Forest lies in the human heartland, far from the Star Dou Great Forest."
"With detection devices, even if you are 100,000 meters underground, they could easily find you."
"And we also have digging spirit conduction devices."
Zhuge Lan exchanged for a Level 7 Drilling Spirit Device, activated it, and effortlessly dug a kilometer-deep pit.
The Ice Dragon Armored Beast's eyes twitched.
—This digging speed almost catches up to me!
[Emotion Points +151515]
Damn it!
It seemed there was truly no way to escape?!
Its gaze darted, considering running first.
No!
Suddenly its eyes sharpened, fixed on Zhuge Lan.
As long as it killed these humans…
If the secret doesn't leak, then problem solved?
"You're thinking dangerously now," Zhuge Lan said with a smile. "To prevent mistakes by your ancestors, let me show you something."
Residual divine consciousness from earlier drifted out from Zhuge Lan's brow.
Though the remaining power was not much, the pure divine aura made the Ice Dragon Armored Beast, who had accompanied the Water Dragon King's corpse for years, feel utter despair!
[Emotion Points +195195]
What is this?!
Why would a human have the aura of a god?!
No matter what, it knew this human before it was not someone it could provoke.
—Even without considering whether it could win, if it killed him, death would be certain!
Encirclement by a Title Douluo—it couldn't even hope to dodge.
Divine pursuit?
Might as well wait to die.
[Emotion Points +212121][Emotion Points +151515]
Seeing the Ice Dragon Armored Beast begin to despair, Zhuge Lan knew the time was right.
He revealed his true objective—
"As you see, my family has produced gods, and not just one."
"You are already 100,000 years old, so you should know that soul beasts are not allowed to become gods under normal circumstances, right?"
"But I have a way for you to become a god!"
"How about it? Want to come with me?"
Pausing for a moment, Zhuge Lan added—
"You probably noticed the girl in our group, right?"
"She's the 10,000-year-old soul beast Soft-Boned Charming Rabbit, in human form, yet she's alive and well. This proves I harbor no hostility toward soul beasts."
"Even more—"
"If you come with me, this too can be yours."
Zhuge Lan pointed across the air.
[Remote Transmission: 100,000 Emotion Points per being!][Shapeshifting Technique: 10,000,000 Emotion Points!]
——————————
This allows non-human life forms to assume human bodies and talents, and gradually cultivate into humans.——————————
Expensive, yes.
But having a 100,000-year-old soul beast as a mount? Definitely thrilling!
—Exciting for those envious, casually harvesting emotion points!
Millions of emotion points, eventually recoverable.
As for others trying to snatch it?
Zhuge Lan, with vast reserves, didn't care—bring it on.
With the Ice Dragon Armored Beast already panicking, the Shapeshifting Technique suddenly hit, and it froze completely!
What?!
A soul beast can become human without undergoing a lightning tribulation?
[Emotion Points +190,000]
And its cultivation remains untouched, with human talents?
[Emotion Points +210,000]
And it can bypass rules, no lightning strike every 100,000 years?
[Emotion Points +250,000]
This…Incredible!
Never heard of such a BUG ability.
Must have come from this human's divine ancestor, something obtained in the God Realm!
Strong backing, generous, crisis-resolving, and able to live in human society.
How could the Ice Dragon Armored Beast refuse?
'I am not submitting to humans.'
'I am submitting to the god behind humans.'
'Therefore, this is not betraying the soul beast clan!'
'Yes! Right!'
After self-persuasion, the once-aggressive 100,000-year-old soul beast lowered its head to Zhuge Lan.
Awkwardly, it said, "Master!"
[Emotion Points +290,000]
Zhuge Lan smiled, scratching the Ice Dragon Armored Beast's chin—hard yet warm.
Truly a 100,000-year-old soul beast, casually yielding six-figure emotion points.
"Good."
"From now on, you'll be called Bingbing."
"When you master the Shapeshifting Technique—"
[Warning!][Host about to…]
Suddenly something flashed before Zhuge Lan's eyes, and his vision shifted.
He had moved a kilometer away.
At his previous location, a hundred-meter-wide magma column shot toward the sky, its heat scorching even hundreds of meters away, making Zhuge Lan's mouth dry.
Through the warped air, he saw the system prompt:
[Host about to suffer fatal strike, emergency space teleport activated!][Consumes 200,000 Emotion Points!]
Zhuge Lan: "???"
What is this?
"Ka ka ka—"
The magma column froze into ice, then shattered into countless ice crystals.
Revealing the Ice Dragon Armored Beast, anxiously scanning.
Only when it saw Zhuge Lan did it relax.
Luckily, luckily.
Its master had not called in vain.
—Shapeshifting Technique not yet learned; this human cannot die.
Then came fury!"Yanlong, you're asking for death!"
The little short legs leapt, diving into the ground.
Probably going to trouble that "Yanlong".
Zhuge Lan pondered.
Yanlong?
Should be… the soul beast that absorbed the Fire Dragon King's residual divine power, returning to ancestral bloodline?
"Interesting."
"Sunset Forest even has two 100,000-year-old soul beasts."
"But—"
"Want to kill me?"
"Then die!"
