After hearing this, Xue Tianxing finally understood Gu Yuena's plan.
Then Xue Tianxing quickly calculated in his mind:
The biggest problem for him when he decided to create his own godhood was the lack of resources and support. Gu Yuena could mobilize the power of all soul beasts, which was undoubtedly a timely help.
As for helping Gu Yuena heal her wounds, there was no loss to herself - it was just consuming some divine power, and it did not mean she would become an enemy of the divine world, nor would it harm the interests of herself and her partners.
After figuring this out, Xue Tianxing smiled and said to Gu Yuena:
"If you can really help me create my own godhood, then after I become a god, it will be no problem for me to heal your injuries.
But I have one condition—while I grow up, spirit beasts cannot actively attack me and my companions, and when I need you, I hope you won't refuse."
Gu Yuena heard this and readily agreed:
"That's no problem. I will send a message to all the soul beast tribes on the Douluo Continent. As long as you don't take the initiative to provoke them, the soul beasts will never attack you.
Furthermore, if you encounter difficulties with other human spirit masters, the spirit beasts can also secretly help you."
After reaching a consensus, the atmosphere around the campfire suddenly became relaxed.
Gu Yuena looked at Xue Tianxing, her eyes full of anticipation:
"I'm looking forward to the day you create your own godhood. With your talent, the Ice God's legacy, and the help of spirit beasts, you might actually be able to embark on an unprecedented path to godhood."
Xue Tianxing also nodded, his heart full of confidence in the future.
With the Ice God's "Safety Amulet" and the help of Gu Yuena and the soul beast, his path to becoming a god will undoubtedly be much smoother than he imagined.
Just then, there was a slight movement in the tent; obviously, the unconscious companions were about to wake up.
Seeing this, Gu Yuena said to Xue Tianxing:
"I should be leaving now. If you encounter any troubles you can't solve in the future, you can contact me through the soul beast. Remember our agreement. When you become a god, don't forget to help me heal my wounds."
After saying that, Gu Yuena handed Xue Tianxing a silver dragon scale, and then her figure gradually dissipated into the night like smoke, leaving Xue Tianxing standing by the campfire, his heart full of longing for the future.
Xue Tianxing carefully put the dragon scale left by Gu Yuena into the storage soul guide - the dragon scale was silver-white all over, with a faint halo on the surface. It was cold to the touch, and one could vaguely feel the weak dragon power contained in it.
Xue Tianxing knew very well that this dragon scale was not only a token of contact with Gu Yuena, but also a "pass" - if he encountered a high-level soul beast with intelligence in the future, as long as he showed this dragon scale, he would be able to avoid conflict with a high probability, and even get the help of the soul beast.
With this thing, you will undoubtedly have an extra layer of protection when traveling in the Douluo Continent in the future.
After collecting the dragon scales, Xue Tianxing returned to his tent, lay on his bedding, and closed his eyes.
Xue Tianxing chose to pretend to fall asleep.
At this time, Xue Tianxing was sorting out everything that had happened tonight in his mind - from the mysterious attack to the appearance of the Silver Dragon King, to learning the secrets of the God Realm and reaching cooperation. Every incident subverted his understanding of the Douluo Continent and made his future path clearer.
Not long after, light footsteps were heard outside the tent.
Xue Tianxing knew that the two Soul Saints had awakened.
Sure enough, the next second, the tent curtain was gently lifted, and the two Soul Saints poked their heads in. Seeing Xue Tianxing lying safely on the bedding, their tense bodies relaxed.
They looked at each other, their eyes full of relief - if Xue Tianxing had an accident, even if they had ten lives, they would not be able to explain to Xuezhe.
The two of them tiptoed to Xue Tianxing's side and called out tentatively:
"Your Highness, are you awake?"
Xue Tianxing pretended to have just been woken up, slowly opened his eyes, rubbed his temples, and said with a confused tone:
"What's wrong? What happened? I remember everyone was getting ready to rest, and then I suddenly fell asleep..."
Almost at the same time when Xue Tianxing "woke up", there were noises coming from other tents. Shui Bing'er, Dugu Yan, and others came out one after another, each with confusion and fear on their faces.
"Tianxing, what on earth is going on?"
Shui Bing'er spoke first, frowning, and then continued:
"I heard the guard senior fall to the ground and was about to go over to check when I suddenly lost consciousness. I woke up now."
Shuiyueer also nodded, with a bit of fear in her tone:
"Me too! I feel like I've been drugged. I don't have the strength to resist at all."
Cao Qing, Oscar, and Ning Rongrong also echoed this. Everyone was worried that they had been hit by some strange soul skill and whether it would leave any sequelae.
Xue Tianxing pretended to be as confused as they were and shook his head:
"I don't know, I just got back to the tent and I felt dizzy and then I didn't know anything.
Please check your bodies to see if you feel any discomfort."
Everyone quickly used their soul power to check the body and found that apart from being a little lethargic, there was nothing else unusual, so they felt a little relieved.
At this time, the Earth-Splitting Giant Bear Soul Saint stepped forward and said in a serious tone:
"Your Highness, we must leave here as soon as possible!
The Starry Forest is dangerous at night, but the existence that can make two of us Soul Saints unconscious at the same time without any sound is a hundred times more dangerous than the soul beasts in the forest!
We were lucky this time and no one was hurt, but if we had stayed any longer, no one knows what would have happened."
Another Wind Chasing Wolf Soul Saint also nodded in agreement:
"That's right, they were able to knock us down easily without hurting anyone. They either didn't bother to do it, or they had other motives.
But no matter what the situation is, it's too risky to stay here any longer. We should leave the Star Dou Great Forest as soon as possible and return to Barak City for safety."
Xue Tianxing knew in his heart that the two Soul Saints' concerns were not unreasonable, and he could not tell everyone the truth - he could not say, "You were knocked unconscious by the Silver Dragon King, and she just came to discuss cooperation with me."
Not only will people not believe this, but it will probably cause even greater panic.
So, he followed the words of the two Soul Saints and said:
"You're right, this place is indeed unsafe. Let's pack up and leave tonight."
Everyone agreed and quickly packed up their tents and luggage. Under the escort of the two Soul Saints, they headed towards the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
In order to prevent accidents, the two Soul Saints released Soul Saint-level soul power throughout the entire process. The rich soul power fluctuations were like an invisible barrier, covering Xue Tianxing and his group.
The lower-age soul beasts in the forest sensed this powerful aura and hid in their nests, not daring to make even the slightest sound.
Even some advanced soul beasts only observed from afar without making any unusual movements - the deterrent power of the Soul Saint should not be underestimated in the Star Dou Great Forest.
