Beast's Heart is in Turmoil. As the saying goes, a short pain is better than a long one.
Bi Ji was under immense psychological and physical pressure. She steeled herself, embracing the auspicious beast, and swiftly pressed its third eye directly against Dongfang Jing's forehead.
"No, no!" the auspicious beast weakly protested.
Although it had already gathered soul power within its body, preparing to commit suicide, and even thought of saying a few threatening words to make Bi Ji stop, it hadn't expected her to be so decisive.
Now it was too late to say anything.
"Auspicious Beast, I'm sorry, please forgive me."
Bi Ji knew that the auspicious energy was related to the rise and fall of the entire Star Dou Great Forest.
But from the day she accepted Dongfang Jing as her disciple, she had been gambling.
She chose to believe in this human boy, to believe in her disciple!
But Bi Ji didn't know what attribute guidance meant for the auspicious beast itself; this was a secret only the auspicious beast knew.
The moment Dongfang Jing's forehead touched the three-eyed golden lion's vertical eye, their bodies trembled violently simultaneously.
Strange halos enveloped them, and the entire Star Dou Great Forest seemed to stir, a rich life force surging towards them.
Gradually, the struggling Three-Eyed Golden Lion calmed down, its eyes regaining their luster.
It saw:towering, bustling buildings, a constant flow of people, strange objects flashing red, yellow, and green, and countless enormous four-wheeled vehicles speeding by.
The auspicious beast was shocked; this was a sight it had never seen before.
It murmured, "I never imagined the human world would be like this..." Before it could finish speaking,suddenly!
The scene before its eyes vanished instantly, as if it had only seen an illusion.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked around, as if wanting to see more.
Then, it saw a pair of eyes shimmering with golden light.
Her eyelashes were long, like a woman's eyes.
Those golden eyes suddenly narrowed! An unparalleled sense of oppression and separation spread throughout the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's body, reaching its very soul!
At the same time, the aura surrounding them and the life force of the forest vanished completely! Leaving not a trace!
A powerful repulsive force erupted between the two, forcibly separating their pressed foreheads.
Biji was completely unable to resist, forced to retreat repeatedly, nearly falling.
Her eyes were filled with surprise and doubt: "What happened? Did the guidance fail?"
Looking at Dongfang Jing's location, Biji's pupils contracted slightly.
She saw the young man with flowing silver hair, ethereal and otherworldly.
His face was cold and stern, a fleeting glint of indifferent gold flashing in his eyes before returning to purple.
His body swayed a few times, lost consciousness, and fell straight backward.
"Disciple!" Biji rushed forward to support Dongfang Jing.
Finding that he was only unconscious, she breathed a sigh of relief.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, having recovered from its daze, roared and broke free from Bi Ji's grasp.
It landed on the ground, breathing heavily on Bi Ji: "Bi Ji! Do you know what your actions just now mean?!"
Indeed, Bi Ji wanted to transfer the auspicious beast's fortune to Dongfang Jing, a human!
This was a betrayal, a betrayal of the soul beast race!
"I know," Bi Ji said, cradling the unconscious Dongfang Jing against a tree. "Auspicious beast, if you had overheard my conversation with Di Tian, you should know something about this child, and...his special nature!"
Hearing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion glanced at Dongfang Jing, its heart filled with complex emotions.
It was still wondering why its destiny's guidance had been interrupted.
Could it really be interrupted? It didn't even know!
Those golden eyes had terrified it! It truly felt that with just one look, it would be annihilated!
But the Three-Eyed Golden Lion couldn't swallow its anger, so it uttered a harsh threat to Bi Ji:
"You wait, I will definitely tell Di Tian about this!"
With that,the Three-Eyed Golden Lion transformed into a golden streak of light and disappeared into the depths of the forest.
Once it was far enough away from the Emerald Swan clan, its pace slowed.
Its mind replayed the scenes from just moments ago.
Logically, after making contact with that human's forehead, their fates should have become intertwined.
The auspicious energy and power of destiny it carried should have been transferred to the human through spiritual resonance.
This process should have caused its life force and primal power to permanently dissipate, its aura to become chaotic, and it might even have fallen into a coma.
But the Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked at its body; it was completely unaffected.
The auspicious energy remained, and it was still the revered Imperial Beast, respected by all soul beasts.
It glanced back.
Although it had only seen one frame, it still clearly remembered the bustling scene of skyscrapers, unable to forget it for a long time.
'Was that the human world? Was it that human's memory?'
Returning to the bottom of the Lake of Life, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion hung its head, appearing somewhat dejected.
"Auspicious Beast, where did you go just now?" Di Tian's voice transmission echoed in its mind.
"Nowhere," it replied indifferently.
Now, it just wanted to be alone.
Di Tian continued, "You carry the fortune of all the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest. We cannot personally protect you while we are asleep, so you must not stray too far from us!"
"I know!" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion replied impatiently, running to a corner and curling up.
Di Tian was full of doubts.
He could clearly sense that the auspicious beast was in a bad mood, but he didn't know why.
Di Tian separated a wisp of spiritual power to scan the surroundings, but found that Bi Ji was not at the bottom of the lake.
"Auspicious Beast, do you know where Bi Ji is?"
"In her clan." The Three-Eyed Golden Lion hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not mention the matter of the guidance.
At this moment, its mind was in turmoil. Whenever it calmed down, it would think of that silver-haired human.
'Even though the guidance failed, why do I keep thinking of him?' It scratched the mud and sand at the bottom of the lake in frustration.
'In the clan again?' Upon hearing this, Di
Tian was somewhat displeased.
Had he gone to look after that human disciple again?
Was that human really that good? So much so that he couldn't even care for the auspicious beasts and ferocious beasts?
Bi Ji would come to the bottom of the lake every week to check on the condition of the ferocious beasts, but most of the time she would chatter on and on about Dongfang Jing to Di Tian.
For example, what delicious food he had made that day, or which guardian spirit beast he had become close with yesterday.
Every time she talked about these things, Bi Ji's face was filled with smiles. Di Tian's ears were practically calloused from hearing it, but his attitude remained lukewarm.
So much time had passed, and that human had actually stayed obediently in this forest where spirit beasts gathered? And Bi Ji liked him so much?
Because of Bi Ji's tireless narration, Di Tian also developed a sliver of expectation for Dongfang Jing.
Although it was only a tiny bit.
But he wouldn't interrupt his slumber for a human.
He decided to observe and see.
If that human could truly achieve godhood as Bi Ji said, bringing a turning point to the spirit beast race, then it wouldn't matter; let Bi Ji guide him as he grew.
In any case, these ferocious beasts will remain slumbering for another seven, eight, or nine thousand, perhaps even ten thousand years, before they awaken.
If that human named Dongfang Jing doesn't become a god, he'll probably be reduced to ashes long ago in ten thousand years!
