This is a dense forest. The tall trees almost block out the sky, making it difficult for even sunlight to penetrate.
Deep in the forest, there is a quiet little lake. The water is crystal clear, like a piece of azure crystal, reflecting the clouds in the sky.
Beside the small lake, a man stood by the lake.
He was wearing a black robe. He was in his forties, with a handsome and resolute face. A strand of golden hair hung on his cheek. His expression was as still as a stone statue. Only the thoughts surging in his eyes revealed his inner restlessness.
He stared blankly at the lake, like a stone statue, as if thinking about something.
At this time, a woman in an emerald green dress quietly came up behind the man in black and said respectfully, "Di Tian, Lord Bear is back."
After hearing what Biji said, Di Tian finally reacted, "Tell him to bring the person here!"
After a while, Xiong Jun walked in. He spread out his hands and placed Le Qianyao on a stone not far from the Lake of Life.
"Emperor Tian!"
Di Tian nodded and said to Le Qianyao, "Stop pretending. Now that you're here, how long are you going to pretend?"
Le Qianyao then sat up and said quietly, "There's nothing I can do! There are so many terrifying beasts around, I'm afraid you might eat me alive if you're not careful!"
The veins on Di Tian's head twitched and he looked at Le Qianyao calmly.
"Okay, enough kidding. So, what on earth do you want to do with me? My delicate skin and tender flesh are not tasty at all!"
"God Realm, what happened?" Di Tian asked directly to the point.
"Why do you think I know this information?" Le Qianyao raised his eyebrows and asked.
Di Tian glanced at Le Qianyao and said calmly, "Sun God! Le Qianyao, as far as we know, you ascended to the God Realm six thousand years ago! Although I don't know why you descended upon Douluo Continent again, I sensed your presence the day you arrived. Furthermore, your current state is very similar to that of a soul beast that has recultivated into a human, though I don't know what method you used."
"I didn't expect you to find out after all." Le Qianyao waved his hand helplessly, "I can tell you the information, but what can I get in return? You understand what I mean by equal exchange! What do you want in exchange?"
"You don't have to tell me, but I can't guarantee that you can walk out of here alive today!" Di Tian said.
"Can I consider this a threat? First, you may not be able to keep me here." Le Qianyao was not afraid of Didi Tian's gaze at all, and his soul power was pulsing. "Second, even if you keep me here, if I die here, do you think the people from the Temple will raze this place to the ground?"
Di Tian stared at Le Qianyao. Their eyes met, and sparks seemed to fly in the air. After a moment, he said, "We can use rare metals in exchange."
In the Star Dou Great Forest, there are many rare metals. These rare metals are useless to soul beasts, but they are very rare to humans.
"I'm not short of rare metals." Le Qianyao shook his head and said.
"Then what do you want in exchange?" Di Tian asked.
Le Qianyao thought for a moment and said, "Di Tian, perhaps we can cooperate."
"Cooperate?" The veins on Di Tian's forehead twitched again. He suppressed his anger and said, "Le Qianyao, we didn't kill you. This is already the greatest kindness we can offer you."
Don't think that the reason for the decline of soul beasts is something else. If it weren't for the battle armor you developed, which led to the emergence of a large number of high-level strong men in the human race, how could my soul beasts decline so quickly!"
Di Tian looked at Le Qianyao and wished he could tear him to pieces right away.
Le Qianyao smiled and said, "First of all, the decline of soul beasts has nothing to do with me! It's you soul beasts who are complacent. Even if I hadn't created the battle armor, with the development of human soul guidance technology, the battle armor would have appeared with the progress of the times. Tens of thousands of years have passed. Do you dare to say that the lives of you soul beasts have changed at all? On the other hand, we humans have grown from being food for soul beasts to the overlords of the Douluo. Every step has been taken by us humans step by step. How could you soul beasts possibly know the hardships involved?"
"Secondly, I'm not your enemy. On the contrary, I'm your friend, or a partner you can cooperate with, because we have a common enemy. The reason the soul beasts have declined so quickly is inseparable from the culprit, Tang San. Ten thousand years ago, it was Tang San who set up a trap and killed your emperor, the auspicious beast. You may not know this! It was he who fused a strand of his daughter's soul with the auspicious beast, causing the auspicious beast to fall in love with Huo Yuhao, resulting in the loss of the soul beast clan's destiny and the rapid decline of your soul beasts."
"And Huo Yuhao, Tang San's son-in-law, don't forget how many powerful soul beasts Huo Yuhao took away, including the Snow Emperor, the Ice Emperor, the Evil Emperor, and a host of other ferocious beasts. With such a vast soul beast fortune, what did he give back to the soul beast clan? Did he build the Soul Pagoda and keep you captive like animals? Or did he massacre soul beasts and transform them into spirits?"
When mentioning Huo Yuhao, Di Tian's eyes twitched violently, and an unknown anger burned in his eyes.
"Finally, I can change the current situation of your soul beasts and allow them to continue to reproduce!" Le Qianyao said with a smile.
Di Tian's eyes fixed, and he finally showed an interested look: "What do you have in mind?"
"I said, the premise is that we are in a cooperative relationship!" Le Qianyao said.
"You! Very good!" Di Tian pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I agree to cooperate with you. Tell me! How do you want to cooperate?"
Le Qianyao shook his head and said, "No, you are not qualified to discuss cooperation with me. I'm talking about the person behind you!"
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Di Tian's eyes. He didn't understand how Le Qianyao knew about that person's existence, but no matter what, Le Qianyao would be a threat to them!
The two sides confronted each other for a moment, and finally, a low voice came from the bottom of the lake.
"Let him in, Di Tian!"
"Lord!"
"I said, let him in!" The light voice was filled with unquestionable majesty, which made Di Tian's body tremble suddenly.
"yes."
Di Tian lowered his head and responded. As Di Tian waved his hand, a huge whirlpool instantly appeared in the center of the Lake of Life.
"Please come in!"
Le Qianyao jumped into the center of the Lake of Life without any hesitation.
Entering the world at the bottom of the lake, it is a different world, as if entering a green world, filled with a rich breath of life.
In the very center, there is a huge silver monster. The bright silver light is dazzling and gorgeous. Just one glance can make people fall into it.
In an instant, the silver behemoth opened its eyes, and its deep purple pupils exuded an awe-inspiring aura.
