Xu Yunren was already prepared to bleed heavily, but he didn't expect Mu Yang to only take these few items.
The value of that 60,000-year-old Extreme Sun Bird Right Arm Bone was indeed very high, but the Sun Moon Empire imperial family could afford just that, and it was even an understatement to say it was a drop in the bucket.
"Your Majesty Sun God, these are the materials you requested."
Taking the items Xu Yunren handed over, Mu Yang flipped through them one by one, trying to find some novel and special techniques, but in the end, as expected, he found nothing.
"This is?"
Mu Yang pulled out a contract from the documents, which stated that the Sun Moon Empire would honor the Sun God Sect as the state religion and allocate a large portion of national territory to the Sun God Sect.
The Sun God Sect would have absolute autonomy over this territory; no one, not even the Sun Moon Emperor, could interfere, and they could establish a Guardian Army to protect the safety of the Sun God Sect…
Many conditions that even the great nobles dared not imagine were written on it, conditions that even the most unique power on the continent—Shrek Academy—did not possess.
But Mu Yang's expression remained unchanged, because in his opinion, this was normal and nothing strange.
After all, if he wanted to, unifying the world was just a word away; those who disobeyed would die, and the rest would be those who agreed and submitted.
"This is the sincerity of our Sun Moon Empire."
"Then I'll accept it."
Mu Yang glanced at Xu Yunren, seeing that the other party looked like, "Please be sure to accept it, otherwise I will commit seppuku in front of you," so he didn't refuse.
He'll keep it for the Skywing Merchant Guild members who come to Douluo World later. The Douluo World II plot has only just begun, and although he has made it almost unrecognizable, it still has development value.
Just speaking of Soul Beasts, their meat can be eaten, their Soul Rings can be used as energy, and parts of their bodies can be forged and used for medicine…
Leaving the Sun Moon imperial palace, Mu Yang took out a memo from his pocket, briefly recorded his current goals, and then flew towards the Evil Forest.
He remembered that there was a Tyrant Master of the Evil Eye in the Evil Forest, known as the Evil Emperor, whose strength was no less than Di Tian's, and who cooperated with Evil Soul Masters!
Since that's the case, he'll just pack him up and take him away.
With a sweep of his vast spiritual power through the Evil Forest, Mu Yang discovered the deeply hidden Tyrant Master of the Evil Eye.
It was a gigantic eye over three hundred meters in size, with eighty-one tentacles surrounding the terrifying giant eye.
Each tentacle was over five hundred meters long, giving off a strong Cthulhu vibe.
It is said that this thing is also the totem of the Sun Moon Empire; one can only say that the imperial family's aesthetic is too poor, as looking at such a thing for even a moment is a torment to the spirit.
"Listen… to the roar of the scorching sun."
The soaring divine words stirred the scorching sun hanging high in the sky, and the hot aura immediately shook the entire Evil Forest.
The Evil Emperor's face showed horror. It didn't know when it had provoked this new god, but surrendering was definitely too late, and it didn't want to sit and wait for death.
The Evil Emperor's tentacles danced wildly, and eighty-one dark red tentacles instantly erupted into a powerful spiritual storm.
But all of this was merely a mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating its own strength.
As the Solar Flare descended, the spiritual storm was easily annihilated before it could cause even the slightest ripple in the energy unleashed by the scorching sun.
The Evil Emperor, whose strength was only slightly weaker than Di Tian's, was incinerated into a wisp of smoke permeated with a burnt smell in the next second, and then dispersed into the air by a gentle breeze in the next instant.
[You have killed the Tyrant Master of the Evil Eye]
[Obtained 5% of World Origin, now a total of 31% of World Origin obtained]
[You have obtained a Treasure Chest (Blue)]
… … … …
Picking up the Evil Emperor's treasure chest and the external Soul Bone, the Evil Eye.
Mu Yang raised his head to gaze at the heart of the Evil Forest, his light golden eyes like torches, burning through layers of miasma, his gaze meeting that of a certain little dragon girl who was peeking at the place.
"Silver Dragon King, come out."
Seeing that Mu Yang had discovered her, Gu Yuena didn't feel surprised. After all, at such a close distance, the thick, blood-like Asura aura on her body could be sensed by any god.
The light and shadows in the forest suddenly folded, and a silver-haired girl shed her spatial concealment and appeared before Mu Yang.
Her silver hair was like a moonlit waterfall woven from moonlight, and her pair of purple eyes were clear and bright, reflecting the scorching sun's golden radiance swirling around Mu Yang, perfect from every angle.
Hmm, a dragon knight is also very good.
"The… Divine King of the scorching sun, it is an honor… to meet you."
Gu Yuena spoke intermittently, using the phrases Di Tian and the other beasts had taught her.
In the past, others would flatter her, but now it was her turn to flatter someone else, and Gu Yuena expressed that she really didn't know what to say.
"Hmm, hello."
After this, Gu Yuena stopped speaking.
Because Di Tian and the others hadn't taught her the next set of phrases, and Di Tian and the others also didn't know how to converse with a human Divine King.
Should she go straight to the point?
Gu Yuena felt it was a bit inappropriate; simply stating it like that, how would she convince Mu Yang?
To subdue him by force?
Her current state was at most half of her peak; fighting Tang San was fine, but dealing with a genuine Divine King was unlikely.
So her brain, which hadn't been used for tens of thousands of years, began to churn, thinking about how to convince Mu Yang.
Mu Yang also remained silent, just quietly watching Gu Yuena.
He was very curious about what means Gu Yuena would use to convince him to intervene in the matters of the God Realm and the Soul Beasts, and to firmly stand on the side of the Soul Beasts.
Anyway, he had plenty of time, no rush, just enjoying the scenery.
So the two sides just looked at each other, neither speaking, and the atmosphere became tense for a while.
"What… are your thoughts on Soul Beasts?"
After a long while, Gu Yuena finally organized her words.
She couldn't stay outside the Lake of Life for long. Her appearance before Mu Yang now was because the Divine Kings of the God Realm were all attracted by Tang San, so no god was paying attention to the Douluo World.
This might be her only chance to communicate with Mu Yang face-to-face, and she had to seize it.
No thoughts, after all, the rule of not allowing Soul Beasts to become gods was left by the Dragon God whom you revere, Mu Yang thought to himself, but he wasn't so straightforward with his words.
"Thoughts? I think Soul Beasts are an indispensable part of the Soul Master system. But the plight of Soul Beasts is very difficult; without Beast Gods, Soul Beasts will sooner or later be swallowed by human greed, and Soul Masters might also disappear into the long river of history as a result."
Mu Yang spoke very objectively, because by Douluo World III, Soul Beasts were already on the verge of extinction, and this was even with Soul Spirits providing Soul Rings to middle and lower-class people.
The method of Soul Spirits was created by Eilex, and now that Huo Yuhao no longer had Eilex, Soul Spirits would likely be gone too.
If there were no accidents, it would probably not take thousands of years for a racial war to break out between Soul Beasts and humans.
And if Soul Beasts also had gods, then the plight of Soul Beasts would improve.
But unfortunately, the only remaining Beast Gods are the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King; one is trapped in the God Realm, and the other is still recovering from severe injuries.
As for Xiao Wu… she's at most a scabbard for the Asura Sword.
Upon receiving Mu Yang's reply, Gu Yuena's eyes lit up; his words resonated deeply with her.
Thus, the naive Silver Dragon King extended an olive branch to Mu Yang, inviting him to conspire for a great cause.
