Chapter 318. Xiao Gang's Great Purge (Part 2)
Qian Xunji completely ignored Titan's screams and then said to the God of Asura, "You want to pledge your allegiance to me?"
Seeing this, the God of Asura quickly shook his head and said, "No, I, the God of Asura, know I've been tainted by Tang San's original sin and am no longer worthy to pledge my allegiance to you, Your Holiness the Pope. Let me be your dog."
"Heh." Qian Xunji now understood that the God of Asura was afraid. He said, "Making you my dog isn't out of the question, but I need to see your loyalty."
The God of Asura immediately changed his tune, saying, "Master, this servant is willing to offer everything to show my loyalty."
The God of Asura had certainly learned the Sea God's rhetoric quite well.
Qian Xunji nodded in satisfaction, patted the Asura God's head, and said, "Hehehe, very good. You have the potential to be a good servant. Asura God, give me all your cultivation, and I will believe in your loyalty."
Hearing Qian Xunji's words, the Asura God hesitated. Now that the Asura God's divine essence was in Qian Xunji's hands, the Asura God's greatest asset was his cultivation. If he gave his cultivation to Qian Xunji, his plan to flee would fail.
"What, were you just trying to fool me?" Qian Xunji looked at the Asura God with a dangerous gaze, a ball of black flame appearing in his palm.
The Asura God nodded repeatedly and said, "No, no, no, this servant is willing. It is this servant's honor to offer all of my cultivation to Your Excellency."
"Hahahaha, good, good servant." Qian Xunji directly carried the Asura God into the Time-Space Meditation Chamber. After arriving at the Time-Space Meditation Chamber, the Asura God did not immediately unlock the Asura God Binding Lock, but instead displayed his strength.
The Chaos God King's position, the Dragon God's position.
"Master, you've advanced to God King in such a short time?" Asura God asked, swallowing hard.
Qian Xunji said, "You don't need to know why I was able to do it in such a short time. You just need to know that even if I temporarily release you, don't think about running away. And I'm the only one who controls the exit of this spacetime meditation room. This God-Binding Lock can bind you at any time."
Hearing Qian Xunji's wariness, Asura God gave up all thoughts of escape.
After Qian Xunji unlocked the God-Binding Lock, Asura God obediently transferred all his cultivation to Qian Xunji.
A God King's cultivation converted into 60 million points of divine power. Previously, this would have allowed Qian Xunji to break through to the God King realm instantly, but after Qian Xunji's advancement to the God King realm, it was merely icing on the cake.
Reluctantly transferring all his divine power to Qian Xunji, the Asura God said, "Master, this old servant has given you all my cultivation."
Qian Xunji said with satisfaction, "Seeing how filial you are to me, very good. I've decided to take you as my dog."
Seeing the Asura God's cooperation, Qian Xunji decided to keep him around for a while to tease him.
"Great! Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!" the Asura God said excitedly, even flattering Qian Xunji a few times. Of course, amidst the Asura God's excitement, a sinister glint flashed in his eyes!
Now that he was finally free from the danger of being burned, the Asura God planned to cultivate properly here and then find an opportunity to run away. Of course, he wouldn't let that bastard Qian Xunji get away with it. He would definitely report it to the Divine Realm Committee and have the entire Divine Realm punish this wicked villain.
Even if Qian Xunji didn't know the specifics of the Asura God's thoughts, he could guess a thing or two from the emotional feedback emanating from him.
Despite his lingering ambition, it didn't matter. Qian Xunji had only agreed to submit to the Asura God and take him as his dog; it didn't mean he couldn't kill the dog.
Once Tang San became a god and the Asura God's divine position was inherited, it would be Qian Xunji's time to kill the dog.
Qian Xunji let the Asura God continue cultivating inside, while he himself left the spacetime meditation chamber and headed to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Deep within the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest, a giant, silver-white dragon was resting, surrounded by the lair of a group of ferocious beasts.
Bi Ji, Zi Ji, Di Tian, Xiong Jun, and others were hibernating there, and in the center, a plump ice silkworm was wriggling.
"Da Mei, no, Yamete!" The ice silkworm writhed, resisting the shameless exploitation of these soul beasts.
However, a large amount of energy within it continued to flow out, supplying these ferocious beasts.
Suddenly, the silver dragon opened its eyes.
Her resurgence awakened the beasts in the lair.
"My lord, you're awake," the black dragon said respectfully.
"I sense the Dragon God's aura nearby," the silver dragon king said, dragging his wounded body.
"Dragon God? How is this possible?" the black dragon said.
"Go out and see for me," the silver dragon king said.
At present, Gu Yuena's injuries had not yet healed, and she was still unable to move easily. The black dragon obeyed and immediately tore open the space between the Lake of Life and the outside world.
Outside the Lake of Life, the space in front of Qian Xunji tore open, and then a huge black dragon appeared before Qian Xunji. The black dragon's vertical pupils stared at Qian Xunji for a moment, and the next moment, its huge body disappeared, transforming into a middle-aged man with black hair and golden eyes.
The man knelt on one knee and said, "Dragon God, you really are the Dragon God!"
Qian Xunji shook his head and said, "I regret that I am not the Dragon God you understand, the one in your memories. I have only inherited the Dragon God's divine position."
Qian Xunji did not hide this fact, nor did he bother to hide it.
"No, you are recognized by the Dragon God's divine authority, you are the Dragon God, the Dragon God who can lead our Soul Beast race to revenge," the man said.
"You are Di Tian, right?" Qian Xunji asked.
"Yes, Lord Dragon God," Di Tian said. "Lord Dragon God, my lord is injured and unable to come out. She formally invites you to enter the Lake of Life."
"Lead the way," Qian Xunji said.
After a while, led by Di Tian, Qian Xunji entered the Lake of Life and witnessed the true power of the Soul Beasts within.
Bi Ji, Zi Ji, Xiong Jun, Di Tian, the Ten Thousand Demon King and of course, that mobile energy pack, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm!
In the center of the Lake of Life, a silver dragon, larger than Di Tian but with an elegant and slender form, was using the energy there to heal its injuries.
She barely opened her eyes, saw Qian Xunji, and her first words almost shocked him to death:
"Father, you've come."
Father? ???
Qian Xunji nearly coughed up blood. Qian Renxue called him "Daddy" because she was indeed his biological daughter, but what was with Gu Yuena?
He, Qian Xunji, had ulterior motives for coming to the Lake of Life; he was here to be a dragon knight, not to collect a dragon girl!
"Wait, why are you calling me that?" Qian Xunji asked.
"Because you possess the aura of the Father God and the Golden Dragon King. In my eyes, you are the Dragon God," Gu Yuena said firmly.
Was it that Dragon God's essence? Just as Qian Xunji was about to explain, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena's body vanished, transforming into a tiny silver-haired girl no taller than Qian Xunji's knees. The little girl pounced on Qian Xunji, sweetly calling out, "Father, Nana missed you so much!"
Qian Xunji: "..."
This Gu Yuena is a little different from what I imagined. Could it be that I arrived too early, and she's too young?
"I'm not your father," Qian Xunji was about to blurt out, but looking at the adorable Gu Yuena in his arms, he stopped talking.
Actually, having such a daughter wasn't bad.
"The three hundred thousand years have passed; the Dragon God must return to his position," Di Tian said, kneeling on one knee.
"Dragon God, please lead us to destroy humanity, march on the God Realm, and take back everything that originally belonged to our Soul Beast race," Xiong Jun said.
"Please lead us to victory, Dragon God!"
The ferocious beasts cheered for the arrival of Qian Xunji, the Dragon God.
Qian Xunji said, embarrassed, "Stop, stop, stop. I will lead you to change the injustice the God Realm inflicts on Soul Beasts."
After painstakingly calming the rioting beasts, Qian Xunji said to the little girl Gu Yuena, "Nana, recover first."
Gu Yuena nodded, and after reverting to her Silver Dragon King form, Qian Xunji activated his Dragon God Divine Spark to completely heal the wounds left by that cowardly Asura God on Gu Yuena's body.
"Thank you, Father," Gu Yuena said.
Qian Xunji affectionately patted Gu Yuena's head and then said to Di Tian, "Gather all the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest that are over 100,000 years old."
"Yes, Lord Dragon God," Di Tian replied.
After an unknown amount of time, the spatial gate opened wide, and a large group of ferocious beasts were brought in by Di Tian.
Inside the entire space, demons danced wildly, and Xiong Jun excitedly said, "Lord Dragon God, are you going to attack the human world next?"
"As long as you give the order, I am willing to be the vanguard," Qian Xunji said. "Let's not talk about attacking the human world for now. The purpose of gathering you here is to have you carry out a Soul Ring Seal-Blocking Plan."
"Soul Ring Seal-Blocking, what does that mean?" Di Tian asked.
"Star Dou Great Forest, Sunset Forest, and other places on the continent where Soul Masters hunt Soul Beasts—I want them to become forbidden zones for humans. You are not allowed to actively invade the human world. However, when humans enter your forbidden zones to hunt Soul Rings, mobilize 100,000 Soul Beasts to drive them away. Do not allow humans to obtain any Soul Rings in the territory of Soul Beasts."
"Lord Dragon God, why is this?" Xiong Jun asked, puzzled. "Wouldn't it be better to just take the initiative?"
"This is part of the plan," Qian Xunji said.
The Soul Beasts:
Di Tian raised his question: "Lord Dragon God, if we are to turn the Soul Beast world into a forbidden zone for humans, I'm afraid a few of us won't be enough."
Qian Xunji said: "It's alright. I have as many Soul Beasts as you need. In short, don't let humans step into the forbidden zones of Soul Beasts. Of course, you should not enter the human world either."
With that, Qian Xunji directly opened the 100,000-year-old Soul Beast Secret Realm, entered it, and used the authority of the Dragon God to subdue a large number of Soul Beasts inside, then brought all of them out of the secret realm.
"Are these enough soul beasts?" Qian Xunji asked Di Tian.
Looking at the large group of soul beasts before him, most were over 100,000 years old, and there were even more ferocious beasts, including an 800,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and soul beasts over 900,000 years old.
Their combat power directly overwhelmed the group of ferocious beasts at the core of the Star Dou Great Forest's Lake of Life!
"Enough," Di Tian said, swallowing hard.
