At this moment, the gloom that enveloped the World suddenly dissipated, and the thick tribulation clouds receded like a tide, revealing a clear, washed blue sky.
The Golden Eyed Black Dragon King, which had been covering the sky and sun, let out a long roar, and the divine light around its body surged. A dazzling pillar of energy erupted from its body, piercing through the sky and earth, soaring straight into the nine heavens!
The immense divine force contained within that pillar made space itself tremble.
In the dazzling divine light, the massive Dragon body gradually contracted, eventually transforming into a middle-aged man.
His face was majestic, his eyes deep, and ten spirit rings slowly rotated behind him, emitting a heart-palpitating Divine Might.
Each spirit ring contained vast divine force, and its brilliance was so intense that the entire Star Dou Great Forest submitted to it.
A Rank Three Divinity, having endured countless hardships, the Beast God Di Tian, finally achieved a God Position!
Di Tian slowly opened his eyes, golden light flowing within his Dragon pupils.
He felt the surging divine force within his body—a powerful sensation he had never experienced before.
He bowed deeply to Fang Yang, Gu Yue, and Na'er, his voice filled with uncontrollable excitement: "Your subordinate thanks my Lord for the grace of his Protector."
"Rise," Fang Yang nodded slightly. "From today onwards, the Soul Beast Clan has its own Divine Rank expert."
Gu Yue looked at Di Tian, complex light flickering in her black eyes.
At this moment, she seemed to see the hope of the Soul Beast Clan's resurgence.
Bi Ji and other Vicious Beasts prostrated themselves on the ground, their voices choked: "Congratulations, Beast God, on achieving your God Position!"
Even the usually unruly Xiong Jun lowered his head, his eyes full of reverence.
This was a moment the Soul Beast Clan had yearned for too long, a Breakthrough countless generations of Spirit Beasts had dreamed of.
Di Tian straightened up, his gaze sweeping over the Vicious Beasts present, his voice steady and powerful: "Today's achievement belongs to the entire Soul Beast Clan."
"From now on, we no longer need to eke out a meager existence under the oppression of humans."
His words contained the majesty of a Divine Rank expert, inspiring all Spirit Beasts and rekindling the flame of hope in their eyes.
In the distance, the human experts' expressions grew increasingly solemn.
"This is bad... Di Tian has become a God," Yun Ming gripped the Sky Piercing God Spear, his voice low.
He could feel that suffocating Divine Might, a power completely different from the Mortal level.
Ya Li gently held his hand, her eyes filled with worry: "Ming Ge, this is trouble..."
"The emergence of a Divine Rank expert in the Soul Beast Clan will completely shatter the balance of the Continent," Qian Gu Dongfeng said, covering his still aching chest, his face ashen.
Chen Xinjie took a deep breath, the Sea God Legion Commander's instinct making him immediately assess: "We must immediately inform all factions; this is a matter concerning the survival of humanity."
"Now, this is interesting..."
The Demon Emperor watched from afar, a meaningful smile playing on his lips, an unfathomable light flickering in his eyes.
At the same time, deep within the Spirit Transfer Pagoda headquarters.
"Zi, Di Tian has become a God..." Su Tao stood before the crystal light screen, his tone grave.
The screen showed the scene deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, where the ten spirit rings surrounding Di Tian emitted a heart-palpitating pressure.
Liu Yang slowly walked to his side, a glint flashing in his eyes: "Sun Moon Federation, Spirit Transfer Pagoda, Holy Spirit Church... it's time to push them into action."
"You mean?" Su Tao turned to look at him.
Liu Yang's voice was calm, yet carried a chilling killing intent: "It's time for Shrek Academy to disappear from this World."
"Then he..." Su Tao hesitated.
"The moment Shrek Academy is annihilated is when we will make our move."
Liu Yang's gaze deepened, "Qing, it's time for him to awaken too."
"Good, I will accelerate the progress," Su Tao nodded solemnly.
The two exchanged glances, simultaneously looking into the distance.
In that direction, Shrek Academy still stood, unaware that a shocking conspiracy against it was quietly brewing in the undercurrents... In the Star Dou Great Forest, the atmosphere was tense.
"Beast God Di Tian, what does your Soul Beast Clan intend to do?" Yun Ming asked, his voice wary.
As humanity's Peak combat power, he had to step forward.
Di Tian floated in the air, his tone icy cold: "What do we intend? For tens of thousands of years, you humans have wantonly slaughtered Spirit Beasts for your selfish desires, to obtain spirit rings and Spirit Bones. How many races have been wiped out because of this?!"
"Even this last sanctuary, the Star Dou Great Forest, has been continuously encroached upon and destroyed by you humans, now less than one-tenth remains! How should this blood debt be settled?"
His words caused the human experts present to change their expressions slightly; this was an unavoidable conflict, a stark reality.
Yun Ming gripped the Sky Piercing God Spear, his Aura beginning to rise, asking word by word: "So, are you declaring war on us humans...?"
"If you humans continue to act recklessly, then... let there be war!"
The ten spirit rings behind Di Tian suddenly lit up, and vast Divine Might swept across the World. The entire forest trembled with his fury.
"Di Tian, stop."
Just then, a calm yet undeniable voice rang out.
It was Fang Yang who spoke.
He took a step forward, looking at the surging Di Tian, his gaze as deep as an abyss.
"My Lord?"
The Divine Might around Di Tian paused slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes, but he still maintained his reverence.
Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, and the other Vicious Beasts also looked at Fang Yang in confusion.
They didn't understand why, at this moment when the Soul Beast Clan could finally hold its head high, their Lord would choose to stop them.
Yun Ming, Ya Li, and the other human experts were even more shocked, completely failing to comprehend why this mysterious existence, who had helped Di Tian become a God, would intervene at this moment.
Fang Yang's gaze swept over everyone present, whether human or Spirit Beast.
His voice was calm: "The Soul Beast Clan cannot start a war."
"My Lord..."
Di Tian wanted to say something more but felt two terrifying Divine Senses suddenly descend.
Gu Yue and Na'er also looked at Di Tian, and the invisible pressure immediately silenced him.
"The Continent is currently facing an abyss invasion. Is starting a war now meant to result in mutual destruction?"
Fang Yang said in a deep voice, "The Abyss Plane is eyeing us covetously. If we consume ourselves in internal strife, it will only give the enemy an opportunity."
At these words, both humans and Spirit Beasts fell silent.
The threat of the Abyss was indeed more urgent than any internal conflict; it was a crisis concerning the survival of the entire Douluo Continent.
Fang Yang's gaze was like a torch: "Even if the Soul Beast Clan wins, how many Spirit Beasts will be left? Will Spirit Beasts still have a habitat then?"
Fang Yang's gaze was like a torch, and he continued: "Even if the Soul Beast Clan wins, how many Spirit Beasts will be left? Will Spirit Beasts still have a habitat then?"
"What is the meaning of a victory built on a pile of ruins?"
His words were like heavy hammers, striking the hearts of every Vicious Beast.
The spirit rings behind Di Tian gradually dimmed, and he fell into contemplation.
Yun Ming and the others also showed solemn expressions; they had to admit that Fang Yang's words indeed hit the nail on the head.
"Then, my Lord... does the Soul Beast Clan just let this go?"
Di Tian's voice was low, filled with unwillingness.
Fang Yang's gaze swept over all the experts present, his tone calm: "We will negotiate to redefine the path of coexistence between humans and Spirit Beasts."
"Negotiate?!"
At these words, both humans and Spirit Beasts fell silent.
