Chapter 45: Million-Year-old Soul Beast, God-Level Soul Beast, the Co-Lord of All Soul Beasts!
The chat group fell into silence for a full ten seconds because of Lin Qingmo's words.
Everyone—whether human or soul beast—was frantically digesting that terrifying list from earlier.
Two hundred thousand years.
Four hundred thousand years.
Seven hundred thousand years.
Eight hundred thousand years…
Those numbers were like heavy hammers, smashing against the limits of their understanding again and again.
However, just as everyone's breathing had yet to steady—
Lin Qingmo threw out an even bigger bomb!
[Dad Douluo]: Already shocked?
His message carried a teasing tone, as if saying, "You people really haven't seen the world."
[Dad Douluo]: You probably don't know that in the setting of Unrivaled Tang Sect, the Star Dou Forest doesn't just have Fierce Beasts anymore—it also has a true million-year soul beast!
Million-year soul beast—again!
Those three words seemed to carry a kind of magic, making the pupils of everyone who saw them shrink violently.
[Dad Douluo]: Although that million-year soul beast ended up being treated like an ATM…
Lin Qingmo added this line, his tone a little complicated—somewhere between sympathy and absurd amusement.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm really was a talented soul beast. It ate and slept its way into becoming a million-year soul beast—yet couldn't even defeat a ten-thousand-year soul beast.
After accidentally wandering into the Star Dou Forest and being discovered by the Fierce Beasts there, it was simply treated as an energy bank—constantly drained to help other Fierce Beasts increase their cultivation.
Truly, the shame of all million-year soul beasts.
[Dad Douluo]: But aside from that, the Star Dou Forest also has a co-lord of all soul beasts—an existence with power surpassing a million years, one that has already reached the god level!
When it came to the strongest being in the Star Dou Forest, it was naturally Di Tian.
But above Di Tian, the true god-level existence was their master—the Silver Dragon King.
However, after being heavily injured by the Asura God, the Silver Dragon King fled to the Douluo Continent and went into hiding. Combined with her fear of being discovered by the God Realm, it was impossible for her to use her true power.
Not to mention Douluo Dalu I—even in Unrivaled Tang Sect, the Silver Dragon King was nothing more than a background existence.
It wasn't until Dragon King's Legend, when soul beasts and the Star Dou Forest were pushed to the brink of extinction by humanity—empowered by spirit souls, soul tools, and battle armor—that the Silver Dragon King truly emerged.
Unfortunately, afterward, the Silver Dragon King's incarnation, Gu Yuena, also fell victim to the cursed land of romance, falling in love with a human—Tang San's son, Tang Wulin.
Of course, these were merely Lin Qingmo's inner thoughts.
But the words he had spoken were already like thunder in the nine heavens, detonating in everyone's minds in the chat group!
God-level!
Co-lord of all soul beasts!
When these two phrases were combined, the shock they produced far surpassed everything that had come before.
[Little Witch]: A million-year soul beast? A god-level soul beast co-lord?
On the street, Ning Rongrong cried out loud, instantly drawing the attention of passersby.
She hurriedly covered her mouth, but her fingers trembled uncontrollably.
[Little Witch]: A—Ah… Qing, you're not joking, right?
Even the punctuation she typed seemed to be shaking.
This was far beyond "shocking"—it completely overturned her worldview!
[Tyrant Dragon Mom]: God-level… are there actually god-level beings among soul beasts?
Inside Blue Tyrant Academy, Liu Erlong slumped weakly into her chair.
It wasn't that she didn't believe it—it was just that the information was far too horrifying.
Her eyes stared blankly at the light screen.
All this time, she had believed gods were nothing more than legends—the ultimate realm pursued by human soul masters.
Yet now, Ah Qing was saying that soul beasts already had gods?
Then why do humans still exist today?
Why hadn't the god of soul beasts wiped out soul masters, who were naturally opposed to soul beasts?
None of it made sense!
[Big-Chested Kitty]: Th-this… is unbelievable…
Inside the inn.
Zhu Zhuqing slowly slid down the wall until she was sitting on the floor.
She hugged her knees, her black hair cascading down to hide her pale face.
The amount of information she had received today was simply too much—her brain was overloaded.
[The Pope Herself]: ...
Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong sat silently upon her throne, violent light flickering deep within her violet eyes.
Million-year soul beast!
God-level soul beast!
Co-lord of all soul beasts!
These words were like a storm, stirring up monstrous waves within her heart.
She had always believed soul beasts were nothing more than animals—tools for soul masters to obtain soul rings and increase their strength.
Even a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts were merely prey that was harder to hunt.
But now…
"So there are gods among soul beasts as well…"
She murmured, her voice trembling without her realizing it.
"And even million-year soul beasts… what exactly is hidden within the Star Dou Forest?"
A chill crept up her spine.
If this information were true, then humanity's understanding of soul beasts—from beginning to end—was completely wrong!
And disastrously so!
…
Extreme North.
Deep within the ice cavern.
The Ice Empress and Snow Empress were equally stunned into silence.
Their crystal-like eyes stared fixedly at the light screen, filled with disbelief.
"A million-year soul beast…"
"A god-level soul beast co-lord…"
Ice Empress murmured, her scorpion tail swaying unconsciously.
Snow Empress's voice remained calm and cold, yet upon closer listening, a faint tremor could be detected.
They had always believed themselves to be the pinnacle among soul beasts, standing at the top of the food chain.
Yet now, the Star Dou Forest was hiding a million-year soul beast? And even a god-level co-lord of soul beasts?
"I've never heard of this. What about you, Xue'er?"
Ice Empress turned toward Snow Empress, confusion evident in her tone.
"What exactly lies within the core region of the Star Dou Forest?"
The Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North did have some contact with the Fierce Beasts of the Star Dou Forest—but not much.
After all, the distance was vast, and their territories were different.
But now…
"If this is true…"
A grave expression surfaced on Snow Empress's peerlessly beautiful face.
"Then the structure of the soul beast world is far more complex than we imagined."
Suddenly, a question occurred to her—
Did that god-level soul beast co-lord know of the existence of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North?
If it knew… yet never contacted them—what did that mean?
The more she thought about it, the more terrifying it became.
[Little Witch]: If soul beasts already have gods, then what about humans?
Ning Rongrong finally managed to find her voice again, trembling as she typed.
God-level existences were legends upon legends to her.
Even the ancient records of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect only vaguely mentioned myths of gods, never anything concrete.
When Lin Qingmo saw this question, he couldn't help but laugh.
[Dad Douluo]: Aren't there a bunch of people who become gods at the end of Douluo I?
[Dad Douluo]: Tang San becomes the Sea God, Bibi Dong becomes the Rakshasa God, Qian Renxue becomes the Angel God—if that's not god-level, then what is?
[Dad Douluo]: There's also the previous Sea God enshrined on Sea God Island, and the previous Angel God worshipped by Spirit Hall. If we go further, there's even the God Realm. After that great upheaval, most of the current gods in the God Realm should be human gods.
[Little Witch]: Uh…
On the street, cold sweat instantly broke out on Ning Rongrong's forehead.
How could she have forgotten?
She wasn't even the "Little Witch Sister" Lin Qingmo was talking about—nor could she possibly know who would become gods in the future!
And there was absolutely no way she could know about something as terrifying as the God Realm!
"Dad, I'm so tired…"
She wore a pitiful expression, feeling like she was about to collapse.
The information overload from today's gossip was about to fry her brain.
And the others in the group—
[Tyrant Dragon Mom]: Bibi Dong? Becoming a god?!
When Liu Erlong saw the name "Bibi Dong," she froze on the spot.
That woman who had once been something like her romantic rival, who later became the Pope of Spirit Hall and held immense power—could she actually become a god?!
Her emotions were a tangled mess.
Shock, jealousy, confusion… and a trace of fear she didn't even want to admit.
If Bibi Dong truly became a god, then what path awaited someone like herself, who had so many entanglements and grudges with her?
[The Pope Herself]: …
Bibi Dong's breathing abruptly stalled.
A sharp gleam flashed through her violet eyes as her fingers clenched tightly.
"I actually… become a god?"
She truly was undergoing the Rakshasa God's divine trials.
That was the most critical part of her plan—to obtain god-level power and destroy Spirit Hall!
But the trials were extremely difficult. She was currently stuck, still preparing for the Soul Hunt Operation, uncertain whether she could succeed.
And now, Lin Qingmo was telling her that her future self successfully passed the trials and became the Rakshasa God.
A trace of wild joy was just about to surge from her heart—
[Dad Douluo]: Mm-hmm!
Lin Qingmo's reply popped up, his tone relaxed.
[Dad Douluo]: But Bibi Dong becomes the Rakshasa God—and honestly, that god position isn't very good. It's a powerful Level 1 Godhood, sure, but it twists the mind and turns the holder into a purely evil monster.
Every single word was like an ice spike, stabbing straight into Bibi Dong's heart.
The joy froze instantly, replaced by a bone-chilling cold.
[The Pope Herself]: Th-this… what does that mean?
