Chapter 594: Donuts Are Delicious
Among the soul beasts of Star Dou Forest, the most rebellious was undoubtedly Xiong Jun.
Di Tian had always felt that Xiong Jun was dissatisfied with him, constantly eyeing his position as Beast God.
And now, Xiong Jun was using this opportunity to challenge his authority.
But Di Tian knew very well that his position wasn't just based on strength it was also due to the Lord's trust.
His cooperation with Huo Yuhao was purely for the Lord's sake and the survival of the soul beast race.
Xiong Jun's argument wasn't without merit if human strength increased too much, soul beasts would find it even harder to survive.
However, the Lord's most urgent need was time.
If Huo Yuhao truly had the means to expose her location to the God Realm, then Di Tian would regret it for eternity.
No matter what, he couldn't take that risk.
Xiong Jun's fierce gaze intensified, his bloodlust almost bursting forth.
Just as he was about to continue his outburst, Di Tian's booming voice echoed in his mind.
"Xiong Jun, if you don't want to die, do not interfere with my cooperation with Huo Yuhao! Otherwise, I will not hesitate to use my Dragon King Claw on you."
Xiong Jun's eyes widened in fear.
A deep terror spread through his heart he could sense the killing intent in Di Tian's voice.
He had never seen the Dragon King Claw in action before.
Even back when Di Tian fought the Evil Eyed Tyrant Master, he had never used it.
The Dragon King Claw was said to carry a trace of the Dragon God's aura.
Only the leader of the Black Dragon lineage could wield it, and any soul beast struck by it without divine protection would be utterly annihilated.
Despite his rebellious nature, Xiong Jun wasn't foolish enough to test its power.
He had lived for centuries he had no intention of dying now.
He had initially believed that Huo Yuhao was simply bluffing and that Di Tian had been deceived.
But now, under Di Tian's terrifying threat, he had no choice but to suppress his resentment.
Some time later, Huo Yuhao stored all the soul bones in his spatial soul tool and then turned to Di Tian.
"Di Tian, I can see your sincerity."
Among the soul bones he had received, there were not only thousand year and ten thousand year soul bones but also several hundred thousand year soul bones.
It was likely that some hundred thousand year soul beasts had perished under heavenly tribulation, leaving behind these bones.
Perhaps…
One of these soul bones even belonged to Xiao Wu's father, who had never returned after heading to Star Dou's core region.
Di Tian's gaze burned with anticipation.
"So, what is the truth behind the Dragon God's fall?"
He had been waiting for this answer.
As for the Lord, even though she was still recovering from her injuries, she would occasionally awaken and communicate with him.
From their past conversations, she was certain that the Asura God had killed the Dragon God, leading to the split between herself and the Golden Dragon King.
To her, the Asura God was her greatest enemy.
But…
Could there have been a deeper truth behind the Dragon God's fall?
Huo Yuhao's expression remained calm.
"Your sincerity is commendable, but it's not enough. For now, I cannot tell you. Once the Silver Dragon King awakens, I will discuss this matter with her and you may listen in."
Di Tian's face darkened.
Huo Yuhao wasn't underestimating him the reality was that the true ruler of the soul beast race was the Silver Dragon King.
Some decisions were beyond Di Tian's authority.
Huo Yuhao knew that if the Silver Dragon King were awake, she would have already reached out to him after sensing his Water Dragon King aura.
Since she hadn't, it meant she was still deep in recovery.
Of course, even when he eventually met the Silver Dragon King, he wasn't afraid.
She wouldn't dare act recklessly, as doing so could draw the attention of the God Realm.
Furthermore, when she fled the God Realm, she was severely wounded, her divine consciousness shattered, and her soul reduced to mere instincts.
Even though she still held a godly position, her strength was far from her peak.
Otherwise, in the original timeline, she wouldn't have needed to hide among humans, suppressing her own power.
She had to seal herself away just to blend in.
It wasn't as if she was influenced by some "romance destiny" that forced her to experience love among humans.
Meanwhile, in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy...
Juzi, Su Tong, and Meng Hongchen sat around a dining table filled with delicious food.
However, none of them had the appetite to eat.
Juzi frowned in irritation.
"That damn Star Luo Empire! In order to stop talents from defecting to the Sun Moon Empire, they've joined forces with the other two nations and reinforced their borders. Over the past few days, the number of newcomers has dropped significantly."
Su Tong looked concerned.
"I know some people who had already contacted the Spirit Pagoda. They were planning to join us after learning about the benefits here. But if they're blocked at the border, what will happen to them?"
Meng Hongchen comforted her.
"Don't worry, Su Tong. Juzi will surely find a way."
Juzi sighed.
"I do have a solution… but it will require activating some of our sleeper agents."
The Sun Moon Empire had planted spies in the Three Empires long ago.
Their goal had always been to pave the way for an eventual conquest.
Now, those spies could help smuggle talented individuals across the border into the Sun Moon Empire.
The Three Empires weren't a monolithic force there were many internal factions.
And the border control measures weren't flawless there were gaps that could be exploited.
Hearing this, Su Tong finally relaxed.
Meng Hongchen, however, felt a pang of regret as she looked at Su Tong.
With her Ultimate Ice talent, Su Tong should have already been a Soul Sage by now.
But due to her past circumstances, she had fallen behind.
Juzi finally spoke up.
"Enough talking. Let's eat."
She turned to Su Tong with a smile.
"Here, Su Tong. This is something Yuhao invented recently. He calls it a 'donut.' Try it and see what you think."
"Donut?"
Su Tong picked one up, looking curious.
She took a bite her eyes widened in delight.
"It's delicious!"
