Chapter 358: Subduing the Evil Emperor, Taking the Evil Emperor Back to the Beast God Realm
"Evil Emperor, you should transform into a half-human form. Your current appearance is too startling, and it makes people uncomfortable," Ye Wen said.
The Evil Emperor didn't respond but obediently switched to a half-human form. Soul Beasts of its level were capable of switching to a half-human form.
"Mm, this looks much more pleasing!" Ye Wen remarked as he assessed the Evil Emperor's half-human form. As expected, it still exuded a sinister, eerie aura, but surprisingly, it actually looked quite handsome.
"Alright, Evil Emperor, no need to beat around the bush. Let me get straight to the point. The first thing you know is that I want you to submit to me, become my subordinate, and follow me in the future."
"The second thing is that I will take you to my Beast God Realm, and I'll help you ascend to godhood and break through to become a god!"
"Remember, I am the ruler of the Beast God Realm, the creator of the Beast God Realm. Once you meet the requirements to become a god, I will consider granting you a divine rank."
After explaining his position, identity, and the general situation of the Beast God Realm, Ye Wen's tone became serious, and he looked at the Evil Emperor gravely. "Listen carefully, Evil Emperor, I'm giving you only one chance to decide now."
"One, absolute loyalty, submit to me, and I will guide you to become a god. Two, stay in your Evil Demon Forest, but you will lose the opportunity to become a god forever."
The Evil Emperor, the strongest Soul Beast on the Sun Moon Continent and the ruler of the Soul Beasts on this continent, was used to being the leader, the king. Now, suddenly being asked to become someone's subordinate was something it couldn't easily accept.
But Ye Wen's identity, status, and influence were far too powerful.
After learning about Ye Wen's identity and the matters of the God Realm, the Evil Emperor was deeply shocked, even somewhat envious.
The main temptation was the possibility of quickly ascending to godhood, and the Evil Emperor found this irresistible.
After struggling and hesitating, the Evil Emperor realized that submitting to such a powerful Beast God wouldn't be a disgrace. It finally made up its mind, biting its lip, and steeling itself.
"Alright!!"
"I, the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler, the Evil Emperor, am willing to submit to the Beast God, from now on, I will remain loyal and follow you to the death!" The Evil Emperor knelt on one knee, showing its determination.
Just like that, the strongest Soul Beast on the Sun Moon Continent, the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler, the Evil Emperor, chose to submit to Ye Wen, joining his Beast God Realm power.
"Good, Evil Emperor, get ready, you can leave the Evil Demon Forest and ascend to the God Realm with me," Ye Wen nodded in satisfaction. After the Evil Emperor ascends to godhood, it would undoubtedly become a powerful general.
"Yes! Beast God!" The Evil Emperor had completely let go of its past pride as the ruler it once was and now humbled itself.
This submission did not represent true loyalty, though. Ye Wen still needed time to evaluate the Evil Emperor's true loyalty. As long as it proved to be truly loyal, it would be granted a first-level divine position.
Having completed both of his tasks on the Sun Moon Continent, Ye Wen decided it was time to return to the God Realm.
However, Ye Wen planned to accompany Qian Renxue back to Douluo Continent first.
So, Ye Wen, Qian Renxue, and the Evil Emperor set off once again, heading back to Douluo Continent.
Many days later, after crossing the vast ocean, they finally returned to Douluo Continent. The Evil Emperor was thoroughly shocked upon entering Douluo Continent for the first time. It hadn't expected that apart from the Sun Moon Continent, there was such a vast land.
The Evil Emperor suddenly felt like a frog in a well.
There were always people more powerful than you, and the world is far bigger than you imagine!
Returning to Douluo Continent also meant that Ye Wen and Qian Renxue's journey across other continents had come to an end, and they would soon part ways.
"Xue'er, how have you thought about our matter?" Ye Wen asked directly.
As for the name "Xue'er," ever since that night, he stopped calling her Qian Renxue.
"Ye Wen, this matter... Let's talk about it later," Qian Renxue said after a moment of silence.
"Alright, no worries. You and I are both gods, with eternal lives. I have enough time to wait. I said I would wait for you," Ye Wen said seriously, then added, "So, this parting may last a long time for you."
Ye Wen said this while pulling Qian Renxue into his arms, kissing her on the forehead before turning to leave. "Farewell, Xue'er. We're leaving, Evil Emperor."
Ye Wen flew into the air with the Evil Emperor.
Qian Renxue's face turned bright red as she watched Ye Wen's retreating figure. She touched the lingering warmth on her forehead, muttering to herself, "This guy, I'm not even his woman, and he just kisses me whenever he wants."
But she didn't know why, as she watched Ye Wen leave, she felt a deep sense of loss and loneliness.
She suddenly felt an overwhelming impulse to follow Ye Wen, as if her heart had finally been completely captured by him.
Though it seemed like she finally understood her own heart, this time, Qian Renxue still couldn't make a decision.
She couldn't just go with Ye Wen now.
She had reasons to stay in the Mortal Realm. If she went to the Beast God Realm now, it would openly signal the Human God Realm that she had betrayed them.
In that case, many of Ye Wen's plans in the Mortal Realm would be affected. She also had to stay in the Mortal Realm to spread the Soul Guidance Device technology within the Martial Soul Hall.
She would have the Martial Soul Hall master this technology first and then spread it throughout Douluo Continent.
"Your Majesty! You've finally returned!"
"Gather all the Soul Master blacksmiths from our Martial Soul Hall forces and have them assemble in the Pope's Hall!!" Qian Renxue immediately gave the order. The first thing she did upon returning was to arrange for people to learn how to make Soul Guidance Devices.
"Yes!!"
Although the high-ranking officials didn't fully understand what Qian Renxue wanted to do, they all went ahead and did it.
The Martial Soul Hall immediately sent word and gathered all the blacksmith Soul Masters from the Martial Soul Hall. Within less than half a month, more than a thousand blacksmith Soul Masters had gathered in the Pope's Hall.
Among these thousand blacksmith Soul Masters, there were blacksmiths of every level.
Junior blacksmiths, intermediate blacksmiths, senior blacksmiths, master blacksmiths, grandmaster blacksmiths—every level of blacksmith was present, except for divine blacksmiths.
But that didn't matter.
Qian Renxue had now understood the key to making Soul Guidance Devices, and how a Soul Master's growth system actually had little to do with the blacksmith's level. The blacksmithing skills were not a decisive factor.
Even a lower-ranked blacksmith could potentially become a stronger Soul Master.
Because blacksmithing was just a foundation, the real key was engraving the core magic formation. The core magic formation determined the Soul Master's level.
"Listen up! From now on, I will personally teach you how to master the technology of making Soul Guidance Devices!!"
