life on the Magic Network Forum is tough, Di Tian sighed.
Di Tian's golden eyes transformed into dragon pupils, glaring fiercely at the Demon King and Bear Lord.
The Demon King and Bear Lord were completely bewildered, exchanging bewildered glances, unsure of what was going on.
Their manners were impeccable; they certainly hadn't neglected their lord. Why was Di Tian glaring at them so fiercely?
To Di Tian, the Demon King and Bear Lord were the most rebellious in the entire Star Dou Great Forest!
One had silently ruled over a third of the plant-spirit beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, almost stealing the core area.
The other was a hot-tempered old bear who dared to challenge him.
After the beast gathering ended, Di Tian decided to give the Demon King and Bear Lord a good talking-to, lest they harbor any ill intentions because their lord lacked authority.
He was afraid these two would cause Gu Yuena to have a major incident.
As his lord's most loyal subordinate, Di Tian felt it necessary to restore the prestige his master had so thoroughly discredited.
Di Tian glanced at Bi Ji, Zi Ji, and Chi Wang again, this time with a much gentler look, and nodded to them.
These three ferocious beasts were among the most honest and obedient in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Bi Ji needed no introduction; she was his wife, her charm was strong, no need for further explanation!
Zi Ji was his outstanding junior! A rising star of the Dragon Clan, she was also the type who wouldn't cause trouble.
Chi Wang, true to his canine bloodline, though somewhat irritable, was extremely loyal, protecting the auspicious beasts year-round without complaint—a chosen ox or horse.
Di Tian stepped forward, standing before Gu Yue Na, and respectfully said to her,
"My lord!"
"We welcome your return!"
Then Di Tian glanced back at the five ferocious beasts.
Wan Yao Wang was the first to step forward and bow to Gu Yue Na.
"My lord, I am the Demon King of Ten Thousand Demons, my true form is the Demon Eye Tree."
"Welcome back with great respect!"
The Demon King of Ten Thousand Demons' respectful tone and admiring gaze pleased Gu Yuena greatly, making her believe he was intimidated by her majesty.
Seeing his leader smile, the Demon King of Ten Thousand Demons' praise of Gu Yuena became increasingly outrageous, and everyone present could see his determination to improve!
He was truly eager to advance!
The other ferocious beasts, realizing what was happening, bowed to Gu Yuena one after another, identifying themselves.
"Bi Ji, the Emerald Swan, welcomes your return!"
"Chi Wang, the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound, welcomes your return!"
"Xiong Jun, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, welcomes your return!"
"Zi Ji, the Hell Demon Dragon King, welcomes your return!"
After the five ferocious beasts introduced themselves, they retreated behind Di Tian. They were now completely at ease, knowing how to deal with Gu Yuena.
Treat this lord the same way you would treat auspicious beasts—that was the right way!
Di Tian shook his head helplessly, looking solemnly at Gu Yuena and saying,
"My lord, you woke up so early, won't that delay your treatment?"
Hearing Di Tian's words, Gu Yuena lightly waved her jade-like arm, her silver dress fluttering gently, revealing her slender legs.
"It's alright."
"I don't lack a little time."
"During my healing process, a strange fluctuation swept through my spiritual sea."
"Then a light screen appeared before my eyes, and no matter what method I used, I couldn't close this strange light screen."
Upon hearing this, Di Tian's golden pupils suddenly contracted. He realized that this light screen wasn't targeting them, these ferocious beasts, but all life on the continent!
"Even you, my lord, have one?!"
Gu Yuena tilted her head, looking at Di Tian.
"You have one too?"
The Demon King answered before Di Tian could, completely disregarding Di Tian's slightly displeased expression.
"Your lord!"
"I have already obtained information through the plants of the Star Dou Great Forest!"
"All soul beasts with ten thousand years of cultivation have this light screen before their eyes!"
"Not only that, I had several plant soul beasts capture humans who entered the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Confirming that they also have the same light screen before their eyes!"
As the king of the plant soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Demon King's intelligence-gathering ability far surpassed Di Tian's.
Gu Yuena looked at the Demon King with admiration in her purple eyes. This Demon Eye Tree not only spoke very well, but his abilities were also outstanding. Perhaps she could trust him more in the future.
Di Tian's fists were now hardening. He felt that the Demon King wanted to eat the Dragon God's Claw!
Gu Yuena nodded slightly to Di Tian and the others, saying,
"Since that's the case,"
"It seems that all intelligent life on the continent possesses this light screen,"
"Only the God Realm can achieve this!"
"And not just any ordinary god, but at least several God Kings must cooperate to accomplish this!"
The ferocious beasts present exchanged glances, and then Di Tian continued to question Gu Yuena.
"Then, my lord, what exactly does the God Realm want to do?"
Gu Yuena revealed a confident smile and said to the ferocious beasts,
"It's probably surveillance!"
"The God Realm wants to monitor the entire Douluo Continent through this method!"
"I've seen a similar screen in part of the Dragon God's memories; it's a surveillance device."
"So I'm certain this must be a conspiracy by the God Realm..."
Then a voice suddenly interrupted Gu Yuena's words.
"Your Magic Network username (The Tree That Licks) has been confirmed. Enjoy your internet browsing!"
Then all the ferocious beasts, including Gu Yuena, glared at the Demon King, the voice coming from his direction.
The Demon King, bewildered, hurriedly waved his hands and said,
"My lord!"
"I didn't touch this screen, I only touched it with my mental energy, and I didn't choose this username!"
At this moment, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, far away in the Dreamland, was naming each of these ferocious beasts. As the noble GM of the Magic Network server, this kind of clandestine operation was easy for him.
Not only that, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm also limited the internet speed of these ferocious beasts; to use normal speed, they had to pay more mental energy.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had already decided that once the Magic Network game was completed in the future, as long as these ferocious beasts dared to play, he would dare to treat them like Tang San!
Not letting the screen explode in front of them was already Tianmeng's last shred of conscience!
Hearing the Demon King's words, Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts simultaneously touched the screen with their mental energy.
"Identity verification successful. Your Magic Network username (Incompetent Dragon) has been confirmed. Enjoy your internet session."
"Identity verification successful. Your Magic Network username (Cowardly Bear) has been confirmed. Enjoy your internet session." "
Identity verification successful. Your Magic Network username (Dog Who Eats Rice) has been confirmed. Enjoy your internet session."
Soon, Di Tian, Xiong Jun, and the others turned liver-colored. If Gu Yuena hadn't been there, they would have already transformed into their beast forms and started roaring!
Gu Yuena's purple eyes showed confusion because her username hadn't been confirmed yet; she could choose one herself.
Even Bi Ji and Zi Ji, who had recently joined, could choose their own names.
Gu Yuena was quite honest; her Magic Network username was simply "Gu Yue," and her avatar was her own face.
In a sense, she was using her real name online.
Soon, all the ferocious beasts present had chosen their names and avatars.
Of course, Di Tian and the others didn't have this problem; their usernames and avatars had already been thoughtfully prepared by Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
Once the usernames were chosen, the Magic Network officially opened.
An eye icon flashed on the screen before them, and a forum appeared.
Posts refreshed rapidly, thousands scrolling by every second.
Many posts included video recordings; video functionality had long been integrated into the Magic Network by Tianmeng and Electrolux, and even live streaming was available!
Currently, the Magic Network's functions were rather rudimentary: a forum module, a live streaming module, and a chat group module.
Soon, all the ferocious beasts present spontaneously focused their attention on a pinned post on the forum.
The poster's name was "Yege," and their avatar was a pure white cross.
Gu Yuena clicked on the post, and a long string of content appeared before her eyes.
"Title: About the Magic Network."
"Content: Good morning, noon, and evening, everyone! I'm your good friend Yege."
"Please allow me to introduce the Magic Network to you. The Magic Network is a smart network sponsored by Douluo Star and developed by [Name censored], intended to provide everyone in the Douluo Continent with a more efficient communication channel."
"The Magic Network's functions include…"
"Due to limited production capacity, the game module is not yet open. Please be patient." "
Finally, Yege reserves the right to the highest interpretation of the Magic Network. Use it or not, it's up to you."
This post briefly introduced the origin and main functions of the Magic Network. The novelty was making Gu Yuena quite engrossed.
Currently, many people on the Magic Network forum have posted videos, and even a post has seen challenges to fights.
Gu Yuena even saw a soul beast with an address in the Star Dou Great Forest start a live stream.
It was one of the few online videos in the live streaming module, and many people were still observing or exploring the forum module.
Because of the small number of streamers, and the fact that it was a soul beast, the number of viewers reached a staggering 15 million!
Among them were both humans and soul beasts, but mainly humans.
Curious, she clicked in. The live stream was initiated by a 100,000-year-old cave spider. Upon entering, she heard a declaration of war.
"Human-faced Spider King, you're just a (soul beast curse)."
"I know you're watching me!"
"Come to the mixed circle if you dare!"
"Let's have a one-on-one fight!"
Gu Yuena's clear mind was greatly shocked. She had only just awakened and had already encountered the demonic network.
Soon, another soul beast with the address of Star Dou Great Forest started a live stream.
Gu Yuena clicked in again and saw a human-faced spider's ferocious mandibles pointing at the screen.
"(Soul beast curse)!"
"Cave Spider King, I'm in the mixed circle, where are you?!"
"So what if I ate a few of your sons?!"
"Are you missing something?!"
"Don't let me catch you, I'll tear your spider legs off the ground!"
Gu Yuena scratched her head lightly, her purple eyes revealing a clear gaze as she looked at Di Tian beside her.
Di Tian's face alternated between white and black; he was also watching the two soul beasts' live stream.
There were only four live streams in the entire community, two of which were hosted by spirit beasts, both from the Star Dou Great Forest.
Feeling Gu Yuena's gaze, Di Tian respectfully said,
"I'll go and capture them both right now!"
"The Star Dou Great Forest has completely disgraced itself!"
Gu Yuena nodded, and Di Tian directly tore through space to reach the mixed circle.
He intended to personally mediate the conflict between these two spirit beasts using the Myriad Dragon Flames!
After Di Tian disappeared, Gu Yuena casually found a rock beside the Lake of Life.
She gently adjusted her silver dress and sat down, lightly tapping the screen with her jade-like fingers, occasionally revealing a slight smile.
The surrounding ferocious beasts were all studying the forum and the live stream.
