Hu Liena and the others couldn't understand why their teammate Na'er had suddenly changed. Even the powerful Di Tian treated her with such respect. They looked at Qian Renyue in confusion, only to see her gently shake her head.
They then turned their attention back to the center, the reason for Na'er's rampage.
In the center stood three monstrous figures, no longer strictly human, but also not quite soul beasts.
All four limbs had been severed and replaced with those of soul beasts. The legs were those of a Gale Leopard, the left hand a Wolverine's left claw, and the right hand a Wolverine Bear's right paw. The tailbone had been ripped out and replaced with a Shadow Scorpion's tail. One eye had been replaced with a Lightning Falcon's eye, and the other eye had been gouged out but hadn't been replaced yet. The entire figure was neither human nor ghost.
Most chillingly, this person was still alive. His mouth uttered only painful murmurs, the words "Kill me, kill me" repeatedly uttered. This showed the immense suffering he endured.
The people on either side of him were in the same state, though fewer had been replaced, and they were already dead. Qian Renyue summoned the Dragon's Roar Divine Sword, slashing it at the man in the center, whispering, "Sorry we're late. We will avenge you. Rest in peace." The man, in his dying moments, finally revealed a relieved smile.
Besides the three test subjects in the center, there were countless human and soul beast organs, limbs, and remains around them. The soul beast remains were even more numerous, including rare soul beasts like sub-dragons and phoenixes. This was why He Na'er went berserk upon seeing them.
Unbeknownst to them, humans were capturing their own kind for such inhumane experiments—it wasn't just about obtaining soul rings and soul bones; it was outright torture. The cries of the soul beasts echoed, yet they, as the sovereigns of soul beasts, as the Beast Gods, were completely unaware of this. If they didn't know the details of the incident and the culprit, they would have already launched a beast tide to attack humanity in retaliation.
In response, Qian Renyue thought of someone who might be cooperating with the Holy Spirit Cult: the Evil Emperor, ranked second among the ferocious beasts. According to *Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect*, the Evil Emperor had a very good relationship with the Holy Spirit Cult and was an important partner. He was also the guardian of the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters in the Demon Forest.
"Yue'er, Di Tian and I might have to leave for a while. We were completely unaware of such a big event; we suspect there's a problem within the Soul Beasts. We must go back and investigate this thoroughly. Na'er will continue to participate in the assessment with you, which will also help us understand the Holy Spirit Cult's movements and facilitate our cooperation. However, Di Tian won't be able to protect Na'er and you anymore. Be careful in everything," Gu Yue Na said to Qian Renyue, then continued after thinking for a moment, "Since we're teammates, you should tell everyone about our situation. However, Gu Yue Na won't be able to get to know everyone until later."
"I understand." Qian Renyue nodded, then looked at Gu Yuena and Di Tian, who were about to leave, and finally voiced her thoughts, "Gu Yue, do you have any suspects among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts?"
Di Tian answered first, "Impossible, how could the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts do such a thing?"
Qian Renyue looked at Di Tian and asked seriously, "Is it really impossible? Di Tian is a Beast God, who else in this world could deceive even you besides the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts? I suspect the Evil Emperor. You might as well go and investigate the Demon Forest. The far north and the deep sea are not suitable for human survival. The only places where cooperation with humans is convenient are the Demon Forest and the Star Dou Great Forest."
Seeing Qian Renyue's serious expression, Gu Yuena also replied seriously, "I understand your suggestion, but we can't just suspect the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts. The Soul Beasts are not as simple as they seem. Don't worry, we will definitely investigate the Demon Forest."
After saying that, Gu Yuena and Di Tian disappeared from everyone's sight.
Gudu Yan patted her chest and said, "My God, those two are so intimidating. I feel like I can't breathe."
"Me too, me too. I just threw up, and I'm hiding behind Brother Xie Yue, too scared to come over. Di Tian is much scarier than before," Ning Rongrong quickly added.
"Your Highness, who are Na'er and them?" Xie Yue asked. He had heard Gu Yue Na say that he could tell them, so Xie Yue asked.
"Di Tian, you've seen him often before. He's not human, he's the leader of the Soul Beasts, the Beast God Di Tian, a golden-eyed black dragon king with a lifespan of 890,000 years. He's the purest-blooded dragon besides the Dragon God and the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King who split from the Dragon God. The Dragon God bestowed upon him the Divine Dragon Claw, which gave him the power of a demigod. I think even my grandfather wouldn't be his match," Qian Renyue explained to everyone.
"Eight hundred and ninety thousand years! My god, what a powerful soul beast that must be!"
"The purest bloodline of the dragon race, no wonder the scale Na'er gave me last time made me completely immune to the pressure of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. Could the scale Na'er gave you be Lord Di Tian's?" Dugu Yan asked.
"No, Di Tian is the Black Dragon King, of the dark attribute. His scales are all black. What Na'er gave you was her own scale," Qian Renyue explained.
"Na'er's own?" Dugu Yan looked stunned.
"Yes, it's Na'er's own. Na'er is actually just an avatar of Gu Yuena. She is Gu Yuena's softer, kinder, and more human side. Gu Yuena's true form is the Silver Dragon King, the ruler of all soul beasts. Because the Dragon God was too powerful and feared by the gods, the conflict eventually erupted, and the Dragon God was defeated by the combined forces of the gods. In the end, the Dragon God was slashed into the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King by the Asura God. The Silver Dragon King, who is Gu Yuena, went to the Soul Beast Forest to recuperate. The Golden Dragon King was sealed in the God Realm."
"Great Angel God, great God of Destruction, can I one day be a teammate of the ruler of all soul beasts?" Yan exclaimed excitedly.
"Why is Your Highness like this?" Hu Liena asked with some concern.
"Because humans need to hunt spirit beasts to obtain spirit rings. However, it takes a few years, at most several decades, for a spirit master to advance to level 10, but the spirit rings they need require a spirit beast to grow for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years. Ten thousand years later, humans will have fewer and fewer choices, and spirit beasts will face survival issues and eventually wage war against humans. At that time, it will not be the spirit masters who hunt spirit beasts who suffer, but even ordinary people who have never seen a spirit beast. I promised Gu Yuena that I would find a way to resolve this conflict."
"Your Highness, you are too impulsive. How can you possibly resolve the conflict of humans needing spirit rings! What if!" Xie Yue frowned and said to Qian Renyue.
Seeing the worried expressions on everyone's faces, Qian Renyue reached out and slowly merged a little bit of life force and destructive force together: "This is the power of creation, and also the solution to the soul ring problem. However, I haven't passed the seventh trial yet, so I haven't mastered much and can't create the energy needed for a soul ring."
"Truly worthy of being called the Little Princess! Amazing! If we can really resolve the conflict between soul beasts and humans, humans will no longer need to risk their lives to obtain soul rings. Then, what will the two great empires use to stop our Martial Soul Empire!" Yan exclaimed.
"We haven't passed the fourth trial yet, so it's too early to talk about these things. Let's focus on the evil soul master in front of us. As for Na'er's matter, I hope everyone can treat it with the same calm attitude as before. Na'er is Na'er, and Gu Yue Na is Gu Yue Na. Don't put too much pressure on yourselves," Qian Renyue instructed everyone.
"Don't worry, sister. We know what we're doing," Ning Rongrong said.
