Brigitte's tone turned cold.
"Di Tian, what did you promise me back then?"
"Is this what you meant by 'it won't kill it'?"
Di Tian's voice was silent for a moment before it slowly rang out.
"I have my own considerations."
"Considerations? Your considerations are about breaking our agreement and disregarding the lives of other compatriots?"
"If it weren't for that, our strength wouldn't have improved so quickly." Di Tian's voice remained calm, but it carried an undeniable domineering air. "Moreover, if you and the auspicious beast hadn't left the forest, and we hadn't been worried about the auspicious beast's safety, you should understand that for the future of the soul beast race, some sacrifices are inevitable."
"Sacrifice?" Brigitte laughed angrily. "That sounds nice, but I think you're willing to do anything to resurrect your dragon god!"
"presumptuous!!!"
Di Tian's voice suddenly boomed, carrying a terrifying pressure.
The surrounding lake water trembled.
The half-asleep, half-awake Xiong Jun and other ferocious beasts all stirred uneasily under this oppressive aura.
Di Tian's voice rang out again.
This time, it carried undisguised anger and warning.
"Bridget! Watch your words!"
"Everything I've done is for the rise of the Soul Beasts! As a Soul Beast, shouldn't you support me?"
"Or has spending too much time with that human kid made you forget your own principles?!"
It's always like this.
It's that same arrogant attitude again.
Brigitte's heart sank completely.
She had originally thought that after so many years, he would have changed.
In that case, Biji wanted to ask Ditian for some Life Gold to give to her precious disciple to help him cultivate.
If possible, we could bring him to the center of the Lake of Life to cultivate, and even have him replicate the entire Lake of Life.
In the end, however, Di Tian remained the same autocratic and rule-abiding Di Tian.
Brigitte took a deep breath: "I'll only ask you one question."
"What?"
"We soul beasts cannot break through a million years of cultivation to achieve the position of god. Was this rule really set by the gods on the human side?"
After he finished speaking, the air fell silent.
Di Tian did not answer immediately.
Those golden eyes, which had been tightly closed, opened slightly, revealing a flicker of emotion.
He countered, "Why would you ask that?"
Upon hearing this, Brigitte felt a pang of bitterness in her heart, and there was nothing more to say.
This answer is the answer in itself.
Brigitte slowly shook her head, no longer looking at him.
She turned around and sat cross-legged on an open space some distance from Di Tian, with her back to the beasts.
"Prepare to undergo your tribulation."
"Qiu'er and I will protect you."
After saying that, she closed her eyes and didn't say another word, as if everything around her was irrelevant to her.
As Di Tian watched her resolute back, a sense of confusion and irritation rose within him.
Qiu'er?
Who is Qiu'er?
Is it a name given to a mythical beast in the human world?
That said, what exactly happened to Brigitte?
I feel like something about her has changed, but at the same time, it seems like nothing has changed.
It was still as gentle as ever, yet it had gained an extra layer of icy hardness.
Di Tian muttered to himself.
The rule that soul beasts cannot become gods was personally established by the Dragon God, not by human deities.
But so what? What does that prove?
Human beings are still despicable and vile, still parasites.
Greedy, cunning, cruel.
They indiscriminately hunt soul beasts, strip them of their soul rings and soul bones, and treat soul beasts as tools to enhance their strength.
This despicable race has no reason to exist.
Only by resurrecting the Dragon God and restoring the glory of the dragon race can they rule over everything.
At that time, he will lead all the soul beasts to raze human cities to the ground.
From now on, this planet will be ruled by soul beasts!
What's wrong with that?
Di Tian tried calling out twice more, but Bi Ji kept her eyes closed and did not respond.
He was helpless.
A feeling of frustration welled up inside me.
How could the mighty Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, the ruler of all soul beasts, be so disregarded by a mere jade swan?
But now, she still needs to protect herself and Xiong Jun.
Di Tian could only swallow his anger and did not lash out on the spot.
What kind of bewitching potion did that human boy named Dongfang Jing give Brigitte to make her so unable to distinguish right from wrong?
That's all.
Once we survive this great calamity, our strength will increase even further.
We'll correct her misconceptions gradually later.
Immediately afterwards, Di Tian's attention shifted to the woman next to Bi Ji.
She had long, wavy, blue-pink hair, a slender figure, and stunning beauty.
He knew that the other party was the Imperial Beast, whom he regarded as his adopted daughter.
But she wasted her once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to transform into human form.
Just to accompany that human boy named Dongfang Jing into the so-called human world?
A very ominous feeling suddenly arose in Di Tian's heart.
Rui Shou... she probably won't fall for that kid, right?
Thinking of this, Di Tian's voice became deep.
"As an imperial auspicious beast, you carry the fortune of my Star Dou Great Forest, which is of great importance."
"Now that you're back, stay here and cultivate diligently. Don't run around anymore."
These words, which sounded like a command, made Wang Qiu'er clench her fists, and a deep displeasure flashed in her eyes.
She was just about to speak in rebuttal.
But a thought suddenly popped into my mind.
If it were Yao'er, what would she do?
Yao'er definitely won't confront them head-on.
Thinking of this, Wang Qiu'er took a deep breath and suppressed all her emotions.
She didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly in Di Tian's direction.
Then, following Brigitte's example, he sat down to the side and closed his eyes to rest.
Upon seeing this, Di Tian was completely stunned.
What's wrong with them?
Both of them are so strange.
Although he was filled with doubts, seeing that the two of them had entered a meditative state, he did not say anything more.
The most urgent task is to focus on the impending calamity.
Everything else can be settled slowly after the tribulation is over.
Di Tian slowly calmed his mind and began to mobilize the soul power within his body.
He could wait, but the insects couldn't.
"Hey! Lord Auspicious Beast!"
The anxious voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm echoed in Wang Qiu'er's mind again.
"You can't just stand by and watch me die! If this keeps up, I'm going to be drained dry!"
Wang Qiu'er was annoyed by his noise.
She responded inwardly, somewhat annoyed.
"We're not related to you, so why should we save you? What benefit would we get?"
Upon hearing this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm became anxious.
"Lord Auspicious Beast! Emperor Tian is not at his peak right now, so he hasn't noticed the changes in you at all!"
"But I'm different!"
Tianmeng Bingcan's voice carried a hint of smugness and seduction.
"I can clearly sense that you and Brigitte have both improved considerably!"
"Especially you!"
"Your essence has evolved; you are no longer the Three-Eyed Golden Lion! Am I right?"
