Chapter 61: Di Tian's Collapse?

Chapter 61: Di Tian's Collapse?

"Future matters can be left for the future. Di Tian, can you help prepare QianJue's soul ring now?" snow glong finally spoke up.

She had always been unaware that QianJue had been researching this in secret. However, thinking it over, she realized that the divine remnant in his Sea of Spirits likely participated. Xue Linglong was deeply moved. She knew very well that if it were just for the Snow Empress and others, QianJue didn't need to go to such lengths. He could achieve immortality with them after becoming a god.

But Xue Linglong was different. Besides being Qian Jue's partner, she was also the ruler of the Extreme North. Her position there was even higher than Di Tian's in the Star Dou Forest. If the soul beasts of the Extreme North were to go extinct, would Xue Linglong be heartbroken? Yes, she would be deeply saddened.

Xue Linglong was right. QianJue had considered many options for her. He even had several plans in mind. If the half-plane of the undead were suitable for the environment of the Extreme North, QianJue would have transformed it into another Extreme North and taken all the soul beasts there. Just as he had told the Snow Empress before, he had thought about abandoning the Douluo Continent altogether, as it seemed almost beyond saving.

The thought of solving the soul beast problem was too troublesome. That's why he had considered leaving. But then he realized that soul rings were almost locked into the souls of soul beasts. Even in another place, they would still face tribulations. The original story's Ice Bear King, Xiaobai, was forced to undergo a tribulation in the half-plane of the undead. Hence, this more challenging plan emerged.

It wasn't for the soul masters of Douluo Continent. They didn't deserve QianJue's effort. It was mostly for the soul beasts. Helping soul beasts had many benefits. Most of the research on the contract formation was Electrolux's work. QianJue hardly spent any time on it, and it didn't affect his cultivation. At most, he would help Electrolux perfect the contract formation after becoming a god. Completing this formation would build a good relationship with the soul beast race, making future soul ring acquisitions easy without the need to hunt.

High-end combat power-wise, how could human soul masters compare to soul beasts? QianJue's most powerful ally was still Xue Linglong. So, while part of the effort was for Xue Linglong, QianJue also had his own considerations. He wasn't a romantic fool like those on Douluo Continent. He was from a different place, where they never made losing deals. The effort and time spent now would be rewarded with countless ten-thousand-year soul rings and bones, and even high-end fighters like Di Tian as his backers.

Shrek? Just a joke.

"So, what kind of soul ring do you need? I'll see if there are any suitable soul beasts," Di Tian asked QianJue.

Ah, you see, the reward has come. QianJue touched his chin, about to speak, when Bi Ji interrupted.

"Well..." Bi Ji hesitated, her gaze at Qian Jue was shy.

"Hmm?" Qian Jue tilted his head. Why is she blushing like a teapot?

"Do you think I would do? I want to follow you in the future," Bi Ji mustered the courage to say, her beautiful face blushing.

"What?" Di Tian's mentality collapsed. Although he and Bi Ji weren't married yet, he had a great liking for her! Di Tian suddenly felt the once vibrant Lake of Life became desolate and barren. The pain was too much!

"What?" QianJue's mentality also collapsed. She wants to sacrifice herself to me but says she wants to follow me? QianJue's face was full of tears, not from complex feelings but from the intense pain caused by Xue Linglong pinching his waist. Xue Linglong's red lips pouted, her hand not stopping its pinching, her blue eyes narrowed with a hint of killing intent. Her man was being eyed by a green tea girl!

"Well... you want to follow me?" QianJue scratched his cheek awkwardly.

"Yes! If you can help the soul beast race out of their predicament after becoming a god, I am willing to offer my humble strength on your path to godhood," Bi Ji nodded, her elegant swan neck turning slightly red.

Di Tian opened his mouth to speak but found he had nothing to say. His golden eyes lost their luster, exuding a sea-like aura of despair.

"But if you become my soul ring now, wouldn't your strength be wasted? You are an extreme douluo healer, after all. The strongest human healer is only a Super Douluo at level 95," QianJue said, troubled.

"So I said I could follow you first. When you need my soul ring, I will sacrifice myself. Following you, I can also protect you. If anything happens to you, I can save you. For the sake of our soul beast race, you must become a god," Bi Ji said, blinking her crystalline eyes.

Before QianJue could respond, Xue Linglong burst out.

"With me here, does QianJue need your protection?" Xue Linglong glared at Bi Ji.

"Do you have healing abilities? Strength is useless. If QianJue gets injured, can you do anything but watch?" Bi Ji retorted with a light humph.

"You...!" Xue Linglong's face turned red with anger.

"Cough, cough... You two, please don't fight..." QianJue quickly hugged Xue Linglong, gently stroking her back.

Xue Linglong wrapped her arms around QianJue's waist, glaring at Bi Ji again. For some reason, seeing the couple hug made Bi Ji feel a bit jealous.

"Alright, Bi Ji. When I said your sacrifice would be a waste, I didn't mean I didn't need your help. I have integrated a piece of the Life Gold, so I don't need healing," QianJue said, his tone apologetic. "I meant for others. The path to godhood won't be smooth. I might need your help to protect the way. Others might get injured. Just because I don't need healing doesn't mean others won't. With you around, we can avoid many casualties."

"Okay," Bi Ji nodded, looking a bit dejected.

QianJue found it amusing. Big Sister, you are a fifty-six-thousand-year-old fierce beast. Why do you look like a heartbroken schoolgirl?

Planet consciousness: Yes, it's all my doing! Afraid that this kid won't make it to godhood, so I gave him a high-end healer, and he still complains?

The planet's consciousness was almost furious.

Di Tian breathed a sigh of relief, looking at QianJue more favorably, the sea-like aura dissipating considerably.

"Beast God, I need a soul beast with light or dark attributes. If it's an extreme attribute, even below ten thousand years will do," QianJue said to Di Tian.

"Okay, I'll find one for you," Di Tian nodded, the space in front of him twisted into a portal, and he stepped through, disappearing.

"Di Tian's space power is terrifying," QianJue marveled. There aren't many who can surpass Di Tian in space manipulation.
