Hearing this statement, Yuanen Yehui's expression clearly showed some disappointment as she gritted her teeth and said, "Even the Pavilion Master can't kill a million-year soul beast?"

If that was the case, wouldn't her own ideas be nothing but a pipe dream?

Xu Sheng glanced at her and nodded, "That's right, besides that point, as of now, there are no longer any million-year soul beasts present on the Soul Land!"

Yuanen Yehui seemed to catch something from his words and frowned, "Teacher Xu, you just mentioned the Continent, does that mean there are some in the ocean?"

Xu Sheng gave a positive answer, "Yes, the soul beasts nurtured in the ocean generally possess strength superior to that of land soul beasts; naturally, there certainly exist million-year soul beasts!"

"However, it's also important to know that even the total area of the three continents occupies only one-seventh of the ocean's area. For an ordinary Soul Master to find a million-year soul beast, it could take more than a lifetime," he added.

These two statements directly made Yuanen Yehui dismiss the idea of looking for a million-year soul beast in the ocean...

But she still can't help feeling somewhat unwilling as she asked, "Then Teacher Xu, how did you obtain your million-year Soul Ring?"

Xu Sheng also paused for a moment before responding, "Ye Hui, have you ever heard of godhood?"

Yuanen Yehui's beautiful eyes lit up, "Yes! Tang San, who was once one of the Shrek Seven Monsters, had obtained godhood and became the Sea God!"

Xu Sheng pursed her thin lips, "Yes, it was because Tang San had sufficiently strong talent and garnered the favor of the Sea God. After completing nine trials, he became the Sea God."

"And his million-year Soul Ring was obtained during the process of completing those trials!"

Is only the tale of Sea God Tang San passed down? It seems my own status as the Creator God really doesn't have any fame!

Yuanen Yehui's tone gradually heated up, "Then do you mean, Teacher Xu, that with my talent, there's a chance for me to ascend to godhood too?"

According to the records at Shrek Academy, Tang San's talent at the same age wasn't much stronger than hers!

Unexpectedly, Xu Sheng unreservedly denied it, "No, there are absolutely no possibilities!"

"This has nothing to do with talent. The Divine Realm and the Lower Realm have been completely separated; those gods can no longer find suitable successors."

Yuanen Yehui bowed her head and murmured, "So, there's no chance after all..."

Her demeanor prompted Xu Sheng to reach out involuntarily and rub her head, "Ye Hui, think about it carefully. If you were to become a god and leave the Lower Realm, what would happen to your family and friends?"

This statement was like knocking on the door to Yuanen Yehui's heart, making her understand completely!

Immediately, she said with a grateful tone, "Teacher Xu, I understand. I will do my best with the matter of the Soul Ring, without chasing after those illusory possibilities."

Rather than becoming a god, she preferred to stay in the Lower Realm because all that she cherished was here!

Xu Sheng then said with relief, "It's good that you understand. Go back now; your companions should be waiting for you!"

"Yes, Teacher Xu, and I will not reveal your possession of godhood, not even in death," she declared.

After saying this, Yuanen Yehui turned around and left...

Watching her departing figure, Xu Sheng silently thought, "This child, it's good that she saw reason. If she were to pursue strength blindly, she might have strayed on to the wrong path!"

But the next second, her expression gradually turned icy, "Besides, those two powers must have been absorbed by someone by now!"

...

Several days earlier, in the federation...

In a research lab...

The scientists all wore extremely troubled expressions, especially the person in charge of this research who was absolutely infuriated!

He bellowed, "Damn it!! Just who was it that stole the Life Force and Destruction Force! Investigate; we must find out!"

After a brief period of inquiry, they finally obtained some clues.

```

Among them, a research staff member pulled up a man's photo and said, "After the theft of the two forces, this guy involved in the research also disappeared without a trace!"

The person in charge scrutinized the photo carefully and narrowed his eyes, "This guy… I remember he proposed to absorb the two forces!"

"Could it be that he stole the Life Force and Destruction Force!"

The rest of the research staff angrily retorted, "Damn it, he was a wolf in sheep's clothing! To think I trusted him so much."

"We must catch this guy and regain control of those two forces for the federation!"

"Exactly! He must not be allowed to get away with this!!"

Seeing this, the previous research staff member cautiously asked, "What should we do now?"

The person in charge took a deep breath, a cold look flashing in his eyes, "Issue a manhunt across Soul Land immediately. We must capture him and return him here. If these two forces are maliciously utilized, they could potentially cause unrest on the continent!"

If only I had known they would be stolen, I should have destroyed these two forces from the beginning!!

...

Somewhere on the continent!

A man was seen with his eyes closed, feeling the surging power within him...

He exclaimed excitedly, "Is this the powerful force after the fusion of Life Force and Destruction Force? Even without cultivating, Soul Power flows out continuously!"

Before he left the federation, his soul power rank was only at the Soul Emperor level!

Yet in less than a month, his soul power rank had grown to the Soul Sage level!

Given sufficient time, he was sure to break through the Titled Douluo and might even reach the Hyper Douluo level!

But just then, a jarring mechanical noise suddenly rang out around him...

Several Mechas descended from the sky, surrounding him in the middle...

"We are the federation's special Mecha Brigade; you have nowhere to escape. Surrender now!"

The man opened his eyes and stood up slowly, letting out a sneer, "Surrender? Ridiculous, you foolish mortals can't begin to comprehend the power I possess!"

With that said, he unleashed his Martial Soul, and around him, a force filled with an evil aura of Destruction Power lingered!

Seeing that he was not willing to surrender, the federation officers tasked with the capture did not say much more and commanded coldly, "Everyone, attack!"

In an instant, several Mechas locked onto him, and a barrage of laser beams shot towards him...

The man hadn't even had time to react before he was riddled with holes, his body perforated with dozens of bloody punctures...

However, one could see the corners of his mouth slightly lifting as a light green Life Force radiated from within him...

The wounds he had just sustained were all healed in a short time as if he had never been attacked!

Witnessing this bizarre power, the pupils of the federation officials tightened, "What? He instantly healed his injuries; is this guy a monster?"

"Damn it, everyone attack together. He is a major criminal wanted by the federation; we can't let him get away!"

"The two forces that were stolen must have been absorbed by him. Don't hold back! Aim for his head!!"
