Changing Tides

In a void that where reality didn't exist. A person was floating in it with his eyes closed.

"The time is here."

Fan Lin slowly opened his eyes and when he sensed the segregation of all the soul beasts and the godly aura of the gods in the Douluo plane in one place.

In the whole universe, he had the most accurate senses regarding the divine aura.

He slowly looked at the incomplete Divine Realm infusion that required the last part of his Godseat and his existence.

Fan Lin could have completed the whole thing altogether but he would have perished at that moment as well.

So in the past months, he had been biding his time while waiting for the most opportune moment.

He had found a small way to stay alive for a few minutes after his Godseat infusion and he wanted to use that time to transmigrate the soul beasts into his Divine Realm at that time.

But there were some problems in this plan. The time that he would gain would not be even ten minutes and in that time, he had to spread his message to all the soul beasts and then use his remaining energy and strength to keep the portal to his Divine Realm open.

Normally it would have been an easy task for him but he can't use his soul skills and after stripping his Godseat, his strength would dip around a percentage of what it was.

So it was going to be tough to spread his message to all the soul beasts and keep the portal open.

Secondly, he has an inkling that the Planar Ruler and the Energy source would definitely interfere in his plan.

Lastly, the moment he entered the Douluo world in his weak form, his past enemies and 'just' people were definitely going to take advantage of it.

So after some thinking, he decided to use the end of the story as the final foothold in his plan.

He had sensed the weakened Planar Ruler and the Energy source couldn't do much to his Psuedo God status for the meantime.

"I could ignore her fr at least 15 minutes, which is a lot more that I would stay alive."

"The end of the story would centre those two and I can use it to my advantage. Wulin is a kind person and Gu Yuena's weakness, I can bide some of Gu Yuena's attention from me by taunting him."

"Considering his nature, he will definitely waste a few minutes to talk, that much should be enough. I just need to get both of their attention as no one else would do anything till the two of them don't show any signs of fighting. Personal Charisma is a part of strategy as well. Doesn't matter if it's someone's else's, till the time I can get what I want it's all fair."

"I just need to get all those soul beasts who want to live here and then use the last of my strength to teleport them in the realm."

"After that nothing would matter. I would be dead, the soul beasts would be in the Divine Realm and no one in the Douluo plane could do anything."

This is what he planned as he waited for the perfect opportunity.

Now was the time.

He completely tore the final part of his Godseat to infuse it into the Divine Realm and now the perfect realm was ready.

But that wasn't the case for his body.

The moment he was stripped clean of his Godseat, he got the backlash and most of his body was internally destroyed.

He immediately left for the Douluo plane while ignoring the blood as he didn't have much time.

'It kinda reminds me of the time when I used to train for my life in the beginning."

It had been long time since he had been in the world and he had gotten used to his power and abilities, completely forgetting that it wasn't his to begin with.

But in some parts of his mind, he did knew that the Punishment God wouldn't let him have the last win so easily.

For Fan Lin, losing his skills mattered a lot as it had become a part of him but to Surya Jayvardhan or better known as Gloomy Forest, it never mattered.

He was a poison user and he had already died once and dying again didn't matter. He had no one left. His partners were most likely dead.

His colleagues in the END were like him but he just wanted to die now. He had gotten tired of all and he didn't think he could face them again.

And this time, Gloomy Forest took the decision, to end his self while completing his dream as Fan Lin.

Because it didn't matter, Fan Lin had nothing to his self and nothing to lose. Gloomy forest had lost everything and Surya Jayvardhan should have died a long time ago.

Now he was just completing the wish of all his alias.

"It feels great to be successful though."

Fan Lin thought as the familiar Spirit Pagoda Headquarters got into his sight.

...

Spirit Pagoda Headquarters.

It has been three minutes since Fan Lin had appeared.

He had finally succeeded in getting a single soul beast to enter his Divine Realm but Gue Yuena had stopped the soul beast.

"Now what happened Yuena?"

Fan Lin tiredly asked. He was dead tired and on the verge of blowing up, mentally that is.

Around three minutes have passed and his time was tricking a like sand. He can feel the drain of his body and roughly a 2/5 of his time left had ended.

"Taking the soul beasts away from humanity could potentially kill them?"

Gu Yuena said.

[That's her actual line in the original Legend of the Dragon king. Don't say I changing her persona to fit my devices]

"Soul beasts had existed before the humans had. Why can't they do it now? I don't see a single thing that they could gain from humanity except humiliation, enslavement and death."

Fan Lin slowly replied.

"Humans are a part of the ecosystem and natural balance, if you take away the soul beasts, humans will perish as well as soul beasts?

This time Tang Wulin said. [Also Gu Yuena's line in the last parts and Tang Wulin's line in the middle of the story]

"I don't care about the humans though. I said I am here to take any soul beasts that wants to leave this world. Why are you stopping me? Time and time again." [Fan Lin]

Fan Lin slowly replied. He was getting impatient.

"Who are you to take away the soul beasts? Didn't I say that humans will die by it?"

Tang Wulin looked at Fan Lin and then at the surroundings forces. He knew what most of them were planning on doing.

*Sigh*

"Haaa-h, Yuena, you are the current leader of the soul beasts right? Then tell me one simple thing, why should the life and death of the humans should matter to me?"

"I have never seen the humans changing their ways to improve or change the life of animals or soul beasts. Why do they expect me to do so?"

"Why does everything in the world has to revolve around the humans and their survival. He said the same thing and left. I did the same thing and left and what happened. Nothing changed."

"Humans aren't trustworthy. I know that since I am one. A untrustworthy person that is. But this is the one thing that I can bet my life on..."

"So stop using his spacial elements to restrict the soul beasts from moving."

Fan Lin said to Gu Yuena while ignoring Tang Wulin. She was the one who stopped the soul beasts that were going to his Divine Realm and she had a reason to use her strength as well.

It was because the lower soul beasts, literally most of them couldn't resist the temptations of the Divine Realm anymore.

They were the lower levels of the soul beasts world and there wasn't much that they would lose even if everything turned out to be a trap.

They had seen their kind get slaughtered quite a lot and they knew of their fate. So those naively foolish ten thousand year old soul beasts were gradually moving towards Fan Lin until she stopped them.

Seeing the situation, Tang Wulin used his Golden Dragon roar to suppress the situation.

"Do you not understand that taking the soul beasts will greatly weaken the vitality of the Douluo plane and also affect the human on a large scale, possibly death? Haven't I said it many times already."

Tang Wulin said in anger. Normally he would have been a little calmer but knowing what Fan Lin did and the fact that he blatantly ignored the survival of the humans, alongside the fact that he just butted in his conversion with Gu Yuena were some of the reasons for his anger.

"And didn't I say I don't care if humans live or die, us they won't die. They just need to stop wasting so much resources on the soul Masters, invent some devices to tap into the renewable energy like sun and wind and finally, they just need to change their lifestyle, cause less pollution and control their population."

"They can't even do that?"

Fan Lin calmly replied. He was surprised by the actions of Tang Wulin but time changed everyone and it didn't matter.

"It's not about that. You want to blatantly take a vital part of nature due to your own reasoning and trying to label it as right, that isn't something that I will watch."

Tang Wulin said.

"That's stupid. Look, this is the last time that I say. Humans have been nothing but a problem to the soul beasts. Soul beasts should have the right to choose what they want. Despite the long 10000 years that humans had, they never die anything to change this situation."

"I am here to give them that right."

"And humans won't die or perish due to the lack of soul beasts. Just soul Masters will, not humans, not the complete human population."

"I am not forcing any of the soul beasts to come with and neither I said that. I said whoever wants to come, can come. Who are you to stop them?"

"And don't waste my time if you don't have any logical or relative answer to my problem."

The calmness of Fan Lin slowly started to crumble.

"But humans don't need to harm soul beasts. I have already created and given the technique to create artificial spirit souls to the Spirit Pagoda."

"I have also secured a way so that even if all the soul beasts were to wipe out, there genes will revive a new generation of them.

"Now there is no need for the humans to hurt soul beasts and we can finally be at peace."

[This is a small summary and she did say that. Read the last 7 chapters. This was in the 7 or 6 one. Where the tilte repeats.]

[If you want to know fully well what she had prepared, just read it, although it didn't make that much sense to me and you will understand why yourself.]

Fan Lin looked at her and then slowly replied after a few seconds.

"You meant that just because you have created a way to get better artificial souls without harming the soul beasts would mean humans would do nothing to them? And even if they did, their genes are perfectly secure so that they can be born again and face the same thing again."

"You think the main reason for the death of soul beasts is the fact that they are killed for their spirit rings and it's counterparts."

*Chuckles*

Fan Lin chuckled a little and then began to laugh maniacly.

"That's the most stupid thing that I have heard till now." He continued.

"You think that the Spirit rings is the only reason why soul beasts are slaughtered. Then what about the food that is served in the Soul Master academies, the various spiritual stuff that you buy at the auction houses, the soul power conductive clothes, the heads and the mats at the houses of the rich, the bone ornaments and how can I forget about the spirit bones and those various herbs and stuff like clothes and leather and housing space, and much... much... more. Where did you think they came from?"

"Your imagination? Or was it something stupid like the love of humans and humanity and all those crap that the world has fed you."

"Weren't you nearly kidnapped and sold as a slave the moment you turned into a human and met him?"

"What about the time when students were sent to the star dou to get a better hunt just so that they can gain some more points and be a little higher in a ranking in some paper?"

"Killing innocents in their homes just to get some non extensial points."

"Haah, why am I even wasting my time Ona delusional woman like you begin with?"

"Fan Lin!" [Tang Wulin]

"I should have just went with how I usually did things. I should have just crushed any form of resistance in the way and hanged their head as a warning to others."

Fan Lin said while his voice turned icy.

"I knew it. Trying to talk to you is just wasting time. I was being polite to you all along after learning about your goals from him(Yun Ming) but I had enough of it."

Tang Wulin looked at Fan Lin in the sky. He had been listening to Fan Lin since the beginning and his disrespect for Gu Yuena, aside, just the fact that he is hellbent on proving that humans are bad was something that made him angry.

"I am not going to let you take the soul beasts away. If you have the strength, take them."

Fan Lin looked at changing situation in front of him and the stance of the surroundings forces.

"I would have likely destroyed that confidence of yours but my priority are bigger than your life. All of your life."

Fan Lin's voice changed to his calm emotionless tone as 8 translucent rings rose from behind him.

Except there were no spirit souls making the surroundings confused. It was at this time a sudden question came to their mind : Why was he like that?

The rings has lost their colours, his body was devoid of his physique and his soul had less than a percent of his spiritual strength.

Fan didn't know how a simple situation of taking the soul beasts to his Divine Realm had changed into a mass conflict.

... Maybe he knew but he can revert time now. He guessed the amount of time he had left.

96 seconds till disintegration.

This was the most accurate results that he could guess. It could be wrong as well and he might die in less than a ten seconds.

But now the time for all that had passed.

'I just need to get her to stop her control over the soul beasts.'

"I have to...'

And with that final day started.

.....

The second last chapter.

One last chapter and Epilogue remains.

I will proofread it late at some other time. Sorry but really busy.
