Di Tian calmed his mind and hesitated. "You... aren't joking?"
To help a soul beast ascend to godhood is hundreds of times harder than for a Soul Master!
Even for the Sovereign above, it might arouse the target of the Higher Realm Gods!!
As for why it knew, actually, it was quite simple!
Countless years ago, when it, the Beast God, nearly reached godhood with its strength, it was ultimately constrained by the Higher Realm Gods, who were unwilling to grant it the godhood!
Facing these doubtful words, Xu Sheng chuckled lightly. "What good would it do me to deceive you?"
Di Tian pursed his dry lips and fell into silence…
Indeed, there was no need for him to deceive him…
After all, even their life and death were in the other's control; deceiving these soul beasts would at most make them feel a bit more pleased!
Seeing this, the other ferocious beasts voiced their opinions, "Di Tian, do not believe him! Although this man is a God, it's uncertain whether he can be trusted!"
"That's right, those Gods, in order to prevent us soul beasts, have cut off the path to godhood. His mere words hold no convincing power!"
"Hmph! Our Sovereign has her own thoughts, she doesn't need the help of outsiders!"
Di Tian's golden pupils swept over the other ferocious beasts deeply, took a deep breath, and said earnestly, "If you truly can help our Sovereign ascend to godhood, all the ferocious beasts present will be at your disposal!"
This was the last bargaining chip that the downtrodden ferocious beasts could offer!
Xu Sheng nodded his head with satisfaction and stood up again from the back of that ferocious beast…
Then, with a thought, the terrifying pressure that permeated the soul beast forest dissipated in an instant…
With the suffocating pressure gone, these ferocious beasts, oppressed to the ground, could finally move their massive bodies…
At this moment, they all had the sensation of having survived on the brink of death, gasping wildly…
Upon seeing this scene, Xu Sheng spoke, "That's more like it. After all, I don't wish for the Soul Beast Clan to just go extinct!"
Di Tian had no idea whether what he said was true or false, and pretended not to hear, changing the subject, "What do we need to do for you to be willing to help our Sovereign ascend to godhood?"
Xu Sheng was taken aback, then said indifferently, "You? I haven't thought of anything yet. Let's talk about it later. As for your so-called 'Sovereign,' she is currently enrolled at East Sea Academy under the name 'Gu Yue.'"
Di Tian's face showed shock upon hearing this, "Gu Yue? That must be the Sovereign's alias. Who would have thought that she went to the Soul Master Academy alone!"
When the Sovereign left, she didn't say where she was going!
If he'd known she was going to a Soul Master Academy, he would have stopped her at all costs!
The other ferocious beasts panicked immediately, their voices anxious, "This can't be. With the Sovereign staying in a human Soul Master Academy, it's certainly very dangerous! We must rescue her!!"
"That's right, once her true identity is discovered, that will be troublesome!"
"The Sovereign is the hope of our Soul Beast Clan; she must not run into trouble! Even if it costs us our lives, we must rescue her!"
Di Tian coldly glanced at them in their chaos, commanded sternly, "Silence!"
Instantly, the anxious beasts all sullenly shut their mouths…
Only then did Di Tian turn his gaze back to Xu Sheng, speaking gravely, "Given that you've spoken such things, our Sovereign must be reasonably safe for now, right?"
Xu Sheng glanced in a certain direction and replied lightly, "Indeed, much safer than being surrounded by ferocious beasts here!"
A puzzled Di Tian asked again, "What do you mean by that?"
What does he mean safer than here? Could it be that the Soul Masters have started to accept soul beasts?
No! Absolutely impossible!
Humans have always been selfish, they would never tolerate soul beasts moving about freely in their territory!
I was just too trusting in that Huo Yuhao's Spirit Soul Strategy, which led to the Soul Beast Clan's downfall to this state!
Xu Sheng stretched and yawned, "Don't be surprised, because I am a teacher at the East Sea Academy, and Gu Yue is my student, although it seems she hasn't guessed my identity!"
After a pause, he chuckled meaningfully, "Alright... those of you lurking in the dark and spying, you must have heard enough by now, right?"
Upon hearing Xu Sheng's words, Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts' pupils suddenly contracted, quickly extending their senses toward the soul beast forest, and indeed, in an instant, they detected the presence of Soul Masters!
They feared that everything that had happened before had been overheard!
At the same time, the Soul Masters hiding not far away, concealing their Soul Power and observing Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts, all felt a shock at the bottom of their hearts when they heard Xu Sheng's voice...
Without any hesitation, they turned around, each bursting out with terrifying Soul Power, wishing to escape from this place...
That was the Soul Beast God Di Tian, and even if the Soul Beast Clan no longer existed, its fame still did!
They were just an advance team, with the highest soul power rank among them being only at the Soul Douluo level!
If caught, a certain death awaited them!!!
Just as these Soul Masters were about to vanish from the range of perception, Di Tian furrowed his brows, full of confusion he turned toward Xu Sheng and said, "Just let them go..."
But before Xu Sheng could reply, the other ferocious beasts suddenly realized that the aura of the fleeing Soul Masters had vanished without a trace!!
Clearly, they hadn't escaped from the soul beast forest, but had all perished!
And without a doubt, there was only one person capable of such a feat!
Thinking of this, they looked at Xu Sheng with eyes filled with intense fear...
How... How terrifying a strength this was! To be able to kill at such a distance, in an instant!
Even Di Tian, who had been speaking halfway, forcibly held back his words...
Is this, the strength of a God?
Completely insurmountable compared to myself who is just a "Demigod"!
Xu Sheng glanced at them casually and said, "Alright, since the matter has been resolved, I'll take my leave now. But I advise you to evacuate the soul beast forest! You should be quite clear about the power of the soul tools these days!"
The Soul Masters now have communication devices, and it's likely that the information of Di Tian and the ferocious beasts residing here has already been sent back...
Once their location is known, the federation side would surely use high-grade soul guidance devices for long-distance strikes if they're not foolish!
Even if Di Tian is powerful, there is only a fate of destruction under the bombardment of high-grade Soul Guidance Devices!
Di Tian slightly lowered his proud head, "Thank you for the reminder, Your Excellency! I will lead the Soul Beast Clan away from here! Please look after our Lord."
With those words, Xu Sheng's entire being once again turned into golden particles and disappeared from the spot...
Only then did Bi Ji approach Di Tian's side and asked, "Di Tian, are we leaving the soul beast forest now?"
Di Tian's golden pupils flickered, "Hmm... We're going to that place!"
If it's there, the safety of the remaining soul beasts can absolutely be ensured!
