Douluo Continent: Starting from Leading Ferocious Beasts to Transform into Demons

Chapter 37 Deducing the Image

A blue-gold figure stood above the three-eyed golden lion, holding a trident and preparing to pierce its head. He seemed to be saying something, but it was hard to hear clearly.

The surroundings were shrouded in thick white fog, making it impossible to see what the environment was like.

The three-eyed golden lion suddenly opened its eyes, panting heavily, and breaking out in a cold sweat.

This was the first time it had felt the threat of death, and the trident, gleaming with a cold, icy light, gradually magnified in its eyes.

"What happened to the auspicious beast? What's wrong with it?"

The demons saw the ugly expression on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's face and, not knowing what it had seen, quickly pressed it for an explanation.

"I saw it, I saw a human holding a trident that almost pierced my head."

The three-eyed golden lion felt very wronged; it did nothing, yet humans wanted to kill it.

The demons turned their gazes to Lu Wu, their eyes filled with inquiry. Under normal circumstances, auspicious beasts would never be allowed to approach humans, let alone be attacked by them.

"This is a small test for you. I'm leaving everything to you to solve yourselves. I can't help you so much, and then I'll have to solve everything in the end. Otherwise, all my training would have been for nothing."

Lu Wu remained calm, unconcerned about the demons' doubts.

"However, I have good news for you. I have sealed the connection between the God Realm and Douluo Continent, so it is impossible for any god to descend in his true form."

"We will obey Master Lu's orders. We would never be lazy and idle. Master Lu's actions have already made us feel ashamed."

Gu Yuena spoke, her face still flushed slightly.

During this period, many soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest that are close to 100,000 years old have successfully advanced to the level of Beast King, and all of the Beast Kings have successfully condensed their demon cores.

The power of the Star Dou Great Forest has reached its peak since the Dragon God Era.

"You can continue your discussion. I'll cover for you, but you'll lose all value in my eyes."

Lu Wu wore a gentle smile, but all the demons knew that this man was a man of his word, and if the soul beast race lost its value, its fate would likely be...

"We will definitely work hard."

The demons replied earnestly, and the atmosphere became solemn.

"Then I'll be going now."

Lu Wu plans to continue exploring the consciousness of other planes; this guy is getting better and better at it.

Lu Wu's figure disappeared before the eyes of the demons, and the almost frozen atmosphere finally relaxed.

"I'm so nervous, I'm afraid Professor Lu will be angry."

"Me too, I always feel like I subconsciously lower my voice when I speak."

The voices of the demons began to rise from the open space.

"Alright, now let's discuss what exactly happened."

Gu Yuena interrupted the demons' discussion, saying that they had to do everything in their power to ensure that Lu Wu would continue to value the Soul Beast race.

"In my memory, the first sea god from tens of thousands of years ago and Tang San from ten thousand years ago both used tridents as their weapons."

The other demons used to be homebodies, but Di Tian would occasionally wander around the entire Douluo Star when he was bored, and he would also travel around the human world, so he had the deepest understanding of humans.

"The first Sea God has already passed on his divine position and the divine artifact to Tang San, so he must be the one who attacked the auspicious beast."

"Moreover, ten thousand years ago, the Asura God and the Sea God created something called a dual-god co-existence, so Tang San should still have the Asura God position."

With Di Tian's explanation, the demons now knew who had attacked the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. The next question was why they had attacked the auspicious beast.

Gu Yuena and Di Tian exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing, and they had a guess in their hearts.

"According to the array formations I practice, the array's core must be a suitable one, or even one that can be changed at any time, otherwise it may be broken at any time."

Gu Yuena waved her dragon claw, and an image of the Starry Sky Forest appeared before the demons, materialized from her memories.

In the image, there are numerous beams of light scattered like stars, seemingly random but actually containing some kind of rule. At the very center is a bright golden beam of light that is distinctly different from the others, and it is constantly moving, with the rules of its movement being quite puzzling.

"My initial idea was to have the auspicious beast control the array's core, since it usually stays by Master Lu's side, making it the safest option and virtually impossible to break."

"But if Master Lu wanted to test us, he probably already anticipated this scenario and told us to figure out how to deal with it ourselves."

Gu Yuena smiled bitterly. She had hoped to use Lu Wu's power to protect the Star Dou Great Forest to the greatest extent possible, but it seemed that he had known all along and had chosen to leave.

The three-eyed golden lion was completely bewildered. It had no idea that it was supposed to control the array's core, no wonder a god was inexplicably targeting it.

"But how did that bastard Tang San appear? Didn't Master Lu say that gods can't descend to the mortal realm in their true forms?"

Xiong Jun discovered the key point: Lu Shi couldn't possibly have lied to them, but where did Tang San get that thing?

"Master Lu was referring to the true form..."

The Demon King said thoughtfully.

"The real body?"

All the demons realized that when Tang San first became a god, he and his companions traveled all over the world searching for a place to inherit the divine position. They had practically traveled all over the continent, so it was possible that he left some of his divine power and consciousness on the continent. However, normal gods would never do such a thing.

Tang San focused on observing the Star Dou Great Forest, as it was the place with the most abundant life force in the Douluo Continent, and he investigated it several times.

If it weren't for the fact that Tang San had just become a god and his fusion with his divine position was still relatively low, and his strength was only that of a divine official, he probably would have discovered them long ago and killed them as evil soul beasts.

"As a god, Tang San will definitely lead humanity to attack the Star Dou Great Forest after he learns of the commotion caused by Lu Shi. This is no different from what we had previously considered, except that there is an extra half-crippled Tang San."

Di Tian added that this was also meant to encourage everyone not to be afraid of the gods.

"The formation is the key to our ability to deal with so many humans and Tang San at the same time, and the core of the formation is of utmost importance."

"If the formation is broken, we won't lose, but the soul beasts below will suffer heavy losses."

Most demons don't care. The Star Dou Great Forest is a place where the strong prey on the weak, and they don't care about the lives of other races.

"Moreover, Master Lu will definitely be very disappointed in us. After all, we made such a commotion just now so that the demon race could grow stronger as soon as possible, but we ended up defeating the entire area in one battle. Master Lu probably won't have a very good opinion of us."

Gu Yuena spoke, and the demons immediately sat up straight, their faces serious.

"We must thoroughly implement Master Lu's wishes and protect the weaker members of the Soul Beast race."

Xiong Jun patted his chest and assured him.

"As the pillar of the soul beast clan, I firmly oppose Tang San's actions and will never allow him to destroy the array's core and harm the auspicious beast."

The Crimson King's three heads nodded firmly at the same time, their expressions suggesting that even if they had to sacrifice themselves in the next second, they would protect the auspicious beast from the attack in this very moment.

"But the problem is, we can't leave the auspicious beast alone in a dangerous situation. How can we leave it without a demon protecting it?"

Brigitte raised a new question.
