Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 147 The Radical Silver Dragon King

Although the Silver Dragon King still bears the marks of the Asura Divine Sword.

After all, the previous generation of Asura God, after gathering the power of the other four God Kings and adding the super artifact, unleashed a sword strike that caused extremely severe damage to the Dragon God.

This sword strike was a culmination of the accumulated power of the five great god-kings over many years, as the dragon god, as the supreme god-king, possessed considerable combat strength.

Because of this sword strike, the Dragon God was forced to split into two bodies, and the Golden Dragon King, having inherited the Dragon God's physique, was thus able to withstand the aftershocks of the combined attack of the five great god-kings.

However, the Silver Dragon King, as the half-body who inherited the power to control the Dragon God's elements, was not so lucky. She was severely injured by the aftershocks of this attack shortly after her birth.

If it weren't for the fact that the Golden Dragon King inherited the violent part of the Dragon God's emotions and went berserk, holding back the other five God Kings...

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Silver Dragon King used his elemental control abilities to break through the battlefield space and escape, concealing his whereabouts. He would probably have died on the spot.

Despite this, in order to avoid being discovered by the God Realm after the war, they still remain on Douluo Star.

Over the years, the Silver Dragon King has been able to rely on the most inefficient recovery methods to heal his injuries.

That is to use the long period of time and the accumulation of life energy to wear down the injuries caused by the aftershocks of the Asura Divine Sword through a period of slumber.

After all, this method is the least likely to expose their tracks, but nowadays the God Realm's control over Douluo Star has greatly diminished.

If we miss this opportunity, and the God Realm regains control of Douluo Star, then who knows when the next such good opportunity will come again.

After all, although the Silver Dragon King's physique was far inferior to that of the Golden Dragon King, the original body, as a god-king level being, was far from being so fragile after surviving the first wave.

In reality, the Silver Dragon King is currently able to move freely, but he has been afraid to show his face, lest he attract the madness of the divine realm.

However, relying solely on the least efficient form of sleep to recover from injuries is certainly far less efficient than a full-force recovery.

However, since he was still under the supervision of the divine realm, the Silver Dragon King could not cause too much of a commotion in order to recover from his injuries.

The situation is completely different now, after all, the territory of the Star Dou Great Forest has been shrinking due to human invasion over the years.

The rate at which the Lake of Life produces life force has also decreased. However, the current actions of Emperor Tian, ​​coupled with the friction and turmoil among the nations of the human world, have contributed to this.

The Star Dou Great Forest is also taking this opportunity to accumulate strength and prepare for expansion again.

After all, the existence of the living gold requires a large amount of natural energy and life force to take shape.

As for the Silver Dragon King, the reason she hadn't directly absorbed the Gold of Life to heal her injuries before was...

Instead, it uses the life-giving metal to generate a continuous source of vitality to nourish itself while it is in a dormant state.

The main reason is that the creation of the Life Gold takes a long time, and each piece used is one less available.

Furthermore, consuming too much life gold in a short period of time will also cause irreparable damage to the Star Dou Great Forest.

A single hair can affect the whole body; once these effects are observed by the central authority of the divine realm, they will undoubtedly expose the existence of the Silver Dragon King.

However, now that the God Realm's control over Douluo Star has weakened, what the Star Dou Great Forest needs to do is expand its territory as much as possible.

Ideally, the entire Douluo Continent should be incorporated into the Star Dou Great Forest's territory, and in this way, the Silver Dragon King could rely on the existing life-gold as a foundation.

Through these living metals, one can condense as much of the continent's natural essence as possible into life energy, thereby healing one's own injuries.

If the life force of the entire Douluo Continent could be condensed without worrying about concealing the traces, then the Silver Dragon King's injuries would be healed rapidly in a short time.

After all, for the Silver Dragon King, her injuries had been worn away over a long period of time. Although they still looked terrifying, they were only superficial.

In fact, even if you do nothing, you only need to rest for a long time to recover.

After listening to the Silver Dragon King's explanation and considering her own understanding of the Star Dou Great Forest, Di Ruier understood what the other party wanted to do.

The reason why the Star Dou Great Forest has always tolerated the harm caused by Soul Masters over the years is that its biggest purpose is naturally to avoid exposing the existence of the Silver Dragon King to the eyes of the God Realm.

However, now that it has been confirmed that the God Realm is temporarily unable to control Douluo Star, the accumulated strength of the soul beasts and those powerful ferocious beasts can naturally demonstrate their existence.

The true strength of the Star Dou Great Forest is far more complex than human soul masters imagine, and the previous so-called beast tides were by no means the full extent of the Star Dou Great Forest's power.

The existence of Di Tian is like a dimensional reduction attack on the current human world.

An ordinary Limit Douluo simply couldn't withstand Di Tian's attack, which was unleashed at full power with the Dragon God Claw.

Once the Silver Dragon King decides to unleash the full power of the Star Dou Great Forest and launch a war between soul beasts and humans...

Then, the ferocious beasts and hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts that have been oppressed by humans in other regions for tens of thousands of years will probably respond one after another.

As the supreme ruler of all soul beasts, the Silver Dragon King's call to action would be considered even by ferocious beasts like the Evil Emperor, Snow Emperor, and Ice Emperor, who were not part of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Although the Evil Emperor did not originally belong to the Douluo Continent, as a soul beast of Douluo Star, his birth was naturally closely related to the Dragon God.

After all, although the Evil Eye Clan is special, they can still be transformed into Soul Rings and Soul Bones. Perhaps their original origins are no longer verifiable.

However, on Douluo Star nowadays, their affiliation is undoubtedly classified as that of soul beasts, and they are all coveted by human soul masters.

If the soul beasts successfully overthrow the current rule of humans, it will naturally bring them many benefits, and the Evil Eye Clan will certainly not choose to remain neutral.

Moreover, besides the Silver Dragon King, the Star Dou Great Forest also has the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the emperor of soul beasts, as its leader.

The existence of the Emperor Beast is a true manifestation of the fortune of the Soul Beast race. Any Soul Beast or Ferocious Beast must show respect upon learning of the Emperor Beast's existence.

She was born to be the emperor who ruled over the soul beasts. Not to mention that the cultivation speed of soul beasts under the rule of the emperor auspicious beast was doubled, and ferocious beasts could be protected by the power of luck to reduce their own calamities.

Therefore, once the Star Dou Great Forest launches a war against humans under the will of the Silver Dragon King, the conflict between soul beasts and humans will inevitably be fully revealed.

Seeing Di Ruier's hesitant expression, the Silver Dragon King simply said softly, "Does the auspicious beast believe that it is inappropriate for soul beasts to wage war against humans?"

Without a doubt, if there are hawks and doves in the human world who have completely different attitudes toward soul beasts, then the soul beasts can be said to be unified hawks.

All spirit beasts are born with great hostility towards humans. This is an instinct passed down in their bloodline from countless years of being hunted.

After all, the purpose of Soul Masters hunting Soul Beasts is to obtain Soul Rings and Soul Bones.

For spirit beasts, humans are normally no different from other food in terms of their appeal.

They are all just nourishing substances rich in soul power, but humans are both weak and terrifying in the eyes of soul beasts.

Such a contradictory existence makes them hostile to all kinds of spirit beasts.

After all, the lifespan of seemingly insignificant humans is even shorter than that of any soul beast that has lived for over a hundred years.

Yet these very humans were able to hunt down several, even dozens, of soul beasts that were tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years old, or even ferocious beasts, within a mere hundred years.

The number of Soul Masters is simply too large, and their reproductive capacity is simply too fast, so the demand for hunting Soul Beasts is naturally rising.

Even though Soul Masters are only a minority in the human world, a Soul Master needs to hunt a Soul Beast of considerable age every ten levels of Soul Power.

In addition to hunting for spirit rings, the flesh and blood of spirit beasts can be made into nourishing meals that can be enjoyed by both ordinary people and spirit masters, and are of great benefit to their health.

Other parts of a soul beast also have their uses, but for a soul beast, the energy obtained from a single meal might be enough to sustain them for a year. Apart from that, they rarely hunt young beasts.

However, for humans, it's not unusual for a hunting team to kill ten or a hundred soul beasts in a short period of time.

Otherwise, the so-called secret soul bone wouldn't have been created, since there are no magicians on the Douluo Continent who specialize in this field.

The randomness of a Soul Master's Martial Soul and Soul Skills also determines that it is impossible for them to have systematic researchers.

Therefore, the number of soul beasts killed in the process of verifying and deducing the method of producing secret soul bones is far more than tens of thousands.

Aside from the lowest-ranking soul beasts, the reproduction rate of soul beasts is often measured in years, and the time required for them to grow up is even longer.

Therefore, the development potential of spirit beasts is far behind the rate at which human reproduction and the demand for spirit beast resources are consumed.

This is why, even without the influence of the Silver Dragon King, soul beasts still hunt and prey on each other.

However, in the eyes of the soul beasts, humans can definitely be considered the most hated alien species.

Upon hearing the Silver Dragon King's question, Di Rui'er nodded and voiced her concerns.

"Although our Star Dou Great Forest possesses a powerful foundation, the time required for each high-level soul beast to grow is far too long."

"If we were to wage war directly against humanity, even if we were to achieve final victory, the losses would be unacceptable."

"At best, it could cause some of our soul beast populations to die out; at worst, it could even lead to the extinction of a large number of soul beasts."

"Moreover, humans are not so easy to deal with; their growth rate and the new things they have researched in recent years should not be underestimated."

"Besides, it's very difficult to completely wipe out a group, since the sea spirit beasts on the ocean have always been at odds with us."

"Even you or I cannot command them, and if humanity abandons the continent and flees into the sea, this hatred will continue to be passed down from generation to generation."

"If we expand the war between the two sides to the entire continent, then once it enters a protracted war, the result will inevitably be a lose-lose situation."

"That's exactly what I'm worried about. I want to find a way to avoid conflict between the two races and end this hatred that has lasted for hundreds of thousands, even millions of years."

After listening to Di Ruier's worries and thoughts, the Silver Dragon King simply nodded, then smiled and said, "You overestimate humanity and underestimate Di Tian."

"Although humans are numerous, they are also difficult to unite as one, and the rise of us soul beasts is not something that can be achieved overnight."

"Di Tian is already in charge of this matter, and let those humans with ulterior motives handle the initial stages. Let them create chaos on their own."

"When the time is right, it will be time for our Star Dou Great Forest to step in."

"As for the inability to eradicate the root of the problem leading to the spread of hatred, when that day truly comes and humanity becomes like stray dogs, how could they possibly pose any threat to us then?"

A silver light flashed, and the same spatial passage as before opened, revealing a vortex-shaped doorway.

"Auspicious Beast, you should go back first. There's no rush. You'll understand the whole story once you discuss it with Di Tian."

Di Ruier nodded, although she had other thoughts in her mind and also had a lot to say in rebuttal.

However, the Silver Dragon King's status is still higher than hers, and she has no choice but to obey his will.

Stepping into the silver vortex, Di Tian met Di Rui'er, who had left the hiding place of the Silver Dragon King, at the bottom of the Lake of Life.

"Let's go, mythical beast. Our Star Dou Great Forest will be quite busy for the next while."

"Now that you, as an imperial auspicious beast, are willing to take responsibility, there are some things I can no longer hide from you."

Di Ruier nodded and, led by Di Tian, ​​arrived at the Holy Spirit Sect's headquarters in the Star Dou Great Forest.

After the attack on Shrek City, Di Tian fulfilled his promise to these evil soul masters and allowed them to continue mining resources in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Di Tian's arrival once again stirred the nerves of these evil soul masters, but unlike last time, Zhong Liwu, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, was not present this time.

The one currently in charge of running this place is the Grand Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, an evil spirit master who has lived since the time of Zhongli Wu's father, Zhongli Laogui.

Although this elder was not particularly outstanding in terms of combat strength, his management skills and insight were top-notch.

Upon seeing Di Tian arrive, they immediately stepped forward to greet him: "Your Majesty, the Beast God, what brings you here today? Our Holy Spirit Sect will certainly do our utmost to fulfill your requests."

After these repeated attempts, the Holy Spirit Cult has completely taken control of the cooperation between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Dou Great Forest.

Meanwhile, the Sun Moon Empire was shocked by the audacity and arrogance of the Holy Spirit Church, and thus its attitude towards them underwent a subtle change.

Di Tian merely glanced at the other party and then said, "I am not here to find you, but to introduce you to the Imperial Beast of my Star Dou Great Forest. She will also be the one to directly hand over the reins to you in the future."

"And the will of the Emperor Beast is the will of our Star Dou Great Forest."

Upon hearing Di Tian's words, the Grand Elder of the Holy Spirit Sect quickly turned his gaze to the blonde girl beside him and respectfully said, "The Holy Spirit Sect greets the Emperor Beast."
