Reborn as a lotus, she initially refuses to hand it over to the state.

The flower mirror disappeared.

The Golden Bud Queen Bee circled the Hundred Flowers Seed several times, her compound eyes filled with vigilance.

It could sense that there was no slave mark or black tide aura in the flower seed, but things from the cave heaven should never be trusted lightly.

The queen bee fluttered her wings, and hundreds of nimble bees landed around the flower seed, surrounding it layer by layer.

"Seal it off at the edge of the flower sea and send three hundred bee guards to guard it. No one is allowed to approach without my order."

The swarm of bees emitted a low buzzing sound.

Then the Golden Bee Queen gathered up the Bee Queen Essence, transformed it into a golden light, and flew towards Lingnan.

Heilong Lake.

Three days later.

Taibai Mountain, carrying the mountain stone, passed through the sea of ​​clouds and fell into the sky above Black Dragon Lake. The azure blue whale bone, which was suppressing the tides, came from Tokyo Bay against the tides of the river.

The final golden ray of light, wrapped in the essence of the Queen Bee, landed in front of the nine-leafed blue lotus in the center of the lake.

Three artifacts, symbolizing the town's strength, are suspended on the lake's surface.

One piece is as large as a mountain, the other as large as the sea.

A piece of clothing, like a myriad of flowers just beginning to bloom.

All kinds of animals gathered inside and outside Heilong Lake.

Little Jinbao landed on a lotus leaf, its golden head constantly craning forward.

"Master, can these few items really save those beasts corrupted by the Black Tide?"

Chu Zhoulianye swayed gently: "Whether or not we can save him, we'll know today."

Deep at the bottom of the lake.

The strange stone looked at the three items used to suppress the domain, its stone patterns flowing: "Lotus Demon, once the Myriad Beasts Soul Suppressing Platform is established, it will no longer be a matter for your lotus alone. This platform suppresses the souls of beasts, protects the beast veins, and bears the will of all beasts."

"If it stands firm, it won't be so easy for the Lord of the Abyss to use the Abyss Seed to sacrifice all the beasts."

Chu Zhou's roots wrapped around the King Beast's Soul-Suppressing Bone: "Then let's begin."

boom!

The Zhenyuan Emperor Seal emerged from the bottom of Black Dragon Lake.

Black and gold light pierced through the lake.

Nine floating islands moved and circled the center of the lake, forming a huge circular platform.

The lake water parted to both sides.

The outline of the ancient city at the bottom of the lake was revealed to all the beasts for the first time.

The dilapidated city walls, the black and gold array patterns, and the sleeping Zhenyuan Stone Gate.

And there was that ancient altar, enveloped by countless blue-silver roots.

The sound of the strange rocks echoed throughout Black Dragon Lake.

"With the Soul-Suppressing Bone of the King Beast as its heart, the Taibai Mountain-Bearing Stone as its foundation, the Tide-Suppressing Whale Bone as its veins, and the Queen Bee's Spiritual Marrow as its lifeblood!"

Chu Zhou's nine lotus leaves bloomed simultaneously: "Stand on the platform."

Boom!

The King Beast's Soul Bone fell into the center of the altar.

Taibai carried the mountain stone closely behind.

The moment the stone touched the altar, the entire Black Dragon Mountain trembled.

Outside Heilong Lake, mountain peaks emerge with pale golden mountain patterns.

It is far away in the Qinling Mountains.

The Taibai Zhenyue Stele then lit up.

Zhenyue Mountain Spirit stands deep within the ancestral vein, its mountain imprint on its chest slowly rotating.

It sensed it.

Taibai Fuyue Stone did not plunder the ancestral veins; instead, it left a wisp of profound mountain essence firmly within the Qinling Mountains' veins.

"Qinglian is indeed a woman of her word."

The whale bones that smuggled the tide were sunk to the right side of the altar.

The azure whale pattern spreads all the way.

Heilong Lake, Nanjiang Sanguan, Zhenhai Yidao, and the Zhenchao Customs in Tokyo Bay all shimmer with tidal light.

The Dragon Whale King floats outside Tokyo Bay.

Its back wounds had not yet healed, yet it let out a long, drawn-out whale cry.

The sound of whales echoes across the sea.

Countless sea creatures that kept their promises raised their heads.

Dolphins, turtles, crabs, schools of fish, and even sea creatures far away near Zhenhai Island all bowed towards the east.

Finally, the Queen Bee Essence fell.

hum!

The golden spiritual essence exploded above the altar.

Countless golden petals flew into the lake.

The petals fell on the King Beast Soul-Suppressing Bone, and between the mountain patterns and whale bones, and the three conflicting forces gradually calmed down.

A gentle vitality spread throughout the entire Black Dragon Lake.

Little Jinbao spreads its wings.

The hidden wounds left by the Holy Covenant earlier dissipated under the rain of flowers, and an old wound on Bai Shanjun's back also emerged with a faint platinum light.

Behind the Snowfield Wolf King, the wolf cub that had been injured by the Soul-Locking Nails let out a soft whimper, and the black energy from its wounds was gradually forced out.

Outside Black Dragon Lake, all beasts are restless.

Guai Shi said in a deep voice, "The materials are all ready. Next comes the most crucial step."

Chu Zhou's voice echoed throughout the mountains and rivers: "Those who belong to the Azure Lotus Pact, listen to my words."

In the Black Dragon Mountain.

Baishan Jun stepped onto the mountain peak.

Little Jinbao flew into the clouds.

The Snowfield Wolf King led his pack to stand on the lake shore.

The Black Tiger King, far away in Sichuan, stood before the shattered sacrificial stele at Duanyun Ridge.

The Ironback Bear King, accompanied by the strange beasts of Xiongling, looked up towards Lingnan.

In the Qinling Peach Valley, the Green-Backed Ape King clasped his fists together.

In the sea of ​​flowers at Changbai Mountain, behind the Queen Bee with her golden stamen, three thousand spirit bees flutter their wings.

The Three Passes of Nanjiang.

Xuanjia, carrying the river tide on its back, slowly opened its eyes.

On Zhenhai Relic Island, countless green vines sway gently.

Outside Tokyo Bay, the Sea Dragon Whale King raised its massive head.

Chu Zhou's voice, along with the Azure Lotus Pact, fell into the hearts of every strange beast.

"The Soul-Suppressing Platform of Ten Thousand Beasts can suppress the Abyss Species, protect the divine soul, and guard the mountains and rivers. However, if you want it to truly awaken, each of you needs to lend a wisp of your will."

"Those who are willing to lend, I will remember this favor."

"Those who do not wish to lend may leave; I will not force them."

The area around Heilong Lake fell silent for a moment.

Many low-level beasts looked at each other.

They had experienced the Black Tide, witnessed the Soul-Locking Nails of the Spirit Hunter Society, and felt the Platinum Covenant of Lu Shengbai that made all beasts kneel in submission.

They instinctively resist the idea of ​​lending their will.

At this moment, Lord Baishan stepped forward: "White Tiger Ridge, I borrow a wisp of tiger's aura from my master."

The royal markings on its forehead lit up.

A wisp of platinum tiger energy surged into the Soul-Suppressing Platform.

Little Golden Sparrow immediately flapped its wings: "Master, I'll borrow it too!"

Golden feathers drifted down.

The Snowfield Wolf King howled to the sky.

"The Northern wolves, borrowing the will of the icy wolves!"

The Green-Backed Ape King slammed his fists into front of the Taibai Zhenyue Stele.

"The lineage of the Mountain-Moving Ape borrows the ambition to carry the mountain!"

Black Tiger King lowered his head.

"The Black Tiger Guards, under the guise of patrolling the realm in the shadows!"

The Ironback Bear King's voice was like muffled thunder.

"The beasts of Bear Ridge, with the heart of guarding the mountain!"

The next moment, countless rays of light shot into the sky from all over the Dragon Kingdom.

Tiger's wrath, wolf's intent, mountain patterns, tides, pollen, vines, armor marks, whale cries—the wills of different races, different bloodlines, and different mountains and rivers converge on Black Dragon Lake.

But just then...

Outside Black Dragon Lake, a blue-haired mountain ape suddenly took several steps back.

It comes from Duanyunling.

There are still scars left by Yuanzhong on his chest.

It stared at the Soul-Suppressing Platform, its body trembling uncontrollably.

A bear-like beast whispered, "Green Fur, why won't you lend it to me?"

The blue-haired ape gritted its teeth.

"I..."

It had barely uttered those words when it quickly changed its mind: "I don't believe in any marks. Some people used to say they wanted to protect the mountain apes and give us strength, but then they nailed the baby apes to the sacrificial stele."

Heilong Lake has quieted down.

Many of the strange beasts that had just escaped from the Sacrifice Abyss Cave had a struggle in their eyes.

Chu Zhou was not angry, and the lotus leaf swayed gently: "Then I won't lend it."

The blue-haired ape was taken aback.

Chu Zhou continued, "The Green Lotus Pact is not a slave contract. I saved you not to exchange a wisp of your soul."

"You can go to Xiongling to recuperate, or you can return to your own mountain."

"No one will stop you."

The blue-haired ape stood there, stunned.

It looked at the blue lotus in the center of the lake, and then at the beast kings around it who had not forced it.

After a long while, it slowly knelt down: "I do not rely on willpower, but if the Black Tide comes again, I am willing to stay in Bear Ridge and protect those young beasts."

Chu Zhou said, "Granted."

The Ironback Bear King raised its giant paw and patted the Green-haired Mountain Ape on the shoulder: "There is a place for you in Bear Ridge."

The blue-haired ape lowered its head and said nothing more.

This scene was fully recorded by the surveillance equipment of the Ninth Bureau outside Heilong Mountain.

Inside the temporary command post.

Zhou Zhenshan stared at the screen in silence for a long time. Wang Jun said in a low voice, "He really made the alien beast refuse."

Zhou Zhenshan nodded: "This is the true meaning of the Azure Lotus Covenant. It's not about making all beasts obey, but about giving them a choice."

……

On Heilong Lake.

More and more alien beasts are lending their will.

The roots of the blue silver tree supported the entire Soul-Suppressing Platform.

Chu Zhou's roots trembled: "Ten Thousand Beasts Soul-Suppressing Platform, open."

boom!

At the center of the altar, the Soul-Suppressing Bone of the King Beast emitted a thick mountain light.

The black and gold lotus pattern spreads from the platform.

A huge lotus-shaped light curtain spans the mountains and rivers of Lingnan.

The light curtain then spread along the Qinglian Pact towards the Qinling Mountains, Sichuan, Changbai Mountain, Nanjiang River, Zhenhai Relics Island, and Tokyo Bay.

All over the Dragon Kingdom.

The fragments of black tide remaining inside countless alien beasts trembled simultaneously.

On the chest of a young bear in Sichuan, a fragment of a black abyss seed was about to burrow into its spirit core.

The black and gold lotus pattern fell.

Yuan Zhong was instantly stunned.

A spirit deer lay dead in the snow on Changbai Mountain, its eyes glowing crimson.

The next moment, golden pollen and black lotus patterns fell simultaneously.

It exhaled a cloud of black mist, and the scarlet color gradually faded.

Bottom of the Nanjiang River.

A giant fish, corrupted by the black tide, rolled and roared, while Xuanjia raised its tortoise claws.

The tide from the three passes surged up the river, and the black-gold light from the Soul-Suppressing Platform fell into the giant fish's brow.

The black tide inside the giant fish was gradually drawn out.

[Ding! The Soul-Suppressing Platform for Ten Thousand Beasts has been successfully established.]

[Effect 1: Suppresses the Abyss Seed.]

[Effect 2: Purify Beast Souls.]

[Effect 3: The Guardian Beasts can use the Soul-Suppressing Platform to resist mental pollution.]

[The stability of the Azure Lotus Pact has been improved.]

[Gained 1800 million Beast Power.]

[Fourth Spiritual Tide Countdown: 25 days.]

Chu Zhou felt the power of the Soul-Suppressing Platform.

It is not invincible.

Currently, its coverage is limited, but it can directly suppress Abyss species below the seventh rank.

If it is the eighth-level Abyss Erosion Source, the Soul Suppressing Platform can only fight for a sliver of life for the beast horde.

But for all the beasts of today...

A glimmer of hope is enough to prevent countless groups from becoming sacrifices.

In the underground ancient city.

The strange rock stared at the Soul-Suppressing Platform without speaking for a long time. Chu Zhou's roots touched its stone body: "Little Stone, how are you?"

The strange stone's texture flashed: "Barely passable."

Chu Zhou laughed and said, "If Madam praises me, then praise me. Why be so stubborn?"

The strange stone trembled: "Lotus Demon, if you shout again, I will smash your roots!"

Chu Zhou laughed and said, "My beloved concubine, are you really willing to part with her?"

Upon hearing this, Guai Shi ignored Chu Zhou. This guy only knew how to talk big; if he really got serious, he could drive him crazy.

……

The news of the completion of the Soul-Suppressing Platform at Black Dragon Lake quickly spread around the world.

Satellites from various countries captured these images.

Within the Dragon Kingdom, black and gold lotus patterns simultaneously rose over many mountains and rivers.

The beasts that had been corrupted by the Black Tide did not go berserk or attack humans; instead, they regained their senses after the lotus patterns fell.

The global psionic channel was in an uproar.

"Has the Lord of the Azure Lotus come up with something new again?"

"Is that a formation for purifying alien beasts?"

"Before, you could only kill the Black Tide Beasts, but now you can actually save them?"

"Is this blue lotus really planning to provide an alternative path for the strange beasts?"

The White House in the United States.

The president looked at the satellite images, his face grim: "Its power has expanded again."

The head of the Psionic Bureau whispered, "The area covered by the Soul Suppressing Platform involves at least seven high-level ley lines in the Dragon Kingdom."

"It is no longer just defending Heilong Lake; it is truly connecting the alien beasts and the earth's veins into a unified whole."

The president paused for a moment before speaking: "Project Deep Blue will continue. Before the Moon Palace is opened, no submarine fleet is allowed to have any conflict with the Black Dragon Lake family."

"We need the Moon Palace, not war."

Kunlun.

Deep in the snow-capped mountains.

An ancient stone staircase, never before captured by satellite, slowly emerges from beneath the ice.

At the end of the stone steps.

A white jade Taoist palace floats amidst the sea of ​​clouds.

On the plaque of the Taoist temple, four ancient characters flow with the vast and ancient Taoist charm.

[The Primordial Dao Palace.]

Deep within the Taoist palace.

A young man dressed in white robes sat cross-legged in front of an ancient mirror. He had a golden mark between his eyebrows, and three ancient swords hung behind him.

When the black and gold lotus pattern of the Soul-Suppressing Platform of Ten Thousand Beasts spread to the edge of Kunlun, the ancient mirror suddenly lit up.

The image of all the beasts of Black Dragon Lake appearing in the mirror.

The young man opened his eyes: "The King Beast Soul-Suppressing Platform?"

An elderly man in a gray robe stood behind him, his voice deep and resonant: "Holy Son, a new Abyss Suppressor has appeared in the Ancestral Realm. The Lord of the Azure Lotus did not establish a Demon Court, but instead used the will of ten thousand beasts to establish an altar. Is this...?"

He stopped there and didn't continue.

The young man was silent for a moment before speaking: "This Lord of the Azure Lotus is quite bold. He wants to take the path of proving the Dao through force, but that's not so simple."

The gray-robed elder frowned: "Holy Son, if we allow the Lord of the Azure Lotus to develop unchecked, he may become our enemy in the future."

The white-robed youth stood up and said, "A great calamity is approaching. This Lord of the Azure Lotus is a friend, not an enemy. Our enemies are outside the Ancestral Realm. Right now, our main task is to seize the time to increase our strength before the great era arrives."

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and threw a Primordial Jade Talisman into the depths of the snow mountain. The jade talisman passed through the boundary wall and flew towards the south of Lingnan.

"Once the Kunlun Heavenly Gate opens another ten percent, I, the Holy Son, will personally go to Black Dragon Lake. I want to see for myself."

"Can this blue lotus bear the weight of all beasts?"
