Douluo Continent: The Ruler of Time, Reigning Supreme

Chapter 47: Beast God Emperor Tian
“But I will never go down that path.”

Yin Chen silently recited in his heart.

Although he and Huo Yuhao are not on the same path, they are destined to cross paths in this era that is about to change dramatically.

This is a race.

Yin Chen's lips curled into a faint, yet confident smile.

'A race against destiny.'

Currently, he is far ahead.

An eleven-year-old Soul Master of Level 38, possessing a Super Martial Soul, with the Star Luo Royal Family standing behind him, and the Holy Spirit Cult's immense power lurking in the shadows.

Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, is just getting started and is still working hard to get into Shrek Academy.

'And I will continue to be in the lead.'

Yin Chen's belief was unwavering.

Even though Huo Yuhao is favored by the destiny of this world and has the protection of a god-king, he is confident that he will win this competition.

So what if he's the chosen one? So what if he's part of a divine king's scheme?
My destiny can only be written by myself.

Yin Chen withdrew his gaze from the window, slowly closed his eyes, and began to meditate.

On the outskirts of the Starry Sky Forest, on a grassy area near a stream, a campfire crackled and the aroma of fish filled the air.

Having just experienced a miraculous adventure, eleven-year-old Huo Yuhao, still somewhat dazed and excited, deftly flipped the fish in his hands and carefully handed it to the blue-clad youth Bei Bei and the pretty purple-clad girl Tang Ya beside him.

Not long ago, he escaped from a desperate situation. Not only did he miraculously survive, but he also merged with a soul beast that claimed to be a million-year-old, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, and obtained an unprecedented million-year soul ring, as well as a spiritual power source that was so vast that it was unimaginable.

Subsequently, he accepted Tang Ya's invitation and joined the once glorious but now declining Tang Sect, becoming Bei Bei's junior brother, and received a promise to enter Shrek Academy's outer academy without taking the entrance exam through the Tang Sect's quota.

At this moment, the boy's face was filled with anticipation for the future as he chatted and laughed with Beibei and Tang Ya, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

However, this heartwarming scene, along with the earth-shattering energy fluctuations and divine consciousness descending earlier, were all seen without fail by several "bystanders" on a towering ancient tree in the distance.

The leader was a girl who looked to be about eleven or twelve years old.

She wore a simple silver dress, revealing her graceful figure. Her long silver hair flowed like moonlight, cascading over her shoulders and making her delicate face appear even more radiant.

What is most striking are her purple eyes, clear and bright, as if they hold the birth and death of stars, yet they also carry a kind of indifference and coldness that looks down on all living beings.

She stood there quietly, seemingly blending into the forest, yet also detached from it.

Everything that had just happened, from the fusion of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Huo Yuhao to the quiet relocation of the divine consciousness fragment from another world, exuding a strong aura of conflicting death and holiness, was all seen by her.

Beside her stood two figures with completely different auras, yet equally unsettling.

On the left is a middle-aged man with black hair and golden eyes. He is tall and robust with a resolute face. He exudes an aura as heavy as a mountain and as majestic as an emperor. Just by standing there, the surrounding air seems to freeze.

He is none other than the ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King – Di Tian.

On the right was a glamorous woman with black hair, a graceful figure, and a beautiful face, but her skin had an unnatural paleness, and she exuded a faint aura of death, making her completely out of place in this vibrant forest.

She lowered her head and looked meek, even her breathing was deliberately light. She was none other than Ling Yuan Douluo, an elder of the Spirit Hall from ten thousand years ago, who was resurrected by the "True Blood of Ten Thousand Businesses" after her death and transformed into a Nirvana Corpse.

At this moment, both the majestic and domineering Di Tian and Ling Yuan Douluo maintained absolute respect before this silver-haired girl, even displaying a hint of barely perceptible awe. Di Tian's golden eyes swept over the three people, Huo Yuhao and his companions, who were enjoying themselves in the distance, finally settling on the silver-haired girl. He spoke in a low voice, his tone carrying a metallic quality:

"My lord, that's the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. I never imagined that even after its life essence was drained, it would still have the ability to escape, and choose such a weak human... It needs my subordinate..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear—whether to capture the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm or eliminate the human boy.

The silver-haired girl, Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King, who was respectfully addressed as "Lord," calmly gazed at Huo Yuhao, as if examining an interesting object.

She shook her head slightly, her clear, cool voice flowing like an icy spring:

"No need. That boy is favored by the plane's fortune. If we attack him now, it will cause the plane's fortune to rebound, and may even attract the attention of those beings in the God Realm. Now is not the time for us to expose ourselves."

"Yes, my lord."

Di Tian responded in a deep voice, and said no more.

He had no doubt about the Lord's judgment.

Meanwhile, Lingyuan Douluo, standing to the side, was trembling with fear, not daring to even breathe loudly, inwardly lamenting his predicament.

She felt incredibly unlucky.

In his haste to escape from Yan Shaozhe and Manyi, he stumbled into the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, only to run right into this terrifying being with black hair and golden eyes.

She had roamed the continent for many years and had even encountered many powerful figures ten thousand years ago, but she had never felt such a despairing pressure.

The opponent completely overwhelmed and captured her with just one move, no, without even making a formal move, relying solely on his aura.

She was then taken to the legendary Lake of Life, a place of breathtaking vitality.

There, she witnessed a sight beyond imagination—seven terrifying beasts, including Di Tian who captured her, exuding an aura that made her soul tremble.

Compared to these beings, the two hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast overlords who caused her to perish ten thousand years ago were like docile house cats.

What terrified and bewildered her most was the silver-haired girl in front of her who had transformed into a human but whose cultivation level was only at the Soul Venerable level.

The supreme ruler of all soul beasts, the true master of the Star Dou Great Forest, and the faith of all soul beasts.

Having died once, Lingyuan Douluo cherishes this hard-won second life more than anyone else.

Faced with true supreme power, her pride as a titled Douluo had long been crushed, leaving only the purest awe and will to survive.

She carefully concealed all her breath and thoughts, afraid of causing the slightest displeasure to her lord.

"You guys go back."

Gu Yuena withdrew her gaze from Huo Yuhao, and a barely perceptible ripple flashed in the depths of her amethyst-like eyes.

"My lord, you...you've really decided to go to the human world in person?"

Di Tian's voice was low and filled with worry.

"Your injuries are far from healed. Now that you have transformed into human form, your strength is less than one-hundredth of what it used to be. The human world is treacherous and cunning. Even if those ants themselves cannot threaten you, what if... what if the gods discover your existence? That would be a true catastrophe."
