223: A contract made with a soul beast?
Returning to the familiar Douluo Continent, Qian Feng soared up, clearly seeing the surrounding environment.
What met his eyes was a vast, dense great forest. The Soul Beasts within occasionally made movements, but what surprised him was that he was now a Limit Douluo, a top expert on the Continent.
Why did no Soul Beasts sense him?
"Gu Yuena should have fallen back to the Douluo Continent, but is she not in the Soul Beast Great Forest?"
"What about Great Tiger? With that unruly fellow's temperament, if he knew he had arrived here, he would have rushed over in a flash."
Qian Feng let out a bitter laugh. As his soul power condensed, he only discovered after a self-examination.
His soul power had actually completely retracted into his body, not emitting even a trace of soul power. Even though he had reached level ninety-nine, if perceived from the outside, he would appear similar to an ordinary Soul Master.
"It seems the battle in the Divine Realm has made my body strong enough to reach the God King level, or even surpass it. Unfortunately, the divine power was completely squeezed out by me, and soul power filled the gaps and voids in my body, which led to this peculiar situation."
Qian Feng smiled slightly and no longer continued to ponder these matters. He and Xiao Wu's Convention (yueding - agreement/appointment) needed to be settled. He immediately stepped into the air and flew towards the depths of the Heaven Dou Great Forest.
In the deepest part of the Star Dou Great Forest, Gu Yuena lay bored on Great Tiger's back. The Evil Thunder Tiger crouched obediently, occasionally asking, "Lord Gu Yuena, is that Divine Realm really gone? Then is my boss alright?"
"I don't know." Gu Yuena sighed, closed her eyes, and softly lamented, "My connection with the Divine Realm has been completely severed. Based on my rule power, unless the Divine Realm has completely collapsed, rule power should not be unusable."
"Oh..." The Dark Golden Evil God Tiger's voice was a bit low, and he nodded helplessly, no longer asking anything further.
Just then, a faint sound of footsteps echoed from not far away.
Gu Yuena suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with shock.
She actually hadn't sensed anyone approaching?
But upon seeing the figure of the newcomer clearly, her initial shock turned into surprise.
"Qian Feng? You're back? What's going on?"
"Boss!" Great Tiger roared, immediately slipping away from Gu Yuena's side, causing her, who was originally surprised, to nearly stumble and fall due to the loss of support.
"Oh dear~" Qian Feng chuckled, held Great Tiger, and patted his head, laughing, "Alright, alright, I still have some things to talk about with Gu Yuena."
"It's good that you're alright, Boss! I thought you got killed in the Divine Realm!" Great Tiger chuckled, then rubbed hard against Qian Feng again before reluctantly backing away.
"What is this situation? Where is Disaster Ancestor? The Divine Realm is also gone, and your divine power in your body, why has it all disappeared?" Gu Yuena took a few steps forward, her eyes wide as she looked at Qian Feng. The series of questions revealed the confusion in her heart.
However, Qian Feng was not in a hurry to answer. Instead, he looked at the woman slowly walking out from another area, shook his head, and said, "First, we need to resolve everything between Xiao Wu and me, then we can talk."
"Now our combat power is similar, and I no longer use divine power, so we can have a fight."
He looked at Xiao Wu and said with a bitter smile, "When is the best time to fight?"
Xiao Wu looked calmly at Qian Feng, shook her head, and lowered her head, saying, "You have sacrificed so much for the Continent, I have no heart for revenge anymore. However, I have a condition. If you cannot fulfill it, I will still go kill my way to Spirit Hall and seek revenge on Bibi Dong!"
"Tell me." Qian Feng immediately nodded and quickly asked as he looked at her.
"Your Spirit Hall must no longer hunt our Soul Beasts on a large scale." Xiao Wu's eyes widened as she looked at Qian Feng and asked, "Can you do that? I believe in you, Qian Feng, and I believe your promise is valid."
"That's not a problem. In fact, I will proactively add more to this clause to achieve true peaceful coexistence between Soul Beasts and Human Soul Masters." Qian Feng smiled slightly, then looked at Gu Yuena, nodded, and said,
"Aren't you curious about what I did in the Divine Realm?"
"Yes! Quick, tell me, Disaster Ancestor was so powerful, did you kill him? And what exactly happened to the Divine Realm?"
Qian Feng spread his hands. He simply found a patch of grass to sit down on, looked at the setting sun in the evening, sighed, and then told her everything that had happened after Gu Yuena fell back to the Continent.
Gu Yuena and Xiao Wu listened with wide eyes, their hearts filled with immense shock.
Hearing about the collapse of the Divine Realm, they showed expressions of horror.
"Are you saying you made the entire Divine Realm disappear?" Gu Yuena took a few steps forward and pulled on his sleeve, asking.
"My boss, doesn't that mean all the Gods were killed by you?" Great Tiger also came closer, his tiger eyes wide as he asked.
"Uh, not exactly. When I destroyed the Divine Realm, the Gods had already been killed by Disaster Ancestor, so it actually had nothing to do with me." Qian Feng spread his hands, then looked at Gu Yuena and said,
"It's just that you might not be able to leave the Douluo Continent anymore."
"That's fine. The destruction of the Divine Realm also means my memory won't be fully awakened. I quite like these peaceful and leisurely days in the great forest."
Xiao Wu suppressed the shock in her heart and then asked, "Then Qian Feng, what are the other rules and regulations you mentioned?"
"Naturally, they are about the rules between Soul Beasts and Soul Masters. Now that the Divine Realm is destroyed, the path to higher cultivation has actually disappeared, so the structure naturally needs to change."
"After I return to Spirit Hall, I will issue laws prohibiting the large-scale hunting of Soul Beasts, but I will not refuse the needs of ordinary Soul Masters for cultivation."
"Similarly, if a Soul Master dies while hunting a Soul Beast, there will not be large-scale retaliation."
"There must always be a delicate balance, right?" Qian Feng chuckled, looking at the two of them, while also having a concern in his heart:
"However, the lifespan of humans is limited. As the years pass, the Soul Beasts in the great forest will become stronger and stronger, especially once there are more hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts..."
"Don't worry, leave this to me." Gu Yuena waved her hand and said, "Since I am the master of Soul Beasts, I naturally have the ability to command all Soul Beasts. I will suppress their cultivation and strictly control them."
"The Silver Dragon King can exist for a very, very long time. If I get bored, I will directly fall into slumber. I will be the one to guard the hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts!"
"Mm, that's good too~ Haha, since that's the case, then Qian Feng won't stay in the great forest any longer. I still need to go home and see." Qian Feng chuckled. Overall, it was a decent agreement.
At least within this Douluo Continent, there would no longer be large-scale wars between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts. That's good.
"Then what about your lifespan? Without becoming a God, the lifespan of humans is very short." Xiao Wu frowned as she looked at Qian Feng, asking with some surprise.
"Don't worry, I have ways to prolong my life~ Hahaha." (End of Chapter)
