"Miss Silver Dragon, do you know what year it is now?" Ye Nanxiao turned to look at Gu Yuena beside him.
"I wonder which year it is? That makes sense, after all, you came down from the realm of gods, it's normal that you don't know the schedule of this world." Gu Yuena reached out and fiddled with the petals of the hollow orchid.
Ye Nanxiao opened his mouth. He was just a part of his soul that had been inexplicably injected into this world, and he hadn't passed the test to go to work in the God Realm yet.
But if he were to reveal it, would Gu Yuena shatter that part of his soul?
"I don't know the timeline of this world. I only remember that pain gnawed at me like a bone-eating worm for countless days and nights, and the flames of revenge will never be extinguished!" Gu Yuena clenched her fists, looked up at the sky, and had intense hatred in her eyes.
The terrifying killing intent emanating from Gu Yuena made Ye Nanxiao vaguely see a silver dragon roaring at the sky, its graceful body covered with hideous wounds.
"Is this... Gu Yuena after the war?" Ye Nanxiao asked solemnly.
If it is the Silver Dragon King who just escaped from the God Realm, then the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian, who followed the Silver Dragon King in escaping from the God Realm, should also be in this forest.
I am now just a fragment of a soul, and all the power I possess is the three petals on the back of my right hand. Even protecting myself is a problem.
Ye Nanxiao didn't think about how to send his fragment of soul back. His immediate priority was to rely on Gu Yuena's power to survive.
The question is, would the other person even be interested in me?
Ye Nanxiao fell into deep thought. He needed time to figure out what had happened to this part of his soul, and the prerequisite for thinking was that he had to survive safely.
Just as Ye Nanxiao was pondering how to gain Gu Yuena's protection, Gu Yuena suddenly turned to look at him and said, "You are from the Ice God Realm. Although I don't know why you only have a fragment of your soul left, your condition is very unstable and you could dissipate at any time. I can help you return to the Ice God Realm, but only when I have the space to intervene. In that case, can I consider you to be on my side and stand against the God Realm?"
Ye Nanxiao suddenly snapped out of his reverie and looked at Gu Yuena.
Gu Yuena also looked at Ye Nanxiao. Her meaning was simple: you are now in my hands. Either help me fight against the God Realm, and then I will send you back to the Ice God Realm, or you will perish here with time.
Gods are not immortal, and souls cannot last forever.
"What benefit would I get from helping you?" Ye Nanxiao hesitated for a moment before asking.
Silver Dragon was banished from the God Realm. Based on Silver Dragon's previous words, it seems that the God Realm has also sent pursuers down to the mortal realm to hunt him down. If he is caught in this vortex, not only will his part of his soul be captured or even shattered, but it may also affect his main body, which is in the future.
He is not yet powerful enough to contend with the divine realm; even the lowest-ranking deity could inflict annihilation upon him.
"Heh, I didn't expect you to have such a big appetite, wanting to negotiate with me. You're just a fragment of a soul that could shatter and dissipate at any moment. Aren't you afraid that I'll let you dissipate?" Gu Yuena sneered.
"If you wanted to, you would have let me disappear long ago. You want to fight against the God Realm, but your power is extremely insufficient. I guess you only have two cards left to play in terms of power to fight against the God Realm, is that right, Your Excellency Silver Dragon King?" Ye Nanxiao met Gu Yuena's gaze without any fear.
Besides herself, the only other person in Gu Yuena's possession with power comparable to that of the God Realm is Di Tian, who also escaped from the God Realm. However, Gu Yuena is now clearly quite injured.
"Very well, I don't like beating around the bush like those people in the God Realm. What are your conditions?" Gu Yuena asked, her hands clasped in front of her chest.
"Help me stabilize and restore my soul so that I can find my way back." Ye Nanxiao didn't make unreasonable demands, but simply added one more condition: restore his soul.
"Alright! I agree!" Gu Yuena waved her hand, grabbed Ye Nanxiao, and transformed into a streak of silver light, disappearing into the depths of the forest.
Lake of Life, a treasure formed by heaven and earth, contains unparalleled vitality in its waters.
If a soul beast cultivates by the lake, its speed will increase exponentially. It is a paradise for soul beast cultivation and a treasure trove for healing.
The silver light fell on the shore of the Lake of Life, immediately alerting a dark figure on the shore.
The moment the silver light landed, Di Tian arrived in front of it and knelt on one knee.
"My lord!"
The silver light dissipated, revealing Gu Yuena's figure, and Ye Nanxiao, who was being held in someone's grasp.
Upon seeing Ye Nanxiao, Di Tian's eyes filled with intense wariness.
"My lord, who is this soul?" Di Tian asked.
Gu Yuena left Ye Nanxiao on the edge of the Lake of Life.
Abundant life energy naturally climbed up Ye Nanxiao's body, making him feel as if he were soaking in a natural hot spring.
"Hiss!" Ye Nanxiao couldn't help but let out a comfortable sound.
Turning his head, he saw Di Tian staring at him menacingly.
Di Tian was still wearing a black armor, which was covered with numerous scratches and several through wounds, silently telling the story of the fierce battle he had endured.
"These are people from the Ice God Realm. Because their souls were shattered, a part of their souls fell into the stars, where I met them. They are willing to fight against the God Realm with us," Gu Yuena said calmly.
"But my lord, even if they are from the Ice God Realm, they are still from the God Realm. I don't think they can be trusted!" Di Tian said hurriedly, black lightning flashing in his golden dragon eyes.
Ye Nanxiao was once again surrounded by the dragon's might, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Gritting his teeth, Ye Nanxiao stared at the heavens, the ice flower petals on the back of his right hand emitting a faint glow.
Dark clouds suddenly gathered over the Lake of Life, and the temperature plummeted.
"This is!" A look of shock flashed in Di Tian's eyes.
He felt intense pressure from the soul fragment before him. The Lake of Life was protected by a barrier set up by Gu Yuena and filled with the power of the Silver Dragon King, yet this soul fragment was able to alter the celestial phenomena within the barrier.
"Di Tian, this is my choice." Gu Yuena waved her hand gently, dispelling the dragon's might emanating from Di Tian.
"Yes." Di Tian lowered his head and did not attack Ye Nanxiao again.
"Are you Di Tian?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
Di Tian frowned slightly. He was the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King under the Dragon God's Guard! How dare this soul address him by his name!
However, Gu Yuena was still standing to the side, so Di Tian could only suppress his displeasure. "I am Di Tian, incomplete soul. Have you ever witnessed my mighty name?"
"I haven't heard of your reputation, and I don't have time to listen to you talk about how brave you were back then. Tell me about the current situation so I can make a general judgment and customize a plan," Ye Nanxiao asked.
He must act quickly to show Gu Yuena his worth.
Di Tian turned to look at Gu Yuena, who nodded slightly, a hint of interest on her face.
"Alright, my lord and I escaped from those bastards in the God Realm and landed in the Star Dou Great Forest. However, those bastards in the God Realm do not intend to let us go and sent five gods to hunt us down. My lord used the barrier to conceal his aura and evaded the pursuers from the God Realm. He secretly healed his wounds. My injuries are not too serious. I am about to conquer the soul beasts in this forest, establish order among the soul beasts, and fight against the pursuers from the God Realm!" Di Tian hesitated for a moment before revealing his plan.
"However, I cannot overuse my power, lest I attract the attention of the pursuers from the God Realm prematurely. Moreover, there are many unruly and arrogant overlords in this forest. I forcibly suppressed several soul beast races as vanguards, preparing to advance into the rest of this forest."
After speaking, Di Tian looked at Gu Yuena with a hint of longing in his eyes, the kind of longing a subject has for his lord's praise.
However, Gu Yuena simply nodded slightly, her gaze falling on Ye Nanxiao.
Seeing the disappointed look on Di Tian's face, Ye Nanxiao suddenly gained a little more understanding of Di Tian, who was known as the Beast God.
This guy is not only a loyal subject, but also a super arrogant monster who loves to be praised.
"What's your opinion?" Gu Yuena asked.
Ye Nanxiao sat cross-legged by the lake and pondered for a while.
"We must conquer the Starry Sky, but we cannot expose the existence of the Silver Dragon. Di Tian also cannot use his power too recklessly. Conquering all the soul beasts in this forest and building a soul beast system will be a bit difficult."
Di Tian's current situation is like a general going to war, but he has no soldiers he has trained himself and is using only temporarily captured soul beast races.
Ye Nanxiao felt a chill run down his spine. The world of soul beasts was not like the human world. Survival of the fittest was the law of the jungle. Building a system of control was not difficult, but making soul beasts behave like human armies was far too difficult.
It's difficult for sheep and wolves to coexist in the same enclosure unless they both stop eating.
However, the resources needed for soul beasts to cultivate are not limited to treasures from heaven and earth; devouring is also a method of cultivation for soul beasts.
Even if Ye Nanxiao had a complete method for training soldiers in his mind, he couldn't come up with a corresponding method for the time being and needed to improve it.
When Di Tian saw Ye Nanxiao frowning and deep in thought, he couldn't help but feel somewhat dissatisfied.
After the automatic dragon god split in two, he considered himself the first general under the Silver Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King's most trusted subject.
He would not allow anyone to touch the empress in his heart, hence his dissatisfaction with Ye Nanxiao.
"If Xue'er were here, I could ask her how she ruled when she was in charge of the far north." Ye Huli scratched his hair.
The far north is home to a large number of races, each forming a food chain with the others.
"Forcibly conscripting soldiers and then gradually conquering the land is too slow. Let's just arrest them all! Those two idiots, Red King and Bear Lord, should be in Star Dou too; they'd be the perfect conscripts!"
Ye Nanxiao made up his mind and said, "I plan to declare war on all the races in Xingdou, to attract their attention, and ideally capture the chieftains of all the races."
A glint of light flashed in Di Tian's eyes. He was also planning to visit each clan one by one, defeat the clan leader-type soul beasts, and forcibly control them by planting restrictions if they did not submit.
"Good! That's exactly what I was thinking!" Di Tian said.
Di Tian temporarily set aside his prejudices and began to discuss with Ye Nanxiao, occasionally letting out a nasal sound of surprise.
Sure enough, humanoid creatures have a lot of wicked ideas in their heads!
Gu Yuena sat by the lake and glanced at Ye Nanxiao, who was having a heated discussion with Di Tian.
"The one who devises the plan—in human terms, a strategist? If they're of great use, then we must preserve this soul!"
Ye Nanxiao had no idea that he had already been labeled a cunning strategist.
