Chapter 411: The Savior of Soul Beasts
A dream world formed by memories.
Star Dou Forest, core region.
A massive black dragon with golden eyes soared through the sky before rapidly shrinking and transforming into human form as it landed. With a flick of his sleeve, Di Tian and the other fierce beasts were released.
At that moment, a group of divine beasts who had already received news of their arrival gathered around, curiously examining these "past" versions of themselves. Bi Ji, Zi Ji, the Scarlet King, Bear Lord, and others all familiar faces crowded forward. Even the small Three Eyed Golden Lion approached its real world counterpart, observing it with curiosity.
Seeing these versions of themselves from another world, who had all become divine beasts, free from the worries of heavenly tribulations and lifespan constraints, exuding an air of ease and leisure… the gathered fierce beasts couldn't help but feel envious. How could the difference be so great when they were clearly the same soul beasts?
Moreover, these visitors were from ten thousand years in the past, meaning their timeline was far ahead, yet the current ones were still so weak. Ten thousand years had passed, and they had barely progressed at all. It was as if, despite being the same species, their experiences had diverged entirely.
The fierce beasts began exchanging intelligence about their respective worlds. Meanwhile, Di Tian was taken to meet the Silver Dragon King.
Soon, he was face to face with the ruler of this world.
The Silver Dragon King remained in her true form her vast and stunning body radiating pure power and beauty. She gazed down at Di Tian, her eyes scrutinizing. The real Di Tian had also reverted to his true form, but compared to the Silver Dragon King, he was barely the size of a fingernail.
Having signed a contract with Ye Cheng for many years, the Silver Dragon King had passively gained numerous benefits, advancing from the initial level of a God King to the very peak of that realm. As a result, her true form had also undergone a transformation, becoming even larger, more breathtaking, and overwhelmingly oppressive.
"So, you are Di Tian from another world?" A majestic yet melodious voice emerged from the Silver Dragon King's mouth. She calmly fixed her gaze on Di Tian. "State your purpose here."
During their journey to this dream world, Dream Di Tian had already transmitted everything he knew to the Silver Dragon King through voice transmission. That was why she wasted no time in asking directly. In truth, the moment she saw Di Tian and the others, she had already confirmed that they were indeed from a different, albeit similar, world.
"Reporting to my lord."
Even though the Silver Dragon King before him was merely a creation of the dream world, the pressure she emitted was real. Di Tian dared not show the slightest neglect as he carefully chose his words to explain the reason for their arrival.
He deliberately concealed the fact that this was a dream world and instead selectively described the differences between their world and this one. He also claimed that their arrival was purely accidental and that returning home required finding a certain individual an expert named Ye Cheng, the only one capable of helping them return.
The Silver Dragon King listened silently, aware that Di Tian was not telling the whole truth. However, as a product of the dream world, something in her subconscious warned her not to dwell on this matter. Thus, even though she knew Di Tian was hiding something, she did not expose him.
When she heard they were searching for Ye Cheng, she immediately agreed to let Di Tian take them to meet him.
Everything was going too smoothly.
So smoothly that Di Tian found it a little unreal.
However, remembering that this world was merely a dream constructed from memories, it made sense that its inhabitants might not behave entirely logically.
After reuniting with the other fierce beasts, Di Tian did not immediately set out to find Ye Cheng. Instead, he wanted to learn more about this world's soul beasts and how they differed from those in his own world.
Dream Di Tian had no objections to this plan. After all, they were only seeking common knowledge about this world. Since it wasn't a secret, there was no reason to withhold information.
Thus, Di Tian and the other fierce beasts temporarily settled in the Star Dou Forest.
They began carefully studying this world to understand how it differed from their own. The more information they gathered, the better prepared they would be when they eventually met Ye Cheng.
The first and most undeniable difference was the emergence of a question and answer system that had triggered a chain of changes. Then came the Abyss invasion, which led to the defeat of the demons and a subsequent increase in the energy concentration of Douluo Star. As a result, both soul beasts and soul masters found it easier to strengthen themselves.
Next came the revolutionary soul ring condensation method, eliminating the need for soul beasts to be hunted for rings. The Divine Soul Master system then flourished.
As the human side grew stronger, even producing multiple god level experts, soul beasts, due to restrictions imposed by the Divine Realm, were forever stuck at the ninety nine thousand year mark. Their future seemed bleak, with no hope in sight.
At this critical moment, the strongest human, the pioneer of all these changes Ye Cheng, the Lord of White Cloud City extended a helping hand to the soul beasts. He declared that to resist the Abyss, they needed to unite all available forces.
Humans alone could not stand against the Abyss.
Thus, he created the groundbreaking system of Contract Soul Masters!
This system allowed soul beasts to form symbiotic contracts with human soul masters, sharing their power without requiring sacrifices or other harmful methods. Under this system, heavenly tribulations would no longer descend, and the hundred million year god level bottleneck would cease to exist. The soul beast race would finally rise to greatness!
The shackles that had bound soul beasts for hundreds of thousands of years had been broken through an alternative method.
From that moment on, humans and soul beasts became inseparably linked. The contract between a Soul Master and a soul beast was equal both would share in each other's fate, rising and falling together.
Soul beasts no longer had to fear that humans would one day grow too powerful and wipe them out. Thanks to the contract, the two sides achieved true reconciliation.
It was worth mentioning that the very first Contract Soul Master duo in history was none other than Ye Cheng and the ruler of the soul beasts the Silver Dragon King herself!
Upon learning all of this, Di Tian and the other fierce beasts felt as if they had been struck by an overwhelming wave of joy. They had never expected that Ye Cheng was not only not an enemy but was actually their ally.
More accurately, he was the savior of the soul beasts!
He was the hope for their future!
Their previous fears and speculations had been nothing more than paranoia.
Contract Soul Masters this was the true future of soul beasts!
In comparison, what was that garbage system of Soul Spirits that Huo Yuhao had shown in the videos?
Everything suffered in comparison.
Unlike Contract Soul Masters, which enabled true cooperation and mutual benefit between humans and soul beasts, Soul Spirits merely forced soul beasts into another form of servitude.
The system of Soul Spirits did not fundamentally solve any problems.
In fact, soul beasts that became Soul Spirits ended up in an even worse situation. Even after death, their souls would be eternally bound to humans, forced to serve them forever. It was truly tragic.
