Was it my arrival that caused some change… or…
Lin Xiao's mind surged with thoughts, and his eyes suddenly flickered slightly.
On Jing Hongcheng's body, points of light had already lit up on his shoulders, legs, and chest. With just a single thought, he could don the humanoid soul tool neatly.
Even so, there was still a trace of unease in his heart.
Before personally witnessing Di Tian, he had never imagined that something could reach this level with just its aura alone.
Even the few Limit Douluos outside Heaven Dou City back then seemed faintly inferior compared to the current Di Tian.
The few remaining top experts of the three empires were not much better. Although they stood beside the imperial family members and supported their soul power, it was uncertain how many could actually play a role if a fight really broke out.
On the contrary, the one with the lowest soul power rank, Juzi, as a woman, showed no trace of panic on her face. She raised her head and looked toward the black, oppressive clouds in the sky.
It wasn't that her soul power rank was too low for her to sense the pressure brought by Di Tian; rather, standing beside Lin Xiao, it had already been silently resolved invisibly.
Jing Hongcheng seemed to have noticed something. He turned his head and glanced at Lin Xiao. Seeing that he showed no sign of panic, his heart finally settled a little.
In the next moment, he felt a few traces of emotion.
Back then, Lin Xiao, who had just entered the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy and whom he had somewhat looked down upon because of his evil soul master identity, had, in the blink of an eye, become the pillar of the Sun Moon Empire.
Although the matter of the Netherworld Sect becoming the state religion had caused some private dissatisfaction among people, as the National Teacher, Lin Xiao, was far more reliable than Zhongli Wu back then.
Just as everyone had their own thoughts, on Sea God Island at the center of Sea God Lake, a golden-yellow light spread out from that enormous golden tree.
That light did not possess an overly powerful force, but wherever the light passed, the panicked teachers and students within Shrek Academy could not help but feel their hearts calm down.
Juzi's cultivation was not high, but the moment that light swept across her body, she sensed something and suddenly turned her head to look at Lin Xiao.
"Is this the power you fear?"
Lin Xiao shook his head slightly. "It doesn't count. What I fear is far more than this."
Juzi was momentarily speechless. With her cultivation, she indeed could not imagine what kind of mighty force it was that could make Lin Xiao feel apprehensive, surpassing even this light.
The exchange between Xuan Zi and Di Tian in the air continued to ring out. Lin Xiao did not make any other movements, only glancing from afar at the several statues on Shrek Square.
A moment later, he finally withdrew his gaze.
"Please be careful, Hall Master. I'll be back soon."
"You want to…" Before Jing Hongcheng could finish speaking, Lin Xiao's figure had already quietly disappeared, leaving only a faint, almost imperceptible spatial ripple in his original spot.
"Be careful!" Jing Hongcheng slightly raised his voice.
When Lin Xiao's figure reappeared, he was already in the air. He turned his head and nodded toward Jing Hongcheng before turning back around.
"Oh? Heavenly Calamity?" Di Tian seemed to have noticed Lin Xiao's appearance. "Do you know what a true heavenly calamity looks like? Mere rank 95, what qualifications do you have to bear the title of Heavenly Calamity?"
"You, a mere eight-hundred-thousand-year soul beast, do you know how high the heavens are? What qualifications do you have to bear the name Di Tian?" Lin Xiao, upon hearing this, was not angered. With a smile on his face, he spoke lightly.
Xuan Zi, who was also still in the air, suddenly turned his head and glanced at Lin Xiao.
Even he did not dare to speak such provocative words in front of Di Tian. Was this person so outspoken because defeating Poison Undying had truly made him feel invincible?
"You—"
Sure enough, in the next moment, dark purple lightning flashed across the pitch-black sky. Accompanied by Di Tian's voice filled with rage, it struck down beside Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao merely turned his head to look and did not dodge in the slightest.
From the very beginning, he had known that Di Tian's attack would not land on him.
The biggest difference between soul beasts and soul masters was probably that they did not have so many twists and turns.
Therefore, the purpose of Di Tian's visit this time might really be as he said—for the future direction of Douluo Continent. In that case, his true purpose was not difficult to guess.
Being able to learn in advance about the activities among humans on the Douluo Continent and even hear about his own title of Heavenly Calamity.
Although Lin Xiao did not know what method Di Tian had used, he knew that Di Tian was definitely not ignorant of the human world; in fact, he was quite familiar with it.
Therefore, if Di Tian's purpose in coming here was really as he had guessed, then the attack just now would absolutely not land on him.
"Good composure." Di Tian's voice suddenly softened, as if the furious voice from earlier had not come from him at all.
It was only after Lin Xiao appeared that several strands of golden light flashed in the air, as if Di Tian had slowly opened his eyes.
"Di Tian, Shrek Academy has an agreement with the Star Dou Great Forest. If you retreat now, I will not pursue the matter further. Otherwise, it means you are prepared to tear up the original agreement and become enemies with my Shrek Academy."
Xuan Zi's voice drew Di Tian's gaze over. "Now that Mu En is dead, if this seat truly wishes to tear up the agreement, what can you do? Could it be that you can still stop this seat?"
Xuan Zi's expression suddenly stiffened. He knew that Mu En had left a contingency within the Golden Tree, but such methods would only be used less and less. Now he no longer had the possibility of further breakthroughs. Before the Shrek Academy disciples grew up, Shrek Academy truly had no means to stop Di Tian.
"And you? Do you intend to stop this seat?"
Lin Xiao could not see Di Tian's figure or his gaze, but he could feel Di Tian's attention falling on him.
"Perhaps you won't believe it, but even though I am human, I also do not wish to see an unprovoked conflict arise between soul beasts and humans." Lin Xiao was not as anxious as Xuan Zi.
"If you wish to talk, I welcome you to discuss with us the future direction of Douluo Continent."
"After all, once the Douluo Continent is unified, how the Star Dou Great Forest should be handled will be decided by my Sun Moon Empire."
As his words fell, Lin Xiao suddenly felt his shoulders become much heavier. On the ground, that soul beast pressure seemed to pass through the protection of the Golden Tree and fall upon everyone's hearts.
Yet Lin Xiao's expression became even more relaxed. Di Tian's reaction proved that his guess was correct.
As a soul beast, Di Tian naturally did not care about matters between humans. His appearance here could only be because the Star Dou Great Forest was under threat.
Once the Sun Moon Empire unified the Douluo Continent, with the Sun Moon Empire's soul tool technology, the living space for soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest would inevitably become smaller and smaller.
This was precisely the reason Di Tian had come here.
In Di Tian's eyes, a chaotic Douluo Continent was far better than a unified one.
Therefore, he absolutely would not launch an attack at this moment and allow the people from the several great empires to unite here.
