Chapter 109 The Sorrow of the Beast God
"You seem to know more than those humans?"
Gazing into Su Yu's dark eyes, Di Tian remained silent for a long time before finally speaking slowly.
"In truth, so many years have passed since the Douluo Continent was destroyed, how many peerless Soul Masters have become gods? While people are still painstakingly pursuing the footsteps of the gods, do they ever consider that true gods would never stoop down and look down at their followers?"
Slowly walking to the Lake of Life, gazing at the rippling reflection in the water, Su Yu felt as if he were a long-time friend of Di Tian.
Di Tian looked up at the sky and said, "You're right. So many years have passed, and how many people have become gods?"
Perhaps no one could communicate with Di Tian so calmly, and Di Tian himself could not discuss this topic with a human so calmly. At this moment, Su Yu could clearly feel an indelible sadness and desolation emanating from Di Tian.
Beside him, the light seemed to be distorted, and the distorted halo, combined with the dim sky, had an eerie beauty.
He casually scooped up a bowl of lake water and gently sprinkled it onto the ground. This scene was witnessed by Di Tian, but Su Yu simply looked at Di Tian and said, "Times change, just like the development of humanity. We used to explore the path of soul power; now we explore the development of soul tools. Times are changing, but soul beasts are constantly falling behind, their territories being devoured, and powerful soul beasts becoming human soul rings and soul bones. So, what does the Beast God think the path of soul beasts is? Is it like this bowl of water, ultimately disappearing into the earth?"
A look of surprise appeared on Di Tian's face. His dragon-like eyes trembled slightly as he looked at Su Yu. "It's been many years since a living being has aroused such interest in me. Do you really want to know?"
"When you have lived for hundreds of thousands of years, witnessed the growth of every speck of dust and every soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest, and experienced all the bizarre stories of this world, perhaps you will, like me, simply quietly stay in this Star Dou Great Forest."
"I explored this world long ago. It is a giant sphere. Apart from the Douluo Continent that is currently colliding with it, most other places in this world are oceans."
Di Tian spoke like a learned sage recounting his experiences. These things might be considered astonishing news in this world, but Su Yu was not surprised at all.
"Actually, the world is spherical, even the sun, moon, and stars in the sky are spherical. Beyond this world, there are other worlds, but if we want to leave this world, we will be blocked by its barriers. Senior, I wonder if what I'm saying is correct?"
Looking back at Di Tian, Su Yu really wanted to laugh. When you start talking to me about science, you've already lost.
"Since the outside world is so big, why don't you go out and see it?" Su Yu continued to ask.
Di Tian shook his head and did not answer Su Yu's question. "Actually, I didn't expect it either. Your appearance has brought me quite a surprise. You are different from other humans. You don't even reject what we humans call ferocious beasts. It's a pity that you are not a soul beast."
"Whether it's a soul beast or a human, at least soul beasts retain the most basic kindness, don't they?" Looking at the Lake of Life, which was beginning to ripple, Su Yu couldn't help but ask in return.
Having said that, Di Tian stopped speaking, his figure slowly fading away and finally disappearing from Su Yu's sight.
"Whether in the future or now, the development of soul beasts has always been a chaotic and unpredictable state. Under the world law that humans must hunt soul beasts, soul beasts are destined to eventually perish, and the continuous extinction of soul beasts will create even more powerful humans. As long as the fundamental nature of humans hunting soul beasts to obtain power remains unchanged, soul beasts will eventually face the crisis of extinction."
Looking at the spot where Di Tian had disappeared, Su Yu gazed at his reflection in the lake and spoke.
He knew that Di Tian had not left. His words were not only for Di Tian, but also for Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King, who was still recovering from her injuries in the lake.
The next day.
The Crimson King, carrying a nearly 20,000-year-old soul beast in its mouth, arrived at Su Yu's location. "Don't be so smug. If it weren't for Di Tian's orders, I wouldn't have allowed a human like you to absorb a soul ring in front of me, the Crimson King!"
Looking at the Crimson King's arrogant appearance, Su Yu could only smile helplessly. This was an 18,000-year-old, near-death subspecies of dragon, the Purple-Eyed Demon Dragon. If it weren't for its impending death, it wouldn't have been sent to Su Yu as a soul ring.
Putting everything else aside, it's still better than Su Yu leading Shrek's people into the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt, right? After weighing the pros and cons, they still know how to make choices.
Su Yu's physical strength, after being enhanced by the Life Gold, has already reached a near-limit level.
Su Yu's physical strength was already sufficient to absorb spirit rings through fragmented martial souls to enhance his body and mental power. With the help of the Life Gold, he broke through a limit, causing the age of the spirit rings he could attach to to increase dramatically.
The moment that jet-black, ten-thousand-year-old soul ring rose from the body of the Purple-Eyed Demon Dragon, Su Yu had already instructed Electrolux to preserve its soul as much as possible, since this old dragon had willingly dedicated all its soul power to him.
Adding a soul ring is usually a difficult and risky process, but this fusion went surprisingly smoothly. Looking at the weakened soul that appeared in his mind, Su Yu smiled with relief.
Some things always have sentimental value.
Life in the Star Dou Great Forest was actually quite simple: cultivate, research soul tools, make soul tools, and when you were really bored, you would ride on the back of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to visit the various ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. When you had nothing to do, they would rob you, and then you would have to hand over your soul tools for them to play with.
Anyway, none of those ferocious beasts were serious. Come to think of it, they were also interested in soul tools. They were initially dismissive, but things started to go awry after Su Yu pulled out that Heaven-Opening Cannon...
Anyway, ever since then, the fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells on Su Yu's body have gradually disappeared...
A month later.
Looking at the Starry Sky Forest receding into the distance behind him, Su Yu finally left this place.
"Thank you for taking care of me. I hope that in the future, we will not be enemies." Looking at the many ferocious beasts seeing him off, and Di Tian who had turned into black mist.
Looking at Su Yu, who had already left the Star Dou Great Forest, Di Tian asked hesitantly, "My lord, are we really going to let him leave?"
"Since he can't be found, he's no longer of any use to us, but... he..."
The voice stopped abruptly at this point.
Anyway, I, Su, have finally escaped. With the connection to the Emperor Beast, at least I won't be ganged up on by powerful soul beasts here anymore.
Gazing at the magnificent Shrek City, Su Yu couldn't help but exclaim, "I'm finally back!"
He was placed under house arrest for more than two months, spending those long, lonely months in a place far removed from human society.
During this time, Elder Yi remained completely asleep, mainly because he was afraid that if he woke up, the weak Elder Yi would be instantly taken by the Silver Dragon King as a tonic.
It's true that Su is afraid of death, but Old Yi is also afraid of death!
Being courting death and voluntarily going to one's death are two completely different things, not even on the same level.
After entering Shrek City, Su Yu finally returned to Shrek Academy, and this news instantly spread to the Sea God Pavilion.
Upon entering Shrek Academy, Su Yu was taken to the Sea God Pavilion by Martial God Douluo Xian Lin'er and presented to Elder Mu.
Looking at the increasingly frail Elder Mu, Su Yu knew that even without the attack from the evil soul master, Elder Mu's body wouldn't last much longer.
Sitting in front of Elder Mu were Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao, while Yan Shaozhe quietly watched Elder Mu from the side. Behind Elder Mu was Elder Xuan.
"Su Yu, you're back..."
Old Master Mu's health is deteriorating. People are born, grow old, get sick, and die. Even those who stand at the pinnacle of the continent cannot change this law.
In the original story, there was still more than a year until Elder Mu passed away...
"I'm back, Elder Mu. I'm sorry to have worried you." Su Yu bowed respectfully, just as he had when he first paid his respects to the elders of the Sea God Pavilion.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..."
Elder Mu didn't say much, only nodded with satisfaction. He looked much the same as when they returned, but Su Yu, who possessed a strong life force, could tell at a glance that Elder Mu's vitality was constantly being lost.
Huo Yuhao still became Elder Mu's disciple; however, Huo Yuhao is now also a disciple of the Body Sect's Poison Undying.
Thanks to Huo Yuhao, the relationship between the Body Sect and Shrek Academy has eased somewhat. Most importantly, Huo Yuhao's performance has won over the old man, Poison Undying: he is obedient, hardworking, and has good aptitude.
Du Busi felt that Mu En's decision was an incredible stroke of luck, which is why Huo Yuhao's strength was increasing at an astonishing rate.
After recounting his experiences in the Star Dou Great Forest to Elder Mu, Elder Mu sent Su Yu back. Before leaving, Elder Mu seemed to have noticed Su Yu's worries.
"Su Yu, everyone is born, grows old, gets sick, and dies. I have already lived in this world for more than two hundred years. What is there to regret?" Old Mu looked at Su Yu calmly, without any worry.
Su Yu nodded and replied, "I understand, Elder Mu, take care."
Back in his dorm, Su Yu opened the door to find his belongings neatly arranged, his desk spotless, and his bed perfectly clean.
It seems Wang Dong does clean his room, otherwise his bed would never be so clean and tidy.
When Su Yu returned, a soft, gentle figure rushed into his arms, clinging to him tightly and refusing to let go.
"Alright, alright, I'm back safe and sound, aren't I? Have you been cultivating properly while I was gone?"
He sat down on the edge of the bed, holding Wang Dong in his arms, and gently patted Wang Dong's slightly trembling body. They remained silent for a long time.
"You never came back, and I kept thinking you... you..."
As she spoke, Wang Dong almost burst into tears again, which she had been holding back. Looking at Wang Dong's heartbroken appearance, Su Yu felt a pang of sympathy.
"I'm not that easy to kill. You're just hoping I'll die every day. Can't you think of something better...?"
Okay, I know you're a crybaby. It's alright, I'll just comfort you and you can keep crying. If I can't comfort you, it's my fault!
Nestled in Su Yu's arms, Wang Dong angrily pounded Su Yu's chest and said sullenly, "You came back without telling me! If Old Mu hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known you were back. Don't you think I deserve this beating?!"
"If you kill me, who will take care of you, who will cook for you, and who will perform the Martial Soul Fusion Technique with you?" Su Yu was amused by this and couldn't help but ask back.
"This... I don't care, you deserve to be hit. You've made me worry for so long, it's only right that I hit you."
As he spoke, Wang Dong began to swing his little fists and start punching Su Yu's ribs, forcing Su Yu to dodge.
"You are not allowed to use your martial spirit, nor are you allowed to use spirit skills!"
Just as Su Yu was about to unleash his martial spirit and make a run for it, Wang Dong immediately spoke up.
"This isn't fair, why should we?" Su Yu retorted defiantly, then immediately unleashed his second soul skill and started running away.
Su Yu had no idea what Wang Dong was up to; wasn't he just looking for an opportunity to beat him up?
Then, the entire hallway was filled with the figures of the two chasing and playing around, until they were tired and helped each other back home, where they lay on the bed laughing heartily.
"Actually, I'm really curious, what happened to you after you were arrested?" Wang Dong nudged Su Yu, who was lying next to him, with his elbow.
Looking at Wang Dong's expectant eyes, Su Yu asked, "Oh, do you really want to know?"
"Tell me, let me hear how you, Su Yu, managed to survive in a world teeming with soul beasts."
Wang Dong looked at Su Yu with anticipation. He had been captured for so long without any news. Now that Su Yu was back, Su Yu's experiences were definitely what intrigued him the most.
"I'm not telling you! You have to beg me to tell you, beg me, and then I'll tell you..."
Wang Dong: "…………"
boom!
Poor Su was kicked off the bed by Wang Dong. When Su got up again, he had an evil smile on his face and reached out his evil hands to the innocent and naive squad leader Wang.
"Hahaha, I was wrong, Su Yu, I was wrong, stop tickling me, stop tickling me..."
"Hahaha……"
…………
After Su Yu returned, Shrek Academy's Extreme Individual Soldier Plan was launched. The most troublesome thing for Su Yu was the makeup course. However, after Su Yu took out a large bottle of pills specifically for dealing with this kind of course, the course was no longer of any significance to him.
The teachers who taught them also knew that Su Yu's ability to not study was a unique advantage that others couldn't match.
As for stealth abilities, Su Yu had already learned even more powerful ones from Elder Yi, so there was absolutely no need to worry about this skill.
Actually, you should be glad that I will still be updating during the National Day holiday. In fact, when you find that a book is basically no longer profitable, I believe most authors will choose to shut it down.
Along the way, I've met many book lovers who have encouraged me, but reality is cruel. I've even considered abandoning the book, because if I give up this book that doesn't make money, I'll have more time to do what I love.
However, I still promised all the readers in the group that I would try my best to finish writing it and give you all a perfect ending.
