The once bustling and bustling Shrek City on the plains has now become a dead silence and desolation. After the beast tide swept through, only ruins as far as the eye can see were left.

Wang Dong once went traveling in the city with her classmates. The streets she had walked on were covered with potholes of various sizes, which were traces of being trampled by beasts. The originally clean roads had long been buried by debris, wreckage and dust.

Now, this place has become a paradise for soul beasts. Various soul beasts roam among the ruins, and some flying soul beasts build nests among the stumps of tall buildings. They make sharp calls, and the sound echoes in the empty city ruins, as if declaring the soul beasts' sovereignty over this territory.

"Did you do all this?" After recovering her memory, Wang Dong had a clearer understanding of Mu Xing's moral standards. She always felt that under the education of the Goddess of Life, the other party should not do such a thing as massacre.

"Before you question me, you have to think about your position. Instead of questioning me, you might as well ask Moon why he used Tang San's divine consciousness to plot against me, why he led Di Tian from Xingluo City to Shrek City; and then ask Xuanzi why he slaughtered soul beasts, so that the beast tide rushed to the border cities of the three empires." Mu Xing looked normal, "In the final analysis, humans are the plundering party. Let's first figure out the cause and effect, okay?"

"..."

Wang Dong's heavy mood was not relieved until she stepped into the Star Dou Great Forest. This place gave her a strange yet familiar feeling. Her first four soul rings were obtained from the Ascension Pavilion of the Haotian Sect. This was the privilege of the young sect master and a small number of elite disciples of the Haotian Sect. They could directly obtain the most suitable God-given soul rings for themselves from there, without having to go through life and death in soul beast settlements like ordinary soul masters.

Her mother and two uncles all came from the Xingdou Great Forest, so she should feel at home here. But when she thought about the fact that she came here to hunt for spirit rings, she felt like she had betrayed them.

"You don't have to feel too burdened. Your mother and your two fathers think they are nobler than the Beast Gods, and they probably won't have sympathy for these soul beasts." Mu Xing saw through Wang Dong's thoughts, "They even dare to target the auspicious beasts, so what's the big deal about you hunting soul beasts? They might even think it's an honor for those soul beasts to serve as your spirit rings, or even think they are not worthy of you."

"I seem to have heard some extraordinary speeches." Just then, a pure white horse carrying a woman in a green dress came out from the depths of the forest.

This horse looks very strange, its body is like a horse, but its head is in the shape of a dragon, with white dragon scales extending from its forehead to the back of its neck and to its entire back. The most eye-catching thing is the diamond-shaped pale golden gem on its forehead, which shines a little dimly but is still bright. It is about four meters long and two and a half meters tall. If it weren't for the dull eyes and loose muscles, it would definitely be an extremely handsome creature.

The woman in the green dress on its back had a slender figure and fair skin, and looked exactly like a human. Her beautiful and gentle appearance made Wang Dong imagine the God-King who was in charge of creation.

Wang Dong's nervous mood was relieved instantly. This was probably a common feature of the life system. At least Brigitte did not have the talent to ignite vitality, so the soul beasts did not have to worry about being turned into powder barrels by her.

"How gratifying! I wanted to ask you last time, has your relationship evolved from raising auspicious beasts together to adopting human cubs together? The scene of you two fighting each other four thousand years ago is still vivid in my mind. Only Mr. Xiong and the others would think that you are giving in to her."

"It has nothing to do with me. I don't want to waste my time on them!" Di Tian coldly distanced himself from the matter. "I followed here just because I am interested in souls." The only ones he could accept were the Emperor's auspicious beast and the Ice Sky Little Dragon Girl.

Soul? Wang Dong thought to herself, this is an unfamiliar word. She has never heard of this kind of thing, whether in the God Realm or Douluo Continent.

“Didn’t you see it not long ago? The young man named Huo Yuhao signed a contract with a ten-thousand-year-old fear dragon and turned it into a soul.” Brigitte sat sideways on the horse’s back and looked Wang Dong up and down. “What a beautiful child. Both you and it are beautiful. It’s a pity that your physical conditions are not very optimistic. Just like you humans say, um... beauty has a short life?” She patted the dragon-headed horse under her.

Wang Dong felt a little uncomfortable. Although what the other party said was true, in order to divert attention, she took the initiative to ask: "What is a soul?"

“A special existence independent of spirit rings, spirit bones, and martial spirits, it is also another form of existence of spirit beasts. The soul of a spirit beast is extracted from its body in a special way, and a contract is signed with a spirit master, so that it can be transformed into a spirit ring of the spirit master without being hunted. In this form, the soul of the soul beast can retain its sanity and can even help the spirit master fight.” Mu Xing looked at Wang Dong, who was confused, and knew that she didn’t understand at all.

This kind of thing was beyond Wang Dong's cognition. She originally thought that the God-given soul ring was the best choice among all soul rings. But she soon realized that the existence of soul spirits was far superior to ordinary soul rings or even God-given soul rings.

"Originally, a soul beast could only provide one soul ring and soul skill, but after becoming a soul spirit, it can provide two, three, or even five or six at a time. The soul power consumed by the soul master when using soul skills will also be much less than the soul skills provided by ordinary soul rings, and the strength will be more than twice as strong as before. Do you understand what I mean?"

Wang Dong nodded, not quite understanding.

“Forget it, just get familiar with it first.” Mu Xing felt that Wang Dong’s brain was not very good. He didn’t know if it was a sequelae of the soul being torn apart and then merged or if it was congenitally unable to develop.

Biji jumped off the horse lightly and walked towards Wang Dong with it. "This is a Tianlong horse with a cultivation level of ten thousand years. It has the blood of the Holy Light Dragon, but it suffered a severe injury in its childhood. Although its blood is pure, it failed to grow dragon wings when it evolved to the ten thousand year level, and its vitality began to decline. After twenty thousand years of cultivation, it has been getting worse and worse, and gradually reached the end of its life."

"There is also a strong aura of light in your martial soul, and you have both suffered severe injuries, so perhaps you can develop some sympathy for each other. If it is willing to merge with you, it will be good for both of you. At least you can survive together."

"I thought you had already reached an agreement with it." Muxing looked at Brigitte expressionlessly, "Otherwise, why did you bring it here?"

Biji said softly, "You know, the Tianlongma tribe is very arrogant. Not to mention humans, even soul beasts rarely get close to them. If I hadn't helped it when it was injured, it would never have come here."

"It can choose to die with pride. There's no need to waste my time here." Mu Xing didn't mind changing to another light-attributed soul beast. After all, the Star Dou Great Forest was vast and boundless, and many soul beasts whose time was about to expire were still waiting to sign contracts with the humans in Dragon Pavilion to prolong their lives!
