Diary System—Chapter 77: Di Tian's Confidence—Waiting for the Silver Dragon King to Wake Up is the Day for My Soul Beast Clan to Counterattack!
If Dai Yichen knew what the Auspicious Beast was thinking, he would probably laugh at her—without any malice, just a simple laugh. Although the Auspicious Beast had also been manipulated by Tang San, she had fallen in love with Huo Yuhao and made sacrifices for him.
She had not considered, however, that she carried all the luck and destiny of the Star Dou Great Forest. Sacrificing it to Huo Yuhao, meant that the luck of the entire Star Dou Great Forest would be tied to him. Hence, Di Tian tried every means to prevent Huo Yuhao from becoming a god. Once Huo Yuhao ascended to godhood, what would happen to the luck of the Star Dou Great Forest?
Who knows how long it would take for the power of luck to recover? How long until a new auspicious beast appeared?
Without the auspicious beast's cultivation and breakthrough enhancements, even facing the future heavenly tribulation would be uncertain, meaning his end was drawing near.
At this moment, the auspicious beast felt fortunate to have received such a diary. She believed that this diary copy was meant to save her soul-beast clan.
In this short year, she had matured significantly, learning more than she had in the previous thousands of years, and her cultivation level advanced much faster than her previous pace.
Di Tian stood nearby and sensed the emotional fluctuations within the auspicious beast. He looked at her with confusion. "Auspicious Beast, what's wrong? Your emotions seem so unstable all of a sudden?"
Biji approached her with concern and gazed intently at her.
The auspicious beast paused for a moment, then looked at Di Tian and asked, "Di Tian, I was wondering—how long will it take for the Silver Dragon King to wake up, since you've been protecting her?"
Di Tian was taken aback but answered, "I don't know. The master was gravely injured. Even if the Lake of Life has restorative properties, it will probably take at least ten thousand years for her to recover and wake up. Why do you ask?"
The Three-eyed Golden Lion displayed a hint of curiosity. "Di Tian, are you planning to wait for the Silver Dragon King to wake up and lead us into war against human soul masters? A counterattack?"
Di Tian sensed that the auspicious beast was acting strangely today. However, given her unique identity, she was entitled to know some hidden truths, so he explained, "Yes, if the master recovers, she will possess the strength of a god, making her invincible in the lower world. At that point, our soul beast clan's counterattack is bound to succeed. We have suffered oppression from soul masters for far too long; it is time for a shift!" His expression grew serious, brimming with confidence. He had immense faith in Gu Yuena's abilities!
This was the half-Dragon God. The Dragon God was once a being that surpassed even the God King (I think his strength should be between half-step Creator God and Peak God King). The five God Kings, lacking martial ethics, had united to split the Dragon God in half with the sword of the Asura God, resulting in the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King.
The Golden Dragon King remained sealed in the God Realm; even the combined power of the five God Kings could not erase him, emphasizing the Golden Dragon King's might. Consequently, Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King, who was his equal, must also be formidable.
"But, Di Tian, I have a question. How can you be sure that once the Silver Dragon King awakens, she will follow your original intentions for a counterattack? Even if she leads a counterattack, while there may not be any god-level beings on this continent, there are places where gods inherit their power. If the gods in the upper world sense the existence of the Silver Dragon King, do you believe they will not intervene?"
Di Tian's expression froze slightly upon hearing this. He stared intensely at the auspicious beast, his brow furrowing. "Auspicious Beast, why do I feel like something is off with you today? Those words are not like you!"
The auspicious beast cursed herself internally; she was worried that her facade had slipped. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her (like a detective novel protagonist), and she turned to Di Tian calmly. "Di Tian, you should know that I possess the power of destiny alongside the luck of the Star Dou Great Forest. I have a feeling today that even if the Silver Dragon King wakes up, our soul beast clan's fate will not change; rather, it may worsen!"
The auspicious beast's previously pleasant voice became hoarse, and her curiosity faded.
"Little Golden Lion, are you being serious?!" Biji gazed at her nervously, unable to completely believe it, but the auspicious beast's power of destiny left her uncertain.
After all, destiny is an elusive concept.
Di Tian's face changed suddenly. He still had faith in the power of destiny. After all, the auspicious beast represented peace. If she had sensed something amiss, it indicated a warning from the darkness.
"Auspicious Beast, what do you mean?" Di Tian pressed, hoping to ascertain what insight the auspicious beast might provide.
The auspicious beast shook her head. "Di Tian, I don't know either. But I am certain that to change the decline of the Soul Beast clan, you will also need god-level strength. It would be wise to consider alternative ways to shorten the Silver Dragon King's recovery time."
"Merely pondering a soul-beast counterattack is not sufficient. Even if we succeed, the gods in the upper realm will likely not permit us to go unpunished. Additionally, while I may increase your chance of breaking through bottlenecks, it does not guarantee your success in overcoming the million-year heavenly tribulation. Even if you somehow break through, with those gods around, you will never ascend to godhood." A hint of sadness flashed in the auspicious beast's eyes.
Di Tian: …
After voicing these thoughts, the auspicious beast felt a slight throb of pain in her head. Her mind was somewhat muddled, and despite her accumulated knowledge, she couldn't devise a viable plan.
Unless Dai Yichen was willing to help them, why would he do so for their soul-beast clan?
Seeing the Three-eyed Golden Lion's face pale, Biji and Di Tian were alarmed. Biji quickly enveloped the Three-eyed Golden Lion with her healing power and asked anxiously, "Little Golden Lion, what's wrong?"
The Three-eyed Golden Lion improved under Biji's healing. It shook its head and said, "I'm fine; I just had a sudden headache. I'll be okay after some rest."
Biji and Di Tian exchanged concerned glances.
Di Tian turned to look at the center of the Lake of Life, his eyes unfocused as if lost in thought. He sighed inwardly. The injury sustained by the Silver Dragon King had originated from the gods, damaging her essence, and ordinary healing medicines were ineffective.
Biji's healing wouldn't benefit the Silver Dragon King; curing her would likely require a god-level powerhouse, or else she would only recover slowly in the Lake of Life.
However, based on the Three-eyed Golden Lion's commentary, he understood that he couldn't remain near the Lake of Life indefinitely. He hadn't ventured out for a long time. It was time to explore various regions of the continent, connect with other fierce beasts, exchange knowledge about the fate of the soul-beast clan, and observe how human society had developed.
