In the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, towering ancient trees surrounded the area, exuding an indescribable aura.
Faint silver light converged, and immense majesty shrouded the sky, as if a god had descended.
Di Tian, the king of the Star Dou Great Forest, slowly knelt on one knee, lowering his noble head and respectfully said, "Master."
The Titan Giant Ape prostrated itself, and the Azure Bull Python lay prone in the mud. At this moment, they felt that this Star Dou Great Forest, so familiar to them, was so strange.
Xiao Wu's face showed a hint of struggle. The pride she had developed at Shrek Academy made her somewhat unwilling to kneel to others. Back then, in the finals of the Soul Master Competition, the Shrek Seven Devils had not knelt to the Pope.
However, under the increasingly intense pressure, she ultimately had to yield, kneeling on both knees with her forehead touching the ground.
Only the Three-Eyed Golden Lion remained standing aside, curiously looking at the faint silver light. Neither Di Tian nor "Master" showed any dissatisfaction with its behavior. Everyone doted on this little princess of the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Di Tian, what is it?" A cold yet majestic voice echoed, coming from all directions.
Di Tian explained his purpose: "The Auspicious Beast has seen some revelations of fate, indicating that within twenty years, soul beasts will face a catastrophe.
"I have already met the human who brings destruction in the prophecy. He is not as powerful as I imagined, but the Auspicious Beast is still uneasy.
"This little rabbit once went to human society and had contact with that person. I am here to ask Master what to do next."
The cold, majestic voice said, "You want to launch a beast tide and attack the human kingdoms?"
"Yes, Master," Di Tian admitted.
"Don't do that. I told you, I am severely injured. Before I recover, soul beasts do not have the power to counterattack humans. Those guys are all watching. Tell me everything you know, starting with the little rabbit."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu immediately told "Master" everything she knew about Amon, and also mentioned the anomalies that had occurred earlier in the outer areas of the Star Dou Great Forest, near Spirit Hall City.
The mysterious "Master" did not answer immediately, seemingly in thought. After a moment, the cold, majestic voice finally sounded again:
"Di Tian, pay close attention to the movements in the Star Dou Great Forest. Make all soul beasts cooperate. Once you find this human named 'Amon' in the Star Dou Great Forest, report it immediately, and you all go and kill him. Don't worry too much. The Star Dou Great Forest's fortune is not so fragile that it can be extinguished by just any human."
"Master's" voice seemed to carry a hint of fatigue as she said:
"Di Tian, I leave it to you. I need to sleep to recover from my injuries. Do not disturb me unless there is a special situation."
With that, the silver light disappeared, and the immense majesty that shrouded the sky dissipated. The feeling of oppression in Xiao Wu, Azure Bull Python, and Titan Giant Ape's hearts gradually receded, and they dared to raise their heads.
Di Tian looked at Xiao Wu and said, "Little rabbit, since the Auspicious Beast says that your fate is intertwined with that human, it is very likely that he is targeting you, wanting to hunt you as a soul ring.
"The Auspicious Beast said the time is twenty years. During these twenty years, you will stay near the Lake of Life and go nowhere. We will ensure your safety."
Twenty years, wouldn't that mean she couldn't see Brother San? Xiao Wu opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing Di Tian's unquestionable expression, she swallowed everything back and nodded.
For soul beasts, twenty years is not long, just a blink of an eye, but for humans, twenty years is a considerable amount of time.
I wonder what Brother San will be like in twenty years. Will he still remember me? Or will he have already fallen in love with someone else? Will he come to find me? But the current Star Dou Great Forest is not what it used to be. What if he encounters danger?
Xiao Wu was lost in thought, her heart filled with complex emotions.
Her complicated mood did not last long before it was replaced by fear. Her beautiful eyes widened, and she mechanically turned her head slowly. With just one glance, she collapsed to the ground.
Darkness so dense that it was almost tangible rose, covering the sky. Di Tian suddenly revealed his soul beast form, transforming into a huge black dragon.
The surface of its slender body was covered with neat and orderly dragon scales, backward-curving horns, sharp claws, pointed fangs, and jagged bone spurs, all demonstrating its power and terror.
The giant dragon spread its wings, and its golden eyes emitted a monstrous ferocity. It let out a roar that echoed throughout the entire Star Dou Great Forest.
From the various forbidden areas of the Star Dou Great Forest, roars rose and fell, echoing the summons of this soul beast monarch.
"Ten Thousand Devil Monarch, Bear King, Scarlet King, transmit my decree..."
An order was transmitted in all directions with the roar...
"Ugh..." Watching the forest boil, the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger on the edge let out a soft whimper. Even it felt fear from Di Tian's roar.
However, in its eyes, besides fear, there was also an unspeakable ferocity and ambition.
Near Spirit Hall City, after Amon's main body received the message from his clone, he raised his right hand, pinched his monocle, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Tsk, I've been noticed... But this is exactly what I wanted. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to find the Auspicious Beast..."
Amon had already decided to make the Three-Eyed Golden Lion his sixth soul ring target.
Although it would be more appropriate to obtain the power of fate when he was about to advance to Soul Douluo, the current Three-Eyed Golden Lion only had five thousand years of cultivation. Even if it was placed in the eighth soul ring, the ability it brought would not be much stronger.
And he couldn't find a soul beast with a higher cultivation related to fate, so he had to adjust the order and place it in the sixth ring.
Because of the special nature of the Auspicious Beast, a five-thousand-year-old Auspicious Beast could provide a soul ring equivalent to fifty thousand years. Placing it in the sixth ring would be appropriate.
Amon did not plan to act now. It would be too difficult to succeed with the Auspicious Beast being guarded by Di Tian and other ferocious beasts.
He planned to wait two or three years before acting.
In the original story, Tang San came out of the City of Slaughter in about four years. Now, because of his intervention, there was a butterfly effect, adding a 'power amplification right arm bone' compared to the original, and the progress might be advanced, but not by much.
Because 'Gehrman Sparrow' in the City of Slaughter would intervene to control Tang San's progress.
The number of Amon's avatars basically grew at an exponential rate, which was his most powerful and terrifying ability!
The growth rate of the number of avatars was very slow in the early stages, but the faster it grew in the later stages.
At the beginning of the transmigration, he split into four avatars with half a soul. After that, approximately every year, the souls of these half-soul avatars would be repaired to about one-tenth of a soul, and they could be split again into two half-soul avatars.
Waiting in Frost Leaf City for five years was not only for Yan Jin, but more importantly, he needed time to accumulate avatars!
Because the growth rate of avatars was slow in the early stage, the death of one would have a huge impact on the later stages, and no carelessness was allowed.
These five years were also his most peaceful five years, and even the avatars lived honestly and kept to themselves.
Initially, there were 4 avatars, then 8 after a year, 16 after two years, 32 after three years, 64 after four years, and 128 after five years.
Due to various reasons, the number of avatars was slightly higher than this, but not by much.
Subsequently, he went to North Earth City and studied at North Earth Advanced Soul Master Academy. Because of the increase in the number of avatars, he could do some slightly less dangerous arrangements.
After another two years, he obtained the immortal herb 'Soul Solidifying Flower' at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. After taking the Soul Solidifying Flower, the soul's resilience was improved, and the soul share required to carry consciousness was only about half of the original. Amon's avatars instantly doubled.
Moreover, due to the special influence of the 'Soul Solidifying Flower', the speed at which Amon's soul was replenished was further improved, but the magnitude was not significant.
In the hunting of Hai Yun, he lost more than a hundred avatars. In addition, there were sacrifices in the battle with Dugu Bo, as well as various accidents that led to the loss of avatars. However, under Amon's caution, the losses from these small accidents were not many.
His current total number of avatars was around two thousand one hundred.
Excluding the avatars left in North Earth, Sunset Forest, City of Slaughter, and other relatively distant locations, the number of avatars that could be used around the main body was currently about 2,000.
If all 2,000 avatars were pressed on, he could barely launch a not-so-well-prepared hunt, but this was too risky. If he failed, he would have to spend a lot of time accumulating avatars again, which violated Amon's cautious style.
Three years... In three years, Amon could use more than fifteen thousand avatars to encircle and kill the Auspicious Beast. At that time, even with the interference of Di Tian and other ferocious beasts, Amon would have a greater chance of success.
Even if he still failed, he would have enough avatars as a foundation to avoid a complete defeat and start over.
The revelation of fate to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was not wrong. If Amon's growth rate was not restricted, he would turn most of the soul beasts into resources to enhance his strength in less than twenty years, plunging them into a desperate situation of extinction.
Moreover, this was based on the premise that Amon's strength did not increase much!
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion could get revelations from fate, and Amon himself naturally had a premonition of this situation.
In fact, this time, gathering the avatars and entering the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul rings at the same time was a test of the ferocious beasts and the Auspicious Beast.
To see if they had noticed his latent threat. If not, Amon would deliberately make them aware.
Compared to the danger of the ferocious beasts counterattacking, Amon was more concerned about the whereabouts of the Auspicious Beast. He had quite strict requirements for soul rings, and he would not easily change his mind once he had selected one.
Therefore, he was willing to use himself as bait to lure out the Auspicious Beast, and that was why he deliberately had a clone appear in front of Di Tian.
Only by stirring up the Star Dou Great Forest and making the ferocious beasts ignore the protection of the Auspicious Beast for other reasons could Amon find an opportunity to attack the Auspicious Beast.
