Chapter 305: The Passage of Time
In the video, after absorbing the white tiger's memories and gaining a basic understanding of this world, the golden horned behemoth decided to gather more information. It needed deeper intelligence to avoid making overconfident mistakes due to insufficient knowledge.
After all, the hundred year old white tiger soul beast, despite having some intelligence, was no more than a five or six year old child mentally. Most of its memories were still governed by animal instincts rather than rational thought.
The white tiger's memories alone were unreliable. Some information might be incomplete, distorted, or even outright incorrect. The behemoth knew that if it truly wanted accurate intelligence, it needed to absorb the memories of humans instead.
The Evolution of Douluo Star
The forest where the golden horned behemoth landed was once a small soul beast reserve, originally established by Spirit Hall to breed and manage soul beasts.
However, ever since the rise of Spirit Ring Masters and the eventual dominance of Contract Masters, humans no longer needed to hunt soul beasts.
This reserve had long since been abandoned.
In today's world, coexistence between humans and soul beasts was the dominant ideology.
Anyone who spoke against soul beasts, advocating things like "They are not of our kind, they must have ill intentions" or "Beasts will always be beasts", would immediately be labeled a spy for the Abyss.
Their entire family history would be thoroughly investigated.
Even if they were proven innocent, their record would remain permanently tainted, and they would never be trusted again.
The Soul Beast Revolution
Currently, one of the three ruling God Kings was Silver Dragon King, the supreme leader of all soul beasts.
On top of that, many high level soul beasts had achieved godhood over the years.
Soul beasts had grown into a powerful, undeniable force.
Under these circumstances, any anti soul beast policies would be utterly foolish.
Besides, in today's world, soul beasts no longer produced spirit rings or soul bones.
Before leaving, the former Lord of White Cloud City, Ye Cheng, completely revised Douluo Star's natural laws, erasing the remnants of the God Realm's influence and abolishing the old Spirit Master system.
It was no secret that spirit rings and soul bones were originally artificial constructs imposed by the God Realm to keep soul beasts in check.
After all
Why would a soul beast's body naturally produce items beneficial to its predators?
Why did soul bones always resemble human bones?
It was obvious.
It was all a deliberate control mechanism.
Now that those restrictions were erased, soul beasts could freely evolve, no longer trapped by unnatural rank limitations or forced into contracts to escape divine tribulations.
Of course, even though contracting with humans was no longer necessary, many soul beasts still willingly entered contracts.
Not only did contracts increase their intelligence, but they also provided many practical benefits.
Now, soul beasts were fully integrated into human society.
A New World Order
The video shifted to a bustling metropolis.
Everywhere on the streets, humans and soul beasts walked side by side, completely accustomed to each other's presence.
Even high level intelligent soul beasts casually roamed the city streets, blending seamlessly into human civilization.
At this moment, the golden horned behemoth, having used its shapeshifting ability, had transformed into an ordinary spotted cat soul beast.
Slowly, it walked through the crowded streets, blending in perfectly.
Upon leaving the soul beast reserve, it had already absorbed the memories of several humans, filling in its knowledge gaps about modern Douluo Star.
However
Those humans were not high ranking officials.
Thus, they had no access to crucial intelligence about the world's true power structure.
The behemoth still lacked key information.
A Predator in Disguise
'Where should I go next to acquire better intelligence?'
The golden horned behemoth pondered as it gracefully strolled through the city, maintaining its facade as an ordinary spotted cat soul beast.
Its objective had never changed
To consume Douluo Star, evolve, and ultimately reach maturity, at which point it could dominate the universe and act as it pleased.
However, before that
It needed to understand one crucial mystery.
'That terrifying attack that nearly reduced me to cosmic dust…'
'If I don't figure out where that power came from, there's no chance of consuming this world.'
The Behemoth's Misconception
According to the memories it absorbed, the three ruling God Kings were supposed to be at its level
Which meant
In a direct battle, it could easily crush them.
However
That mysterious attack from before was far beyond the God King level.
'Does this world secretly have another, hidden powerhouse?'
It couldn't figure it out.
Something was missing.
If the behemoth had known the truth
That the three God Kings were now severely weakened, and that the attack could no longer be used
It would have immediately revealed its true form and started devouring the planet without hesitation.
But because of its lack of information, it remained cautious, opting to gather intel instead.
This information gap had granted Douluo Star a temporary reprieve.
Livestream Chat Reactions
[Thank god this thing doesn't know how weak the God Kings are right now.]
[Seriously! It could literally destroy the planet at any moment, but it's too scared to act because of the Flying Rainbow Sword.]
[LOL, turns out this "all powerful" behemoth isn't as smart as we thought!]
[Haha, yeah! It's basically acting like a paranoid idiot.]
The livestream audience erupted in laughter.
To them, this was no longer a real crisis, but rather an entertaining drama.
A False Sense of Security
Most ordinary people didn't worry too much about the future.
From their perspective, the events in the video were still far, far away
Distant disasters that may not even happen in their lifetimes.
Deep Abyss invasions? Planetary behemoths?
That was a problem for future generations.
As far as they were concerned
They were safe.
For now.
Only those with long lifespans, like Titled Douluos or those aiming for godhood, felt any real concern about the looming threats.
For the average person?
This was just another show to enjoy.
Nothing more.
