"What did you say!"
Di Tian, who stood there like a tall wall, heard Lu Yuan's words and his pupils instantly constricted. He couldn't control his aura, and it instantly swept out in all directions.
Even though he was invincible below Super Douluo, Lu Yuan still retreated several steps, lightning crackling around him, before he slowly stopped.
"Is the information really accurate? Tell me, what exactly is going on?"
Di Tian was completely flustered, and his gaze towards Lu Yuan was filled with urgency.
He had always blamed the God Realm for the inability to become a god, but now he inexplicably had a bad premonition.
With his understanding of the God King of Destruction, if the other party truly said that Spirit Beasts becoming gods had nothing to do with the God Realm, then there would be absolutely no room for doubt.
A high and mighty God King had no need to deceive him, a mere Dragon God attendant in the past. Moreover, with the dignity of a powerhouse like a God King, he wouldn't stoop to lying for such a matter.
After all, in the eyes of a powerhouse like the God of Destruction, the Spirit Beast Clan on the Douluo Continent was even less significant than insects in the God Realm, mere small fry that could be dealt with at will.
"I found a special area in the Extreme North Land that contained Thunder God Power. It was there that I met Ice Empress and Snow Empress. When I was absorbing the power contained within it, they personally witnessed the God of Destruction."
"And they personally heard from the God of Destruction that the inability of Spirit Beasts to become gods had nothing to do with the God Realm."
Since Lu Yuan had decided to tell Di Tian about this, he naturally didn't intend to hide anything, but it was limited to informing Di Tian and the others that Spirit Beasts' inability to become gods had nothing to do with the God Realm.
It wasn't that Lu Yuan was selfish, or even holding out for a better price; it was simply that he couldn't tell Di Tian the truth directly.
What was the truth? That Spirit Beasts' inability to become gods had nothing to do with the God Realm, but was entirely because the Dragon God had lost his mind and set this rule himself before his death, even writing it into the various planes of the Universe?
Then what would Di Tian be? A complete and utter clown?
He revered the Dragon God so much, and was so proud to be a member of the Dragon Clan.
But what about the truth?
The inability to become a god was entirely decided by the Dragon God himself, and it seemed he hadn't even completely fallen, hiding somewhere, perhaps secretly watching everything at any time.
Moreover, even if Lu Yuan really told Di Tian the truth, he might not believe Lu Yuan.
Therefore, it was better not to tell Di Tian the truth for now. Later, when he became stronger, he would take them to personally witness the culprit who had brought the Spirit Beast Clan to its current state.
"With the pride of the God of Destruction, he would never lie about something like this. So, the current predicament of our Spirit Beast Clan really isn't caused by the God Realm?"
"Behind all of this, is there a mastermind?"
Di Tian was extremely sharp and instantly reacted. Without any concealment, he immediately told Lu Yuan all of his conjectures!
"Probably so."
Lu Yuan nodded. He really couldn't bear to tell this diligent worker that the ultimate culprit was the Dragon God he revered the most.
"Hiss... No, I must inform the Lord about this matter. Regarding your seventh spirit ring, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a while!"
Di Tian immediately turned and intended to leave. This matter was of great importance, and he had to inform the Lord in time and discuss with him how to deal with it as soon as possible.
"Actually, there's no need to wait. To be honest, if possible, what I want for my seventh spirit ring is him!"
Di Tian looked in the direction Lu Yuan pointed and immediately saw the innocent-looking Heavenly Dream Ice Worm.
Seeing this Ice Worm, which he had been using as a power bank to improve his cultivation, being eyed by Lu Yuan, Di Tian couldn't help but show some surprise.
But then, thinking of the special nature of the human seventh spirit ring, he immediately nodded.
"For you humans, this useless creature is indeed the most suitable spirit ring for you!"
"However, even you, I imagine, can't forcibly absorb this Ice Worm, can you!"
"Its cultivation has already approached a million years. The energy contained within its body is something even I am far from matching. If it weren't for its complete lack of offensive power, its terrifying mental force alone would be enough to surpass Evil Emperor and Ice Empress, ranking as the number one Vicious Beast below me!"
Although Di Tian looked down on the Heavenly Dream Ice Worm, he had to admit the immense energy contained within its body.
And this vast energy was definitely not something the current Lu Yuan could absorb. Even for a ninth spirit ring, it might only be barely absorbable!
"I have a way to make him willingly offer sacrifice, so Di Tian, do you agree?"
Lu Yuan looked at Di Tian, a hint of expectation on his face.
"Naturally. If you can really make this guy offer sacrifice, then go ahead and do it."
"This Venerable has no reason to stop you. You are a Genius valued by the Lord, the future of Spirit Beasts. It's just a mere Ice Worm with no offensive power; if you want it, just take it."
The existence of the Heavenly Dream Ice Worm could indeed allow his group of Vicious Beasts to quickly improve their cultivation, but at their level, a 10,000-year or even 50,000-year increase in cultivation didn't have much impact on their combat power.
It was better to let it exert its maximum value, becoming Lu Yuan's spirit ring, allowing this human youth valued by the Lord to grow up as quickly as possible. Only then could the remaining Sword Qi of the Asura God in the Lord be dispelled as soon as possible.
"Lu Yuan, you actually have your eyes on me?"
"You really have good taste, much better taste than that stinky black Dragon, Di Tian."
"But how do you plan to convince me? Why should I offer sacrifice to you!"
The Heavenly Dream Ice Worm was not far away, and naturally heard the conversation between Lu Yuan and Di Tian.
Immediately, he twisted his plump body and spoke to Lu Yuan.
He had been captured by Di Tian at the Lake of Life hundreds of years ago and had always been used as a power bank. His heart was filled with disgust and anger towards these Vicious Beasts of the Lake of Life.
Now, he naturally had no good impression of Lu Yuan.
Although Lu Yuan's talent was astonishing, and he was deeply valued by the existence at the bottom of the lake, what did that have to do with him?
Better to live a bad life than die well. Perhaps in the future, he would have a chance to escape!
Although Di Tian and his group were absorbing him, at least they wouldn't kill him. Offering sacrifice to Lu Yuan meant truly being gone forever!
"Don't be so absolute. What if I have a way to help you store your Soul, allowing you to survive in a special way?"
"And assist you in resurrecting after I become a god!"
Lu Yuan had no ill will towards the Heavenly Dream Ice Worm, and even felt a bit of admiration.
So, for this nearly million-year-old Spirit Beast, he immediately spoke about his idea.
This was a wisdom spirit ring, allowing Heavenly Dream to offer sacrifice to him in the form of a spirit Soul!
