I've already been given the title of Douluo, and you want me to be reasonable?

Lin Yuan put one hand behind his back, looked at the two 100,000-year-old soul beasts in front of him, and slowly said, "I'm here to choose a 100,000-year-old soul beast for Lingling."

Upon hearing that they were searching for a soul beast for Ye Lingling, Xiao Wu, the Azure Bull Python, and the Titan Giant Ape all froze in place, hardly believing their ears.

Is it possible...

Does this guy want to kill them?

The Titan Ape immediately blocked Xiao Wu's path, glaring fiercely at Lin Yuan, a cold glint flashing in its eyes.

"What do you want to do?"

Xiao Wu also looked sad, clearly understanding that her only fate was to become Ye Lingling's or Zhu Zhuqing's soul ring and soul bone.

Ye Lingling also looked towards the teacher's seat, seemingly puzzled that Xiao Wu had become her friend, after all, they were already quite good friends.

Ye Lingling clearly couldn't accept the idea of ​​Xiao Wu becoming her soul ring and soul bone.
Lin Yuan shrugged, looked at the two 100,000-year-old soul beasts in front of him, and said calmly, "Don't worry, I haven't thought about taking action against you. After all, I haven't thought about it because of Brother Di Tian."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu, the Azure Bull Python, and the Titan Giant Ape all visibly breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Lin Yuan would directly attack them.

Canglong Shangque landed steadily on the ground, transforming into human form, and looked at the soul beast and Xiao Wu in front of him.

It should be noted that after a soul beast transforms into human form, it will give up its 100,000-year soul beast cultivation. Therefore, most soul beasts do not want to give up their strength and will not choose to transform into human form.

However, if a soul beast that has undergone human transformation can break through to level 70, it can truly become a human and may even be chosen by a god-level powerhouse.

This is also the only way for soul beasts to achieve immortality.

Unless they possess unimaginable power and can break the rule set by the Dragon God that soul beasts cannot become gods.

After the Dragon God War, the Divine Realm Council issued the rule that "Soul Beasts cannot become gods." On one hand, the human God King wanted to maintain his power and prevent more powerful Soul Beasts like the Dragon God from challenging his rule.

On the other hand, there is the fear of the unknown. The God Kings worry that after the Soul Beasts become gods, they will not be able to fully control the world.

In addition, the prejudice of the human god-king also played a role, as they believed that soul beasts were inferior beings and unworthy of enjoying the same status as humans.

The Dragon God was corrupted by the will of destruction because he attempted to elevate the Dragon God Realm to a god star, and almost destroyed the god realm.

After regaining consciousness, he asked the God of Asura to kill him and made a will stipulating that no soul beast in the human realm should ascend to godhood until his successor returned to the divine realm.

Because soul beasts are inherently ferocious, without the Dragon God's suppression, they might cause another catastrophe.

Soul beasts lack an understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, and are generally born without high intelligence, making them unable to absorb innate energy, which restricts their development.

In terms of the path to godhood, most of the beast gods have perished, and it is very difficult for soul beasts to become gods by inheriting the gods. Moreover, their understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is flawed, and without the guidance of gods, it is almost impossible for them to create their own gods and enter the God Realm.

Therefore, only by becoming human can one truly break free from this constraint.

Lin Yuan said softly, "Lingling, Zhuqing, let me take you to the place where I used to live. I just don't know how it is now."

"Teacher, you actually lived here?"

Lin Yuan nodded. He had come to the Star Dou Great Forest during his previous training and created a secluded bamboo forest there.

I wonder what's happened there all these years ago. Xiao Wu pursed her immature lips and slowly asked, "Can I go with you?"

Lin Yuan glanced at Xiao Wu, but did not refuse. After handing over the matter to Canglong for discussion, he led Xiao Wu, Ye Lingling, and the others to fly away into the distance.

…………

Hundreds of kilometers away from Xinghu Lake, the area is no longer a dense forest.

Instead, there is a deep bamboo forest, like a richly colored painting, perfectly blending the vitality and energy of nature.

Sunlight filters through the dense bamboo leaves, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow on the ground, making one feel as if they are in a fairy tale world.

Deep in the bamboo forest, lush greenery abounds.

The bamboo groves, arranged at varying heights, resemble a green screen, giving people a sense of tranquility and mystery.

Lin Yuan gazed at the bamboo forest before him, a hint of reminiscence on his face. He thought back to when he first came here and worked hard to cultivate, which led to his current level of cultivation.

Ye Lingling felt as if she were back home, running happily through the bamboo forest. It seemed that she had never felt so relaxed and carefree in all these years.

Lin Yuan was also aware of this.

The Heavenly Dou Empire is filled with endless cycles of deceit and treachery, which makes Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing feel heavy-hearted and even tired of that kind of life. Only such a pleasant landscape is suitable for their lives.

Ye Lingling took off her shoes, revealing her flawless white feet, and gently placed them in the cool lake water, feeling the small fish nibbling at her toes.

Lin Yuan sat down next to Ye Lingling, took the wine gourd from his waist, took a sip, and said softly, "After you finish dealing with the affairs of the Heavenly Dou Empire, your master will lead you to cultivate here."

"really?"

Ye Lingling immediately turned around and looked at the teacher in front of her, her star-like eyes sparkling.

When has your teacher ever lied to you?

Lin Yuan gently rubbed Ye Lingling's head. The two lay on the ground, gazing up at the azure sky, quietly enjoying the comfort of the breeze on their cheeks.

Ye Lingling nestled in Lin Yuan's arms like a little bird, resting her head on his shoulder, and said softly, "Teacher, when do you think... we can stay here forever?"

"We will definitely be able to do it within thirty years."

As long as Ye Lingling obtains the inheritance of her Goddess of Life, they will no longer need to interfere in the affairs of Douluo Continent.

After all, the Divine Realm Committee clearly stipulates that no god-level powerhouse may interfere in the affairs of the mortal world.

Ye Lingling gently rubbed her pretty face against Lin Yuan's chest, closed her eyes, and felt the beating of her teacher's heart. It seemed that with her teacher by her side, no matter how dangerous the road ahead might be, she would not have any complaints.

Lin Yuan lay on Ye Lingling's lap, closed his eyes, and planned to rest for a while before searching for other 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

Just then, Lin Yuan seemed to sense a special energy reverberating in the area, and then he turned his head slightly to look at the depths of the bamboo forest.
