Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 185 Emperor's Auspicious Beast Notes
I am the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. The Beast God and the Crimson King Bear Lord of the Star Dou Great Forest all call me the Imperial Auspicious Beast.

They say that I was born carrying the destiny of the entire Star Dou Great Forest, and am the only beast of destiny in the history of the continent.

As long as I am in the Star Dou Great Forest, my presence can double the growth rate of all the soul beasts in the forest, and double the probability of a 100,000-year-old soul beast breaking through its bottleneck.

The Beast God once told me that if I, the Emperor Beast, were to die, the Star Dou Great Forest would lose its protection, and it would also cause a sharp drop in the breeding efficiency of soul beasts, a sharp decrease in the probability of high-level soul beasts breaking through, and a series of adverse reactions such as ecological collapse.

At first, I didn't realize my importance, but later I gradually understood that I was an auspicious omen for the Star Dou Great Forest, and a part of its rules.

Hmph, so the Beast Gods regard me as a supreme being they must protect, but I am not happy at all, because all the soul beasts are afraid of me and they are unwilling to be my friends.

Well, it's a bit difficult to make friends among spirit beasts. In the most cases I've seen since I gained intelligence, the relationships between spirit beasts are based on a survival-of-the-fittest dynamic.

At first, I didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Whether from the perspective of the soul beasts or from the oral traditions of Uncle Red King and others, the essence of humans hunting soul beasts and soul beasts killing each other is the same: it's all a competition for survival.

But those soul beasts, they feared me, dreaded me, as if I were some unapproachable being.

At first, I didn't actually want to hunt them because they were too weak. As an imperial auspicious beast, I didn't lack resources for cultivation.

Although the Beast God and the others said that hunting down soul beasts weaker than themselves is the natural law, as natural as predators hunting for prey, I really dislike this cruel and primitive rule. In my opinion, it is a kind of rule of shackles.

But gradually, my understanding changed. Under the guidance of the Beast God and the Crimson King, I learned that as an auspicious beast, I must uphold the law of the jungle.

I started bullying those ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts who bullied the weak, preventing them from harming the weaker soul beasts. I felt I was righteous, but actually I didn't understand what righteousness meant.

But when I see those high-level soul beasts swaggering around in some clan, bullying the weak with their strength, I get really angry. I want them to experience what it feels like to be bullied.

It felt great, and gradually I became addicted to it. Watching those ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts flee in panic as I chased them was quite amusing.

Among these soul beasts, there were many that were close to 100,000 years old, but when they saw me, they acted as if Blue Silver Grass had seen Soft Bone Rabbit, as if they had encountered their natural enemy.

The Beast God and the others said, "I am an auspicious beast from the Star Dou Great Forest, so as long as they are not core combatants at the 100,000-year level, I can toy with them at will."

Teasing, I've learned another good word. Although I only have 15,000 years of lifespan, I am special and unique. The Beast God and the others say that my combat power is no weaker than that of ordinary soul beasts with 100,000 years of lifespan.

Moreover, even soul beasts that are 100,000 years old do not dare to resist me when they see me, as if that is how it should be.

But why?
Isn't this competition? Isn't this the law of nature? Why don't they rebel?
Gradually, I started to find it a bit boring. Bullying those ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts was one of the few games I played to pass the time. Apart from that, I spent most of my time sleeping.

I cannot leave the Star Dou Great Forest because the Beast God and the others said that the outside world is very dangerous, and that humans and soul beasts are mortal enemies. If they find out my identity, they will definitely hurt me.

Many spirit beasts become human spirit rings after leaving the core area, and can no longer run freely in the forest.

I believe what the Beast God and the others said.

However, sometimes I feel that the Beast Gods are too good to me, like... Anyway, it's very strange. I wonder if the Beast Gods are so good to me because I am an auspicious beast, because of my ancient bloodline and auspicious power, or because of some other reason.

I had a vague suspicion, but I didn't dare to look at it directly, because I suddenly realized that my core value lay only in my function of benefiting the soul beast race. It was for this reason that those soul beasts revered me, because they feared the existence of the Beast God and the others.

However, this thought did not last long. I still felt that the Beast Gods regarded me as family, and that our relationship was based on emotional bonds.

I found Biji, the gentlest of all the spirit beasts. Through her, I learned a lot about the human world, which sparked my deep curiosity about humans.

Sometimes I wonder if I could temporarily escape the Starry Sky Forest and go out into the human world to see how humans live and the stories Brigitte tells.

Compared to her doubts about her relationship with the Beast Gods, this thought grew stronger and stronger, like the Blue Silver Grass that kept taking root and spreading across the continent, gradually taking root and sprouting deep in her heart.

One day, I discovered something interesting: the Beast God addressed a person as his master, and that master took on the appearance of a human and was sent out of the Star Dou Great Forest by Di Tian.

The fact that such a powerful being as the Beast God was merely a servant is simply unbelievable, and this discovery has me incredibly excited.

I finally found something interesting. I didn't make a fuss, but began to observe the Beast God's actions. I discovered that he frequently traveled between the Star Dou Great Forest and the human world, seemingly harboring some unspeakable secret.

I watched all of this unfold. When did the Beast God start acting so frequently? It seemed to have been after that bell a few years ago, but I wasn't sure. I continued to observe.

Every time the Beast God appears, I pretend to be asleep, but I'm not sleepy at all. In fact, I intentionally or unintentionally chase after those ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, all in order to get closer to the outside world.

If it weren't for Uncle Red King secretly protecting me, I would definitely sneak out, find out about the Beast God, and then tell Biji and Ziji everything.

The Beast God went out again. I was so bored. This time I really wanted to sleep. But just as I closed my eyes, a long spear suddenly fell from the sky.

I felt a strange guidance, a feeling that came from my ability to perceive the trajectory of fate. This spear seemed to resonate with my bloodline.

I picked it up and wanted to ask the Beast God what it was, but the Beast God had just left not long ago, so I gave up on that idea for the time being.

Then, the Red King appeared and said he was worried about my safety. Well, actually, a long spear suddenly falling from the sky without any of the beasts noticing was a bit frightening.

Then I discovered something interesting: this spear can only be used by me.

Because Uncle Red King huffed and puffed for a long time, and all three heads showed incredulous expressions, he didn't use the spear at all, and even had a lot of his life force absorbed.

This is indeed a reward from heaven for me, because I am an auspicious beast, I think, but I'm still not sure.

The Red King said that they would study what this was properly after the Beast God returned.

So sleepy~~
I didn't want to sleep, but the spear made me feel very comfortable, and I gradually fell asleep. My luck seemed to be changing as well.

The Beast God returned, but I was still very sleepy. Then the Beast God examined my body. I didn't know what happened, but I knew that the Beast God glanced at the sky and then left again, preoccupied with his thoughts.

I think the Beast God must have gone to see that person called the Lord. Next, should I meet her?

Never mind, let’s get some sleep first.

The diary entry ends; let's rewind to the present.

Just as Huo Yuhao was cleaning up the mess and preparing to head to the Star Dou Great Forest to confront the Golden Dragon Spear,

In a certain area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, the Emperor Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion, which had been sleeping ever since Di Tian last met Gu Yuena in Mingdu, inexplicably felt a strange sense of being connected by fate.

She woke up feeling refreshed and suddenly realized she wasn't sleepy at all, a feeling that left her completely bewildered.

"Strange, why do I feel a strange destiny descending upon me? What's going on?"

Nearly a year has passed since that golden spear last descended upon her, and this is yet another time she has felt a change in the trajectory of fate.

She slowly got up, looked at the sky, and a strange sense of anxiety made her lose the will to sleep.

During this time, she felt that she had changed a lot, but apart from bloodline and fortune, she couldn't say exactly where it was.

This feeling is like having a brand new consciousness that has integrated into oneself without interfering with one's current personality and soul.

Is it just my imagination?

Then he looked at the long spear beside him. Perhaps it was all because of this spear.

But the Beast God and the others clearly said that this spear was a divine weapon bestowed upon them by the heavens, and it shouldn't cause them to change.
