Douluo Continent: Gourmet Prisoner

More than ten thousand years have passed since Tang Shenwang became a god. Since then, no god has descended on the Douluo Continent, and the Limit Douluo is the pinnacle of combat power in the world.

The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian, ​​with his unparalleled strength, firmly holds the position of the strongest person on the continent. As for the sleeping Silver Dragon King, he is not only little known, but his astonishing wisdom is no less than that of the Tang God King.

In the inner circle of the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiong Jun looked at the plump, white ice silkworm in front of him, sighed softly, and rubbed his forehead: "Di Tian, ​​how come this little insect has such good fortune? All it does is eat and sleep all day, yet it has managed to cultivate into a million-year-old soul beast."

"Fortune and misfortune are intertwined," Di Tian said indifferently. "Look at him, in the end, didn't he still fall into our hands?"

"That's true," Xiong Jun licked his lips. "Just absorbing his soul power every day can improve one's cultivation level. I never dared to dream of such a life before."

"Can't you give me some beast rights?! Ice Silkworm is a soul beast too, okay?!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm twisted its body anxiously, its words filled with despair.

"Shut up! Food has no right to resist!" Di Tian and Xiong Jun said in unison, their tone carrying an undeniable authority.

"God! Please send a meteorite to kill me!" Tianmeng gave up struggling and cried out in agony.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sky in the inner circle of the Star Dou Great Forest suddenly changed dramatically.

The once calm sea of ​​clouds surged wildly. As the dark clouds gathered, a "meteorite" suddenly pierced through the clouds, leaving a huge hole in the sky. With a piercing sound, it hurtled towards Di Tian and Xiong Jun.

"Be careful!" Di Tian's eyes narrowed, and he and Xiong Jun attacked at the same time.

The Dragon God Claw, imbued with dragon might, tore through the air, while the Sky-Rending Claw, flashing with cold light, slashed through the void, both claws striking the "meteorite" simultaneously.

With a loud bang, the "meteorite" disintegrated in mid-air, and a giant, lustrous egg flew out from the fragments, which Di Tian firmly grasped in his palm.

In an instant, an indescribable, rich fragrance emanated from the egg, spreading outwards along Di Tian's claw.

The aroma seemed to contain the ultimate temptation of life, arousing the instinctive appetite of all the soul beasts within a hundred miles. Even Di Tian, ​​the leader of the ferocious beasts, couldn't help but drool with envy.

"What kind of egg is this?" Di Tian was shocked. "Why does it smell so strange? I can even sense that if I eat it, my dragon bloodline might undergo a qualitative evolution!"

"Ahem, Uncle Ditian, what smells so good?" A pretty figure rushed over; it was none other than the Emperor's Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Her bright, lively eyes were fixed on Di Tian's palm, her little nose twitching incessantly, she was so hungry she couldn't find her way around.

"I don't know, but it must be a hundred times more nourishing than that ice silkworm," Di Tian replied calmly.

"Hey! I'm still here! Can you please stop discussing how to eat other 'foods' in front of me?!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was so angry that she jumped up and down, but she could only watch helplessly as everyone ignored her.

"Food, enough nonsense!" Di Tian coldly rebuked.

"The Ice Silkworm really has no rights as a beast!" Tianmeng was on the verge of tears.

"Lord Xiong," Di Tian said in a deep voice, "go and summon all the soul beasts in the inner circle that are over 100,000 years old. We need to discuss how to handle this egg together."

"No need, Di Tian, ​​we've arrived." Several powerful auras rapidly approached, and the Demon King, Bi Ji, the Crimson King, and other ferocious beasts appeared, their gazes all drawn to the giant egg in Di Tian's claw. "What's happening here? This fragrance..."

"A meteorite fell from the sky, and after it shattered, this egg was formed. The fragrance is coming from it," Di Tian explained.

"Such a divine creature, why don't we just share it!" Xiong Jun rubbed his enormous paws together, his eyes filled with greed. "I can sense that if I eat it, I might be able to break through my current bloodline limitations and evolve into the legendary Behemoth!"

Upon hearing this, a flicker of interest flashed in Di Tian's eyes. Such an opportunity to trigger bloodline evolution was a fatal temptation for any soul beast.

"No!" Brigitte hurriedly interjected, her tone urgent. "This egg clearly contains life; how can we just eat a soul beast that hasn't even been born yet?"

"Why not?" Xiong Jun retorted. "The law of the jungle is the rule of the soul beast world!"

"Alright," Di Tian raised his hand to stop the argument, "Let's decide by vote. Those who agree to eat the egg, stand with Xiong Jun; those who want to keep it, stand with Bi Ji."

As soon as he finished speaking, Di Tian took the lead and stood next to Xiong Jun.

The allure of such bloodline evolution is ultimately hard to resist.

The other spirit beasts that arrived later were mostly attracted by the exotic fragrance and the opportunity for evolution, and flocked to Xiong Jun's side. Only a few gentle spirit beasts chose to support Bi Ji, and the voting results were obvious.

"In that case, let's get started! I can't wait!" Xiong Jun rubbed his hands together, his eyes burning with excitement.

Di Tian spread his claws and placed the giant egg on the open ground in front of him, then commanded the Crimson King, "Crimson King, roast it with your flames."

The Crimson King nodded and opened his mouth to spew out a ball of blazing flame that enveloped the giant egg.

However, the moment the flames touched the eggshell, an extremely terrifying pressure suddenly erupted!

This oppressive force, centered on the giant egg, swept outwards like a tsunami, carrying the absolute majesty of a top predator, causing all the soul beasts to feel a fear originating from the depths of their souls.

Pfft!Pfft!

Countless soul beasts knelt down on the spot, trembling, not even having the courage to raise their heads.

Even ferocious beasts like Di Tian and Xiong Jun were stiffened by this pressure, their limbs trembled uncontrollably, and their soul power was almost disrupted.

After a long time, the terrifying pressure slowly dissipated.

The kneeling soul beasts stood up shakily, and Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts finally recovered, their faces still showing disbelief and shock.

"Old Bear... why do I feel like I wasn't preparing to eat it, but rather being placed on the dining table?" Bear swallowed, his tone filled with lingering fear.

"This egg is no ordinary thing," the Demon King exclaimed, his eyes filled with solemnity.

"So now... should we still deal with it?" The Crimson King, who had just faced the oppressive aura, still trembled as he looked at the giant egg with awe.

"Leave this egg here." Just then, a clear and ethereal female voice rang in everyone's minds, carrying an undeniable authority.

"My lord! You're awake?" Upon hearing this, Di Tian and the others immediately bowed and paid their respects with utmost deference.

"Hmm," the Silver Dragon King's voice slowly came, "that oppressive aura just now awakened me from my slumber."

"All soul beasts, step back. We'll leave this place to Di Tian and the others."

Upon receiving the order, the spirit beasts dared not hesitate for a moment, and dispersed to return to their respective territories.

"My lord, your injuries..." Di Tian asked with concern.

"I am not fully recovered yet," the Silver Dragon King's voice carried a hint of weariness. "I will continue to slumber, and everything here is in your hands."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Di Tian replied respectfully.

After a long while, the Silver Dragon King's aura completely subsided, clearly indicating that he had fallen into a deep sleep once again.

Di Tian withdrew his gaze and turned to the ferocious beasts beside him: "Alright, disperse. Those who need to absorb silkworms, absorb them; those who need to do their business, do your business."

"Ice Silkworms have no rights!" The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's wail rang out again, but still no one paid any attention.

Unseen by them, beneath the surface of the Star Dou Great Forest, strands of pure energy were quietly gathering, slowly circulating around the mysterious giant egg. The entire forest's ecosystem was undergoing astonishing changes in a subtle way...
