Douluo Continent: The Butterfly, Starting from the Authority of Death

"Things are moving in a positive direction!"

Xia Die stood by the window, a gentle breeze ruffling her silver-purple hair.

Outside the window, a bustling and prosperous scene unfolds, with cars and people moving about peacefully.

As a metropolis with a permanent population of 800 million, even the inner city of the imperial city is constantly bustling with people.

Xia Die rested her hands on the window, feeling the breeze blowing in from it.

It dispersed many of my troubled thoughts.

"Evil spirit masters have appeared; Shrek Academy has come to Star Luo City."

"So, Polycia's appearance really caused too much of a stir?"

In a city of millions, people die every day due to various factors, while others are in a state of near death.

The nearly week-long "dark night" allowed life, which was nearing death and exhausted, to catch its breath and extend its lifespan.

If this weren't Xingluo City.

As the second largest city in the Douluo Continent, it is home to a double-digit number of Title Douluos.

It'll probably get even more chaotic!

Xia Die smoothed the bangs that were covering her eyes.

"call--"

She exhaled a soft breath and stepped to the snow-white wall on one side of the house.

Gently press down on the wall to activate the signal bell.

"Beep beep—"

The button made a loud sound.

A moment later, Xia Die sensed life fluctuations in the corridor and approached it.

"Miss Xia Die".

"Knock knock knock"

There was a gentle knock on the door.

"The door's unlocked, come in!"

The door opened, and a woman who looked to be around thirty years old walked in, dressed in a black and gray outfit that resembled that of a housekeeper.

She first bowed to Xia Die before saying, "Miss Xia Die, if you feel uncomfortable, we will immediately prepare a new place for you."

"No need," Xia Die gently shook her head. "This place is fine; there's no need to change seats."

"Ms. Mo, I need your help with something."

Xia Die pointed to the soul tool, and two sheets of paper filled with information appeared in her hand. She handed them to the housekeeper in front of her.

"Here is a list of medicinal herbs, and also some metals that I need."

"Get it ready and bring it over before noon tomorrow."

"Yes."

The woman accepted the order and left, and Xia Die's deep gaze returned to calm.

Gaining someone's trust over a long period of time is not enough; a princess is ultimately just a princess, not an emperor.

If she wants greater convenience, she has to give up something strategically important.

Waving a big flag is still just waving a big flag.

Her own situation, and even Electrolux's, is quite delicate.

What they encountered in the Star Dou Great Forest was not the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, nor a demon spirit, nor the arrogant and powerful spiritual force that led them to attack the two beasts with their spiritual power. Instead, they encountered Xiong Jun, this simpleton. One swipe of his claw would have been enough to end their lives.

She needs the Star Luo Empire to protect her, to protect her with all its might.

At least, until she has enough power to protect herself.

And the Holy Spirit Cult...

Xiaodie didn't want to go there.

Xia Die also did not want Wang Xian'er to expose her superficial understanding of death abilities, as she had mentioned before.

Shrek Academy might be pressured by the righteous faction to reluctantly admit that Wang Xian'er is not an evil soul master, despite her original reputation.

But what about the Holy Spirit Cult?

At that time, those who come to the Star Luo Empire will not be ordinary titled Douluo.

Rather, it's someone like Zhongli Wu, or even someone like Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui.

The Star Luo Empire is definitely doomed.

……

Starry Sky Forest.

The secret space at the bottom of the Lake of Life.

Di Tian held the three-eyed golden lion and stood in front of the silver dragon.

The dragon was over a thousand meters long, its scales shimmering and reflecting the surrounding scenery.

"My lord." Di Tian bowed slightly, his voice neither noisy nor heavy, more like the cautious way one would disturb a leader's lunch break.

As the sound reached him, the silver dragon slowly opened its closed eyes.

The oppressive aura of a deity slowly descended upon Emperor Tian.

Sensing this violent divine power, Di Tian's face lit up with excitement.

The Lord's strength has been restored more than the last time we met.

"What is it?"

The dragon's mouth emitted a delicate, feminine voice, but its imposing aura deterred anyone from giving it any further thought.

"I would like to ask you to check on the condition of the auspicious beast."

"A mythical beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion?" The dragon's eyes gradually cleared from their daze as she glanced at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in Di Tian's hand.

"reason."

The dragon's voice was devoid of any anger or rage.

His purple eyes were filled with the light of wisdom.

"The auspicious beast's soul appeared at two different frequencies, but I checked several times and found nothing."

Emperor Tian nodded, not daring to meet the dragon's gaze.

He was once the Dragon God's protector, and is now the Beast God.

It's truly irresponsible of someone to not notice what the auspicious beast has done.

"I see."

The dragon's body gradually shrank, its kilometer-long form rapidly condensing.

Finally, she transformed into a woman with silver hair, a graceful figure, and a long dress that reached the ground.

"You suspect that a deity has harmed the auspicious beast?"

As expected of our lord.

Di Tian was filled with emotion.

With just a few words, the Silver Dragon King guessed the purpose of his trip.

Is this the embodiment of the Dragon God's wisdom?

It was indeed terrifying.

"Yes." Di Tian quickly regained his composure and nodded slightly. "One of our ferocious beasts gave me this answer after sacrificing itself for a human. It was something that the human told it and confirmed."

"Humans, sacrifice?" Gu Yuena frowned.

"Tell me the whole story, don't miss a single detail." Gu Yuena didn't know why the topic of soul beast sacrifice came up, but she wisely believed that this matter was definitely not simple.

"It's like this, my lord..."

Di Tian summarized what he had seen and heard, as well as the intelligence information that the Demon King had gathered, and then recounted it in detail.

Gu Yuena listened carefully to Di Tian's explanation.

Her brows gradually furrowed.

"So, all of this was told to it by that human?" Gu Yuena asked. "And it might just be passing this information on to you?"

"Yes." Di Tian nodded. "A very strange human."

"Of all the humans I've ever met, none have been able to do what she did. Even Moon, hailed as Shrek's once-in-a-millennium genius, couldn't have done it."

A Soul Master with only one Soul Ring goes head-to-head with a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast.

It even defeated two at once.

"The power of death," Gu Yuena mused.

"My lord..."

Seeing Gu Yuena deep in thought, Di Tian hesitated to speak.

"never mind."

Gu Yuena shook her head.

The auspicious beast that Di Tian had knocked unconscious floated towards Gu Yuena's direction.

Gu Yuena grabbed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion by the neck with one hand and placed the other hand on its forehead.

A powerful divine sense instantly flowed into the three-eyed golden lion's spiritual sea.

Even though Di Tian was once the Dragon God's guardian, he is now just a soul beast.

They don't even possess divine sense, but Gu Yuena is different.

Even severely wounded, she remains a deity.

What Di Tian could discover, she could discover; what Di Tian could not discover, she could also discover.

This is something that Gu Yuena, as a half-dragon god, possessing both wisdom and beauty, is confident about.
