Chapter 578 Di Tian's Unwilling Memories
In Di Tian's memory, the strategist was a man of great talent, with unparalleled talent in martial arts and a vision that transcended his time in terms of wisdom. Di Tian was originally his closest comrade-in-arms.
He single-handedly orchestrated the current structure of the Star Dou Great Forest and established the rule of the Soul Beast Organization.
Di Tian had selectively forgotten this person's name, and even his memory of his appearance was only a vague image of a small blade of grass.
"The Spirit Blossom Grass is no longer available in the Starry Sky." Di Tian raised his head and sighed softly.
"Spirit Blossom Grass?!"
The ferocious beasts were not far from Di Tian, and their strength was extraordinary, so they all heard Di Tian's whisper.
Apart from Biji and Ziji, who wore expressions of confusion, the remaining ferocious beasts had various expressions on their faces.
The Crimson King and the demon spirit actually miss the wicked Spirit Blossom Grass that had lured them here back then.
The Demon King's face was gloomy. It lowered its head, hiding its expression in the shadows. To this day, it still harbored a deep lingering fear of that Spirit-Blooming Grass.
Even fear. To this day, it still doesn't understand why the strategist was able to see through its origins and purpose at a glance, even though it had hidden itself so well that even Di Tian didn't know its origins.
It must be handled with absolute caution, and there should be no witnesses.
A fierce fighting spirit burned in Xiong Jun's eyes; after all, that was a Spirit Blossom Grass that knew how to box!
Looking at the expressions of the ferocious beasts around her, Biji quickly realized that the Spirit Blossom Grass that Di Tian mentioned was something that happened before she joined this Soul Beast Organization.
If we follow the order in which they joined Di Tianmo, Bi Ji was the last one, and she even joined later than Zi Ji. Naturally, she didn't know that a "Spirit Blossom Grass" existed in the organization.
"Then I'll leave this matter to you, strategist." Di Tian emphasized the last two words before his figure vanished into thin air.
The demon spirit paused for a moment, then knelt on one knee and bowed, "Yes, Beast God."
The ferocious beasts immediately sprang into action. Without the constraints of the human world, the Soul Beast Organization operated at an extremely fast pace.
In less than an hour, the vigilance over the Star Dou Great Forest was completed.
The anomalies inside the Star Dou Great Forest were unknown to human organizations outside. Only a few small hunting groups wondered why the outer soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest had suddenly become so scarce.
The next day, at the Lake of Life.
"The human pawns we've bribed have sent people to Shrek Academy to inquire about the auspicious beasts. They should arrive at Shrek Academy in about a day." The demon spirit held a rectangular tray-like soul tool in its hand and read out the message displayed on it.
Di Tian sat on a huge rock on the lake, holding two smooth pebbles in his left hand and turning them over repeatedly.
"Strategist, do these people have a way to infiltrate Shrek Academy and find out about the auspicious beast?" Di Tian asked.
"I can only let them investigate slowly based on this year's freshmen at Shrek Academy. I don't know what kind of human the auspicious beast has transformed into, nor do I know its alias," the demon spirit hesitated for a moment before answering truthfully.
Di Tian casually placed the pebble in his hand beside him, rubbed his temples, and jumped off the stone.
The story of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's departure happened while they were in seclusion, and the Lord told him about it later.
For this, Emperor Tian bears an inescapable responsibility.
After a long silence, Di Tian asked, "Is there any way, strategist?"
He couldn't appear directly at Shrek Academy; if he were within a kilometer of Shrek City, he would be detected by the human bathed in light.
During the last beast tide incident, Di Tian signed an agreement with Shrek Academy, prohibiting them from approaching Shrek City.
"Yes, based on my observation and understanding of auspicious beasts, the human form that an auspicious beast transforms into must be a beautiful person, and the human martial soul it simulates must be from an extremely powerful race, possibly even unique to the entire Shrek Academy. Based on these three points, we can eliminate nearly two-thirds of the new students." The demon spirit threw the square soul tool in his hand into his shadow.
"Okay, let me know as soon as you hear anything." Di Tian put his hands behind his back, turned around to face the Lake of Life, his expression still carrying a hint of gloom.
It wasn't aimed at the demon spirit, but rather at the soul tool in the demon spirit's possession.
Human-developed soul tools are becoming increasingly powerful, and Di Tian can no longer ignore this aspect of human power.
"Also, let's inform Biji, since she's the one closest to the auspicious beast," Di Tian added.
"I will. Promise me a great reward, and the humans will reply soon," the demon spirit replied, turning to leave.
"You've worked hard, strategist. Those iron contraptions of humans must be very difficult to learn, right?" Di Tian said.
The demon spirit paused for a moment, glanced back at Di Tian, and tugged at his hood. "It's quite simple, but I don't know how to teach it. If he were here, it might be a little easier."
The demon deliberately avoided uttering the words "strategist." Having served as Di Tian's right-hand man for thousands of years, he knew that these were words Di Tian was unwilling to face.
As for the reason, he didn't know either, since the two of them had a pretty good relationship back then.
"Yes, if only he were here, but Yao Ling, he can't come back. He is the god of our opposite!" Di Tian said slowly, his golden dragon eyes bursting with dazzling light, and two pebbles he casually placed were crushed into nothingness by an invisible force.
"In any group, there will always be two factions. I have always believed that the strategist is a good person." After the demon spirit finished speaking, its figure gradually sank into the shadow on the ground and quietly disappeared.
In Di Tian's perception, the demon spirit was gone in a few seconds.
Looking at the lake water brimming with emerald green life energy, Di Tian walked to the shore and looked down at his reflection in the lake.
"No matter what, I don't want you to come back. It's enough for the Lord to have me by his side," Di Tian said in a voice only he could hear.
But after he finished speaking, a hint of confusion appeared in Di Tian's eyes.
"Since when did I develop such a prejudice against the strategist?" Di Tian asked himself.
Is it because of the strategist's divine status?
Or is it because the strategist has completely stolen the emperor's attention?
Or perhaps it's because with a strategist present, there's no need for him to appear at all.
The Soul Beast Organization, in the end, was established by the strategist.
Di Tian chuckled self-deprecatingly. He, the mighty Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, was actually afraid of becoming a marginal figure.
"When did it begin? It began when the dragon race perished."
After the dragon clan was defeated by the despicable villains of the divine realm, his clansmen were reduced to ashes, and his title as clan leader became a joke.
The latest novel is first published here!
If he can't protect his people, then at least he can stand in front of his lord now. This is the last thing he can do as a dragon, and he doesn't want to lose even that right.
So, I apologize, strategist.
A lakeside cottage.
"Demon spirit, have you come here because the Beast God has given you another order?" Bi Ji asked.
The demon spirit nodded and said, "The Beast God told me to inform you if I had any news about auspicious beasts, so I came to let you know in advance."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for coming all this way. Have a cup of tea." Brigitte took two small cups from the tray on the table, and with a flick of her finger, a stream of water full of life appeared out of thin air.
The demon spirit didn't stand on ceremony with Bi Ji, walked to the table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
"Brewing tea is a common way to entertain guests in the human world, but pouring too much tea is not a good sign; it means the guest is being asked to leave," the spirit said casually.
"Huh? I didn't know. The little fox only taught me that it's best to serve tea to guests. I'll have to catch him and give him a little punishment next time. He didn't explain things clearly." Brigitte covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes filled with longing.
"I only have a vague understanding myself, as someone else taught me. I'm quite curious, is the little fox you mentioned, Biji, a soul beast of Xingdou?" Yao Ling asked curiously. He had information about Xingdou, but he had no idea that there was a fox clan soul beast that knew about the human world.
This kind of knowledge is something one would likely not know without experiencing the human world firsthand.
However, very few fox-type soul beasts have reached the conditions for transformation, and the few that exist are all under their control. They have never seen Biji before.
"It's a little fox from somewhere else. It's soft and looks like you'd want to hug it and rub its tail hard." Brigitte rested her chin on her hands, her eyes crinkling.
"Soul beasts from other forests," the spirit whispered, repeating it again.
"Hey, spirit, if you've ever seen a pure white nine-tailed fox, it's very likely that's Little Fox. If it's convenient, could you pass on a message for me? Tell him I miss him," Bi Ji said with a smile. It had been several months since she last saw Little Fox.
"A soul beast that dares to venture into the human world is remarkable. If I see one, I will pass on the message. However, the human world is too complicated, and I cannot guarantee anything." The demon spirit smiled slightly.
"Have you ever been to the human world, spirit?" This time it was Brigitte's turn to be curious. She had been to the human world when she first took human form, but it was just a small village. Including her trip to Shrek City last time, it was only her second time entering the human world.
"I have been to many cities built by humans and have seen many, many people. I have drunk loudly in the most prosperous cities and wandered on desolate trails. I have seen the afterglow of the sunset sandwiched between steel buildings and the brilliance of the sunrise on the shore of the sea."
The demon seemed to have regained its talkative nature after a long time, and told Biji about its past experiences.
When Biji learned that the demon spirit actually had another master, and that he and other soul beasts like the Crimson King had been recruited into Emperor Heaven's soul beast organization, she became interested.
"Demon Spirit, can you tell me about the one who established the Soul Beast Organization with the Beast God and became your master?" Bi Ji asked.
"He's a lazy guy who takes on everything himself, likes to say the opposite of what he means but is also very caring. He's always a bit of an eccentric."
When Ye Nanxiao was mentioned, a gentle smile appeared on Yao Ling's face.
"He's a very gentle guy."
