"He's not human?!"
The Titan Giant Ape froze mid-strike, its massive palm stopping just inches from Ye Han's face.
"BOOM—!"
The resulting shockwave made Ye Han's robes whip violently around him as countless trees were uprooted and sent flying for miles.
"If he's not human, then what is he? A spirit beast in human form?" The Titan Giant Ape's thunderous voice rumbled with suspicion. "But his aura feels completely human!"
Xiao Wu glanced back at Ye Han before quickly explaining: "Er Ming, don't be rude! He's a divine beast god descended from the heavens to revive our spirit beast kin!"
The giant ape stiffened, then scrutinized Ye Han even more intensely. "Lies! Sister Xiao Wu, you've been tricked by this cunning human! Unless he can prove it!"
Before Xiao Wu could respond, Ye Han stepped forward, adopting the majestic demeanor of the Dragon God:
"You dare question me, insignificant ape? Extend your hand - I shall let you feel my divine power!"
Insulted, the Titan Giant Ape snorted twin jets of steam from its flaring nostrils, massive fists pounding together. "If this is a trick, I'll flatten you with one punch!"
Yet it reluctantly extended a palm.
Ye Han didn't hesitate - he placed his hand against the massive paw, activating the Dragon God's Essence.
"Hummm—!"
A warm energy flooded through the Titan Giant Ape's body, an unprecedented sensation of comfort and power. Its eyes widened in shock - could this truly be...?
"Now do you believe?" Ye Han demanded imperiously.
Xiao Wu, worried her master might lose patience, hastily added: "Er Ming! Bow to the Beast God at once!"
But the giant ape shook its head stubbornly. "No! Big Brother must confirm this first! Even if he is divine... I won't submit blindly!"
Though simple, it wasn't entirely foolish - years of human treachery had taught it caution.
"Er Ming, you—!" Xiao Wu fumed. Since when did her little brother doubt her authority? Even Big Brother respected her as the eldest!
Ye Han restrained her with a gesture. "Very well. Lead us to your elder. The truth shall be revealed."
Still suspicious, the Titan Giant Ape lowered its hand to let them board.
"Ah~ Master~" Xiao Wu cooed as Ye Han swept her into his arms to jump aboard.
The giant ape huffed jealously. If Big Brother declared this human a fraud, it would personally pound him into paste for daring to touch Sister Xiao Wu!
The Heart of the Forest
The ground trembled as they traveled, soon arriving at the legendary Life Lake.
Though merely a hundred meters across, its mirror-like surface perfectly reflected the surrounding emerald forest, creating breathtaking scenery as breezes rippled the water.
"So this is Life Lake..." Ye Han murmured, recognizing it from descriptions.
"ROAR—!"
Suddenly the lake erupted as something massive stirred beneath. The Sky Azure Bull Python had awakened, sensing their approach.
A gargantuan serpentine form emerged - a creature with a bull's head and python's body, five times larger than the Titan Giant Ape, radiating terrifying pressure.
"The Forest Emperor... Sky Azure Bull Python," Ye Han whispered, eyes hardening. This was one of the beasts that had killed Ling Yuan in the original timeline.
"Big Brother!" Xiao Wu called excitedly, having missed her old friend during nine years away.
"Sister Xiao Wu? You've returned?" The deep voice vibrated through the air until the creature spotted Ye Han. "Explain this!"
An invisible pressure blanketed the entire forest, making even the trees shiver.
The Titan Giant Ape quickly recounted events while letting its elder sense Ye Han's unusual aura.
"Hiss—!" The bull python recoiled in shock, then studied Ye Han intently. "You are... extraordinary. But extraordinary doesn't mean divine. Can you offer further proof of being our Beast God?"
Both colossal beasts stared expectantly. Failure to convince would mean instant annihilation.
Ye Han simply smiled. Xiao Wu remained calm - with her master's twin godly spirits and divine external spirit bone, how could they doubt?
"Then witness truth!"
With a commanding shout, Ye Han released his twin spirits.
"ROOOAR—!"
Twin earthshaking draconic cries split the heavens as the Light and Dark Dragon Kings materialized - each as massive as the Titan Giant Ape, their scintillating scales radiating holy brilliance, wings blotting out the sun.
"BOOOOM—!"
The entire forest quaked under their descent, sending panicked spirit beasts fleeing in all directions.
"This... this can't be!" The two forest kings gaped in awe.
"The legendary sons of the Dragon God!" the bull python whispered reverently. "Light and Dark Dragon Kings!"
All skepticism vanished from its eyes, replaced by devout reverence. It began lowering its head in worship when—
"Wait!" The stubborn Titan Giant Ape interrupted. "T-two dragon spirits are impressive! But your spirit power's only level fifty! Unless... unless you show us more, I won't accept you!"
The bull python immediately moved to chastise its foolish sibling, while Xiao Wu fumed at this disobedience.
But Ye Han only smirked. He'd anticipated this.
"Since you insist..." He leapt skyward, spirit energy surging as the Frostflame Dragon Wings erupted from his back.
