"Your Majesty… this is?"
Di Tian, the Beast God himself, stared at the towering tree before him that radiated golden light. The entire dragon froze on the spot.
If his memory served him right, this tree was none other than Shrek Academy's Golden Ancient Tree.
Why had Her Majesty suddenly brought the Golden Ancient Tree here?
Di Tian wasn't the only one dumbfounded. The other ferocious beasts present were all staring fixedly at the Golden Ancient Tree, silently wondering what earth-shaking move their sovereign had made this time.
Facing Di Tian's question, Gu Yuena didn't bother to explain in detail. She simply answered vaguely,
"From today onward, the Golden Ancient Tree will become the new auspicious beast of our soul beast race."
"I will transplant it to the very center of the Star Dou Forest, where it will protect the soul beasts there and allow them to grow more rapidly."
The moment these words landed, the expressions of the ferocious beasts instantly became… complicated.
Making the Golden Ancient Tree their new auspicious beast?
Then what about the Three-Eyed Golden Lion?
Had the Three-Eyed Golden Qilin been abandoned?
Unlike the less perceptive ferocious beasts, Di Tian carefully examined the trunk of the Golden Ancient Tree. As the strongest existence of the soul beast race aside from Gu Yuena herself, he could faintly sense the massive fortune contained within it.
Di Tian had raised Di Qiu'er for many years and knew very well that her status as an auspicious beast stemmed from the immense fortune wrapped around her.
Yet even Di Qiu'er—beloved by all the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Forest—could not compare, in terms of fortune, to the Golden Ancient Tree before him.
With the Golden Ancient Tree present, cultivation for the soul beasts of the Star Dou Forest would become significantly easier from now on.
Even for ferocious beasts like themselves, the difficulty of tribulation crossings would be far lower than before.
Realizing this, Di Tian—more than anyone else—couldn't help but reveal an excited expression.
"This is wonderful, Your Majesty! With us here, we will absolutely not allow anyone to damage the Golden Ancient Tree!"
"If the people of Shrek Academy dare try to take it back, then let them come at us with everything they've got!"
After understanding just how enormous the benefits were, the other ferocious beasts also volunteered eagerly, swearing that they would never allow Shrek Academy to reclaim the Golden Ancient Tree.
Gu Yuena was very satisfied with their attitude.
At the very least, her subordinates were generally reliable.
Thinking of the plan Huo Yuhao had mentioned earlier, Gu Yuena's expression turned serious as she looked at Di Tian and spoke in a low voice.
"The matter of the Golden Ancient Tree is settled. From now on, her main body will remain permanently at the center of the Star Dou Forest."
"If any important soul beasts in the forest suffer severe injuries that even Brigitte cannot heal, you may bring them to the Golden Ancient Tree for treatment."
"And there is one more matter."
Gu Yuena slowly swept her gaze across the group.
"You should all be aware that a war has already broken out between the Sun Moon Empire, Shrek Academy, the Clear Sky Sect, and the Holy Spirit Cult."
"This war will determine the future structure of the Douluo Continent—who will become the true ruler."
"Therefore, our soul beast race cannot stay out of it. We must participate!"
Before Gu Yuena could finish speaking, Bear Lord suddenly let out a roar, his face brimming with excitement.
"Understood, Your Majesty! Our soul beast race is the true ruler of the Douluo Continent! We will definitely defeat the Sun Moon Empire and those people from Shrek Academy!"
Gu Yuena's forehead instantly filled with black lines.
She silently took back her earlier thought—her subordinates were not all reliable.
At the very least, Bear Lord was just as brainless as the people from Shrek Academy and the Holy Spirit Cult.
To prevent even more shocking statements from coming out, Gu Yuena immediately interrupted him.
"Shut up! Who said that's what I meant?"
"What I'm saying is this—wait for my command. When I order you to enter the war, you will ally with the Sun Moon Empire and deal with Shrek Academy, the Clear Sky Sect, and the Holy Spirit Cult together!"
As Gu Yuena's words fell, the ferocious beasts couldn't help but laugh. Even Di Tian curled the corner of his mouth slightly.
Bear Lord really was as brainless as ever.
Defeat all factions and make the soul beast race the true ruler of the Douluo Continent? Did he really think it was that simple?
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if—with Gu Yuena present—the soul beast race could actually achieve such a feat…
Once the connection between the God Realm and the Douluo Continent was restored, what awaited the soul beast race would be the wrath and reckoning of the gods.
Given how wary the God Realm was of soul beasts, how could they possibly allow the soul beast race to become the true rulers of the Douluo Continent?
Her Majesty had once said that the key to completely changing the fate of the soul beast race lay with Huo Yuhao.
Even the idea of allying with the Sun Moon Empire was probably Huo Yuhao's plan, wasn't it?
Di Tian cast a subtle glance at Huo Yuhao, then looked back at Gu Yuena with a solemn nod.
"No problem, Your Majesty. When the time comes, I will personally lead the other ferocious beasts to the battlefield immediately. We will absolutely not miss this war!"
Gu Yuena nodded in satisfaction.
Thankfully, there was Di Tian.
Without him, given the "heaven's number one, earth's number two, I'm number three" mentality of these ferocious beasts, the Star Dou Forest might have already followed Shrek Academy down the road to destruction.
With everything explained, Gu Yuena naturally had no intention of remaining in the Star Dou Forest.
For a long time now, she had rarely relaxed and seldom left Huo Yuhao's side.
The reason was simple—to prevent someone from pulling an underhanded move while she wasn't around.
Although Gu Yuena felt that the Snow Empress didn't seem like that kind of person… but what if?
What if the Snow Empress had a moment of impulsiveness, and Huo Yuhao calmly accepted it?
Then wouldn't all the effort Gu Yuena had invested over the years be completely wasted?
After discreetly glancing at Huo Yuhao and the Snow Empress, Gu Yuena turned to Di Tian and the others and said,
"Alright. The moment when the fate of our soul beast race is completely changed is drawing closer and closer."
"I said it back then, and I will say it again—I will fulfill my promise and lead the soul beast race toward a better future!"
As Gu Yuena's voice echoed, whether it was Di Tian, Bear Lord, or Wan Yao King, all of the ferocious beasts unconsciously held their breath, their hearts filled with anticipation for the future she had described.
