Jiang Wanyu smiled slightly when he heard what Xiong Jun said. Sometimes, soul beasts are really much purer than humans.
They believe in the law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest, and are very barbaric. But at least someone as strong as Mr. Bear would not hesitate to sacrifice his life for a bet, a promise, or a future.
"However, I hope you can keep your promise and clear the way for our soul beasts. This is my request to you..."
Xiong Jun thought about the last two words again and again before they came out of his mouth.
When these two words came out, even Di Tian was surprised. You know, the Xiong Jun, who had been proud all his life, was an existence that even he was not convinced of.
Now, he actually bowed to a human being and even begged?
Di Tian could understand Xiong Jun's thoughts. For the future of soul beasts, their lives existed for this, so although Xiong Jun's defeat was surprising, his subsequent agreement was expected.
Now, he seemed to know Mr. Xiong again.
The other ferocious beasts also looked at the Bear King with surprise.
"What are you looking at?! What's so good about it?!"
"I, Kuma-kun, am a man of my words, a man of my words!"
"That's like a nail in the mouth..."
Jiang Wanyu corrected the problem.
"Don't worry about it. Anyway, as long as you promise to complete what you said, I can sacrifice myself to you right now!"
Xiong Jun turned his head away and didn't look at the crowd, but the emotions in his eyes were complicated.
There is reluctance, sadness, and determination.
"…I can also offer sacrifice to you."
At this time, Di Tian spoke, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he dropped the bomb!
"I hope I can become your seventh or ninth spirit ring, so that the age of my spirit ring can be perfectly stimulated and reflected."
Di Tian spoke slowly and told his plan.
"Di Tian, you..."
Brigitte looked at Di Tian, wanting him to take back his promise, because Di Tian was their most important backbone besides their master.
If the other party sacrifices themselves, then how should these ferocious beasts cope with the situation?
So they disagree.
Unfortunately, Di Tian had made up his mind. He did not answer Brigitte, but just stared at Jiang Wanyu, waiting for his answer.
"I promise you, Jiang Wanyu, I swear on my martial spirit that after you sacrifice yourself, I will do my utmost to pave the way forward for the Soul Beast Clan!"
"If you don't do as I say, then I am willing to suffer the consequences at the cost of my shattered spirit!"
"Alright! Then I, like Mr. Bear, am willing to sacrifice myself to you. When the time comes, just come find me!"
Di Tian heard Jiang Wanyu's reply, agreed with satisfaction, made a promise directly, and told Jiang Wanyu to come to him.
"Don't worry, there's still at least a year left. When the time is right, I'll come find you."
Jiang Wanyu was not in a hurry to obtain their spirit rings. He would try to go to the Far North later to see if he could convince Xue Nu and the others.
The three kings of the Far North, the Snow Girl, the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion and the Titan Snow Ape, can all be absorbed.
The former has a time limit, those in the middle can try to obtain Ice Explosion, and the latter's positioning is similar to Behemoth.
Together with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, there are a total of six soul rings. Before that, you can choose Zi Ji or Chi Wang. In this way, the soul ring positions are completed.
"Okay, you can always come to us if you need anything."
Di Tian transformed into the image of a middle-aged man, walked in front of Jiang Wanyu and stretched out his hand.
"I heard this is a gesture of cooperation among you humans. I wish us happy cooperation in the future."
Jiang Wanyu smiled slightly. She didn't expect that Di Tian was so up-to-date and fond of learning.
So he also extended his hand, shook Di Tian's, and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you."
On the other side, the Silver Dragon King watched this scene in silence.
"I hope... my decision was the right one."
"Once I find the Golden Dragon King, I can completely control the fate of the entire soul beast clan in my own hands."
…
After Jiang Wanyu left the underground space of the Lake of Life, the weather was just right, but he felt that he was not as happy as he had imagined.
Inexplicably, he looked at the clouds in the sky, and his thoughts drifted away with the breeze.
…
At the original site of Xiaoshi Village, there are still some nostalgic villagers living here, who occasionally return to their original place of residence to live for a period of time.
Therefore, Xiaoshi Village is still inhabited and has not been abandoned.
Jiang Wanyu concealed his presence and walked into the village. He wanted to see where he used to live.
As I walked, looking at the village around me which had not changed much, memories began to flood back.
Here I picked vegetables with Aunt Li, here Uncle Shuize and Uncle Huoshu had a fight, here with Grandpa Jiang Tian...
Jiang Wanyu's memories came to an abrupt end. He knew why, but he still had regrets.
Everything went smoothly all the way, but there was still this thorn. This was not the first time he recalled Grandpa Jiang Tian. Especially as he became stronger and had more insights and thoughts, this emotion became more frequent.
After being stopped, he now thought about it again and knew that he had not fully understood life and death.
The missed meeting became his pain.
This life is too long, so long that he has to live his entire life before he can see Jiang Tian.
And if he becomes a god, he can indeed achieve immortality, achieve his goals, and complete the goals he has always pursued.
But along the way, as he continued to gain, he also continued to lose.
On his path of continuous growth, Grandpa Jiang Tian taught him the final lesson, which was about family love and separation.
Before he knew it, Jiang Wanyu arrived at Jiang Tian's grave.
The grave in front of me is small, and the stingy old man seems to be angry and refuses to come to see me in my dream.
Squatting down, he stroked Jiang Tian's stone tablet.
He still remembered that Grandpa Jiang Tian asked him to build a simple grave for him, just a small mound of earth and a piece of wood, which would be enough for him to live in.
But Jiang Wanyu did not obey this time. He set up a protective barrier around the small mound and replaced the wooden board with the stone in Jiang Tian's yard to make a stone tablet.
He wanted Jiang Tian to exist longer and leave his mark on the world a little longer.
Suddenly, he noticed that the words on the stone tablet were a little blurred, so he took out a chisel and began to carve it carefully.
After carefully carving it stroke by stroke and bit by bit, he slumped in front of the tomb, supporting his head and looking at Jiang Tian's tombstone, just like when Jiang Tian told him the story of the soul master when he was a child.
"Grandpa Jiang Tian, you've taught me another lesson. Is this the last time you're asking me to go home and give me some help..."
Jiang Wanyu muttered to himself, his eyes becoming moist.
Yes, as long as I am alive, I will always remember Grandpa Jiang Tian. This is the best way.
This also made me more determined on my own path and clearer about myself.
"I will, I definitely will!"
