Chapter 448 Speculations about 100,000-Year-Old Soul Beasts.
The Pope's Hall within the Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong sat on the Pope's throne, looking at the three kneeling figures below—Yan, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena, the three members of the Golden Generation who had been defeated by the Shrek Eight Monsters five years prior. On either side sat the two Title Douluos, Chrysanthemum and Ghost.
"Not bad. After five years, you've finally improved somewhat."
Bibi Dong sat on her throne, appearing slightly languid. Looking at the three who had returned with their soul rings, although she said they had improved, her gaze remained unmoved when it swept over Yan and Xie Yue. Only when her gaze fell upon Hu Liena did she show a hint of satisfaction.
It turned out that a month ago, the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall had all broken through to level sixty, and then the two Title Douluos, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, led the three to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for soul rings, only returning now. They had also obtained some other information.
"Elders, didn't you just say you had something else to report?" Bibi Dong waved her hand, dismissing the rest of the Spirit Hall's irrelevant personnel, and then inquired.
"Tell me in detail now."
"Yes, Your Holiness." Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance, then bowed respectfully to Bibi Dong.
"Your Holiness, when we went to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for spirit rings, an extremely shocking scene occurred."
"Oh?" Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed slightly. "Tell me, what exactly happened? What caused two Title Douluos to be so shocked?"
"As we were returning, a huge meteorite fell from the sky deep within the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Meteorite?" Upon hearing these two words, Bibi Dong's expression hardened. "Ghost Douluo, I ask you, how does the power of that meteorite compare to yours? Also, was this meteorite a deliberate act, or did it fall naturally?"
After all, natural disasters like meteorites are manageable if they happen naturally; they won't cause much of an impact.
But if it's man-made, and not by members of their Spirit Hall, then its use would be an extremely unstable and uncertain factor for their future plans.
"The power of that meteorite is no less than my full-force attack. As for whether it was man-made, I truly don't know."
After listening to Ghost's words, Bibi Dong pondered carefully. Although Ghost was an agility-type Title Douluo, his attack power was only slightly stronger than a peak-stage power-type Soul Douluo. However, if it were used against a meteorite, this method wouldn't be a concern in a one-on-one fight, but once used on the battlefield…
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong's gaze turned to Yue Guan.
Seeing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo understood Bibi Dong's meaning and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Your Holiness, the origin of that meteorite is indeed difficult for me and Old Ghost to investigate. But if you ask me, it is very likely caused by natural causes."
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
"After all, the method of bringing down a meteorite is too shocking. So I think..."
"Hmph!" Before Chrysanthemum Douluo could finish speaking, Bibi Dong suddenly stood up, and a cold snort came from her mouth. Immediately afterward, a powerful aura swept over. Without hesitation, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo immediately knelt on one knee.
"I beg Your Holiness's forgiveness."
"Forgiveness?" Bibi Dong's aura was unrestrained. "Do you know how much impact it would have on the future plans of my Spirit Hall if this was not caused by natural causes but by human intervention!?"
"Your Holiness, we have something else to report!"
Under Bibi Dong's pressure, Ghost Douluo said with a stiff upper lip. Then, Yue Guan chimed in, "And this happened when the meteorite was falling."
"Hmm." Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong pondered for a moment, then temporarily withdrew her oppressive aura and sat back down on her throne.
"Tell me, what happened next?"
Seeing this, Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo breathed a sigh of relief. Then, maintaining his kneeling posture, he reported, "When the meteorite fell, the auras of two or three Title Douluo-level beings appeared, and they joined forces to destroy the falling meteorite..."
"You mean to say that those two or three auras might be soul beasts?"
Before Ghost Douluo could finish speaking, Bibi Dong had already anticipated what he was about to say.
"Exactly." At this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo said, "In the depths of that Star Dou Great Forest, almost no one dares to enter, so the possibility of it being a Soul Master is too small. Moreover, what Old Ghost and I heard at the time was a beast's roar. If it were a human Soul Master..."
"So you mean, even if that meteorite was man-made, it was still the work of a Soul Beast?"
Facing Bibi Dong's deep gaze, the two Douluos, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, didn't even dare to raise their heads and answered, "Exactly."
"Then tell me, what kind of Soul Beast has such ability?"
As soon as Bibi Dong asked, Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluos exchanged a glance and gave their answer, "A 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape!"
"Oh?" Bibi Dong got up again and walked down the steps.
"The legendary King of the Star Dou Great Forest?"
"Yes. I'm afraid that roar was from it, and only it possesses such power. Old Ghost and I were too afraid to investigate because we sensed that aura."
"Is that so?" Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes gleamed, but she muttered to herself, "Could this King of the Forest, the Titan Giant Ape, be related to that escaped remnant from over a decade ago?"
"Your Majesty?" The two Douluo couldn't help but probe.
In fact, the two Douluo, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, had already heard Bibi Dong's whisper. They knew very well what the Pope meant by the remnant—it was a small 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast that had escaped when they were hunting for the Pope's ninth soul ring.
And then...
"Alright, we'll discuss this later." Bibi Dong waved her hand dismissively. "You two, step back and prepare for the Soul Hunting Operation a few days from now. This is of utmost importance and cannot be neglected."
"Yes." The two Douluo exchanged a glance, knowing what to say and what not to say at this moment.
They then withdrew, leaving Bibi Dong alone.
"The King of the Forest? I might go and take a look later; perhaps I'll find a place for my second spirit ring."
Bibi Dong gradually composed herself. "The Soul Hunting Operation is a major reshuffling of established powers. Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School, prepare for your annihilation!"
However, Bibi Dong then frowned slightly. "But speaking of which, were the arrangements made beforehand sufficient to deal with these two established sects?"
