Chapter 532: The Revived Lake of Life

No one knew how much time had passed before the green-gold light that had enveloped the entire Star Dou Great Forest slowly faded.

At the very center of the Star Dou Great Forest, the gazes of several fierce beasts had become dazed.

Before them, the Lake of Life, which had originally been nearly exhausted, was once again filled to capacity; although its life force still fell short of its peak, it was already countless times stronger than before Tang Wulin arrived.

You must know that over these ten thousand years they have tried many times to restore the Lake of Life here, but their efforts were always futile, and in the end they could only watch helplessly as the once vibrant Lake of Life gradually withered away.

Yet at this moment, Tang Wulin alone managed to restore the Lake of Life to such an extent.

This is practically a miracle.

At the center of the Lake of Life, Tang Wulin stood on the water's surface and slowly opened his eyes.

He exhaled deeply, moved his body a little, and while his face showed some fatigue, he also revealed a hint of excitement.

It had been a long time since he had seriously used the power of the Natural Son, and its magnitude far exceeded his expectations.

Although the power of the Natural Son is now inferior to that of the Dragon God, as it was once the main source of Tang Wulin's divine power and helped him break through to Honored Douluo, its power has now fully reached the divine level.

It is precisely because the level of his life-force divine power has reached the divine level that Tang Wulin is able to accomplish this feat.

He took a brief breath, turned around, and looked at the fierce beasts on the shore.

"Alright, although we still cannot completely fill the Lake of Life's deficit, we have at least successfully laid the foundation for its recovery. You must be careful from now on, for the Lake of Life has been restored to this state only because I forcibly infused it with life force. If you do not cherish it, this depletion will come even faster than last time, Emerald Swan."

"Ah! Here!"

Suddenly called out by Tang Wulin, Biji, who was still dazed, quickly responded.

Tang Wulin smiled and said:

"If I recall correctly, your healing methods are also based on life force, so from now on you must use life force to replenish the Lake of Life every day, understood?"

"Yes, yes!"

Biji quickly agreed.

The Lake of Life is extremely important to soul beasts; its importance is comparable to that of the Golden Ancient Tree to Shilake Academy. With it, soul beasts can grow rapidly, and any injuries they sustain can recover extremely quickly.

Tang Wulin's restoration of the Lake of Life undoubtedly helped the soul beasts greatly.

Seeing Biji happily agree with a smiling face, Tang Wulin nodded in satisfaction.

Although Biji is not as strong as he is, she is also one of the few limit Douluo of the life system; with her around, at least daily maintenance would not be a major problem.

Of course, if these soul beasts choose to pay lip service but defy him, refusing to obey his words, then Tang Wulin can only say he is powerless to help.

No one can save a fool.

After a big stretch, Tang Wulin leapt up and jumped from the center of the lake straight to the shore.

He smiled at the few fierce beasts and said, "I just did that; my strength is greatly diminished now. If you want to attack me, now is the best time."

Upon hearing this, all the fierce beasts shook their heads repeatedly, even Bear King quickly hid the ferocity in his eyes.

Originally he had indeed considered this idea, after all Tang Wulin's aura now is obviously much weaker than just moments ago; if all the fierce beasts present swarmed him together, combined with Gu Yue's words, victory might not be impossible.

And if they succeeded in keeping Tang Wulin here, whether letting Gu Yue devour his bloodline or using him to accomplish various tasks, it would be highly appealing.

But upon seeing Tang Wulin's composed and effortless demeanor, Bear King immediately lost his courage.

He recalled the experience of being struck near death by a single move from Tang Wulin, intense fear surged in his heart, and he instantly lost the courage to attack Tang Wulin. Di Tian helplessly said, "You don't need to test us; we're not stupid."

Never mind whether they could jointly defeat the weakened Tang Wulin; he hadn't forgotten that Huo Yutong still stood on Tang Wulin's side.

How powerful she is, he knows better than anyone; even if she only maintained her original strength, it would be enough to deal with all the fierce beasts present.

Di Tian could hardly see any chance of success.

Tang Wulin chuckled, giving Bear King a meaningful glance.

"Hmm, perhaps."

He did not believe that all the fierce beasts possessed intelligence on par with Di Tian's.

Contrary to what Di Tian thought, Tang Wulin is indeed not afraid of them.

Even if his divine power is nearly exhausted, Tang Wulin's physical constitution is not something an ordinary opponent can harm; relying solely on his bodily strength, he is confident he can defeat Bear King.

And Di Tian, who plays with darkness and space attributes, cannot pull off any tricks in front of him; the only variable is likely the Silver Dragon King Gu Yue.

Considering what Na'er said about the Silver Dragon King controlling the seven elements, Tang Wulin felt that Gu Yue was the one who should think about how to break his defenses.

And as long as he can hold out for a moment, Huo Yutong will be able to rush to the rescue.

Just before entering the area of the Lake of Life, he had already informed Huo Yutong in advance, telling her to wait near the Star Dou Great Forest; if the fierce beasts truly dared to launch an attack on him, he wouldn't mind letting a few of them die here.

Tang Wulin looked at Gu Yue and said:

"I can give you a bit more time as a buffer, but after that period passes, you must come with me to meet the leaders of the major powers; we need to discuss what comes next."

Gu Yue pondered for a moment and asked, "Can I bring Di Tian along?"

"Yes."

"Then that's good."

As long as she could bring Di Tian, Gu Yue had no objections.

Even among humans today, no one could forcibly keep Di Tian; if she cooperated with Di Tian, unless Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong took action, at least safety would still be assured.

She asked in a low voice, "What is your plan moving forward?"

Tang Wulin chuckled and said, "Secret."

He indeed had a rough idea about where the soul beasts should go, but whether to implement it, how to do so, and whether it could succeed, are another matter.

He now has extreme distrust toward this bunch of soul beasts who aren't very bright; heaven knows if they'll later do something that angers him, so there's no need to set everything in stone right now.

Anyway, there's still plenty of time; the future is long, so there's no need to rush.

Gu Yue's mouth twitched, and she said helplessly, "Then when will I be able to find out?"

"Hmm..."

Tang Wulin looked into the distance, his eyes flashing with bright light.

"Just wait until my wedding with Huo Yutong ends."

Only a little over three months remain; it's time to begin preparations.
