Chapter 108: Su Yu Under House Arrest

~14 min read 2,673 words

Just as Xuan Lao was about to haggle, a deep voice came from within the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Human, if you wish to die, this King can grant your wish."

Is this Di Tian?

The moment this thought arose, a tyrannical power instantly formed an unrivaled, powerful pressure, and the entire Star Dou Great Forest was trembling because of it.

Setting aside the final Huo Yuhao, Di Tian could be said to be the strongest combat power in this era of the Douluo Continent.

Xuan Lao was also someone who feared nothing, "If you have the ability, feel free to try and strike!"

However, do you think he is truly that badass? No, in fact, he just didn't know the Beast that came was Di Tian. If Di Tian's true form had appeared, and if the Imperial Auspicious Beast were not in Xuan Lao's hands, he would definitely have beaten Xuan Lao up.

"Enough, you may leave, but the youth beside you must stay behind. I, Di Tian, guarantee in my name that this matter will end here." Di Tian's voice came again; this time, he actually wanted to keep Su Yu.

Xuan Lao's expression grew tense once more; he knew exactly what kind of powerful strength the other party possessed. "That is likely impossible. He is a disciple of my Shrek, and he absolutely cannot be handed over to you."

"Rest assured, we will not harm him. I, Di Tian, guarantee it with my reputation. You may leave; I will let bygones be bygones regarding this matter."

A middle-aged man slowly walked out, mist condensing; he was dressed in black with long hair draped over his shoulders. Except for Xuan Lao and Su Yu, no one could see his face clearly.

This is the Beast God, this is the strongest among the Soul Beasts, Di Tian!

Actually, the most interesting thing is not Di Tian's background, but his other identities: Di-Columbus-Tian, Di-Copernicus-Tian, Di-Galileo-Tian...

Even Di-Wegener-Tian...

Many years ago, Di Tian had already traveled across the Douluo Continent. When it came to the understanding of this world, I fear that apart from him, no one else could be found to compare.

If not for responsibility and mission, Di Tian would also have walked out of this world to roam the galaxy.

It is just a pity that the responsibility he carries is too heavy...

His sorrow lies in the fact that ever since the Dragon God died, no Soul Beast has been able to become a god.

Facing Di Tian, Su Yu knew he had no power to choose, let alone the power to refuse.

Looking at the man opposite him, Su Yu slowly opened his mouth and said, "Xuan Lao, you should go back first. Since Senior Di Tian has made a promise, there is nothing to worry about."

As he spoke, Su Yu took a deep breath, trying his best to calm himself down. Facing Di Tian, he could only force himself not to tremble all over. Even though Di Tian had already restrained his aura, it still could not change the fact that he was inherently powerful.

This was a human's instinctive reaction to fear. Following the Imperial Auspicious Beast, Su Yu slowly moved away from Xuan Lao's side.

When Su Yu walked to Di Tian's side, Di Tian grabbed Su Yu and then disappeared from everyone's sight.

The people standing behind Xuan Lao also had pale faces. It was not that they didn't know who Di Tian was; watching Su Yu being taken away, even with Xuan Lao here, they felt so pale and powerless.

Seeing this scene, Wang Dong felt a wave of darkness before his eyes. Su Yu's trip this time was likely to be ominous...

"Xuan Lao, Su Yu he..."

Wang Dong's eye sockets had gradually turned red, and Xuan Lao could only helplessly lead the unconscious Soul Beasts and the others back.

"Don't worry, sometimes Soul Beasts are more trustworthy than humans. Su Yu will return. Even if he doesn't return, our Shrek Academy will not give up just like that. If Di Tian breaks his word, he will have to bear the wrath of our Shrek!"

This matter could only be left to Mu Lao and the Sea God Pavilion to handle...

On the way back, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was asking Di Tian questions like a child.

Di Tian was also as gentle as a father, dotingly answering his questions. As the Beast God honored by all Soul Beasts, he was also lonely—the life of hundreds of thousands of years as one day, and the heavy responsibility he had to guard...

Arriving before the Life Lake, Su Yu was casually thrown onto the ground. Fortunately, Di Tian's control of force was extremely exquisite; otherwise, with his strength, a casual toss would have made it a question of whether Su Yu could even find a handful of ashes.

Feeling the dense Life Force before him, Su Yu finally understood why the Silver Dragon King would choose to heal here. It was indeed a good place. According to Su Yu's own estimation, even an ordinary person could live for a hundred years just by drinking the water in this lake.

It was not strange that it could condense Life Gold, but the absurd part was how the Life Gold could have leaked out; I fear that this is the biggest problem.

If a piece of Life Gold were absorbed by the Silver Dragon King, I fear that the injuries could be recovered in a short time; after all, that was something that required the Star Dou Great Forest twenty thousand years to condense.

If no one had used some small tricks in secret, Su Yu would not believe it even if he died. How could such a precious thing be lost?

"Do not attempt to resist, otherwise you will be reduced to ashes in an instant."

Di Tian's voice was very flat, but Su Yu knew what this sentence represented.

When one is under the eaves, one has to bow one's head...

Under Di Tian's instruction, Su Yu released all resistance and sat cross-legged in front of the Life Lake. He knew that whatever he did would be futile; he should not count on being able to escape from the hands of the Silver Dragon King and Di Tian at all.

Since you have come, you must settle down.

A clear vibration came from the Life Lake, and a surge of nine-colored power erupted from the lake. That divine and strange power made even Di Tian's body tremble slightly.

The Silver Dragon King had made her move. Her target was Su Yu. That divine and strange power began to explore within Su Yu's body. Her purpose was actually very simple: to find the Dragon God aura that erupted from this human.

That divine and strange power finally stopped at Su Yu's Fate Eye. After a careful search, it only discovered the existence of Yi Lao.

Just like that, the first search ended without result.

Su Yu was very calm. He knew that the Silver Dragon King had no intention to kill him, only attempting to erase this memory of his. But even if she could block Yi Lao's Spirit Power, she could not change the Ancestral Dragon Power that had always been rooted in his soul.

Just after the Silver Dragon King's power withdrew, Su Yu also very cooperatively pretended to faint.

"Master, can you find out the reason?" Di Tian's voice sounded not far away.

The Silver Dragon King in the lake let out a helpless sigh, "No. Perhaps that aura was not on him at the time, or it could be one of those few people. He just happened to be stained with some aura."

"Then how should this human be dealt with? Should we send him back now?" Di Tian's meaning was actually very simple: since they found the wrong person, then send him back.

"No, keep him here first. Perhaps clues can really be found on him. Communicate with Shrek and the others; we will release the person, but not now. This human must not be allowed to die. Satisfy his requests as much as possible; he still has value for us to explore."

After speaking, the Silver Dragon King's power disappeared, and the place fell into silence once again.

However, they did not know that Su Yu, this guy, not only did not faint, but his memory had not been erased either...

When Su Yu estimated that about an hour had passed, he then pretended to look around with a blank expression.

When Su Yu "woke up," Di Tian also appeared in front of Su Yu and said, "You cannot leave the Star Dou Great Forest for the time being. We will not harm you either. If you have any needs, you can bring them up. As for Shrek, I, Di Tian, will handle it well."

Su Yu nodded. He had absolutely no idea what to say now; after all, this seemingly kind middle-aged man was no pushover.

"Um, may I ask Senior Di Tian one thing?" Su Yu did not dare to guarantee that the other party would answer.

Looking at Su Yu, Di Tian stopped his footsteps and then said, "Human, speak."

"Then when will I be able to leave?"

"I don't know..."

…………

Due to Su Yu's unique nature, and the fact that he shares the Fate Power of the Imperial Auspicious Beast, every move Su Yu makes is under the surveillance of Chi Wang.

Three days had passed in the blink of an eye, yet the Sea God Pavilion was already in an uproar.

"What? You say Mu Lao has already gone to negotiate with Di Tian?" Xuan Lao stared wide-eyed at Lin Huiqun before him.

Dressed in white, Lin Huiqun nodded. "Actually, the Sea God Pavilion originally intended to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to negotiate, but Mu Lao said he would handle this matter himself. After all, he was the one who handled the Beast Tide in the Star Dou Great Forest back then, so you need not worry about this."

"Lin Huiqun, why didn't you say so sooner? How long has Mu Lao been gone?" What Xuan Lao worried about was not a conflict between the two sides, but Mu Lao's health.

"He left about half an hour ago; you can still catch up if you go now..."

Xuan Lao did not remain idle. Although he knew Mu Lao was likely already negotiating with Di Tian, he still could not set his mind at ease.

The Star Dou Great Forest.

"Mu En, your student still needs to stay in my Star Dou Great Forest for a while. As for the reason, I don't think it's necessary for us in the Star Dou Great Forest to tell you." The one who came out to negotiate was not Di Tian, but Wan Yao Wang.

Clearly, the top Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest must all know of the existence of the Silver Dragon King; otherwise, it would have been impossible to offer Tian Meng as nourishment to the Silver Dragon King.

Leaning on his cane, Mu En slowly appeared before Wan Yao Wang and spoke: "I did not come to take back my student. Since Di Tian has already made a promise, I have no concerns. But I need to speak with Di Tian; after all, the one being detained is a student of my Shrek, and as for you, you cannot make that decision."

A powerful force erupted instantly behind Mu En, and following it, nine Soul Rings—two yellow, one purple, three black, and three red—rose up. The Wan Yao Wang opposite him also tensed up mentally. It was not that it didn't know who this human was; if they were to fight now, it absolutely dared not guarantee that the other party would hold back.

Because, after all, it was the Star Dou Great Forest that had detained a disciple of Shrek. If a war were to break out here, it would be an irreparable disaster for the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Mu En, I advise you not to be too presumptuous. This is the Star Dou Great Forest, not your Shrek territory." Wan Yao Wang was also secretly accumulating power; the current situation could be said to be slowly filling with the scent of gunpowder.

Just then, an invisible force swept over the space above the two, wiping away their pressure entirely. With a ripple in space, a man in black robes with long hair draped over his shoulders appeared before them.

"Enough. I, Di Tian, have always kept my word. Mu En, you may return." Di Tian stood with his hands behind his back, looking indifferently at the Mu En before him.

Mu Lao retracted his Soul Rings and looked at the Di Tian before him. On the Douluo Continent, everyone knew what Di Tian represented, but Mu En would not back down. "I only want to know how my student is doing now."

"Fine. After you see him, you may leave."

Di Tian flicked his hand, and the space collapsed over a large area, a black Dragon God Claw slowly disappearing into the pitch-black rift.

When the spatial rift closed, Su Yu was still holding an Engraving Knife, carving a Soul Guidance Array.

"Mu En, you may leave." In the blink of an eye, Su Yu returned to the side of the Life Lake, continuing to carve his Soul Guidance Device.

Su Yu was not unaware of the subsequent events, because Di Tian was essentially broadcasting it in real-time, fearing that Su Yu might lose the will to live and slit his own throat.

The attitude of Soul Beasts toward humans has always been hostile, but not all Soul Beasts are like Di Tian, who knows far, far too much.

When Su Yu was carving the Soul Guidance Device, he was actually pondering an interesting question: if Di Tian were to use his Dragon God Claw to carve, then at the very least, a Level 10 Soul Guidance Device would be a piece of cake.

The days of house arrest were truly somewhat boring; sometimes, when it was truly dull, he would even chat with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"Su Yu, you say, is the human world really that wonderful?" the Three-Eyed Golden Lion asked, looking at Su Yu, who was still deep in thought while drawing blueprints.

"I don't know. You should ask Senior Di Tian. When it comes to understanding humans, no one is clearer than Di Tian."

I am still young; if you want to ask, go to Di Tian. There, you can at least get a glimpse of exactly what kind of human suffering this great scientist has experienced.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion already possessed Su Yu's memories and was very curious about Su Yu's actions. "Then does Di Tian know about Soul Guidance Devices? In your memories, I feel like Soul Guidance Devices seem very powerful?"

"Soul Guidance Devices might not be as good as martial souls now, but in the future, Soul Guidance Devices are destined to be an inevitable trend of development. I am wondering, what would the result be if Soul Beasts could also use Soul Guidance Devices?"

Soul Guidance Devices only need soul power to be activated. If Soul Beasts were to use them, they would largely not need to consider the capacity to withstand them, because in terms of physical constitution, the physical advantages of Soul Beasts are something humans do not possess.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked at Su Yu with some confusion. "Can Soul Beasts also use Soul Guidance Devices?"

"Theoretically, they can. If I remember correctly, you should have also shared my memories; actually, it is possible to give it a try. Why not let Chi Wang try it out?" Aside from those important memories of his own that had been hidden, the rest of his memories had basically all been forcibly shared.
