Chapter 479: Movement from All Sides
Douluo 2 Continent – Star Dou Forest
Despite the soul beasts' isolation from the outside world and their lack of contact with humans, the Silver Dragon King possessed unparalleled power and an acute perception. When the two worlds fused, unlike ordinary mortals who were left in the dark, she immediately sensed the immense surge in energy density. The concentration of world energy had at least tripled, if not more.
The reason for this drastic increase was simple Douluo 1 had endured deep abyssal invasions, causing the world to evolve significantly. In contrast, Douluo 2 had existed for a shorter time and had yet to undergo such profound changes. With the fusion of the two worlds, the energy from Douluo 1 now flooded Douluo 2, making it seem as if the energy had suddenly multiplied.
Realizing this monumental shift, the Silver Dragon King discreetly used her abilities to gather information from the human world. It didn't take long before she learned that a new continent had emerged across the sea a land from a twin world, seemingly representing Douluo 1 from 10,000 years ago.
Upon receiving this information, the Silver Dragon King's first thought was of Ye Cheng. She immediately ordered her people to gather more intelligence, and sure enough, she discovered that Baiyun City existed in this world as well, with numerous god level powerhouses.
This revelation left her shocked.
"What is happening over there?"
"Could it be that there are more than just two twin worlds?"
Understanding the existence of another Silver Dragon King, she knew the era had changed.
She had no doubt that another version of herself existed on that distant continent.
Even across vast distances, she could vaguely sense a connection a link between two identical divine entities. At first, she had found this strange. The Creation Godhood belonged solely to the Dragon God, and she had inherited it after the Dragon God's fall. Logically, no second Creation Godhood should exist.
But if it belonged to another version of herself from a twin world, then everything made sense.
Now came the real question
What should she do about this other version of herself?
There is a saying: A mountain cannot have two tigers.
Likewise, within a soul beast race, there could only be one true ruler.
For now, however, a direct confrontation was unnecessary.
After all, a vast ocean still separated their lands.
Moreover, their greatest enemy was the Divine Realm. Compared to a struggle for dominance within the soul beast race, the survival of their kind as a whole was far more pressing.
Now was not the time for internal conflict. Now was the time to unite against a common foe.
Even if a battle for supremacy between them was inevitable, it would have to wait until after the Divine Realm was crushed. Otherwise, their enemies would laugh at their foolishness.
Furthermore, since they were essentially the same person, their personalities and abilities were likely identical.
This meant they had the potential to negotiate rather than fight.
However, the thought of meeting another version of herself made the Silver Dragon King uneasy.
That version of herself had formed a contract with a living Ye Cheng. Who knew how much stronger she had become now? Perhaps she had even fully restored her former strength.
Meanwhile, her own body was still recovering, far from her peak.
If she rushed into contact, she might end up at a disadvantage in the exchange.
But with the world's energy density now vastly increased, her recovery would accelerate.
Previously, even with the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' cores, she had expected it to take decades or centuries to regain her full strength.
Now, it might only take a few months or years.
She made her decision she would wait until she had regained her peak power before approaching the other version of herself.
Far North – The Rise of the Yao Race
Ever since Xue Di and Bing Di successfully transformed their soul beast race into the Yao race under Ye Cheng's guidance, they had been silently recruiting soul beasts across the Far North.
Of course, they weren't accepting just anyone.
Some low potential soul beast species, such as the Ice Silkworm, were excluded from their teachings. After all, even if those species practiced Yao cultivation, they would never amount to much.
At this stage, the Yao race was still in its infancy.
If they drew too much attention, they might provoke a disaster.
Their primary concern was the Divine Realm.
After all, the Divine Realm had implemented countless methods to suppress the soul beast race, including:
Forcing soul beasts to form spirit rings upon death.Preventing soul beasts from surpassing Rank 100.Enforcing heavenly tribulations to eliminate those who grew too strong.
If the Divine Realm discovered that soul beasts had developed an alternative cultivation path, breaking free from their restrictions, they wouldn't just sit back and watch.
They would descend in person to wipe them out.
For now, the Yao race was simply too weak.
They had to remain hidden and grow stronger in secret.
Through their careful, gradual expansion, they had gone from a mere few dozen members to over tens of thousands in number!
But then, the two worlds fused.
With the drastic surge in world energy, Xue Di and Bing Di immediately sensed something was wrong.
They rushed to Ye Cheng, hoping that with his vast knowledge, he could explain what had happened.
"Was this an unnatural event?"
"Or was there some greater force at play?"
Ye Cheng Feigns Ignorance
Even though Ye Cheng knew exactly what had happened because he had caused it
He pretended not to know.
"This is a massive change," he said with a blank expression. "Perhaps you should check the human world. You've been staying in the Far North too long. Your intelligence sources are too limited."
Bing Di immediately volunteered.
"I'll go to the human world and investigate!" she declared.
Xue Di decided to stay behind to guard their territory after all, if they both left, their enemies might seize the chance to attack their homeland.
Ye Cheng Insists on Going Too
But Ye Cheng wasn't comfortable letting Bing Di go alone.
She had never ventured into human society before.
No matter how mature she might be, she was completely unaware of how deceitful and treacherous humans could be.
"What if she gets tricked like a certain Blue Silver Emperor?"
"What if some soul master deceives her and exploits her?"
Thus, he insisted on going with her.
Bing Di pouted, crossing her arms.
"Hmph! You're treating me like a clueless child!" she huffed.
In her human form, her cute, sulky expression made her look like an adorable, naive girl.
Honestly, she really did look like someone who would get tricked into counting money for her scammer.
Ye Cheng's concern was justified.
Xue Di Refuses to Be Left Out
Seeing the two of them preparing to leave alone, Xue Di suddenly felt a strong sense of unease.
It was as if…
If she didn't go with them, she would lose something.
She immediately declared
"I'm coming too!"
As for who would guard their home?
They could leave that to the Titan Snow Demon King.
With his strength, defending the Far North was more than enough.
