Douluo Continent: Beginning with Signing in with Yan Lingji

"Indeed. Our Immortal Phoenix clan has the ability to regenerate from a drop of blood. To be precise, as long as we are not completely destroyed, we can be reborn from any flesh or blood of our body," Zhao Ming declared confidently, hands behind his back, his demeanor exuding the aura of a true powerhouse.

"Whoa!"

"Senior is indeed capable of such miraculous feats!"

"As expected of a peerless expert who once dominated the soul beast race in ancient times!"

The fierce beasts, upon hearing Zhao Ming's words, were stunned, imagining the miraculous scene he described, and couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

Even Gu Yuena was taken aback, her beautiful eyes fixed intently on Zhao Ming.

If only she possessed such an ability, even if the Divine Realm split the Dragon God in two, she could have restored herself to her former glory as the Dragon God. With such a power, she wouldn't fear the Divine Realm.

"Ten thousand years ago, I awakened, but at that time, I was still very weak. I originally planned to recuperate for another million years until my body was fully healed before reemerging. But I never expected that so much would happen in such a short time. Our soul beast race has been oppressed by humans to this extent," Zhao Ming said, his voice laced with coldness, causing the beasts to shudder.

"Senior, it's all our fault. We never anticipated that humans would grow so powerful!"

"We are guilty!"

"We have failed our ancestors!"

"We are the sinners of the soul beast race!"

Hearing Zhao Ming's reprimand, Di Tian, the Red King, and the Bear Lord all wore expressions of deep regret and guilt. The soul beast race had ruled the Douluo Continent for countless years, but in the last few tens of thousands of years, they had relinquished their dominance to humanity.

Now, they could only feel that they had betrayed their ancestors.

"Senior, did you come out early because of the humans?" the Red King asked nervously.

"What do you think?" Zhao Ming cast a cold glance at the Red King. "You've nearly lost all our soul beast territories; I had no choice but to come out and save the situation."

Hearing Zhao Ming's words, the fierce beasts felt even more remorseful, while their admiration for Zhao Ming grew even stronger.

It turned out that Senior had emerged early for their sake!

They could only imagine how much damage it must have caused him to come out so soon. Otherwise, why would his strength still be at its current level?

At this moment, even Gu Yuena was moved. She had been thinking of ways to persuade this senior to join her in challenging the Divine Realm, but now she realized there was no need. Given his magnanimity and willingness to sacrifice himself for the soul beast race, there was no need for her to deliberate any further.

Looking at Zhao Ming's calm expression, Gu Yuena couldn't help but feel a sense of self-reproach. Although she always spoke of waging war against the Divine Realm, she knew she harbored selfish intentions—wanting to absorb the power of the Golden Dragon King and fully reclaim her status as the Dragon God.

But Gu Yuena now understood that Zhao Ming truly wanted to revive the soul beast race.

Having lived for millions of years, her experience was vast, and she could tell at a glance that Zhao Ming's words were genuine, without a hint of falsehood.

As expected of an ancient powerhouse, his state of mind was far beyond theirs, even hers, the Silver Dragon King.

With this realization, Gu Yuena's gaze grew complex as she looked at Zhao Ming, a hint of admiration in her eyes.

"Senior, your noble spirit is truly admirable," she said, taking a deep breath and expressing her respect. This declaration from a junior came from the bottom of her heart.

The Dragon God was a being that emerged after the Immortal Phoenix. As Gu Yuena possessed only half of the Dragon God's power, she wasn't even a true Dragon God.

Thus, Zhao Ming deserved to be called her senior.

Zhao Ming merely smiled at her.

"From this moment on, Senior is the second sovereign of the Star Dou Forest. Does anyone have any objections?" Gu Yuena rose from her seat, her cold eyes sweeping over the fierce beasts below. Her voice, though soft, carried an undeniable authority.

"Di Tian greets the sovereign!"

"Bear Lord greets the sovereign!"

"Red King greets the sovereign!"

"Zi Ji greets the sovereign!"

…

Gu Yuena's declaration stirred waves of shock among the fierce beasts, but while they were surprised, none objected to her decision.

After all, Senior was the Immortal Phoenix, the soul beast supreme from ancient times.

Although his strength was currently diminished, it didn't matter. One day, he would recover his power. Even if he didn't return to his peak, he would still be an unrivaled existence within the soul beast realm.

Looking at the two figures on the platform, their gazes burned with intensity.

Under the leadership of these two sovereigns, the soul beast race would undoubtedly rise to greatness.

At this moment, Xiao Wu was stunned.

She never expected that Zhao Ming would be elevated to the position of leader of the Star Dou fierce beasts in such a short time. Seeing Di Tian, the Red King, Bear Lord, and Zi Ji—all usually elusive and powerful beasts—now showing such admiration for Zhao Ming, she felt both shocked and elated.

Her eyes, as clear as autumn water, gazed at Zhao Ming, who was speaking with confidence, filled with tenderness.

This was her man!

This was her man!

Her man would stand at the pinnacle of the continent, unmatched by anyone!

Titan and Sky Azure were equally excited upon witnessing this scene!

They knew that from today onward, they had truly risen in status!

Thanks to their connection with Xiao Wu and Zhao Ming, they were now like royalty in the Star Dou Forest. From this day forward, they would no longer be the ones who dominated the inner area but acted timidly in the core zone.

From today, they could stand on equal footing with Di Tian and the others!

All of this was because their brother-in-law was the leader of the Star Dou soul beasts—a supreme existence among beasts!

"Hah." Watching this scene, Zhao Ming maintained a calm exterior, but his heart surged with excitement.

Those before him were Di Tian, the Red King, and the Bear Lord—mighty soul beasts.

Each possessed incredible combat strength, and now they had become his subordinates. Nothing could be more thrilling.

The combined power of these beasts was undoubtedly on par with the Title Douluos of the Spirit Hall.

Perhaps even stronger.

Now, with these subordinates, could he dominate the continent?

But Zhao Ming quickly dismissed the unrealistic thought.

If the fierce beasts of the Star Dou Forest acted too frequently, it might draw the attention of the Divine Realm. After all, the escape of the Silver Dragon King must have caught the attention of the gods. Although they might not yet know Gu Yuena's exact whereabouts, the Star Dou Forest was undoubtedly under close watch.

So, the idea of leading the soul beasts of Star Dou to flaunt their power could only remain a fantasy for now.

He also had ambitions regarding the Divine Realm. With his system, he knew that when he ascended to godhood, he wouldn't be any weaker than the Dragon God. In the future, with Gu Yuena's assistance, the two of them could possibly take down the Divine Realm together.

At that point, he wouldn't just be a sovereign—he would be like an emperor in the Divine Realm. No, he'd be like the Jade Emperor himself, free to do as he pleased. Who could stop him?
