----------------------
Time flew like a wild colt galloping through a field—their month-long vacation neared its end.
Star Dou Forest—Core Region, Lake of Life
The lake glowed with emerald vitality, ancient trees reflected in its mirror surface.
Breeze rippled the water, carrying the forest's crisp fragrance, soothing the soul.
Fang Yang stood by the shore, white robes fluttering, gazing at the shimmering lake.
"Gu Yue—the break's over. Time to return to the academy."
"Mm," she nodded softly.
Then—Fang Yang raised his voice:
"Di Tian! All of you—come forth!"
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Six colossal auras erupted from the forest, converging in kneeling unison before them.
Di Tian bowed his head, black-and-gold hair spilling over his shoulders.
"Your servants… hail the Lords!"
"Rise," Fang Yang commanded, eyes scanning each Fierce Beast.
"How fare your bloodlines? Have you mastered the techniques I bestowed?"
Silence fell—tension thick with shame.
Finally, Di Tian stepped forward, golden eyes downcast.
"Our bloodlines have grown, my Lord… but the techniques…"
Fang Yang nodded thoughtfully, pulling a jade vial from his ring.
Six pills floated from it, hovering before each Fierce Beast—radiating intoxicating, soul-stirring fragrance.
"Consume them."
His voice brooked no refusal.
Di Tian swallowed his pill instantly.
Warmth flooded his veins.
The others followed suit.
BOOM!
Six apocalyptic auras shook the lake.
Bones cracked, meridians remade, soul cores transformed.
They shed their beast forms, becoming flawless humans—yet retained their primordial power, gained human cultivation talent, kept their longevity, and could shift back at will.
Fang Yang watched, satisfied—they were reborn.
"THANK YOU, MY LORD!"
They knelt again, voices trembling with awe.
Di Tian—900,000-year-old Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King—eyes glistened with tears.
Ascension to godhood… his lifelong dream… finally within reach!
"These Beast Transformation Pills spare you decades of re-cultivation," Fang Yang said, locking eyes with Di Tian. "And grant you eligibility for godhood. Do not disappoint me."
"I swear my life to your cause, my King!" Di Tian roared, resolve blazing in his soul.
"Remain in Star Dou Forest," Fang Yang decreed.
Suddenly—Xiong Jun stepped forward, grinning like a fool.
"My Lord! Human lands are perilous—let me guard you!"
GLARES shot his way.
Bi Ji snorted, eyes narrowed. "Sly Bear—so that's your game!"
Myriad Demon King sneered. "The Lord has Lady Gu Yue—what need for your clumsy loyalty?"
Scarlet King bared fangs, smirking. "If anyone guards them, it's me! Professional bodyguard—ever heard of it?"
Zi Ji lazily tossed her hair, a challenge in her crimson eyes. "Scarlet King—you can't handle it. Leave it to me."
Tension crackled—Five Great Demon Beasts brawling over who'd serve!
"Enough."
Gu Yue's voice froze the air.
Her black eyes swept over them—then settled on Xiong Jun.
"Xiong Jun will accompany us."
"Yes, my Lord!" They bowed instantly, daring no protest.
Fang Yang sighed. "Then Xiong Jun comes."
"The rest—cultivate. When we return… show us your progress."
"As commanded!"
Di Tian gave Xiong Jun a meaningful look. "Guard them well."
Xiong Jun thumped his chest, grinning. "With me—the Lords are untouchable!"
Fang Yang waved his hand.
The other Fierce Beasts vanished as streaks of light.
The lake fell silent, only ripples whispering.
BEEP! BEEP!
A soul-guided comm shattered the calm.
Fang Yang answered—Tang Wulin's name flashed.
"Fang Yang—when are you returning to Donghai?" Tang Wulin's voice rang bright.
"Headed back now—with Gu Yue," Fang Yang replied, smiling.
"Perfect! Senior Sister and I are leaving soon too—see you at Donghai!" Tang Wulin's excitement was palpable.
"See you."
Fang Yang ended the call.
Xiong Jun—a hulking, rugged man—stood silent nearby.
Fang Yang turned to Gu Yue. "Gu Yue…"
She understood, flicking her wrist.
Space twisted—a silver-white portal swirled open.
"Let's go."
She took Fang Yang's hand, fingers intertwining.
They stepped through, Xiong Jun close behind.
WHOOSH!
They reappeared in Tian Dou City.
"Tian Dou… I'm back," Fang Yang murmured, gazing at the ancient metropolis.
Thanks to Gu Yue's spatial power, Star Dou to Tian Dou was but a blink.
Ordinary travel would've taken days.
Hand in hand with Gu Yue, Xiong Jun trailing, they strolled into Tian Dou's vibrant streets—warm, humid, lush with greenery, crowds buzzing, vendors shouting, life in full bloom.
