Xiao Wu placed a Shura divine power inside the Titan Ape's body. This divine power would allow her to immediately sense when the Titan Ape was in mortal danger and quickly rush to the scene.
This measure ensured the safety of the Titan Ape and allowed Xiao Wu to respond promptly to any potential threats.
"Alright," the Azure Sky Bull Python replied, then slowly sank to the bottom of the lake to rest.
Just then, Gu Yuena flew out from the Lake of Life and said solemnly, "A human has entered the Star Dou Great Forest. The opponent is very powerful, probably a level 99 demigod." Upon hearing this news, Xiao Wu frowned slightly.
In the world today, there are only two demigods at level ninety-nine: Empress Qian Yuhuang and Tang Zhen, the sect master of the Haotian Sect. Qian Yuhuang could not have come to the Star Dou Great Forest; therefore, it must have been Tang Zhen, the sect master of the Haotian Sect, who entered the forest.
"I suspect the soul beasts killed in Sunset Forest are related to the Haotian Sect," Xiao Wu guessed.
Gu Yuena nodded and continued, "Two years ago, a nearly 100,000-year-old sea dragon whale was killed in the sea. Hmph, it might have been killed by the Haotian Sect."
Gu Yuena has always opposed killing soul beasts, especially those over ten thousand years old. These soul beasts possess a certain level of intelligence and emotions, and their deaths are a loss to the entire ecosystem.
Normally, soul beasts that live for less than 10,000 years have almost no intelligence and are no different from ordinary wild animals.
Soul beasts that can develop intelligence within a thousand years are extremely rare. Only soul beasts with powerful bloodlines, such as dragon-type soul beasts, are likely to gain intelligence in such a short period of time.
However, when soul beasts grow to the age of ten thousand years, the fighting between them will decrease, because they have awakened their intelligence and understand the existence of their own kind.
In just seven years, more than a dozen ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts and a nearly one-hundred-thousand-year-old dragon-type sea soul beast were brutally killed. If Xiao Wu hadn't stopped her in time, Gu Yuena would have already rushed out the door.
"Let's observe the situation further before making a decision."
Xiao Wu did not want a conflict to arise between humans and soul beasts. After all, the two sides had maintained a peaceful situation for more than 10,000 years with great difficulty. Once the conflict intensified, it would be very difficult to restore the original state.
"Hmph, everything you've done is in vain. Just wait and see, war is coming."
Gu Yuena snorted coldly. She knew that if the Soul Beast race wanted to restore the glory of the Dragon God era, they had to engage in a fierce battle with humans.
Humans have slaughtered soul beasts for millions of years, and the resentment and hatred accumulated over this long period have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of every soul beast.
Although they were filled with hatred for humans, they dared not easily express this emotion because they feared that the human gods might launch another crackdown.
"Be careful not to play with fire and get burned," Xiao Wu warned.
Although Yu Tianming outwardly agreed not to interfere in the affairs of the Martial Soul Continent, human hearts are unpredictable, and no one can be sure whether he will go back on his word.
After all, he is still a human. If he really goes back on his word, then the soul beast race will be plunged into an unprecedented predicament.
Xiao Wu, A Yin, and A Rou will remain neutral and follow Yu Tianming's choice, as long as it ensures that the soul beast race is not wiped out.
However, they do not wish to disrupt the existing balance, but rather hope that all ethnic groups can live in harmony. Such an idea is certainly admirable, but reality may not be so.
Gu Yuena saw further ahead; she knew that a peaceful coexistence was unlikely to last.
Rather than waiting for future uncertainties, it's better to launch a decisive battle sooner rather than later, allowing each race to determine the dominance of the Martial Soul Continent based on their strength.
Why are the Soul Beast race confined to the Star Dou Great Forest? They should have a wider living space.
"I know what I'm doing," Gu Yuena said confidently. As a clever dragon, everything she did was within Yu Tianming's bottom line. As long as she didn't cross that line, it wouldn't cause serious consequences.

Wuhun City, Imperial Palace.
"Lord Ancestor."
When the angel descended to the mortal realm, Qian Yuhuang knelt, her face displaying utmost piety. However, deep down, she felt no true reverence.
"Girl, stop with that fake expression. You have no respect for me."
Qian Renxue stepped out of the statue, her gaze turning cold as she looked at Qian Yuhuang. She knew that Qian Yuhuang had been an empress for decades and was used to being the only one who mattered; her outward respect was merely for show.
"Did our ancestors descend to the mortal realm with any decree?"
Qian Yuhuang stood up and asked respectfully. Although she didn't care, she still dared not show disrespect to Qian Renxue, a powerful figure.
"The soul beast is acting strangely; you need to make plans as soon as possible."
"Qian Renxue said in a serious tone. Her purpose in descending to the mortal realm was to give Gu Yuena a warning, to prevent her from making any rash moves. Over the years, she had been keeping a close eye on the movements of the Douluo Continent, especially those soul beasts with special abilities."
"A soul beast?"
Qian Yuhuang smiled disdainfully: "So what if a bunch of livestock have rebellious intentions?" In her eyes, soul beasts were nothing more than tools and resources for humans, and were not worth paying attention to at all.
"snort!"
Qian Renxue snorted coldly, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes. She was well aware of Qian Yuhuang's arrogance and conceit, but as the inheritor of the Angel God, she had to remind Qian Yuhuang not to underestimate any potential threat.
"Don't forget, didn't Bibi Dong also suffer defeat because she underestimated her opponent?"
"Qian Renxue said coldly. She hoped to use these words to alert Qian Yuhuang and make her realize that the enemy might be hiding in the shadows, ready to attack at any moment."
Qian Yuhuang was slightly shaken; Bibi Dong's defeat had always been a sore spot for her. She realized that she had indeed been too confident and had overlooked the potential danger.
"Thank you for your teachings, ancestor. I will strengthen the monitoring of soul beasts to ensure they do not become a threat to us."
Qian Yuhuang answered respectfully. Although she still believed that soul beasts were not to be feared, out of respect for Qian Renxue, she decided to take some precautions just in case.

Meanwhile, within the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!" Heavy footsteps echoed through the forest. Each step of the Titan Ape left a deep footprint, as if the earth itself was trembling.
As it ran along, it toyed with and mocked many spirit beasts along the way, occasionally swinging huge rocks with its thick arms to smash them, or directly bombarding them with cannons, causing chaos and terror.
"Roar!" Suddenly, a roar resounded throughout the forest. The Titan Ape stopped in its tracks, raised its massive head, and looked into the distance.
"Humans?" it muttered to itself in confusion. "Is that brat's aura?"
About forty miles away from Tang San, the Titan Giant Ape keenly sensed a familiar aura. It had smelled this aura seven years ago on that human Title Douluo.
"Roar, you dare to come to the Star Dou Great Forest? Watch me, Er Ming, kill you all!" The Titan Giant Ape roared angrily, its eyes flashing with a fierce light.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!" It took huge strides, covering two thousand meters in one step, and headed straight for Tang San's location at an astonishing speed.
