"Do I need to sacrifice myself for the greater good?" 

Tang San looked at the choices laid before him but did not make the decision that the Eternal Lord had expected. "That's unnecessary," he replied. "It's better to preserve a useful body and focus on solving the problem. Sacrifice isn't the right path, especially since Douluo Star has already been discovered. Whether through sealing or severing connections, neither would resolve the issue. Even if we avoid disaster this time, others will surely follow in the future." 

The Eternal Lord appeared thoughtful and nodded. "I almost forgot. You're not a knight and lack a knight's sense of honor, but you do possess a convincing determination." 

"Hiding might work for a while, but you can't hide forever. Facing challenges head-on is the right way," the Silver Dragon King interjected, showing little interest in the so-called knightly spirit. She thought such people lived unnecessarily burdensome lives. Instead, she found herself agreeing with Tang San's perspective. After all, she had spent most of her life in hiding and had no desire to continue. She also didn't wish to remain confined to the Star Dou Forest. 

After experiencing the bustling world of humans, how could she willingly return to an isolated wilderness? 

As for the dangers of the human world? 

They didn't concern her—she had the strength to handle them. 

Moreover, the earlier attack was sure to draw the attention of the world. With the God Realm severed from Douluo Star, the Silver Dragon King saw this as the perfect opportunity to declare her existence as the representative of the soul beasts. This was her moment to prove her presence to the world. 

In fact, the Silver Dragon King believed the Abyss Plane's invasion could serve as a chance for cooperation between soul beasts and humans. After all, the emergence of abyssal creatures in the past had been met with resistance from both humans and soul beasts alike. 

"That's worth considering," Tang San said, pondering the Silver Dragon King's idea. After a moment, he nodded and released hundreds of Blue Silver Emperor plants. "Plant these throughout the Star Dou Forest to create a Blue Silver Network. Use it to connect the Starry Sky World and cover the dimensional passage." 

The Silver Dragon King was taken aback. "Are you planning to link the Starry Sky World with the physical world?" 

"Exactly," Tang San confirmed. 

His gaze fell on the dimensional passage, as if he could see the other side. He spoke slowly, "Rather than letting them invade our world, it's better to draw them into the Starry Sky World. Those beings seem to be energy-based lifeforms with extreme aggression, but they carry a heavy aura of death. Conveniently, I have an elder brother skilled in studying death..." 

"Additionally, if the Starry Sky World can refine the 108 layers of the Abyss Plane and that material world, it will advance significantly. Even if we reconnect with the God Realm in the future, we won't need to fear their power." 

"Of course, the connection won't be established immediately. I must first figure out the situation over there—" 

With that, Tang San looked at the Blood God Son trapped in his hand. 

"Don't waste your breath. I won't tell you anything!" the Blood God Son's clone shouted defiantly. "Just wait! My true body will tear you all apart and bring this world under his control!" 

"Making sure you can't send any messages to your true body is enough," Tang San said as he sealed the Blood God Son inside a bead constructed with the power of creation. He then turned to the Silver Dragon King and asked, "What should I call you now?" 

"Naturally, it's Gu Yuena," the Silver Dragon King replied with mild irritation. "I'm not some split personality, you know." 

"Hmm~ I still prefer the younger version of you," Tang San teased with mock seriousness. 

"Oh, really?" 

Gu Yuena suddenly smiled mischievously and slowly approached Tang San. If it weren't for the absence of abyssal energy on her, Tang San might have suspected her soul had been corrupted and mutated by the Abyss. 

"What are you planning—" 

Before Tang San could finish the sentence, his expression changed dramatically. He realized she had seized a critical weak point. His body trembled violently, and before he could react, Gu Yuena emitted a silver glow, isolating the surrounding space. The dragon scales of her white dress slowly vanished, revealing her smooth, fair skin. 

"In the Star Dou Forest, among the ordinary animals and soul beasts, the process of reproduction is often short and straightforward. This prevents predators from exploiting opportunities during vulnerable moments. But it's also an incredibly dull affair," she remarked with a calm yet meaningful tone. 

Gu Yuena embraced Tang San with an air of composure, her demeanor calm and scientific, as if conducting an objective experiment rather than seducing him. "Only humans enjoy this process and revel in it endlessly," she said. 

"I don't believe it, so I've decided to test it myself." 

"Besides," she continued, "as the child of the Blue Silver Emperor, you possess half soul beast blood. Although your theory claims that soul beasts' bodies become indistinguishable from humans' after transformation, I am the sovereign of all soul beasts. That makes me the authority here, and I'll leave my mark on you as proof." 

"Moreover, I want to see which is stronger: your blazing vitality and your Primal Chaos Dragon Spear, or the Starry Grinding Disc I've cultivated." 

Tang San: "..." 

With such an obvious hint, what else could he do? 

Of course, he went ahead with it! 

At the same time, outside, Di Tian and others, along with Tang Chen, arrived at the scene. They were left dumbfounded by the massive sphere of golden and silver energy before them. 

Listening to the deafening roars coming from within the sphere and watching the occasional flashes of lightning crackling on its surface, Di Tian shuddered, his voice trembling. "Who is the Master fighting? Such power! Those lightning bolts are even stronger than tribulation lightning, carrying an endless aura of destruction..."

However, Bi Ji, whose sensitivity to life force was unparalleled, remarked, "But within the lightning, there also seems to be a trace of vitality. If one can endure this thunder and survive, they might gain immense benefits instead of becoming as weak as one would after enduring tribulation lightning." 

Tang Chen, too, was astonished by the sheer power of the energy emanating from the sphere. Yet, like the others, he couldn't see what was happening inside. Casting a glance at Di Tian and the other fierce beasts, he frowned. "To think there are so many soul beasts with cultivation surpassing 100,000 years here. I've been to the Star Dou Forest before, and back then, there was only a Titan Giant Ape and a Sky Azure Bull Python. At the time, I had already reached nine rings and possessed a full set of soul bones. I didn't want to waste two 100,000-year soul rings, so I spared them to leave an opportunity for the younger generation..." 

Di Tian noticed Tang Chen's gaze and immediately moved to guard the golden and silver energy sphere alongside Bi Ji and the other soul beasts. Even if they couldn't defeat the god before them, they were determined to protect their Master until she emerged victorious. 

Tang Chen, however, didn't dare act rashly. Having been severely injured earlier in Zhou Weiqing's Soul-Calming Domain, his strength was only a fraction of what it had been. While defeating these soul beasts wouldn't be a problem, disturbing the energy within the sphere and causing it to explode would be catastrophic. He wasn't sure he could survive such an outcome. 

Caution was the better course of action. 

Thus, Tang Chen chose to retreat to the Haotian Sect to recover. Judging by the energy fluctuations of the sphere, the confrontation inside would last at least three or four days. 

However, this intense and exhilarating "battle" ended up lasting for a full three months before finally coming to a halt...
