The two soul beasts fell into deep contemplation.
Originally, they had planned to challenge Shui Jin'er, believing themselves to be on par with her. With the support of the Silver Dragon King, they felt they had nothing to fear from Shui Jin'er.
However, they now realized that Shui Jin'er not only far surpassed them in cultivation but was also backed by the immense power of the Shui family, making her appear extraordinarily formidable.
The two beasts exchanged glances, beginning to consider whether they should surrender.
But if they surrendered, wouldn't that mean betraying the Silver Dragon King?
"Lord Silver Dragon King will surely not forgive us," the two soul beasts thought, troubled.
At that moment, Bi Ji and Di Tian spoke up, offering their counsel: "You should understand that the Silver Dragon King sees you merely as cannon fodder and does not care about your lives or deaths."
"Moreover, the true ruler of the Star Dou Forest is now the Shui family. The head of the Shui family is a formidable figure; even the Silver Dragon King must regard him with caution."
"Furthermore, though the Silver Dragon King is powerful, ask yourselves honestly—can he truly help you? He has been sealed away, and no one knows when he will truly awaken and descend."
"Is it worth it to die for him?" Bi Ji and Di Tian spoke from their own experiences, trying to persuade them.
Shui Jin'er remained high above, looking down on the two beasts with a divine and unassailable demeanor.
Under Bi Ji and Di Tian's persuasion, the two soul beasts began to waver.
"The Shui family is a tangible force. Our Silver Dragon King, no matter how powerful, is still sealed."
One soul beast bitterly transmitted a message to its companion.
The other soul beast nodded in agreement. "Yes, and look at Di Tian and Bi Ji. Since joining the Shui family, their cultivation seems to have improved significantly. Since the Shui family is so strong, we should surrender."
A wise person knows when to yield.
The two soul beasts, who had initially sworn never to submit, quickly capitulated.
They knelt before Shui Jin'er, expressing their willingness to serve.
"Thank you, Seniors Di Tian and Bi Ji, for enlightening us!"
"We pledge our loyalty to the Beast God, entering the Shui family and being willing to endure any hardship, even death!" they declared in unison.
With the surrender of their leaders, the soul beasts under them also yielded.
Shui Jin'er's belief power increased once again. She felt the surge of faith energy within her, and her Beast God power grew even stronger.
She looked toward the still-unconquered regions and issued a commanding order: "Continue the conquest!"
The soul beast army surged forward once more, with Shui Jin'er leading them. She asserted her dominance over the Star Dou Forest, signaling the arrival of a new order.
At the Shui family estate.
Shui Wuya sat atop Soul Spirit Mountain, shrouded in a mysterious blue light that seemed to connect him with the heavens.
At the summit, the wind roared, and invisible spiritual energy swirled around, converging towards Shui Wuya's body.
With his eyes closed, he was immersed in a state of transcendence.
The world of the undead unfolded within him.
Infused with the power of the divine realms, time here flowed five times faster than in the real world, causing the world to evolve rapidly.
The world of the undead was no longer desolate and ruined but was now vibrant and full of life.
The once-dismal skeletons had gained intelligence and began to assist and trade with one another. The world had even developed city-states, evolving from tribes into an early city-state society.
Shui Wuya looked on with satisfaction.
All this development was his own creation, emerging from nothing, filling him with a profound sense of accomplishment.
However, there was still a minor flaw: the world of the undead was only 95% complete.
Shui Wuya had to ponder deeply on how to improve that final 5%.
Suddenly, he thought of the divine position he had created for the undead.
"If an undead could complete the divine trials and become the Undead God, perhaps this issue could be resolved," Shui Wuya's eyes lit up.
Relying on external forces was less reliable than depending on oneself.
With this realization, Shui Wuya vanished into the void, setting out to find a potential candidate for the Undead God position.
In the heart of the undead world, there was a vast land of skeletal remains.
Mountains of corpses and seas of blood were strewn about.
Undead lay scattered, bones shattered and flesh torn, with blood staining the earth, forming a crimson river.
The former lair of the undead bone dragon was now occupied by a six-headed dragon of Western dragon form.
This six-headed dragon exuded an imposing presence, each head as majestic as a mountain, with a powerful aura.
One of the dragon heads opened its eyes, glowing with a green light, reminiscent of two emeralds. Despite their dragon form, their pupils were similar to those of crocodiles, revealing a fierce and sinister nature.
The dragon's abdomen glowed faintly, indicating the presence of an unusual treasure. Under the dim moonlight, a shiny object was visible.
This was none other than the undead crocodile that had once mistakenly swallowed the divine position of the Undead God!
Now, it had completed the Nine Trials of the Undead, evolved into a dragon form, defeated the undead bone dragon, and its cultivation had reached the brink of divine status.
No longer an insignificant being, it now held a prominent title—Jiyue.
Jiyue looked excitedly at the blood moon, reflecting on the many difficulties and challenges faced. Standing here now, he had become the new ruler of the undead world.
He couldn't help but let out a howl, shaking the heavens with his roar.
Countless undead in the undead world trembled at Jiyue's roar, too terrified to move, like ants under a powerful force.
At that moment, a figure descended from the sky.
Shui Wuya appeared before Jiyue.
Jiyue stared at Shui Wuya in surprise, and then immediately rushed forward, happily rubbing against Shui Wuya like a pet, with no trace of hostility.
Shui Wuya looked at the six-headed dragon and was momentarily stunned.
"Didn't it only have one head before?" he wondered.
He then noticed the changes in Jiyue.
The aura of the six-headed dragon was completely different from that of the undead bone dragon.
Following Jiyue's gaze, Shui Wuya saw a half-buried wing on the ground and immediately understood what had happened.
"Ah, I see. The undead bone dragon was replaced by a successor."
Shui Wuya realized.
The undead world was ever-changing and full of vitality.
No undead could remain the eternal ruler.
It was in such a survival-of-the-fittest environment that truly extraordinary beings emerged.
Shui Wuya reached out to touch Jiyue's dragon head.
But seeing the six massive heads before him, he reconsidered and instead asked, "What is your name?"
Jiyue respectfully responded, "Master, my name is Jiyue."
Shui Wuya smiled and nodded, his eyes gleaming with approval and satisfaction.
"Jiyue, that is a good name."
His voice was filled with encouragement and recognition.
Hearing Shui Wuya's praise, Jiyue felt an immense sense of excitement and pride.
