The fight between Di Tian and Xiong Li ended with Di Tian having the upper hand, leaving the Bear Lord with some injuries on his body.
"You better learn your lesson. Lord ordered that the dragon be protected. It is very important for Lord to heal her injuries so we can revolt against the God Realm. If you foil Lord's plan, there will be no mercy," said Di Tian.
"The dragon killed one of my own. You think I would just let him off?" said Xiong Li.
"Whatever the reason, you shouldn't harm the dragon," said Di Tian.
This conversation was overheard by both Wang Lin and Bi Ji, which confused Wang Lin about the whole "God Realm" thing. However, his attention shifted toward what the Bear Lord was saying.
"I didn't kill the mother bear, you fat man. It was the work of the humans—they were the ones. If it wasn't for me, the bear cub would already be dead. So, you should thank me rather than trying to kill me," said Wang Lin as he looked at both Xiong Li and Di Tian.
"You are lying! This lizard killed the mother bear. Look at the soul bone—that's all you need to see," said the Bear Lord.
"That claw-shaped thing? It dropped after I killed one of the humans who killed the mother bear. If you want an excuse to fight, let's fight. I don't need to lie," said Wang Lin.
"You heard him, Bear Lord. This matter ends today. I don't want to see you attack him again," said Di Tian.
"You Poison Dragon, you polluted the lakes' waters with your filthy poison. What spirit beast were you before you became a dragon?" said Wang Lin.
"I don't know what you'd call it, but I was a snake spirit beast. But I'm not just a Poison Dragon—I also have a Darkness attribute," said Wang Lin.
"Haha, you silly lizard! You boast about your puny strength in front of a Black Dragon? You would shame all dragons with your control of darkness. Your attacks didn't even leave a scratch," laughed the Bear Lord. Alongside him, both Di Tian and Bi Ji had looks of agreement on their faces.
"I was too distracted by your arrival that I forgot to ask—what is your name?" asked Bi Ji.
"My name is Wang Lin," replied Wang Lin in a disgruntled tone, upset with the mockery.
"Wang Lin, you heard me. You are not to leave the core of the Star Dou until you help heal Lord's injuries," ordered Di Tian.
"How can I heal your Lord when I'm a Poison Dragon weaker than her? Shouldn't you be asking the lady beside me? She seems more adept at healing.
I don't remember promising not to leave the core of the forest," said Wang Lin.
"Lord mentioned that you could summon tribulation lightning. If any of that is true, that's all you need to help heal her."
"Even if you don't like it, you will not leave the core of Star Dou until Lord is healed," said Di Tian, releasing his draconic pressure with the force of 810,000 years of cultivation.
"I don't think so," said Wang Lin, even while facing the full brunt of the pressure that left his limbs shaking.
"Di Tian, go easy on him. He's just confused from waking up. He just needs some time to remember," said Bi Ji.
"I hope that's the case, or he won't need to worry about the Bear Lord killing him—I will do it myself," said Di Tian as he walked away.
The Bear Lord grinned, while Bi Ji signaled him not to speak further.
"Bring the dragon after you show him his new home," said Di Tian without looking back.
"Lady, hand me the bear cub," Wang Lin requested. He took the cub in his mouth, walked toward the Bear Lord, and placed it in his arms.
"After fighting you, I realized you love your race to death. Take this bear cub and care for it from now on," said Wang Lin as he handed over the sleeping cub, which was slobbering.
"Lady, let's go and see my new home. Also, I forgot to ask your name," said Wang Lin while walking away with the Emerald Swan.
"My name is Bi Ji. I'm an Emerald Swan spirit beast," said Bi Ji, giggling as she looked at the Bear Lord holding the cub with a silly expression.
They walked for a while and reached a valley perfect for Wang Lin to live in. There, he promptly stored the storage spirit tool and external soul bone, not wanting Bi Ji to see him storing them in the system.
"Are you done? Let's go and meet Di Tian," said Bi Ji.
"Okay, let's go. Bi Ji, I want to ask something. Why were there so few beasts when I arrived yesterday? Where were you?" asked Wang Lin.
"Well, Di Tian tasked Er Ming and Da Ming with ensuring nothing disturbed Lord Gu Yuena.
"I usually tend to injured beasts. The other beasts, like the Bear Lord, are in another part of the lake, where they imprisoned a poor Ice Worm to absorb its essence. I've asked Di Tian many times to leave it alone, but he always dismissed my requests, saying the Ice Worm wouldn't survive its tribulation after reaching a million years old," said Bi Ji.
"A million-year-old beast? How strong is it?" asked Wang Lin.
"Well, it's not strong enough to escape from all the beasts in the core of Star Dou, Even though its million years old it doesn't have a combat power of a hundred thousand year old beast" said Bi Ji.
"Bi Ji, are there any other beasts stronger than Di Tian here?" asked Wang Lin.
"Wang Lin, Di Tian is the strongest after Lord Gu Yuena. Lord isn't just a strong beast—she's a god of spirit beasts," said Bi Ji.
"A god? You're fooling me, right? How does a spirit beast become a god?" asked Wang Lin.
