Chapter 252 Do you know why I saved you?
Just as Tang Chuan's spiritual power established a connection with the giant silkworm in the cave and he heard its cry for help, a sudden change occurred!
An extremely terrifying pressure, filled with dark power, suddenly erupted from his body, like a sleeping king suddenly awakening!
Immediately afterwards, the reverse scale on his chest, a gift from Emperor Tian, began to heat up slightly. Black dragon scale phantoms quickly appeared and spread across his skin, then emitted a faint black light.
"Buzz!"
An invisible barrier suddenly formed, and the mental connection between Tang Chuan and the giant silkworm through the Blue Silver Domain was brutally and instantly severed by this sudden dark power!
The urgent cries for help from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in his mind abruptly stopped.
It was as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.
"Hmm? What's this?" Tang Chuan frowned slightly and looked down at the black scales on his chest that were slowly disappearing. A look of seriousness flashed in his eyes.
When Di Tian rescued him earlier, he was unconscious, but he was not completely unaware. He was somewhat aware of the existence of this reverse scale and everything Di Tian had done.
"That giant silkworm just now seemed to be... the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm? It seems that Di Tian doesn't want me to know about its existence, let alone have any contact with it."
Just then, Xiao Ruier stepped forward, looking at Tang Chuan who was standing there with a strange expression, her beautiful face showing a hint of worry and doubt, and softly asked:
"What...what happened to you just now? Are your injuries not fully healed yet?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Chuan quickly composed himself, suppressing his doubts about the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. He gently shook his head at Xiao Ruier, revealing a reassuring smile, and said:
"It's nothing, I just recovered and there were some fluctuations when I checked with my mental energy."
Seeing that Tang Chuan seemed unwilling to say more, Xiao Ruier bit her red lips, a struggle flashing in her eyes, but in the end she made up her mind.
After a moment of silence, she looked at Tang Chuan seriously and slowly said, "Tang Chuan, this place is actually... the most forbidden area in the core of the Star Dou Great Forest, known as the Land of Great Calamity. And I... am not actually human. My true identity is the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the Emperor Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest."
She told Tang Chuan everything without reservation about her identity as a soul beast, how the two of them met, how Di Tian sensed the danger and rescued them from Bibi Dong, and how he used his Reverse Scale to take the damage from the Eternal Wound for him.
Having said all that.
Xiao Ruier looked at Tang Chuan nervously, afraid of seeing disgust or alienation in his eyes.
However, after hearing this, Tang Chuan did not show any surprise or rejection on his face. Instead, he showed a knowing smile.
He slowly extended his palm and gently brushed aside a few stray strands of golden hair from Xiao Ruier's forehead, his movements both gentle and solemn.
"I already knew all this."
At this moment, Tang Chuan's gaze was clear and firm as he looked into her eyes and said softly, "Rui'er, whether you are human or a soul beast, I don't care about these external identities."
He paused here, his tone tinged with self-deprecation yet utterly composed.
"Moreover, in a sense, I am also a soul beast. My mother was the previous Blue Silver Emperor, a 100,000-year-old plant soul beast. With such deep ties to the Star Dou Great Forest, I can be considered... half a soul beast, can't I?"
His words were like warm sunshine.
It instantly dispelled all the anxiety and gloom in Xiao Ruier's heart.
Upon hearing these words, Xiao Ruier's last lingering concerns vanished, and a surge of immense emotion and joy welled up within her, causing tears to uncontrollably fill her eyes once again.
But this time, they were tears of happiness.
"Tang Chuan..."
Xiao Ruier choked back tears as she called out the name of her beloved. Then, she could no longer hold back and threw herself into his arms, embracing him tightly.
The two embraced tightly by the Lake of Life, their heartbeats seemingly merging into one. No words were needed; all acceptance and affection were contained in this silent embrace.
Just then, a sculpted black shadow, as if blending into the night, silently drifted from the nearby forest, eventually taking shape on the lakeside—it was none other than the Beast God Di Tian.
Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Xiao Ruier quickly composed herself and respectfully greeted them:
"Uncle Di Tian."
Di Tian's majestic gaze immediately fell on Tang Chuan, and he nodded slightly.
Tang Chuan sensed the unfathomable aura emanating from the other party, and bowed slightly, saying in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Beast God, hello."
Di Tian nodded again, then looked at Xiao Ruier, his tone calm but unquestionable, and said, "Ruier, step aside for a moment, I need to have a brief chat with this kid."
Upon hearing this, a hint of hesitation flashed across Xiao Ruier's beautiful face.
She looked at Tang Chuan, and seeing him give her a reassuring look and nod gently to indicate that she would be alright, she obediently replied:
"Yes, Uncle Di Tian."
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ruier turned around and retreated to a distance, but still couldn't help but look back one last time.
After Xiao Ruier left, the faint black aura surrounding Di Tian slowly dissipated. He stood quietly beside Tang Chuan, and together they looked at the Lake of Life, which was like an emerald embedded in the forest.
After a moment of silence, Di Tian's deep voice rang out:
"Can you feel it? Isn't it beautiful here?"
Taking a deep breath of that rich, almost palpable life force, Tang Chuan answered without hesitation:
"It's so beautiful. This place is simply a paradise on earth."
His praise came from the heart, for the tranquility and vitality of this place.
It seemed to wash away all the pent-up frustration from his previous fierce battles and serious injuries.
Di Tian said calmly:
"Yes, this is the place that nurtures life. The lake you see is the most sacred life-giving water in our Star Dou Great Forest. This lake existed millions of years ago, and it has nurtured all the creatures of the Star Dou Great Forest. It is a miracle in itself. It took millions of years for the Star Dou Great Forest to achieve its own ecological balance. Back then, I and..."
He paused here, his eyes filled with a sense of melancholy, as well as a hint of barely perceptible awe, as if recalling some incredibly ancient and powerful being.
Tang Chuan didn't look at Di Tian, so he couldn't see the expression in his eyes. At this moment, he was completely overwhelmed by the beautiful scenery before him, and by the boundless life and ancient history contained within the lake.
The water of life, yes!
Only this name can express its beauty and sacredness.
After a moment of silence, Di Tian changed the subject, his deep golden dragon eyes refocusing on Tang Chuan, and asked a crucial question:
Do you know why I saved you?
Tang Chuan snapped out of his daze at the lake, pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then looked up and asked frankly, "Is it because of my relationship with Rui'er?"
Di Tian first nodded, then slowly shook his head. His gaze became incredibly deep, as if trying to pierce through Tang Chuan's soul, and he said solemnly:
"Yes, and not entirely."
He paused, his voice carrying a heavy expectation.
"I see hope in you, the hope of the soul beast race."
"Hope?" Tang Chuan was puzzled upon hearing this. Although he possessed the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline left by his mother, he felt that he was still far from being the hope of the entire soul beast race.
Di Tian turned his gaze back to the calm, still lake, remained silent for a moment, as if making a decision, before slowly speaking:
"It's too early to tell you now."
"When your strength reaches my level..."
"Perhaps you really do have a chance to reach that level, after all, you are human, not a beast. When that time comes, I hope... you can help me heal someone's injuries."
He didn't say who the person was, nor what the injury was.
But the fact that even a powerful figure like Di Tian would take this so seriously, even placing his hopes on a human who is not yet fully grown, suggests that the source and severity of the injury must be considerable.
