"Xiao Tu, I feel like Qu Yi somewhat wants to come with us," Qi Xinyue couldn’t hold back and finally said on the Blue Star.
Ding Huan had remained silent for a long time, only realizing after asking Qu Yi if he needed help. If he had understood earlier, he wouldn’t have asked.
So, he explained the reason why he was thankful to Qu Yi.
"Xinyue, what do you think our chances of surviving in the universe are once we leave Earth?"
Qi Xinyue finally understood Ding Huan’s point, just like when they had left the Zhan Shen Continent.
Except for her not being able to control her own fate, everyone else was prepared to leave even if it meant death.
Everyone who left the Zhan Shen Continent in search of God’s relics had received great compensation.
Even if they couldn’t return, they were still able to send the message back.
The reason the War Discs dispatched by the Zhan Shen Continent were able to find Earth was because a warship had arrived on Earth and somehow managed to send the message back.
In other words, their chances of returning to the Zhan Shen Continent even after occupying Earth were slim.
"These people really aren’t afraid of dying," Qi Xinyue couldn’t help but say upon grasping this logic.
Ding Huan let out a chuckle,
"Afraid of dying? They are more frightened of death than anyone else."
Qi Xinyue was puzzled,
"Then why did they come to Earth and expend so much?"
"To my knowledge, both the amount of Divine Crystal Stones and the two Energy Veins are probably accumulations of countless years by the Ruiya Empire."
"Ruiya Empire? The people I killed were from the Ruiya Empire?" Ding Huan asked.
"Yes," Qi Xinyue replied, "The Ruiya Empire was established by the Ruiya Clan, one of the three major races of the Zhan Shen Continent. Their influence spreads across the entire continent.
Those who could bring two War Discs and two warships to Earth are definitely nobility from the Ruiya Empire.
Logically, they wouldn’t make such a grand entrance here if they couldn’t return."
Ding Huan explained,
"They thought your warship had found the habitat of the Gods, so they came over in full force.
In their eyes, the strength of the War Disc and the Undying Spider is enough to dominate the entire race of Gods."
Qi Xinyue was a bit puzzled,
"That’s not right. I’m sure the warship we were on didn’t send out any information about finding the Gods."
"It wasn’t your captain who sent it, but Shi Keling.
Shi Keling not only pushed everyone into taking the blame but also sent out the information that they had found the habitat of the Gods," Ding Huan explained.
Qi Xinyue finally understood.
Ding Huan continued,
"If I’m not mistaken, there was another warship that came out with yours."
Qi Xinyue shook her head, "No, there was only ours, and the captain’s last name was Wu."
"You certainly wouldn’t know because you were the sacrificial offering, and the one searching for the habitat of the Gods, and even later to serve as venting for these beasts, they naturally wouldn’t inform you of this."
"Why?"
"Because once the habitat of the Gods was found, your warship would send back the coordinates and position. The purpose of the other warship is to receive the message; they must be waiting next to the Cosmic Transmission Vortex, awaiting news of the discovery of the Zhan Shen Continent’s habitat."
Seeing Qi Xinyue’s confusion, Ding Huan had to explain again,
"If I’m not mistaken, Zhan Shen Continent and our Earth aren’t even in the same star system.
Even if the civilization of Zhan Shen Continent is advanced, I guess they can’t directly send the message back.
So, they need a relay, once they find the habitat of the Gods, they send the message to the relay warship.
That warship, upon receiving the message, immediately travels back through the Cosmic Transmission Vortex, then sends the news back to the Zhan Shen Continent."
"Now I see," Qi Xinyue realized how lucky she was to have ended up on Earth.
The Divine Crystal Stones on the warship she rode weren’t many, it was even dubbed the Suicide Squad.
After a while, just as Xiao Tu said, once the energy and power supplies dwindled, the crew on the warship would become savage. She would not only be humiliated, but even her body might be consumed eventually.
Some people can do anything in extreme situations.
"We’ve arrived," Ding Huan controlled the Blue Star to stop outside the cave mansion of the Great Wilderness Golden Ape at Qianluo Mountain.
Lao Liu rushed out first, followed closely by the Great Wilderness Golden Ape.
Seeing Lao Liu, Ding Huan commented, "Lucky you, not only did you develop a Spirit Root but also reached the Third-level Fierce Beast."
"Mr. Huan, this is all thanks to your help, from now on my life belongs to Mr. Huan," Lao Liu confidently wrote down on paper.
Ding Huan handed a pouch to the Great Wilderness Golden Ape,
"Ah Huang, last time I took one of your herbs, here are a hundred Divine Crystal Stones, consider it compensation."
Hearing it was a hundred Divine Crystal Stones, the Great Wilderness Golden Ape’s eyes sparkled with excitement, with these stones, it might even become a true Demon Beast.
Recently being with Lao Liu, it was no longer just an ignorant Fierce Beast.
Ding Huan, however, did not place the Divine Crystal Stone in the hands of the Great Wilderness Golden Ape. He could not possibly have killed two Demon Beasts only to cultivate a new one.
He wouldn’t trust any promises, not to mention that he was about to leave this place.
Seeing that Ding Huan did not hand over the Divine Crystal Stone he held, the Great Wilderness Golden Ape quickly looked at Lao Liu and cried out.
Lao Liu took out paper and pen and wrote:
"Mr. Huan, Ah Huang says, please rest assured, as long as you name the task, it will comply."
Ding Huan was very satisfied with the Great Wilderness Golden Ape’s perceptiveness and spoke,
"I have three conditions that I need Ah Huang to agree to. First, Ah Huang must not harm humans but may rule over all the Fierce Beasts globally.
Second, I have a friend named Qu Yi. If one day she comes to you for help, you must assist.
Third, if any other Demon Beasts appear, kill them immediately."
Ding Huan had written in a notebook for Qu Yi that if one day the Fierce Beasts on Earth became too powerful, she should bring the notebook to Qianluo Mountain to seek Ah Huang.
Lao Liu conveyed Ding Huan’s words to Ah Huang, and Ah Huang immediately agreed.
Seeing what Lao Liu wrote, Ding Huan calmly said,
"It doesn’t matter whether you agree or not, what is important is to establish a soul blood oath."
Ding Huan had not understood soul blood oaths before but had learned about them from Fierce Beasts after subduing Lao Liu.
A Fierce Beast swears by its heart blood, forming a Blood Oath Mark, which is engraved deep in the soul.
Just like the soul mark Lao Liu submitted, if one dared to violate it, the next moment their soul would shatter and backlash, leading to death.
Ding Huan was not afraid of the Great Wilderness Golden Ape causing mischief; he brought out the Divine Crystal Stone to the Great Wilderness Golden Ape simply to help it quickly enhance its strength.
If the Great Wilderness Golden Ape was unwilling to swear, then today would be its last day.
Lao Liu meticulously relayed Ding Huan’s words to the Great Wilderness Golden Ape.
The Great Wilderness Golden Ape hesitated, realizing that such an oath would constrain it for life.
Lao Liu could see the Great Wilderness Golden Ape’s hesitation and mocked,
"Ah Huang, don’t take it the wrong way. What loss does this oath bring you? Does it affect your transformation into a Demon Beast, or does it affect your departure from Earth?
Since you were not planning to oppose humans, this oath does not bind you in the slightest.
If one day you truly become a Demon Beast, what harm does helping humans do?
Moreover, by killing other Demon Beasts, you are actually helping yourself.
You wouldn’t allow another Demon Beast like yourself to roam freely on Earth, would you? This Earth is so small, how many Demon Beasts can it sustain?
Besides, without the hundred Divine Crystal Stones given by Mr. Huan, you’d never become a Demon Beast in your lifetime.
Having talent and potential is one thing, but without resources, it’s another matter."
Listening, the Great Wilderness Golden Ape thought, yes, this oath indeed doesn’t bind me at all, why should I hesitate?

If one day, it could cultivate enough to leave Earth, why would it stay in this barren corner?
The only discomfort was being pressured by someone else to pledge a soul oath, which was simply annoying.
Lao Liu continued to rub salt in the wound:
"Ah Huang, don’t blame me for not reminding you. Mr. Huan is quite impressed with you; that’s why he’s giving you this great opportunity.
Otherwise, with Mr. Huan’s patience, he would have eliminated you with a Wind Blade by now. Do you think you could last a breath in front of Mr. Huan? He’s giving you a chance, and yet you dare to act proud."
The Great Wilderness Golden Ape shuddered instinctively, yes, Ding Huan could easily kill him.
Thinking it over, Mr. Huan had indeed given him an opportunity, yet he was acting pretentious, which was simply courting death.
"Mr. Huan, I am willing to emit a soul oath with my heart blood."
Having fully understood the seriousness of the situation, the Great Wilderness Golden Ape promptly agreed to Ding Huan’s conditions.
Lao Liu quickly wrote down the Great Wilderness Golden Ape’s words.
Ding Huan nodded after reading them, "Since that’s the case, let’s start emitting the oath with your heart blood now."
After receiving reassurance from Lao Liu, the Great Wilderness Golden Ape directly struck out a drop of heart blood and then made an oath upon this heart blood.
Ding Huan formed several hand formations with his hands, swiftly forming a Magic Seal. The Magic Seal and the heart blood of the Great Wilderness Golden Ape created a clear Void Seal.
After the Great Wilderness Golden Ape finished making the oath, Ding Huan pressed the Void Seal into the brow of the Great Wilderness Golden Ape.
The Great Wilderness Golden Ape felt as if something extra was in its soul, though this sensation quickly disappeared.
"Mr. Huan, Ah Huang’s oath was sincere, just as you instructed," wrote Lao Liu.
Ding Huan was very pleased and handed over a pouch to the Great Wilderness Golden Ape:
"Go cultivate now. I have killed a few Demon Beasts on Earth. Once you become a Demon Beast, you can indeed rule over all the Fierce Beasts. Just remember your oath."
Hearing Ding Huan mention killing a few Demon Beasts, the Great Wilderness Golden Ape subconsciously felt a chill on the back of its neck.
Fortunately, it had listened to Lao Liu.
"Lao Liu, I am about to leave Earth. If you…"
Ding Huan was about to propose that Lao Liu take an oath if he did not wish to come along, but Lao Liu promptly interrupted,
"Mr. Huan, I am your Beast Pet. Wherever you go, I naturally go."
Ding Huan was not surprised; it was normal for Lao Liu to come along.
To this creature, death was not fearsome; what was fearsome was not being able to enhance its cultivation.
"Since that’s settled, let’s board the Blue Star. We’ll pick up a few things and then depart." Ding Huan waved his hand and boarded the Blue Star directly.
