As far as he knew, Aolai Beast Lord had died at the hands of a powerful enemy. Whoever that enemy was, anyone who had fought him would have known how powerful he was and would have absolutely no chance of resurrection. They would have destroyed his essence and blood, annihilating his remaining soul at all costs. Therefore, he had long since determined that Aolai was doomed.
"Yes, he is not dead yet, and he has also come to the Holy Continent. You will meet him one day." Mu Hanyan said.
"He's not dead. Lord Beast is not dead yet. He's back. Our beast clan is saved..." Taotie suddenly roared to the sky, tears of joy flowing from his eyes.
The Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast roared loudly, and in the surrounding mountains and plains, the beasts roared one after another. The earth trembled, the sky was full of wind and clouds, and the entire Black Wood Prison seemed to seethe with their roars.
In their roars, Mu Hanyan felt their respect, awe, admiration, trust and dependence on Ao Lai.
Just as priests are the patron saints of ordinary people, Aolai is the god of the beastmen and their hope. How powerful and domineering was Aolai back then, to command such awe and love from the bloodthirsty and unruly beastmen?
Her heart was deeply shocked again.
After a long time, the roars of beasts finally subsided, and the expressions of Taotie and the Red Thunder Golden Winged Beast also calmed down, but there was still some uncontrollable excitement in their eyes.
"Taotie pays homage to the Lord God!" Taotie prostrated himself before Mu Hanyan and said respectfully. Beside him, the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast also prostrated itself, its eyes filled with respect.
Since Mu Hanyan is a powerful person followed by Aolai Beast Lord, he is naturally the superior person they submit to.
"Don't you doubt what I said at all?" Mu Hanyan asked curiously.
"No one dares to blaspheme the majesty of Lord Beast. Anyone who dares to cheat in the name of Lord Beast will be an enemy of my hundreds of millions of beasts." Taotie raised his head and said solemnly.
Mu Hanyan nodded. Seeing their supreme respect for Aolai, she could understand his thoughts.
"How is your injury?" Mu Hanyan asked the Red Thunder Golden Winged Beast.
The Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast let out a few deep, muffled roars, still speaking in animal language, but Mu Hanyan could understand its meaning: "Thank you, Lord God, for your concern. My injury is not serious. I will be able to recover my spirit and soul after practicing for a while."
"I heard that you came from Xiaoshentian?" Mu Hanyan asked.
"Yes, I was born when the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast clan perished. Unable to bear the thought of my tragic death at the hands of humans, my parents carved out a small space and sealed me away. The sealed area is today's Little Divine Heaven. Originally, it would only take tens of thousands of years for the seal to automatically open, allowing me to return to the continent. However, the Sacred Continent was subsequently separated, and the laws of heaven and earth were incomplete, so the seal has never been opened.
"It wasn't until tens of thousands of years ago that the seal finally dissipated. But it was then that the Liu clan discovered me and imprisoned me in the Liu family's forbidden grounds. For ten thousand years, they repeatedly tempered my spirit with the Netherfire Soul Forging Technique. Finally, they took advantage of my weakened consciousness to forge a beast soul contract and enslave me," the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast replied.
When it mentioned the torture the Liu family had inflicted on it over the past tens of thousands of years, it naturally gnashed its teeth in hatred.
"It's okay, it's all over. No one can enslave you anymore." Mu Hanyan patted its head and said sympathetically.
Although the intelligence of high-level alien beasts is no different from that of humans, and they are even smarter and more cunning than humans, Mu Hanyan still habitually treats alien beasts, even divine beasts, that cannot transform into human form as it. Only those like Taotie that can transform into human form will be treated as him.
Seeing the genuine sympathy in Mu Hanyan's eyes, the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast actually gleamed with tears of emotion. It had encountered the Liu clan since birth and had been tortured, leaving it filled with hatred for all humans. But now, Mu Hanyan's care and compassion made it feel a warmth it had never experienced before.
Because Mu Hanyan had three sword pets, Aolai, Qilin and Taowu, in her past and present lives, she also had a faint aura of divine beasts on her body. This aura could not be sensed by others, but the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast was a semi-divine beast second only to the four ferocious beasts. Its innate animal instinct was extremely sharp, and it could vaguely feel Aolai's supreme dominance, Qilin's auspicious aura, and Taowu's familiar fierce aura from her, and it felt even closer to Mu Hanyan.
"So, you are not very familiar with Xiaoshentian?" Mu Hanyan asked again.
She had gone to great lengths to save the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast, not out of sympathy, but rather to learn about Little God Heaven from it, seeking the rare treasures that could restore the Ancient Tree of Life. However, it had been sealed away by its parents at birth, and Little God Heaven wasn't even called Little God Heaven at the time, so it likely knew very little.
"That small space is not completely independent of the Little Divine Heaven. Although I am sealed in it, I still have some understanding of what is happening outside. What does your Excellency want to know?" The Red Thunder Golden Winged Beast was indeed quite intelligent. Seeing Mu Hanyan mention the Little Divine Heaven several times, he guessed that she had something she wanted to inquire about.
"I have an ancient tree of life, which is now gradually withering. Do you know any rare treasures that can restore it to life?" Mu Hanyan had originally had no hope, but was overjoyed when she heard this and asked.
"Ancient Tree of Life!" Just like Taotie when he first heard about the Ancient Tree of Life, the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast also showed a look of surprise, but soon regained his composure.
After all, he is a powerful man followed by the Aolai Beast Lord, so it doesn't seem strange for him to own an ancient tree of life.
"Xiao Shengtian has many natural treasures that can restore life, such as the Xianling grass and Diyou grass that have long been extinct in other places. They are very helpful in restoring life, but they probably won't have much effect when used on the ancient tree of life." The Red Thunder Golden Winged Beast thought for a while and said.
Mu Hanyan's eyes showed disappointment. She had already found the Xianling Grass and the Diyou Grass. Just as the Red Thunder Golden Winged Beast had said, they really didn't have much effect on the Ancient Tree of Life.
"By the way, I've also heard of a rare treasure that might be able to help." Seeing the disappointment in Mu Hanyan's eyes, the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast felt secretly apologetic, and pondered again, and suddenly his eyes lit up as he spoke.
"What?" Mu Hanyan asked, perked up.
"That rare treasure does not belong to our Holy Continent, but is a divine weapon from outside the Nine Heavens. It is said that it contains supreme mystical powers that can both destroy all things and revive them. If it can be repaired and used properly, it should be able to restore the vitality of the Ancient Tree of Life." said the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast.
"Repair?" Mu Hanyan was slightly stunned.
