As the sovereign's hand slowly moved, the pile of corpses that had been stacked together began to part slowly.
At this moment, the sovereign's words were not finished.
"These mutated beasts are different from you. You humans can use the Exchange Stone Pillar and can utilize treasure lands, but mutated beasts cannot!"
"The reason they can evolve is due to the power from your home planet!"
"And the divine beast species can be said to be born of the Earth's will, created to protect this planet."
"They are the true life forms recognized by this world! They are the agents of this world!"
"Ultimately, my purpose is the same as the Earth's, which is to defeat the demonic clan."
When the sovereign mentioned the demonic clan, he paused slightly!
"You know there are many races in this world. Although you humans are the rulers of this planet, I have no reason to choose you as my agents, right?"
"The reason I chose you is that the human race is innately intelligent, possesses strong learning abilities, and has a well-established social system, which leads to a problem."
"What problem?"
Wen Yu, unknowingly, was drawn in by the sovereign's words.
The sovereign gave Wen Yu a mysterious smile.
"This leads to the fact that your human desires are stronger than any other race!"
"And desire, for you, is the driving force for progress! For me, desire can be better—controlled!"
The word "controlled" did not sound good.
"Like this!"
With a wave of the sovereign's hand towards Wen Yu, a white light swiftly swept over Wen Yu's body, and then...
Wen Yu's physical qualities began to decline continuously, until they reached the level of an ordinary person!
Wen Yu's heart trembled fiercely!
"Do you want your power back?"
The sovereign asked temptingly.
Wen Yu remained silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.
"But you must understand, once I give this power back to you, you will never be able to escape my control. Do you still want it?"
After a while, Wen Yu nodded again.
"So, you are easy to control. Of course, I won’t have you do this or that for no reason. After all, in my eyes, wild beasts are more powerful when they remain wild! They also grow faster!"
Then, the sovereign waved his hand towards Wen Yu.
A massive sense of power filled Wen Yu's body, even stronger than before!
"This is considered an extra reward for you, raising your physical qualities to tier 3 peak. No need to thank me! By the way, there’s also your little soul beast. Speaking of which, the soul master profession can also be considered one of the powerful professions."
With another wave of the sovereign's hand, the physical qualities of the little soul beast rapidly rose. Within just a few seconds, both Wen Yu and the little soul beast reached tier 3 peak strength!
However, Wen Yu felt no joy in his heart at this.
Because, no matter how strong, one still has to be subject to others!
"Don’t be unhappy. You must think that if it weren’t for me, you might have to take another path of enhancement, for example, to live like beasts, eating raw flesh and drinking blood?"
"Who knows!"
Hearing the sovereign's words, Wen Yu snorted coldly.
"So, I should thank you for that?"
"As long as you're happy."
"By the way, our story isn’t over yet."
The sovereign paused slightly and continued.
"We just mentioned that human desires are stronger than those of beasts, which is a strength, but also a weakness."
"And the weakness is like this!"
As the outer layers of corpses were peeled away one by one, the body of the little dragon was finally exposed.
Its scales were torn apart significantly, along with some flesh becoming a bloody mess. However, the injuries on its body were merely superficial wounds for the little dragon!
"What's just happened is quite interesting."
Just as Wen Yu was looking at the little dragon, which had closed its eyes and appeared as if it were sleeping, the sovereign's voice came again!
"This divine beast species is very strong, exceptionally strong! With your strength just now, you absolutely could not defeat him!"
