Upon hearing the words of the Gluttonous Beast Demon God, the faces of the two Dao-level experts turned as red as pig liver.
"Is this even human speech?"
"Did it actually say we're like dogs?"
"If we had known this beast was so ungrateful, we shouldn't have helped it dispel the calamity energy back then!"
However, now was not the time to regret past actions.
The two Dao-level experts suppressed their anger and attempted to persuade the Gluttonous Beast Demon God once more.
After all, with this Gluttonous Beast in the way, not only was it difficult for them to take direct action, but even the demonic beasts of the Demonic God Continent would shield it.
This was very disadvantageous for them.
Thus, they continued, "Gluttonous Beast, the Dao has issued a warning. The Divine Dao is the root of world destruction. Don't be stubborn!"
The Gluttonous Beast Demon God chuckled lightly, "Ha, what a joke! The Dao? It's just my backup food. What does its warning have to do with me?"
As if feeling it hadn't said enough, the Gluttonous Beast Demon God added, "You are both dignified Dao-level experts, yet you act like the Dao's dogs. I'm ashamed to be associated with you!"
The two Dao-level experts felt their heads ache upon hearing the Gluttonous Beast Demon God's words.
Great, it's like playing music to a bull.
Are they really acting like the Dao's dogs?
They were only doing this for the sake of all living beings.
Having reached the Dao-level, they could sense the calamities of heaven and earth.
They indeed felt the impending disaster.
Although the calamity seemed to be years away, they weren't sure what it was!
Meanwhile, they received a warning from the Dao.
It said the Divine Dao was the key to the world-ending calamity!
That's why they were willing to do whatever it took to eradicate the Divine Dao.
They did all this without a hint of selfishness, even suppressing their own exploration of the Divine Dao's cause and effect, all for the people of the world.
Yet, the Gluttonous Beast accused them of being the Dao's dogs!
Once wasn't enough; it mocked them repeatedly, as if it were inhuman.
A gentleman can endure, but there are limits; the two Dao-level experts finally gave up persuading the Gluttonous Beast Demon God.
In an instant, the three Dao-level experts clashed again.
But was the Gluttonous Beast Demon God really just opposing the Dao?
Of course not!
Back when the Gluttonous Beast Demon God was afflicted by your Calamity Tribulation Body, it gained many new insights about calamities after recovering.
A calamity is also a rebirth!
Because after experiencing that calamity, it became stronger than before.
This is also why it could barely hold off two Dao-level experts on its own.
So, in the eyes of the Gluttonous Beast Demon God, calamities are not frightening!
Your injuries were severe, but under Little Black's care, you recovered quickly.
In the blink of an eye, three years passed.
Your injuries had mostly healed.
You looked at Little Black, trying to communicate with it.
But no matter how you asked, Little Black only responded with the "clang clang" sound of a phoenix's cry.
Other demonic beasts could speak human language before reaching the immortal realm; why was it different for Little Black?
You had seen Little Black withstand a strike from a Great Principal Golden Immortal without a scratch.
Its strength was undeniable.
So why couldn't it speak human language?
However, it didn't matter.
You gave up on verbal communication with Little Black and tried to communicate using Divine Sense.
Soon, you indeed established a connection with Little Black.
Using your Divine Sense, you threw out a bunch of questions.
For instance, how did Little Black recognize you?
After all, your current identity was different from when you simulated before.
Also, how did Little Black know you were in danger? And so on!
In the end, the answer you got was just two words: "a feeling."
Little Black relied on an instinctive feeling; it felt you were familiar, felt you were its master, so it recognized you.
Receiving this answer, you were left speechless.
How abstract!
As for how it knew you were in danger?
Because as a half-step Dao-level, Little Black also heard the Dao's warning!
When it heard about the Divine Dao, it felt it was targeting you.
After all, in its phoenix life, you were the only one confirmed to have cultivated the Divine Dao.
So it found the Gluttonous Beast, who only knew how to eat, to help save you.
Upon receiving this information, you furrowed your brows.
Things seemed to be getting more complicated.
You never expected the source of everything to point to the Dao's warning.
But as far as you know, the Dao doesn't have personal emotions.
It shouldn't deliberately target you.
Could it be that the Dao developed its own consciousness and emotions?
But that doesn't make sense; even if the Dao developed consciousness and emotions, it shouldn't target a small fry like you!
