Chapter 4: Birth of the Thousand Beast Pavilion.

Xiao Lu walked back to the lake in the forest where Da Ming lived and found the others looking at him in shock and awe. Well, who could blame them, Xiao Lu looked absolutely handsome and his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds. But the most prominent part was that there was a touch of divinity on him, a very strong one, as Da Ming and Xiao Wu's mother could feel.

Their instincts were screaming at them to prostrate before the boy and hail him as their lord, for the forest itself was bending in reverence, welcoming the 'nature's seed', congratulating him on his success in cultivation.

"Nice to meet you guys like this, but we have to cut it short as there are things I need to say and a lot I need to do. First of all, I am Xiao Lu, so you did not mistake me for anybody else. Next thing, I am going to join the Spirit Hall for I have a method to lead the Spirit Beasts to co-exist with the humans, a way to let us live in harmony."

"Yes, there is a way for humans to gain spirit rings without killing Spirit Beasts. But before we hand that over to them, we need to make a proper body governing and uniting the Spirit Beasts. Gather the leaders of each tribe, tell them that the Crown of Star Dou summons them, Er Ming, can you handle that?" Xiao Lu asked.

"I can Big Brother, I will call them right now and if anyone dares not come, I will smack them till they run to meet you." Er Ming said with a gleeful voice and left to gather up the beast leaders of each race.

The whole forest was in turmoil as the monkeys under Er Ming were jumping here and there, bearing news of the meeting and every sentient beast rushed towards the lake to watch the meeting happen.

The squad from the Spirit Hall gulped and felt their world view rattle like an old branch in the summer gale. They had to reassess the strength of the Spirit Beasts and their numbers and most importantly, that there was someone that could rally them like this. Just the thought of what such an assembly could do to the continent made shivers run down their spines.

The leaders of the tribes were here and most were displeased to see humans in the heart of the forest. The Spider Queen was almost drooling at the thought of wrapping them in her web and gobbling them up. The king of wolves was snarling while the Tiger King was still the lazy chap he was.

"Hello, you all, nice to meet you like this. I hope none of you will behave like idiots and make me hang you upside down for the duration of the meeting." Xiao Lu spoke in his usual warm voice but none of the beasts dared to underestimate the Crown, even if he was in his human form, the divinity radiating off him was enough to let them know not to mess with him.

"Good, we have an accord. Now, I have summoned you all here to speak of the future of the Star Dou forest and in turn the future of the Beast Kind and then the world. I intend to make a body that will govern and unite all beasts under one banner, under a council formed by the representatives of each race and the strongest of us."

"Er Ming, summon the 10 great Fierce Beasts and remember to be polite when you are before them, especially that old dragon. I don't want you dead because someone got a bit grumpy after waking up." Xiao Lu spoke, his words were the verdict.

Xiao Lu turned to Bibi Dong and spoke, "you guys need to leave, the ones Da Ming went to summon are far stronger than I am right now, I will meet you at the Spirit Hall. Now run with all you've got, once Di Tian wakes up grumpy, not even I and sister Bi Ji can save you guys."

Bibi Dong nodded and shared a glance with Qian Xunji and left as fast as they could, while they were on their way they heard something that they would never forget, a roar so majestic that it could shake the very heavens itself and it clearly displayed that Xiao Lu was not joking about waking up a grumpy beast.

"That roar, it was not at all the same level as the beasts we saw. Even Xiao Lu who now has the cultivation of 300,000 years does not have such power. And if there really are ten more like that, I think that it is in our best interest that we don't offend them." Bibi Dong spoke as she wiped a bead of sweat from her brow.

"Don't dally, we have to reach the Spirit Hall as fast as we can, only Lord father can decide something like this. Let's pray to the Gods that they watch over us." Qian Xunji spoke in a nervous voice as he rushed in the direction of the Spirit Hall.

Back with Xiao Lu:

Ten figures appeared near the lake while the beasts gathered there prostrated as they welcomed the lords of the forest. The Ten Fierce Beasts were gathered and Di Tian looked grumpy, the only reason he did not break into a disastrous fury is that Bi Ji was on his left arm, soothing the wild man.

"Welcome to the heart of Star Dou, you all missed quite a bit while sleeping. Sister Bi Ji and I have broken through to the 300,000-year mark and I found that I am the seed of nature and am ready to awaken my divinity. Then again, I have disturbed you old people to finally do something other than sleeping." Xiao Lu stated with his hands on his hips.

With his cute six-year-old form, he looked uber cute right now. Bi Ji and Zi Ji jumped at him and started fussing over him, pulling his cheeks and petting him, cuddling him, poking his nose, and a lot of other things while the others watched the esteemed Crown of Star Dou being toyed with like this and gulped.

"Good for you, but what do you mean by doing something?" Di Tian asked, with a warm voice. His earlier grumpiness nowhere to be seen, the little sapling had now grown up into a Great Beast, this alone was enough to warrant a celebration.

Everyone liked the tree that welcomed everyone under his shade, gave them shelter from the elements, and the delicious fruits filled with Spirit Power. He was treasured by each and every beast in the forest much like Bi Ji and was doted upon by all the Great Beasts.

"Don't baby me, even if I am the youngest, I am the biggest among all of us. Humph~" Xiao Lu huffed with a pout.

Di Tian just ruffled his hair and smiled, "all right, they won't bother you anymore, now what have you planned for us?"

"Simple, I want to form a body that will unite and regulate Spirit Beasts. I want to form a power that will daunt any that wish to harm us and then I wish to give the humans a path of co-existence. I can bless them with nature bestowed rings. The rings will be like the God-bestowed ones, but they won't grow unless I make them do so."

"Like this, the humans won't be backed into a corner and we can form a treaty that humans will not encroach upon the forests and oceans while we won't go to the mainland. The next thing that we can do is then open trade with humans, we give them what they want in exchange for what we want."

"Like this, when lady moon wakes up, we can have enough power and foothold for her to build on. Then again, we will take over all the God Ascension seats there are, simply because most of them are out here in the wild. We stop the Gods from getting new ones, while the old ones wither away and then we will ascend to divinity from those seats."

"Finally, I will go to the human's side and fix things from that side and fix things from that side and raise a puppet human who will ascend the seat of Asura God and finally take over the God realm."

Xiao Lu finished his speech to see the others looking at him like he was a monster, mostly with wide-open jaws while Di Tian was pinching the bridge of his nose, to think over the things he heard.

"Fine, how can we old people help you?" Di Tian asked.

"Simple, you guys can help me with making a council and unite the Spirit Beasts from everywhere, while Xiao Wu and I go to the human side." Xiao Lu said with a satisfied smile.

"Fine, but where will I get my fruits if you are not here?" Zi Ji grumbled before Di Tian could say something.

Xiao Lu simply focused on his Spirit Core and formed a seed, he planted it near the lake and used Nature's Grace to let it grow up. The sapling grew up into a tall 100-foot tree towering over them, looking like a mini version of Xiao Lu's tree form.

"Since all of this was your brainchild, did you think of a name for the power you wish us to create?" Evil-Eye Tyrant spoke for the first time.

"Yes, it shall be called the Thousand Beast Pavilion." Xiao Lu spoke with his chest puffed up in pride.
