Chapter 195: Establishing a New Race

Xue Di also recovered some of her soul power and quickly stood up to greet Zhuang Xingyu, "..."

They were nothing more than words of loyalty and gratitude, which I will not mention here one by one.

Zhuang Xingyu waved his hand, "Alright, get up. 70 years is nothing. This is just the beginning. As long as you are loyal to me, you will have a great chance to become a million-year soul beast and even a god in the future!"

"Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, Titan Snow Demon King, Ice Bear King, you four don't have to be envious. As long as you are loyal and complete the tasks assigned by me, I will also help you when you encounter the heavenly tribulation in the future. If your contributions accumulate to a certain level, I can also reward you with a godly position! Immortality is not a problem!"

When the Ice Emperor and other soul beasts heard that they could become gods and live forever, they were overwhelmed by the promise made by Zhuang Xingyu. They bowed down one by one and said, "Thank you for your gift, Master. We have no way to repay you. We are willing to express our sincere heart to you with our lifelong loyalty. We will do our best and even die to repay your kindness!"

After hearing this, Zhuang Xingyu showed a satisfied smile on his face, nodded gently, and said: "I already know your loyalty. I hope you will continue to work hard and share my worries. I am trustworthy. When you have achieved your goals, I will grant you the status of gods!"

Then he turned his gaze to the Snow Emperor, "Where is the Ice Snow Girl?"

"The slave is here!"

"Let me ask you, do you think you are a soul beast?"

“Master, I have also discovered that I am very different from Xiaobai, Bing’er, and the others, but the difference between me and the human race is even greater. For example, I don’t need a spirit ring to practice, I have a lifespan of tens of thousands of years before I become a god, and I will have to survive the heavenly tribulation after 100,000 years… So, I should be a spirit beast!”

Zhuang Xingyu shook his head, "No, no, I call the soul beasts the demon race. There are intelligent creatures in this world, not all of them are either humans or demons! In addition to the human race and the demon race, there are many other races. It's just that no one has analyzed them before. Everything in the world is unpredictable. Even the human race, which looks basically the same, is divided into Zhongyuan, Yi, Rong, Man, and Di. Their physiques are very different, not to mention the uncivilized savages in the extreme west of Douluo Continent. What's more, even the demon race has very different appearances?"

Zhuang Xingyu paused, then continued, "You were born in human form, without a father or a mother. You are a living being condensed from the ice-attributed heaven and earth energy on the Arctic ice field. You were born and raised by nature... The correct name for this kind of creature is the [Spirit Clan]!"

After hearing this, Xue Di agreed with Zhuang Xingyu's statement very much, "It turns out that I am a spirit race, neither a human nor a soul beast. This makes sense for everything that happened to me."

Seeing this, Zhuang Xingyu took out a token from the Chaos Pearl Space, "Snow Queen, listen to my orders! I appoint you as the first patriarch of the Spirit Clan, responsible for commanding all the Spirit Clan in the Douluo Universe! This token has many wonderful uses, I hope you can explore them well, and find more Spirit Clan members to teach them to grow!"

"Yes, Snow Girl, I accept your order!"

Zhuang Xingyu continued to call on his troops, "Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, Titan Snow Demon King, Ice Bear King, I appoint you four as the four guardians of the east, south, west, and north of the spirit race. I hope you can help the Ice Snow Girl develop and govern the spirit race!"

"Yes!" The Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, the Titan Snow Demon King, and the Ice Bear King were overjoyed and agreed immediately.

Four rays of light automatically flew out of the token, forming a small "Spirit" character between the eyebrows of the four soul beasts.

A mysterious aura was bestowed upon them. "It's amazing. I feel like I can beat 10 of my previous selves!" The Titan Snow Demon King couldn't help but shout.

After the Snow Girl received the token, she felt a kind of intimacy she had never felt before, as if she had a home. Her affinity with the ice element between heaven and earth rose to a new level, and her strength increased several times. Her awe of Zhuang Xingyu deepened again. This token was born in the process of self-evolution in the world within the Chaos Pearl Space. The [Spirit Clan Token], now there are no other native creatures in the Chaos Pearl Space except the Shenlong, and according to Zhuang Xingyu's plan, the Shenlong is to be the leader of the demon clan.

Now it is a good idea to give the token to Xue Di. Although the token was given to Xue Di, Zhuang Xingyu, as the owner of the Chaos Pearl, can easily take it back. The token will obey Zhuang Xingyu's orders first.

Of course, the spiritual race here does not refer to innate creatures like Sun Wukong, but the spiritual race at the acquired level.

Zhuang Xingyu deliberately separated the spirit race from the demon race. In the future, there will be multiple races such as the elf race, the wing race, and the mermaid race.

Humans are very weak in their childhood. Although they are highly talented and grow fast, their lifespan is only a few hundred years below the god level.

Even if the universe is upgraded in the future, beings below the god level will only have a lifespan of a few thousand years. Compared to the lifespan of soul beasts, which can easily be tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, this is a huge disadvantage.

If, apart from the human race, all other living creatures are demons (soul beasts), it would be very disadvantageous to the human race.

How can one clan always win against all the clans?
It was fine when the human race was strong, but if the human race experienced any major hardships in the future, such as civil war, then without Zhuang Xingyu's intervention and help, it would be very likely that the human race would be counterattacked by the demon race, and the offensive and defensive situation would change, and they would become slaves of the demon race.

After all, the human race is the most prone to internal strife. It is easy to defend against external enemies, but it is impossible to defend against internal enemies. Unless you reform yourself every once in a while, this requires a very high level of prestige, skill, and strength from the human commander. Even if you have all these, sometimes it is beyond human power. This is a fact that cannot be denied.

Zhuang Xingyu can’t always be a nanny for the human race, right? What’s the point of the human race’s development then?

A successor must be chosen eventually, but the future successor of the human race may not have the ability or the willingness to do so, after all, there are too many people who will be offended. Or maybe the future patriarch of the human race himself is a vested interest group, so how many people have the awareness to ask him to change his name?
Let him fight for the bottom of the human race against the top, knowing that if he does this, the opposition will surely destroy him; let him know that if he does this, he will be smeared with countless dirty water after he leaves; his children will also be implicated. How many people have such courage? Only a handful can count.

Zhuang Xingyu himself might not be able to do it, and he doesn't dare to place too much hope on future generations.

The most important thing is that Zhuang Xingyu will be the master of the universe in the future. If he wants the universe to develop better, the most basic thing is species diversity. The human race cannot be the only one that thrives. Such a universe cannot develop.

Therefore, we still need to be fair and not take sides.

There is no other way. Zhuang Xingyu can only think of ways to weaken the external enemies before he becomes the Lord of the Universe and divide the demon race into multiple races. Even if the human race is really not righteous in the future, the chances of a comeback will be greater, right? After becoming the Lord of the Universe, he must try his best to be fair within the universe.

Back to topic!

Zhuang Xingyu took out a set of military books compiled by his family and handed them to the Snow Queen. "Ice and Snow Girl, you lead the four guardians of the Spirit Clan to unify all the soul beasts in the Arctic Ice Field as soon as possible! Set up the [Spirit Clan Guardian Army] and recruit all the soul beasts over a thousand years old in the Arctic Ice Field. According to the military tactics I gave you, practice diligently and wait for my orders!"

Suddenly, Zhuang Xingyu, who wanted to say something else, seemed to have discovered something more important. He hastily gave an order to Xue Di, and in a flash, he hurriedly chased underground towards the eastern extreme north.
