Chapter 116 Soul Master and Soul Beast

Huo Yuhao temporarily skipped over the puzzling topic of why the Emperor Beast would want to participate in a competition between human soul masters shortly after arriving in the human world.

After a moment of silence, Huo Yuhao said to the girl through his spiritual power: "Since you are not going to use force to bring me to the Xingdou Great Forest, then you must have a reason."

"It can't be that you fell in love with the human world after living here for a few days and don't want to take me back."

The girl shook her head, "Of course it's not because of this reason. Although the human world is indeed prosperous, the only home that belongs to me is the Star Forest."

"But I have been in Diao College these days, and through the students' channels, I have learned a lot about the human world. The current development of you humans is too terrifying for today's soul beasts."

"I never thought of this before." When the girl said this, she looked straight at Huo Yuhao, and Huo Yuhao naturally understood what she meant.

If it weren't for the memories and concepts that she transmitted to the Emperor's auspicious beast when fate led her, then as a soul beast, even if she transformed into a human form, she might never truly understand the human world in her entire life.

The complexity of the human world and the consequences of uncontrolled human development are beyond the comprehension and conceivability of soul beasts with simple minds. Soul beasts without social structures naturally will not understand the lessons of history.

However, in addition to her identity as the Emperor's auspicious beast, the soul contract with Huo Yuhao also allowed her to break away from the limitations of soul beasts' vision for the first time, and successfully face up to the existence and contradictions of the two populations of humans and soul beasts.

For soul beasts, perhaps when the Dragon God fell, they had already embarked on the inevitable path of destruction, because they were nothing more than the burning embers left behind when the Dragon God fell.

For the Silver Dragon King and Emperor Tian, ​​as the commemorators and successors of the former dragon clan, they would regard the soul beast clan as a part of the glorious past of the dragon clan, but for them, there is no question of making any contribution to the soul beast clan.

Because they are the dragon clan first, and only then are the common leaders and beast gods of the soul beasts. This is true even though Di Tian has developed feelings for the soul beasts after living with them for so many years.

For Di Tian, ​​his useful body was preserved for the dragon clan.

But the Emperor Beast is different. For it, its existence is for the soul beasts. Compared with the Silver Dragon King, who is nominally the lord of soul beasts, the Emperor Beast is actually the true emperor of soul beasts.

With the emergence of the soul beast clan, the Emperor Auspicious Beast came into being, and her life is closely connected with the soul beast clan.

If the soul beast clan is on the verge of extinction, or disappears completely, no matter what, as the imperial auspicious beast that carries the huge luck of the entire soul beast clan, it will inevitably die.

As her understanding of the power of destiny gradually deepened and her control over it deepened, coupled with the intelligence bestowed upon her by the soul contract with Huo Yuhao, the Emperor Beast seemed to hear the elegy of the soul beast clan gradually playing from the vast vein of destiny.

This also made her mature quickly. For the imperial auspicious beasts, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's current age of 15,000 years old is not considered an adult. The peak period of the imperial auspicious beasts is when they are 100,000 years old, and that is when they truly take on responsibilities.

"I want to change all this, I want to change the living conditions of the soul beasts, I want to change the conflicts between humans and soul beasts." The girl looked at Huo Yuhao seriously, her eyes full of determination at this moment.

"Fate has guided me. If I want to achieve all this, your existence is indispensable. Your fate and the power of luck you possess are also the most powerful in the human world."

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, but for the first time he looked up to the girl in front of him, even though her thinking was not mature enough.

However, compared to Wang Qiuer in the original novel who abandoned her tribe for the so-called love under the influence of Tang San, this imperial beast now may truly be regarded as an emperor of soul beasts.

"My name is Huo Yuhao, what is your name?"

Huo Yuhao looked at the girl in front of him and asked. Regardless of whether he chose to cooperate with the girl next, the willpower that the girl possessed now undoubtedly made her someone worthy of his attention.

The development of soul masters and the survival of soul beasts are contradictions that are difficult to reconcile. Although they are not unsolvable, for Huo Yuhao now, becoming a soul master is not the only way to become stronger.

And since artificial spirit rings can appear in the original work, then Huo Yuhao now certainly has the confidence to develop it in advance, but what benefits can this bring to him?

"Diruel, this is the name I gave myself after I came to the human world." The girl, Diiruel replied
"So what are you going to do? Changing the soul beasts and soul masters, just relying on your words, not to mention that I don't believe it, I'm afraid even Emperor Tian won't agree."

Seeing that the girl did not answer, Huo Yuhao continued to smile and said: "I also know that Di Tian left the Xingdou Great Forest and went to the Sun Moon Empire a few years ago."

'Because my master is one of the few Ultimate Douluo masters in the human world today.'

"You were right. Because my luck is strong enough, I naturally have the power to protect me."

"If you had tried to call for Di Tian's help when we first met, it would be hard to say who would arrive first, my master or Di Tian."

"And this is my sincerity to you. Since you want to cooperate, it is better for you to know each other well."

This was not entirely correct, but Huo Yuhao relied on his understanding of the soul contract to carefully transfer his mental power.

After listening to Huo Yuhao's words, the girl pursed her lips and shook her head. After a moment, she said, "Although I desperately want to change the current situation of the soul beast, even with the memories you gave me, I haven't thought of a way yet."

"My understanding of humans is limited to your memories and the contact I've had in the past few days. Although there are humans in the Xingdou Great Forest, I rarely come into contact with them, and Di Tian has not given me the opportunity to come into contact with them."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao nodded, but he was thinking about the information that the other party had just conveyed. Didn’t Di Tian give her the opportunity to contact humans?

Logically speaking, the emperor's auspicious beast should be under the guardianship of the ferocious beasts around it, but this is not the case.

Combined with what Du Bushi had seen in Mingdu before, and the friction between Di Tian and the Sun and Moon Empire, could there be another hidden story behind this?

Yu Hao temporarily put aside all his doubts and continued to listen to the girl. "According to the guidance of the power of destiny, I have a premonition that the human world will experience a major change in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition in two years."

"I was planning to take advantage of this great change to find you again at that time."

"But I didn't expect to see you in Tiandou City just a few days later. To be honest, I haven't figured out what to do."

The girl did not hide anything. Although she had entered human society for a while, at least she had not yet learned the intrigues and deceptions of the human world.

At least she doesn't know yet that her thoughts and plans, whether they exist or not, cannot be easily revealed.

After hearing what the girl said, Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly. To be honest, he had doubts about whether there would still be a Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition in two years.

Because ever since they won the championship of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition five years ago and dealt a heavy blow to the reputation that Shrek Academy had worked so hard to build up, there has been no movement from the Sun-Moon Empire.

Although in the original novel, the news that the Sun-Moon Empire announced changes to the competition system and would include the sects of the three kingdoms of Douluo Continent except for the major academies as candidates for the competition was not announced until three months before the competition.

However, this result was decided after consultation between the Sun-Moon Empire and the three kingdoms that originally belonged to Douluo Continent. Now, there are only two years to the next competition, but there has not been any news from the four major empires, which is very strange.

If the Sun-Moon Empire sent an envoy to discuss the matter, then after the royal family of the Sky Soul Empire learned of the news, they would at least come to ask for the opinion of the Body Sect, which is the guardian sect of the Sky Soul Empire.

However, neither Huo Yuhao nor Du Bushi knew anything about this, so in Huo Yuhao's opinion, there might be big problems in the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition.

It is likely that the development will not follow the trajectory in the original book. Although now he is not sure whether this is just a delayed reaction caused by the butterfly effect he brought about, or whether the Sun-Moon Empire has other plans.

However, no matter what the result is, although the changes that may occur in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition are indeed not small, even if it develops according to the plot in the original work, it is indeed a key node in the trajectory of fate.

But it was definitely not a good opportunity for her as Di Ruier thought, but rather a huge pit.

So Huo Yuhao did not continue the topic at this time, but raised his own question: "I want to know what happened to the Xingdou Great Forest after Di Tian went to the Sun Moon Empire, and what about the humans you mentioned."

Hearing this, the girl froze in place, a hint of regret flashing in her eyes. She realized that she might have revealed some information that was unfavorable to Di Tian, ​​but things had come to this point, and she soon cheered up again.

"I can tell you, but we have to exchange information!"

Huo Yuhao nodded and was about to say something, but the girl breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Huo Yuhao nod.

So without waiting for Huo Yuhao to bargain with her about the value of each other's information, she told him everything she knew.

'After Di Tian came back, he seemed to have brought back a fire dragon egg, and also brought back a lot of human soul masters and some human soul mentors who were wearing black clothes but had a very cold aura.'

'Emperor Tian asked us not to provoke these humans. In addition, he also brought us many new things from them.'

'As for the rest, I don't know. Uncle Xiong Jun was very dissatisfied with this, but Di Tian suppressed it forcefully. That's all I know.'

Then the girl looked at Huo Yuhao with anticipation, hoping to get the information he mentioned.

After listening to the girl's description of the detailed characteristics of the soul masters and soul mentors.

Huo Yuhao could naturally guess that Di Tian had reached some degree of cooperation with the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Church and the soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire.

But looking at the expectant girl in front of him, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt a slight pain in his non-existent conscience. Was what he was doing now equivalent to deceiving the ignorant girl?

Shaking his head and getting rid of all these messy thoughts, Huo Yuhao said, "The root of the conflict between soul masters and soul beasts lies in the soul rings."

'Without a soul beast's soul ring, a soul master cannot break through, and the price of producing a soul ring must be the death of a soul beast, and the higher the level of the soul master, the higher the level of the soul beast he needs.'

'Although there are many other factors, such as the nourishment of soul beasts' flesh and blood to soul masters, the natural treasures grown in soul beast territories, or the precious soul bones of the soul master world, and so on.'

'But in the final analysis, the biggest conflict between soul masters and soul beasts is soul rings. If we want to resolve the conflict between the two races, we must first allow soul masters to grow in strength normally while getting rid of their dependence on soul rings.'

Looking at the innocent girl, Huo Yuhao sighed, and then said the next sentence he didn't want to say at first; "But in the final analysis, between races, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain."

'This is true even among your soul beasts. Tigers and leopards do not go with cattle and sheep unless the two species complement each other and cooperation is beneficial to both parties, and both parties are on the same level.'

"If you soul beasts were really given a chance to exterminate humans and become the master of this world, would you soul beasts really have no ideas?"

'To obtain spirit rings, spirit masters have even restrained their killing of spirit beasts to a certain extent.'

"So if the biggest contradiction between soul masters and soul beasts is really resolved, will soul masters continue to allow soul beasts to exist?"

After hearing what Huo Yuhao said, the girl fell into deep thought and confusion. Although she wanted to change the current situation of the soul beast, she had never thought about what Huo Yuhao said.

As a soul beast, fifteen thousand years is still too young. Even though she has the intelligence that comes from the soul contract with Huo Yuhao, and even though she has great ambitions, the girl is now confused.
