Douluo Simulator: I, Huo Yuhao, am cultivating immortality

Chapter 173 The reason why the sea soul beast did not eat at the table
"Your Majesty Gu Yue, I would like to ask, why is there no place for sea soul beasts in the plan of the Spirit Pagoda?"

Lijing looked at Gu Yuena in confusion, not understanding why they excluded sea soul beasts since their purpose was to ease the conflict between humans and soul beasts.

Gu Yuena looked at Li Jing expressionlessly. Her deep eyes made Li Jing feel as if she was seen through from the inside out. All the muscles in her body tensed up, and she thought to herself that her disguise would not be seen through. Considering that Gu Yuena came from the mysterious Xingdou Great Forest, this situation did not seem impossible.

"I was born in a port city by the sea, and the conflicts between the people there and the sea soul beasts are very intense. So I was thinking that if we also had a Spirit Transfer Tower there, it would be a good thing for both the people and the sea soul beasts living there."

After saying that, Lijing looked at Gu Yuena cautiously. Seeing that she didn't react at all, she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but became nervous again the next second.

Gu Yuena said calmly, "The affairs of sea soul beasts are not the responsibility of the Star Dou Great Forest. Little girl, why don't you pray and ask the sea god they believe in what to do."

"Is that so? I understand." Lijing heard the slight emphasis in the words and thought to herself that she had indeed been discovered.

Fortunately, the other party had no intention of exposing her, which made Lijing's violently beating heart calm down a lot. At the same time, she also learned the reason why the sea soul beast was excluded.

So it's a matter of faith? Lijing thought to herself in a depressed tone.

I heard from my mother that the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest believe in the Dragon God from ancient times, and seem to be naturally incompatible with beliefs in other gods.

But if that is the case, why was the Far North Snowfield, which believes in the Ice God, able to join? Was it because of the relationship between Huo Yuhao and the little snow girl in front of him who looked like Aunt Xue?

Lijing looked at Xue Di and Huo Yuhao curiously, wondering if she should "sacrifice" for the greater good of the sea soul beasts.

Without saying anything else, let the Sea Princess’ clan join in first.

She has more than a thousand tribesmen who have reached the end of their lives. If they can become spirits, not only will their lifespans be greatly extended, but they can also experience life as humans, which is definitely something to be happy about.

But soon, Huo Yuhao's next words shattered all the fantasies in Lijing's mind.

Huo Yuhao said, “The reason why we didn’t allow the sea soul beasts to join is not just a matter of faith. Sister Lijing lives by the sea, so she should know how large and deep the ocean is. Some sea soul beasts like to live in shallow seas, while some like to live in deep seas. The Spirit Transfer Tower can still satisfy the former, but it is absolutely impossible to live in the deep sea. It is impossible to build it with the current level of technology.”

"There is also the number and size of sea soul beasts. The essence of the Soul Pagoda is a nursing home. Soul beasts that have a short lifespan and voluntarily become spirits can spend the rest of their lives in the Soul Pagoda in peace. We can draw a circle on land and tell other soul beasts not to enter, but how should we draw a circle in the ocean? If we draw it too small, the living space will be limited, and living in the Soul Pagoda will be no different from having your hands and feet tied up; if we draw it too large, the management cost and difficulty will increase dramatically, and it may even anger other sea soul beasts and cause them to attack."

"And more and more."

As Huo Yuhao continued to explain, Li Jing's expression completely collapsed, and Xue Di shook her head helplessly. She had also proposed that the Sea Princess family join the Soul Plan to prepare for the future entry into the ocean and ease the relationship between humans and sea soul beasts.

But after Huo Yuhao discussed it seriously with Gu Yuena, he gave a negative answer.

Faith is just a small issue. Although Gu Yuena felt it was infuriating, she just mocked them and didn't want to do anything to those sea soul beasts who knew nothing.

The problem is that the ocean environment is too special. Not to mention the soul guide technology in the Douluo World, even the various black technologies in Red Alert cannot guarantee the establishment of a gathering place suitable for sea soul beasts to live.

Soul spirits are just a trigger. Their appearance only makes humans pay more attention to the relationship between soul beasts, so that more soul beasts are willing to become soul spirits instead of waiting to die with hatred for humans. You know, the sealed milk bottle has been invented by Xuan Ziwen, and there are not many restrictions on the popularization of soul guides. Soon the process of human urbanization will be accelerated, and the side effect is that it seriously damages the habitat of soul beasts, making soul beasts displaced and their numbers sharply reduced.

With souls, humans have interests to consider, and will take the situation of soul beasts into consideration during development. What really plays a decisive role is the subsequent negotiations between humans and Emperor Tian.

In Huo Yuhao's opinion, the situation of soul beasts is actually the same as that of animals in the previous world. The situation of the former is even better. At least when facing guns and cannons, soul beasts still have room to fight back.

Correspondingly, the animal protection laws and establishment of nature reserves stipulated in the original world are also effective on the Douluo Continent.

Huo Yuhao naturally didn’t understand these things, but he had various talented people from Shenzhou behind him. Soon they wrote soul beast protection regulations and nature reserve plans based on the animal protection experience recorded in the Qinglong ship.

These were the conditions that Emperor Tian negotiated with the top leaders of Douluo Continent shortly afterwards, in order to gain living space for soul beasts.

The situation of sea soul beasts is a little different. Compared with the land with suitable living environment, the ocean, especially the deep sea, is a place where Titled Douluo would say "the environment is too extreme" when they see it.

This limits the development of the ocean by various countries to the shallow seas not far from the shore, and has no impact on most of the soul beasts in the ocean. Unless some people are mentally twisted and insist on going to the sea to carry out some kind of genocide, the conflict between humans and sea soul beasts is actually not very serious.

If the sea soul beasts were brought in at this time, not only would the workload increase, but they might even be dragged down by the complex conflicts within the sea soul beasts, affecting cooperation on land.

In the absence of urgency and benefit, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena naturally excluded the sea soul beasts.

However, Lijing's words did remind Huo Yuhao that the news about the soul spirits should indeed be told to the sea soul beasts, so as to prevent someone with ulterior motives from using the name of the soul spirits to cheat and ruin their reputation.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao used the spiritual link to say to Gu Yuena and Xue Di: “Xue Di, Na’er, notify your subordinates later and have them spread the news about the soul spirit to the ears of the sea soul beasts. In particular, you must emphasize that the contracted soul spirit can only be found in Mingxue City and Xingdou Great Forest, and researchers will never leave the Soul Transmission Tower to conduct research alone. Anyone who pretends to be a soul spirit will be killed immediately.”
