Douluo Continent: Little Huo Niang Taken Away by Di Tian
Chapter 178 I Was Once a God
Six months later, Huo Yutong once again set foot on the land of the Star Dou Great Forest.
This time, both Brigitte and Violet accompanied her, and their explanation to Shrek Academy was that the Spirit Pagoda had important matters to attend to.
She wanted to see him.
When this thought crossed her mind, Huo Yutong's heart skipped a few beats.
On the shore of the Lake of Life, the six ferocious beasts of the Star Dou gathered together. Di Qiu sat quietly beside Di Tian, with Xie Ying hovering nearby.
"The Frost Penguin and the Snow White Seal have lived up to expectations," Di Tiandao said. "The Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan and the Sea Princess Clan have been found."
Huo Yutong's spiritual sea stirred slightly, and the spirits of Electrolux, Tianmeng, Bingdi, and Xielin appeared one after another.
Almost simultaneously, the single eye of Xie Ming and Xie Lin lit up, and the innate soul skill "Mind Communication" of the Evil Eye Tyrant clan was activated, connecting the three places across the spatial barrier of the continent.
The figures of the Evil Emperor and the Demon Spirit were reflected in the light screen of the Demon Forest. In the light screen of the far north, in addition to Titan Snow Demon King Atai, Ice Bear King Xiaobai, and Ice Jade Scorpion King Ajing, there were two women with very different temperaments.
One was dressed in a dark blue robe, with hair like seaweed, eyes filled with anger, and lightning crackling around him; the other had a human body and a fish tail, with an exquisitely beautiful face, but a pale complexion and an unyielding sorrow between his brows.
"The current patriarch of the Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan, wife of the former Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and the Demon Empress."
"Lisa, the chieftain of the Sea Princess Clan."
Di Tian's gaze swept over all beings inside and outside the light screen. "As you all know, the human race is powerful, and the number of Soul Masters is increasing daily. If this continues, the fate of our Soul Beast race will either be extinction or being raised as sources of Soul Rings. I invited you two here today to discuss the way to survive."
Di Tian stepped aside and gestured to Ilex and Huo Yutong: "This is Ilex, the Holy God of Necromancy from another world, the Calamity of the Undead. The Soul Technique he created is the spark that will change the fate of our race."
"And this one, Huo Yutong, is the chosen one of this generation. My encounter with her was also guided by the will of this plane."
Electrolux's spirit floated forward: "The way of the soul is not a master-servant contract, but a symbiotic way..."
He spoke of the essence of the soul, and expounded on the possibility of transcending killing and achieving eternity together.
Tianmeng, Bingdi, and Xielin shared their feelings about being a spirit in turn.
The Demon Emperor's pupils contracted slightly.
Lisa's fingers trembled slightly.
They listened in silence, the words like thunderclaps, creating waves in their hearts.
Soul beasts and humans can coexist in this way? The need for soul rings doesn't necessarily have to end in death?
Electrolux's words lingered for a long time, with only the sound of the wind remaining by the lake.
"Ocean, something's happened." The Demon Emperor finally spoke. "Sea God Tang San, that bastard, for some unknown reason, ordered his pet shark to lead a large force to hunt down my Deep Sea Demon Whale clan. Those who disobey will be suppressed by force; those who remain neutral will be coerced and bribed."
With each word she spoke, the hatred in her eyes deepened.
The husband died under the trident, the tribe was forced to the deep sea trenches, and the former overlord was reduced to hiding in the east and west. All of this was thanks to the so-called sea god.
"My clan of sea princesses has always been neutral," Lisa continued. "Even in our faith, we only worship the previous sea god. But that new god... has never appeared, never offered any protection."
She raised her hand and slowly dispelled the illusion covering her body.
Her once smooth, jade-like skin was now covered in hideous black lines that clung like poisonous vines, emanating an evil aura that polluted the pure water elements around her. These lines seemed to be alive, writhing beneath her skin and bringing endless pain.
"When my people were slaughtered by evil spirit masters, when my daughters were corrupted by evil magic... where was the sea god?" Lisa's voice suddenly became shrill, tears silently streaming down her face. "They peeled off the scales of mermaids, extracted their spiritual essence, and forged evil artifacts with pain. Did the sea god send down a single bolt of lightning? Did he offer even the slightest help?!"
Inside and outside the light curtain, all the beasts were silent.
Electrolux drifted closer, his gaze beneath his grey robes grave: "This is a malevolent soul curse, forged from resentment. I... may be able to attempt to purify it, but I must investigate carefully."
"I will also do my best," Brigitte said.
The Demon Emperor's deep, ocean-like eyes locked onto Di Tian: "I am willing to join the Alliance of Ten Thousand Beasts. There is only one condition—kill Tang San."
"I'll join you too." Lisa covered her wounds again, her voice now calm, but beneath that calm lay a resolute resolve born of despair. "Heal me. If you can't... then protect my people."
Di Tian remained silent for a moment.
"Killing Tang San is revenge, but it's not the best course of action."
"The position of the previous Sea God was formed by the faith of Sea Soul Masters and Sea Soul Beasts, with the faith of Sea Soul Beasts accounting for the majority." He turned to the Demon Emperor and Liya, "What we need to do is not to kill the god, but to seize its foundation."
"Let the sea spirits cease to worship the sea god. Let all oppressed, forgotten, and betrayed marine creatures join the alliance."
The Demon Queen was taken aback, then she smiled.
"Good! Good! Good!" she exclaimed three times, lightning flashing in her eyes. "This will cause him more pain than killing him! To strip him of his faith, to destroy his foundation, I want him to watch his divine throne crumble!"
Lisa nodded slightly. "We believe in the sea god because he once protected us. Now that the new god is unjust, don't blame us for being unjust."
Di Tian looked at Electrolux, at Huo Yutong, and at every ferocious beast in the light screen.
"The art of soul spirits is the seed we pass on to all soul beasts. And today—" His voice echoed across the lakeside, like a vow, like a declaration, "The deep sea and the land will ignite the same fire. The Alliance of Ten Thousand Beasts will resound with the roar of the tides."
Di Tian continued, "How to get humans to accept the Soul Technology, how to get my race to do it willingly, and how to spread the fire across the continent and the ocean—these are not things that can be accomplished through empty talk."
The foundation of the technique created by Electrolux lies in the word "voluntary." Only when the spirit beast is willing and the human is sincere can a spiritual contract be formed, and symbiosis be expected. This is the great principle, and also the bottom line.
"However," Di Tian changed the subject, "if humanity continues to indulge in the old ways of slaughter, regarding our race as a resource to be taken at will, and insists on hunting down and seizing soul rings... then from now on, they will have no more chances."
Soul technology will become the only way to obtain soul rings in this world.
Those who are unwilling to volunteer need not volunteer. If the human world cannot actively accept this path, we will help it to "accept" it.
From this day forward, the Star Dou Great Forest, the Demon Forest, the Far North, and the vast seas that will eventually be subjugated, all belong to the autonomous territory of my Soul Beast race. Human Soul Masters are forbidden from entering without permission.
"Whoosh—"
Even though everyone present was a ferocious beast and a powerful figure, their hearts were still stirred at this moment.
"The implementation of new laws will inevitably encounter resistance, especially from the powerful among humanity. They rely on their strength to maintain control over the old rules and will not easily relinquish the power and interests they hold."
"Therefore, a battle is necessary before the fire can be spread far and wide."
I will personally go to the human world to challenge the strongest human in the world today.
"This battle is not for slaughter, but for establishing authority and vindication. We must let all mankind see that soul beasts are not their prey, that our race has dignity, power, and the wisdom and path to lead the times."
The art of the soul is not a mercy begged for, but a future we earn through our own strength!
Faced with the beasts' doubts about his chances of victory, Di Tian slowly spoke, revealing a shocking truth.
"I was once a god."
