Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 277 Snow Empress: I am a Soul Beast

"I'll try my best!"

After saying those three words, Han Feng stopped talking.

Xue Di remained silent as well. The two walked one after the other, the distance between them neither too far nor too close, but there was an inexplicable sense of estrangement. Han Feng and Xue Di may have noticed it, but they ignored it. Han Feng didn't care. Even if the other party was an extremely beautiful Limit Douluo, Han Feng would not kneel down to fawn over her. Xue Di, on the other hand, was simply cold.

Because Han Feng couldn't use his soul power, the two of them moved very slowly, and it took them two whole days to get close to the Ice God's inheritance site.

During this time, because of Xue Di's presence, no soul beasts or soul masters discovered them.

But through the wind and snow, Han Feng and Xue Di could clearly see every Soul Master and Soul Beast along the way!

There are migrations of soul beast clans from afar, battles between soul beasts, fights between soul masters and soul beasts, and even struggles between soul masters.

Han Feng, on the other hand, appeared completely unfazed. He had long been accustomed to all of this, treating it like a spectacle, occasionally offering his opinions.

Logically speaking, Xue Di, having lived for tens of thousands of years, should be used to such things. However, her recent experiences have made her uneasy, especially after learning that it is almost impossible for soul beasts to become gods. This feeling is even stronger now. Seeing soul beasts die at the hands of soul masters, she can't help but feel a sense of sorrow, like the plight of a rabbit mourning the death of a fox.

Finally, on the third day, after witnessing the scene of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast dying under the siege of a group of soul masters, the Snow Empress pursed her lips and couldn't help but ask, "Can humans and soul beasts truly not coexist?"

Actually, Han Feng had a premonition over the past few days, so he wasn't surprised when Xue Di asked the question. He simply replied dryly, "It's not that there isn't one!"

"Really?" Xue Di asked this question only to vent her frustration. She didn't expect Han Feng to answer her. But to Xue Di's surprise, Han Feng not only answered her, but also gave her an affirmative answer!

Any soul beast would inevitably feel resentment and anger upon learning of its fate!

The Snow Empress's reaction was already considered good. Ferocious beasts like Di Tian wanted to overthrow humanity's dominant position and let soul beasts rule the continent—the Snow Empress only hoped that humanity could give soul beasts a place and coexist peacefully.

At this moment, Han Feng's affirmative answer made even the aloof and proud Xue Di feel a tightness in her heart!

Han Feng shrugged and said casually, "But not now! As things stand, there's absolutely no possibility of reconciliation between humans and soul beasts. It's either you die or I die, it's that simple. But fortunately, we humans have the upper hand right now!"

Han Feng simply felt that Xue Di's emotions were too suppressed at the moment, which was affecting him somewhat. In order to make himself feel better, Han Feng spoke up.

Otherwise, Han Feng really wouldn't have time to indulge this great philanthropist in his lamentations about the past!

"Not now? Why?" Upon hearing Han Feng's words, Xue Di frowned and asked in return.

Han Feng sighed helplessly and said matter-of-factly, "The grudges between soul beasts and humans have existed since ancient times. There must be people who think like you, senior, but no one can change anything!"

"Soul Masters and Soul Beasts are inherently opposed. Where there are Soul Masters, there will be Soul Beasts to be hunted. Even if one day Soul Masters no longer need to hunt Soul Beasts to absorb Soul Rings and find alternatives, there will inevitably be Soul Masters who covet the power of Soul Beasts and want to completely resolve the hatred between the races. Unless another world is created, allowing Soul Beasts or humans to completely migrate there, there is absolutely no possibility of resolving this conflict!"

"Opening up the world! Hehe!"

After Han Feng finished speaking, he gave a cold laugh, clearly indicating that it was simply impossible.

Han Feng didn't mention planets, since people of this era certainly couldn't comprehend the concepts of the universe and planets.

After hearing Han Feng's words, Xue Di's eyes darkened. She understood that Han Feng was right, but even gods might not be able to create another world!

Moreover, the God Realm now deeply fears soul beasts and wishes for their extinction; why would they create a new world for them?

"Is there really no other way?" Xue Di pondered somewhat unwillingly, "Isn't there any way for a Soul Master to obtain a Soul Ring while the Soul Beast remains alive? For example, I know a method that allows a Soul Beast to remain immortal after sacrifice, existing within the Soul Master's body. Isn't that a form of coexistence?"

"A soul!?" Han Feng glanced at Xue Di in surprise, sighing inwardly.

What the Snow Empress said is precisely the prototype of the future soul.

"It seems this high priest isn't just a daydreamer; he does have some ideas!" Han Feng narrowed his eyes, inwardly acknowledging this.

Even so, Han Feng shook his head and said, "As you said, senior, it might solve the immediate problem, but in the long run, it might not only fail to ease the relationship between soul beasts and humans, but it could also exacerbate the conflict!"

"Why?" Xue Di frowned deeply and asked quickly.

Xue Di could also see that Han Feng was not the kind of person who spoke nonsense. Han Feng had real skills and indeed had unique insights into the relationship between humans and soul beasts!

Pressed by Xue Di, Han Feng had no choice but to reply helplessly, "As far as I know, this is a special skill that only soul beasts over 100,000 years old can use. Tell me, what normal 100,000-year-old soul beast would give up its unparalleled power to sacrifice itself for a human with whom it has a deep-seated hatred?"

"Even if we take a step back and improve the requirements for sacrifice so that all soul beasts can use it, have you ever considered that even ants try to survive, so what soul beast would willingly live a good life, becoming a soul that can only depend on others for its existence?"

"Soul Masters have virtually unlimited needs for Soul Rings and Soul Bones. It's impossible for a senior to simply offer a Soul Beast as a sacrifice just because a Soul Master already needs a Soul Ring, right?"

At this point, Han Feng raised an eyebrow and decided to get straight to the point, continuing, "Furthermore, senior, imagine yourself as a soul beast."

Upon hearing this, Xue Di opened her mouth, but did not correct Han Feng's meaning. She simply listened attentively to what Han Feng had to say—what Han Feng said was the most basic and truthful fact!

"If you were a soul beast, would you be willing to sacrifice yourself to an ordinary soul master?" Han Feng asked jokingly.

"Impossible!" Xue Di shook her head almost subconsciously.

"That settles it. Soul beasts can live for hundreds or even thousands of years, but if a human soul master can't become a god, a few hundred years is already the limit. Everyone can make a choice. Soul beasts aren't stupid either. If they're healthy and have no problems, who would want to shorten their lifespan?" Han Feng grinned and said.

Upon hearing this, Xue Di seemed to sense the amusement in Han Feng's words and instinctively wanted to refute him. She opened her mouth, but Han Feng spoke first: "Senior might say that human soul masters can become gods and live forever, like me, is that right?"

"Heh! Putting aside the fact that I only have nine spirit rings left and can't save the spirit beast race, personally, I don't like having the souls of spirit beasts existing in my sea of ​​consciousness!"

"Senior, you can consider this: if you were a soul beast, sacrificing yourself to me, but one day you disagree, would you listen to your opinion or mine?"

"Just like the Titan Snow Demon King, if I were to use your power to fight him, what would you think?"

Just think of the pale Han Feng; Han Feng was terrified of being tormented by the alien soul!

Just like Huo Gua ten thousand years later, five or six soul beasts held a meeting in his sea of ​​consciousness. Their strength was indeed great, but once they started causing trouble, Han Feng felt a headache coming on!

For a Soul Master, is a Soul a slave or a friend?

Xue Di was completely convinced by Han Feng. She sighed softly, her bright eyes dimming completely. She gave a bitter laugh and said, "As you said, I was indeed superficial!"

"You actually know that!" Han Feng rolled his eyes, thinking to himself with nothing but malice.

But he certainly couldn't say that out loud. Han Feng chuckled and said, "Senior, why worry about a group of soul beasts? The most important thing right now is the inheritance of the Ice God. Let's hurry on our way!"

In other words, what I'm saying is: You're not a soul beast, why are you thinking so much? Getting the inheritance is the most important thing!

If Xue Di hadn't stopped, Han Feng really wouldn't have bothered to say so much!

But to everyone's surprise, the Snow Empress suddenly stared intently at Han Feng and said slowly, "I am a Soul Beast!"

"Huh?" Han Feng blinked, unable to react for a moment, his eyes wide open, his mind blank!

The Snow Empress shook her head and said wistfully, "I am not only a soul beast, but also the leader of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, the queen of the Far North. According to you humans, I should be called the Ice and Snow Empress!"

"Snow Empress!?" Han Feng exclaimed in surprise, each word distinct. He had just spoken to the Snow Empress from a human perspective!

Isn't this digging a hole for myself?!

Han Feng never imagined that the High Priestess of the Ice God was actually the Snow Empress!

The Ice God actually found a soul beast to be his spokesperson!?
