"Di Tian!" Di Qiu'er exclaimed anxiously, "How could you do such a thing?"
She only considered that once the fake lover plan was implemented, Di Tian would not harm Huo Yuhao for her own sake. However, she did not expect that the other party would want to keep Huo Yuhao in the Star Dou Great Forest for a long time.
Although she longed to spend time with Huo Yuhao for a long time, she would never agree to it if it came at the cost of Huo Yuhao's freedom!
"My dear beast, I'm sorry. All the things I did were for you and for the soul beast clan. Don't worry, since I promised not to harm Huo Yuhao, I will definitely keep my word!" Di Tian looked at Di Qiu'er and said apologetically.
Huo Yuhao looked at Di Tian and said calmly, "Di Tian, I cannot accept your request. After all, I still have some things to take care of in the human world. If I stay in the Star Dou Great Forest for a long time, it will interfere with my plans. So, you should give up this unreasonable request!"
"Huo Yuhao, you have no choice but to agree." Di Tian frowned slightly.
Even if the opponent has the soul spirits of the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress, so what? He doesn't know much about soul spirits, but he is absolutely certain that the strength that a soul spirit can exert is definitely related to the soul master's own cultivation level.
When I first met this boy, he was weak. Now, several years later, he is at most a Soul Saint.
Given the opponent's Soul Saint cultivation level, how much power can the Snow Empress and Ice Empress's soul spirits unleash?
As he spoke, he reached out towards Huo Yuhao, and a purple-gold claw shadow swept towards Huo Yuhao. This was not to harm Huo Yuhao, but simply to grab him and bring him to his side.
Suddenly, Huo Yuhao's eyes turned into an extremely pure ice blue, and a pair of ice blue wings appeared behind him. Cold air rose and spread from his feet, and almost instantly, the surrounding forest was covered with a layer of ice.
A unique aura of authority emanated from him.
Di Tian was immediately shaken, his memories surging like a tidal wave. He subconsciously withdrew the purple-gold claw shadow, his body trembling slightly involuntarily, and an incredulous expression appeared on his face: "Aunt Shui, is that you? Could it be that you have been reincarnated as a human?"
Chapter 592 Di Tian, you don't want the God Realm to know the whereabouts of the Silver Dragon King, do you?
This is definitely not an aura that can be faked simply by possessing the bloodline of the Water Dragon King.
After all, having seen the nine sons of the Dragon God, he sensed the unique aura of the Water Dragon King from Huo Yuhao!
Huo Yuhao was not surprised by Di Tian's reaction, as it was entirely within his expectations. However, the fact that the other party called him Aunt Shui did make him a little nervous.
According to the setting, Di Tian is the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King.
The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon Kings of all generations were destined to inherit the position of Chief of the Dragon God's personal guard. Of course, Di Tian has not yet given the Dragon God the opportunity to be the Chief of the personal guard.
Given the Dragon God's strength, no dragon was qualified to protect him. Therefore, the main responsibility of the Chief of the Guard was actually to assist the Dragon God in maintaining order within the clan.
Dragons existed in the world before the Dragon God appeared. However, the Dragon God was not only the first dragon to break through to the God-King level, but also an incomparably powerful Supreme God-King.
If we consider the Dragon God as the first generation of dragons, then the special cases of the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King can be considered as the 1.5th generation of dragons.
The Dragon Prince and the Nine Sons of the Dragon are actually considered second-generation dragons.
Although the Douluo series has some inconsistencies in its settings, according to Huo Yuhao's speculation, the so-called "nine sons of the dragon" refers to the nine sons of the Dragon God—the nine Dragon Kings.
In fact, the nine dragon kings were not the dragon god's biological children.
The most outstanding geniuses among the dragons were granted some of the attributes that evolved in their bloodline by the Dragon God. They then recognized the Dragon God as their father and master, which led to the creation of the Nine Dragon Kings.
In the original novel, with Mu En's help, Xuanzi successfully activated the Taotie bloodline within him, transforming into Taotie. This even caused Di Tian to unconsciously call out "Uncle Taotie," and the narrator also introduced that the fifth son of the Dragon God was Taotie.
So, among the nine Dragon Kings, who, like Xuanzi, is of the Earth element? The answer is simple—the Earth Dragon King.
From this, we can deduce that Taotie is the Earth Dragon King. As for the Mountain Dragon King, he has a stable attribute and is responsible for transforming into mountains and continents and calming surging waves, which has nothing to do with the earth attribute.
Although some settings in the original work are somewhat chaotic or even missing, based on the current clues, it can still be inferred that Di Tian should be a true third-generation dragon, after all, he is qualified to call the fifth son of the Dragon God, Taotie, "Uncle".
As for Di Tian's father, he should be the Dark Dragon King, who was the chief of the Dragon God's personal guard during the Dragon God era.
The position of Chief of the Dragon God's Personal Guard of Emperor Tian should, in theory, be inherited from his father.
Hmm, this could be written into a perfect Douluo Continent essay titled "My Dark Dragon King Father".
"Di Tian, in fact, I am not the reincarnation of the Water Dragon King. I have only inherited some of her legacy and will be able to re-establish her divine position in the future. In a sense, I am her successor." Huo Yuhao did not directly admit to being the reincarnation of the Water Dragon King. After all, even if he chose to lie and directly admit to this identity, even if he could deceive Di Tian, could he really deceive the Silver Dragon King?
Although the Silver Dragon King is a romantic at heart, she hasn't been in a relationship yet, so her romantic tendencies are currently dormant. Therefore, in this kind of situation, it's impossible for the other party to be deceived by her.
Di Tian's eyes revealed a look of disappointment. As the Beast God, he usually felt a lot of pressure. It was a happy thing to finally meet someone who might be the reincarnation of a powerful figure in his clan.
However, according to the other party, he was merely an heir, which naturally made him feel somewhat depressed.
"The successor? In other words, you will become the God King in the future?" Di Tian's gaze gradually turned cold. To him, the Beast God, humans were undoubtedly untrustworthy beings. If another human became the God King, the hope of reviving the Soul Beast race would undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
If it were possible to prevent this person from becoming a god...
Judging from the slightly off tone of the other party, Huo Yuhao roughly understood that Di Tian might be having some dangerous thoughts.
He nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, I will indeed become a God-King in the future. However, Di Tian, I know that in your eyes, I have not yet grown up, and perhaps you can secretly use tricks to prevent me from becoming a god."
However, don't forget, the Silver Dragon King of the Lake of Life is currently the most wanted criminal in the Divine Realm. As someone who inherited part of the Water Dragon King's legacy, I have some special means to let the five Divine Kings know that the Silver Dragon King is here. Di Tian, you don't want the Divine Realm to know the Silver Dragon King's whereabouts, do you?"
According to the legends of the divine realm, the five great god-kings of the divine realm actually had no idea where the Silver Dragon King was.
That's normal. The Silver Dragon King is half of the Dragon God. Even if he suffers a severe injury, he should have no shortage of ways to escape and hide himself. After all, the Dragon God was the supreme god-king back then. Even the first generation of Asura God had to respectfully call the Dragon God "Lord".
Upon hearing these words, Di Tian was greatly shocked; having his thoughts exposed was secondary.
However, the existence of the Lord is undoubtedly a top secret to the Soul Beast race.
After all, the Lord is the hope for the revival of the Soul Beast race. Some Soul Beasts have accumulated enough power to become gods, but they just can't become divine beasts.
In his understanding, if the master were to return to his peak and find the Golden Dragon King, they could merge into one, allowing the Dragon God to reappear, thus making the dragon race great again and revitalizing the soul beast race.
He subconsciously looked at Di Qiu'er, wondering if she had been blinded by love and had said something like this.
Di Qiu'er is still angry about Di Tian threatening Huo Yuhao. As for Huo Yuhao threatening Di Tian in return, in her opinion, if Di Tian hadn't taken threatening measures, how could Huo Yuhao have threatened Di Tian?
Ultimately, it was because Di Tian made a mistake first that Huo Yuhao took countermeasures.
She glared at Di Tian with some displeasure: "What? Di Tian, you don't think I leaked the secret, do you? How could I possibly go around telling everyone something like this!"
Di Tian, feeling somewhat guilty, withdrew his gaze and continued looking at Huo Yuhao, trying his best to speak in a gentle tone: "Huo Yuhao, how did you know about the Master's affairs?"
Huo Yuhao said calmly, "Di Tian, I don't need to answer your question. However, I know a lot of things, such as the truth behind the fall of the Dragon God."
"Could there be some hidden story behind this?" Di Tian asked anxiously. He was too young when the Dragon God fell and had no idea why such a thing had happened.
"Of course there's a hidden story, but whether I tell you the truth depends on your sincerity," Huo Yuhao said with a smile.
“You…” Di Tian’s expression was somewhat unpleasant, but he no longer had the idea of keeping Huo Yuhao in the Star Dou Great Forest or preventing him from becoming a god. He admitted that he was being manipulated. After all, his master was too important, and he couldn’t afford to take the risk. He could only bow his head.
Di Tian spoke up, "What do you want?"
Chapter 593 Di Tian, you will regret this! Xiong Jun, I am the true Beast God!
As the Beast God, Di Tian needs to act in the best interests of the entire Soul Beast race.
In his view, since he was currently being threatened by Huo Yuhao, even if he was very unhappy, he still had to adopt a good attitude.
After all, the threat the other party had just made was exactly what he feared most.
He wasn't afraid of death, but he was afraid something would happen to his lord.
If something really happens to their master, the soul beast race will be forced to move forward in darkness, never to see the light of hope again.
Therefore, he could only try to make an exchange of benefits with Huo Yuhao in order to keep the other party in check as much as possible.
"I want to cooperate with you to promote the Soul Spirit Technique, so that those soul beasts whose lifespan is about to end can continue to exist in this world in another form. At this stage, this is a win-win situation for both humans and soul beasts."
"Of course, because you just threatened me and caused me some mental stress, I need you to compensate me for the emotional damage I suffered." Huo Yuhao directly stated his current conditions.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's calm and composed demeanor throughout, Di Tian felt somewhat annoyed, thinking to himself, "You still have mental pressure? It's clearly us who have mental pressure!"
Who would have thought that a human could not only inherit the Water Dragon King's legacy, but also know of the Lord's existence and use the Lord to threaten him?
"Compensate you? Hmph, human, don't push your luck!" Di Tian displayed a tough attitude, his eyes flashing with golden light, his face solemn and icy, looking imposing without being angry.
He knew that compensation was inevitable, but by taking a tough stance, he could lower the other party's expectations as much as possible, thereby minimizing the losses to the Star Dou Great Forest.
As someone who had dealt with humans for many years, Di Tian thought he had a deep understanding of human nature.
Huo Yuhao looked at Di Tian and said, "First of all, I need a large number of soul bones. For you, collecting a large number of soul bones should not be difficult."
Di Tian glared at Huo Yuhao: "Huo Yuhao, do you know what you're saying? A whole batch of soul bones? Do you want me, the Beast God, to slaughter soul beasts? What kind of Beast God am I then! I'd rather fight you to the death today!"
Huo Yuhao shook his head: "Di Tian, I never said I wanted you to slaughter soul beasts on a large scale. In fact, I am quite interested in the soul bones left behind by the dead soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, as well as the soul bones left behind by some dead soul masters. Give them to me as part of the compensation."
The Star Dou Great Forest has a long history, and countless soul beasts have perished in the forest.
Even though not every fallen soul beast can produce soul bones, the number of soul bones accumulated over the years is still enormous.
Of course, there must be some Soul Masters who possessed Soul Bones who died in the Star Dou Great Forest for various reasons, and whose Soul Bones were not retrieved. Although these Soul Bones are few in number, every little bit helps.
As for the soul beasts, they were too lazy to destroy these soul bones. After all, soul beasts had no use for soul bones; they probably wouldn't even bother using them to pick their teeth.
Di Tian frowned slightly and said, "Your conditions are too harsh; I cannot accept them for the time being."
"Di Tian, I remember you often said that those soul bones are useless. If that's the case, why can't we give those soul bones to Yu Hao?" Di Qiu'er asked with some doubt. For soul beasts, soul bones are indeed not very useful.
Di Tian's face darkened. He felt that the auspicious beast was siding with outsiders. Those soul bones were indeed of little use to soul beasts.
Actually, it could also be given to Huo Yuhao.
However, negotiation is about engaging in verbal maneuvering as much as possible; how can you agree to someone's conditions right away?
Wouldn't that mean losing the initiative?
Now the auspicious beast is completely siding with outsiders and hasn't considered its own feelings at all. Thinking of this, Di Tian felt a pang of heartache. How could such a beautiful auspicious beast fall in love with a human?
Huo Yuhao said with a smile, "Di Tian, give me those soul bones. Anyway, they're useless to you."
Moreover, this would reduce bloodshed. After all, Soul Masters have a need for Soul Rings and Soul Bones, and an increased supply of Soul Bones would be beneficial. I am confident that, based on those Soul Bones, I can research and develop genuine artificial Soul Bones, thereby allowing Soul Masters to further reduce their killing of Soul Beasts.
"A real artificial soul bone?" Anger flashed between Di Tian's brows. "You mean the kind of secret technique soul bone created by killing a large number of identical soul beasts in a short period of time and then using a secret method to guide them?"
As a Beast God, he naturally couldn't be completely ignorant of the human world. He learned about artificial soul bones from some soul masters who came to the Star Dou Great Forest to create them.
Of course, those Soul Masters who used extremely cruel methods are now buried with grass growing three feet tall on their graves.
“Naturally, it won’t be that kind of soul bone.” Huo Yuhao explained patiently, “With in-depth research and technological development, we can actually mass-produce real artificial soul bones, or even artificial soul spirits, without killing soul beasts.”
Of course, some artificial souls or soul bones in later generations, although they utilized genetic technology, were extremely ineffective because they were made from the genes of ordinary animals and plants.
As for artificial soul spirits and artificial soul bones made from soul beast genes, theoretically they would be even more effective.
Leaving aside artificial soul bones, Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King in Douluo Continent III, created a ten-thousand-year-old artificial soul spirit.
In Douluo Continent IV: Ultimate Douluo, with the development of technology, the Spirit Pagoda can even artificially create 100,000-year-old soul spirits.
Although it lacks some spirituality, it cannot compare to the 100,000-year-old soul spirit transformed from a soul beast.
However, a man-made soul that is 100,000 years old is already extremely extraordinary.
