Moreover, although the God of Destruction has conflicts with Tang San, he seems to be very good to Tang Wutong...
"Hmm, one hundred Soul Bones plus my cultivation in the Sea God Pavilion for a year, perhaps Yuhao can be arranged as well?"
Su Yu felt that this condition was not excessive at all.
Anyway, the God of Destruction only mentioned release; in Su Yu's opinion, it's simply giving up the intention of not releasing these people under any circumstances.
As for how to release them, it's naturally impossible to simply let them go.
Trade.
"Hmm, since they must be released, the previous two scenarios are no longer suitable. We can't let the battlefield situation influence Shrek, so we'll directly use the trade itself as an entry point to split Shrek and the other forces of Douluo Three Kingdoms."
Su Yu quickly formulated a new strategy.
Continue to wait.
Wait until Shrek is about to unite with Xingluo Empire's royal family and other large sects and forces to pressure the Sun and Moon Empire, then release these people from Shrek.
As for the talents from other forces?
Do not release them.
"Brother Yu, what's wrong?" Huo Yuhao saw Su Yu thinking for a long time and couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing, my fifth trial has arrived."
"Let's go to Xingdou Great Forest first, then you should return to the Sun and Moon Empire."
Xu Tianran had already summoned Huo Yuhao after the Soul Fighting Competition ended, but Mirror Hongchen had delayed it until now, citing Huo Yuhao as an important participant in the Soul Spirit Cultivation System.
...
Half a month later.
Su Yu and his two companions descended upon Xingdou Great Forest.
They landed directly in the Hybrid Circle of Xingdou Great Forest, where most of the Soul Beasts had reached Ten Thousand Years, and occasionally, even Soul Beasts over fifty thousand years might appear.
Of course, compared to the outer layer, the density of Soul Beasts here is much smaller.
Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts had no impact on Su Yu and his companions at all.
All three possessed the overwhelming pressure brought by powerful bloodlines, and no Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast dared to approach; they would even avoid them from afar.
"We've arrived."
Further inward from the Hybrid Circle is the Core Circle of Xingdou Great Forest, where Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts emerge.
At the center of the Core Circle lies the land of great fierceness, home to the Lake of Life, where the Fierce Beasts of Xingdou Great Forest reside, with Di Tian and others cultivating there.
When the three descended upon the Hybrid Circle, Di Tian sensed their presence.
As the three approached, Di Tian and other Fierce Beasts greeted them by the Lake of Life.
"The purity of this ice attribute..."
The ultimate ice attribute radiating from the pure bloodline power gave Di Tian and the others an answer in their hearts.
"Snow Empress."
"Di Tian."
As they met, Di Tian and Snow Empress each spoke.
"You've transformed!"
Di Tian's pupils contracted as he sensed Snow Empress's current condition.
"These two, are they human Soul Masters?" Di Tian turned his gaze to Su Yu and the others, speaking.
He was unclear about the purpose of Snow Empress bringing two humans to his side.
The two sides had never had contact in endless ages; yet their first meeting was with Snow Empress bringing two humans.
Moreover, Snow Empress herself had transformed into a human.
"Di Tian, these are two human Soul Masters from the Sun and Moon Empire, Su Yu and Huo Yuhao," Snow Empress introduced.
"Both of them are geniuses from Mingde Hall in the Sun and Moon Empire."
Di Tian nodded, aware of Mingde Hall's existence. "So, what do you want by bringing these two humans to me?"
The conflict between Xingdou Great Forest and human Soul Masters was focused on the conflict with Douluo Three Kingdoms, while there was no accumulated grievance with the Sun and Moon Empire; however, as the Beast God, Di Tian cared about the conflict between Soul Masters and the Soul Beast group.
Even as fellow humans from the Sun and Moon Empire, they equally irked him.
"To alleviate the conflict between human Soul Masters and Soul Beasts," Snow Empress said.
Di Tian's golden pupils contracted, but he refrained from ridiculing.
After all, this was Snow Empress speaking, not some random reckless person making empty claims.
Moreover, the message from the master just now made Di Tian rather curious about the way Snow Empress proposed to ease the conflict between human Soul Masters and Soul Beasts.
"This is Su Yu. The method I brought this time was developed by him, the Soul Spirit Cultivation System."
"Soul Spirit?"
"It's the Soul Spirit Cultivation System," Su Yu spoke.
"A Soul Spirit is this, but the Soul Spirit Cultivation System is a new Soul Master cultivation system optimized based on the Soul Spirit theory."
Su Yu released the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Spirit.
"Hmm?"
Di Tian's gaze fell upon the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Spirit, squinting as he scrutinized the Blue Silver Emperor.
"Soul Spirit,..."
Su Yu briefly explained the Soul Spirit, then began explaining the Soul Spirit Cultivation System.
"Yuhao, release your Second Martial Soul."
"Yes!"
Huo Yuhao's Second Martial Soul attached, and seven Soul Rings rose one by one outside his body.
The bizarre Soul Ring combination made Di Tian inwardly shaken.
This Huo Yuhao, with so many Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, plus the orange Soul Ring shimmering with multiple golden patterns, how many Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts and Fierce Beasts must he have hunted?
He immediately wanted to attack Huo Yuhao.
However, he restrained this impulse.
"My first six Soul Rings are all granted by three major Soul Spirits," Huo Yuhao seemed to sense Di Tian's malice, releasing three Soul Spirits and explaining.
As expected, Di Tian's killing intent subsided.
It seemed that Soul Spirits contained voluntary factors from the Soul Beast side. If Huo Yuhao's six Soul Rings were all bestowed by the three Soul Spirits, he could somewhat accept it.
"As for my Seventh Soul Ring, it was entirely condensed by myself using the Snow Empress's Bloodline Power."
Huo Yuhao said.
Di Tian also focused on Huo Yuhao's Seventh Soul Ring.
Self-condensed!
Without hunting Soul Beasts, and without requiring conditions like Soul Beast sacrifice as with these Soul Spirits!
Di Tian at this moment somewhat understood what Snow Empress initially said about mitigating the conflict between human Soul Masters and Soul Beasts.
Indeed, it held hope of achieving that.
However, the greatest dilemma for Soul Beasts wasn't the conflict with human Soul Masters, but the constraint that Soul Beasts can't attain Divinity!
The conflict between the two groups isn't merely a supply-demand relationship; the main issue is about races.
'Different races possess divergent intentions.'
Even if the relationship between hunter and prey disappears, there will still be other conflicts between human Soul Masters and Soul Beasts.
What truly grips Soul Beasts' fate is their lack of divinity.
Nevertheless, if the conflict between the two sides can be eased, it would indeed be beneficial for Soul Beasts as a whole.
Before new conflicts emerge, the situation for Soul Beasts could be significantly improved.
"So, you've come this time intending for me to lead the Soul Beasts of Xingdou Great Forest to cooperate with you in promoting the Soul Spirit Cultivation System?"
"That's correct. However, the Soul Spirit Cultivation System will first start from Mingde Hall before gradually being promoted."
The only reason is the completion of the Cultivation Technique.
The current Cultivation Technique hasn't reached the point where any Soul Master can casually learn it like the Meditation Technique has.
Therefore, it requires a mass of cultivation cases to support the simplification and perfection of the Cultivation Technique.
"You and Xingdou Great Forest don't directly border the Sun and Moon Empire, wouldn't there be some inconveniences?"
"That's something the Beast God need not worry about."
Within half a year, the Sun and Moon Empire has hope of conquering the Celestial Soul Empire, at which point convenience will no longer be a concern.
...
The conversation with Di Tian went surprisingly smoothly.
Snow Empress played a significant role, along with the impact of the previous destiny entanglement between Su Yu and the Auspicious Beast.
Beyond that, the intervention of the Silver Dragon King perhaps was the fundamental reason for Di Tian being so accommodating.
Of course, Su Yu did not know this.
...
"Elder Xuan, finally, you all have returned."
With the return of Xuanzi, Yan Shaozhe, and Qian Duoduo, the Elder guarding the Sea God Pavilion somewhat breathed a sigh of relief.
However, why were only the three of them returning?
Where are the others?
Where are our multitude of talents?
"Sigh..." Xuanzi managed a bitter smile, his body hunching slightly despite being in the best condition ever after receiving rewards at Qiankun Valley of Inquiry.
This time in the competition, Shrek had effectively been thoroughly broken.
And then Yan Shaozhe...
His upbringing was genuinely troubling.
Looking at Xuanzi's desolate appearance, Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo also displayed bewildered expressions in their recollections, prompting Elder Lin, Elder Song, and others into urgency.
Quick, tell us!
