Chapter 374: Skeleton of the Mountain Dragon King (First Update)
Dragon Valley Secret Realm
"Your ultimate goal will affect the future situation." Huo Yuhao said calmly.
"What about you?" Gu Yuena asked back, staring at him with deep and complex purple eyes.
All along, the other party only revealed that he had some old grudges with the God Realm, but who exactly was it? It was ambiguous.
What is his purpose?
What is his purpose in cooperating with her?
"Me?" Huo Yuhao smiled.
"For me, although there is a deep grudge with someone in the God Realm, in terms of my position, I am firmly 'lawful'."
"The reason why I am willing to help soul beasts is that my rise, growth, and even my final deification are inseparable from them; if there was no guidance from Brother Tianmeng, I would not be who I am today, and I would not know Bingdi, Xuedi, Qiu'er, and Liya."
"Their existence is very important to me and has changed me. In my contact with them, I realized that soul beasts, like humans, have emotions, are the creatures of this world, and have their own desires and aspirations."
"My wish is to eliminate the barriers between soul beasts and humans as much as possible, so that they can live harmoniously in the same world." Huo Yuhao said sincerely.
Gu Yuena was also a little dazed when she heard these words.
She subconsciously felt that these were lies.
How could humans think of coexisting peacefully with soul beasts?
They would rather stare at high-level soul beasts and hunt them so that they can absorb soul rings and strip soul bones.
It's true.
Qiu'er looked at his figure very sincerely at this time, with a hazy look in her eyes.
She knew that what Yuhao said was true.
In the fragments of past memories she saw, he had been working hard towards this goal.
He founded the Soul Pagoda and proposed the concept of "soul".
He discussed the Soul Contract regulations with Sister Biji and the King of Ten Thousand Monsters.
Even under the suppression of the Sea God Tang San, he still did not give up this obsession.
In the end, he also fulfilled his promise and led those who believed in him to the God Realm, leaving behind the Soul Pagoda and the legend of becoming a god for future generations.
"Can humans and soul beasts really eliminate the gap?" Gu Yuena said in a deep voice, staring at Huo Yuhao in front of her.
Her words were not provocative, but she was stating the facts.
Human soul masters use hunting soul beasts and absorbing soul rings as the source of power.
The two races are naturally opposed, so that they can live in peace with each other? It is undoubtedly a fantasy.
"The Soul Contract can be transitioned first to ease the sharp contradictions between the two races." Huo Yuhao said.
"The Soul Contract is the spirit body you showed before?" Gu Yuena asked.
"They sacrificed themselves and lost their freedom. How many people in this world can become gods? If soul beasts are allowed to sacrifice voluntarily, it would be nothing more than drinking poison to quench thirst, and they would be controlled by others. All the benefits would be taken by you humans." Gu Yuena could not help but said coldly.
"... This soul contract has restrictions. The host cannot force the soul to do things. The contract targets most of the old, weak, sick and disabled soul beasts whose lifespans are about to end. Moreover, this is a process of mutual selection..." Qiu'er carefully defended Huo Yuhao.
"Even so, so what? In the end, it can only take care of some soul beasts and meet the needs of a very small number of humans. You must know that greed is the instinct of living things, especially when the initiative is in your hands. The so-called soul contract is just another butcher knife wielded at our clan. Do you really think that it is not a "butcher knife" if it is wrapped in sugar coating and takes the life of soul beasts?" Gu Yuena retorted.
Huo Yuhao was silent.
He felt that Gu Yuena was just a nitpicker.
Save the world?
You should think of a foolproof plan.
Gu Yuena seemed to realize that her rebuttal was a bit too much.
After all, he was the first human to think of a solution for soul beasts.
Even if the method was criticized, the starting point was good after all.
"Sorry..." Gu Yuena apologized and lowered her head slightly.
"You should move out." Huo Yuhao said.
Ah?
Gu Yuena was stunned and looked at Huo Yuhao blankly.
"The soul method does have its flaws and hidden dangers. It covers a small group of people and benefits humans greatly. Human nature has always been difficult to grasp." Huo Yuhao gave a fair evaluation.
"The best solution is for you to lead the entire soul beast clan to migrate to another plane suitable for survival." Huo Yuhao looked serious.
Migrate the whole clan? Go to other worlds?
Qiu'er was shocked when she heard this.
Gu Yuena's eyes flickered.
This is indeed a good idea.
"Of course, these are all later. The prerequisite is to break the restrictions on soul beasts becoming gods and regain the authority of the former gods in the God Realm." Huo Yuhao said leisurely.
Only by putting the soul beast issue on the table and striving for corresponding interests in the God Realm can the whole family migrate and settle down in a dignified manner.
Otherwise, soul beasts, with the name of "aliens", are easily targeted by the God Realm and sent law enforcers to be eliminated as aliens.
"If there are no soul beasts, the human soul ring system will also be completely ended, right?" Gu Yuena said, looking at Huo Yuhao with a complicated expression.
From the perspective of humans, the soul contract is beneficial to the human race, so they naturally have no objection.
But if soul beasts migrate, then the corresponding human cultivation system will fall into a desperate situation.
In a sense, he is cutting off the path of cultivation for future generations.
"That is a problem that needs to be considered in the future, provided that you can get out."
"As for the soul ring system, it should have been reconstructed long ago." Huo Yuhao said calmly.
This system that relies on plundering the power of other races is inherently harmful to nature.
In this life, he has plenty of time to find a way out for the human race.
"Thank you." Gu Yuena thanked sincerely.
"No need, as long as you can actively cooperate on the issue of the abyss." Huo Yuhao waved his hand.
"Yes." Gu Yuena nodded.
In this regard, she had instructed Di Tian and made corresponding work arrangements.
"Hurry up." Huo Yuhao pointed out.
Gu Yuena understood what he meant, and naturally referred to her act of burying the dragon skeleton with her own hands.
Now that the knot in her heart has been untied, the invasion of the abyss is imminent.
Gu Yuena stood up and clasped her hands together. Strong elemental turbulence appeared in the surrounding void, twisting around her body, like a winding stream converging, like stars surrounding the sun, emitting unique elemental fluctuations.
Her eyes were as bright as daylight, mobilizing the power of the earth, and the entire valley changed dramatically.
The earth submerged the bones and smoothed the piles of bones.
The Forest of Life thrives in the wilderness.
A gentle breeze blew across the wounded ground, and thousands of dragon souls rose and fell in the clouds, swooping down from the sky and crossing the Forest of Life. The roars of dragons one after another set off a burst of green leaves.
Huo Yuhao and Qiu'er watched the magnificent changes.
The valley that had been silent was shaking violently, and the ground was shaking.
Qiu'er was panicked and reached out subconsciously.
Huo Yuhao held her hand and took her to break through the air, with a pair of dazzling golden butterfly wings spread out behind him.
The huge dragon skeleton that was originally lying on the ridge of the valley was touched and was gradually reviving.
Gu Yuena stared at the huge dragon head skeleton with a gloomy look, and two balls of bright yellow spiritual fire ignited in the dark hole.
