The banquet held by the Star Luo Royal Family was incredibly extravagant!
Even the knives, forks, and chopsticks were made of jewels, and the dust from just a light dusting of the banquet hall would be enough to feed the commoners outside for half a year.
This made the Crimson King and other ferocious beasts widen their eyes.
They had never seen such a scene before.
The Crimson King used to think that his doghouse was the most comfortable place in the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion had even asked him how to make his doghouse spacious and bright.
Now, seeing this, he realized that he was just an ignorant country dog.
The Crimson King showed off his food in the banquet hall, savoring the taste of each dish, and then feeling the cooking techniques and how much heat was used.
Since obtaining human cooking utensils and seasonings, as well as a large number of cookbooks, through the magic network, the Crimson King had fallen in love with the feeling of cooking.
Rather than saying he liked cooking, it was more like he wanted to add a touch of refinement and ritual to his long life.
Many beast kings in the Star Dou Great Forest were like this; they had been severely eroded by human spiritual culture.
If Huo Yuhao were to cut off their magic network at this moment, they would most likely go mad.
After all, having witnessed the light, they could not tolerate the darkness.
This is also the main reason why almost all the beast kings strongly support soul spirit technology.
Now, many beast kings on the magic network have begun to imitate human writing styles and write their own novels.
There are even soul beasts fantasizing about kicking Di Tian, punching Xiong Jun, and marrying Bi Ji.
Of course, Di Tian is trying to figure out how to deal with these soul beasts.
They are no longer ordinary beasts and must be dealt with severely!
"I think we can talk about serious matters now."
Di Tian forced himself to ignore the crazy bear and dog duo and looked at Xu Jiawei sitting opposite him.
Xu Jiawei immediately sat up straight and looked at Di Tian, saying:
"Of course! Your Majesty, Beast God, please tell me your thoughts first."
Di Tian did not stand on ceremony, or rather, he did not know what standing on ceremony meant.
"I want the Star Luo Empire to completely ban the hunting of soul beasts and make such behavior illegal."
Xu Jiawei paused for a moment, and Wang Xian'er and Xu Jiujiu next to him also looked at Di Tian seriously.
The Star Luo Emperor remained silent for a moment before saying,
"Your Majesty, Beast God, you should know what this means."
"I think you must have other plans."
Xu Jiawei didn't believe Di Tian had nothing more to say; everyone knew that humanity's pursuit of power was unstoppable.
Di Tian nodded and said,
"Soul Spirits."
"I hope the Star Luo Empire will fully embrace Soul Spirit technology!"
"You should have seen relevant information about this technology on the Magic Network."
Xu Jiawei and Wang Xian'er exchanged a glance and said,
"Yes."
"If we were to say what the hottest topic on the continent is today, Soul Spirits would definitely have a place."
"To be honest, our Star Luo Empire's Hall of Worship has held countless meetings to discuss Soul Spirit technology."
"We acknowledge that Soul Spirits have far more advantages than Soul Rings."
After 'Ye Ge' released Su Tong's Soul Spirit Contract video, the Star Luo Empire's Hall of Worship had already begun discussing Soul Spirit technology.
Everyone, including the Hall Master, felt that Soul Spirit technology was a groundbreaking technology.
In the past, only soul bones and some research insights on martial souls could be passed down from the elders of soul master families.
If it were replaced by soul spirits, it would mean that soul rings could also be inherited.
A soul master can possess multiple soul spirits, and even if only one of these soul spirits is willing to stay in the family, the accumulated number over several generations would be considerable.
Especially according to 'Ye Ge', soul spirits can be made stronger slowly by offering Dream Coins, although the speed is very slow, it is still progress.
This characteristic of progress means that given enough time, a family might be able to produce several hundred-thousand-year guardian soul spirits.
Xu Jiawei calculated that if only one hundred-thousand-year soul spirit exists in a family, that family will definitely produce a titled Douluo in every generation.
Therefore, Xu Jiawei and others are also looking forward to the large-scale dissemination of soul spirit technology.
Then, Xu Jiawei paused and said
"Your Majesty, the Star Luo Empire is naturally willing to embrace soul spirits."
"However, we do not know when soul spirit technology will be fully made public."
"Before it is made public, we cannot enact this law."
Di Tian's golden eyes gleamed slightly.
"We've communicated with the developers of Soul Spirit Technology, and even reached a cooperation agreement with 'Ye Ge'."
"After this competition concludes, we will jointly establish the Spirit Pagoda."
"The Spirit Pagoda will help Soul Masters and Soul Beasts forge contracts."
"The Star Luo Empire needs to fully support the construction and operation of the Spirit Pagoda."
Once the Spirit Pagoda is completed, regardless of whether you enact any laws, all the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest will appear in the outer perimeter to kill any human Soul Masters who attempt to hunt them."
Xu Jiawei remained silent for a long time this time, constantly weighing the pros and cons, not regarding Soul Spirit Technology, but rather the Spirit Pagoda organization itself.
He worried about the emergence of a second Spirit Hall.
Finally, Xu Jiawei sighed and looked earnestly at Di Tian, saying,
"The Star Luo Empire...accepts this proposal."
"Your Majesty, the Star Luo Empire is willing to fully support the construction of the Spirit Pagoda."
"Once the Spirit Pagoda is completed and operational, we will enact a law prohibiting the hunting of soul beasts."
"However, we hope that more members of the Spirit Pagoda located within the Star Luo Empire will choose people from the Star Luo Empire."
"This is our bottom line."
Wang Xian'er, standing beside him, glanced at Xu Jiawei and nodded slightly, saying,
"On behalf of the Hall of Worship, I also accept Your Majesty's proposal."
Di Tian nodded, saying,
"That's good."
"I understand your thoughts."
"The Star Dou Great Forest can establish an alliance with the Star Luo Empire."
"If the Sun Moon Empire launches a large-scale invasion, the Star Dou Great Forest will assist you in resisting."
"I will personally intervene."
A smile appeared on Xu Jiawei's face.
He had sacrificed so much for this one sentence; with the help of the Star Dou Great Forest, the threat from the Sun Moon Empire would be greatly reduced.
The Beast God Di Tian was indeed invincible in this world.
After the negotiations were completed, the rest was just a banquet.
Xu Jiawei prepared many performances and delicacies for the ferocious beasts to enjoy.
At the last moment, Xu Jiawei cautiously asked Di Tian,
"Your Majesty, Beast God, may I know which other countries besides the Star Luo Empire would accept the Spirit Pagoda proposal?"
Di Tian glanced at Xu Jiawei and said calmly,
"The Heavenly Soul Empire cannot refuse, and the Sun Moon Empire will also be easily persuaded."
"As for the Douling Empire, I will make a trip there."
Xu Jiawei's pupils shrank. The three kingdoms of Douluo were not unexpected, but the Sun Moon Empire truly shocked him.
The Star Dou Great Forest alone probably couldn't persuade the Sun Moon Empire; it was likely that the force cooperating with the Star Dou Great Forest had the ability to handle the Sun Moon Empire.
"Which force has this ability?"
"Shrek? They are mortal enemies.
Haotian Sect? Doesn't seem like it. Passion?
Weak foundation, impossible."
"Are there any forces on this continent that I don't know about?"
...
"Ha!!"
The Shadow Cat ran wildly in Star Luo City. Despite being as fat as a gas cylinder, it ran quite fast.
It would glance back every now and then, and a blonde, blue-eyed girl would always appear before it.
The people around seemed completely oblivious to the Shadow Cat, utterly unaware that a nearly ten-thousand-year-old soul beast was passing by its legs.
Suddenly, the Shadow Cat felt itself levitate, its four legs stopped moving, it looked ahead, and then, with tears welling in its eyes, it twisted its body, trying to get closer.
Huo Yuhao placed the Shadow Cat on his shoulder and looked at Audrey, saying,
"Well done."
"It should run around a bit."
"If all else fails, we can throw it into the Cataclysmic Mountain Range for a wilderness survival challenge someday."
The Shadow Cat rubbed its large head against Huo Yuhao's face with dissatisfaction, and Huo Yuhao smiled and patted its head.
Audrey bowed slightly to Huo Yuhao and said,
"Yes."
"Are you here to visit the young lady?"
Huo Yuhao put the Shadow Cat down; it was too heavy, and his shoulders were no longer comfortable carrying it.
"More or less."
"Just sneaking a peek."
"Tomorrow we're going to the far north to receive the Ice Emperor's sacrifice."
"She was struck so badly; even with a three-fold reduction in power, the 400,000 Heavenly Tribulation is still not to be underestimated."
"Isn't there a competition the day after tomorrow?"
"I should bring Huo Zhanji and the others over to take a look."
"I've sensed quite a few familiar faces here."
"It's quite lively."
"Alright, you can continue watching it run; I'm going to check on Xia Die."
The Shadow Cat clung to Huo Yuhao's leg, its face pleading.
Huo Yuhao emotionlessly lifted it by the scruff of its neck, tossed it to Audrey, and then disappeared into thin air.
Xia Die was currently writing a novel on the table in her hotel room, a smile playing on her indifferent face.
Completely unaware of the figure appearing behind her.
"Huh?"
"After becoming a Title Douluo, your daughter and son came knocking on your door?"
"What kind of novel is this?!"
A look of panic crossed Xia Die's delicate face as she hurriedly closed the notebook.
"Father!"
Huo Yuhao scratched his head sheepishly, saying,
"Sorry, I wanted to give you a surprise."
"I won't easily enter your room next time."
Xia Die's cheeks flushed slightly, like a child whose little secret had been exposed by their parent, and she quickly changed the subject.
"Why is Father here?"
Huo Yuhao patted her little head and said,
"Aren't you supposed to have a competition the day after tomorrow?"
"I came here to see you."
"I'll make time to watch your competition."
Hearing this, Xia Die nodded seriously and said,
"I'll definitely do my best!"
Huo Yuhao gently pinched her pretty cheek and said,
"It doesn't matter whether you do well or not."
"Just don't get hurt."
Xia Die felt the warmth of Huo Yuhao's hand on her cheek and whispered,
"Mm."
Huo Yuhao suddenly sensed something, straightened up, and saw a crow outside the French window with a white circle around its right eye.
Huo Yuhao waved at it, but it turned and ran away, as if it was jealous.
"Heh, this child."
"Alright, you can continue writing."
"I'm going to visit an old friend."
Huo Yuhao walked out of the room under Xia Die's reluctant gaze and headed towards the door of a room at the end of the corridor.
"Knock knock knock!"
"Come in."
Xia Die put down an alchemy notebook in her hand, the author of which was Electrolux.
"How does it feel to see old friends?"
Huo Yuhao greeted him first. Na Kexia then asked,
"Are you referring to these old friends, or Bai E and the others?"
Huo Yuhao shrugged and said, "Both."
Na Kexia smiled and said,
"I feel great."
Huo Yuhao came to Na Kexia's side and looked out at Xingluo City with him, saying,
"It's not as prosperous as Xilu City here."
"But the historical atmosphere is quite strong."
"Want some coffee?"
Na Kexia shook his head and said,
"Heh, the unchanging history here is destined to be a tragic footnote."
"Oh, right, I left in a hurry last time and forgot to thank you."
Huo Yuhao looked at Na Kexia and said,
"Thanks are fine."
"Everyone has their own desires."
Na Kexia's red and blue gradient eyes reflected Xingluo Square and said,
"Who doesn't have desires?"
"All human beings have selfishness and desires."
"I want to thank you for giving my students a new life."
"Chasing fire is a process of constant loss... These things are still too heavy for them."
"By the way, why isn't my martial soul an Earth Beast?"
Huo Yuhao's face fell.
"I don't even know what an Earth Beast looks like, how can I sculpt one for you?"
"Here, consider this your payment."
Huo Yuhao pulled out a "piece of paper" shimmering with pure white fluorescence from his dream space.
A drop of Primordial Sea was sealed in the center of the "piece of paper.
" Na Ke Xia took the "piece of paper," looked at both sides, and said,
"A very sophisticated spatial seal. What is this?"
Huo Yuhao said,
"Primordial Sea, only one drop, but enough for you to sculpt an Earth Beast."
"Don't mess around, this thing is dangerous."
Na Ke Xia put away the drop of Primordial Sea, her tone confident.
"I know."
"Soon you will see the most perfect species, the Earth Beast, appear on this continent."
"They are calm, quiet, good-tempered, and have a large appetite!"
"No one understands Earth Beasts better than me!"
"In the future, I will open a special Earth Beast subject at Shrek Academy, so that everyone can understand the wonder of Earth Beasts!"
