Hearing Huo Qiuer's explanation, the Ice and Snow Emperor felt a little surprised at the same time. Tianmeng, who wanted to rely on the Snow Emperor to support him, was also slightly stunned.
Huo Qiuer's eyes, which changed into a color similar to Huo Yuhao's, now had a hint of confusion.
Her voice was a little lost, and she analyzed to herself: "No matter how you reason, soul beasts seem to be inferior to humans."
"The soul beasts are obviously not a united race. They have been killing and eating each other since they were born."
"Rabbits and tigers are not the same race, ice scorpions and ice silkworms are not the same race, and you and I are not the same race. We are in competition with each other."
"But now a particularly powerful foreign threat has appeared. Humans and spirit beasts are so afraid that they have to be collectively called a clan and come together to discuss how to deal with humans together."
Huo Qiu'er sighed softly, took out the soul-guiding cigarette that Huo Yuhao gave her, took a puff, and spoke calmly.
She liked this little thing very much. As the legend said, Suanni was an auspicious animal that washed away fireworks.
Huo Qiuer's movement of holding the soul-guiding cigarette is somewhat similar to Huo Yuhao's. Both of them hold it naturally with the index and middle fingers of the right hand. There is no need to worry about burning out like a cigar, and you can enjoy it slowly.
Emperor Xue's tone was a bit complimentary: "It's amazing. I didn't expect you to really think about this kind of problem seriously. You do look a bit like Yu Hao."
Huo Qiu'er was not happy because of the Snow Emperor's praise. She glanced at Huo Yuhao in the distance, seemed to have thought of something, and continued: "Tiger... Speaking of tigers, I thought of a sad thing."
"What?" Ice Emperor asked.
Huo Qiuer said: "Tiger spirit beasts are usually far more powerful than other spirit beasts of the same year. It is not unusual for a thousand-year-old tiger spirit beast to hunt a ten-thousand-year-old spirit beast."
"However, in the Star Dou Forest, there are almost no tiger spirit beasts that are over 100,000 years old. There are only a handful of them. There is not even a single tiger spirit beast with a cultivation level of 200,000 years."
Ice Emperor frowned, a little confused: "What's the reason?"
Even if spirit beasts such as ligers, tigers and bears do not have noble blood, they are naturally much stronger than other spirit beasts.
Huo Qiuer explained: "Because the tiger soul beast has a high status and is naturally domineering, after breaking through for 100,000 years, it is likely to threaten the status of the dragon ruler."
"So once a tiger spirit beast breaks through one hundred thousand years, it will be taken seriously by Emperor Tian. If it shows signs of breaking through two hundred thousand years, Emperor Xiong and the Ten Thousand Demon King will eliminate it in advance without the need for Emperor Tian to take action. Drop it."
The two ice and snow emperors frowned at the same time.
No matter which soul beast habitat it is, one hundred thousand year and two hundred thousand year soul beasts have extraordinary significance, and there are many hidden rules behind them.
One hundred thousand years is a hurdle, which means that the spirit beast has wisdom that is not weaker than that of humans, and its strength is roughly equivalent to that of a human titled Douluo.
At this time, the 100,000-year-old soul beast automatically entered the circle of soul beast rulers, and could no longer be treated like an ordinary soul beast.
They have almost no natural enemies from the outside world, and only need to consider the natural disaster that occurs once every 100,000 years.
Even the more powerful ferocious beasts usually feed on weak soul beasts and would almost never kill another hundred thousand year old soul beast.
To simply compare it to humans, it's like a soul beast that has passed a hundred thousand years has automatically acquired a system, and under the unspoken rules among ferocious beasts, it has obtained the privilege of not being punished by a doctor.
After all, soul beasts hunt each other and cannot obtain each other's soul rings and soul bones. Different bloodlines have little effect on improving one's own cultivation.
The Snow Emperor asked doubtfully: "With the cultivation of Emperor Tian and Lord Xiong, can't they still suppress a ferocious beast that is only 200,000 years old?"
Di Tian's cultivation was more than 800,000 years old, yet he would be afraid of a 200,000-year-old tiger soul beast threatening his status. This kind of motivation is really unconvincing.
Huo Qiu'er was silent for a moment: "Tiger...dragon, judging from the bloodline, no one seems to be more powerful. If I guessed correctly, it's because of a kind of evil tiger that once appeared in history. It’s the top soul beast that makes Di Tian so afraid.”
"A Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with ten thousand years of cultivation can rival a hundred thousand year old spirit beast. Therefore, Emperor Tian and Lord Xiong will never allow a tiger spirit beast to break through two hundred thousand years."
The Ice Emperor was still a little puzzled: "I have also heard about the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. It is indeed a very powerful soul beast, but what does it have to do with suppressing all tiger soul beasts?"
Huo Qiuer replied in a low voice: "In order to prevent the possible awakening of the dark evil evil tiger bloodline in them, all tiger soul beasts are not allowed to exceed the two hundred thousand year mark."
He would rather kill the wrong person than let him go. In order to maintain and consolidate his rule, Di Tian, the leader of the ferocious beasts, adopted a very simple and crude method, which was indeed effective.
However, the price is that many tiger spirit beasts have failed to become ferocious beasts and become one of the top combat forces in the Star Dou Forest. The few hundred thousand year old tiger spirit beasts currently left are destined not to survive the next hundred thousand years.
After Huo Qiuer finished speaking, her eyes were a little complicated.
The exchange of memories with Huo Yuhao had a great impact on her. It not only allowed her to see the colorful human society, but also gave her many novel thoughts.
Staying in the core area of Xingdou, she occasionally heard Ditian and other ferocious beasts discussing the increasingly serious conflicts between soul beasts and humans. She also had the urge to participate in the discussion and express her thoughts, but Ditian would never let her join. .
Huo Qiu'er would always feel dazed every time she stared at Di Tian's majestic back.
On the surface, the Star Dou Forest has the strongest man in the continent, Di Tian, as well as many powerful ferocious beasts that are well-known on the ferocious beast list, such as Brigitte, Xiong Jun, and Red King. There are also many ten thousand year soul beasts.
But soul beasts are still at a disadvantage in the confrontation with humans.
A hundred years ago, the Noumenon Sect was able to penetrate deep into the core area of Stars and hunt down seven hundred thousand year soul beasts, forcing Di Tian to launch a beast wave in anger.
The spirit beasts of the Star Forest came out in force overnight and bloodbathed human cities. But soon, under the joint resistance of Shrek Academy and the Noumenon Sect's strong men, the powerful Emperor Tian could only retreat temporarily and signed an agreement with humans, making humans swear never to enter the core area of the Star Dou to hunt down a hundred thousand people. Nian Soul Beast.
If humans violate the agreement and hunt hundred thousand year soul beasts, will the Star Dou Forest launch another wave of beasts...?
not at all.
In the next hundred years, several hundred thousand year soul beasts were hunted and killed by Shrek Academy one after another, but Di Tian just turned a blind eye and did not make a big fuss about it.
Without him, although the beast tide could bring a heavy blow to mankind and destroy countless cities, the Star Dou Forest would also have to pay a heavy price.
Not only humans died in the beast tide, but also countless spirit beasts. The beast wave a hundred years ago left several soul beast groups still unable to recover.
The beast tide is afraid of humans, and it is also afraid of spirit beasts.
But compared with soul beasts, humans have a much faster ability to repair themselves after a disaster. It only takes a short period of a hundred years to cultivate a new generation of high-end combat power, but there is no way to continue to replenish the soul beast resources.
Di Tian would not easily launch another wave of beasts unless absolutely necessary, so he acquiesced to those hundred thousand year old soul beasts that had been hunted within a hundred years.
As long as humans can maintain awe and do not cross the line by killing dozens of hundred thousand year old soul beasts one after another, the Star Dou Forest can still tolerate it.
Huo Qiuer sighed deeply again and put back his thoughts that were gradually diverging.
If human beings are also regarded as a kind of soul beast, they must be the most powerful ethnic group in the entire continent, and it is completely impossible for other ethnic groups to fight against them.
No matter which angle he deduced from, Huo Qiuer felt that the decline of the soul beast was already destined.
But she herself is an auspicious beast favored by fate, and she has a hunch that there is a method that can, if not completely resolve the conflict between soul beasts and humans, at least significantly alleviate it.
Huo Qiuer sat on the big chair made of vines, covering her face with her hands, lost in thought.
During her more than 10,000 years as an imperial beast, she had never thought about any complicated issues. She just ate, slept, and ate every day like a certain ice silkworm.
The only difference is that she doesn't have to worry about the pressure of survival. All the soul beasts will worship her.
This kind of life, repeated for ten thousand years, is no different from a million years.
But now, fate has allowed Huo Qiu'er to break away from that monotonous life and start thinking about the future for herself and the soul beast.
She sadly discovered that she was revered as the Emperor's auspicious beast entirely because of her natural bloodline, and that others' respect for her was entirely because of her ability to speed up the cultivation of soul beasts.
As for her own feelings, it seems that she has never been cared about, and she just needs to be a mascot quietly.
This may be one of the main reasons that prompted Huo Qiuer to leave the forest and come to human society. In this place where no one knows her, she is herself, not the imperial beast.
"Tsk..."
Huo Qiuer clicked her tongue and focused her eyes on Tianmeng.
"You...what are you doing? Do you still want to eat me?" Tianmeng was startled and quickly hid behind the Snow Emperor and asked, "Didn't you just say you stopped eating?"
"I wish I could go back to the days when I only knew how to eat, and I wouldn't have so many worries."
Huo Qiu'er snorted coldly, her eyes no longer had the hungry and thirsty feeling when she saw Tianmeng, but instead became a bit self-deprecating.
"This is one of the few things I hate about humans."
"Tell me, why do humans have so many worries even though their life span is so short?"
She muttered to herself as if questioningly.
The two hovering dragon souls in the sky seemed to sense her troubles, and their roars were also somewhat sad.
Snow Emperor stood in front of her. After a long silence, his cold voice suddenly mentioned a term: "Don't you have a soul beast co-master in your Star Dou Forest?"
As soon as the words "co-master of soul beasts" came out, Huo Qiuer's eyes widened and she was extremely shocked.
"Do you know the co-master of soul beasts?" This is a secret that even she doesn't understand very well.
The Snow Emperor said coldly: "Only with a life as long as mine can I understand the existence of the soul beast co-master."
"The legendary co-master of soul beasts is the Dragon God. He has his own divine position in the divine world, but later, for unknown reasons, he fell together with the nine dragon kings."
She pointed at the two dragon souls: "This ice and fire eyes should be the place where the two dragon kings of ice and fire fell."
"The Dragon God and the nine dragon kings fell together, but there is still a trace of legacy left in the Star Dou Forest, becoming the current co-master of the soul beasts. I once vaguely felt its powerful aura, and it is definitely not Di Tian."
"As for what it is, only Emperor Tiantian knows."
Huo Qiu'er shook his head and said, "But I don't know what it is. Di Tian has never talked about it to outsiders."
The Snow Emperor continued: "If one day, the soul beast really reaches the point of life and death, I believe it will be the time when the soul beast co-master appears."
"By then, it won't be certain who wins or loses between humans and soul beasts."
Huo Qiu'er pondered for a moment and nodded heavily: "Yes, once the Soul Beast Co-Master gives an order, not only the Star Dou Forest, but also the Far North, sea soul beasts, and almost all soul beasts will be subject to his orders."
"By that time, everyone will surely be destroyed, and the whole continent may be destroyed if there is no end."
Her expression was extremely solemn.
Humanity is indeed developing very fast, but the hundreds of thousands or millions of years of soul beast accumulation cannot be easily destroyed by humans. Once an unreserved all-out war between the two starts, it is very likely to destroy the entire Douluo Continent. , both sides suffer losses.
It’s better to hope that we never see such a future.
After hearing Huo Qiu'er's words, Snow Emperor corrected her small mistake.
"I need to remind you that what you just said is incorrect."
Huo Qiuer was stunned for a moment.
The Snow Emperor looked at her calmly: "I have no control over the sea soul beasts, but in my far north, I will not obey the orders of the co-master of the soul beasts."
There was a hint of cold arrogance in the indifferent tone, which Huo Qiuer didn't expect.
Her eyes widened slightly, never expecting that Snow Emperor would say such treacherous words.
That is the co-master of soul beasts. As a soul beast, does the Snow Emperor want to disobey the co-master of soul beasts?
The Ice Emperor on the side also couldn't believe it: "Xue'er, you..."
"Are you surprised?"
The Snow Emperor squinted his eyes and showed a kind smile to Huo Qiu'er: "Rather, I want to know that the people in the Far North have believed in the Ice God instead of the Dragon God for generations. Why do I in the Far North Do you need to obey the orders of the soul beast co-master?"
There was an invisible chill all around, making Huo Qiuer's scalp numb.
The ferocious beasts on these ferocious beast lists must be more aware of the meaning of co-mastering soul beasts, but now, there is an exception.
Not only does the Snow Emperor have no respect for her, an imperial beast, but now he doesn't even look down upon the co-master of the soul beasts.
Is this to represent the far north's self-respect in supporting troops?
Huo Qiuer subconsciously leaned back. She had been uncomfortable since the first time she saw the Snow Emperor, and she felt even more uncomfortable now.
"The Dragon God has never brought any blessing to the Far North, and we have never cared about the dragon bloodline. It was like this in the past, and it will be like this in the future."
Snow Emperor continued, with a hint of threat in his smiling tone.
"Of course, you can tell Ditian this. If we threaten his rule, then the Far North will always be waiting for him."
