65: All the hundred thousand year soul beasts in the Far North have been gathered
Chapter 65: Extreme North Land’s Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts All Gathered
“Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, Snow Empress, your cultivation is close to four hundred thousand years. You lack the confidence to overcome the four-hundred-thousand-year heavenly tribulation, so you are deliberately slowing down your cultivation improvement, aren't you?”
“Ice Bear King, Xiao Bai, your cultivation is one hundred ninety thousand years, not yet reaching two hundred thousand years.”
Snow Empress, Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, and Ice Bear King were all shocked. It seemed like he came prepared.
Snow Empress frowned slightly: “State your purpose, and why do you know so much about me and us?”
“Hehe, before that, let us introduce ourselves.”
During the battle, Ye Wen had already switched to his half-human form. With a smile, he pointed to Evil Tiger and Xiao Bai, who were also in half-human form on his left and right: “That’s Evil Tiger, Evil Tiger Demon Whale King!”
“Roar!!!”
Evil Tiger transformed into his Devil Tiger Whale true form.
“Sea Soul Beast.” Snow Empress, Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, and Ice Bear King all looked surprised.
Ye Wen continued to introduce: “The one on the right, like your Ice Bear King, is also called Xiao Bai, Demon Soul Great White Shark King!”
After speaking, Xiao Bai also transformed into her Devil Spirit Great White Shark true form.
“I am Ye Wen, Deep Sea Demon Whale King!”
“Roar!!!”
The Demon Whale’s roar seemed to resonate throughout the entire Extreme North Land. Ye Wen’s terrifying aura and oppressive presence made even Snow Empress feel extremely wary.
“Snow Empress, this guy, his size is too terrifying!!!” Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion was utterly astonished.
Ice Bear King was also dumbfounded and very fearful: “Holy cow... This guy is even bigger than the Titan Snow Demon King...”
“We are Sea Soul Beasts from the ocean, and I am the overlord of the Soul Beasts in the ocean.”
Ye Wen switched back to his half-human form and pointed to Da Ming and Er Ming: “These are Da Ming, the Azure Sky Bull Python, and Er Ming, the Titan Giant Ape. They are both hundred-thousand-year-level Spirit Beasts from the forests of the central continent.”
“This one, the Nine-Headed Blood Bat King, you can call him Slaughter King, from a city of sin, Slaughter City.”
“We come from different places, but we all have one thing in common: we are all Beast Clan, Spirit Beasts!”
“We came here because we want the Spirit Beasts of your Extreme North Land to join us.” After Ye Wen finished introducing, he directly stated his purpose.
Snow Empress was actually very curious: how did these Spirit Beasts from the sea, the forest, and even Slaughter City gather together?
Snow Empress found it very novel, but she had something she wanted to know even more. She asked, “To make us join you, is this the method? To knock down the Spirit Beasts of our Extreme North Land?”
Snow Empress pointed to the Titan Snow Demon King, who was lying sprawled in the snow.
Then she continued to ask: “What’s the point of joining you? What can you do by gathering so many powerful Spirit Beasts? Do you intend to rule humanity?”
“Or, are your Sea Soul Beasts and Forest Spirit Beasts facing a crisis brought by humanity?”
The only reasons Snow Empress could think of were these two.
They came from the sea, the forest, and the snowy land. Everyone had their own suitable habitats. There wasn't much conflict between Spirit Beasts, except for hunting to fill their stomachs. After that, there were practically no conflicts of interest.
The World of Spirit Beasts was that simple, not as complex as humanity.
What was the point of being the boss of Spirit Beasts, ruling and leading other Spirit Beasts?
Therefore, Snow Empress felt that either Ye Wen and his group wanted to resist humanity, rule humanity, expand the territory of Spirit Beast activities, and make Spirit Beasts the rulers of the continent.
Or, they were currently facing persecution from humanity, being massacred in large numbers, and wanted to seek external aid to resist humanity.
“We have no intention of ruling humanity, nor are we currently being persecuted by humanity. However, regarding this issue, I can share my thoughts.” Ye Wen smiled and said: “Our Spirit Beast Race has always been merely hunted by humanity, existing to provide spirit rings, profits, and wealth.”
“Humanity rules this World, and we Spirit Beasts are just a resource for humanity, even at risk of being killed by humanity at any time, except for our Sea Soul Beasts, who can largely avoid being hunted by humanity.”
“In fact, the Spirit Beasts in the forest, and your Spirit Beasts in the Extreme North Land, will find their situation becoming very dire in the next few thousand, or even tens of thousands of years.”
“As human power grows and the number of human Spirit Masters increases, more spirit rings will be needed, and more Spirit Beasts will be hunted. Sooner or later, you will all be hunted to the brink of extinction.”
“Of course, what I’m saying are just observations, and I’m not saying I want to rule humanity because of this. Nor is this the reason I want you to join us.”
“The reason I want you to join us is very simple: I need your strength to expand my power and to fight against God! To fight against Human Gods!”
“And not ordinary humans!”
“I want to kill the God I want to kill. I want our Spirit Beast Race to also have a place, to break through to the God-level, ascend to become a God, and possess the God of eternal Life!”
Ye Wen had never considered ruling humanity and letting Spirit Beasts rule this World. Although he was a Spirit Beast, he also carried a human soul, merely possessing the flesh and body of a Spirit Beast.
Moreover, if Spirit Beasts were to rule this World, this World would be a disaster. Spirit Beasts have no rules, no systems, no perfect social structure; it would be a pure jungle law.
Humans would simply be unable to live a stable Life under the rule of Spirit Beasts, and would even be eaten up by Spirit Beasts sooner or later.
Just like Spirit Beasts, they would eventually be slaughtered by Spirit Masters seeking spirit rings.
And Spirit Beasts would also kill each other. After all, Spirit Beasts need to eat, right? What do carnivorous Spirit Beasts eat? Other Spirit Beasts, of course!
Like the Azure Sky Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, they also need to eat Spirit Beasts to fill their stomachs.
Therefore, in Ye Wen’s view, Spirit Beasts being hunted was nothing; it was all about demand. Likewise, Spirit Beasts killing humans was the same.
As long as it doesn't completely affect the continuation of the Spirit Beast or human race, it's fine. So, if Ye Wen were to act, it wouldn't be to make Spirit Beasts rule humanity, but to give Spirit Beasts the power to contend with humanity, maintaining a state of balance between the two sides.
It would be enough for both humanity and Spirit Beasts to continue to multiply endlessly and thrive.
What Ye Wen truly wanted to do was, first, his own revenge, and second, to allow Spirit Beasts, like humanity, to also have their own God, allowing Spirit Beasts to inherit and become God, inherit Godhood, step into the God-level, and have the opportunity to reach the God-level.
“Wh-what! Kill God!? You want to deal with God…” After hearing Ye Wen’s words, Snow Empress, Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, Ice Bear King, and Tai Tan were all greatly shocked and stunned.
