15: Chapter 15 Douluo's Declaration of Human Alliance

The rain in the barren hills had not yet ceased, but a storm sweeping across the entire Douluo Continent had already burst forth with lightning speed.

The day after the pursuit incident ended, Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the Clear Sky Sect issued the highest-level wanted order across the entire continent almost simultaneously.

On the wanted order, portraits of Tang Hao were plastered on the gates of every major city across the continent and on the bulletin boards of every Spirit Hall branch.

It clearly stated his crimes: colluding with a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast, defying human morality, fusing with the Origin of a Spirit Beast to fall into the Demonic Path, slaughtering human Spirit Masters, and betraying the entire Human Race.

The bounty was shockingly high. Even providing accurate information on his whereabouts could directly earn one a ten-thousand-year level Spirit Bone. If one could capture him alive or kill him, they would receive resource support at the Titled Douluo level, jointly endorsed by both Empires and Spirit Hall.

Unlike previous wanted orders that only circulated within the circles of Spirit Masters, this time, even the civilians in the most remote villages of the continent knew that the Clear Sky Sect had produced a "demon Tang Hao who copulated with a Spirit Beast and betrayed the Human Race."

After all, for ordinary people, Spirit Beasts were nightmares that burned, killed, looted, and destroyed villages. Colluding with a Spirit Beast touched the bottom line of everyone's survival.

And just as the wave of condemnation across the continent intensified, the Flame Will Dynasty, which had always hidden in the East and rarely participated in the continent's disputes, suddenly pushed this storm to its peak with a document titled "Declaration of Human Defense."

Douluo Continent Human Defense Declaration: Admit it, you simply cannot tolerate those Spirit Beast monsters wearing human skin! They are born different from us. Even if they look like humans and disguise themselves as humans, they are nothing more than creatures like the Wolftaken. Their beastly nature is deeply embedded in their marrow; coexistence is nothing but a pipe dream!

From the moment our ancestors awakened their first Spirit, broke through the encirclement of wild Vicious Beasts, and earned a place for human survival on this continent, our fate has been tightly bound to the word "Human."

The survival territory of the Human Race, the path of Cultivation for the Human Race, and the sparks of civilization of the Human Race must never be touched by alien races!

Look, compatriots! Those Vicious Beasts that should have been trapped in the Star Dou Great Forest, the Far North Ice Plains, and the Sunset Forest are beginning to shed their fur and scales, transforming into appearances identical to ours, hiding in our Sects, our academies, and our cities!

They hide their claws and fangs, walk in human identity, Cultivate using human Cultivation Techniques, snatch the spirit rings and Spirit Bones that should belong to us, and even defile our Bloodline. They treat human kindness as a shield for their disguise and use false warmth to steal the glory of the civilization we have earned over thousands and tens of thousands of years!

We once gave them a way to live; we tacitly allowed them to multiply in their own territories. Yet, what they returned to us was secret surveillance, backstabbing, and treating human flesh and blood as nourishment for their advancement!

We once talked about coexistence, but they were grinding their teeth and sucking blood in the dark. Beneath the disguise of hundred-thousand-year transformation, they have never changed their man-eating beastly nature!

Tens of thousands of years ago, there were Sects subverted by them from within, Genius Spirit Masters who died at their hands, and countless compatriots whose bones became stepping stones for them to break through their Realm!

But the Human Race is not a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, nor a sacrificial offering for the advancement of Spirit Beasts! We are the fire that burns through the wilderness, the hammer that smashes shackles, and the only race on this continent worthy of the name Dominator!

Therefore, I declare in the name of the highest will of the Human Race on the Douluo Continent: No more self-deceiving softness! No more tolerance for transformed alien races! No more compromise with beastly disguises! Our Spirits have awakened, our Spirit Abilities are ready, and our Spirit hunting teams are prepared! Every Spirit Master is a walking boundary marker of human territory, and every flash of a Spirit is a direct declaration of war against alien races! Every Titled Douluo is an iron Great Wall guarding human civilization, and every enhancement of a Spirit Bone is supreme armament for us to defend the future of our race!

Listen, compatriots! The call of our ancestors has never ceased! From the first slaughter in the Spirit Hunting Forest to the bloody battles under the city walls, on every inch of land on this continent, the shouts of all humans converge into that oath carved into our Souls: Those who are not of our race must have a different heart!

War! War! War! Even if we must tread across ten thousand waters and mountains, even if we must burn out our Soul Power and blood, not for prejudice, not for conquest, but for the survival of the Human Race! We will use the light of our Spirits to make the entire continent remember: Humans are not prey! We will use the victory of Spirit hunting to define for future generations: Humans are the Dominators!

All Spirit Beasts that have transformed into humans, listen: War has arrived. And we will bring you—the end!

This declaration was like pouring a ladle of cold water into a hot wok, instantly exploding the entire Douluo Continent.

If the previous wanted order was just the accountability of various major forces against Tang Hao personally, then this "Declaration of Human Defense" directly elevated the incident to the level of "survival opposition between the Human Race and Spirit Beasts," turning "hostility towards transformed Spirit Beasts" into the political correctness of the entire Human Race.

For a time, responses from the entire continent poured in like a tide.

Countless small and medium-sized Sects were the first to speak out again.

"Humans and Spirit Beasts have been enemies of survival for ten thousand years. Spirit Beasts feed on the Human Race, and the Human Race uses spirit rings to Cultivate. This is the Law of Heaven and Earth and cannot be crossed. Yet now, Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect, for personal feelings, has engaged in intercourse and had children with a hundred-thousand-year transformed Spirit Beast, and has even fused with the Origin of a Spirit Beast, willingly falling into depravity. With a human body, he commits demonic acts. This is the shame of the entire Human Race and a great enemy to the survival of the Human Race!"

"Transformed Spirit Beasts, with the body of a Spirit Beast, disguise themselves as humans, hide in the markets, Sects, and imperial courts, seduce the Prodigies of the Human Race, distort the Bloodline of the Human Race, and steal the Cultivation resources of the Human Race. Today, Tang Hao has been seduced and betrayed the race; tomorrow, more Prodigies will follow in his footsteps. If this continues, the Foundation of the Human Race will be destroyed, and the chaos of Evil Spirit Masters, the disaster of Beast Tides destroying cities, and the calamity of the Wolftaken will inevitably repeat!"

"Previously, there were the Wolftaken, the alien wolf-headed human-bodied creatures born from the Storm Devil Wolf forcing humans. Now, the methods of Spirit Beasts are even more sophisticated, making it even harder to distinguish them as they pretend to be humans and mix among us, intending to defile our human Bloodline and confuse our human wisdom. We must strictly guard the bottom line of our Bloodline, purge all hidden transformed Spirit Beasts, and absolutely not allow any act of betraying the Human Race or colluding with Spirit Beasts to exist! The fate of Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect is our greatest warning. Anyone who harbors a transformed Spirit Beast is a public enemy of the entire Human Race and shall be attacked by all!"

It could be said that they were extremely expressive in their support for the initiative of the Flame Will Dynasty, successively starting checks within their Sects; civilians in major cities organized spontaneously to watch those outsiders with unknown whereabouts, long-term solitude, and strange auras, reporting them to the local Spirit Hall branches at the slightest suspicion; there were even many radical Spirit Master teams who directly teamed up to go deep into the mountains, under the banner of "purging transformed Spirit Beasts," frantically hunting Spirit Beasts, and many low-level Spirit Beasts that were originally well-behaved suffered unjust disaster.

The two great Empires were the first to be unable to sit still.

The Star Luo Empire has always valued martial arts and has always had a tough attitude towards Spirit Beasts. They directly issued government decrees to thoroughly investigate transformed Spirit Beasts throughout their territory. Anyone found harboring them would be treated the same as the transformed Spirit Beast, with the three clans implicated. Although the Heaven Dou Empire hesitated slightly, they could not withstand the fanatical calls from domestic civilians and Sects, so they could only follow up by issuing an announcement, expressing support for the Human Alliance, and strictly ordering Spirit Halls everywhere to increase the intensity of investigations into transformed Spirit Beasts.

Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan among the Upper Three Sects had to speak out publicly. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was cautious in its words, only saying "uphold the bottom line of human ethics and do not associate with Spirit Beasts," but it also presupposed the investigation of transformed Spirit Beasts; the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was originally a family of Beast Spirits and valued the purity of Bloodline the most. They directly expressed their stance with fierce words, stating that they would fully cooperate in purging the hidden transformed Spirit Beasts and would never allow the situation of mixed Bloodlines to occur.

But in fact, where did so many transformed Spirit Beasts come from? But the facts and public opinion were already there; you had to speak out even if you didn't want to.
