Douluo: When Tang Wulin Met Little Huo Niang

Chapter 522 Humans and Soul Beasts (6k)

Unfortunately, Tang Wulin didn't buy it.

He grinned speechlessly.

"Are you still using this trick? I remember I told you last time that no matter what, I can never think completely from the perspective of a soul beast. I was born as a human and raised by humans. Why do you think that I will abandon the human camp and help you?"

If he abandoned humanity and joined the soul beast camp, how would he have the face to see Tang Ziran and his wife who adopted and raised him, how would he have the face to see Moon who taught him countless knowledge and principles, how would he have the face to see Huo Yutong who had always been by his side?
It's true that he sympathizes with soul beasts, but it's best not to let him stand on the opposite side of the human camp and become a rapist.

Even if the Dragon God wanted to take back his power, he would never betray humanity.

Gu Yue said unwillingly:
"But you have to know that this is the revenge of our soul beasts. It is our legitimate right. Why do you want to stop us from taking revenge?"

Tang Wulin sighed.

"Gu Yue, you may have learned a lot of words from human society, but I suggest you don't use them indiscriminately."

Just as she would think that the nine-year-old Tang Wulin would have improper thoughts about the eight-year-old Na'er, Tang Wulin discovered that Gu Yue actually had only a vague understanding of many concepts about humans.

He said seriously:

"Even if you really want revenge, we, the targets of your revenge, have no reason to just surrender and be killed. And more importantly, are humans really the cause of your soul beasts' demise?"

Gu Yue and the other soul beasts were all stunned, and then asked in a somewhat timid tone:
"What do you mean? Humans' massacre of soul beasts is something that everyone has witnessed. Several beast tides in history have caused the deaths of countless high-level soul beasts. Do you want to deny this?"

Tang Wulin replied speechlessly:
"Regarding the beast tide, it was you soul beasts who initiated it, right? You took the initiative to kill us, so is it right for us to just let you slaughter us? Are you only allowed to kill us, and we are not allowed to resist? Although we humans go to the Xingdou Great Forest to hunt for soul rings, we will not say that everything is the soul beasts' fault and hate your entire clan just because we are killed by you soul beasts."

"This……"

"And then again."

Tang Wulin interrupted them and said:

"When it comes to slaughtering high-level soul beasts, your own internal conflicts should be much more serious."

Apart from anything else, the Three-Eyed Golden Ni is a powerful soul beast that likes to feed on the brains of high-level soul beasts. According to Huo Yutong, when she first saw the Three-Eyed Golden Ni, she was chasing a powerful ten-thousand-year soul beast.

According to her eating habits, she basically has to slaughter at least one ten-thousand-year soul beast every day. Assuming one ten-thousand-year soul beast per day, that would require nearly four million ten-thousand-year soul beasts in ten thousand years. And how many ten-thousand-year soul beasts could be bred in this ten-thousand-year period?
How durable must this soul beast be to be able to withstand her hunting day after day.

Even without considering the special case of the Three-Eyed Golden Ni, according to what Tang Wulin had learned, the vast majority of soul beasts also had a tendency to eat high-level soul beasts.

For example, when Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had just come out of the ice cave in Wanzai County, she met the Ice Emperor at that time and was almost eaten by him.

The last time Tang Wulin accompanied the inner court students to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for spirit rings, he relied on Huo Yutong's spiritual detection sharing to see countless spirit beasts fighting each other. In just a few days, with the help of spiritual detection sharing, he saw several ten-thousand-year-old spirit beasts die at the hands of other spirit beasts.

After all, humans only need to absorb a spirit ring when they need to advance. The proportion of human spirit masters in human society is already low, with perhaps only one spirit master among a hundred people, and the vast majority of spirit masters will find it difficult to reach the fifth ring or above in their entire lives, which means it takes decades to hunt for five spirit rings.

Any soul beast would need to eat thousands or tens of thousands of its compatriots over a period of decades.

In the same period of time, the difference between the number of soul beasts killed by a human soul master and a soul beast is thousands or even tens of thousands. This ratio difference is too great. The number of soul beasts hunted by humans is just a drop in the ocean compared to the soul beasts killing each other. Why should the blame for the extinction of soul beasts be placed on human hunting? This is unreasonable.

Gu Yue and the other ferocious beasts were suddenly choked and could not speak for a while.

Tang Wulin sighed and said:

"In short, let me say something blunt. The ecological system of your soul beasts is extremely distorted. The growth period of high-level soul beasts is too long, but it only takes a moment for them to fall. Even without humans, you will sooner or later destroy yourselves because of your internal strife. I think that instead of taking your anger out on humans and blaming them for everything, you should first look for your own problems."

After saying that, he said no more, propped up his chin, and waited for the other party's answer.

The air fell into silence for a moment.

Several ferocious beasts looked at each other, wanting to refute, but unable to do so.

Because they knew that what Tang Wulin said was true.

As the leaders of soul beasts, they are most aware of the soul beast food chain system.

It is true that the higher the level of the soul beast, the higher the level of the soul beast it eats, because for these high-level soul beasts, low-level soul beasts can hardly meet their energy needs for growth.

Although these ferocious beasts no longer need to eat too much food because they live near the Lake of Life and can meet their daily needs simply by absorbing life energy, even so, they definitely have a lot of blood of high-level soul beasts on their hands.

The most typical example is the tiger soul beast. Since the combat effectiveness of tiger soul beasts is generally not low among the same level, whenever a tiger soul beast breaks through to the 100,000-year level, it will be collectively noticed by all the fierce beasts. Emperor Tian is okay, but fierce beasts like the Ten Thousand Demon King and the Bear King will never allow such a creature to grow to 200,000 years or more and threaten their position.

If humans ten thousand years ago were short-sighted and exhausted all resources, then soul beasts have always been foolish and self-destructive.

And when humans obtained souls, a new means of obtaining soul rings, this so-called short-sightedness no longer existed, but soul beasts still had the same ecological system as before. As a result, it is natural that soul beasts have fallen to this point today.

After a long time, Gu Yue sighed and said:

"What's the point of you telling me all this now? There's no point in saying more."

"Maybe it's meaningless, but I just don't want you to act like a victim and put all your responsibilities on others."

Tang Wulin smiled and asked a question that the soul beasts led by Gu Yue could not answer at all.

"If, I mean if, even if you defeat humans in the future and you soul beasts succeed in becoming the dominant force in the world, do you think you can recover to your previous size with the number of soul beasts you have left and your deformed food chain system?"

"..."

The answer is obvious.

Not to mention restoring it to its former state, they should be thankful that they can prevent the soul beasts from destroying themselves.

As the leader of all soul beasts, Gu Yue knew better than anyone that, barring any unexpected events, the soul beasts would not be able to survive for many more years given their current number.

She gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice:

"Yes, I admit that what you said makes sense, but that is why I want to impact the God Realm. Only when I become a god can I lead the soul beasts to regain their new life."

Tang Wulin snorted and said coldly:
"So how do you plan to become a god? Devour me and become a dragon god?"

“I’d like to do that if I could.”

Gu Yue spread his hands helplessly.

“But unfortunately I really can’t do that now.”

Before, she sent Di Tian to attack Tang Wulin. In addition to the reason that the bet with Na'er had failed, another very important factor was that she felt the aura of the Dragon God bloodline from Tang Wulin and wanted to absorb it.

As for the result, it was already obvious. Even if she used all her strength, she could not defeat Tang Wulin alone.

So she has given up this plan for the time being.

Gu Yue said dejectedly:
"I admit that I have been very confused during this period. To be honest, I have run out of ideas just to find a way to transfer my people so that they will not be killed by you in the future, let alone find a way to resist you."

It was as if the heavens were playing a joke on her. The little human child, whom she had never taken seriously and had only used as a tool to win the bet, suddenly obtained the blood of the Dragon God that she had always dreamed of, and his strength was so strong that she had no way to deal with him. She admitted that she was now completely helpless.

Therefore, she could only ask with some reluctance:
"Tang Wulin, how do you plan to deal with the soul beast?"

Judging from Tang Wulin's answer just now, he has no good feelings towards soul beasts. Gu Yue can only pray in his heart now that he doesn't take out his anger on all the soul beasts because of the attack two months ago.

If it really came to this, she would have no choice but to detonate all of her remaining strength to try to take him down to hell with her.

As a result, Tang Wulin's answer once again exceeded her expectations.

"Well...if possible, I would like you to stay."

"……what?"

Brigitte on the side couldn't help but ask:
"Didn't you just say that you wouldn't help soul beasts?"

Tang Wulin glanced at her unhappily and asked:
"Tell me, when did I ever say something like that?"

"Forehead……"

All the fierce beasts fell into deep thought, and then they were shocked to find that Tang Wulin seemed to have never said that he would not help soul beasts.

All of a sudden, their eyes lit up.

If Tang Wulin, who possesses the power of the Dragon God, is willing to stand on their side, everything will be much easier.

Only Gu Yue did not show any joy. She said in a deep voice:
"Can I ask why?"

Tang Wulin smiled and said:

"The answer is simple. The dragon clan has done me a favor."

Although after hearing the legends about the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King from Na'er, he no longer believed that the Golden Dragon King injected power into his body in order to help him, it was undeniable that it was because of the Golden Dragon King's power that he could grow so rapidly.

During the process of growing up, he received help from several Dragon Kings. Without them, he would not be who he is today.

Therefore, from the very beginning, he had a certain favorable impression towards soul beasts. As long as they did not offend him, he would even take the initiative to ask them for help.

However, it is one thing for him to help the soul beasts out of gratitude, but it is another thing for the soul beasts to morally blackmail and control him to help them, so he just scolded them.

"Is there a favor?... I see."

Gu Yue was obviously a little surprised to hear Tang Wulin's answer, and her face immediately regained some of its spirit.

In her heart, she originally thought that Tang Wulin wanted to turn all the soul beasts into his slaves and squeeze out their last value.

Now it seems that it is not so bad.

She asked seriously:

"Then what are the conditions and price?" It was obvious that Tang Wulin would not help them for free or unconditionally.

Anyway, no matter what the soul beast does now, it cannot escape the fate of destruction, so it is better to listen to Tang Wulin's words.

Tang Wulin thought for a while and said:

"Well... Actually, I don't have too many requirements, but I have to make it clear first. If you accept my assistance, I will no longer allow you to attack humans. You must tell me all your plans for humans, and you must inform me in advance if you want to do anything that will harm humans. If I find out that you attack humans without my permission, I will end my support for you depending on the situation. If the situation is serious, I may even get rid of you all myself. Do you understand?"

Tang Wulin's help to the soul beasts was mostly because he was kind enough and willing to help these clans that were more or less related to the dragon clan. But if they were to go too far and try to touch his bottom line, he wouldn't mind letting them know how terrifying the angry Dragon King Douluo was.

"Of course."

The ferocious beasts had anticipated this. They could see it from Tang Wulin's attitude just now, so they all agreed without hesitation.

"As for the price..."

Tang Wulin smiled.

"When I need your help, just help me a little. Don't worry, with my strength, I probably won't need you to help me too much."

"..."

He sounded very relaxed when he said it, but Gu Yue frowned and was a little hesitant.

What Tang Wulin just said was indeed correct. With his strength, he really didn't need to ask soul beasts for help. But on the other hand, it also meant that if even he needed to ask soul beasts for help, the problem he would encounter would definitely be extremely troublesome.

At this moment, a hand was placed on Gu Yue's shoulder.

Looking back, I found it was Di Tian.

He said to her in a deep voice:
"My Lord, please trust him."

In fact, Di Tian did not trust Tang Wulin that much, but he understood one thing, that is, the soul beast had reached a point where it could no longer retreat.

If they rejected Tang Wulin and Tang Wulin was unwilling to help them anymore and just turned around and left, then they would be left dumbfounded.

They had no right to negotiate terms with Tang Wulin at all.

Gu Yue and Di Tian looked at each other for a while, and after seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes, they finally sighed.

"I understand. We accept it."

"Well."

Tang Wulin smiled slightly and stood up from his seat.

Seeing him stand up, all the ferocious beasts tensed up all of a sudden, ready to fight at any time.

Di Tian waved at them.

"That's enough. Trust him. This human has no hostility towards us now."

If Tang Wulin really wanted to kill them, they would have all died here long ago.

Tang Wulin smiled gently at Di Tian.

"Not bad, you are worthy of being the Beast God who has ruled over the soul beasts for so many years."

Di Tian kept a straight face and did not respond to his teasing.

Gu Yue frowned and asked:

"What do you want to do?"

Tang Wulin laughed and said:
"Didn't I tell you that I want to help you? In that case, I'll do you a small favor first."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the deepest part of the Star Forest.

The ferocious beasts were all a little confused. They looked at each other and followed him into the depths of the forest.

Tang Wulin moved forward and soon arrived at the deepest part of the Star Dou Great Forest, where the Lake of Life had once been.

This is a small lake. The water is crystal clear, as pure as a piece of azure crystal. However, the water level is far away from the shore and it seems that it may dry up at any time.

The breath of life ripples in the lake, but it is not strong, and even a little weak.

Looking at the nearly dried-up Lake of Life, a hint of pity flashed across Tang Wulin's eyes.

He had never been to the core circle of the Star Dou Great Forest, but ten thousand years ago, he had used the power of the Son of Nature and felt the distribution of vitality in the Star Dou Great Forest.

According to his perception, the vitality of the Star Dou Great Forest is distributed in a way that the further inward you go, the stronger it is, and the strongest is undoubtedly the Lake of Life at the core.

Now, although the lake of life is still the place with the strongest vitality in the Star Dou Great Forest, the vitality in this lake of life is far less than that ten thousand years ago.

Tang Wulin jumped off the shore, came to the water, bent down, and put his hand in the water.

At the same time, a green-gold soul ring full of vitality rose from his side, making the several ferocious beasts who followed him feel clear-headed and refreshed.

But their eyes were still somewhat confused, not understanding what Tang Wulin wanted to do.

Only the King of Ten Thousand Demons, who was a plant-type soul beast and had some understanding of the existence of the Son of Nature, guessed something. His eyes were a little dull and his mouth was slightly open.

No way, this human is not going to...

The next moment, his guess was confirmed.

A strong green-gold light suddenly burst out from Tang Wulin's body. The light expanded rapidly, instantly covering the entire Star Dou Great Forest.

Suddenly, alarms rang on the walls built by the Spirit Transferring Tower to encircle the Star Dou Great Forest. Countless powerful auras rose into the sky, vigilantly watching the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The commotion Tang Wulin made was really too big. This huge influence, which was like divine power, made these strong men from various forces feel extremely fearful.

The leader was an old man in a gray robe. He looked at the forest dyed with green and gold light in disbelief, and murmured in disbelief:
"This, this, is this a domain? But how is it possible? How is it possible that human power can expand the scope of the domain to such a huge extent?"

Even if only the core circle of the Star Dou Great Forest remained, its diameter reached a full eighty kilometers. It could be said that he had never seen such a large area in his life.

Just then, a small hand pressed on his shoulder.

His whole body trembled violently and he turned his head suddenly.

"Who?!"

You have to know that he is a Super Douluo of the spiritual system, and his spiritual power is in no way inferior to that of the Extreme Douluo. There are almost no people in this world who can get behind him so stealthily.

However, when he saw the face of the person behind him, all his doubts disappeared.

He bowed respectfully to the other party.

"Your Majesty Lingbing Douluo, what do you want?"

The person behind him was a girl with blue hair and blue eyes. There was a faint golden light flashing in her eyes and a faint smile on her pretty face. It was Huo Yutong.

What surprised the old man was that her other hand was holding a little girl with silver hair and silver eyes. The two of them stood together, like sisters, forming a beautiful landscape that immediately attracted the attention of all the strong men present.

The matter of Huo Yutong caused a lot of controversy some time ago. Unless they were savages who were completely out of touch with society, they knew of her existence. Therefore, they all recognized Huo Yutong and imitated the old man to pay their respects to her.

In this era, Lingbing Douluo is the symbol of supreme strength and status.

Huo Yutong smiled and said:
"Don't worry, this is my lover in the Xingdou Great Forest in contact with those fierce beasts. If it goes well, you probably won't have to worry about the soul beasts attacking humans anymore."

The old man blinked in astonishment and exclaimed:

"Really?!"

As a senior staff member of the Spirit Transferring Tower, he knew very well how troubled Qiangu Dongfeng was about the soul beasts during this period. It was precisely because he had no way to deal with these soul beasts that he was sent here by Qiangu Dongfeng to guard them just in case.

Huo Yutong's words could be said to have solved their urgent problem.

Huo Yutong chuckled and nodded.

"Well, I guarantee it with the title of Spirit Ice Douluo."

"Great!"

Suddenly, all the powerful men around showed joy.

They all have great trust in Huo Yutong's words.

Huo Yutong held Na'er's hand and looked at the Star Forest not far away, which was shining with green and gold light. A rose-gold light flashed in his eyes.

Even for Tang Wulin, it is impossible not to consume energy after mobilizing such a huge amount of power.

He would most likely fall into a weakened state after completing his work.

I hope the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest won’t do anything stupid.

Otherwise, she would do something stupid.

Huo Yutong had a warm smile on his face, but his eyes were gleaming with a chilling light.
