Chapter 506 Brigitte Enlists
“Little guy, you’re still too young.” Di Tian’s voice carried a hint of helplessness. “You only have ten thousand years of cultivation, and your identity is too special, relating to the fate of the entire Star Dou Great Forest. We can’t make such a decision lightly.”

"What?!" Di Qiu'er waved her little fist in dissatisfaction. "Age is not a problem! And I want to become stronger too!"

"Sweetie, when you're a little older," Di Tian patted her head like he was coaxing a child. "Right now, what's more important for you is to grow up well."

Just as Di Qiu'er was about to argue, Lin You noticed a purple figure in the crowd. It was a tall, beautiful woman with long purple hair that cascaded down like a waterfall, exuding a deep, dark aura.

She is none other than the Abyss Demon Dragon Zi Ji, a powerful being with two hundred thousand years of cultivation.

At this moment, Zi Ji's beautiful eyes sparkled with longing as she looked at Lin You, her gaze filled with a mixture of trepidation and anticipation.

“Inheritor.” Zi Ji stepped forward, her voice as melodious as a nightingale’s, “I am Zi Ji, the Abyss Demon Dragon, with two hundred thousand years of cultivation. As fellow dragons, I believe we should have a natural affinity.”

She paused, a hint of uncertainty in her voice, "Although I am only a dark-attribute dragon with the bloodline of a sub-dragon, and not a pure-blooded dragon, I am willing to give everything for the revival of the dragon race."

As soon as Zi Ji finished speaking, the soul beasts present all cast complicated glances at her.

All the beasts knew that Zi Ji was Di Tian's companion. If she became Lin You's soul, it would mean giving up her physical body, which would undoubtedly be a huge sacrifice for Di Tian.

Di Tian's golden eyes flickered, but he didn't speak. He just gave Zi Ji a deep look.

"Purple Princess," Green Princess spoke softly, "Are you really sure?"

Zi Ji nodded, a determined light flashing in her purple eyes, "What is this sacrifice for the future of the dragon race?"

Lin You watched this scene, and a complex mix of emotions welled up inside him.

He could sense Zi Ji's inner longing and also perceive the hidden pain in Di Tian's eyes.

Wow, that's amazing!
"Before I make my choice, I want to clarify a few things."

Lin You's voice was calm and clear, "The Soul Spirit system is different from the traditional Soul Ring system. It requires mutual understanding and comprehension of each other's beliefs."

He looked around. "My idea is very simple: I want to build a world without racial discrimination or bloodline hierarchy. In this world, both humans and spirit beasts can live equally."

Upon hearing this, all the spirit beasts present showed expressions of shock.

"what?"

Xiong Jun said in a gruff voice, "You want to abolish the bloodline ranking system? Then you, as the inheritor of the Dragon King, are already the biggest beneficiary?"

"That's right."

The Demon King also spoke up, "The Dragon King's bloodline is the noblest existence. Now you're saying everyone should be equal, isn't that a contradiction?"

Lin You smiled, a smile tinged with a deeper meaning. "Who said I was including myself?"

All the beasts were silent.

Humans have truly taken shamelessness to the extreme.

“I am indeed a beneficiary, and the biggest one at that.”

Lin You readily admitted, "The power of the elements has given me almost godlike abilities. I can easily achieve material freedom and create miracles that ordinary people cannot imagine." He looked at the beasts, his eyes filled with a detached indifference, "But it is precisely because I possess such power that I understand even more the value of equality. When you stand at a high enough position, the ants beneath your feet, whether human or soul beast, are actually no different."

"Those so-called noble bloodlines are nothing but a joke in the face of absolute power."

The beasts were speechless at his words; they had never imagined that anyone would view the issue of bloodline levels from this perspective.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming somewhat heavy, a gentle voice rang out.

"Lin You, I am very interested in your ideas and hope to have a detailed discussion with you."

The one speaking was the Emerald Swan, Brigitte, who possessed over 500,000 years of cultivation. Although she was a life-attribute being and not the strongest in combat, she had an exceptionally long lifespan and powerful healing abilities.

Brigitte walked gracefully toward Lin You, her emerald eyes sparkling. "Although my next tribulation is still far off, I am very curious about what kind of world you have described."

Xue Di looked at Bi Ji, a scrutinizing glint in her icy blue eyes, and then nodded slightly, acknowledging her right to participate in the discussion.

Given Brigitte's strength and status, she is indeed qualified to be Lin You's soul spirit candidate.

"What does Senior Brigitte want to know?" Lin You asked.

Brigitte chuckled softly, "I'd like to know, in your envisioned world, what exactly should the relationship be between the strong and the weak?"

After all, her Emerald Swan race was too weak in combat, and because life attribute was a great tonic, they were hunted extensively. If she hadn't successfully raised her cultivation level and caught the eye of Emperor Tian, ​​thus gaining protection for the entire race and being able to live in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, the Emerald Swan race would have been wiped out long ago.

That is why Brigitte has such a clear understanding of the definitions of the strong and the weak.

After all, the soul beasts really do eat her people!

If she herself is not strong enough, she will also be eaten by someone, such as a savage and fierce guy like Xiong Jun. In order to improve his strength, if he were seriously injured one day, he would probably be very eager to improve his strength. After all, in his eyes, he has no concept of seniority or hierarchy.

Your cultivation level is high? We'll eat you; the higher your cultivation level, the more nourishing it is.

Just thinking about how Xiong Jun dared to challenge even Di Tian, ​​one can naturally understand its judgment of the strong and the weak.

Lin You pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke, “The strong have an obligation to protect the weak, not to rule them. Power should not be a tool of oppression, but a shield of protection.”

"What if the weak don't obey?" the Demon King interjected. "What if they become arrogant and ungrateful because of their favor?"

“Then let them bear the corresponding responsibility,” Lin You replied calmly. “Equality does not mean the absence of rules, and freedom does not mean that one can do whatever one wants.”

Brigitte's eyes grew brighter and brighter. She could sense the sincerity in Lin You's words. This was not hypocritical idealism, but a well-thought-out concept.

"So, how do you plan to realize this ideal?" Brigitte continued to ask.

Lin You looked into the distance, his gaze becoming profound. "First, you need enough power to break the existing order. Then, you need enough wisdom to establish new rules. Finally, you need enough patience to let the world change slowly."

He turned to look at Brigitte, "This will take a very long time, perhaps hundreds or even thousands of years. Senior Brigitte, would you be willing to walk this path with me?"

Brigitte pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "That sounds good."
