Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 284 Communication and Issues of Interest

Biji looked at Wang Qiu'er with gentle eyes and said softly, "Auspicious Beast, you're finally back."

At this moment, Di Tian also spoke up: "Auspicious Beast, why did you bring these two humans here? This is the core area of ​​our Soul Beast race, and humans are always forbidden to set foot here."

Di Tian recognized Chi Yuan and Ji Lin. Although Ji Lin had grown up, Di Tian could still sense his aura, and Ji Lin also possessed the power of destiny belonging to the Star Dou Great Forest.

As for Chi Yuan, he was even more familiar with her. Back then, it was Di Tian who brought the left arm bone of the 100,000-year-old gilded fire phoenix to Chi Yuan in exchange for the auspicious beast. At that time, Di Tian had already sensed a powerful force from Chi Yuan that was no less than his own. Now, when they met again, Chi Yuan gave him an even more unfathomable feeling, undoubtedly indicating that she had taken another step forward.

Di Tian couldn't help but marvel once again at humanity's unique advantages. It would take them tens of thousands of years to advance further, while humans could surpass their hundreds of thousands of years of arduous cultivation in just a few years or a decade.

Di Tian looked at Ji Lin with hostility. He knew that it was this kid's memories that had led their auspicious beast away. Now, seeing the auspicious beast with him, it was clear that the beast had run away to find him.

Feeling the unfriendly look in Di Tian's eyes, Ji Lin felt as if Di Tian had seen his own daughter being kidnapped by a scumbag.

Wang Qiu'er stepped forward, blocking Ji Lin's path, and said to Di Tian, ​​"Di Tian, ​​I'm back. This time we've come for the future of the Soul Beast race."

Di Tian frowned. "The future of the Soul Beast race? Auspicious Beast, what are you trying to say?"

Ji Lin pulled Wang Qiu'er back to his side and said, "Qiu'er, let me tell you."

Di Tian frowned even more deeply. "Qiu'er?"

Wang Qiu'er nodded and said, "Yes, Di Tian, ​​my name is now Wang Qiu'er. This is my human name."

Ji Lin stepped forward and said, "Hello, Senior Di Tian. My name is Ji Lin. I think you should be familiar with me."

Di Tian coldly said, "Of course I am familiar with you. You stole the power of destiny from the auspicious beast and even held it hostage to blackmail me into handing over a 100,000-year-old soul bone in exchange. You are really bold to blatantly step into this forbidden zone for humans. Do you really think that with her protection, we can't stop you?"

Di Tian's gaze fell on Chi Yuan.

Hearing Di Tian's words, Ji Lin felt a little embarrassed. Back then, when Wang Qiu'er offered herself to him, Ji Lin's relationship with her wasn't like it is now. Of course, he wouldn't be polite and would naturally take the benefits first.

Ji Lin coughed and naturally skipped over the topic, saying, "Senior Di Tian, ​​I have come with sincerity this time. Before that, I would like to ask you a question."

Di Tian glanced at Wang Qiu'er and said calmly, "Ask away."

Di Tian knew that although the auspicious beast was usually a bit mischievous, since it had brought Ji Lin to the Lake of Life to find him, it must have something very important to do. Moreover, he was not confident in defeating Chi Yuan. Unless his lord came out of seclusion, he did not want to fight Chi Yuan here, so as not to disturb his lord's recovery.

Therefore, he was willing to communicate with Ji Lin calmly.

If it weren't for Chi Yuan, even with Wang Qiu'er protecting him, Di Tian's attitude probably wouldn't have been so gentle.

Ji Lin said calmly, "Senior Di Tian, ​​in your opinion, between humans and you soul beasts, who is stronger or weaker in terms of intelligence alone?"

Di Tian frowned and said, "Although I am unwilling to admit it, you humans have gone from a weak race that was not even qualified to be food to what it is today in just tens of thousands of years. You are indeed generally more intelligent than us soul beasts."

Ji Lin continued, "So, do you think that with the development of the Soul Master profession and the increase in the number of Soul Masters and Soul Masters, the ecological imbalance that is gradually emerging between humans and Soul Beasts is something that we humans, with our intelligence, wouldn't notice? Perhaps the vast majority of Soul Masters and Soul Masters will ignore these issues because of their own interests. However, there must be some far-sighted and powerful individuals who realize the existence of this problem, right? After all, if Soul Beasts become extinct, what benefit will it bring to us human Soul Masters? We will lose the possibility of possessing Soul Rings, and if there are no more Soul Masters in the future, then the Soul Master profession will forever become history, won't it? It would be extremely detrimental to the development of both Soul Masters and Soul Masters."

After a moment of silence, Di Tian said, "So what? Do you humans have any way to curb the greed of Soul Masters and Soul Instructors? To stop hunting my people?"

Ji Lin shook his head and said, "That's impossible. The instinct of all living beings is to become stronger. Humans will not give up the opportunity to become stronger, nor will they give up hunting for spirit rings. So, if you hope that humans will stop acquiring spirit rings, that is absolutely impossible. Only interests can solve this problem."

Di Tian was taken aback. "Only profit can solve this? You mean you have a way to solve the spirit ring problem?"

Ji Lin smiled and said, "I came here today for this very reason. I want to show you something."

While Di Tian and Ji Lin were talking, the other ferocious beasts remained silent. Although the irritable Xiong Jun looked impatient, he suppressed his temper and did not speak.

This is the prestige that Di Tian enjoys among the ferocious beasts.

Holy marks appeared on Ji Lin's back and forehead. The next moment, the figures of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Snow Emperor, and Ice Emperor appeared simultaneously beside Ji Lin.

At this moment, even Di Tian's expression was somewhat moved. "Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, Ice Heaven Snow Maiden, you are the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor, and you, you big worm, you're still alive!"

Xue Di stood beside Ji Lin, her expression aloof, and said, "Long time no see, Di Tian."

Xiong Jun and the others were also somewhat agitated. Xue Di, the master of the far north ice plains, was ranked third among the ten ferocious beasts. Apart from Di Tian, ​​only Xiong Jun had the strength to fight Xue Di.

Tianmeng Bingcan was very unhappy. These ferocious beasts in front of him were the culprits who had absorbed his soul power and exploited him for countless years. He had originally planned to take revenge when he had the chance, but now it seemed that he would never have the chance.

Biji looked at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and said softly, "So you're still alive! When you escaped from this Lake of Life, we all thought you wouldn't live much longer. We never expected you to follow a human."

When Tianmeng Ice Silkworm escaped, it was already nearing its end, and given its combat strength, it would be difficult for it to survive in the outside world.

Biji and the others regretted it for a long time, lamenting that the vast source of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was wasted before they could absorb it.

Although Di Tian was somewhat surprised by the appearance of Xue Di, Bing Di, and Tianmeng Bingcan, he also noticed that the three of them were not in good condition.

The three Snow Empresses are currently in the form of energy bodies, without any substantial physical bodies, meaning they have all lost their original forms.
