Douluo: Starting from the engagement with Zhu Zhuqing

After the words fell, the Lake of Life fell into an eerie silence.

Bi Ji sighed slightly, but she still kept a smile on her graceful face; Zi Ji gritted her silver teeth and stared at Dai Yao, but did not say a word "no".

The other four soul beasts, the Red King closed his eyes, the Ten Thousand Demon King wandered into the sky, and the Xiong Lord exhaled heavily to show his displeasure. Even the demon spirits looked slightly strange.

Obviously, they have known about this for a long time and have a certain tacit understanding.

Dai Yao was stunned for a while, frowned and asked:

"Di Tian, ​​if I remember correctly, in order to make me agree to your conditions, you promised to take two transformed soul beasts as my concubines. They should be these two, right? Now you let these two women accompany me , Do you have the same thoughts as before?"

After all, Bi Ji and Zi Ji are also rare ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Forest. Di Tian's arrangement is too disrespectful to them.

Moreover, tens of thousands of years later, Bi Ji and Zi Ji are still Di Tian's wives. Although at present, Bi Ji and Zi Ji have not officially become Di Tian's wives, they must have a good impression.

This is probably why Zi Ji hates him so much.

Di Tian's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly:

"Even if I have such thoughts, would you agree? Besides, among our seven beasts, besides Brigitte and Ziji, who is suitable to accompany you?"

Di Tian did not answer directly, obviously thinking about what Dai Yao said.

However, Ditian's words do have some truth to them. Lord Xiong, Red King, and demon spirit are all fierce and terrifying. They do not understand human etiquette and are not suitable for entertaining guests. The King of Ten Thousand Demons, who is slightly human-like, has a sinister and vicious temperament, and is not suitable for entertaining people.

"Then it will be a lot of trouble during this period."

Dai Yao turned his head and signaled to Bi Ji and Zi Ji.

Brigitte smiled softly and nodded. Zi Ji snorted coldly, and Dai Yao could feel her resentment even from a distance.

Except for Biji and Ziji, the other soul beasts left with excuses.

Di Tian nodded, and immediately took Dai Yao to walk along the Lake of Life for a while. After a while, he found a cliff built inward. The built-in space is extremely huge, and there are still some traces of life, as if a giant creature once lived here.

Di Tian pointed here and introduced Dai Yao:

"Dai Yao, this is the place where a 100,000-year-old Titan ape lived. Now, that Titan ape has become your soul ring. You might as well live here while you stay here."

"The living environment of our soul beast clan is no better than that of you humans. We are lucky to find a place that can shelter us from the rain. You have to adapt to it."

Dai Yao looked at Di Tian strangely. Er Ming had become his soul ring, but Di Tian didn't feel angry at all. He really didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd.

Unable to figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it. After taking a moment to look at the place where Di Tian pointed out, Dai Yao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Although the built-in stone wall cannot block the wind, it is enough to protect it from the rain.

On the ground, there was a large pile of withered grass. It must have been sitting for a long time. The withered grass at the bottom was hardened like a wooden board, but the withered grass at the top was still somewhat elastic.

The cliff behind it, which had been relied on by the Titan apes for hundreds of thousands of years, was sunken inward and became extremely smooth.

Living here for a period of time is quite a novel experience.

Seeing Dai Yao's agreement, Di Tian pointed his finger towards the forest, and a thick tree root flew out from it, was cut into two sections in the air, and then landed on the withered grass as lightly as nothing.

Later, at Di Tian's invitation, the two sat across from each other on both sides of the tree stump.

Brigitte leaned forward and stood beside the two of them, presenting them with a green drink in turn. As soon as the drink fell on the wooden root, the wooden root was like a dead tree blooming in spring. A few branches could be seen with the naked eye, and several roots grew at the same time under the wooden root.

"This is?"

Dai Yao stared at this magical drink with confusion on his face.

Di Tian smiled lightly and said:

"This thing is called water of life, and it contains extremely strong vitality. With just one cup, you can live ten more years. The Star Forest only produces one cup every ten thousand years. But what's even more commendable about its effect is , is its taste. Try it, how do you feel?"

If it were left to the outside world, this water of life would probably be sold at a sky-high price, but now, Di Tian just wanted Dai Yao to have a taste.

This shows its level of luxury.

Dai Yao did not hesitate, took a sip, and the water of life entered his stomach. Dai Yao's eyes suddenly widened, and a warm feeling rushed straight to his forehead.

Dai Yao rubbed his cup, pursed his lips, and said in a deep voice:

"The taste is naturally excellent."

"I have heard that there is an extremely precious drink in the human world called 'tea'. How do you think the water of life compares to it?"

Ditian's smile did not change.

Dai Yao's heart moved slightly, but his expression remained unchanged:

"I don't like drinking tea, so I can't tell you which water of life is better or worse. However, although the water of life tastes great, it is too rare. Unlike tea, it can be obtained every year. Harvest several times.”

Hearing this, Di Tian couldn't help but sigh, Dai Yao obviously noticed his thoughts.

He turned his head and looked at the magnificent Lake of Life unconsciously. After a while, the cool breeze from the lake woke him up and said in a deep voice:

"You are right. This water of life and tea are just like us soul beasts and you humans."

"The Water of Life tastes great, but it takes thousands of years to get a little bit. Although the taste of tea is not as good as the Water of Life, it can be harvested every year. There are even many precious teas that are comparable to the Water of Life."

"We soul beasts have practiced hard for 100,000 years to match the efforts of you humans in decades."

"When a human with outstanding talent appears, we soul beasts have practiced for hundreds of thousands of years, but we can't even compare to them. Only I, an old bone who has existed since the birth of the soul beast clan, can compare with them."

"Once there is a strong human, he will risk everything to fight against us. Soul beast exchange, our soul beast clan can't afford such consumption. The strength of soul beasts and humans will certainly be greatly damaged, but you humans grow too fast, and you can recover in just a hundred years. "

"And this hundred years, for us soul beasts, is just a sleep."

"Because of this, I dare not let my people appear in the Xingdou Great Forest with great fanfare, and only let two unsuspecting little beasts occupy the Lake of Life as a cover."

After Di Tian's explanation, Dai Yao finally understood why Di Tian did not appear in the first part.

However, the sudden appearance in the second part may have caused some changes, causing them to be exposed to the sight of humans.

Dai Yao took another sip of the water of life, his eyes flickered slightly, and asked:

"Don't play dumb with me? What do you want to tell me?"

Di Tian paused, and said in a deep voice:

"Dai Yao, what do you think is the relationship between humans and soul beasts?"

Dai Yao said without hesitation:

"The relationship between killing and being killed."

Di Tian was obviously stunned for a moment, and before he could react, Zi Ji beside him was furious. She stood up with a face full of anger, and pointed at Dai Yao with trembling jade hands:

"Our soul beast clan is certainly not as good as you humans, but we will not let you humiliate us! We have retreated again and again, why are you still so aggressive?!"

Dai Yao's face did not change at all in Zi Ji's accusation. He glanced at Di Tian, ​​then picked up the cup as if nothing had happened and took a sip gently.

Di Tian sighed and advised Zi Ji:

"Zi Ji, sit down. Although Dai Yao's words are not pleasant to hear, isn't the truth so cruel? Why are you so angry when the truth is spoken? Don't we even have the courage to face the truth?"

After hearing Di Tian's words, Zi Ji didn't even look at Di Tian, ​​but her resentment subsided a lot. She still glared at Dai Yao and reluctantly sat down.

She was not angry with Dai Yao.

Di Tian was silent for a moment:

"Dai Yao, it is indeed as you said, you humans and our soul beasts have a relationship of killing and being killed. Every time you humans advance to a higher realm, you must hunt a soul beast to obtain the soul ring. What's more, some soul masters will even kill soul beasts wantonly."

"As I said just now, you humans are 'tea', and our 'water of life' is already scarce, and can't withstand your consumption."

"But Dai Yao, have you ever thought that when our soul beast clan is hunted to death, it is also the time for your human soul masters to perish. In a sense, we are also in the same boat. When the soul beast clan is really extinct, how should you humans deal with it?"

After the voice fell, the surroundings were silent.

Zi Ji was stunned, and the smile on Bi Ji's face froze slightly. The three soul beasts looked at Dai Yao at the same time, with different meanings.

In the unconcealed eyes of the three soul beasts, Dai Yao fell into thought.

Dai Yao had thought about Di Tian's question a long time ago, and even thought about it in his previous life.

The most fundamental reason for the hostility between humans and soul beasts is the soul ring.

In the original work, the second part of the Unrivaled Tang Sect gave a solution to the relationship between humans and soul beasts, which was Huo Yuhao's soul. However, due to various reasons, especially Tang San's obstruction, the soul ring was not successfully replaced in the end.

As for the later Douluo, Dai Yao couldn't bear to watch it.

I just vaguely remember that the soul beast clan went to a soul beast star in the end.

Therefore, as long as human upgrades require soul rings, the relationship between humans and soul beasts will never change.

However, if this goes on, when soul beasts become extinct, how should humans deal with themselves? Will they all become ordinary people?

But Douluo Continent is not absolutely peaceful. There are many aggressive planes in this universe. If all humans in Douluo Continent become ordinary people, once they encounter these planes, wouldn't they have no ability to resist?

If Dai Yao is still the child who is not sure of his own survival in the cold palace, these things naturally have nothing to do with him.

But he is now one of the strongest people in Douluo Continent, so he naturally needs to consider the future of mankind.

Dai Yao raised his eyes slightly, and glanced at the faces of the three people lightly. Then, he supported himself on the pile of dry grass with his hands, leaned back with his whole body, and said slowly with cold eyes:

"Yes, humans and soul beasts depend on each other. If soul beasts die, humans will no longer have soul masters."

"But, Di Tian, ​​have you ever thought about what the relationship between humans and soul beasts will be if it is no longer a relationship of killing and being killed? Peaceful coexistence? It must be impossible!"

"Race to race, there will be constant competition for living space. If one race does not completely overwhelm another race, then there will only be a life-and-death fight between the two."

"Di Tian, ​​if it were you, which one would you choose?"

Dai Yao sneered.

Different positions naturally lead to different views. For Di Tian, ​​the one who occupies a dominant position and overwhelms the other race is naturally the soul beast clan.

Therefore, even if the soul ring problem is solved, humans and soul beasts cannot coexist.

Soul beasts and humans have similar strengths, but humans have much greater growth potential than soul beasts. Therefore, the only possibility of coexistence is that high-level soul beasts such as Di Tian will be killed and break the backbone of the soul beast clan. Only then will the soul beast clan surrender to humans under the pressure of the situation.

However, will Di Tian and his friends give up his power in the soul beast clan?

If Di Tian dies, will those soul beasts who are loyal to him give up? Will there be no new war?

Obviously, Di Tian also understands this. For many years, the calmness that has been engraved on his face like a knife slowly disappeared, and he was a little out of control. The hand holding the cup trembled.

His black eyes drooped slightly, looking at his reflection in the cup, he was extremely absent-minded.

Of course, he understood the meaning of Dai Yao's words. If he could use his life to exchange for the longevity of the soul beast clan, he would be happy to do so.

However, when the soul beast clan bowed their heads, would humans give up? At that time, these fierce beasts would die. If humans had bad intentions, the soul beast clan would not even have the ability to resist.

He did not dare to bet whether humans would keep their promise.

More importantly, under the Lake of Life, their "master" was still hidden. As long as the master was still there, they had hope of turning the tables.

As long as one of the same clan ascended to the God Realm and contacted their other "master", then the high gods would fall and the soul beast clan would ascend to the God Realm. The world was turned upside down, and it was still unknown who would win and who would lose between humans and soul beasts!

Zi Ji and Bi Ji looked at each other, and the smile on Bi Ji's face disappeared for a moment, and then it was put on her face again. Zi Ji glanced at Di Tian, ​​with a complex and difficult to understand expression in her beautiful eyes. After a moment, she looked at Dai Yao inexplicably.

Dai Yao sat aside by himself. Seeing that Di Tian and others fell into silence, he turned his head and looked at the scenery of the Lake of Life.

After a long time, a breeze brought a few petals of fallen flowers, one of which fell into Dai Yao's cup and grew visibly. Not long after, a fallen flower grew in Dai Yao's cup...

The soul beasts woke up.

Di Tian suddenly realized, and there was a bit of loneliness on his face that could not be concealed:

"Dai Yao, I will leave first. Bi Ji and Zi Ji are here to accompany you. If you have any needs or want to find me, you can tell them."

Dai Yao naturally agreed.

Immediately, Di Tian disappeared in front of Dai Yao, and only Dai Yao, Bi Ji and Zi Ji were left on the shore of the Lake of Life. (End of this chapter)
