[Gu Yuena 2:???]
[Leon: Huo Yuhao rushed back from Rising Sun City. Seeing Di Tian break through Mu En's Soul Seal and the Shrek defense line on the verge of collapse, he immediately opened the Undead Demiplane, summoning a massive Undead Army (Skeletons, Death Knights, Bone Dragons, etc.) to launch a surprise attack from the rear against the Soul Beast army, putting the Beast Tide in a pincer attack.]
[Leon: He even confronted Di Tian directly, projecting the phantom of the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and displaying his own Spirit Rings (including the 100,000-year red ring from Qiuer's sacrifice, and the orange-gold rings from the Ice Empress and Snow Empress). He directly declared himself the object of Qiuer's sacrifice, post all hatred onto himself to protect the Shrek teachers and students.]
[Leon: Using Luck as a bargaining chip, he threatened Di Tian, "If you dare take one step into the city, I will destroy myself, severing the Star Dou Luck bestowed upon me by the Emperor Auspicious Beast. The Star Dou Great Forest will decline from then on." He gambled with the very survival of Star Dou, forcing Di Tian to not act recklessly.]
[Leon: Sometimes I tell the truth, that guy Huo Yuhao really is something else. Wang Qiuer sacrifices herself for you, and right after, you go and start a fight with the entire Soul Beast Clan, is that it?]
[Leon: Here, Huo Yuhao introduced a new concept for Spirit Rings: soul spirits – a symbiotic relationship between Soul Beasts and humans through soul spirits. Using this as a negotiation point, he promoted peace between humans and beasts with the soul spirit system to protect the Foundation of Star Dou. Di Tian then led the Soul Beast army to retreat.]
[Gu Yuena 1: soul spirits?]
[Gu Yuena 2: Promote peace between humans and beasts?]
[Bi Ji: Is it really possible?]
For a moment.
Gu Yuena, Zi Ji, and Bi Ji also looked at Leon excitedly.
Leon, however, shook his head somewhat helplessly.
[Leon: A soul spirit is another form of existence for a Soul Beast. It involves extracting the Soul Beast's Soul from its body in a special way and forming a contract with a Soul Master, allowing it to become the Soul Master's Spirit Ring without being hunted.]
[Leon: In this form, the Soul Beast's Soul retains its consciousness and can even assist the Soul Master in battle. It was created by Huo Yuhao's ring grandpa, the Necromancer Saint Law God Electrolux, and later promoted across the continent by Huo Yuhao.]
[Leon: High-level soul spirits can grant a Soul Master multiple Spirit Rings and Spirit Abilities simultaneously. Moreover, soul spirits are inheritable; they can be passed down to descendants for continued use, making them even more precious than Soul Bones.]
[Leon: I think by now, the clever group members have already seen the future of the Soul Beast Clan.]
[Gu Yuena 1: Isn't that good?]
[Gu Yuena 2: soul spirits can grant multiple Spirit Rings and Spirit Abilities, and can even be inherited by descendants. How is that not a good thing?]
[Bibi Dong: Don't be naive!]
[Number Nine: You two Co-Rulers of Soul Beasts, Soul Masters already go to unscrupulous lengths for Soul Bones, let alone something even more precious than Soul Bones?]
[Leon: What's truly terrifying goes far beyond that. The emergence of soul spirits, on one hand, allows Soul Masters to no longer rely on killing Soul Beasts to obtain Spirit Rings for Level Break Throughs. But on the other hand, it's a form of enslaving Soul Beasts in disguise. Although the Soul Beast keeps its life, it loses its physical body and can only reside within the Soul Master's body. Wherever the Soul Master goes, it goes, akin to imprisonment. Even if the Soul Master dies, it can only choose to contract with another Soul Master and continue serving them, never gaining freedom for eternity.]
[Leon: Let me put it more simply: it changed from hunting Soul Beasts to obtain Spirit Rings, to hunting Soul Beasts to obtain Spirit Rings *and* enslaving their Souls, making them slaves for life after life.]
[Leon: Let me give you an even simpler analogy. Suppose Xiao Wu now becomes Bibi Dong's soul spirit. She would have to serve Bibi Dong like a beast of burden her whole life. After Bibi Dong dies, Qian Renxue inherits her, and Xiao Wu would then have to serve Qian Renxue like a beast of burden her whole life, and so on. I ask you, isn't that terrifying?]
[Everyone:???]
[Dugu Yan: Oh my god! You'd need at least two hundred years of Evil Soul Master experience to come up with such a vicious trick!]
[Number Nine: You're underestimating it. This requires at least ten thousand years of aristocratic slave-owning experience to devise something so wicked.]
[Xiao Xiao is the Cutest: Even I, a human, find it terrifying!]
[Liu Erlong: Too cruel!]
[Tang Yuehua: Just thinking about it is despairing!]
[Zhu Zhuqing: This isn't just despair; it's the beginning of the Soul Beast Clan's destruction.]
At this moment, all the group members from the Soul Beast Clan couldn't help but shiver.
Slaves for life after life?
It really would be better to just die.
[Call Me Her Majesty: That scoundrel Huo Yuhao, I'm going to beat him to a pulp!]
[Leon: Actually, this matter can't be blamed entirely on Huo Yuhao. Their original intention was good, but human greed is impossible to control.]
[Leon: Of course, there's nothing wrong with wanting to beat Huo Yuhao to death. When Wang Donger died, at least there was the Hao Dong Three Ultimates. After your sacrifice, not only did you get nothing, but he used your Spirit Ring and Soul Bone to fight your own Soul Beast Clan.]
[Number Nine: As expected, you are also the disgrace of the spirit beasts – The Freebie Qiuer!]
[Zhu Zhuqing: I think The Freebie Qiuer's actions are even worse than Xiao Wu's and Ah Yin's. Because Xiao Wu and Ah Yin didn't shoulder any responsibility, while The Freebie Qiuer bore the Luck of the entire Soul Beast Clan on her shoulders.]
[Bo Saixi: Why do I suddenly feel like none of them in the Soul Beast Clan have even a shred of sense of duty or responsibility?]
[Bibi Dong: You don't need to feel it; that's exactly how it is. If any of them in the Soul Beast Clan had a sense of responsibility, they wouldn't all have been so selfishly tricked into sacrificing themselves.]
[Bai Chenxiang: Wang Qiuer seems a bit better off, right? She was purely schemed against by Tang San.]
[Ling Luochen: That may be true, but it can't be used as an excuse. Your origin is the Emperor Auspicious Beast of the Soul Beast Clan; you should always uphold your mission!]
[Leon: You're actually right about that. For example, those people from Shrek, each and every one of them has a strong sense of mission, valuing the reputation of Shrek Academy above all else, even cheating to win a match.]
[Leon: As for other matters regarding soul spirits, I'll explain them slowly to you after the other two friends from the Soul Beast Clan join the group.]
[Leon: After Wang Qiuer's sacrifice, her divine soul was taken by Tang San. With Tang San's entire plan completed, Tang Wutong was thus fused into existence.]
[Leon: This is the interesting thing I mentioned earlier. Actually, Tang Wutong is also a clown. Let me ask you all... what does the Hao Dong Three Ultimates have to do with Tang Wutong?]
[Everyone:???]
The entire Group Chat fell silent Instantly.
Huh?
This... this... this?
[Dugu Yan: Is there... isn't there... I don't know!]
[Zhu Zhuyun: I'm confused too.]
[Liu Erlong: This is giving me a bit of a headache. What do you think, Wang Donger?]
[Number Nine: Tang Wutong = Wang Donger, Tang Xiaoqi's memories and a portion of divine sense, Wang Qiuer, and Wang Qiuer's Soul and Bloodline. Am I roughly correct?]
[Leon: Yes, it's roughly Wang Donger, Divine Realm memories, Wang Qiuer's Dragon God Bloodline, etc., all finally fused into Tang Wutong.]
