Chapter 591: The Ice God Appears, Di Tian Shocked
It was the first time he had heard this term, and it felt completely unfamiliar.
Ice Empress crossed her arms over her chest, her long, emerald green hair swaying slightly. She lifted her chin and coldly said, "A Soul Spirit is a more advanced alternative to a soul ring. To put it simply, it is a replacement for soul rings. A soul master and a soul beast can form a contract, allowing the soul master to obtain a Soul Spirit. Through this method, the soul master gains a soul ring, while the soul beast retains its consciousness and follows the soul master as a spirit.
Huo Yuhao is the first human in this world to possess a Soul Spirit, Di Tian. This is the method he spoke of to reduce the killing between humans and soul beasts!
Huo Yuhao has already begun promoting the Soul Spirit system in many places, successfully reducing the slaughter of soul beasts!
Just now, you refused to believe him. You sat there, flaunting your title as the Beast God. But let me ask you, what have you, as a so called 'Beast God,' ever done to reduce the bloodshed between humans and soul beasts?
You, a soul beast that hasn't even become a god yet, dare to be called the Beast God?
You've witnessed soul beasts being slaughtered by humans, and all you know how to do is unleash beast tides against them? What right do you have to act so high and mighty here?"
Ice Empress's attitude toward Di Tian was downright hostile.
After all, the relationship between the Great Northern Soul Beasts and Di Tian had never been close. As a Northern Soul Beast herself, she rarely acknowledged his authority and only followed Snow Empress's commands.
She understood that Di Tian was merely a representative of soul beasts, not their absolute ruler.
But now, she was the inheritor of the Ice God's legacy and was destined to serve as Huo Yuhao's Subordinate God in the future.
Since Di Tian had insulted Huo Yuhao, she naturally wouldn't give him any respect. Otherwise, wouldn't that be an embarrassment to Huo Yuhao, the future Ice God?
As someone deeply connected to Huo Yuhao and sharing the same interests, she naturally stood on his side.
Di Tian was left stunned.
From the moment the first soul master appeared in the world, the primary method for humans to obtain soul rings had always been hunting soul beasts. This had been the biggest source of conflict between the two races.
Apart from sacrificial rituals and divine bestowed soul rings, this was the first time he had heard of a way to obtain soul rings without killing soul beasts.
Not only that this method allowed soul beasts to retain their consciousness!
This changed everything.
Could it be that Qiu'er bringing this human to the Star Dou Forest was actually a good thing?
However
Snow Empress and Ice Empress…
Both were considered powerhouses even among soul beasts.
Yet now, they had become Huo Yuhao's Soul Spirits?
What had they gone through to end up in such a state?
Beside him, Scarlet King and Bi Ji were just as shocked by Ice Empress's words.
Huo Yuhao watched the three Great Beasts fall into silence, particularly Di Tian.
He couldn't help but wonder
Did Ice Empress' words provoke him too much?
Was Di Tian currently holding back his anger?
Would he think Ice Empress was challenging his authority as the Beast God and react like he did when disciplining Bear Lord?
If so, Huo Yuhao would have to use his trump cards to deal with Di Tian.
There was no way he would stand by and let Ice Empress get bullied.
Not only was she his Soul Spirit, but she was also his future Subordinate God his own person.
How could he allow someone else to mistreat her?
With that in mind, he mentally prepared himself for the worst.
Di Tian finally spoke.
"Ice Empress, I will admit that if this Soul Spirit method can truly be used on other soul beasts, it would indeed be highly valuable.
"It would significantly reduce the killing between humans and soul beasts. Compared to my method of launching beast tides to threaten humans, this is undoubtedly a better solution.
"After all, every beast tide results in heavy casualties not just for humans but for soul beasts as well."
His golden eyes gleamed.
"That is why I want Huo Yuhao to stay in the Star Dou Forest with Qiu'er.
"As for how long… that will depend on the results of this Soul Spirit system."
"For Qiu'er's sake, I will not harm him. But for the time being
"Huo Yuhao will not be allowed to return to the human world!"
His eyes flashed with determination.
Di Tian had spent many years by Qiu'er's side. He understood her better than anyone.
He could tell that Qiu'er genuinely liked this human.
If he harmed Huo Yuhao, it would have unpredictable consequences.
And since Huo Yuhao held the knowledge of the Soul Spirit system, Di Tian had no intention of hurting him.
However
If he simply drove Huo Yuhao away, then even if he forcibly kept Qiu'er in the Star Dou Forest, her heart would not remain here.
She would constantly think about escaping to the human world.
Thus, the best solution was to keep Huo Yuhao in the Star Dou Forest instead.
The moment he finished speaking
Snow Empress raised an ice sword, holding it horizontally in front of her.
Ice Empress's body glowed with emerald green light, preparing for battle.
To them, Di Tian's words were no different from a threat!
"Di Tian!"
Qiu'er's voice rose in panic.
"How could you do something like this?!"
She had thought that as long as they pretended to be lovers, Di Tian wouldn't harm Huo Yuhao.
But she hadn't expected that he would try to keep him imprisoned here!
Although she wanted to stay with Huo Yuhao, if it meant taking away his freedom, she could never agree to it!
Di Tian looked at her apologetically.
"I'm sorry, Qiu'er.
"Everything I'm doing is for your sake
"And for the future of the soul beast race.
"But don't worry. Since I promised not to harm Huo Yuhao, I will keep my word."
Huo Yuhao's expression remained calm as he stared at Di Tian.
"Di Tian, I cannot accept your terms.
"I have unfinished business in the human world.
"If I stay here for too long, it will disrupt my plans.
"You should abandon this unreasonable demand."
Di Tian's golden eyes narrowed.
"Huo Yuhao, you have no choice in the matter."
"You may have Snow Empress and Ice Empress as your Soul Spirits, but that is meaningless to me."
He didn't fully understand Soul Spirits, but he was certain that their power depended on Huo Yuhao's cultivation level.
When he first met this human, Huo Yuhao had been extremely weak.
Even if a few years had passed, at most, he was a Spirit Sage.
What threat could a Spirit Sage pose to him?
Reaching out, Di Tian extended a golden claw toward Huo Yuhao.
But in that instant
Huo Yuhao's eyes turned pure ice blue.
A pair of frosty wings spread from his back.
The surrounding forest was instantly covered in ice.
A majestic, commanding aura burst forth from him.
Di Tian's entire body trembled.
Memories surged like a tidal wave in his mind.
His eyes widened in shock, and his body shuddered uncontrollably.
A voice escaped his lips
"Aunt Shui?! Is that you?
"Did you reincarnate into a human?!"
