"Hahaha!"
"As expected! Among the hundred-thousand-year soul beasts of the Far North, I am the strongest!"
"Your love for the Emperor is too low in purity!"
"You can never compare to me, who has already etched the Emperor's image onto my chest!!!"
A hundred-thousand-year-old Ice Diamond Tyrannosaurus stood atop a Diamond Mammoth, roaring to the sky.
Many hundred-thousand-year-old beast kings lay around it; it was clearly the victor of this battle royale.
The Ice Diamond Tyrannosaurus proudly raised its head, the warm sunlight shining on its ice diamond armor, tinging the deep blue with a hazy yellow.
Engraved on the tyrannosaurus's chest was an image of Huo Yuhao, looking down upon the world, sitting on an ice throne, an image of an emperor.
"With the Emperor's protection! I am invincible!"
"Praise the Emperor!"
This caused the Snow Empress and Water Dragon King, responsible for ensuring safety, to twitch their eyelids wildly.
"Are all beastmen these days so elaborate?"
"Even dragons have never had the Dragon God engraved on their scales."
The Snow Empress slapped her forehead and explained to the astonished Water Dragon King,
"Due to the climate in the far north, the emotions of spirit beasts are mostly quite extreme."
"But this is the first time I've seen one this extreme."
The Water Dragon King examined the Ice Diamond Tyrannosaurus and said,
"Its bloodline is already close to that of a true dragon; it should be a top-tier existence among sub-dragons."
"It looks like a branch of the Tyrannosaurus Rex."
The Snow Empress nodded and said,
"Yes, that's right." "
The Ice Diamond Tyrannosaurus is a very rare spirit beast in the far north. Because of its belligerence, there aren't many of them in the race."
However, this race values loyalty and righteousness; I've never heard of an Ice Diamond Tyrannosaurus betraying its companions."
In times of danger, the Ice Diamond Tyrannosaurus is very reliable.
"When there is no danger, they are the greatest danger."
The Water Dragon King's eyes flickered slightly as he looked to the side, his gentle, watery voice echoing in the air.
"They're here."
"But it looks like they haven't caught any fish."
"Hmm, according to the magic network, they should be called 'air force'?"
Xue Di smiled, watching the master and apprentice slowly approaching from afar.
"Don't say that in front of him, or he'll definitely give you some classic fishing rhetoric."
"Let's go, let's go down too."
The two women descended from the sky, the soft snow slightly sinking in, leaving a trail of footprints.
Huo Yuhao brought Su Tong to their side and said,
"How did it go?"
"Looks like the winner has been decided."
Xue Di and the Water Dragon King took the fishing rod and landing net from Huo Yuhao's hands respectively.
"Hmm."
"It's the Ice Diamond Tyrannosaurus. It's ready and can start the contract at any time."
Huo Yuhao nodded, turned to Su Tong and said,
"Let's go straight over and start the contract now."
"A Xue and A Shui are in charge of recording."
Su Tong put down the bucket and followed Huo Yuhao, jogging all the way to the Ice Diamond Tyrannosaurus's side.
Upon seeing Huo Yuhao, the Ice Diamond Tyrannosaurus's enormous, pale golden eyes blazed with fanaticism, and its nostrils flared with scorching breath.
"Great Emperor! The only blazing sun of the far north! Supreme Lord!"
"Your subjects are ready!"
Huo Yuhao saw the pattern on the Ice Diamond Tyrannosaurus's chest that made him lose his composure. His eyelids twitched wildly.
This title and this image were anything but good!
"That thing on your chest..."
"Sigh, never mind, let's start the contract first."
"You should know the advantages and disadvantages of Soul Spirit Technology by now."
The Ice Diamond Tyrannosaurus lowered its head, its tone respectful and excited.
"Your Majesty! I have studied it day and night and memorized it."
"To have Your Majesty personally conduct the Soul Spirit Contract is the greatest honor for our race!"
Huo Yuhao's face showed the expressions of an old man, a subway car, and a cell phone.
He remembered that he hadn't injected the Yi Lin Concentrated Potion into the Far North, righ?
How come these guys are even more outrageous than Youyou and Bajiao who injected the Yi Lin Concentrated Potion?
He really couldn't understand what these guys were thinking, so he simply ignored it.
Anyway, it wasn't a bad thing for Huo Yuhao.
"Su Tong, Ice Diamond Tyrannosaurus, you two stand together."
"Prepare to begin the ceremony."
Su Tong and the Ice Diamond Tyrannosaurus stood side by side, and Huo Yuhao's fingers danced rapidly in the air, and alchemical runes appeared and arranged in combination.
As the developer of Soul Spirit technology, Su Tong had memorized every detail.
The outer structure and core matrix of the contract array quickly took shape and enveloped the person and beast.
The Snow Empress and the Water Dragon King filmed from two angles, recording the entire process of the Soul Spirit contract.
Countless points of light emerged within the contract array, transforming into a bond of light connecting Su Tong and the Ice Diamond Tyrannosaurus.
All of the Ice Diamond Tyrannosaurus's power began to flow into Su Tong's body along this bond, and a red soul ring appeared and disappeared.
Until the Ice Diamond Tyrannosaurus collapsed with a thud, a scarlet soul ring emitted a faint red light, flowing like blood on the pure white ice and snow.
It wasn't over yet.
The Ice Diamond Tyrannosaurus's body gradually transformed into points of light, swirling around the scarlet soul ring, then slowly merging into it until a Tyrannosaurus pattern appeared in the center of the soul ring.
At this moment, all of the Ice Diamond Tyrannosaurus's blood and power entered the soul ring.
Finally, a strange dagger appeared from nowhere and merged into the soul ring, completely completing the contract process.
A short dagger pattern appeared directly below the scarlet soul ring.
It was clearly a talisman for breaking the laws of all things, an item Huo Yuhao gave to soul spirits and soul masters to sever their contracts.
Where the Ice Diamond Tyrannosaurus's body had disappeared, a crystal-like left arm bone appeared, gleaming brightly in the dazzling sunlight.
Su Tong sensed the living soul within the soul ring.
Soul spirits could observe the world through the host's spiritual power, provided the host consented, and could even connect to the magic network within the soul ring.
The Ice Diamond Tyrannosaurus spontaneously emerged from the soul ring, its massive head looking left and right, its body leaping and bounding, causing a cloud of icy mist to rise from the surrounding snow.
"What a wonderful feeling!"
"It's like being alive!"
Su Tong sensed the consumption of her soul power.
If she were just existing normally in the real world, she could maintain it.
However, if she were to engage in combat, the consumption of soul power would be enormous, after all, this was a beast king at the 100,000-year level.
The Ice Diamond Tyrannosaurus once again showered Huo Yuhao with praise before retreating back into its soul ring. It planned to stay inside the soul ring and play with the magic network.
Xue Di's sky-blue eyes shone with wonder.
She had long known about the wonders of soul spirit technology, but seeing it with her own eyes still left her in awe.
The man before her had indeed changed the underlying rules of the two races.
Soul masters and soul beasts were no longer preying on each other; he had proven through soul spirits that the two races could coexist!
Huo Yuhao looked at Xue Di and the Water Dragon King and said,
"Did you record them all?"
"Send them directly to me."
Xue Di and the Water Dragon King nodded slightly, and the two sent their respective videos to Huo Yuhao via the magic network.
Huo Yuhao opened the videos, without any editing, and forwarded them directly to Gu Yuena.
"Level 8 Gale": "I've sent you the video of the Soul Spirit Contract."
"We're counting on you for the Star Dou Great Forest, Na'er!"
"Don't embarrass us!"
"Gu Yue": "Okay."
...
Outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Gu Yue Na felt a strange sensation. Despite being the ruler of all Soul Beasts, she was now leading a group of enthusiastic humans and Soul Beasts in negotiations.
She had just finished watching the video Huo Yuhao sent, her brain practically memorizing every frame.
Gu Yue Na was now 100% certain that what Huo Yuhao said was true!
Soul Beasts transforming into Soul Spirits wasn't death, but continuation; their souls and bloodlines were completely preserved.
They could stay within their Soul Rings to play with the Magic Network, or emerge to fight alongside their hosts.
"Leader, we should set off."
An enthusiastic member approached Gu Yue Na, speaking respectfully.
Gu Yue Na snapped out of her thoughts and addressed the surrounding diplomatic team members:
"Prepare to penetrate deeper into the hybrid circle."
"A Beast King will greet us."
The group immediately began their actions, cautiously advancing towards the hybrid circle.
Because of Gu Yuena's presence, their path was completely unobstructed, without a single soul beast in sight.
They arrived at the hybrid circle in no time.
A three-headed Crimson Demon Hound, nearly five meters long, with three enormous heads and flame-like fur, sat on the outermost edge of the hybrid circle.
Upon seeing Gu Yuena, the Crimson King's three heads lolled out their tongues, and its tail swayed rapidly like a fan, like a puppy seeing its master.
However, just as the Crimson King instinctively wanted to nuzzle Gu Yuena, it suddenly remembered that its master was now the representative of the human side, and it was the representative of the soul beast side; it couldn't lose face.
The Crimson King forcibly suppressed its instincts and said calmly,
"We've arrived."
"Come on, I'll take you to the core area."
"You are the first humans to arrive at the core area; you should be proud."
The Crimson King hurriedly turned back to lead the way, not daring to look at Gu Yuena again, afraid of giving itself away.
Seeing that the Crimson King meant no harm, the enthusiastic diplomatic team relaxed their guard slightly and followed closely behind the Crimson King, along with Gu Yuena.
The researchers at the heart of the team curiously surveyed the scenery along the route from the hybrid circle to the core area.
Humanity knew very little about the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest; there was almost no credible explanation.
However, the only thing they could be certain of was that the core area was the paradise of the Star Dou Great Forest's beast kings.
The Crimson King led these diplomats to the Lake of Life, where Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts had been waiting for some time.
Gu Yuena, along with several enthusiastic researchers and diplomats, began negotiating with Di Tian.
Di Tian pretended not to recognize Gu Yuena, saying,
"Human, I know your purpose." "
I have also read the relevant information about Soul Spirit technology in detail."
"But! How can I trust you?"
Gu Yuena calmly looked at Di Tian, who almost dared not meet her gaze.
"Naturally, we have prepared ample proof."
"This is the video of the successful Soul Spirit Contract ceremony just held in the far north."
"Our technicians will explain every frame in detail to you."
After speaking, Gu Yuena pulled up the video sent by Huo Yuhao and projected it in front of Di Tian.
The enthusiastic researchers around immediately stepped forward, handing various documents to Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts, including Bi Ji.
Although Di Tian and his group had already made their decision to fully embrace Soul Spirits, they were still very curious about this Soul Spirit video.
Di Tian sat at the front, with Bi Ji and the others behind him, patiently watching the Soul Spirit Contract video and listening to the enthusiastic technicians' detailed explanations.
When Bi Ji saw the Ice Diamond Tyrannosaurus emerge from the Soul Ring again, she covered her mouth with her hands, her emerald green eyes revealing excitement.
As an authority on life force among ferocious beasts, she could tell that the Ice Diamond Tyrannosaurus Soul Spirit in the video was not a false memory or inanimate object from the Soul Ring, but a living, breathing life!
When the video and the researchers' explanation ended, the entire venue fell silent.
Di Tian stood up, and the diplomats in the diplomatic team swallowed hard, immediately preparing to negotiate with Di Tian; they were ready for a war of words.
"Your Majesty, Beast God, we…"
Di Tian raised his hand to them, signaling them to be quiet. His golden vertical pupils fixed on Gu Yuena as he said,
"The core area of the Star Dou Great Forest is willing to cooperate with you."
"The ferocious beasts can cooperate on all matters related to the promotion of Soul Spirits."
"However, could we first discuss how to establish an organization to ensure the implementation of Soul Spirit technology?"
"Without an organization with strong military power to protect Soul Spirit technology, it will be difficult for this technology to be promoted in the human world."
The diplomats hesitated; they hadn't expected it to go so smoothly, almost skipping to the final step.
The core area of the Star Dou Great Forest seemed very agreeable.
They shut their mouths and retreated behind Gu Yuena, watching how this high-ranking leader would negotiate with the Beast God.
Gu Yuena's lips curled slightly as she recalled Huo Yuhao's words about the organization's name. Her cool yet melodious voice echoed around the Lake of Life.
"Of course, we've actually had some ideas about this organization for a while now."
"Let's call it the Spirit Pagoda."
