Chapter 38 Future Planning
The Lake of Life was bustling with activity at the moment. After the commotion subsided, the kitchen waste was naturally cleaned up and piled up. The Red King then burned it to ashes to prevent pollution of the natural environment.
After finishing their work, everyone found a big tree and sat down in its shade. To be precise, it was the six great beasts of Star Dou, Di Qiu, Huo Yutong, and the three of them, including the floating-out Ilex.
"How have you been doing at Shrek Academy these past few days?" Di Tian asked.
Biji, Ziji, and Huo Yutong each enthusiastically recounted their experiences at Shrek Academy.
Di Qiu listened attentively, and when he heard that Huo Yutong had won the championship, he cheered loudly, "Yutong, you are amazing!"
"You did a great job," Di Tian praised. "You all did a great job, exceeding my expectations."
"Next, it's my turn. What's the current progress on the 'Soul Spirit' technology?" Electrox said.
"The name 'Soul Spirit' is one that my sister painstakingly came up with for us intelligent Soul Rings, using up countless brain cells," Tianmeng explained appropriately.
"Tenmu, let's leave the rest to the professionals," Hyotei said.
The rapid progress of Soul Technology is largely due to the two "test subjects," Tenmu and Hyotei.
"A preliminary theoretical system has been established."
I have drawn upon knowledge from necromancy regarding soul contracts and symbiotic summoning… (omitting 800 words of a brief theoretical introduction to the soul system.)
The soul, in essence, is an equal and symbiotic soul contract, rather than a master-servant bond.
I have ensured that, in theory, the soul essence of a soul beast, under the protection of the contract, can form a virtuous cycle with the soul master's soul, grow together, and even... have the potential to transcend its original life form.
It can be said that everything is ready, except for one more person to become Yu Tong's third soul ring.
"As for His Majesty's other requests, we still need time to refine and improve them," Electrolux concluded.
"Lord Electrolux, I truly admire your ability to achieve such results in just three months," Di Tian said, rising to his feet.
"Soul technology will become the key to changing the relationship between soul beasts and humans in the future. Without a doubt, you have changed an era."
Then Di Tian bowed to the phantom of Ilex. This was not only a tribute to Ilex himself, but also a tribute to the spark that would change the fate of the soul beast race.
"From now on, you are my ally, Di Tian. If you ever need anything, I will do anything to help you, even if it means going through fire and water," Di Tian said, extending his hand.
"Di Tian, I've made you my friend." The phantom of Electrox reached out and shook Di Tian's hand.
Xiong Jun and Chi Wang were the most confused among the people and beasts present. They didn't understand Ilex's explanation of soul technology, but it was definitely useful, otherwise Di Tian would never have done it.
Di Qiu was also quite confused, but as an Imperial Auspicious Beast, she possessed the fortune of a Star Dou Soul Beast and could vaguely sense the influence of Soul Spirit Technology on Soul Beasts. Intuitively, she knew it was a good thing.
After Di Tian and Electrolux finished shaking hands, Brigitte and Zi Ji also bowed to Electrolux.
Then Di Tian's gaze swept over everyone present. "The Star Dou Great Forest is powerful, but it is not the entirety of the Soul Beast World."
The significance of Electrolux's proposed "Soul Spirit" technology extends far beyond our own corner of the Starry Sky.
This is a spark that can benefit the entire soul beast race and change our destiny.
"If we want it to truly spread like wildfire, so that our race will have the means to engage in equal dialogue with, or even surpass, the human race in the future, we must unite the power of all the soul beasts!"
Di Tian's voice suddenly rose: "Therefore, I have decided that it is time for the Star Dou Great Forest to change its stagnant attitude."
We will send envoys to the far north, to the depths of the endless ocean, and even to the demon forest!
We must form an alliance with the Snow Empress, the Sea Spirit Beasts, the Evil Emperor... and all the top spirit beast forces!
Show them the future of spirits, and invite them to join this great cause—to build a true 'Alliance of All Beasts' that belongs to all of us spirit beasts!
Upon hearing this, the lakeside fell into a brief silence. Then, the eyes of the other ferocious beasts and Di Qiu, including Tian Meng and Bing Di, lit up!
Electrolux's voice carried a hint of emotion: "If this alliance can be formed, the Soul Beast race may usher in an unprecedented golden age."
"It is my great fortune to have my soul-manipulating abilities witness and participate in such a great undertaking."
Huo Yutong listened to this magnificent plan and her heart was filled with excitement.
Di Qiu exclaimed excitedly, "Yu Tong, Yu Tong! Shall we go to the far north to play in the snow together?"
"We'll build a snowman together then," Huo Yutong replied.
Di Tian's tone softened slightly: "This matter concerns the fortune of our clan for ten thousand years, and we need to plan it carefully and proceed steadily."
Yutong, your growth will be a key link in future communication with the human world.
The road to alliance may be long, but today, the Star Dou Great Forest has taken its first step.
"Di Tian, your idea is magnificent, but there is one premise that I'm afraid cannot be established," said Bing Di.
Di Tian looked at Bing Di and asked, "Bing Di, what makes you say that?"
"Snow Empress." The Ice Empress met the Emperor's gaze, her tone resolute, "She has been missing for a long time."
"What?!"
The Ice Emperor said, "Before I became Huo Yutong's second martial soul, the Snow Emperor had already quietly left, and there has been no news of her since. For the sake of stability in the far north, it was announced that the Snow Emperor was in seclusion."
The far north is currently being maintained by the Titan Snow Demon King Atai and the Ice Bear King Xiaobai, but neither of them can truly rule the region or represent the far north in signing an alliance.
She paused, then continued, "The news of the Snow Emperor's disappearance has been strictly kept under wraps, for fear of causing turmoil in the far north, and even more so for fear that powerful humans might discover it and take advantage of the situation."
Today, the far north is outwardly strong but inwardly weak. If it weren't for the harsh and frigid environment that makes it difficult for humans to penetrate, it would probably have already…
Ice Emperor didn't say anything more, but all the soul beasts present understood.
A leaderless far north region not only cannot become an ally, but may instead become the Achilles' heel of the entire alliance plan, or even a burden that requires troops to be divided to protect it.
Di Tian fell silent.
Based on his memories from the parallel world, he only knew that Huo Yuhao discovered the Snow Empress in the Sun Moon Empire, and then the Snow Empress became his soul spirit. He didn't know the specific details. He only had his own memories of the future in the parallel world, so he viewed everything that happened in the future from his perspective.
From his perspective, there were many details about things he was unaware of, but the God of Time and Space fed him a lot of information, such as the Snow Emperor's embryo auction and the golden tortoiseshell that stole the Gold of Life.
The atmosphere by the lake suddenly shifted from a feverish excitement to a somber one.
