Di Tian: Why Didn't You Say So Sooner?

"Breeding with pigs? Aren't you insulting me?

"I am the mighty Beast God, a noble member of the Dragon Clan. How could I possibly breed with something as lowly as a pig?

"No. At the very least, it has to be cattle. No, at the very least, crocodiles or something. There are no Soul Beasts now, but surely crocodiles can still be found, right?

"And snakes. Other than those, I will not breed with anything. This is my bottom line."

"Although you and I have formed a contract, that does not mean I have no temper at all. This is my bottom line!"

Lin Chen seemed to have expected Di Tian to say this. He immediately chuckled.

"Lord Beast God, you make it sound easy, but you seem to have forgotten one very important piece of information.

"Once ordinary animals conceive eggs carrying the noble bloodline of Soul Beasts, the mother will be drained of all her life energy by the Soul Beast eggs. Their bloodlines are too lowly; they simply cannot sustain Soul Beast eggs and can only consume their lives to nurture such heaven-defying eggs.

"Three a day—how many is that in a year?

"And you are not the only one who needs them. As more and more contracts are formed, I can allow up to ten Soul Beasts to breed at once. That makes thirty mothers a day. Calculate how many that would be in a year, my Lord Beast God.

"That would be more than ten thousand!

"And that is only for one year. What about ten years?

"Twenty years?

"Think about how many that would require."

"In the future, I will definitely find pregnant females from various species for you and help you expand the Soul Beast bloodlines. But for now, please forgive me—I cannot do that.

"I currently do not have the means to raise so many females capable of pregnancy. I can only purchase sows, cows, female dogs, and other basic animals in bulk.

"So I hope you can set aside your proud dignity as the Beast God and make a great sacrifice for the cause of the Soul Beast race.

"Though the Soul Beasts born from these sows may be lowly, as crossbreeding continues, the pigs' bloodline will eventually be eliminated. They are merely a transitional measure."

"So in my view, breeding with sows offers the best value. We can use them as the foundation, then gradually gather other bloodlines and expand the bloodline pool.

"I know this is difficult for you to accept, but you must come to terms with it. If you cannot, then there is no need for our cooperation to continue."

As soon as Lin Chen said this, Di Tian fell silent. He could not refute him.

The original mothers that conceived Soul Beast eggs would die. Only Soul Beasts could withstand the energy contained within Soul Beast eggs. In other words, only first-generation Soul Beasts could continuously serve as mothers.

Lin Chen's words made sense. As Bear Lord and the others crossbred with Di Tian's descendants in the future, the pigs' lowest-grade bloodline would eventually be completely removed. It would not have much of an impact.

Breeding with ordinary animals was merely to obtain the initial Soul Beasts. Animals such as fertile sows and cows truly were the best choices.

But how could his pride possibly allow him to do such a thing?

He simply could not accept it. Yet he was already aboard this pirate ship. The contract had been signed, and there was no way back.

Di Tian immediately sank into deep thought, and Lin Chen did not stop him.

In truth, Lin Chen had a rather wicked sense of humor. If Di Tian could accept this, then his tolerance would greatly increase in the future. He would be able to do things with no lower limit.

It would be better not to explain it clearly yet. Once Di Tian had thought it through, Lin Chen could tell him. When he heard that information then, Di Tian would feel overwhelming happiness.

So Lin Chen decisively entered the pigsty and began arranging the items needed for breeding with the others. These included containers for storing and injecting seed, as well as a Soul Tool video player with Blu-ray ultra-high definition.

He was bustling about inside, while the atmosphere outside was exceedingly grim.

At that moment, it was not only Di Tian who had fallen silent. Bear Lord, the Myriad Demon King, and Scarlet King all looked unpleasant as well, because they would soon face the same situation as Di Tian and would have to breed with pigs.

They were mighty Beast Kings. When had they ever suffered such humiliation?

Yet now, they had no choice but to do it. It was truly despairing.

Among the four of them, the only one without any psychological burden was Scarlet King. It was a canine Soul Beast, and Lin Chen had enough fertile female dogs for it to breed with, so it was in the best position of the four.

Next was Bear Lord. At least it could choose female bears.

But the Beast God's Dragon Clan had already been completely exterminated. The best Di Tian could choose were crocodiles and snakes, followed by lizards. There were no dragons at all for him to breed with. How miserable.

Thinking about having to breed with three pigs every day, they could not help sympathizing with Di Tian.

But Di Tian was, after all, a formidable hero of his generation. After hesitating for only a short while, he quickly emerged from his thoughts, his gaze as resolute as if he were joining the Party.

He directly used spiritual resonance to contact Lin Chen. After receiving the response, Lin Chen immediately walked out of the pigsty. "What is it?

"Thought it through?

"Your noble Lord Beast God?"

Di Tian's expression was somewhat ugly, and he looked deeply disgusted. "What else can I do besides breeding with pigs?

"These are necessary sacrifices. I just never expected the sacrifice to be this great."

"So you agree?"

"Mm. Stop dragging this out. Better to get it over with sooner. Take me to breed now.

"But I truly cannot feel that sort of urge toward pigs. Find me some medicine—preferably the kind that will knock me unconscious after I get worked up, so that when I wake up, I will not remember what I did."

"Pfft—hahahahaha!

"Beast God, you are way too hilarious! This is the first time I have seen you like this. Look how scared you are! You really thought you were going to breed with sows? I am dying!"

Lin Chen truly could not hold it in anymore.

Di Tian, however, was completely bewildered.

"What did you say? What are you laughing at? Don't tell me... I do not need to breed with sows?"

Hope appeared on Di Tian's face as he looked expectantly at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen was laughing so hard that he could barely catch his breath.

"Of course not. I am cooperating with you sincerely, so how could I humiliate you?

"I had already come up with a foolproof plan. Breeding does not necessarily require you to engage in those indescribable activities with these sows. Not only would that be exhausting, but there would also be no certainty whether the breeding had succeeded.

"So I came up with something better—Soul Tool technological breeding. You only need to secretly release your seed in a room and store it inside a specially made Soul Tool. Then I can have my subordinates inject your seed into the sows' bodies and make them successfully conceive. The effect is the same."

As soon as Lin Chen finished speaking, joy appeared on Di Tian's face. "Damn! Why didn't you say so sooner?

"You had me worried sick! I really thought I was going to breed with these pigs and ruin my reputation in my later years!

"If we are using Soul Tool technology to breed, then I have no objections."

Di Tian beamed. "This is the first time I have appreciated you humans' Soul Tool technology. It is finally useful for something. Give me the equipment—I will provide it immediately."
