Di Tian: I'm Joining the Spirit Pagoda?

Gu Yuena Di Tian looked at the slightly transparent Soul Beast figures above Huo Yuhao's head, and their eyes flashed with surprise and curiosity.

Jin Li, having witnessed Huo Yuhao's fusion with the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well not long ago, remained calm at this moment.

Huo Yuhao then carefully explained the concept of Spirit Soul from beginning to end.

Finally, he raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping calmly over Di Tian and Gu Yuena: "The appearance of Spirit Soul can not only enhance the power of human Soul Master, but also greatly reduce the hunting of Soul Beast. It is a win-win situation for both humans and Soul Beast."

"The Spirit Pagoda is about to be officially established, and I hope that this matter can receive support from the Star Dou Great Forest."

"We hope that the Star Dou realm will allow Soul Beast that are nearing the end of their lifespan or are critically injured to Spirit Soul Fusion with human Soul Master."

"Of course, everything is on a voluntary basis; there is absolutely no coercion."

After speaking, Huo Yuhao stopped talking and stood quietly in place, calmly meeting the gazes of Di Tian and Gu Yuena, waiting for their reply.

Di Tian remained silent for a moment, then slowly turned his head to look at Gu Yuena beside him.

Although he is called the Beast God, Gu Yuena is right beside him at this moment, and such a major matter concerning the future of the Soul Beast Clan should naturally be decided by this Lord.

Gu Yuena's purple eyes lingered on Huo Yuhao for a long time, and she was secretly shaken.

If Spirit Soul are truly as Huo Yuhao described, then it would indeed be a good thing for the Soul Beast Clan.

Moreover, this incident also shows that Huo Yuhao, as a human, truly has no prejudice or hostility towards Soul Beast.

This subtly lessened her worries about her identity being exposed.

However, she did not express her opinion directly. Instead, she turned her head slightly to look at Di Tian and said, "You can make the decision about this matter."

Over the years, Di Tian has been managing the affairs of the Star Dou Great Forest, Gu Yuena believes that he can handle this matter well as well.

After receiving Gu Yuena's approval, Di Tian turned his attention back to Huo Yuhao.

He remained silent for a long while, his deep golden dragon eyes flickering with uncertain light, clearly weighing the pros and cons of the matter rapidly in his mind.

After a moment, he finally spoke slowly and asked, "What is the success rate of Fusion Soul Spirit?"

Huo Yuhao met his gaze and, without the slightest hesitation, gave his answer directly, "The success rate is over 80%, and even if the fusion fails, it's only the ritual itself that fails; it won't cause any harm to either the Soul Master or the Soul Beast."

He spoke with great confidence, for the Spirit Soul Technology he possessed had been refined through thousands of years of practice and was already quite sophisticated.

The 80% success rate he mentioned is based on the premise that the Spirit Pagoda staff are unfamiliar with the operation; otherwise, the success rate would be even higher.

Upon hearing this answer, Di Tian nodded noncommittally, then fell into deep thought again.

Huo Yuhao glanced at Jin Li standing next to Gu Yuena, and Jin Li immediately understood.

She looked up at Di Tian and said, "Di Tian, I personally witnessed the entire process of Yuhao Fusion Soul Spirit, and it was indeed very safe."

Di Tian glanced at Jin Li, then at Huo Yuhao.

His voice was deep and authoritative. "According to what you've said, if this Spirit Soul Art is implemented, it would indeed be a good thing for the Soul Beast Clan. From the perspective of the Star Dou Great Forest, I seem to have no reason to refuse."

At this point, Di Tian's expression suddenly turned serious.

His gaze suddenly sharpened, and his tone abruptly changed. "But humans are cunning. Why should I believe that this Spirit Pagoda you speak of will genuinely cooperate with Soul Beast?"

Huo Yuhao already had a plan in mind when faced with Di Tian's question.

His expression remained calm and composed, and his tone was frank and sincere. "I fully understand Senior Di Tian's concerns."

"So, if Senior Di Tian is not at ease, he can also join our Spirit Pagoda."

"Join the Spirit Pagoda?!"

A hint of undisguised surprise flashed in Di Tian's golden dragon eyes, and his voice involuntarily rose a few decibels, clearly not expecting Huo Yuhao to say such a thing.

Huo Yuhao nodded with a smile, his face devoid of any joking expression. "That's right. Since Fusion Soul Spirit is a matter involving both humans and Soul Beast, it's only natural to invite Soul Beast to join the Spirit Pagoda Spirit Pagoda and participate in its decision-making and management."

Seeing Di Tian's surprised expression, Huo Yuhao continued, "If Senior Di Tian is willing to join the Spirit Pagoda, he can serve as the Vice Tower Master."

"Other Ferocious Beast predecessors from the Star Dou Great Forest can also enter the council of the Spirit Pagoda and enjoy the same voting and oversight rights as human Councilor."

Looking into Huo Yuhao's clear and sincere eyes, Di Tian remained silent for a long time.

His perpetually cold and aloof face revealed little emotion, but something deep within his golden dragon eyes was clearly shifting slightly.

After a long pause, he slowly spoke, "Cooperation is possible, but there is one thing you must remember: if I discover in the future that the actual operation of the Spirit Pagoda is different from what you said today, then the Star Dou Great Forest may withdraw from the Spirit Pagoda at any time."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao knew that things had succeeded.

He immediately replied without hesitation, "Of course, no problem. You can leave anytime you want. You are free to come and go from the Spirit Pagoda; there is absolutely no pressure."

Although Huo Yuhao smiled sincerely and openly, he secretly sighed in his heart that these Soul Beast were too simple-minded, even the Beast God Di Tian, who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, was no exception.

The Spirit Pagoda needs Soul Beast now because Spirit Pagoda is just starting out and needs Soul Beast Clan to provide Spirit Soul.

Once the Spirit Pagoda has grown and developed the technology to store Spirit Soul for a long time, it will no longer need to rely on the Spirit Pagoda Star Dou Great Forest.

Even if the Star Dou Great Forest terminates its cooperation, it will not shake the foundation of the Spirit Pagoda, nor will it affect the subsequent development of the Spirit Pagoda.

The Star Dou Great Forest, as recorded in history, likely declined in this way.

However, although Huo Yuhao saw all of this clearly, he did not have the slightest malicious intention to use them for personal gain in the future.

He genuinely hoped that the cooperation could continue. If humans and Soul Beast could find a new path to peaceful coexistence on the Spirit Pagoda platform, it would be better than continuing to hate and kill each other.

Gu Yuena stood aside, witnessing the entire "negotiation" process between the two.

Her purple eyes lingered on Huo Yuhao for a long time before a faint smile finally appeared on her lips, "I hope this collaboration will go smoothly."

The current Gu Yuena is no longer as obsessed with getting to the bottom of things as she used to be.

She no longer insisted on finding out where the Silver Dragon King Reverse Scale came from, nor did she investigate whether the Golden Dragon King's aura remaining on the Reverse Scale was real or fake.

She only hoped that Huo Yuhao could maintain a good relationship with the Soul Beast, so that when he ascended to the Divine Realm in the future, at least the Soul Beast Clan would have the support of a God King in the Divine Realm.

It has been a full six months since Shrek Academy was destroyed. The catastrophe that shook the entire continent six months ago turned this once sacred place, which countless students longed for, into scorched earth and reduced most of Shrek City's prosperity to ashes.

Now, six months later, the residential areas surrounding Shrek City have gradually begun to be rebuilt with the joint assistance of the Federation and the Spirit Pagoda. New houses are rising from the ruins one by one, and people's lives seem to be returning to normal little by little.

However, the land where Shrek Academy was originally located still remains in ruins.

No one cleaned it up, and no one rebuilt it.

What's even more disheartening is that, over the past six months, discussions about the Shrek Academy have dwindled significantly.

Shrek Academy, which was once famous throughout the continent for 20,000 years, seems to be fading away from people's hearts little by little, like dust blown away by the wind on the ruins.

Shrek City was originally dominated by three major forces: Shrek Academy, Tang Sect Headquarters, and Spirit Pagoda Headquarters.

Shrek Academy is now reduced to ashes, and the Tang Sect Headquarters was also severely damaged in that attack, with only the Spirit Pagoda remaining standing.

Although Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue both knew that Qiangu Dongfeng harbored ill intentions and might even be one of the masterminds behind that catastrophe, they had stayed at the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters for the past six months and had not gone out to hide.

Because they are no longer the youngsters who could be easily manipulated. Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue are now much stronger than before, and it wouldn't be so easy for Qiangu Dongfeng to make a move against them.

Once they start fighting, the commotion they cause will be enormous. With hundreds of eyes watching from the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, even if Qiangu Dongfeng really wants to eliminate them, he wouldn't dare to act openly at headquarters.

Therefore, staying at the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters is actually the safest option.

The Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, 83rd floor, Laboratory No. 9.

This is a private laboratory exclusively for Huo Yuhao, Leng Yaozhu personally applied for on his behalf.

The laboratory was brightly lit, and various precision Soul Guidance Instrument were neatly arranged on the workbench.

Huo Yuhao was standing alone in front of the main workbench, manipulating the Soul Guidance Instrument to "edit" the Spirit Soul in the control chamber in front of him.

Just then, the Communication Soul Tool on his wrist suddenly vibrated violently, emitting a rapid and short buzzing sound.

Huo Yuhao stopped what he was doing, glanced at the caller ID on his communicator, quickly took off his protective gloves, and pressed the answer button, "Hello, Aunt Leng."

Leng Yaozhu's voice came clearly from the communicator. "Come to my office."

Huo Yuhao didn't ask any further questions and replied decisively, "Okay, I'll be right there."

He turned off the communicator and casually sealed the Spirit Soul on the workbench.

He then picked up his coat, which was hanging on the back of the chair, draped it over his shoulders, and strode into the lab, heading towards the elevator.
