Background / History
Soul Beasts are the basis from which Soul Spirits are created. The Spirit Pagoda manufactures Soul Spirits from Soul Beast-derived material, but the earliest forms retain feral instincts and hostility. Limit Soul Spirits have no stated energy limit, yet their absorption carries severe risks. 3
The relationship between humans and Soul Beasts is marked by conflict, exploitation, and competing views on coexistence. The Federation publicly advocates Soul Beast protection, but permits captured Soul Beasts to be used as live targets for experimental weapon testing. A defeated beast may then be forced into submission and converted into a Soul Spirit. 145
Human technological development has eroded the natural advantage once held by Soul Beasts. Even top Beasts of the Star Dou Forest face difficulty against high-level Battle Armor Masters, and the Garuda Special Forces are regarded as a major threat to their survival. 180 181
Society and Leadership
- Gu Yue — Identified by Di Tian as the “Lord Holy Son” and holds authority among Soul Beasts; she is deeply concerned with their survival, technological disadvantage, and treatment by humans 123 132 189.
- Di Tian — A leading Soul Beast figure and former Beast God; later reveals his true form as the Black-Eyed Golden Dragon King 123 201.
- Ziji — Advises Gu Yue from the perspective of Soul Beast interests and urges decisive action against threats to their race 80.
- Xiong Jun — One of the powerful Beasts discussed alongside Di Tian and Ziji 180.
- Xiao Mei — A Hundred-Thousand-Year Ice Jade Empress Scorpion who becomes Qiangu Wuji’s Soul Spirit after choosing to trust him and witness whether he fulfills his promises 146 148 150.
Relations with Humanity
Conflict and Exploitation
- Soul Beasts may attack isolated settlements, including annual Sand Beast assaults on a desert town. The swarm encountered there included ten-thousand-year beasts and a Sandstorm Demon Scorpion leader. 133 135
- Human forces capture Soul Beasts for weapon trials in Soul Hunting Arenas, where mecha bombard imprisoned beasts to evaluate combat performance. 145
- Captive Soul Beasts can be coerced into becoming Soul Spirits only after being beaten until they cannot resist. 145
- Some human officials advocate extermination. Zhou Cheng argues that Soul Beasts should be wiped out due to resentment rooted in past tragedy. 166
Coexistence Efforts
- Qiangu Wuji argues that Soul Beasts require access to Soul Tool Technology to obtain fairer standing against humans, though Gu Yue notes that intelligent beasts capable of mastering such knowledge are exceedingly rare. 54 132
- Qiangu Wuji seeks peaceful coexistence rather than compulsory Soul Spirit contracts. He tells the imprisoned Ice Jade Empress Scorpion that he wants to free her, not turn her into his Soul Spirit. 147
- Gu Yue and Qiangu Wuji later consider liberating imprisoned Soul Beasts to gain allies, but abandon the attempt when they find the facility heavily guarded and inaccessible without Zi Di’s written order. 189
- Qiangu Wuji maintains that the Spirit Pagoda’s original purpose is to bridge the divide between humans and Soul Beasts. 193
