The Ice Empress's Question, Must Tell the Truth

[Ding! Host, if you win over Snow Empress and successfully sever another of Dai Yuhao's opportunities, you will be rewarded with 100,000 points!]

"!!!" Zhong Kui heard this message at that moment but did not say a word.

After all, Ice Empress was still present. The system could tell Electrolux because he was trustworthy, but Ice Empress could not be fully trusted yet. Even if he did explain the system, there was no way she would understand; she would only suspect that Zhong Kui had lost his mind.

First, there was the difference in worldviews, and then there was the cognitive gap in knowledge.

In the eyes of a powerful soul beast like Ice Empress, how could something like a system truly exist in this world?

If such an incomprehensible existence really existed, why could only transmigrators possess it? Why couldn't soul beasts have one?

There were too many unexplainable aspects. Even for transmigrators like them, there were many things about the system that remained beyond understanding.

Therefore, this thing was simply impossible to explain. It was better not to say anything at this moment; some things were better left unsaid for everyone's sake.

"Human, your name is Zhong Kui, right?"

"That is the case, Ice Empress. My name is Zhong Kui. I come from an ordinary soul master family and am currently loyal to the Sun Moon Empire, where I teach others alchemy. However, I am self-taught. Although I teach others, the problem is that I am only a Soul Emperor myself, so I have attended school to learn soul master knowledge as well as knowledge regarding Soul Tool."

"I would like to ask you a question. If you want to cooperate with us, I want to ask: if we soul beasts do not master Soul Tool, how much of a chance do we have against humans?

You must tell the truth, tell me honestly, and you must swear by your martial soul that you will not lie."

"..." After hearing this, Zhong Kui did not know what to say. Did this even need to be asked? Human soul technology was becoming increasingly formidable. In the world 10,000 years later, even the Beast God Di Tian could not win. At that time, top human powerhouses held high-tech weapons, and a group of soul beasts simply could not withstand their combined assault.

This was not even a case of humanity gathering all its strength. Although the power of soul beasts had already weakened significantly by then, it illustrated from another angle that the balance between soul beasts and humans was extremely unfair.

At that time, soul beasts had lost the luck of the Auspicious Beast, possessed no high technology, and had not developed a complete inherited civilization among themselves.

It was basically just strong individuals like Di Tian holding the line.

Those who could have become gods were also suppressed.

The war between soul beasts and humans was inherently unfair.

The fact that soul beasts and humans could still fight to a draw now was only because soul beasts also had top-tier Limit Douluo powerhouses.

But later on, as the number of powerful soul beasts dwindled, humans would treat them like lambs for the slaughter. Eventually, there would come a day when soul beasts would be completely devoured and wiped out by humanity.

This was basically demonstrated in the later Legend of the Dragon King and Ultimate Douluo.

Humans developed Soul Tool to the level of god-tier weapons, capable of traveling into the universe, while soul beasts, suppressed by the rules and unable to become gods, were completely reduced to vassals of humanity.

Their luck was stolen by humans, their technological development could not keep up with humans, and internally, many soul beasts were not united.

If, in the era of Legend of the Dragon King, the soul beasts had the ability to organize and unite, and if the Ten Great Fierce Beasts were all still present, they might have been able to fight humans to a draw, or perhaps a 40-60 split.

But most of the leaders of the soul beasts were mentally ill.

Therefore, telling the truth meant clearly telling Ice Empress that humans would eventually defeat the soul beasts and that the soul beasts would only be reduced to human vassals. If he dared to say this, would Ice Empress be willing to cooperate?

Under normal circumstances, if he revealed the truth, Ice Empress might indeed not be willing to cooperate and might even unite with Star Dou Great Forest and Evil Emperor to suppress humans and hinder the development of human Soul Tool.

Moreover, Zhong Kui would die right here, killed directly by Ice Empress. So, at this moment, he had to bring up another topic.

"Ice Empress, I can tell you the truth, but may I ask you one thing? Do you know why soul beasts cannot become gods?"

Zhong Kui did not tell the truth directly at this moment but instead shifted to another topic.

"I don't know?" How old was Ice Empress? When soul beasts were barred from becoming gods, she hadn't even reached adulthood, or perhaps hadn't even been born yet.

"I can tell you very clearly: it is the God Realm that forbids soul beasts from becoming gods, and the God Realm wants to use this method to slowly and completely exterminate soul beasts."

"What do you mean?" After hearing this, Ice Empress was completely stunned. If that were the case, then what about the Ice God? Would the Ice God whom they in the Far North worshipped allow their soul beasts to be like this?

They, the soul beasts, were also the subjects of the Ice God in the Far North!

"You are lying. In our Far North, we have the Ice God we worship..."

"Although I don't know what kind of existence that Ice God is, and I have never seen him, this is the truth. Otherwise, with your aptitude, you could have become a god long ago.

If you don't believe me, you can go and ask the Beast God Di Tian in the Star Dou Great Forest, or even ask the Silver Dragon King hiding behind the scenes. These are all true; the God Realm is suppressing the beast race.

And it wants to use the power of humans to slowly finish off the soul beasts."

"How do you know this?" Ice Empress looked at Zhong Kui, who seemed to know everything, and asked directly.

"How do I know? Is that important? If you don't believe what I say, you can go directly to find the Beast God Di Tian. I believe the Beast God will definitely tell you the truth.

As for what the Ice God actually is, I have never seen him either. It is very likely that he was a beast god, or of course, it is possible that he has long since died.

I want to ask a question: how long has it been since you in the Far North have seen this so-called Ice God? If he truly cared about the Far North, he should have met with you by now."

At this moment, Ice Empress had already begun to believe that what Zhong Kui said was true.

"I can tell you very clearly that there is currently a very evil law-enforcing god in the God Realm, and his name is Tang San.

Although people on the Douluo Continent all say he is a genius of the world, describe him as the perfect man, and say he leads the whole world to make it a better place.

But I can tell you that under the leadership of Tang San, the Douluo Continent will sooner or later become his backyard.

What I am doing now is trying to stop Tang San."

"!!!" After hearing all this, Ice Empress was starting to feel shocked.

Big brother, what exactly do you know? If you say it like this, aren't you trying to trick me? Is it too late for me to back out now?
