Snow Empress: Go See Di Tian

"Xue'er, tell me... is what this guy says reliable? All this talk about a Child of Luck, the God Realm suppressing Soul Beasts... it sounds convincing, but there's no proof, no way to verify it... I don't even know if I should trust him."

Zhong Kui: I can't help it either! (ﾉД`)

Zhong Kui had also heard what Ice Empress said, but what he spoke was indeed the truth.

The God Realm suppressed Soul Beasts simply out of fear of the Dragon God, so they kept them down to prevent any top-tier powerhouse from rising to overthrow their rule over the God Realm; to put it bluntly, they were just bullies who feared the strong and picked on the weak.

Especially now that Tang San is in charge, he wants to turn the entire Douluo Continent into his personal backyard and transform the entire God Realm into a Tang Clan God Realm.

This is precisely where Zhong Kui will eventually clash with Tang San.

Zhong Kui's interests are not the same as the Tang Clan's; at the very least, he does not want Tang San to turn the Douluo Continent into a private garden, nor does he want the God Realm to become a place where only Tang San's word is law.

In reality, Zhong Kui is not hostile toward everyone in the God Realm.

Zhong Kui only hopes to change the Douluo Continent and the God Realm, or at least guide the world in the direction he envisions.

For example, allowing Soul Beasts to become gods and expanding the overall pie.

Zhong Kui actually feels that if things could be discussed reasonably and problems solved, there would be no need to stand in opposition to the God Realm.

If the God Realm did not forbid Soul Beasts from becoming gods while expanding, then everything could be negotiated; furthermore, if Destruction God King were willing to talk things through and stop discriminating against Soul Beasts and the beast tribes, the issues could certainly be resolved.

But the problem is, they would never agree because their values are fundamentally different; because of the Dragon God, Destruction God King will never allow another Dragon God to emerge, so he chose to abolish the possibility of Soul Beasts becoming gods—which is, frankly, shameless.

Following that logic, if a traitor were to appear among humans, would humans also be forbidden from becoming gods?

So, Destruction's brain is simply broken; although he claims to act for the development of the God Realm, his mindset is not even as advanced as a modern person from Zhong Kui's original world.

Moreover, the God Realm could have developed perfectly well, and could have even expanded before Tang San arrived; yet, unexpectedly, Destruction only began to expand the God Realm after encountering Tang San.

Furthermore, Destruction should be aware of Tang San's actions on the Douluo Continent; for instance, after Tang Wutong returned to the God Realm and Huo Yuhao became a god, through reviewing relevant data, he should have known that Tang San interfered with the lower realm without authorization and even coerced Ju Zi, the leader of the Sun Moon Empire at the time...

His behavior can only be described as shameless. Destruction should have stopped him in time, or at the very least, corrected the wrongs once he found out, but he didn't stop him at all. He likely also knew that Tang Wutong's soul had been split, yet he didn't make a scene, which is just speechless.

Tang San split his own daughter Tang Wutong's soul in two to create a stitched-together monster, yet this behavior caused no ripples in the God Realm; no one called Tang San disgusting, nor did anyone say he was unfit to be a father.

It can be said that most people in the God Realm won't care as long as their own interests aren't at stake, and this situation allowed someone like Tang San to trigger various disasters, eventually leading to the sacrifice of Destruction God King and Goddess of Life, which ultimately allowed Tang San to profit and birthed the Tang Clan God Realm.

Regardless, Zhong Kui can only take things one step at a time for now; if they can talk things out later, that would be best. After all, the successor to Evil God King, Ji Dong, is also a transmigrator, so if he can persuade some people, that would be ideal.

"Human, you want us to cooperate with you? That is possible, but I hope what you say is true. I require you to accompany me to see Beast God Di Tian. Although we in the Far North do not acknowledge him as the representative leader of all Soul Beasts, the fact remains that he is the strongest existence among all Soul Beasts and one of the oldest in seniority. If what he says confirms yours, then I can consider cooperating with you."

"Then it's a deal."

Zhong Kui said. Di Tian certainly hopes to change the current status of the beast tribes. With Soul Beasts being suppressed and Gu Yuena yet to recover from the injuries inflicted by Asura, Di Tian likely believes that cooperating with a human to find a solution is the best path forward.

With Electrolux here, finding a way to construct a cultivation system applicable to both humans and Soul Beasts should be feasible; after all, if one can create Soul Spirits, one should be able to create other cultivation systems.

Zhong Kui trusts Electrolux, anyway. After all, Electrolux can be considered one of the strongest individuals in the Tang Clan universe, and he relied almost entirely on his own ability, whereas others mostly relied on the author's cheats.

Electrolux relied on his own merit.

"Xue'er... I don't object to going to see that Beast God, but is this human trustworthy? If he stabs us in the back, it will be a huge problem... I admit he has given me many benefits, but the conflict between humans and Soul Beasts has lasted for so many years—is it really worth trusting a human? Perhaps he has other motives. Back then, many Soul Beasts, because of that Soft Bone Rabbit, also thought about peaceful coexistence with humans, or finding a human..."

What Ice Empress was referring to was the story of the Soft Bone Rabbit Xiao Wu. She was one of the Shrek Seven Devils. When this matter spread among the Soul Beasts, it shocked them all: a 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit with low-tier bloodline actually called a Twin Martial Souls genius "brother" for who knows how many years, then became his wife, married him, became the scabbard for Asura, and ascended to the God Realm.

This incident did indeed inspire many Soul Beasts to have similar thoughts, but they soon realized they had overthought it; humans still discriminated against Soul Beasts and treated them as cultivation resources, so after that, no other Soul Beast ever thought of doing what the Soft Bone Rabbit did.

Moreover, they couldn't understand what Tang San was thinking. One must know that whether it was for the Soft Bone Rabbit to propagate in the Soul Beast territory or for other rabbit-type Soul Beasts to survive, they generally reproduced in massive numbers; from the moment they were born, they started breeding like crazy.

A single female Soft Bone Rabbit had been enjoyed by countless male rabbits; it can be said that Tang San is a ruthless man. To their beast tribe, this was a truly explosive affair.

However, they didn't voice it, because in their eyes, it had nothing to do with them.
