"What do you have to say, brat!?"
Mindful that Di Qiu'er was still here, Di Tian did not reveal even a trace of the killing intent rising within him.
Yet the hostility in his tone was unmistakable.
"I want to negotiate with you."
"Negotiate?"
Thick disdain filled Di Tian's eyes.
"You think you're qualified?"
"He is."
Supported by Huo Yuhao, Mu En stood behind Liu Yuan. While demonstrating through his actions that he was Liu Yuan's backing, he said, "Yuan'er is the next master of the Sea God Pavilion and my successor."
"Now, he speaks entirely on my behalf."
"Hmph."
Di Tian snorted coldly.
"But I don't think there is any need to negotiate! No matter what happens today, I will take the Emperor Auspicious Beast away! None of you will stop me!"
Just as the atmosphere became taut with drawn swords, Liu Yuan unexpectedly said in a calm tone, "Doesn't the Beast God intend to hear what I wish to discuss with you?"
"For example, the future of the soul beasts."
The irritation and killing intent Di Tian had felt earlier suddenly calmed. Even his golden eyes became deep and inscrutable.
"Human brat, what do you want to say?"
"Surely the Beast God can see it. As humanity develops faster and faster, the resources we require will grow ever greater. The most obvious among them are soul beast resources for Soul Rings. But resources are limited, which means the conflict between soul beasts and humans will only intensify. What do you think the future will be like?"
Liu Yuan went straight to the point.
Yet his eloquent words made everyone else's hearts pound.
Wasn't he afraid Di Tian would turn hostile on the spot?
After all, the conflict between Soul Masters and soul beasts had existed since ancient times.
