Myriad Beasts Contest
After learning that Jiang Nannan had become one of the Shrek Seven Monsters and that the academy had specially reserved a place for her, Xu Xingyu accepted the gift without any pretense, considering it compensation for taking away their Golden Ancient Tree, and hoping to contribute a little to Shrek in the Soul Master Tournament.
As for becoming a member of the Sea God Pavilion or Shrek, that's fine Xu Xingyu has no interest in being one of the Shrek Seven Monsters for life.
However, thinking of the Golden Ancient Tree that always called her "Dad," Xu Xingyu really didn't know what to do.
Overall, he had no complaints about directly turning the Golden Ancient Tree into his own exclusive scroll, after all, it was quite rare to find Divine Artifact that could both aid in cultivation and be used in combat.
But don't forget that in the previous incident involving the Evil Soul Master, Xu Xingyu had already obtained the Pseudo-Super Divine Artifact, the Myriad Beasts Blood Stele, which he created in his previous life. The abilities of that Divine Artifact were not only similar to those of the Golden Ancient Tree, but were even more powerful.
After all, unless the Golden Ancient Tree is a light-attribute or plant-type Martial Soul, it has no way to purify or evolve bloodlines.
The Myriad Beasts Blood Stele is Divine Artifact that can amplify the bloodline power of Soul Master and Soul Beast regardless of race and attributes.
The main Divine Artifact Xu Xingyu created this Divine Artifact was to ease the relationship between the Dragon Clan and other beasts.
Because the Dragon Clan had the supreme and holy Dragon God, the Dragon Clan of that time, without exception, used their absolute power to force other beasts to submit to the Dragon Clan.
This has led to the fact that, apart from the Scroll Clan who had long been tamed by the Dragon Clan, the other races harbor a sense of fear and resentment towards the Dragon Clan.
As the Starry Dragon Emperor, Xu Xingyu understood that the idea of wielding a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other, relying solely on strength to forcibly suppress the Beast Clan, would ultimately lead to some hidden dangers in the future.
Therefore, he created the Pseudo-Super Divine Artifact, the Myriad Beasts Blood Stele, as the so-called carrot, and after the Myriad Beasts Blood Stele appeared, the Ten Thousand Beasts Tournament, hosted by the Dragon Clan, was held.
This competition is held once every hundred years. Each race can send three outstanding young people to participate. The top ten contestants will receive the baptism of the Myriad Beasts Blood Stele, and the race of the contestant who wins first place will become the controller of the Myriad Beasts Blood Stele for the next fifty years. After fifty years, the Myriad Beasts Blood Stele must be returned to the Dragon Clan.
The Dragon Clan only acts as the host of this competition and does not send their own disciples. Therefore, the ownership of the Myriad Beasts Blood Stele will not be monopolized by the Dragon Clan forever.
Moreover, at least in that era, the Myriad Beasts Blood Stele was dispensable to the Dragon Clan, because they had the Dragon God's own Super Divine Artifact, the Dragon Ascension Pillar.
Originally, the Myriad Beasts Blood Stele was Divine Artifact created by the Starry Dragon Emperor in imitation of the Dragon Ascension Pillar. The difference between the two is that the Dragon Ascension Pillar is more powerful and is also exclusively for the Dragon Clan.
The Myriad Beasts Blood Stele is at best a weakened version of the Dragon Ascension Pillar that can be used by all races.
Moreover, the Dragon Clan is not afraid of any race daring to monopolize the Myriad Beasts Blood Stele, because the ultimate control of the Myriad Beasts Blood Stele belongs to the Starry Dragon Emperor.
As long as the Starry Dragon Emperor gives the order, the Myriad Beasts Blood Stele' first action is to obey the Starry Dragon Emperor and then assist him in annihilating all his enemies.
Although many races are aware of this, they don't care, because the most important thing for a race is its own continuation.
The Myriad Beasts Blood Stele ensures that their bloodline will not dissipate with each generation over time.
Therefore, the vast majority of races accepted this carrot and began to genuinely acknowledge the Dragon Clan as their leaders.
Only the Behemoth, Tai Tan, and Phoenix, who have always harbored resentment towards the Dragon Clan, have stubbornly and continuously challenged Dragon Clan, attempting to seize their dominant position.
The Phoenix Clan's problem stems from their overly arrogant and conceited nature, Behemoth the Behemoths, being outsiders, have no interest in obeying the Dragon Clan. Besides, since they feed on the Dragon Clan, wouldn't it be ridiculous for them to obey their prey?
As for the Tai Tan, it's simply because they're a mindless race that clings to immortality, completely unconcerned about whether their race will be wiped out by the Dragon Clan; they just want to challenge them head-on.
Fortunately, the other races completely submitted to the Dragon Clan because of the Myriad Beasts Blood Stele and the Ten Thousand Beasts Tournament; otherwise, the Dragon Clan would have been very annoyed by being harassed by these three races every day.
However, the Myriad Beasts Blood Stele was lost during the Dragon God War, which led to the cancellation of the so-called Ten Thousand Beasts Tournament.
However, Xu Xingyu has now obtained the Myriad Beasts Blood Stele. Although it can no longer be as large as it was in ancient times, it is still possible to hold a battle of ten thousand beasts inside the Spirit Contract Pagoda.
After all, countless powerful Ferocious Beast bloodlines have been lost to the river of time since the Dragon God War. It is necessary to take this opportunity to strengthen the combat power of the Soul Beast Clan.
Although the attitude of the Divine Realm is relatively favorable because of Xu Xingyu, one still needs to focus on one's own strength if one wants to be treated equally.
Xu Xingyu's only hesitation now stems from the presence of Soul Beast from races that are at odds with the Dragon Clan.
Take the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan as an example. As the clan leader, Xiong Jun has always been dissatisfied with Di Tian's rule. He only obeys Gu Yuena because she is stronger than him, while he obeys Xu Xingyu because Gu Yuena is his backer.
If he is repeatedly baptized by the Myriad Beasts Blood Stele, he may be able to activate the Behemoth bloodline in his body and transform into a true Behemoth, allowing the Behemoth race to return to the Douluo Continent once again.
Will this Behemoth, who feeds on dragons, still listen to Gu Yuena and the others? Even if he does, what if he betrays them one day?
It's important to know that in that Dragon God War against the Behemoth and Titan Clan chose to stand with humans against the beast horde led by the Dragon Clan.
This was not because they sympathized with the human race's plight, but because they wanted to use this war to remove the Dragon Clan from their position as leaders of the Beast Clan.
Unfortunately, the Dragon God had already lost his mind due to the death of the Starry Dragon Emperor, allowing the Behemoth and Titan Clan to witness the Dragon God's true power. In the end, the Dragon God completely annihilated the Dragon God in that Dragon God War.
Currently, the only Soul Beast with Behemoth or Tai Tan bloodlines are the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, Snow Demon Titan, and Titan Giant Ape.
Therefore, how to deal with this Myriad Beasts Blood Stele requires a long-term plan. Xu Xingyu plans to discuss with Gu Yuena tomorrow how to resolve this hot potato of Myriad Beasts Blood Stele.
This also allows him to confess to Gu Yuena and the others as soon as possible; after all, it's better to suffer sooner rather than later.
Having another daughter who isn't related to you by blood shouldn't be a big deal, right? It should be fine, right?
