What Was Its Purpose, and What Was It For?
"Well said."
Qian Guiyi glanced at Luo Zhen,
"Even without Atavism their primal nature, we cannot allow the Beast Race to continue developing. Those Non-Self kind will surely have different hearts; this is an unchanging truth."
Luo Zhen nodded, his expression calm. "What you say is true, senior."
At this point, Qian Guiyi changed the subject:
"We'll be reaching the Dragon Race's territory soon. What are your thoughts and plans for this battle?"
"Given your current standing in the Human Emperor Hall, if you have any plans, our Great Qian Ancient Kingdom should provide you with the necessary support."
Several powerful figures around also turned their gazes toward Luo Zhen.
Luo Zhen pondered for a moment, then slowly said:
"Having assumed this position, I should do something. I do have some ideas now, but I need the cooperation of the Great Qian Ancient Kingdom."
"That's easy to say."
Qian Guiyi, his eyes filled with encouragement.
"Your ability to find such an extraordinary item as the Desolate Ancient Emperor Stele indicates you possess great fortune. I believe your methods may also bring some surprises to the Dragon Race, boosting the morale of our Human Emperor Hall."
Having said that, Qian Guiyi waved his hand, signaling to several people nearby:
"You will then follow him and lead men to cooperate with his actions. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" the men replied immediately.
Luo Zhen gazed into the distance and slowly said:
"In that case, this battle against the Dragon Race is something I can look forward to."
Qian Guiyi's words were so clear that he immediately understood the subtext.
It's simply a matter of wanting him to put in some effort, or rather, the other party wants to see how capable they are.
In terms of cultivation level alone, he is indeed still quite far behind the powerful figures of the Great Qian Ancient Kingdom.
But if we consider other aspects...
He is quite confident in himself.
Now that the Great Qian Ancient Kingdom has this intention, and I also share this sentiment, it is naturally a win-win situation, and we can reach a consensus.
As for the outcome, he wasn't worried.
I've already received guidance from my seniors before coming to the Human Emperor Hall. So what if I act a little more flamboyantly?
At worst, I'll just wake up underground again.
-...
Elsewhere, Chu Ping'an gazed at the direction of the White Tiger Clan, which wasn't too far away, and gently shook his head.
"I was originally planning to search thoroughly, but now... it seems I can only do a cursory search."
His original plan was to explore the White Tiger Clan more thoroughly.
After all, the aura they sensed earlier was far from ordinary.
If someone is truly related to the "protagonist," or even is the "protagonist" themselves, then turning them into their "victims" would undoubtedly greatly benefit the improvement of the system's capabilities.
Even if it's not the main character, finding related items or resources is definitely meaningful.
But these are all secondary goals.
He hadn't expected that the Human Emperor Hall would actually head directly to the Dragon Race. Now that he did, he was somewhat inclined to go and see the Dragon Race.
He was interested in and had ideas about all four Sacred Beast Race, but if he really had to rank them in order, the Dragon Race would undoubtedly be the first.
After all, whether it's riding a dragon or being pulled by nine dragons, it's a pretty good thing.
Let's try to balance both aspects as much as possible.
Shaking his head, Chu Ping'an called out to the system:
"System, remember to continue searching for the protagonist's whereabouts."
After saying that, he took out several items for concealing and disguising his aura and put them on.
At this moment, outside the ancestral land of the White Tiger Clan, Bai Po Jingjing gazed at Lu Changzhi, who seemed frozen in time and space, motionless, and couldn't help but think:
"Senior Lu, I wonder how long it will take you to recover from this state. If it continues like this, then what about the Dragon Race..."
He himself had an avatar there, so he naturally knew the movements of the Human Race army and the location of everyone.
At this rate, it won't be long before the Human Race and the Beast Race clash head-on.
"It seems we still need to be prepared."
Bai Po uttered a soft remark, recalling the "Beast God Hall" he had mentioned earlier.
There shouldn't be any problems with Elder Lu's side.
Now may be the perfect time for the Beast God Hall to make its official debut.
The Beast God Hall is comparable to the Human Emperor Hall.
He did not intend to make the Beast God Hall as complicated as the Human Emperor Hall.
The existence of the Beast God Hall is simply to express one attitude:
The four Sacred Beast Race, and indeed all Beast Race, are united.
However, such things cannot be proven by words alone; only facts serve as the best evidence.
Immediately, Bai Po set out to contact the Vermilion Bird Race and the Black Tortoise Race.
As soon as he took out the scales left behind by the Dragon Race, his expression changed, and he instantly disappeared from the spot.
When it reappeared, it was immediately confronted by the Longwang Clan, who had traveled thousands of miles from the Dragon Race.
Where is Elder Lu?
Upon meeting, the Longwang Clan immediately got straight to the point.
"Elder Lu has important matters to attend to at the moment."
Bai Po spoke up, then said:
"You've come all this way, surely it's because your Dragon Race is being targeted by the Human Emperor Hall, right?"
"What else could it be?"
Longwang Clan replied irritably.
"That idiot Long Xiao acted too quickly, which only undermined the deterrent power of my Dragon Race."
He was originally quite curious and had even prepared for the possibility of the Atavism form, intending to have it tested and evaluated.
Unexpectedly, a dragon did it before they could.
As for who did it, it's not hard to guess.
But that's not important. What's important is that with those three Sacred Beast Race standing in their way, the Dragon Race couldn't even leave their names behind, which is really not a good look.
"Otherwise, I'm afraid these Human Race wouldn't have targeted our Dragon Race first."
After finishing speaking, Longwang Clan asked another question:
"How long will Elder Lu wait?"
Bai Po shook his head:
"It will probably take some more time. But I can't say exactly how long."
But then he changed the subject:
"However, since the matter concerning the Human Emperor Hall has occurred within your Dragon Race's territory, it's a good opportunity to have a brief discussion with you."
With that, Bai Po told the Longwang Clan about his idea for the "Beast God Hall".
"I naturally have no objection to that. After all, Elder Lu has already expressed his support."
Longwang Clan responded.
"As long as you three sides don't stand idly by, there won't be any problems."
Bai Po glanced at the Longwang Clan and reminded them, "But this isn't the main point about the Beast God Hall."
"Then what's the key point?" Longwang Clan asked.
"Try to think about it, for whom was the Beast God Hall built? And what was its purpose? Do you have any thoughts on these two questions?"
Longwang Clan looked at Bai Po and immediately said:
"Naturally, it's for Elder Lu! As for what to do? Of course, it's to severely punish the arrogance of the Human Race!"
Bai Po looked at the Longwang Clan and gently shook his head:
"You're still focusing too much on the Human Race; you're getting too attached to appearances."
"Have you considered this question: given Elder Lu's strength and background, does he really need a Beast God Hall? And does he even have the leisure to curb the arrogance of the Human Race?"
Upon hearing this, Longwang Clan was slightly taken aback. "What you say makes sense, but since you've said that, you must already have a plan in mind, right?"
After saying that, he looked at Bai Po, waiting for his reply.
"I do have some ideas."
Bai Po spoke up.
There's a saying among Human Race: "Many parties set the stage, one party performs the show." Perhaps we could learn from that in our situation?
