Chapter 173: Mom? No, it should be Brother!

"Since Senior Di Tian truly intends to help, in order to show my sincerity, I will now present the initial Soul Spirit Contract to you all. Then, I hope for a pleasant cooperation."

Su Yu knew that there was never a free lunch in this world; since he intended to come to the Star Dou Great Forest, it was impossible to get something for nothing.

Last time, it was thanks to Mu Lao's favor that he was able to obtain Di Tian's guarantee, but since he had received the Soul Beasts' help today, if in the future he could...

…………

Sun Moon Empire, Mingdu.

"What? Xuan Ziwen resigned?" Looking at the letter in his hand, Luo Yu looked at the somewhat bewildered Jing Hongchen.

Jing Hongchen also spoke up: "I don't understand. In this world, besides our Sun Moon Empire, where else could the Soul Guidance Technology compare to ours?"

"Teacher, I don't understand either, why would Teacher Xuan..."

At this moment, Luo Yu had roughly guessed where Xuan Ziwen had gone in his heart. It was estimated that by the time Jing Hongchen received this resignation letter, Xuan Ziwen should have already arrived at the Star Luo Empire.

"Forget it, forget it. How is the situation with Number Two Experimental Subject?" Jing Hongchen did not continue to dwell on the matter of Xuan Ziwen; after all, the most important core technology was all within Mingde Hall. What difference did one more or one less Xuan Ziwen make?

Luo Yu answered truthfully: "Recently, in order to prevent the Body Sect incident from happening again, we have increased the range of underground detection, while simultaneously reinforcing the outer perimeter defense. We have added early warning devices around Number Two Experimental Subject; once it is used without our specific Soul Guidance Identification Device, it will trigger an alarm. We have also equipped the alarm devices with a weapon system."

Hearing Luo Yu's answer, Jing Hongchen nodded very satisfiedly: "It seems I was right to hand Number Two Experimental Subject over to you to be responsible for. You truly did not let Teacher down."

"This is all thanks to Teacher's cultivation. If it weren't for Teacher's appreciation, this disciple would still only be an ordinary student of Mingde Hall to this day," Luo Yu replied respectfully.

"Alright, alright, how is the progress of Number Two Experimental Subject?" Jing Hongchen continued to ask.

"Although the current experimental progress cannot compare to the original Number One Experimental Subject, while conducting the experiment, we discovered some problems that even Number One had not solved back then. As for the specific situation, since I am only a Level 7 Soul Engineer, I cannot explain it in detail. However, I believe our research direction should consider how to solve its mobility problem. According to the experimental data of Number One that I reviewed, although Number One solved the defense problem, it was still unable to function as a War Machine."

Luo Yu organized the information in his mind and analyzed the many problems of Number Two Experimental Subject.

"The drawback of Number One back then was that it could not move freely. I believe our current task should not be to adapt Number Two's attacks, but to allow Number Two to load all weapons and defenses on the basis of being operational. Just like our Number One Experimental Subject last time, although it was inscribed perfectly and could even be called the crystallization of our Sun Moon Empire's thousands of years of Soul Guidance wisdom, we were still unable to use it. From a certain perspective, our research on Number One was also a failure."

Having said this, Luo Yu did not continue. Jing Hongchen himself was a Level 9 Soul Engineer, so he naturally understood what Luo Yu meant.

After listening to Luo Yu's analysis, a trace of fanaticism bloomed in Jing Hongchen's eyes. "Good, very good. I, Jing Hongchen, truly did not misjudge the person. From now on, Number Two Experimental Subject is fully entrusted to your responsibility. You may report matters that occur during the research at your discretion according to the situation. As long as it is not some major event, you can handle it entirely. I will arrange things with His Highness the Crown Prince; you just focus on researching Number Two to the best of your ability."

"In time, if Number Two Experimental Subject can appear on the battlefield, even if there are more Title Douluo from Shrek, they won't even think about stopping our Sun Moon Empire's pace of unifying the continent! Even if we were blocked by Shrek eight thousand years ago, in this era, the Douluo Continent will surely be unified by our Sun Moon Empire, and from then on, the Douluo Continent will also be renamed the Sun Moon Continent!"

"As long as Number Two Experimental Subject can be completely controlled by us in this era, then in the future, our empire will make the Three Great Empires our territory in the shortest possible time, and it will even make our Soul Engineers become more powerful because of our breakthrough in Soul Guidance!"

…………

Luo Yu's gaze swept over the fanatical Jing Hongchen, and he sneered in his heart, "If you fail to master the power to kill a God King, then the Douluo Continent will ultimately still be the Douluo Continent."

The fanatical color in Jing Hongchen's eyes gradually became more intense. At this moment, he was immersed in his beautiful vision of the future, and he had already begun to feel his heart beating violently.

In fact, compared to the Three Great Empires, the Sun Moon Empire's psychological determination to unify the continent was too intense.

Whether it was those ministers or the successive Emperors of the Sun Moon Empire, they all deeply engraved the philosophy of unifying the continent into their souls.

By comparison, the only thing that could match it was Mu Lao, who was still muttering on his deathbed that the Douluo Continent must absolutely not be ruled by an alien race...

In Luo Yu's view, regardless of whether they unify or not, there must be a battle between the Sun Moon Empire and the Three Great Empires that determines the unification of the continent.

If the Three Great Empires win, then what follows will be another long and protracted war, because as long as the Three Great Empires still exist, the Sun Moon Empire will not disappear.

As long as other empires exist on the continent, in the world of Douluo, war can never disappear.

Not for anything else, just because this is...

Douluo Continent!

…………

The Star Dou Great Forest.

"Now, the vast majority of Xue Di's power is compressed into the embryo she formed herself. It is precisely because of this that Xue Di now lacks her previous memories and can only appear in a juvenile form. Now, before we stabilize the seal again, I will first pass the contract for forming a Soul Spirit to Senior Di Tian. I believe the Soul Beasts will not go back on their word."

Su Yu walked in front of Di Tian, copied all the parts of the Soul Spirit contract in his mind, condensed them into a ball of light, and handed it to Di Tian.

"If I find a power to replace Soul Rings in the future, I will also teach it to the Soul Beasts. I, Su Yu, keep my word!"

Taking the ball of light, Di Tian stored it into his own Spirit Sea. He was not worried at all that Su Yu would play any tricks, because in the face of absolute strength, any scheme was so pale and powerless.

"As a Soul Beast, I, Di Tian, guarantee to you that as long as you, Su Yu, do not actively slaughter the Soul Beasts of our Star Dou Great Forest, our Star Dou Great Forest will always welcome you."

When these words of Di Tian were spoken, the many Beasts present knew one thing: everything Su Yu said was true!

Di Tian would never compromise with humans, let alone actively show goodwill to humans!

However, Su Yu's appearance proved one thing: this human was not lying. He actually really had the ability to save the Soul Beasts from the crisis of near extinction.

And he could also solve the problem of human Soul Masters' need for Soul Rings at the root!

When Di Tian passed down Su Yu's Soul Spirit method, looks of shock appeared in the eyes of the many Beasts.

It was true; there really was such a method that could stop humans from killing Soul Beasts!

Since this could be realized, then what this human said about being able to find a power to replace Soul Rings was not impossible either!

This thought did not just appear in Bi Ji's mind; when they looked at each other, they all discovered the same shock in each other's eyes!

Just when Su Yu felt his scalp tingle from being watched by the many Beasts, Xiong Jun suddenly stood up, bent his massive body and lowered his head toward Su Yu, followed by Wan Yao Wang, Chi Wang, and that purple-haired Hell Dragon King, then Bi Ji, and finally Wang Qiu Er...

"I, Xiong Jun!"

"I, Wan Yao Wang!"

"I, Chi Wang!"

"I, Hell Dragon King!"

"I, Bi Ji!"

"I, the Imperial Auspicious Beast!"

"…………"

"Hereby represent all the Soul Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest. Everything you have done today will be remembered by all Soul Beasts. In the future, if you need our help, just come to the Star Dou Great Forest to find us!"

Seeing the many Beasts thanking him in unison, Su Yu was startled and hurriedly said, "Then let's start solving my problem. Su Yu is troubling you all again."

As Su Yu released the seal on Xue Di under the gaze of many.

The moment the seal on Xue Di was broken by her own powerful strength, a noble figure bathed in ice and snow slowly emerged above the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Long time no see, Xue Di," Di Tian said, looking at Xue Di.

"You are Di Tian, and this is the Star Dou Great Forest; could it be that Su Yu has already..."

When Xue Di saw the Beasts sitting on the ground and surrounding Su Yu, she subconsciously assumed that Su Yu had already been finished off by the Beasts.

Su Yu smiled and said, "Xue Di, do you wish for me to die that much? Don't forget, if I die, your spiritual consciousness will also dissipate and you will die."

"It seems Su Yu really wasn't lying; Xue Di has truly merged into one with him. I am becoming more and more interested in Su Yu now. Chi Wang, do you think this kid will live in the Star Dou Great Forest in the future?" Just as Xue Di and Di Tian were talking, Wan Yao Wang asked Chi Wang.

"That's hard to say. After all, human greed is endless. With such a miraculous thing on this kid, it's impossible for humans not to grow greedy. Although I hate humans, this one called Su Yu is different from those despicable humans." In Chi Wang's mind, the period when Su Yu was under house arrest by Di Tian couldn't help but surface.

Humans, hahaha...

Humans are truly a strange race.

"I say, don't just keep chatting. If you keep talking, once Xue Di's spiritual consciousness starts to collapse, both Xue Di and I will be finished. Are you even listening to me..."

"Alright, alright, let's begin." Di Tian stopped talking to Xue Di and fixed his gaze on Su Yu.

"Since that's the case, then please let my teacher come out."

Su Yu waved his hand, and the illusory figure of Yi Lao slowly walked out from the third eye in the center of Su Yu's forehead.

Seeing Yi Lao appear, Di Tian was not surprised: "What should we do next?"

"Since I have your help, things are very simple. You only need to channel your Spirit Power into the Snow Lady, and follow my guidance to control the delivery of the Spirit Power," Yi Lao said calmly.

Such a light and breezy tone made many Beasts feel a bit suspicious: is this matter really that simple?

Actually, if it were only Su Yu, Xue Di, and Yi Lao, it is estimated that if Yi Lao didn't sacrifice himself, they would all have to go see the King of Hell.

But it is different now; with Di Tian and a bunch of Beasts helping, there is absolutely no need to worry about the power going out of control and being unable to suppress it.

If they really couldn't suppress it, these Beasts shouldn't be called Beasts anymore; they might as well just find a piece of tofu and smash their heads against it.

The sealing process was not as intense or exciting as Su Yu had imagined; the only thing present was the Snow Lady's grumbling before she fell asleep.

"After I wake up next time, I will definitely not let that despicable human from before off!"

Just like that, Xue Di's hidden danger was completely resolved, and he had logically played the role of a gambler betting his life for once.

Although Su Yu's strength might not be that powerful, what Su Yu did was completely stuck on Di Tian's lifeline. Other Soul Beasts might not have a deep feeling about what Su Yu did, but Di Tian absolutely knew the importance of Su Yu doing this for the Soul Beasts.

Su Yu's gamble stood at an absolute position that Di Tian could not refuse; even if Di Tian did not want to accept this unequal gamble, he had no choice but to accept it.

Because he is the Beast God, the last pure-blooded Dragon Clan among the younger generation of the Dragon Clan, and the guardian of the Soul Beasts!

When the seal on Xue Di was completely finished, the reappearing young Xue Di was actually able to speak.

"Daddy, daddy..."

Saying this, she flew onto Su Yu's shoulder and pinched Su Yu's cheeks desperately.

"I am not your daddy..." Su Yu's face turned black; right now, he only felt that his previously majestic image had been ruined to shreds by Xue Di at this moment...

"Hahahaha, to dare to let Xue Di call you daddy, you, Su Yu, are the first throughout history, hahahaha..."

It was unknown which Beast said this, but the originally serious scene instantly exploded; those Beasts who represented strength and terror in the hearts of humans were now laughing their heads off without any regard for their image.

"Call me big brother, I am not your daddy!"

Looking at Xue Di's extremely cute appearance, Su Yu really couldn't bring himself to be angry and could only correct her seriously.

Just when many Beasts thought that the young Xue Di would be obedient, the next sentence made everyone's eyes drop to the floor.

"Mommy!"

Mommy? No, it should be big brother!

I don't want to be a mommy!

Pfft...

"Hahahaha, Su Yu, you didn't just obtain a Soul Spirit, you basically picked up a daughter for free, hahahaha..."

Wang Qiu Er could no longer hold it in; she clutched her stomach and leaned on Chi Wang, unable to straighten her back from laughing.

"Stop laughing, stop laughing, what is there to laugh about..." Su Yu protested with dissatisfaction.
