Chapter 369: Planning for the Soul Beast Clan
Regarding these plans of Yang Xiong, everyone present was dumbfounded, but no one dared to voice any objection. It seemed he had already arranged everyone and all the armies.
According to Yang Xiong, the entire Douluo Continent would all be gathered together to form the new Douluo Federation.
Various regions within the Douluo Federation would be independently governed, and the governing personnel would be determined by the Douluo Federation Committee, or rather, decided by the true Ministry of Administration.
The entire internal structure of the Douluo Federation would feature a separation of powers into administrative, legislative, and judicial branches. The Grand Commander of the administrative branch would be uniformly responsible. Legislation would be based on the initial laws formulated by Yang Xiong, with everyone jointly deciding and perfecting the laws. The judiciary would be led by Qian Renxue, establishing the Douluo Federation Supreme Court in Spirit City.
The most important point was regarding the control of the entire soul master world. All soul masters must be registered, and there would be specialized Awakening and Education Ministries responsible for the management of soul masters, as well as being responsible for the awakening of martial souls for everyone within the entire Douluo Alliance.
...
In short, according to Yang Xiong's plan, the entire interior of the Douluo Federation would be a unified entity. There would be no phenomenon of evil soul masters running rampant, nor would there be a phenomenon of commoner talents declining.
Of course, regarding the classification of evil soul masters, it primarily included indiscriminately slaughtering others, devouring others to improve cultivation, violating Douluo Federation laws, and so on. In short, everything was based on the law, not based on someone's martial soul attributes.
For example, certain martial souls that looked evil, if they did not violate the law, could survive normally in the soul master world.
Yang Xiong couldn't help but think of Bibi Dong and the Bone Douluo. Bibi Dong's Soul Devouring Spider Emperor and the Bone Douluo's Bone Dragon, actually, these two martial souls could already be considered evil soul masters in a sense. Yet Bibi Dong became the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall, and did so under the circumstances of devouring others. This also indicated the internal problems within Spirit Hall.
...
After everyone had finished viewing these contents, Qian Renxue finally felt a bit confused.
"Yang Xiong, if we follow your plans, your Body Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan probably won't gain any benefits, and their status will still be inferior to my Angel clan."
Yang Xiong shook his head, "I don't care about the inheritance of the Body Sect. For this world, perhaps this is better. Of course, although the Angel clan will continue to exist in the future, it will only be a member of the Douluo Federation, and will not truly possess ruling power."
Qian Renxue sighed, "Perhaps you are right. My Angel clan has shone too brightly over these ten thousand years, and has always considered itself the leader of the soul master world. Perhaps we had long forgotten our original intentions, perhaps we had forgotten the will of the Angel Ancestor God, which is why today's turmoil occurred, causing the soul master world to be filled with storms of blood for decades."
"In the future, our Angel clan will only represent the justice of the soul master world. Perhaps there won't be so many terrible things happening, and a situation like Bibi Dong's won't occur."
...
Compared to Qian Renxue, the Star Luo Emperor seemed to react faster, and was also more accepting of Yang Xiong's arrangements for the entire Douluo Continent.
This couldn't help but make Yang Xiong view the Star Luo Emperor in a higher light. No wonder the Star Luo Empire could decline, but then quickly rise again after declining, and even produce a figure like a cheat-like figure like Huo Yuhao. This mode of screening the throne indeed gave the Star Luo Emperor insight far surpassing others.
As for Empress Xue Ke, she currently had no choices left. The power of the Heaven Dou imperial family was the weakest of all factions. They only controlled a massive army, while the soul masters directly under the royal family had suffered seventy to eighty percent casualties.
Even if she had the heart to oppose, she had no strength left. According to Yang Xiong's plan for the entire country, one could say he had reassumed command of all soul masters. Even Meng Shenji and the others behind Empress Xue Ke were subject to his jurisdiction, not to mention their strength was simply too weak at the scene.
...
After finishing dealing with all human affairs, everyone understood Yang Xiong's plans, and also understood Yang Xiong's resolve in doing all this. If anyone wanted to oppose, Yang Xiong wouldn't mind killing the person himself, and even rooting out the faction behind him completely.
As for the final faction, Tang Xiao, after the incident involving Tang San, he was exceptionally averse to Yang Xiong. But now the Clear Sky Clan couldn't easily defy Yang Xiong's overall decision, much less influence the future direction of the world.
...
Qian Renxue finally spoke, "Yang Xiong, I have no objections to your arrangements for the Douluo Federation, but what exactly do you intend by inviting this Di Tian here?"
Yang Xiong paused, "This is the other major matter for gathering everyone together this time. Although our soul master world has developed well over the years, there are ultimately hidden dangers, and that relates to how we coexist with the soul beast clan."
Qian Renxue said, "There's nothing much to say about this. Soul beasts and soul masters are naturally opposed. We and the soul beast clan will only ever be enemies sooner or later. This isn't something to argue about."
Yang Xiong nodded, "That's indeed true. But have you thought about a problem? Our Douluo Continent has a vast number of soul masters, with a total exceeding a hundred thousand. Although many were lost in this war, the number of soul masters is still in the tens of thousands. Given the development of soul masters, in at most thirty years, the number of soul masters will return to a hundred thousand."
"Based on the demand our soul masters have for soul rings, a soul master needs nine soul rings in their lifetime. Even if the average is only becoming a Spirit Ancestor, a hundred thousand soul masters would need four hundred thousand soul rings, and that's just under normal hunting circumstances."
"Although the soul beast clan is numerous, their growth speed is relatively slow. Especially when we need ten-thousand-year soul rings, the growth speed of a ten-thousand-year soul beast absolutely cannot compare to the cultivation speed of our soul masters. Ultimately, I fear our descendants won't have any more ten-thousand-year soul rings."
"Not to mention the even rarer hundred-thousand-year soul rings. Right now, the Douluo Continent has no hundred-thousand-year soul rings, on one hand because they were hunted, and on the other hand because soul beasts do not have a good growth environment."
Qian Renxue looked stern, "Yang Xiong, I know what you mean. You probably want to manage the soul beast forests like the small soul beast forests we cultivated. On one hand, reducing the harm soul beasts cause to commoners, and on the other hand, reducing soul masters randomly hunting soul beasts. Unfortunately, you're thinking too much. The soul beast forests are simply too large."
Yang Xiong smiled, "There is no such thing as too large or small. I specifically invited Di Tian here this time because I want humanity and the soul beast clan to be truly separated. Between us, it is both an issue of cooperation and restraint."
Ning Fengzhi nearby looked doubtful, "Yang Xiong, I'm afraid we won't get along so easily with the soul beast clan. Moreover, only top-tier soul beasts above ten thousand years have consciousness. Ordinary soul beasts are just like wild beasts; they only know reckless slaughter and destruction."
Yang Xiong turned his head to look at Di Tian, "Di Tian, can you restrain the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest from stepping out of the Star Dou Great Forest and attacking ordinary commoners?"
Di Tian thought for a moment before speaking, "The Star Dou Great Forest doesn't have true boundaries. If people intrude into the Star Dou Great Forest, I cannot completely control it either."
"However, under my restraint, the phenomenon of beast tides can be controlled. This can reduce harm to commoners. As for your soul masters entering the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts and being attacked by soul beasts, I have no way to control that."
Yang Xiong listened to Di Tian's words thoughtfully, then looked at the massive map before him. Immediately after, soul power flashed, and a huge circle directly appeared on the map. This circle enveloped the entire Star Dou Great Forest.
Yang Xiong turned to look at Niu Gao, "Old Rhino, if personnel were arranged to construct a city wall thirty meters high and about twenty meters wide, directly separating the Star Dou Great Forest, would this be feasible?"
Niu Gao originally looked like he was just passing through. Suddenly seeing Yang Xiong seeking him out, he felt quite strange, especially since Yang Xiong's question felt completely baffling to him.
However, Niu Gao thought carefully before speaking, "Sect Master, this requirement you propose is simply too difficult. Even with the hundreds of people in my Defense Clan, even with ample funding, I fear it would take hundreds of years to complete."
"The entire Star Dou Great Forest has a diameter of about one thousand two hundred kilometers. The full surrounding city wall would exceed two thousand five hundred kilometers, not to mention the massive differences in terrain types, and it would easily suffer attacks from soul beasts. Truly building it would probably be even more troublesome."
Yang Xiong merely nodded, "As long as it's determined to be feasible, that's enough. Everything else is not a problem."
Before anyone else could react, the Silver Dragon King's eyes lit up, "Yang Xiong, do you mean to build high walls to separate the entire Star Dou Great Forest from the human world? This way, both sides would not infringe upon each other. Humans wouldn't suffer soul beast attacks, and human soul masters wouldn't randomly hunt my soul beast clan either?"
The crowd finally understood the meaning behind Yang Xiong's words. If this were the case, it could indeed ensure that humanity and the soul beast clan coexisted peacefully, and it could also ensure the normal growth of the soul beast clan, without the phenomenon of large-scale slaughters.
A hint of caution appeared in Qian Renxue's eyes. From beginning to end, she couldn't see through the Silver Dragon King. Even as the Angel God, she could feel an immense threat coming from the Silver Dragon King. This threat was not inferior even to Yang Xiong.
Yang Xiong said, "Exactly so. The Douluo Federation will establish laws that humans cannot arbitrarily hunt soul beasts, especially high-level soul beasts. As for human soul masters, if they want soul rings, the Douluo Federation will regularly organize personnel to go to the soul beast forests."
"At the same time, every year, high-level leaders of the Douluo Federation will be organized to communicate with the leaders of the soul beast clan, resolving conflicts and contradictions between the two sides at the first opportunity."
Everyone present was a soul master, and quickly understood Yang Xiong's purpose for doing this. This way, humanity and the soul beast clan could coexist peacefully, and could even develop rapidly. There wouldn't be the phenomenon of draining the pond to catch all the fish, nor would there be a situation where soul masters lacked high-level soul rings in the future.
Furthermore, if humanity cooperated with Di Tian, Di Tian could also be tasked with assisting in the management of the large and small soul beast forests on the Douluo Continent, reducing the harm of beast tides to commoners. You have to know, the number of commoners who died from beast tides every year was absolutely no less than the casualties of a war.
