Chapter 286 The Spirit Beast City You Didn't Know (5800, End of the Beast God Realm Story!)

The Qilin, a divine beast, a benevolent and auspicious creature, is born of spiritual energy and is the ancestor of all beasts.

It is one of the four spirits alongside the Dragon, Phoenix, and Turtle.

And the Water Qilin, as the name suggests, is a Qilin that holds the power to control water—although most Qilin possess the virtue of earth, this does not prevent the existence of subspecies such as Fire Qilin and Thunder Qilin. Coincidentally, in this generation of the Qilin race, the most powerful is the Water Qilin lineage.

The Water Qilin named An Tuo, although the king of divine beasts, had been dealing with internal strife in the clan because of being backstabbed by his own disciple, and therefore did not participate in the operation to besiege the Zheng Guo Action Team with the other divine beast kings.

Of course, even if invited, the Water Qilin might not have gone—as benevolent beasts, the Qilin race has always been gentle and dislikes conflict (internal strife is a cultural tradition). They are born to feed on spiritual energy, meaning pure spiritual qi and spiritual power.

These creatures are completely independent of all existing ecological and food chains. Not to mention attacking strangers from other worlds, as long as they don't block their path or show hostility, Qilin will even act as if all other spirit beasts don't exist, living their own lives.

There were even some production species living among the Mao race (hairy race) who would frequently and devoutly follow behind the Qilin Lord, collecting the Qilin's hair to weave into amulets. Even this behavior, which would absolutely lead to being eaten in other territories, the Qilin never took to heart, at most complaining, 'What do they want that stuff for?'

It was precisely because of this that, after learning of its desire to communicate with the human side, the nations of Earth held an emergency meeting and decided to welcome it with goodwill at a national level.

"There is no need to push the entire Beast God Realm into the enemy's camp. We have largely occupied the territories of the Feather race (avian race) by relying on the Golden-Winged Bird, Chongming Bird, and other bloodlines. If we can reach a non-interference agreement with the Mao race, then pacifying the chaos of the Beast God Realm should be a matter of time.”

Speaking these words was the Military Sage. This one-eyed elder, nearly eighty years old, was very clear about the strength comparison between the Earth side and the Beast God Realm.

Although the number of extraordinary divine beasts in the Beast God Realm was not small, even quite large, their system was too backward to integrate the power of their civilization to compete with the Earth side.

Moreover, the technological gap alone was enough for any major Earth nation to comprehensively crush the Beast God Realm in terms of intelligence, information, and magical equipment.

However, no matter how simple the war, war is still war.

In today's rapidly developing era of spiritual energy recovery, there is no need to slow down one's own pace to fight a full-scale war with an enemy that is destined to lose to you… What's the point?

"Therefore, the keynote of this meeting must be peace, friendship, and sincerity."

Finally, the Dao Sage concluded for the Military Sage.

Then, everyone in the conference hall turned to look at Su Zhou, who was shrinking in the back, secretly playing with his phone.

"I'm just looking at replies… Wait, why are you looking at me?"

Thinking that his playing with his phone during the meeting had been discovered, Su Zhou was momentarily stunned and subconsciously closed the forum.

When he noticed that the eyes of cultivators from all over the world were focused on him, the young man also realized the reason why everyone was staring at him.

—So my existence represents violence, malice, and threat?

Because Su Zhou's thoughts were so obvious, Bai Canglang, who could see the thoughts on his face, coughed. He said seriously, "Professor Su, the main reason is that you have already killed four divine beast kings before. We are a little worried that you will want to kill the Mao race king as well, to complete the full house of five race beast kings."

—If you hadn't said it, I really wouldn't have remembered this achievement. Brother Bai, are you trying to remind me to take action as soon as possible?

Tsking, Su Zhou knocked on the table rather unhappily and said to Bai Canglang, "Do I look like such a reckless person? As long as that Qilin is really as gentle and kind as the legends say, would I go looking for trouble with it for no reason?"

"Then you should eat your fill…"

Compared to the slight worries in the hearts of others, the Dao Sage was not worried that Su Zhou would cause any trouble to this meeting—as a Su Zhou scholar of at least professional level three, he had long analyzed through Su Zhou's various micro-expressions and past action data that the reason why Su Zhou wanted to kill those divine beasts was because their behavior of cruelly killing innocent sentient life, and the order of the entire Beast God Realm, disgusted him.

Not to mention that the Qilin, as a benevolent beast, is a gentle divine beast race that almost never kills. The other major races of the Mao race, such as the 'Listening Elephant' and 'Heavenly Ox', and even some powerful wild boar divine beasts, mostly prefer spiritual plants to flesh.

Even, there is a rather prosperous wild iron-eating beast group in the Mao race, occupying a bamboo forest on a mountain. This divine beast race has already privately contacted the iron-eating beast cultivators related to Zheng Guo, and they are also very interested in the various conditions offered by Zheng Guo.

In general, although there are a large number of carnivorous divine beasts within the Mao race, because of the existence of Qilin and other various powerful vegetarian divine beast groups, there is rarely a bloody and brutal atmosphere in other races within the Mao race's ruling range. Even the carnivorous divine beasts are the ones who abide by the teachings of the ancestor most strictly, that is, they rarely devour sentient beings with souls.

As for the servant species and offering species… that is the foundation of the Beast God Realm, and it is impossible to avoid their existence.

Therefore, the Dao Sage believes that even Su Zhou, who has a complex and sensitive personality, will not attack the Qilin.

And the facts proved that this was indeed the case.

When Su Zhou stood in the front row, welcoming the shimmering Water Qilin, which seemed to be completely condensed from water-attribute spiritual power, even with his supernatural power of the Demon Lord who devours evil, he could only see a curse equivalent to spitting chewing gum on the ground.

In the Beast God Realm, such a curse is no less than that of a saint!

Therefore, the cultivators of various nations, who had been afraid that Su Zhou would suddenly explode and twist off the other party's head with a slap, unexpectedly saw Su Zhou with a smile from the bottom of his heart, his face harmonious and friendly.

"I didn't expect there to be some good beasts in the Beast God Realm." Thinking this, Su Zhou was truly happy from the bottom of his heart: "Even if they are only relatively good beasts, it's still quite good."

—What does that expression mean?

And such an abnormal Su Zhou made everyone even more frightened.

As for the Beast God Realm side that came to visit, they did not know the undercurrents in the hearts of the Earth side.

The visit of the Mao race king, the Water Qilin An Tuo, was actually a rather reluctant matter for it personally.

According to the Qilin's personality, as long as the enemy does not attack their doorstep, they have always maintained absolute neutrality, living their own leisurely lives, let alone actively visiting other forces.

After all, it does not eat other creatures, does not participate in ecological reincarnation, and as long as there is spiritual energy, it does not rely on any other environment. Close to water, it is a Water Qilin; close to a volcano, it is a Fire Qilin; in cloudy high mountains, it is a Thunder Qilin; it is not picky and is extremely adaptable to the environment.

However, with the kings of the other four races having already been beaten into meat patties by someone, whether it, the Mao race king, acts as a shrinking turtle or actively delivers itself to the door, the result would probably be the same when facing that strange giant dragon.

"Since that's the case, it's better to take the initiative to visit, express goodwill, and see what exactly these descendants of immortals and gods want to do."

With this in mind, An Tuo came to the inter-world portal fortress with a rather tragic mentality: "At worst, I'll die. It's just a pity that I haven't caught that traitorous disciple yet. Otherwise, I would definitely grab it and die together!"

Then, the tragic An Tuo received an unexpected courtesy.

In the spacious conference hall, the Mao race king was treated with good tea, good water, and good spiritual plants. After exchanging greetings and pleasantries with many human cultivator leaders for a while, it was still unclear why the human side was treating it with such different treatment.

But even a Buddhist divine beast with a political ability of about zero, An Tuo also understood that the reason why the Earth forces, as the advantageous side, treated it with such an equal attitude was because there would definitely be something later that required it to exert great effort.

"Descendants of the Immortal Realm… although I don't know if you still acknowledge this identity."

Therefore, the Water Qilin gave up all roundabout ideas. Using the method of transformation, it transformed into a blue-haired woman with double horns on her head and wearing a classical immortal robe. An Tuo said bluntly: "In short, you and your ancestors have once again achieved victory in our world… For the sake of my race, I will never violate your instructions that are not too excessive."

"So, please don't be so tactful. As the stronger side, if there is anything you need me to do, just give the order."

—Oh, it's actually a mother Qilin? But it's not surprising. After all, the point that the mother beast is stronger is not uncommon in the biological world. Moreover, for divine beasts, reversing gender is just a matter of thought.

Because he had never asked about An Tuo's gender before, even Su Zhou, who was a member of the negotiating party, was quite surprised, but that was all.

As for An Tuo's meaning, the leading Dao Sage naturally understood that it was best to be direct when communicating with these divine beasts.

Therefore, he didn't say much nonsense, and directly summoned a holographic projection to show the Earth side's plan to this one remaining beast king of the Beast God Realm's five races.

It was the projection of a magnificent and huge city.

With the original main city of the Feather race as the core, the Earth side would 'cooperate' with the divine beasts and spirit beasts of other races—of course, the term 'command' could also be used.

In short, humans were going to build a huge city that encompassed almost all races of the Beast God Realm, and it would be the transit port for communication between humans and the Beast God Realm.

Of course, this city could also be regarded as a huge genetic database of divine beasts and spirit beasts of the Beast God Realm.

The divine beasts and spirit beasts residing in it would need to cooperate with the human side in a series of related research. The human side would pay remuneration and could guarantee that the spirit beasts and divine beasts of the Beast God Realm would not encounter life-threatening dangers because of this. If it was research that was harmful to the body, the human side would also provide corresponding compensation.

Similarly, if there was no necessary reason, the spirit beasts residing in it would also have to cooperate with the experiment.

Naturally, there was no hierarchy in this city—the laws of humans were enforced there, and the education received was also human writing and human culture… In other words, all life from the Beast God Realm that entered that city would be subjected to the 'enlightenment' of the Earth side.

There, carnivorous spirit beasts could not arbitrarily hunt other spirit beasts for food. If they wanted to eat, they would have to learn animal husbandry to raise them themselves. Herbivorous spirit beasts would also have to learn to plant related spiritual plants themselves. They would learn the human way of life from every detail.

"Voluntary."

Saying this, at the table, the Dao Sage smiled and crossed his fingers, saying kindly to An Tuo: "We have completely controlled the Feather race. The Scale race (reptilian race) and the Insect race are not a big problem either. We have our own powerful Dao cultivators who can lead these races."

"And we humans ourselves are members of the Winnower race (naked race), so they probably won't resist our control too much."

Since that was the case, only the Mao race was left, and the Mao race happened to be the race that had not had direct conflicts with humans.

Even if it was just to make a show, to show that the human side was not an uncooperative absolute enemy, to arouse the full resistance of all the divine beasts and spirit beasts of the Beast God Realm, the Water Qilin An Tuo was absolutely safe, and the humans would not attack it.

But similarly, to obtain such privileges, the Mao race, the Qilin, could not resist.

"So, we hope that the Mao race, and even your Qilin race, will voluntarily divide a part of their clansmen, preferably young ones who have not been too influenced by the environment, to reside in our city. At best, you should gradually abandon the 'five-level class system' and cooperate with our policies. You know, these conditions are already very generous for the defeated side."

In the holographic projection, various images and schematic diagrams appeared, such as the various structural details of that huge city, and the detailed internal rules… One professional after another explained the connotation and deep meaning to An Tuo.

An Tuo even saw the spiritual pool specially designed for the Water Qilin race—it was a spiritual pool filled with spiritual spring water created based on a huge three-layer spirit gathering array. The effect of this spiritual pool was close to a man-made blessed land, and cultivation in it would greatly benefit the Water Qilin race.

And similar facilities, the Water Qilin could see more than thirty… This was only the area that it casually swept over. Who knew how long it would take for humans to build this huge city, and the spirit beasts living in it, even if only for the sake of these spirit gathering blessed lands, would probably never want to return to their own barren family clan.

But the most important thing was not these… An Tuo stared at the first article of the rules of the giant city that was still unnamed and only existed in the plan.

Rule, the first: All spirit beasts are equal in terms of beastly dignity.

"Forcibly making powerful divine beasts equal to weak spirit beasts…"

Seeing this rule, even the gentle Qilin, knowing that it had no right to change this rule, still subconsciously wanted to refute it. It said hesitantly, "This is not right… It's completely contrary to our ethics and our customs. It's really too strange…"

"No, this is almost impossible to achieve—divine beasts are naturally stronger than spirit beasts. How can beasts be equal! Even you humans, I don't believe that those with good cultivation talent and those with poor cultivation talent are equal!"

"You're right, Ms. An Tuo."

Facing the somewhat excited, frowning Water Qilin, the Dao Sage stepped aside, and Su Zhou, who was already prepared, stepped forward to meet her.

The moment he appeared, the extremely strong bloody aura that was sensitive to the Qilin's spiritual sense, and the terrifying spiritual pressure of an unknown dragon race, hit her head-on, causing An Tuo to know in a slight moment of suffocation.

This person was the terrifying murderer who had beheaded four beast kings of the Beast God Realm in a row!

At this time, Su Zhou naturally did not care about An Tuo's slightly fearful and vigilant expression. He was only responsible for communicating with the Qilin when the meeting situation was not smooth, and persuading her to change her mind as a peaceful negotiator.

—At least that's what the Dao Sage said when he arranged the task for him, and Su Zhou believed it.

Therefore, Su Zhou said to the Qilin: "We established this city precisely to solve the problem you raised."

"You want to use us as experimental subjects, a large-scale social experiment? To find out the feasibility of 'equality'?"

There are no overly stupid individuals among divine beasts. At least they are fully qualified in terms of IQ. An Tuo understood what Su Zhou wanted to express in an instant. Her voice couldn't help but raise a little: "Humans, do you mean to say that you want to use the lives and lives of many divine beasts and spirit beasts in our Beast God Realm to conduct your pre-tests?"

"Not only that, but you also hope that the juvenile individuals of all spirit beasts and divine beasts in the Beast God Realm will live in this city, and they must cooperate with your experiments… In this way, all the races of the Beast God Realm have no secrets to you! All the secret techniques and supernatural powers of all races are simply open to you… Moreover, when they fully accept your education, they are no longer spirit beasts and divine beasts, but 'people', right?"

—Although it seems gentle, in fact, this is a method that is no different from the enlightenment of the immortals and gods of the past, and even more of a soft knife!

"That's right, enriching our information reserves, that's our purpose."

Su Zhou, who was supervised by the Sages and never felt that pursuing knowledge and information was wrong, replied calmly: "Of course, it's not just that—we also hope that the divine beasts and spirit beasts living in this city can abandon the original five-level class system and become…"

"This has nothing to do with the morality and equality you want to promote."

"That's right, madam, I'm glad you understand this."

Su Zhou smiled at the Water Qilin's ridicule. He didn't care at all: "It's just that today, we have a lot of things to talk about, such as the establishment of a brand new code of conduct for the Beast God Realm, the reshaping of the moral values of the Beast God Realm—and how to save the remaining 7.119 billion lives in the Beast God Realm from the hell of the 'five-level class system'."

"But it's definitely not morality, equality, or right or wrong."

"I'm sorry, madam, these things are meaningless to us, or rather, to all life in the two worlds."

With absolute momentum, suppressing the Water Qilin, with his back to the high-level cultivators from all over the world representing the 'human' side, Su Zhou handed a plan in front of him to An Tuo.

He smiled as he watched the other party take the plan with difficulty, and said calmly: "We haven't named this city yet. You can call it Peace City, or Academy City, Crazy Spirit Beast City, or even BeststArs… You can even call it Qilin City, we don't care about this, it's all up to you."

"However, the Mao race king, Qilin An Tuo, must build it—in the name of the last clan leader of the former five clans of the Beast God Realm, you must cooperate with us and represent the 'past Beast God Realm' to build it."

An Tuo was silent for a long time.

And the human side also waited patiently for a long time.

Finally, An Tuo, the Qilin lady who had transformed into a human form with blue horns, sighed and then stretched out her hand, leaving her mark on the plan with spiritual power.

"Let's do it this way." She smiled bitterly with some exhaustion: "Although I'm a little sorry for the ancestor's hard work in always wanting independence, but… it's indeed been too long. The Beast God Realm may really need to usher in some changes."

At the moment when An Tuo 'signed',

Su Zhou's soul space suddenly shook slightly.

A small grain of wheat suddenly bloomed with infinite brilliance. The infinite power of wishes from the distant other side, as if a small opening had cracked, began to pour into it frantically.

Although it was only a beginning, only a start.

However, the seed of change had been sown, and the fate of a world had deviated from its original trajectory.

—The order of the Beast God Realm had been subverted!

Therefore, the true soul was achieved!

The red serpent spirit watched this scene with pleasure in the soul space. It noticed Su Zhou's surprise and joy, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Subverting the order of a civilization, a world… Although it's only the most basic change, and it also relies on the power of the entire human civilization, this is the first sacrifice and the first interesting thing since part of myself escaped."

The serpent spirit smiled happily, coiling its tail, turning it into a shape like a circle… It hadn't even been so happy when it saw other sealed great existences back then.

Then, Yala, the serpent spirit of chaos, slightly closed its eyes.

"Where can you go? Su Zhou…"

"Perhaps, you can really do it…"

Yesterday was the winter solstice, so I went to worship the ancestors and burn paper money. I also had writer's block for a long time, but I finally finished the ending… Of course, there's still half of this volume left.

It's a new month, please give me recommendation tickets~
