Chapter 138: Battle of Beasts
After learning that Jiang Nannan had become one of the Shrek Seven Devils and that the academy had reserved a place for him, Xu Xingyu accepted the gift directly without any pretense, as compensation for stealing their ancient golden tree, and as a way to help Shrek in the Soul Master Competition.
As for becoming a member of Poseidon Pavilion or Shrek, Xu Xingyu has no interest in being one of the Shrek Seven Devils for life.
However, when he thought of the ancient golden tree that had always called him dad, Xu Xingyu really didn't know what to do.
Overall, he had no dissatisfaction with the fact that he had directly turned the ancient golden tree into his own exclusive scroll. After all, it was quite rare to have such a magical weapon that could both assist in cultivation and in combat.
But don’t forget that in the previous evil soul master incident, Xu Xingyu had already obtained the pseudo-super artifact, the Blood Stele of Ten Thousand Beasts, which he had made in his previous life. The abilities of that artifact were not only very similar to those of the ancient golden tree, but were even more powerful.
After all, unless the Golden Ancient Tree has a light-attributed or plant-based martial spirit, it cannot purify or evolve blood.
The Blood Monument of Ten Thousand Beasts is a magical artifact that can amplify the blood power of soul masters and soul beasts regardless of race and attributes.
The reason why Xu Xingyu created this artifact was mainly to ease the relationship between the dragon clan and other beasts.
Because the dragon clan had the Dragon God, the most powerful and holy being, the dragon clan at that time relied on their absolute military force without exception to force other beasts to submit to them.
This led to the rest of the races, except for the Juan tribe which had long been tamed by the dragon clan, to hold fear and resentment towards the dragon clan.
As the Star Dragon King, Xu Xingyu understood the so-called holding a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other. Relying solely on strength to suppress the beasts would eventually lead to some hidden dangers in the future.
Therefore, he created the pseudo-super artifact, the Blood Monument of Ten Thousand Beasts, as the so-called carrot. After the appearance of the Blood Monument of Ten Thousand Beasts, there was a competition for the dominance of ten thousand beasts hosted by the dragon clan.
This competition is held every hundred years. Each race can send three outstanding young people to participate. The top ten contestants can be baptized by the Blood Monument of Ten Thousand Beasts, and the race of the contestant who gets first place can become the controller of the Blood Monument of Ten Thousand Beasts for the next fifty years. After fifty years, the Blood Monument of Ten Thousand Beasts must be returned to the dragon clan.
The Dragon Clan will only serve as the host of this competition and will not send their own children, so the ownership of the Blood Monument of Ten Thousand Beasts will not always be monopolized by the Dragon Clan.
What's more, at least in that era, the Blood Monument of Ten Thousand Beasts was an unnecessary existence for the dragon clan, because they had the super artifact, the Ascending Dragon Pillar, which was made by the Dragon God himself.
Originally, the Blood Stele of Ten Thousand Beasts was a divine artifact created by the Starry Dragon Emperor imitating the Rising Dragon Pillar. The difference between the two was that the Rising Dragon Pillar was more powerful and was also used exclusively by the dragon clan.
The Blood Monument of Ten Thousand Beasts is at best a weakened version of the Dragon Pillar that can be used by all races.
Moreover, the dragon clan is not afraid that any other race dares to monopolize the Blood Monument of Ten Thousand Beasts, because the ultimate control over the Blood Monument of Ten Thousand Beasts belongs to the Starry Dragon Emperor.
As long as the Starry Dragon Emperor gives an order, the first thing the Blood Monument of Ten Thousand Beasts will do is to obey the Starry Dragon Emperor and then assist him in destroying all his enemies.
Although many races know about this, they don't care, because the most important thing for a race is its own continuation.
The Blood Monument of Ten Thousand Beasts can ensure that their bloodlines will not dissipate over time as they reproduce from generation to generation.
Therefore, most races accepted this carrot and began to sincerely recognize the dragon clan as their leader.
Only those Behemoths, Titans and Phoenixes who have always been dissatisfied with the Dragon Clan in their hearts have been stubbornly challenging the Dragon Clan and trying to seize their dominant position.
The Phoenix clan is too arrogant, and the Behemoths are outsiders and have no interest in obeying the Dragon clan. Plus, they feed on dragons, so wouldn't it be ridiculous to obey food?
As for the Titans, it was purely because they were a group of brainless races that defended immortality. They did not care at all whether their own race would be destroyed by the dragons, and they just wanted to challenge the other side all at once.
Fortunately, the other races have completely submitted to the Dragon Clan because of the Blood Monument of Ten Thousand Beasts and the Ten Thousand Beasts Contest, otherwise the Dragon Clan would be harassed by these three races every day, which would be very annoying.
However, the Blood Stele of Ten Thousand Beasts was lost during the battle between the Dragon God and the Ten Thousand Beasts, which led to the cancellation of the so-called Ten Thousand Beasts Contest.
However, the Blood Stele of Ten Thousand Beasts has now been obtained by Xu Xingyu. Although it is impossible to hold a battle of ten thousand beasts inside the Qi Ling Tower on a large scale like in ancient times, it is still possible.
After all, since the battle between the Dragon God and the Dragon God, countless powerful bloodlines of ferocious beasts have been completely lost in the long river of time. It is necessary to take this opportunity to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the soul beast clan.
Although the attitude of the gods is better because of Xu Xingyu, if you want to be treated equally, you still have to focus on your own strength.
Xu Xingyu's only hesitation now comes from the soul beasts of races that are at odds with the dragon clan.
Take the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan as an example. As the clan leader, the Bear King has always been dissatisfied with Di Tian’s rule. He obeys Gu Yuena only because the other party is stronger than himself, and he obeys Xu Xingyu because his backer is Gu Yuena.
If he is baptized by the Blood Monument of Ten Thousand Beasts several times, he may be able to stimulate the Behemoth blood in his body, and then transform into a real Behemoth, allowing the Behemoth clan to return to Douluo Continent again.
Will he, a dragon-eating Behemoth, still listen to Gu Yuena and the others? Even if he listens to them, what if he betrays them one day?
You must know that in the battle between the Dragon God and the Behemoths, the Titans chose to fight together with humans against the beasts led by the dragons.
This is not because they sympathize with the human race's situation, but because they want to use this war to remove the dragon clan from the position of leader of the beast clan.
Unfortunately, the Dragon God had already lost his mind because of the death of the Starry Dragon Emperor, which allowed the Behemoths and the Titans to witness the Dragon God's true power. In the end, they were completely exterminated by the Dragon God in that Dragon God War.
Now the only soul beasts with the blood of Behemoth or Titan flowing in their veins are the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, the Snow Demon Titan, the Titan Giant Ape and other species.
Therefore, how to deal with the Blood Monument of Ten Thousand Beasts requires long-term planning. Xu Xingyu plans to find Gu Yuena tomorrow to discuss how to solve this hot issue of the Blood Monument of Ten Thousand Beasts.
It was just right for him to confess the matter to Gu Yuena and others as soon as possible. After all, it is better to suffer the pain sooner rather than later.
Having a daughter who is not related by blood shouldn't be a big deal, right? It should be okay, right?
