Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 1001 Di Tian's Confusion

"Goodbye."

Zhou Qing, Romantina, Tang San, and Di Tian bid farewell to Di Tian and the others, and then headed towards Holy Soul Village.

Xiao Wu, who was left behind, stretched and asked Di Tian, ​​who was watching Zhou Qing and the others leave, "Why don't we just merge the Myriad Beasts Alliance into the Crimson Society?"

"No."

Although Di Tian understood that only by truly joining the Crimson Society could they truly receive hands-on guidance from Zhou Qing and others and build their own internal systems, he was a Beast God, representing the interests of the Soul Beasts... and at least he had to consider the thoughts of his "master".

If Zhou Qing were to directly help him break through to the god-level, then abandoning his respect for his master and choosing betrayal—no, it should be said that he would choose to surrender—

It's not impossible.

After all, the establishment of the Beast Alliance with Xiao Wu's help was already a compromise for Di Tian to some extent.

"Let's take it slow then."

After saying that, Xiao Wu joked with Di Tian, ​​"I just hope that when your master comes out of the lake, he won't destroy the order that we've worked so hard to establish."

"No... probably not."

Di Tian was somewhat uncertain.

The Silver Dragon King is the embodiment of half of the Dragon God's body after his fall. He inherited the Dragon God's creative divine nature and benevolence. If he were to revive one day and see that the conflict between humans and soul beasts had eased, theoretically he would not destroy this hard-won harmony.

But she is ultimately a part of the Dragon God, and she must hate those guys in the God Realm to the core. After witnessing the creativity of humans, it is not impossible that she might choose to conquer humans, use them for her own purposes, and then launch an attack on the God Realm, so as to restore herself to her wholeness and achieve a new position as the Dragon God.

Back then!

Which side should I stand on?
Right now, I would definitely side with the Lord, but in the future—

Di Tian was somewhat confused.

After all, over the past few years, under Xiao Wu's guidance, he has gradually come to understand the diversity and complexity of humanity. Humans cannot be defined by the words "good" and "evil." The vast majority of humans are somewhere in between, neither good nor evil, but rather... chaos.

The development of the human world is a process of gradually abandoning the rule of the survival of the fittest and pursuing a stable and harmonious order amidst the chaos of good and evil.

Wasn't the Dragon God of the past the same?
Therefore, Di Tian was unsure which side he would stand on if the possibility he envisioned actually occurred in the future.

Choose the Lord?

Or should we choose humanity...choose [humanity]?
uncertain.

When this answer came to mind, Di Tian had already made his choice: he was inclined to choose [human]!
Struggle against humanity?
Di Tian has lived for countless years and witnessed many battles between powerful soul beast clans. His heart has grown cold, and perhaps only the resurrection of the Dragon God can stir his bloodline.

but!

After learning about Zhou Qing's definition of "human" and having actually lived in the human world for a period of time, Di Tian found that his heart had been touched.

The emotional impact is far more profound and lasting than the physical shock.

As Lu Qibin's story reveals:感动 (a feeling of being moved/touched) is passed down, not through blood ties, but through the heart...

"should?"

Xiao Wu chuckled, "Looks like that Silver Dragon King isn't all that great after all. Oh well, I can't be bothered with him. I bet by the time she wakes up, the world will have already developed to a point she can't comprehend."

Di Tian's eyes darkened.

Regardless, the Silver Dragon King is the ruler of all soul beasts; how could he say such a thing? However, Xiao Wu's casual remark gave Di Tian a reason to justify his actions:
I am still the Lord's servant, and everything I do now is for the purpose of understanding human behavior, human thought, human development, and humankind itself!
Human development is too fast. In order to ensure that the Lord will not be unable to adapt when he comes out, I must learn from humans!

All of this is for the Lord!

Whether human or spirit beast, as long as they possess intelligence and emotions, even if they are doing something against their conscience, they can accept it with a relatively at ease as long as they find a suitable reason.

Even the Emperor of Heaven is not immune to worldly affairs.

"Does the Crimson Society want to take control of Star Dou Town? We can help," Di Tian said, bringing up the matter.

"Star Town really needs a real administrator."

Xiao Wu did not deny it.

Unlike ordinary towns, towns built outside of the Soul Beast Forest do not have a mayor. Towns built near Soul Beast Forests, such as the Star Dou Great Forest, which have not been fully explored by humans, do not even have Spirit Hall patrol knights.

The residents of these towns are all Soul Masters, and no one dares to bully the weak. Everyone has martial arts skills, which has achieved a strange balance and formed an order similar to that in a city, but it is a bit unstable.

Compared to cities, the main drawback of these towns is their poor security.

Soul Masters can fight directly in the streets, or even kill people in the street.

Therefore, people in Star Town are extremely wary of each other. Only when they are in a business like Seven Treasures Pavilion, which is run by a powerful organization, will their wariness decrease.

The managers of these industries can also be considered the decision-makers of Xingdou Town.

but--

"Let's bring this up again after the Red Society has trained suitable personnel and sent them here."

Xiao Wu changed the subject, "Now the Red Society branch has recruited many local Soul Masters, and with the cooperation of the Seven Treasures Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance, the order in Star Dou Town is constantly improving. Most Soul Masters trust our Red Society, the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance, and the Seven Treasures Pavilion established by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School."

Just take your time.

If we were to suppress them directly with force without any reason, it would only make people uneasy... At least, in Star Town, our Crimson Society cannot take the initiative to attack.”

"The intricacies of human relationships are really troublesome!"

Purple Princess's rant.

"Really? I think soul beasts are too naive."

Xiao Wu retorted, feeling that these ferocious beasts really needed to be educated, otherwise they might be easily scammed by other forces and even help them count their money...

···
As time went by, with only one month left until the Continental Elite Tournament, the fourteen members of the Notting team drove out of the city with the dean, amidst a send-off from Notting Academy.

Xiao Lan and Wang Sheng from the Red Society led seventy-two outstanding students selected from Hope Primary Schools to follow the Notting team, just as Zhou Qing had led thirty-six students, including Xiao Lan, to witness the differences between Holy Soul Village, Notting City and other cities.

Of course, this does not mean that Hope Primary School has only produced these 72 outstanding students in the past five years. Since the establishment of Hope Primary School, there have been students of all ages, and students graduate every year, either to study at Notting College or to join the Workers' and Peasants' Council or the Red Cross Society to work.

Zhou Qing, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Romantina also went there in person—the location for the finals of this Continental Elite Tournament has been confirmed as Wuhun City.

They were eager to see the next city filled with Soul Masters!

And what about their respective responsibilities?
It involves using Zhou Qing's spiritual sphere to evolve a corresponding appearance, and Romantina's abilities to connect with consciousness, creating an external body, remaining at the post, multitasking, and having the ability to be in two places at once.
