"Please speak."
Li Yu raised an eyebrow and gestured for them to continue.
At this moment, it wasn't the right time to fight Di Tian directly.
After all, he was a "half-god" level existence. If they were to battle, he would have to go all out.
This meant he wouldn't be able to protect everyone properly.
It was important to note that the people present weren't just soul masters—there were ordinary civilians in Heaven Dou City as well, and their numbers exceeded a million!
Even if it were just a battle between Title Douluos, the collateral damage to civilians would be immense.
"The first matter: I heard that Miss Li Yu is about to marry, and naturally, I am here to congratulate you on behalf of the soul beast clan," Di Tian said with a smile, speaking very seriously. He then looked at Li Yu and 'Xue Qinghe,' saying, "I, Di Tian, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, on behalf of the soul beast clan, wish the two of you a lifetime of togetherness and may you grow old together."
After delivering his congratulations with the same formulaic words, Di Tian flicked his finger toward Li Yu, sending a beam of green light.
Everyone's expression changed, and their auras shifted slightly.
But Li Yu merely raised an eyebrow, extended his hand to catch the green light, and saw a green orb land in his palm.
The orb was filled with energy, but Li Yu couldn't immediately identify what kind of treasure it was.
"It contains some water from the Lake of Life. It's not something particularly precious, but it's still quite rare," Di Tian openly explained.
"Thank you, Lord Di Tian. I like it very much," Li Yu said, placing the orb into his domain space.
The so-called water from the Lake of Life was naturally not the same water from the Lake of Life where the Sky Azure Bull Python lived—it didn't have such intense energy.
Clearly, the Lake of Life had its own secrets.
But Di Tian wasn't going to share those secrets, so Li Yu didn't ask.
"What is the second matter?" Li Yu asked proactively.
"The second matter…" Di Tian paused for a moment before saying, "We simply want to know what your attitude is toward our soul beast clan."
Before setting out, Di Tian mindset had been different.
Because they had fought before, he knew Li Yu was strong, but he wasn't his match.
Back then, Li Yu had just reached the level of an Eight-ring Spirit Douluo.
Even so, back then, Li Yu already had the strength comparable to Bear Lord and other "humans."
Now, seeing him again, even Di Tian could feel the threat from Li Yu.
Clearly, Li Yu had experienced another leap in strength after advancing to Title Douluo.
He couldn't even imagine what kind of strength Li Yu would have the next time they met, given his rapid progression.
As for killing Li Yu?
Even if it was possible now, back then, had it not been for being trapped in the Star Dou Sealing Space, Li Yu probably would have been able to escape.
Not to mention now.
This is why Di Tian had made this "compromise."
Of course, he himself was also interested in this question.
After all, according to the information gathered, that little rabbit was now under Li Yu control.
And it seemed like it had been this way for quite a while.
But Li Yu had never harmed the little rabbit, not even when he advanced to a higher realm. Even now, he had no such intention.
Therefore, Li Yu attitude toward the soul beasts didn't seem to be so… absolute.
When Di Tian posed this question, everyone's gaze turned toward Li Yu.
They thought the question was somewhat… laughable.
Not to mention that humans and soul beasts were historically enemies, but looking at the soul rings on Li Yu…
Wait…
Everyone froze for a moment.
Li Yu soul rings!
The terrifying and even unconventional colors of his soul rings were evident.
It could be concluded that they were at least from soul beasts that had existed for hundreds of thousands of years.
But...
Had so many hundred-thousand-year soul beasts been killed by Li Yu?
The one who felt this the most was Bibi Dong herself.
To obtain a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, she had put in countless efforts, and the number of failures she had was too many to count.
But how did Li Yu do it?
Bibi Dong didn't understand, especially since, in the "Asura God" inheritance test, there was clearly no reward for soul rings based on their years…
In comparison, Qian Daoliu remained much calmer.
As for Li Yu, he naturally had no obligation to explain anything to the others.
He could easily understand why Di Tian asked this question.
Since he was able to find his way here and even appeared at his wedding, it was clear that Di Tian had conducted a thorough investigation of him.
Given Di Tian control over the Star Dou Sealing Space, finding the little rabbit near him wouldn't have been difficult.
Thus, the question was understandable.
At the same time, it showed that Di Tian and the others were cautious of him.
"So, even someone as powerful as Di Tian is afraid?" Li Yu muttered to himself.
"Humans and spirit beasts have always been enemies. Lord Di Tian, did you drink fake wine or something? Why do you ask such a thing?" Li Yu answered without hesitation.
Although he didn't care about what others thought of him, it was still the truth.
While it might be possible for humans and soul beasts to coexist, it was certainly not something that could happen overnight.
Even later, in the timeline, with Huo YuHao efforts and the appearance of the Spirit Beasts and the Spirit Transmission Tower, the relationship between the two species eased significantly.
Later, with the development of soul tools and humanity's exploration of space, even a second planet was discovered... among other things.
Soul beasts also got their own planets.
But despite this, conflicts between the two species would still continue to occur.
"Not of my kind, their heart will surely differ."
These eight words were of great significance.
Only absolute strength could determine the truth.
But, even if an agreement were reached, once the balance of power shifted, that agreement could be torn apart at any moment.
So, even though Li Yu had never harmed the little rabbit and didn't think all soul beasts should die, his attitude was still firm.
Even though he was an outsider, he still stood with the human camp.
After he spoke, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Even though they didn't say it, they had been worried that, with Li Yu newfound strength, he might overlook the "blood feud" between the species.
However, Di Tian and Bi Ji's eyes narrowed.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.
Li Yu stared unflinchingly into Di Tian golden eyes. From every angle, he had no reason to fear.
Besides, with Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong also present, they far outclassed Di Tian and Bi Ji in terms of paper strength.
Bi Ji would definitely not be a match for either Qian Daoliu or Bibi Dong. In fact, either of them could easily suppress Bi Ji.
And with the timeline advanced by ten thousand years, even though Bi Ji hadn't been greatly affected, she still possessed over five hundred thousand years of cultivation, though her specialization was healing.
"Heh."
After a long while, Di Tian suddenly laughed, and softly said, "As expected, but…"
His gaze suddenly grew strange: "All the powerful beings from your human side must have gathered here, right? You…"
"Don't you really fear it?"
At his words, everyone's expression changed, and Di Tian and Bi Ji's figures suddenly disappeared.
Without a trace.
