After arriving at the Temple of the God of Asura once more, Yang Podi's expression turned indifferent.
Unlike before, he no longer carried the same eagerness for the divine inheritance. Instead, he seemed calm and detached.
Upon entering the temple, Yang Podi merely sat down in the center of the grand hall, holding the Asura Demon Sword in his hand. His gaze remained locked onto the massive throne ahead, his emotions a mixture of conflict and indifference toward the godhood he once desired.
For ten days, he sat motionless.
Finally, a subtle change swept through the temple.
From the center of the colossal throne, a figure slowly materialized Dozens of meters tall Completely covered in blood-red light
Even his hair was dyed a deep, crimson hue
At just a single glance, Yang Podi felt as if he was staring into the vast heavens—or rather, an endless abyss.
For the first time, he realized how insignificant he truly was.
Even more unsettling was the phantom-like quality of the figure's face—its true features were obscured.
Yet, upon that massive visage, Yang Podi faintly detected a hint of contempt. Or perhaps, he saw something deeper within those mysterious eyes.
The God of Asura's voice echoed through the grand hall—
"Successor, why have you come to my temple? Are you dissatisfied with me?"
Though his tone was calm, his voice carried a weight like rolling thunder, resonating deep within the soul.
Yang Podi immediately bowed in respect:
"Junior Yang Podi greets the great God of Asura. I do indeed have some doubts in my heart. I ask for your forgiveness, my lord."
"As my successor, what doubts could you possibly have?"
"The God of Asura is the God of Slaughter in the Divine Realm. No matter the circumstances, you must always maintain absolute composure and confidence."
Yang Podi did not hesitate:
"My lord, regarding the Sixth Trial of the God of Asura, I am still confused."
"I have already severely injured Di Tian and hunted numerous hundred-thousand-year soul beasts. My stance toward the soul beast race is clear—'Those who are not of our kind must be of a different heart.'
"To me, the soul beast race is nothing more than a vassal to humanity."
For the first time, a faint emotion surfaced in the God of Asura's voice:
"Is this truly the extent of your understanding as my successor? Have you never considered coexistence between humans and soul beasts?"
Yang Podi shook his head:
"I have considered it. But as a human, my first priority must always be my own race."
"We do not need to exterminate the soul beast race entirely, but we must conquer them."
"Only when they submit—only when they no longer dare to initiate beast tides—can we truly achieve long-term coexistence."
The God of Shura remained emotionless:
"And you do not fear that one day, the soul beast race might face extinction? That humanity's Soul Masters might disappear entirely?"
Yang Podi's expression remained unwavering:
"I do not fear this. In fact, all of us have underestimated the soul beast race."
"Even if humanity perishes, the soul beast race will not truly vanish."
For the first time, the God of Asura hesitated:
"Are you mistaken? Humans only need a few decades to nurture a new generation of Soul Masters."
"Meanwhile, soul beasts require centuries—if not millennia—to grow. During that time, countless Soul Masters will rise and hunt them down. Is that not the true catastrophe for the soul beast race?"
Yang Podi voiced his own reasoning:
"My lord, while it is true that soul beasts grow slowly, the number of Soul Masters is also extremely limited."
"Across the entire Douluo Continent, the number of Soul Masters barely exceeds 100,000. At most, they require 500,000 soul rings."
"However, the soul beast race breeds rapidly."
"Take the Blue Silver Grass and Soft Bone Rabbits for example—"
Blue Silver Grass can grow in any harsh environment, often multiplying uncontrollably and even becoming an ecological hazard.
Soft Bone Rabbits give birth to over a dozen offspring per litter and reproduce at an astonishing rate, frequently triggering beast tides.
"Therefore, when it comes to raw survival ability, the soul beast race surpasses humanity."
The God of Asura pondered for a long time before speaking again:
"Your argument holds some merit. But if humanity continues its reckless hunting, the soul beast race will eventually decline."
"When that time comes, high-ranking Soul Masters will struggle to find ten-thousand-year soul rings."
Yang Podi shook his head:
"That will not be an issue, my lord."
"Ten-thousand-year soul beasts do not actually need to live for 10,000 years. High-quality soul rings may become rarer, but average ten-thousand-year soul rings will remain accessible."
"Furthermore, the ocean still holds countless sea soul beasts."
"And with the rapid advancement of soul tool technology, the demand for high-level soul rings will dramatically decrease."
"In the future, Soul Masters will truly enter an era of technological evolution."
At this moment, the God of Asura's expression turned solemn:
"Then tell me—what is your true stance on the soul beast race?"
"Do you seek to exterminate them, or will you choose peaceful coexistence?"
Yang Podi pondered deeply for a moment before speaking slowly:
"As I have said before—'Those who are not of our kind must be of a different heart.'"
"I am well aware that the soul beast race still harbors schemes—especially figures like Di Tian."
"Their ambitions are not small."
"Therefore, my stance is that the soul beast race must submit absolutely."
"At the very least, they must never pose a threat to humanity."
"As for those like Di Tian—ambitious and dangerous—it is best to eliminate them directly, lest they become a major disaster in the future."
"As for ordinary soul beasts, they can be left to grow naturally."
"The conflict between Soul Masters and soul beasts should follow the natural laws of the world."
"Of course, humanity must also prevent indiscriminate slaughter—"
"Just like the countless killers in the Slaughter City, or individuals like Dugu Bo, who used poison formations to massacre soul beasts en masse."
The God of Asura nodded slightly:
"Your proposed strategy for the soul beast race does indeed align with the development of the Soul Master world."
"In fact, it may even be suitable for the development of the entire Douluo Star."
"But let me ask you one more question—"
"What exactly is the God of Asura?"
At that moment, Yang Podi's eyes turned slightly red, and an aura of Asura's divine power began to emanate from him.
However, compared to the God of Asura, it was like a candle flame against the full moon.
"I believe—"
"The God of Asura is the God of Slaughter."
"The God of Asura is a ruler born from chaos and bloodshed."
A rare expression flickered across the God of Asura's face:
"A ruler born from chaos and bloodshed… That is quite an apt description."
"Unfortunately, what the Divine Realm needs right now is not a warlord—"
"It needs a qualified enforcer"
A trace of unwillingness appeared on Yang Podi's face:
"Lord God of Asura, it is precisely because I understand that the Divine Realm does not need a warlord that I have refrained from large-scale slaughter until now."
"Otherwise, how would the soul beast race have had the time to scheme?"
"How would the Spirit Hall have been able to unify the world?"
"Everything I have planned has only been for one purpose—"
"To protect myself."
"To protect my family."
The God of Asura's gaze flickered slightly:
"Are you still resentful of those who stopped you from pursuing and killing Di Tian last time?"
