Everyone present was stunned by Yang Xiong's plans. No one dared to voice any objections, as if he had already made arrangements for all people and the army.
According to Yang Xiong, the entire Douluo Continent would unite to form a new Douluo Federation.
Regions within the Douluo Federation would govern independently, with their leaders appointed by the Douluo Federation Committee, or rather, the actual administrative department.
The entire Douluo Federation would operate under a separation of powers: executive, legislative, and judicial. The Grand Marshal of the Executive Department would hold unified responsibility. Legislation would be based on the initial laws established by Yang Xiong, with all citizens participating in deciding and refining them. The judicial branch would be led by Qian Renxue, who would establish the Douluo Federation Supreme Court in Spirit City.
The most crucial aspect was the control over the entire Soul Master world. All Soul Masters would need to be registered. A dedicated Awakening Department and Education Department would be responsible for managing Soul Masters and overseeing the awakening of Martial Souls for all citizens within the Douluo Federation.
...
In short, according to Yang Xiong's plan, the entire Douluo Federation would function as a unified entity, preventing the rampant spread of Evil Soul Masters and the decline of talented commoners.
Of course, the classification of Evil Soul Masters would primarily include those who arbitrarily kill others, enhance their cultivation by devouring others, or violate the laws of the Douluo Federation. Ultimately, everything would be based on the law, not on the attribute of someone's Martial Soul.
For example, some Martial Souls that appeared evil could still exist normally within the Soul Master world as long as they did not violate any laws.
Yang Xiong couldn't help but recall Bibi Dong and Bone Douluo. Bibi Dong's Soul Devouring Spider Emperor and Bone Douluo's Ancient Dragon, in a sense, could be considered Evil Soul Masters. Yet, Bibi Dong became the Pope of Spirit Hall, even after devouring others. This also hinted at the internal issues within Spirit Hall.
...
After everyone had finished reviewing these details, Qian Renxue expressed some confusion.
"Yang Xiong, if your plan is followed, your Body Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect won't gain much, and their status might even be inferior to my Angel Clan."
Yang Xiong shook his head. "I don't care about the inheritance of the Body Sect. Perhaps this way will be better for this world. Of course, the Angel Clan will continue to exist in the future, but they will merely be a member of the Douluo Federation, without any true ruling power."
Qian Renxue sighed. "Perhaps you are right. Our Angel Clan has been too brilliant for the past ten thousand years, and we've always considered ourselves the leader of the Soul Master world. We might have forgotten our original intentions, perhaps forgotten the will of the Angel Ancestral God, which is why we've encountered the current turmoil and why the Soul Master world has been filled with bloodshed for decades."
"In the future, our Angel Clan will only represent justice in the Soul Master world. Perhaps then, there won't be so many troublesome matters, nor will there be situations like Bibi Dong's."
...
Compared to Qian Renxue, the Star Luo Emperor reacted more quickly and was more accepting of Yang Xiong's arrangements for the entire Douluo Continent.
This made Yang Xiong regard the Star Luo Emperor even more highly. It was no wonder the Star Luo Empire could decline and then rapidly rise again, even producing figures like Huo Gua. This method of selecting an emperor truly gave the Star Luo Emperor insight that surpassed others.
As for Empress Xue Ke, she no longer had any choices. The Heaven Dou Imperial Family's power was the weakest among all factions, only controlling a large army. The imperial family's direct Soul Masters had suffered seventy to eighty percent casualties.
Even if she wished to object, she no longer had the strength. Yang Xiong's plans for the entire nation meant he had reasserted control over all Soul Masters. Even Meng Shenji and others behind Empress Xue Ke were now under constraint. Moreover, their strength at the scene was too weak.
...
After dealing with all matters concerning the Human Race, everyone understood Yang Xiong's plan and his determination. If anyone dared to oppose him, Yang Xiong would not hesitate to kill them, or even eradicate their entire faction.
As for the last remaining power, Tang Xiao, after the incident involving Tang San, he was extremely resistant to Yang Xiong. However, the Clear Sky Sect could not defy Yang Xiong's decisions now, nor could they influence the future direction of the world.
...
Qian Renxue then spoke, "Yang Xiong, I have no objections to your arrangements for the Douluo Federation. But why did you invite Di Tian here?"
Yang Xiong paused. "This is the other major matter for everyone gathering here today. Although our Soul Master world has developed well over the years, there are still hidden dangers, specifically concerning the issue of coexistence with the Soul Beast race."
Qian Renxue replied, "There's nothing much to discuss here. Soul Beasts and Soul Masters are naturally opposed. We and the Soul Beasts will eventually be enemies; there's nothing to argue about."
Yang Xiong nodded. "That's true. But have you considered one issue? The Douluo Continent has a vast number of Soul Masters, exceeding one hundred thousand in total. Although many were lost in this war, there are still tens of thousands of Soul Masters. Based on the development of Soul Masters, it will take at most thirty years for the number of Soul Masters to recover to one hundred thousand."
"According to the Soul Ring requirements of Soul Masters, each Soul Master needs nine Soul Rings in their lifetime. Even if they only become Soul Ancestors on average, one hundred thousand Soul Masters would require four hundred thousand Soul Rings. This is just under normal hunting conditions."
"While the Soul Beast race is numerous, their growth rate is relatively slow, especially when we need Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings. The growth rate of Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts will definitely not match the cultivation speed of our Soul Masters. In the end, our descendants might not be able to obtain Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings."
"Not to mention the even rarer 100,000-Year Soul Rings. The reason there are no 100,000-Year Soul Rings on the Douluo Continent now is partly due to them being hunted, and partly because Soul Beasts do not have a favorable environment for growth."
Qian Renxue's expression became serious. "Yang Xiong, I know what you mean. You probably want to manage the Soul Beast Forests like the small Soul Beast Forests we cultivate. On one hand, you want to reduce the harm Soul Beasts inflict on commoners, and on the other hand, you want to reduce the arbitrary hunting of Soul Beasts by Soul Masters. Unfortunately, you're thinking too much; the Soul Beast Forests are too vast."
Yang Xiong smiled faintly. "Nothing is too vast or too small. I specifically invited Di Tian here this time to truly differentiate between humans and the Soul Beast race, establishing a relationship of both cooperation and restraint."
Ning Fengzhi on the side looked puzzled. "Yang Xiong, it's probably not that easy for us to get along with the Soul Beast race. Besides, only the top-tier Soul Beasts of ten thousand years or more possess consciousness. Ordinary Soul Beasts are just like wild beasts, only engaging in arbitrary killing and destruction."
Yang Xiong turned to Di Tian. "Di Tian, can you restrain the Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest from leaving it and attacking ordinary civilians?"
Di Tian thought for a moment before replying, "The Star Dou Great Forest does not have a true boundary. If someone intrudes into the Star Dou Great Forest, I cannot fully control it."
"However, under my restraint, I can control the phenomenon of beast tides, which will reduce the harm to civilians. As for your Soul Masters entering the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Soul Beasts, I cannot control if they are attacked by Soul Beasts."
Yang Xiong pondered Di Tian's words, then looked at the massive map before him. With a flash of his Soul Power, a large circle appeared on the map, encompassing the entire Star Dou Great Forest.
Yang Xiong turned to Niu Gao. "Old Rhinoceros, if personnel are arranged to build a city wall thirty meters high and about twenty meters wide to directly separate the Star Dou Great Forest, would that be feasible?"
Niu Gao, who had been acting as a background character, was surprised when Yang Xiong addressed him. He found Yang Xiong's question even more baffling.
However, after careful consideration, Niu Gao replied, "Sect Leader, the request you've made is extremely difficult. Even with several hundred people from my Defense Clan and ample funding, it would likely take several hundred years to complete."
"The Star Dou Great Forest has a diameter of approximately twelve hundred kilometers. A wall encircling it would exceed twenty-five hundred kilometers. Not to mention the significant variations in terrain, and the fact that it would be susceptible to attacks from Soul Beasts. The actual construction would likely be much more troublesome."
Yang Xiong simply nodded. "As long as it's confirmed to be feasible, the rest are not problems."
Before everyone could react, the Silver Dragon King's eyes lit up. "Yang Xiong, are you suggesting building a high wall to separate the entire Star Dou Great Forest from the human world, so that both sides don't interfere with each other? Humans won't be attacked by Soul Beasts, and human Soul Masters won't arbitrarily hunt my Soul Beast race?"
Only then did everyone understand the meaning behind Yang Xiong's words. If this were the case, it could indeed ensure peaceful coexistence between humans and Soul Beasts, and also guarantee the normal growth of the Soul Beast race, preventing large-scale killings.
Qian Renxue's eyes revealed a hint of caution. She had never been able to see through the Silver Dragon King, even though she was an Angel God. She could feel a great threat emanating from the Silver Dragon King, a threat that was no less than that from Yang Xiong.
Yang Xiong stated, "Precisely. The Douluo Federation will establish laws prohibiting humans from arbitrarily hunting Soul Beasts, especially high-level Soul Beasts. As for human Soul Masters who desire Soul Rings, the Douluo Federation will regularly organize personnel to go to the Soul Beast Forests."
"Additionally, the Douluo Federation will annually organize its high-level leaders to communicate with the leaders of the Soul Beast race to promptly resolve any conflicts or disputes that arise between the two sides."
Everyone present, being Soul Masters, quickly understood the purpose of Yang Xiong's actions. In this way, humans and Soul Beasts could coexist peacefully and even develop rapidly, avoiding the phenomenon of "draining the pond to catch the fish" and ensuring that Soul Masters would not lack high-level Soul Rings in the future.
Moreover, by cooperating with Di Tian, humans could even have him assist in managing the various Soul Beast Forests across the Douluo Continent, reducing the damage caused by beast tides to civilians. It was known that the number of civilians killed by beast tides each year was no less than the casualties of a war.
