Chapter 73: The two who were awakened need to recognize their own identities and roles!
If you leave Ah Yin and Xiao Wu in front of these soul beasts and they don't resist, their first reaction will definitely be to eat them to increase their cultivation! Not to let them go. So why not just take care of your own family?
If Xiao Wu had held this attitude from the beginning, perhaps she wouldn't have been criticized so much, and people wouldn't have felt she had let down the soul beast race. After all, she made a promise casually at the beginning, but didn't keep it, and the number of soul beasts has been decreasing.
Xiao Wu and A Yin fell into deep thought after hearing Dai Yichen's words. Xiao Wu, in particular, did indeed, as Dai Yichen said, not want to see Soul Masters hunting Soul Beasts, or rather, not want to see Soul Beasts die in front of her.
As you can see from what Dai Yichen wrote later, her brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and her mind was even a little confused.
Suddenly, she realized that what Dai Yichen said actually made some sense. She wasn't the ruler of all soul beasts. It was one thing to have excessive sympathy for weak soul beasts, but why should she have sympathy for other soul beasts with a certain level of cultivation?
Gu Yuena:
You might not want others to be hunted by Soul Masters, but the Soul Beast that is hunted by a Soul Master might see you as a delicious meal!
At this moment, Xiao Wu suddenly recalled a very distant memory: when she, Da Ming, and Er Ming were still very young, her mother and father were protecting the three of them from other powerful soul beasts.
Among soul beasts, the higher the bloodline, the earlier they develop intelligence and memories, just like human infants. Under normal circumstances, they cannot remember things that happened before the age of three, except for some exceptionally precocious ones.
Now, Dai Yichen has finally woken her up. It seems she's been eating too much carrot and worrying about things that aren't her business!
Dai Yichen never expected that his casual writing would directly change some of Xiao Wu's beliefs.
That's true. Those ferocious beasts don't really care about the lives of other soul beasts. She's just a 100,000-year-old soul beast, and she's even transformed into a human. Why should she care so much?
Di Tian is now temporarily replacing Gu Yuena as the ruler of all soul beasts, but doesn't he also need to hunt his own kind to fill his stomach due to his physiological needs?
As for Xiong Jun, he is inherently cruel, needless to say. Sometimes, hunting soul beasts is not just for the sake of satisfying his appetite, but for the pleasure he gets.
For Di Tian and his group, only their own kind could earn their attention. As for the soul beasts of other races, they were merely tools to them, tools for launching a counterattack against human soul masters. Normally, they wouldn't care too much about the life or death of these soul beasts, otherwise they wouldn't have been holed up in the central region all this time!
If human soul masters hadn't started exploring the central region and discovering even more advanced ferocious beasts thousands of years later due to the significant decrease in the number of soul beasts in the outer regions, Di Tian and his group probably wouldn't have appeared in the human world's sight.
Dai Yichen was writing in his diary diligently, completely unaware that Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were secretly glancing at him. Moreover, two copies of the diary had appeared in front of them, but Dai Yichen couldn't see them.
Of course, neither Dugu Yan nor Ye Lingling could see Dai Yichen's book either, so strictly speaking, the system did not deceive Dai Yichen; it just liked to play word games.
Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong suffered greatly as a result.
As for Dai Yichen's statement, those with extensive experience, such as Bibi Dong, Poseidon, and even Liu Erlong, who hold high positions, all know that Xiao Wu and A Yin still lack social experience. Such thinking is simply too naive.
In their eyes, Xiao Wu and A Yin's ideas, if placed in the context of the Soul Master world, would be like a high-ranking official or emperor of a country becoming a Soul Beast and living with Soul Beasts, while saying they hope these Soul Beasts won't kill humans. This seems rather ridiculous.
Or rather, they felt that the scheming and intrigue among spirit beasts was still too little, almost laughably naive, and that human society was far more complex than they imagined.
Although they are all human, they are very clear about their identity and role as Soul Masters. If you are just a commoner, then it is to survive; if you are a nobleman, then it is to create better benefits for your family; if you are the ruler of a country, then it is to create benefits for your country and be responsible for the people within the country as much as possible.
If you were the first person among humans, then you should consider that your actions are for the sake of making all of humanity better!
This is a shift in mindset, from the small to the large, from the individual to the nation and finally to the whole world.
And what about Xiao Wu and A Yin?
In their eyes, she was just a 100,000-year-old soul beast of a certain clan among soul beasts. This status was equivalent to that of a clan leader. Ah Yin was indeed the emperor of the Blue Silver Clan, which was equivalent to the ruler of a country in the soul master world. As long as she took care of her clan and relatives, wouldn't that be enough?
Take Poseidon for example. She never cares about what happens on the mainland. All she cares about is the safety of the people of Poseidon Island, because she is the high priestess of Poseidon Island!
As for making the soul beast race better, that's the business of the soul beast lord, and it doesn't really have much to do with the two of them.
Those who are more powerful than them don't worry about this. These two are not even ranked in the world of soul beasts, so why should they worry about this?
Gradually, Ah Yin and Xiao Wu seemed to realize this as well, and their beliefs began to change.
The far north.
Hyotei looked at Yuki-tei and pouted, "Sister Yuki, why do I feel like Dai Yichen is being a bit unreasonable? It seems to make some sense, but something just doesn't feel right."
Xue Di pondered for a moment with her cold and beautiful face before smiling: "Actually, all that he wrote can be summed up in one sentence."
What are you saying?
"Whether you're a Soul Master or a Soul Beast, if you don't have the ability, take care of yourself. If you do have the ability, take care of yourself and your family. As for the safety of all Soul Beasts or all of humanity, that's not something that 100,000-year-old Soul Beasts like Xiao Wu can consider. It should be Di Tian or the Lord of Soul Beasts who should be considering such things."
"Look at Dai Yichen, with such talent and a system, he initially only wanted to improve the lives of the people in his own country, not to be so arrogant as to consider the entire Soul Master world. Later, because of his current lack of strength, he gained a clear understanding of himself and realized that taking care of himself and his family was enough."

"He didn't let his talent and the system he possessed cloud his judgment about his current situation. He clearly knew what he needed to do, instead of just making empty promises."
She learned the term "pretentious and empty" from Dai Yichen's diary during the past year; she thought Dai Yichen was a very interesting person.
It doesn't mean that just because we have a system or a shield of life reflection, we are invincible and want to consider the interests of all mankind.
When you are poor, you should cultivate your own virtue; when you are successful, you should help others. Only when you take care of yourself and your family can you talk about anything else!
Xue Di discovered that although she hadn't received any particularly good rewards from Dai Yichen this year, she had learned a lot and gained a lot of knowledge.
