The older generation powerhouses such as Chen Xinjie were aware that the ecosystem suffered irreversible damage due to the gradual extinction of the soul beasts. 

The world was to be populated by the soul beasts first including the plant-type soul beasts as well. 

Mankind's ceaseless slaughter of the soul beasts had aggravated the situation, especially after the Spirit Pagoda came into existence. 

The Spirit Pagoda's initial purpose was to live harmoniously with the soul beasts. However, research on the man-made spirit souls became the agenda some time ago. The research needed a large number of spirit souls as specimens. The Spirit Pagoda used this as the reason to answer the parliment's queries. Meanwhile, they began to hunt and kill the soul beasts wantonly. They relied on advanced technology and the mechas. As a result, the soul beasts' habitat became smaller.
