Queenship

Ice Empress glanced at Tian Meng with a somewhat sour tone.

"They are both spiritual soul beast, and one have several times more cultivation. How can the gap be so huge?"

"."

Tian Meng said he was tired and didn't want to talk.

"Soul beasts keep their promises. Di Tian once promised that if I failed to survive the heavenly tribulation, he would give my clan a thousand years."

"If within a thousand years, our clan can have another soul beast that can break through the 100,000-year mark, his protection will still be effective."

The Deer Queen continued speaking without interruption. Huo Yuhao was silent. From the historical records of his previous life, it could be seen that the Deer Queen did not succeed. Her tribe did not produce a second leader, which resulted in the tribe losing its protection and disappearing in the long river of history within just a few hundred years.

The Seven-Colored Deer took a deep look at Huo Yuhao and said, "You seem to know something. Can you tell me?"

Huo Yuhao answered the question irrelevantly.

"Why did you choose me? Aren't you afraid that I would trick you? You could have used the remaining time to seek a breakthrough, or train a new successor. At worst, you could have asked Di Tian for mercy."

Even though he knew the ending from his previous life, Huo Yuhao still wanted to know why this leader chose him so easily. This time, the Seven-Colored Deer did not answer immediately, and Huo Yuhao did not urge her. He just looked at the other party steadily.

Not long after, a voice sounded, "How about the answer to this question be an exchanged for the answer to the question I just asked?"

Huo Yuhao nodded and did not refuse. Seeing that Huo Yuhao agreed, the Seven-Colored Deer spoke again.

"My race is weak and docile, unlike other soul beasts, we are not good at combat."

"Since I was born, my parents took me to hide from the world. Although it was hard, it was also a happy life. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. They died one after another to protect me. Until they faced death, they never even got angry about their experiences."

"It seems that this is the fate of our race, hiding, being discovered and eaten by other soul beasts, being discovered and killed by human soul masters."

"I don't want my people to have such a fate, so I practiced very hard and finally broke through 100,000 years of cultivation. I prayed to Di Tian for protection."

"My tribe has finally gained brief peace. Newborns can be accompanied by their parents instead of watching their parents die like I did. Weak tribesmen can die with time instead of being torn into pieces one day."

"Other soul beasts are constantly breaking through in an attempt to gain more lifespans, but for my people it is a luxury to live for long."

"They are grateful to me and respect me as their Queen. I still remember that since Di Tian's protection, every member of the tribe born in the territory has been brought to me by their parents to thank me."

Having said this, the Deer Queen paused and looked at Huo Yuhao.

"What you call a choice is not a choice to me."

"I know myself. There is no possibility of surviving the heavenly tribulation. It is just a last-ditch struggle. Now there is a new choice in front of me. Why shouldn't I choose it?"

"Even if I was deceived, it is only me. As their Queen, I should make this choice."

Her voice was very calm and gentle, and only at the end did it become a little louder, as if she was very proud. Looking at the beautiful Deer Queen, she easily agreed to her deal for the sake of her race.

Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, but his throat seemed blocked and his chest seemed to be burning with fire. For the first time, he felt his own reality in history, and he gave a race that would have disappeared in the long river of history another way.

And the Queen of the race chose him and he is indeed changing history. No one spoke, not Tian Meng who liked to joke, not Xiao Wu who was naturally playful, nor anyone else present.

After a long time.

"Can you take me to see your tribe?"

Huo Yuhao made a request. He wanted to see what kind of race could produce such a leader.

"Unfortunately, no. There is a barrier set up by Di Tian near my tribe. No one except my people can enter or leave freely. Once they leave the territory, they will be hunted down."

Huo Yuhao nodded. "I agree to your terms. The deal is done. Now it's time for me to answer your questions."

He called out to Yi Lai in his heart, and after a moment, a ball of golden light floated out from Huo Yuhao's mind and swayed towards the Seven-Colored Deer.

"I hope you're ready."

Huo Yuhao sighed softly. His past and future were too cruel for a leader of such a race. The Seven-Colored Deer did not comment, just watched the ball of light sink into her forehead. Xiao Wu looked at the two of them curiously, but she also knew that now was not the time to ask questions. For a moment, the scene was silent.

This time, the memory only involved the conversation between Wang Yan and Huo Yuhao, as well as the relevant records in history books, so it didn't take long to finish viewing. 

"Is this the future of our people?"

Her voice was still gentle, but with a hint of loneliness, and then she looked at Huo Yuhao again.

"Why didn't you show me your memories earlier? Wouldn't that be more beneficial to you?"

Huo Yuhao smiled brightly.

"That wouldn't be a fair deal."

"…I want to know why you have these memories. I want to understand you as a person. What do I need to do?"

The Seven-Colored Deer became even more curious about this young man. She originally thought that he was just a puppet created by the Fierce Beasts in the Extreme North, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Oh, then just take it as a gift to complete the deal. No extra charge."

"That's a nice thing to say. No wonder the girl next to you likes you so much."

The Seven-Colored Deer spoke teasingly in all seriousness. Huo Yuhao scratched his head, feeling somewhat embarrassed. Xiao Wu's face immediately turned red and she lowered her head, not knowing what to do.

"Now that we've made the decision, let's get started. What do you need me to do?" The Seven-Colored Deer no longer delayed.

"Just follow my instructions."

Huo Yuhao, who had experienced this countless times in his previous life, was also very familiar with it, although the process was also somewhat painful. But for Huo Yuhao, who had undergone the evolution of his martial soul, didn't even frown at the pain.

Half a day passed, and a red soul ring with two golden patterns rose from under his feet. At the same time, a miniature Seven-Colored Deer emerged from his chest and jumped onto Huo Yuhao's head. She was very cute.

She stepped lightly on Huo Yuhao's head and felt her own state, and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's amazing."

In the spiritual sea, the Deer Queen looked at Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea curiously. It was huge, vast, and boundless.

But what about the spiritual sea? The Deer Queen looked around and finally saw a puddle of golden water, about the size of a water tank?

"."

The Deer Queen felt like her little head was about to burn out. Why could there be a child with such a strong spiritual realm, such a vast mental space, but so little spiritual power!

"Deer Queen, nice to meet you. We are family from now on. Just call me Brother Tian Meng."

A mean voice came from behind her. She turned around and saw a fat golden silkworm appear behind her, blinking its little eyes twice.

"Don't listen to him, just call him Tian Meng. You can't treat this guy well or he'll get conceited."

The Ice Empress also appeared beside Tian Meng and pinched the body of Tian Meng's with her big pincers, causing a howl.
