Bab 214: Chapter 212: Understood, Xu Ran Is the Soul Beast Clan's Cheat Code_1
```
"I, Xu Ran, pay my respects to Your Majesty," Xu Ran said after watching Gu Yuena for a long while before respectfully saluting her. Gu Yuena is the Silver Dragon King, possessing half the power of the Dragon God and an existence revered by the whole Soul Beast Clan.
Even though he is now an Auspicious Beast, with auspicious signs and the symbol of the Soul Beast Clan's fortune, he is still insignificant compared to Gu Yuena.
Though fortune is important, after all, this is a world where the biggest fist rules.
"As an Auspicious Beast, you do not need to salute me as Di Tian and others do, nor do you need to call me Your Majesty," Gu Yuena said. Following her words, Xu Ran felt a warm energy gently lifting him up.
An Auspicious Beast is born under the mandate of heaven and need not submit to anyone.
"Then..." Xu Ran raised his head to look at Gu Yuena, and as a breeze blew by, a fragrance that was particularly refreshing to the spirit entered Xu Ran's nostrils, invigorating him.
"I am now called Gu Yuena, so you can just call me Sister Nana," Gu Yuena suggested. The only other one who could address her in such a manner would naturally be the original Auspicious Beast from the Aquipeia Forest, the Three-eyed Golden Lion.
"I see you have already a thousand years of 'Cultivation Level,' by rights, you should've existed for a thousand years, yet why haven't I sensed your presence before?"
"And what state are you in now, being able to transform into a human at will, and even to switch back to your true form? Even now in your human body, there is not the slightest trace of a soul beast's aura."
"Also, what exactly happened during that great battle last time? I could sense that your aura was very strong, but now it seems very weak." Gu Yuena's brows were tightly furrowed as she threw out three questions in quick succession.
Even she had to admit that the appearance of this Auspicious Beast was too strange, too abnormal.
Yet, she did not doubt Xu Ran's identity but pondered deeply about the profound implications behind the birth of this enigmatic Auspicious Beast.
Auspicious Beasts, being the darlings of heaven and earth, do not just appear without reason.
Gu Yuena's beautiful eyes settled on Xu Ran. Her untainted purple eyes were as pure as exquisite gems, extremely dazzling within the Silver Dragon Castle.
"Sister Nana, these are the secrets I carry, and for the time I cannot tell you, because they implicate the laws of heaven and earth. If I were to reveal them, even if you wouldn't spread the word, it's possible that they would be perceived by heaven and earth, and might even be detected by those in the Divine Realm," Xu Ran replied, flustered by Gu Yuena's barrage of questions. He resorted to this deliberately vague excuse.
As Gu Yuena had established that they were not in a hierarchical relationship, he naturally had the choice to withhold information.
He could also throw out esoteric terms from his previous life's fantasy and xianxia novels to elevate his own mystique.
"Laws of heaven and earth? Do you even know about these things?" Seeing Xu Ran not offering more, Gu Yuena did not press further, instead, looking at him curiously.
The things Xu Ran talked about were the kind only God level strong would come into contact with.
"The operation of the entire world relies on the unique laws of this world. The reason our Soul Beast Clan is subjected to heavenly tribulations—and the restrictions get stronger over time—is due to the constraints of these laws."
"And after the Dragon God was slain, the gods of the Divine Realm subtly influenced the laws, continually tightening the shackles upon the soul beasts to limit their growth. So even if a soul beast cultivates for nearly a million years, they might not become divine. Without soul beasts becoming divine, no more beings like the Dragon God who could threaten their status would emerge again," Xu Ran said.
He had already suspected these secrets upon transmigrating. And after arriving, his suspicions were confirmed.
Back when soul beasts ruled the world, there were many strong amongst them.
```
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's "Cultivation Level" was approaching a million years, yet he could never take that final step towards godhood, all because of the constraints of the laws. The current laws were no longer suitable for soul beasts to ascend to godhood.
In order to become a god, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King needed to seize the Sea God's inheritance and use the aura of a human god to break free from the restrictions and thus break through to godhood.
"Indeed, I didn't expect you to see these matters so clearly," Gu Yuena's purple eyes brightened with surprise as she looked at Xu Ran, finding it somewhat unbelievable.
Indeed, this Auspicious Beast was extraordinary!
Could it be that Heaven and Earth Consciousness sensed that humans had become too powerful? Did it want to help the soul beasts regain their strength to balance the world's powers, and thus created this Auspicious Beast to aid in their rise?
Gu Yuena pondered deeply, her fair, porcelain-like cheeks flushing with color as she felt her guess was very close to the mark.
This was the sign of the Soul Beast Clan's rise!
As Xu Ran spoke, he paid close attention to the change in Gu Yuena's expression. Xu Ran might not be as capable as Gu Yuena in other aspects, but when it came to understanding people, perhaps there was no one in the world who could match him.
Quickly, Xu Ran discerned her thoughts from her excited expression.
"As you think, it is indeed so," he said.
"This world, Soul Land, Divine Realm, and the other continents, all have their consciousness. This consciousness is what we call World Consciousness."
"World Consciousness has always been balancing the development of all things in the world in its own way."
"When our Soul Beast Clan was too prosperous, the luck of the world would shift towards humans, aiding them in rising and suppressing our Soul Beast Clan. Now that soul beasts are weak and humans are strong, World Consciousness will lean towards the Soul Beast Clan, to maintain the balance of species on the Continent. As an Auspicious Beast, I was born for this very reason," Xu Ran explained with candor, though most of what he said was puffed-up nonsense.
However, Xu Ran's composed, unhurried demeanor made his words seem believable.
After all, these grand but empty words were impossible to confirm; spoken by him, they could very well seem true.
However, the core message of Xu Ran's words was to maintain species balance, which also subtly hinted to Gu Yuena.
Although he did want to help the soul beasts - after all, he was an Auspicious Beast - he also had more than a few human wives, and his own body was also human. So, maintaining a balance between the two races, with love and conflict intermixed, seemed appropriate.
"So, is that how it is?" Gu Yuena nodded thoughtfully, somewhat convinced by Xu Ran's words.
There was no helping it; Xu Ran the smooth talker spoke without batting an eye, which made it difficult for Gu Yuena to notice anything amiss.
Gu Yuena was powerful, and precisely because she was so powerful, almost no one had dared to deceive her from ancient times to the present. Naturally, she was unaware of the many schemes in Xu Ran's mind.
"So now, has Heaven and Earth Consciousness started to favor our Soul Beast Clan?" Gu Yuena murmured. Her gaze towards Xu Ran softened from its initial coldness.
Now she finally understood why Xu Ran possessed so many things that defied common sense.
After sorting out all that Xu Ran had said, Gu Yuena came to a final conclusion: Xu Ran was a cheat code provided by Heaven and Earth Consciousness exclusively for the Soul Beast Clan!
