As one of the bishops of the Life Church, Yidi excels in using Life Magic, especially Healing Magic.

The life of the stone egg is extremely fragile, yet the pulse of the heart still beats incessantly.

After all, the big dog was the former king.

If possible.

Baiyu still wanted to save it.

Fortunately, Yidi did not refuse, stepping forward immediately and began to channel his spirituality, using his Extraordinary Power.

Wisps of white energy surged from him, peaceful and warm, making one unconsciously feel relaxed.

The energy enveloped the stone egg.

And then constantly repaired the cracks on the stone egg. After a moment, the stone egg was miraculously restored to its original state, its surface smooth, with incessant vibrancy emanating from within.

"An amazing species."

Yidi looked at the stone egg, a bit surprised on his face.

He had never seen a species as miraculous as the big dog before, but given the countless mutations Exotic Beasts have undergone over the years, evolving into anything is unsurprising.

The big dog, transforming into a stone egg after death, is an unsolved mystery if viewed from a biological perspective.

But from the perspective of Extraordinary studies.

It's all within the acceptable range.

"It seems the healing spirit technique of the Life Church is as effective as rumored," Baiyu quietly praised.

Yidi smiled, "Mr. Bai, you exaggerate, it's merely some minor tricks."

The two conversed a while at the summit of Horag Peak, and before long, several powerful presences approached.

Baiyu could vaguely sense those presences were all Eclipse Moon Realm.

And their Life Blood Qi was thick.

Like an ocean, endless, and even more intense than his monstrous Blood Qi.

Such Blood Qi.

Only Exotic Beasts of colossal size could possess it, just like White Dragon Sith.

"King, the other lords have arrived."

White Dragon Sith had reverted to his lizardman form by now, half-fawning on the ground, showing utmost respect.

Baiyu was not quite accustomed to such conversations.

After all.

How could a human like him possibly be the king of Exotic Beasts?

But now, the urgent matter at hand is to stop the beast tide, only a king can order the Seven Great Lords.

"Let's go, meet them outside."

Baiyu took a deep breath and walked outside the ruined palace. At the peak of Horag, besides White Dragon Sith as a lizardman, the other six lords were in their true forms, each with very... distinct sizes.

The largest one occupied half of Baiyu's field of vision.

It was a gigantic elephant man.

Although it had various elephant characteristics, and a long trunk, it walked upright on two legs, its hands resembling those of humans, with palms and fingers, which made Baiyu regard it as an elephant man.

Upon seeing it.

Baiyu immediately recalled the large elephant spirit he saw in the Shituo Ridge from a TV adaptation of Journey to the West during his childhood.

Not similar.

Identical.

But this one was larger, standing on Horag Peak's summit, like a hill, exuding endless pressure.

Aside from it being the most conspicuous.

The other five lords had their own distinct features.

These lords had cultivated to the Eclipse Moon Realm, possessing independent spirit and thought, on par with humans.

They could also begin to alter their physiques.

"Greetings, King."

Upon the arrival of the other six lords, they immediately sensed the King's Power emanating from Baiyu and promptly worshipped.

To them.

A king is a king, an object of absolute submission.

This is the iron rule of the Exotic Beast World.

"No need, all of you stand up." Baiyu stopped them from continuing to kneel and said, "You all can control the Exotic Beasts under you. I have a proposal, wondering if it's feasible.

That is, to let you coexist peacefully with the humans of Bailan City.

Refrain from launching beast tides.

They will also refrain from leaving the city to exterminate you.

Thus, there's no need for meaningless battles and harm, allowing both Exotic Beasts and humans to thrive in better environments.

I always thought.

Exotic Beasts couldn't communicate.

But now it's proven wrong by facts, so I wish for reconciliation between humans and you all."

Humanity's main enemies are aliens.

Exotic Beasts frequently appear with aliens, leading most humans to mistakenly believe they're allied.

But evidently.

Exotic Beasts and aliens have no common ground between them.

It's likely aliens knew about the communicative ability of Exotic Beasts long ago and reached certain agreements, thus motivating Exotic Beasts to serve relentlessly.

"Communicate? Reconcile?"

For a time, the six lords were bewildered.

They had never considered these issues before.

"Yes, this is a chance to resolve conflicts and prevent unnecessary disputes and casualties."

Baiyu replied. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

But the six lords were evidently no children; they were keenly aware of humanity's dread.

"Firstly, there's no certainty humans will negotiate peace with us, even if there's negotiation, will they stop hunting us? Our counterattacks are largely defensive. Otherwise, humans would become increasingly unscrupulous."

A petite lord spoke.

It had a fairy-like face, somewhat similar to Elf Banshees, wings thin as cicada wings behind, and a physique like human females, only key parts covered by leaves.

Undoubtedly.

Such a Banshee form is the favored pet among the powerful and mighty.

Yet its aura was extremely strong, having reached the Eclipse Moon Realm, ranking mid-upper among the seven lords.

Baiyu frowned: "I can only assure there's no large armies, nor massive extermination operations.

Of course, if small human groups or mercenaries wish to hunt you down, they shouldn't pose a threat to your safety.

Whoever infringes upon the other must bear the consequences."

Baiyu's words were clear.

Whoever aims to hunt Exotic Beasts must rely on their skills; if Exotic Beasts kill humans, no one will hold them accountable.

All he seeks.

Is to halt the beast tide.

And what he can guarantee is Bailan City won't leave the city for extermination activities nor continue expanding.

Several lords considered Baiyu's proposal indeed feasible.

If it's just small mercenary corps, as well as those Bounty Hunters, Exotic Beast Hunters, they pose no real threat.

Even if allowed to kill, they can only harm the lowest, thoughtless Exotic Beasts.

Besides.

How many could they possibly kill?

Let alone on Exotic Beast territories, usually they're in grave danger.

What the lords feared were organized humans, with large firepower and involvement from human experts in

"Extermination activities."

Mobilizing tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands.

This deals a huge blow to Exotic Beasts, threatening the lords' regime and lives.
