No one knew better than me the reason for the changes in Bart's body.
The God's Power was the power of the Monster Emperor Ling. It was the true power of the Gods, especially for the Monster race.
The Roc race's bloodline might be strong, but it was nothing in front of the Monster Emperor Ling's power. Hence, the changes in Bart's bloodline and the recovery of his injuries were all natural after I bestowed him the God's Power.
Even though Bart didn't know about the existence of the God's Power, he knew who brought it to him. Hence, the arrogant young man had disappeared, leaving only the Great Roc race prince who was deeply grateful to me and even respected me as an elder.
From the current situation, my plan to buy people's hearts was a huge success. With the help of the Snake Spirit and Bart, it shouldn't be a problem to awaken the ferocious beasts in Wind's Breath City.
However, I didn't feel much better and instead frowned.
The changes in Bart's body would definitely attract the attention of the Great Roc race's Monster Emperor Tengger. He might not be able to resist the God's Power, but he would definitely be able to sense that it was a much stronger power than him. Under such circumstances, he would definitely be interested in me.
If he knew that I was in Wind's Breath City, he would definitely spy on me and even kidnap me to meet him.
Under such circumstances, my cover would be completely exposed. With the war between the human world and the Monster region on the verge of breaking out, I probably wouldn't be able to return to the human world.
After Bart finished his explanation, I said to him in a deep voice, "This is indeed my help to you, but at the same time, it's also your good fortune. You don't have to thank me.
If you really want to repay me, I only have one request, which is to hide my existence. Don't tell anyone, especially your grandfather. "
I didn't beat around the bush and directly stated my request.
After hearing my words, Bart subconsciously hesitated for a moment, but he quickly nodded and agreed.
From his previous gratitude towards me, it shouldn't be a problem for him to help me hide my existence. Hence, I didn't say anything more and nodded, indicating that he could leave.
Bart stood there without moving. Instead, he looked hesitant, as though he was making a decision in his heart.
Without waiting for me to ask, he suddenly knelt in front of me and respectfully kowtowed to me. Then, he cupped his fists and said to me, "Senior, I want to worship you as my master."
This scene was truly out of my expectations. After remaining silent for a moment, I shook my head. "Your grandfather is the Monster Emperor and has an exceedingly high cultivation. Why do you have to seek me as your teacher?"
From the bottom of my heart, I didn't approve of the Monster Race. Other than Nam who had saved my life, I didn't want to be involved with any other Monster Race.
Even with the identity of the Monster Emperor, my first reaction was to reject him.
Bart shook his head. It was clear that he didn't agree with my words. He saluted once more before saying, "My grandfather's cultivation base was exceedingly high, but Senior was able to change my bloodline with just a wave of your hand. This is something that even my grandfather was unable to do. Our Roc Clan considers ourselves to be the children of the heavens, and we believe in the connection between man and the heavens. Meeting with Senior must have been the guidance of the heavens, so Senior, please accept me as your disciple!"
After that, he kowtowed three times on the ground.
The thing that changed Bart's bloodline was the Monster Emperor's godly powers. However, only I could control such powers, so it wouldn't be wrong to say that it was my power.
I hesitated as my right index finger unconsciously tapped on the table.
Bart didn't dare to speak further as he saw that I was contemplating. He lowered his head and waited silently.
I came to Wind Breath City for the awakening of the ferocious beasts. If I were to accept Bart as my disciple, it would definitely be of great help to me.
However, the inheritance of a master and disciple was a sacred matter to anyone. Once he had a status and my identity was exposed, how would he deal with himself?
How would I face him?
Bart was different from Nam. Nam was only a small Houndhead Man. Even if I had changed his bloodline and allowed him to stand out in Rock City, Nam was still a small character in the Monster Region. There were many things that he didn't have to bear.
Even if the war between the human race and the Monster Region broke out, it wouldn't affect him because of my identity.
Bart was from the royal family of Wind Breath City. If I were to accept him as my disciple, he would definitely grow rapidly with my help. It wouldn't be surprising for him to become another Great Roc race Monster Emperor. At that time, he would even have to bear the fate of the entire Monster Region.
This was a completely predictable situation. Under such circumstances, it was unwise to accept him as a disciple.
After understanding all of this, I was prepared to reject him. However, I hesitated as the words reached my mouth.
I had lived in the human world since young and had always considered problems from the perspective of the human race. However, in reality, I carried the souls of Emperor Ku and Monster Emperor Jun. From a certain perspective, I was a mixture of the human race and the monster race.
If I were to abandon my human standpoint, what would I think of the human race and the monster race?
I silently looked at Bart, but my mind was already focused on the fate of the human and monster race.
The first scene that appeared in my mind was the mural that I saw when I returned to the Fire God Temple after the opening of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
In the mural, Xuanyuan, Shennong, Monster Emperor Jun and Chi You, these ancient Gods were sitting together, quietly discussing something.
Ever since I had started thinking about the fate of the human and monster race, this scene had been hovering in my mind, unable to disperse.
I pondered in silence for an hour. The spirit snake and Bart also waited for me for an hour.
After a long time, my eyes regained their focus. I didn't directly reject Bart, but asked him, "Do you know about the opening of the Monster Region and the human world?"
Bart was stunned by my sudden question. He immediately replied, "I've heard uncle mention this before."
"What do you think of the human race?" I continued to ask.
"The human race …" Bart seemed slightly confused. He muttered to himself for a moment before shaking his head. "I've only heard that the human race used to exist in the Monster Region, but they became extinct.
As for the human race in the human world … Since they aren't of our race, I'm afraid that a great war will be inevitable in the future. "
I nodded. Bart's words weren't out of my expectations.
In fact, my view of the monster race had greatly changed in the two years I had been in the Monster Region.
In my previous impression, the monster race was an extremely vicious beast that devoured humans. But now, it seemed that besides their bloodline, appearance, and lifestyle, there wasn't much of a difference between them and the human race.
And from the monster race that I had come into contact with, there were very few vicious and vicious people, and many kind people.
Since that was the case, why did there have to be a great war?
Or rather, what was the point of such a great war?
The opening of the Mountain and Sea Realm had already brought about a world-ending disaster to the human world. If there was another great war, how many people would survive?
Although the Monster Region hadn't suffered a disaster, the human race definitely wouldn't allow themselves to be trampled upon. After the war, even if the monster race won, they would definitely suffer great losses.
There definitely wouldn't be a winner in a war, so there was no need for it to happen.
I raised my head and glanced at the roof, the corners of my mouth curling into a cold smile. I lowered my head and said to Bart, "I can accept you as my disciple, but I have a condition.
You can't be restricted by your identity as a monster race. You can't have racial hatred, and you must treat the human race and monster race equally.
Can you do that? "
Bart obviously hadn't expected such a request from me. He was silent for a moment, but didn't answer my question. Instead, he asked in surprise, "Senior, you … Could it be that you're a human?"
This kid was somewhat quick-witted, but I shook my head. "My identity is a bit special, so there's no need to hide it from you. I'm both a human and a monster."
Bart naturally didn't understand my words, but he didn't feel too conflicted. He quickly put on a serious expression and said, "Senior, you've given me a new lease on life. If it wasn't for Senior's kindness, I wouldn't have any future to speak of. So please don't worry, Senior. I swear on my bloodline that I will never have any thoughts of racial differences in my life. Senior, please help your disciple!"
