Chapter 198 I disagree with this plan
"Xiao Meng is still in seclusion." Lin Nuo glanced at the Demiplane of Living Beings.
After successfully condensing the world core, the area of the demiplane doubled, and the world's strength was greatly improved. Although it did not reach the level of a Limit Douluo that Lin Nuo had expected, it was not an easy thing to reach the top in one step.
Lin Nuo wasn't disappointed; he figured he'd get there sooner or later anyway.
He was more concerned about Meng Hongchen's current situation.
"How long have I been in seclusion?" Lin Nuo asked.
"Your Majesty, you have been in seclusion for a total of seventy-eight days," A-Yi immediately replied.
"Seventy-eight days, less than three months." Lin Nuo was a little surprised. He didn't expect it to be so fast. It would naturally take less time to condense a single soul core, but with the improvement from the demiplane, it's hard to say.
In his mind, it should be normal to go into seclusion for more than half a year.
But if you calculate it that way, it's been three years since the last competition ended, right?
Am I eighteen years old now?
Very good. Eighteen years old this year, with a cultivation level of eighty. I'm afraid Douluo Continent isn't violent enough.
"What are you busy with again, Elder Ilex?" Lin Nuo looked at Ilex, who was sitting under the World Tree, deep in thought.
What are they doing? Attaining Buddhahood under the Bodhi tree?
But this isn't a Bodhi tree, and Electrolux doesn't believe in Buddhism, does he?
Electrolux raised his head and said calmly, "I was just thinking about something, and it was you who gave me this inspiration."
"Oh? Tell me more." Lin Nuo became interested and plopped down next to Electrolux.
Whatever Electrox's inspiration may be, it's definitely a good thing. The Grand Magician's latest scientific research achievement must be an advanced Trisolaran technology.
We must learn!
"In my past world, human cultivators could form a contract with magical beasts. This contract allowed humans and magical beasts to share power and summon each other." After thinking for a moment, Ilex pointed to Ayi and Xuedi.
"Those two must be the spirit beasts of your world, right? They're also the source of those spirit rings on you. Although I don't know much about spirit rings, I do know a bit about contracts. Perhaps I can create a contract that allows spirit masters and spirit beasts to share power?"
"Just like those two, they became your spirit rings, but retained their own consciousness. If you add some kind of contract, allowing them to retain their consciousness while also maintaining a certain level of combat power, wouldn't that make them a different kind of spirit ring?"
Lin Nuo was slightly disappointed after hearing this.
So it was a spirit.
To be honest, Lin Nuo wasn't really that interested in things like souls.
Many time travelers, after obtaining the old man Electrolux, almost always go to study the soul spirit system, determined to create a soul spirit no matter what.
But this kind of thing only benefits the Soul Master profession, not the creator himself. For example, what use is Lin Nuo to the Soul Spirit?
Assisting in combat?
Lin Nuo has no shortage of combat power. He himself is an overpowered monster, and the soul masters on the Sun Moon Empire's side are all battlefield meat grinders. With the appearance of spirit metal, soul tools can also enhance their power and raise their upper limit.
In this situation, Lin Nuo didn't lack those few henchmen at all. On high-level battlefields, it was better for him to personally take action than to let the spirits do it.
Can a spirit provide multiple spirit rings?
Isn't this purely a negative effect?
It's possible to eat one more soul beast and obtain one more soul beast's soul ring, soul bone, and source power, but one soul beast occupies multiple soul ring slots, leaving not enough slots to accommodate other soul beasts. Isn't this a negative effect?
Can one use the Soul Spirit Technique to trick ferocious beasts into cooperating with them and giving them Soul Rings?
He revealed his identity as a successor of the gods, and a large number of soul beasts were willing to sacrifice themselves to him and become gods with him. There was no need for such low-level tricks as deception.
By creating a spirit, one can become the revered founder of the Spirit Pagoda.
Laughable, what use is this besides a title?
In the original story, Huo Yuhao created a soul spirit, but we didn't see him gain any faith through it, nor did we see him use the power of faith to elevate his Godhood to the God King level.
The position of the God of Life that Lin Nuo is going to inherit is not a position that can be elevated through faith. What would he need faith for?
Creating spirits would actually cut off the last lifeline of spirit beasts, allowing human spirit masters to slaughter them indiscriminately and without restraint. In the end, the person who created the spirits would definitely be held accountable.
In other words, Gu Yuena is an idiot, the Dragon God is an idiot, and the entire Soul Beast lineage is an idiot.
The only somewhat useful Golden Dragon King crashed right at the start of the game.
If even one of them were successful, do you think Huo Yuhao would have been elbowed?
Lin Nuo had no interest in promoting something that was only beneficial to others but not to himself. It was a waste of time and energy, and he wouldn't get any real benefits. Lin Nuo could say with certainty that he would never do anything that didn't benefit him, except for things that involved his close friends and family.
He's the type who won't act without self-interest, and now he's laid his cards on the table.
Faced with Electrolux's enthusiastic plan to develop the Soul Beast Contract Method, Lin Nuo simply shook his head and rejected it.
He certainly wouldn't openly reveal his darker side, but persuading Electrolux wouldn't be difficult.
"Elder Yi, this is not a good thing. Once your contract appears, the Contract Law can replace the status of Soul Beasts and become a new means for Soul Masters to break through bottlenecks. Soul Beasts and Soul Rings will no longer be necessities. What do you think will happen next?" Lin Nuo said.
"Soul Masters will do their best to develop the Law of Contracts. Even if you define the Law of Contracts as equal from the beginning, some people will still transform it into forced enslavement, or even develop artificial soul beasts and artificial contracts. In this way, soul beasts will lose their function and will no longer be a necessity for soul masters to break through. The Douluo Continent will then be able to do without soul beasts."
"Following this, the Soul Beast race will definitely suffer a devastating blow, even extinction. Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. I am a Soul Master, I know better than you, and we will definitely do this."
"This is inevitable. Once such a contract exists, one day someone will be able to break through its limitations and make what I say a reality."
"In that case, you, who developed the Law of Contracts, and I, who promoted the Law of Contracts, will become the source of the extinction of the Soul Beast race. I am unwilling to do something that would smear my hands with blood." These words also carried a bit of Lin Nuo's sincerity.
He might kill someone because of his position or interests, but it's all profitable and highlights the word "struggle".
If you cultivate yourself without striving, others will strive to do so.
But the soul is not.
