On the vast territory of Douluo Continent, the Flame Alliance and the Three Kingdoms of Douluo fought side by side, and after going through countless hardships and dangers, they finally successfully ended the long-lasting war that caused great suffering to all living beings. The flames of war were extinguished, the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, and the long-lost light of peace fell on this vicissitudes of life continent. After that, Xiao Yan, a powerful man with a great reputation and extraordinary strength on the continent, had a great and groundbreaking idea in his mind – to establish a new cultivation system, the soul system.

In order to achieve this grand goal, Xiao Yan set his sights on the mysterious Xingdou Great Forest. This ancient and vast forest is like a mysterious treasure house containing endless mysteries, hiding countless unknown secrets and powerful beings. Xiao Yan knows that if he wants to establish a soul system, one of the key links is to communicate and cooperate with the top powerhouses in the forest, and the Beast God Di Tian is undoubtedly the most critical figure.

Xiao Yan once again stepped into the familiar yet unfamiliar Xingdou Great Forest. The sun shone through the dense branches and leaves, casting patches of light and shadow, like a dreamlike golden fragment. The surroundings were quiet and mysterious, with occasional strange roars of beasts, as if telling an ancient story hidden deep in the forest. Xiao Yan was dressed in a black robe, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, his steps were steady and powerful, and every step seemed to be on the heartbeat of this land. He exuded a unique aura, which was a powerful aura that had settled after countless battles and hardships, making the air around him tremble slightly.

As he went deeper into the forest, the surrounding vegetation became more lush, and the spiritual energy in the air became more and more dense. Suddenly, a strong and ancient pressure surged, as if an invisible mountain was pressing heavily on Xiao Yan’s shoulders. Xiao Yan’s mouth curled up slightly, he knew that Di Tian had already noticed his arrival. Not far away, the space seemed to be torn apart by an invisible hand, and a tall and majestic figure slowly emerged, it was the Beast God Di Tian.

Di Tian was huge, surrounded by a thick and mysterious black mist, with faint lights flickering in the mist, like stars in the deep universe. His eyes were like two burning flames, emitting a chilling light, as if he could see through everything in the world. The huge dragon wings spread slightly, and each scale shone with a metallic luster, as if it could resist any attack in the world. Di Tian looked down at Xiao Yan, his voice low and heavy, like the sound of a huge bell from ancient times: “Xiao Yan, what are you doing here this time?”

Xiao Yan looked solemn, clasped his fists and saluted towards Di Tian, ​​and said: “Senior Di Tian, ​​although the continent has been pacified now, there are still many limitations in the path of cultivation. I came here this time to discuss with you and jointly establish a new cultivation system – the soul system, so that the cultivators on the continent can have a broader path of development.”

Di Tian frowned slightly, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said: “Soul system? This has never happened before. Why do you think this is feasible? And why did you come to discuss it with me?”

In the mysterious core secret realm of Douluo Continent, the quiet atmosphere was filled with invisible tension and oppression. Beast God Di Tian and Xiao Yan stood opposite each other, and the air around them seemed to be distorted by this powerful aura, and every movement was filled with a trembling solemnity.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, knowing that success or failure depended on this one move. He mobilized the powerful fighting spirit in his body, and the light of the Eye of Destiny on his forehead flashed. In an instant, a cold breath spread. Along with this breath, a girl in a white dress slowly emerged. The girl’s figure was light, like a snowflake swaying in the wind. Her eyes were deep blue, like stars in the cold night, exuding a bone-chilling coldness, but her eyes lacked some agility, as if covered by a layer of invisible frost mist.

Di Tian’s majestic golden eyes suddenly shrank. Even though he had experienced countless years and witnessed all kinds of wonders in the world, he couldn’t help but be shocked at this moment. He stared at the girl who suddenly appeared, and his powerful perception was running wildly, but he found that this was definitely not something that could be achieved by ordinary soul skills. He couldn’t help but feel a strong curiosity and vigilance in his heart.

“This is the key I want to show you, Senior Di Tian.” Xiao Yan’s voice was steady and powerful, breaking the silence around them. “Her name is Ice and Snow Girl, and she is an important embodiment of the soul system I created.”

Di Tian frowned slightly, his eyes moving back and forth between Xiao Yan and the Ice Snow Girl, and asked in a deep voice: “Soul System? What is this? Why did she appear from your body?”

Xiao Yan bowed slightly to show respect, and then slowly said: “The birth of the soul system was not achieved overnight. At first, the way soul masters obtained power was extremely simple, and they could only obtain soul rings by hunting soul beasts, which led to increasingly sharp conflicts between soul masters and soul beasts. Later, some pioneers discovered that after the death of some soul beasts with powerful spiritual power, their souls would remain in a special form and could have a weak connection with the spiritual world of the soul master. This was the embryo of the soul system.”

“After countless explorations and attempts, soul masters began to try to fuse soul beasts’ souls with their own. At the beginning, the fusion was extremely unstable, the success rate was extremely low, and the results were not satisfactory. But as the research deepened, more and more soul masters devoted themselves to it, and gradually improved the relevant theories. Specialized research institutions continued to emerge, summarizing theories such as the classification, quality assessment, and fusion conditions of souls, and the soul system was initially formed. After that, soul guide masters developed soul guides to assist in fusion, as well as soul cultivation and evolution technology, and the soul system was able to develop rapidly. Today, the soul system has been widely used and has become one of the important ways for soul masters to gain power.”

“The Soul Spirit System is a brand new way of cultivation for soul beasts and humans to coexist. It breaks the cruel mode in the past where humans could only obtain soul rings by hunting soul beasts, and creates a new situation of mutual benefit and win-win. In the Soul Spirit System, soul beasts, on a voluntary basis, fuse their own power with human soul masters in a special form. After fusion, soul beasts will continue to exist in the form of soul spirits and establish a close connection with soul masters.”

“Not only can soul spirits endow soul masters with powerful soul rings, but these soul rings also possess unique abilities that far exceed those of ordinary soul rings. Just like the four soul rings that Snow Queen bestowed upon me after she became a soul spirit, each of them contains the power of her ice laws, allowing me to unleash powerful ice skills in battle. Moreover, soul spirits are in tune with soul masters, and during battle, they can react instantly to the soul master’s ideas and provide all-round support. For example, when facing an enemy’s surprise attack, soul spirits can quickly release protective skills to buy time for the soul master to respond; when an attack is needed, they can perfectly coordinate with the soul master’s skills to deliver a fatal blow. At the same time, soul spirits can continue to evolve as the soul master grows, and their potential is limitless.”

Di Tian was silent for a moment, with a trace of thought in his eyes: “It sounds good, but how can you guarantee the success rate of this transformation? How can you make the soul beasts believe in humans and be willing to take the initiative to become soul spirits?”

Xiao Yan looked determined, and looked at Di Tian with burning eyes: “At present, the success rate of transformation is indeed a difficult problem, but this is exactly what I need to continue to study and improve. As for making soul beasts trust humans, I think we can proceed from the interests of both parties. For soul beasts, becoming a soul spirit means the continuation of life. Even if they can only live for another hundred years, they can feel the world in another form instead of completely perishing. For human soul masters, possessing a soul spirit can not only gain powerful strength, but also avoid conflicts caused by hunting soul beasts.”

“I hope to build a bridge of communication so that humans and soul beasts can understand each other. You can come forward and gather some soul beasts that are on the verge of death but are willing to try, and conduct fusion experiments with human soul masters who have reached a bottleneck. Through continuous exploration and improvement, the soul system will be more perfect.”

Di Tian raised his head slightly and looked into the distance, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of Xiao Yan’s words. After a long while, he slowly said, “This matter is of great importance. Let me consider it again. But your idea does give me a new possibility.”

Xiao Yan’s heart tightened when he heard this, knowing that the key to this matter was this move, and he must not give up easily. He took a step forward and said sincerely: “Senior Di Tian, ​​I know that this idea is bold and risky, but if it succeeds, the conflict between soul beasts and humans that has lasted for many years will have an opportunity to be resolved, which will have immeasurable significance for the peace and development of the entire Douluo Continent. I beg you to give me a chance and give the soul beast clan a new future.”

Di Tian stared at Xiao Yan with burning eyes. After a moment, he slowly said, “Since you insist so much, I will give you this opportunity. However, if your experiment fails and causes the participating soul beasts to suffer or even die, I will not give up.” Xiao Yan was delighted and hurriedly promised solemnly, “Don’t worry, senior, I will do my best to minimize the risks. I will carefully select the right soul masters and soul beasts to ensure that the whole process is rigorous and safe.”

In the days that followed, relying on his high prestige in the soul beast world, Di Tian began to summon soul beasts that were on the verge of death but still had hope. He shuttled through every corner of the Xingdou Great Forest and passed the message to every soul beast that might meet the requirements. Among them was an emerald swan that was about to die. It used to be an elegant elf in the forest, but now it has become weak due to the erosion of time. Its feathers have lost their former luster, and every flap of its wings seems to be extremely strenuous; there is also a seriously injured earth rhinoceros that is difficult to heal. Its skin is rough and its flesh is thick. It was originally powerful, but now it can only barely support its body. Every breath is accompanied by a painful groan, and the shocking scars on its body seem to tell its past experiences. These soul beasts are at the end of their lives. Hearing that there is a chance to continue their lives in another form, they all come with trepidation and expectation.

Xiao Yan also started a difficult screening among the soul masters of Douluo Continent. He traveled around and visited various soul master families and colleges. At Shrek College, he met a young soul master named Lin Yu. Lin Yu was extremely talented, but he stagnated when he broke through the bottleneck of Soul Saint. His eyes were full of desire for power and curiosity about the unknown, which gave Xiao Yan hope. Xiao Yan had a long talk with Lin Yu, detailing the principles and prospects of the soul system. Lin Yu listened attentively, and the doubts in his heart were gradually replaced by curiosity, and he finally decided to join the experiment. In the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, Xiao Yan found an experienced soul master Zhao Xuan. Although Zhao Xuan was powerful, he felt powerless when facing higher-level challenges. He was full of doubts and interest in the soul system proposed by Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan showed him the ability of the Snow Emperor Soul. After Zhao Xuan witnessed the powerful and mysterious power with his own eyes, the balance in his heart began to tilt. After thinking for a long time, he nodded and agreed to participate in the experiment.

The experiment site was chosen in a hidden valley in the Xingdou Great Forest that was full of spiritual energy. The valley was surrounded by towering peaks, forming a natural barrier that blocked the outside world from prying eyes. The valley was filled with humid mist, mixed with the fragrance of grass and trees and the tense atmosphere of the unknown. The huge rocks were scattered around, like mysterious relics left by ancient giants, adding a bit of solemnity and mystery to the experiment.

Xiao Yan and the soul masters who participated in the experiment prepared day and night and debugged various soul guides. These soul guides were carefully made by the top soul guide masters in Douluo Continent. They were engraved with complex runes and contained powerful energy. Xiao Yan carefully checked the performance of each soul guide to ensure that they could operate stably in the experiment. He also worked with the soul masters to develop a detailed fusion process, from the energy guidance of the soul master and the soul beast to the spiritual communication during the fusion process. Every link has been repeatedly discussed and deduced. Di Tian took the soul beasts to observe quietly. His eyes showed both expectations for Xiao Yan and concerns for the safety of the soul beasts.

Finally, everything is ready, and the first soul fusion experiment is about to begin. Xiao Yan took a deep breath, looking at the soul master and soul beast in front of him, his heart full of tension and expectation. He knew that this moment was not only related to the success or failure of the soul system, but also to the future direction of Douluo Continent. With Xiao Yan’s order, the soul master and soul beast slowly approached, and an experiment that changed the world officially kicked off.

A soul master took the first step, he was Lin Yu. His target was the Emerald Swan. Lin Yu slowly closed his eyes and circulated the soul power in his body. A faint green halo gradually emerged around him, which was the light of the wind attribute soul power. At the same time, the Emerald Swan also flapped its wings gently, releasing its own breath. Its breath carried a faint fluctuation of life that was about to disappear, but it also contained a desire for new life. When the energy of the two gradually approached, the air seemed to be torn apart, making a “sizzling” sound. Suddenly, a strong repulsive force broke out between the two, and Lin Yu’s body involuntarily stepped back a few steps, and the Emerald Swan also let out a whine.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan immediately stepped forward. The soul guide in his hand shone brightly. He chanted something in his mouth, guiding Lin Yu and the Emerald Swan to adjust the frequency of energy. Xiao Yan found that Lin Yu’s wind attribute soul power was too impatient, which conflicted with the gentle life energy of the Emerald Swan. He told Lin Yu to slow down his soul power and accept the energy of the Emerald Swan in an inclusive manner. Lin Yu followed Xiao Yan’s instructions and tried again. He slowed down the speed of his soul power and made the wind attribute soul power gentle and soothing. This time, his soul power fluctuations gradually resonated with the breath of the Emerald Swan, and the energy of the two began to slowly merge. An illusory light and shadow emerged between them, which was the sign of the first appearance of the soul.

However, not all fusions are so smooth. The fusion of Zhao Xuan and the Earth Rhino encountered great difficulties. The earth attribute power of the Earth Rhino is extremely strong and heavy. When Zhao Xuan tried to merge, he was knocked out by a strong recoil force and vomited blood. After Xiao Yan arrived, he found that Zhao Xuan’s soul power was far different from the energy frequency of the Earth Rhino, and the Earth Rhino was seriously injured and extremely emotional, which made the fusion more difficult. Xiao Yan decided to let Zhao Xuan stabilize his soul power first. He asked Zhao Xuan to circulate the soul power in his body and gradually calm down the disordered breath. At the same time, Xiao Yan used the soul guide to release a soothing energy wave, carefully approaching the Earth Rhino, trying to calm its emotions. At first, the Earth Rhino was full of vigilance against Xiao Yan and kept making low roars, but with Xiao Yan’s patient comfort, its emotions gradually stabilized.

After some effort, Zhao Xuan approached the Earth Rhino again. He carefully guided his soul power and gradually integrated it with the earth attribute power of the Earth Rhino. During this process, Xiao Yan constantly adjusted the parameters of the soul guide to provide support for Zhao Xuan and the Earth Rhino. Every time the parameters were adjusted, Xiao Yan had to carefully observe the reaction of the two energies. If he was not careful, it might lead to the failure of fusion. Zhao Xuan was also concentrating, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he was highly focused, trying to make his soul power fit with the energy of the Earth Rhino. Finally, the energies of the two began to blend with each other, and a soul emitting a yellowish-brown light gradually took shape.

As time went by, the experiment entered a white-hot stage. Lights flickered in the valley, energy fluctuations rose and fell, and shouts and roars intertwined. Some soul masters merged with soul beasts smoothly, and their strength was significantly improved. The newly formed souls and soul masters cooperated tacitly, showing strong combat effectiveness; others were still struggling hard, and the conflict of energy caused violent explosions. The powerful impact uprooted the surrounding trees. Di Tian stared at the experimental site closely, and his eyes revealed a trace of worry. If a soul beast was in danger, he was ready to intervene at any time.

In an explosion caused by a failed fusion, a soul beast was seriously frightened. It fled frantically, trying to break free from the fusion attempt with the soul master. Xiao Yan immediately used his body skills to catch up with the soul beast. He wrapped the soul beast with gentle mental power, conveyed soothing emotions to it, and at the same time conveyed a signal to the soul master to stop the fusion. After some efforts, the soul beast’s emotions gradually stabilized, and Xiao Yan began to re-examine the reasons for the failure of this fusion. He found that the spiritual communication between the soul master and the soul beast before the fusion was not sufficient, resulting in the inability of both parties to fully trust each other. Therefore, Xiao Yan decided to increase the spiritual communication between the soul master and the soul beast before each fusion, so that they can understand each other’s thoughts and needs.

Xiao Yan specially set up a quiet space for soul masters and soul beasts to communicate spiritually. He taught soul masters how to use their mental power to perceive the emotions and thoughts of soul beasts, and also guided soul beasts to let down their guard and show their inner world to soul masters. In this process, a female soul master named Su Yao and a spirit fox soul beast communicated particularly smoothly. Su Yao was gentle and delicate. She touched the spirit fox with gentle mental power, telling it about her pursuit of power and respect for soul beasts. The spirit fox also felt Su Yao’s sincerity. It showed Su Yao its memories of life in the forest and its desire for the continuation of life. The spirits of the two gradually blended and established a deep trust.

In subsequent experiments, this method achieved remarkable results. The success rate of fusion between soul masters and soul beasts gradually increased, and the newly formed souls became more stable and powerful. Xiao Yan constantly summed up his experience and improved the fusion process and the use of soul guides. He found that soul masters and soul beasts of different attributes had different energy output requirements for soul guides when they were fused. Therefore, he made targeted adjustments to the soul guides based on the differences in attributes, so that the soul guides could better assist in fusion. He also encouraged soul masters and soul beasts to establish a deep emotional connection, because he found that when there is an emotional bond between the two, the fused souls are not only stronger, but also able to exert more powerful combat power.

As the experiment progressed, more and more soul masters and soul beasts successfully merged, and the feasibility of the soul system was initially verified. Xiao Yan and Di Tian looked at the harmonious scene gradually forming in the valley, and their hearts were filled with emotion.

Xiao Yan knew that although the soul system still faced many challenges, such as how to further improve the success rate of fusion and how to get more soul beasts and soul masters to accept this new way of cultivation, he had already taken the first step towards success. Di Tian also recognized Xiao Yan’s efforts and talents. He began to believe that this new cultivation system might really change the future of Douluo Continent and allow soul beasts and humans to coexist harmoniously on this continent.

In the days to come, Xiao Yan and Di Tian will continue to explore. They need to face more difficulties and challenges and constantly improve the soul system.

For example, how to promote the soul system to the entire Douluo Continent, and how to resolve new conflicts that may be caused by the soul system, these will be the problems they will face next.

But Xiao Yan and Di Tian firmly believe that as long as they work together, they will be able to create a better future for Douluo Continent. (End of this chapter)
