Douluo Jueshi, world modulation mode

Artificial souls?
Everyone was puzzled: Can souls be artificially created?
Aren't soul spirits derived from the souls of soul beasts? Only in this way can soul rings be added to human soul masters.

Isn't this equivalent to directly creating the soul of a soul beast, or directly creating a soul ring?

No?

Is this still Douluo Continent?

They've already progressed to creating souls?
Several level 10 Soul Masters also looked at An Zhen with surprise. Create living things?

"It's not that difficult."

A male voice with a slightly ethereal quality rang out.

When everyone looked in the direction of the sound, they saw a gray figure that had appeared to the side at some point, ethereal and otherworldly, with a faint golden light surrounding him, making him appear divine and extraordinary.

“Senior.” Mu En raised his hand and bowed.

"This……"

Aside from Jing Hongchen, the other level-ten soul masters' eyes suddenly narrowed. That incredibly familiar gray was something they could never forget, a power that seemed to have etched a spiritual imprint into their sea of ​​consciousness. This was in conjunction with His Majesty's current age, the information they had gathered about An Zhen during the period when the Sun Moon Empire was under His Majesty's control, and An Zhen's relationship with His Majesty.

Was this the one who secretly acted on behalf of His Majesty at that time?
That indescribable, terrifying spiritual power remains an indelible shadow in the hearts of many high-ranking Soul Masters in the Sun Moon Empire.

It's not difficult for Electrolux.

After all, this person is already very capable in research.

And he is most likely the person in this universe who has gone the longest on the path of combining the power of death and soul, and may even be the only one who has combined the two opposing forces of light and the dead.

Undead who are not afraid of the power of holy light—if this were in the glorious era of the Throne of Gods, the final outcome would probably have been completely different.

Electrolux spoke calmly, "Generally speaking, it involves analyzing the blood of a soul beast to obtain its genetic information from its genetic material. This genetic information is then compiled using life force or soul force and inscribed into a cluster of active soul power, forming a soul beast soul embryo. As long as soul or life force is continuously injected, it can be nurtured, similar to soulifying a living soul beast and obtaining its soul in one step."

Everyone:?
what?
They can understand the soul and the life force.

I understand embryos too.

But what is that genetic information?
“When two dragons unite, their offspring will naturally be dragons; when two people unite, their offspring will be human,” An Zhen said, then his tone suddenly turned icy cold. “Afterward, I will build biological research institutions for the empire, but I will prohibit all organizations and individuals outside of these biological institutions from conducting research in this area.”

Genetic editing is terrifying; it's a forbidden method that defies the laws of nature. Besides exacerbating social inequality, it will create more instability and even fundamentally alter the very concept of humanity. Human greed is uncontrollable; who wouldn't want their offspring to be a genius? Therefore, absolutely rational and cold laws must be used to prohibit such things from happening.

This thing is like a Pandora's box.

"Once discovered, the punishment ranges from life imprisonment to execution on the spot, or even confiscation of property."

Everyone's hearts tightened immediately.

Is it that serious?

Subconsciously, he recalled the purges carried out by the Douling Heavenly Soul and the three great empires of Xingluo.

The blood-stained blade quelled everyone's curiosity.

I'm curious, but I don't want to die because of my curiosity.

“Let’s get back to the topic of artificial souls,” Anzhen said.

"In order to promote this great invention that benefits Soul Masters and even resolves the conflict between humans and Soul Beasts, I plan to establish the Soul Spirit Tower. On the one hand, we will cooperate with the Department of Biological Research to continue to research artificial Soul Spirits. Currently, the upper limit for artificial Soul Spirits is 99,999 years."

Rather, it would be more accurate to say that the very first one they developed pushed the timeline to 99,909 years.

The boss is indeed a boss.

Regarding the 100,000-year-old ones, Professor Electrox said that we still need to study 100,000-year-old soul beasts before we can begin more successful research.

"On the other hand, and most importantly, it provides soul spirits for soul masters."

Charging a fee is definitely necessary; it's part of the empire's economic cycle. However, considering the number of low- and mid-level Soul Masters, the Ministry of Finance will adjust the pricing based on the current economic situation of this group. Further research will focus on cost reduction. After all, as a product intended to be promoted throughout the Soul Master community and even completely replace Soul Rings generated by Soul Beasts, it must be affordable for Soul Masters. "Compared to traditional Soul Rings, artificial Soul Spirits have a significant competitive advantage." With that, An Zhen raised her hand, and a colossal creature instantly appeared in the hall, nearly ten meters tall. Fortunately, the hall was high enough. Its entire body was covered in dark golden fur, with dense Soul Power flowing across it. A pair of incredibly long arms hung at its sides, dark golden blades gleaming with metallic luster, looking extremely dangerous and sharp. The muscles bulging on its arms and body resembled small mounds of earth.

The moment it appeared, many people in the hall instinctively showed fear and retreated involuntarily. Powerful forces burst forth, and even ordinary titled Douluo and super Douluo showed great vigilance, as if they had encountered a very terrifying enemy.

"Dark...Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!?" A trembling voice revealed utter panic.

It's important to understand that a ten-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is comparable to an ordinary hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast. This bear's cultivation is clearly more than ten thousand years old, and many of them are Soul Douluo, so how could they not be terrified?

"Silence!" Jing Hongchen stood up, coldly sweeping his gaze over the panicked crowd. "Can't you see where you are?"

"..."

"right."

Seeing the councilors seated in the front row, everyone felt a sense of relief. Even if this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, judging by its size, was less than 100,000 years old, even the 400,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear from the Star Dou Great Forest would be nothing more than a meal here; even a group of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts wouldn't escape its fate. As for the somewhat embarrassing behavior just now, someone in the position of a leader of a faction has a pretty good tolerance for losing face, and besides, it wasn't just one person who made such a fool of themselves.

"Get down to the side," An Zhen commanded the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear spirit.

The enormous dark gold dinosaur claw bear spirit came to life. Its beastly eyes showed no ferocity, and it obediently lay down to the side of the hall, looking quite docile.

"Is this the Soul Spirit?" The councilors curiously examined the dark gold Terrorclaw Bear. Some of them had seen An Zhen's Soul Spirit before, but the Ice and Snow Emperors rarely appeared in front of others in human form.

"It looks just like the real thing." Xuanzi stepped forward and reached out to stroke the huge bear's head. The dark gold dinosaur didn't resist; it just lay there quietly, its beastly eyes scrutinizing the person in front of it.

Seeing this, many people immediately started doing it.

Putting aside the curiosity about spirits, simply fighting the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is an unforgettable experience, extremely rare in the entire history of humankind.

"Very docile," Old Mu remarked.

“This is the first competitive point for artificial soul spirits,” An Zhen said. “They are very docile. As we all know, after a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast dies, if a human wants to absorb the soul ring of the soul beast, they must face the resentment of the soul beast. After all, what soul beast would willingly be killed by a human? This requires a lot of mental strength and is very dangerous. Even in advanced academies, there are cases every year where students are killed by the resentment of soul beasts.”

"But artificial souls won't have this problem, except for a few failed creations. Although they won't cooperate as readily as soul beasts that are willing to sign a soul contract with humans, at least they don't face the risk of fighting against resentment."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded silently.

That's really good.

They had all experienced the same anxieties their juniors felt when absorbing the spirit rings of ten-thousand-year-old spirit beasts. Even knowing their juniors were exceptional and the spirit beasts' ages had been carefully selected to ensure there were no theoretical problems, there was still a risk of failure, and no one wanted that to happen.

"Furthermore, a ten-year soul spirit can provide one soul ring, a hundred-year soul spirit can provide two soul rings, a thousand-year soul spirit can provide three soul rings, and a ten-thousand-year soul spirit can provide four soul rings."

"And the advantages of the soul are not limited to this."

“Souls can also fight, although they use the energy of a Soul Master, so it’s like having an extra helper.”

"By purchasing soul spirits, there's no need to go to the gathering places of soul beasts. You don't have to risk losing your life or worry about the soul beasts lurking in the shadows. Every year, even with elders accompanying them, there are still many cases of soul masters losing their lives in the gathering places of soul beasts. In the territory of soul beasts, the dangers that may occur are unknown."

"And even so, after a hard search, you may not be able to find a suitable soul beast. Either the attributes don't match, or the soul beast's age is not enough, or it exceeds your limit. Even if there are maps of the distribution of soul beasts in the past, and even if soul beasts have a sense of territory, you can't expect them to stay there forever. What if a soul beast gets killed or eaten in a conflict with another soul beast? Sometimes a search can take at least a month, and even then, you may not be satisfied."

"But when you come to buy soul spirits, you can choose from a variety of types. The age of the soul beasts is marked there, and you can even customize them in advance. As soon as your descendant awakens his martial soul, you can reserve the soul spirits that he will need to absorb in the future."

Safety, safety, and more safety!

It is not only safe and convenient, but also provides additional combat power.

"The only thing you have to pay is some money and the mental energy required to absorb the soul."

“It’s exciting,” Ning Yunzhi said, her eyes shining with anticipation.

Their biggest fear is that danger will occur.

Although the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School had long since attracted many other types of Soul Masters, and each disciple was accompanied by a powerful figure when acquiring Soul Rings, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda truly lacked any combat capability. In the event of danger, it was utterly defenseless. This situation only changed later with the arrival of Soul Guidance Devices from the Sun Moon Empire, but the risks still remained. (End of Chapter)
