Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Of course, Gu Yuena was also well aware that the Soul Spirit technology was ultimately just a stopgap measure that did not address the root cause of the problem.

If the problem cannot be solved at its root, that is, if the fundamental setting that the cultivation path of Soul Masters must rely on Soul Rings cannot be changed, then the conflict between Soul Beasts and Humans will never be completely resolved, and it will be difficult for the two to achieve true peaceful coexistence.

Nevertheless, Gu Yuena decided to first gain a deeper understanding of the technology.

Therefore, she dispatched Di Tian, ​​the Beast God of the Star Dou Great Forest, to Shrek Academy on behalf of the Soul Beast Clan to obtain detailed information on Soul Spirit Technology.

Shrek Academy was extremely enthusiastic about Di Tian's arrival and was very willing to cooperate with him.

After all, this was a good opportunity for both sides to promote the development of Soul Spirit technology, and Shrek Academy generously passed on its Soul Spirit technology to Di Tian without reservation.

However, after careful study, Gu Yuena temporarily put aside this technology.

Shrek Academy's statement was true; this technology does indeed still have many imperfections, especially the mysterious and complex soul contract.

Even someone as powerful as Gu Yuena felt at a loss when faced with this peculiar contract, finding it difficult to fully grasp its mysteries.

Because she could conclude that such a unique and strangely shaped contract had never appeared before in the Douluo Continent, and it was clearly knowledge from another world.

In light of this, Gu Yuena decided to adopt a wait-and-see attitude. She wanted to see how far Shrek Academy could develop this technology in the future and whether it could perfect the Soul Spirit technology for widespread adoption across the continent.

Not only did Gu Yuena pay attention to and study the Soul Spirit technology in depth, but Meteor also developed a strong interest in this novel Soul Spirit Contract and spent a lot of effort exploring it.

After careful consideration, he had to sincerely admit that the Soul technology was indeed a groundbreaking and highly advanced innovation.

Under the Soul Spirit technology system, Soul Masters only need to successfully fuse with one Soul Spirit to obtain several Soul Rings at once, which undoubtedly saves Soul Masters a great deal of time and effort in acquiring Soul Rings.

More importantly, the soul is not a static entity; it has the potential to grow.

This means that as the strength of the spirit itself continues to improve, the age of the spirit rings possessed by the spirit master bound to it will also increase accordingly.

It should be noted that on the vast Douluo Continent, those forces that possess secret techniques to increase the age of spirit rings are extremely rare.

Moreover, these secret techniques often have extremely stringent conditions and restrictions. The requirements for the strength of the practitioner and the rarity of the materials required are ridiculously high, making it difficult for these secret techniques to be popularized among the general public.

However, the soul spirit is completely different. For a soul master, as long as they cultivate their soul spirit with care, they don't need to go through all sorts of trouble to find those elusive methods to increase the age of their soul rings. Their soul ring age will naturally increase as their soul spirit grows.

In addition, the spirit has another remarkable characteristic—it can be passed down.

Just like precious soul bones, when a soul master unfortunately passes away, their soul spirit does not disappear. Instead, it can re-sign a contract with other soul masters, thus continuing to live in the world and play its role.

For major powers, the value of a soul spirit that can be inherited and whose soul ring age can be continuously increased is even greater than that of a soul bone.

It's like an inexhaustible treasure trove, continuously providing powerful assistance to the Soul Masters within the faction and enhancing the overall strength of the entire faction. However, while seeing the many advantages of Soul Spirit technology, Meteor also keenly sensed some potential hidden dangers.

From a human perspective, this technology is entirely beneficial, as it can comprehensively and significantly enhance the overall strength of the human Soul Master community, giving more Soul Masters the opportunity to break through their limits and reach higher realms.

Moreover, since Soul Masters do not need to frequently hunt Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Rings, this greatly reduces human hunting of Soul Beasts, allowing the Soul Master profession to continue for a longer period of time on the Douluo Continent.

This also buys humanity more time to explore new paths of cultivation and find more sustainable development directions.

However, from the perspective of soul beasts, soul spirit technology seems less friendly.

Once a soul beast signs a contract with a human and becomes a soul spirit, it means that it will lose its freedom and be enslaved by the human for life.

In some cases, they may even be passed down like family heirlooms, protected by a family or power from generation to generation.

For those soul beasts who cherish freedom and are naturally unruly, such a fate is undoubtedly unacceptable.

In reality, this technology may only be suitable for soul beasts whose lifespan is about to run out and whose lives are about to come to an end.

For these soul beasts, becoming a soul spirit at least allows them to prolong their lives and continue to exist in the world in another form.

However, for other spirit beasts in their prime who yearn for a free life, this is undoubtedly a heavy shackle.

In the short term, the widespread dissemination of soul technology can indeed alleviate the tense conflict between humans and soul beasts to some extent, and reduce the survival pressure faced by soul beasts.

However, Meteor knew the nature of humanity well. Over time, some greedy and selfish individuals would inevitably use the guise of researching soul technology to try and enslave more soul beasts to satisfy their own desires.

At that time, the already fragile relationship between humans and soul beasts will inevitably deteriorate further, and may even be on the verge of collapse.

Humans, whose strength has been greatly enhanced by the use of Soul technology, are likely to gain an absolute advantage in this conflict.

As a result, the soul beast race will face an even more severe survival crisis, and may even be in danger of extinction.

As the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena also vaguely sensed the complex problems hidden behind this technology.

Therefore, unlike the ferocious beasts such as Di Tian, ​​she did not blindly believe that soul spirit technology was the bright way out for the soul beast race to escape its predicament, and thus did not become unusually excited.

Instead, she remained calm and rational, adopting a wait-and-see attitude and did not choose to strongly support the promotion of this technology.

However, based solely on considerations for the continuation of the soul beast race, Shrek Academy was given some necessary assistance, including providing them with some soul beasts who volunteered to become soul spirits in order to prolong their lives. (End of Chapter)
