Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 151 Reflections on the Future of Soul Beasts

Gu Yuena has already placed the soul bones of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings right in front of him, so of course Old Huo won't refuse them.

The level of the Water and Fire Dragon King's soul bone was so high that Huo Yuhao couldn't even sense what age of soul bone it was.

In other words, judging the value of these two soul bones by their age is an insult to the two soul bones created by the Water and Fire Dragon Kings.

After all, even if the Water and Fire Dragon King were to die on Douluo Star, he could still resist the plane rules of Douluo Star, let alone condense any soul bones.

If it weren't for the absorption of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings' souls and final reserves by Gu Yuena, and the intervention of the plane's will, these two Dragon Kings wouldn't have been able to condense their left and right arm soul bones.

The sea of ​​spirit.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Bingbing, do you think Yuhao, a child favored by heaven and earth, could become a god even without us?"

It should be noted that, apart from her and Bingdi, Huo Yuhao's previous opportunities, such as the Life Gold, the 100,000-year-old immortal herb, and the soul ring, had little to do with the two of them.

At most, he would release some of his own essence to enhance his spiritual sea and increase the age of his spirit rings after Huo Yuhao's strength improved.

Moreover, Yuhao is too mature. He often has his own ideas, which is a good thing, but it makes him seem somewhat dispensable as a million-year-old soul beast.

That sounds a bit too sentimental, since from beginning to end, my goal has been to cultivate Yuhao into a god, and then enjoy eternal life with Yuhao. The current situation couldn't be better.

There were no life-or-death crises, and Yuhao's growth path was exceptionally clear. Even the person in the Star Dou Great Forest had been persuaded by Yuhao to become his friend.

All she had to do was lie peacefully in the Sea of ​​Spirit and wait for Yuhao to lead them to an easy victory.

Even the gods, like Tianmeng, don't feel so worried now. Yuhao seems capable of anything, and he possesses an echo that even he himself cannot fathom.

This time, Hyotei didn't pull out a small leather whip to beat Tenmu; instead, they nodded seriously.

"In fact, it can be said that it was because of Yuhao that we had the opportunity to come together with him and have a chance to become gods."

The two beasts didn't want to say anything now, because they realized they couldn't help Huo Yuhao much anymore.

Especially after Huo Yuhao absorbed the essence of the immortal herb, the rapidly rising soul power seemed to have no limitations on human soul masters, as simple as drinking water or eating.

Ice Emperor had never imagined that one day his soul bone would be able to accommodate four extreme attributes at the same time, and even the limitation of 500,000 years was broken with the help of Huo Yuhao.

Of course, I currently exist only in the form of a Wisdom Soul Ring, and 500,000 years doesn't prove anything. It has little to do with me, and there's no Heavenly Tribulation.

Electrolux was still recovering with the help of the Life Gold, and after such a long time, his consciousness was almost fully restored.

Therefore, they were unaware of the situation outside at this time.

"These two soul bones"

Gu Yuena handed it to Huo Yuhao, but after feeling it for a moment, he did not accept it immediately.

"Keep them here for now. I don't have the strength to absorb these two soul bones yet."

The soul bones of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings don't have high requirements for dragon bloodline, since no matter how high your bloodline is, it can't surpass that of the two great dragon kings. However, they have extremely strict requirements for physical fitness.

Although Huo Yuhao is currently able to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring, it would still be too difficult for him to absorb these two soul bones.

He planned to make a decision after he became a Soul Saint, since the Soul Bone couldn't be lost, and leaving it with Gu Yuena for now wouldn't cause any problems.

Just like the embryo of the Snow Emperor, after cultivating the secret techniques at the Body Sect this time, perhaps we can start thinking about the Snow Emperor.

Actually, Huo Yuhao had a better idea than the idea of ​​a soul spirit.

He will learn Elder Yi's necromancy. Is it possible to have Elder Yi form a contract with him, so that the soul master can improve his strength without killing the soul beast?
The soul spirit is a good solution, but the soul spirit must also give up its physical body. To put it bluntly, the soul beast's physical body still has to die first, which makes the relationship between the soul beast and the soul master asymmetrical and unfair.

Soul spirits are eternally bound to the bloodline of Soul Masters, making them similar to prisoners of the soul. Moreover, because soul spirits are more precious than soul bones, they can incite human greed and exacerbate the forced transformation of soul beasts, especially high-age soul beasts.

This is one of the reasons why, after the Spirit Pagoda was promoted, the hatred of soul beasts towards humans increased rather than decreased; to put it bluntly, it is not perfect.

If one does not absorb a spirit ring, or even if one researches and develops a spirit spirit, but the spirit spirit is not absorbed by the spirit master and occupies the spirit ring position, the spirit master's strength will not increase. This seems to be an unsolvable problem.

So, if one doesn't absorb a soul beast's soul ring, is it possible to establish a relationship between the soul beast and the soul master while maintaining the soul beast's physical body and soul?

This will undoubtedly touch upon the fundamental rules of this world.

However, now that he has Gu Yuena, the ruler of all soul beasts, and Elder Yi, the necromancer, by his side, if he can resolve the hostile relationship between soul beasts and humans and allow soul masters and soul beasts to coexist healthily, wouldn't that enable both sides to progress together?

Soul beasts are allowed to exist in the form of spirits, or rather, soul masters can capture them but cannot harm them. Soul masters help soul beasts grow, and soul beasts need to contribute their own strength to help soul masters improve their power, thus forming a virtuous cycle.

It's similar to Pokémon.

In the early stages, regardless of their innate soul power or martial soul, as long as a Soul Master can subdue a Soul Beast through their own abilities, they can gradually increase their strength by growing together with the Soul Beast. This sounds like a fantasy, but what if a magical contract were formed between the two?

Or perhaps we should wait until we are strong enough to break the limitation that Douluo Star can only increase its strength by acquiring a Soul Ring?

However, this raises many issues, such as the disparity in lifespan between soul beasts and humans. Despite humans spending decades or even hundreds of years nurturing them, soul beasts' lifespans don't increase much, let alone their strength.

Furthermore, after taming a soul beast, how does the soul beast share its abilities with the soul master, or how does the soul master increase their soul power by obtaining soul rings without hunting soul beasts?
And how should soul beasts exist? Should I research a magical contract to ensure that this relationship can be stabilized and not collapse?
The hostility between soul beasts and humans, and what happens to the soul beast if a soul master dies, and whether the soul beast can pass on its legacy.
In short, there are many things involved, and Huo Yuhao only has a general idea at the moment.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao was pondering and not planning to absorb the soul bones of the two dragon kings for the time being, Gu Yuena didn't say anything. She simply put them away and stuffed them into her somewhat wide chest pocket, which was her other-dimensional pocket.

Now that her injuries have mostly healed, which is even more helpful than the thousands of years she spent recuperating at the Lake of Life, she wants to help Huo Yuhao as much as possible.

She doesn't want to think about the soul beast race right now. Just like Huo Yuhao said before, it's wishful thinking to try to change the situation of soul beasts without solving the problem of the God Realm.

Top-down reforms may suit humans, but they are absolutely unsuitable for soul beasts, or rather, for this world, because the starting point and desired goals are different.

She wanted to create a world where even soul beasts could have an infinite future, but this vision was bound by the divine realm. So she could only do it from the top down; otherwise, if soul beasts couldn't become gods, it would all be empty talk.

That's right, she has become smarter during the time she spent with Huo Yuhao, which is something to celebrate and be proud of.

After the two left, Du Busi glanced at Gu Yuena, and then nodded meaningfully, as if he had thought of something.

This gaze made Gu Yuena feel somewhat uncomfortable, because Du Bu Si's expression was like that of an elder who was pleased with his junior.

"Should we consolidate our strength here, or should we go back to the Body Sect directly, or perhaps we can help you obtain your sixth spirit ring?"

Gu Yuena's current soul power level is the same as Huo Yuhao's, so it can only be assumed that she also obtained her own opportunity under that ice and fire spring.

"Let's go back to the Body Sect first, teacher. We've been here long enough. It's time to leave."

Huo Yuhao made the final decision. Those immortal herbs had already played their role, and his goal had been achieved, even far exceeding his expectations.

After replanting the immortal herb seeds and roughly resolving the issues with the Seven Absolute Flowers of Azure Phosphorus, there's nothing more they can do to help here now.

As for whether or not to leave a piece of the Life Gold in Sunset Forest to help the forest recover its vitality through the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, that requires further consideration.

"Alright, it's time to leave. Now that I'm back at the Body Sect, things will be lively at home."

Looking at his disciple's soul power level, Du Busi shook his head with amusement.

I originally thought that the little monsters of the Body Sect could put pressure on my disciple, but now it seems that Yuhao is more likely to put pressure on Aotian and the others.

It seems my little one is about to suffer the same blows that those kids at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy went through.

Hopefully, Yuhao can temper Aotian's temperament. His "I'm number one, everyone else is number two" mentality is unacceptable.

After resting for two days, the three set off for the Body Sect.

On the road.

Gu Yuena secretly transmitted her voice to Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, there are arrangements made by that deity in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. Won't what we're doing attract that deity's attention in the future?"

"No, a day in the God Realm is equivalent to a year in the mortal realm. We've been here for quite some time. It's as if the will of the plane is helping you recover from your injuries. Something must have gone wrong in the God Realm."

"Who knows? That deity is probably in a real bind right now."

The echo of [Destiny] has already subtly told Huo Yuhao something. If it were to harm him, [Destiny] would definitely give him a warning. And now that the [Destiny] bell pattern is becoming more and more powerful, what that means is self-evident.

"By the way, do you still need something like the Gold of Life?"

Gu Yuena understood the meaning behind Huo Yuhao's words, and she had the same thought.

"It won't be of much use. I can take a portion of the Life Gold from beneath the Lake of Life and place it under the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire to activate the earth vein energy of Sunset Forest and help the entire forest recover."

To be honest, seeing Sunset Forest in its current state, Gu Yuena had some feelings. Moreover, they had all benefited from this place, so it was only right to give back.

"Mm." Huo Yuhao nodded, and seeing that Gu Yuena understood what he meant, he didn't say anything more.

Taking from heaven and earth and giving back to heaven and earth, compared to those immortal herbs that don't help the whole world much, the restoration of the Sunset Great Forest to its former prosperity is a good thing for this world.

This can be seen as his compensation to Sunset Forest, hoping that it can slowly recover to the state it once was, a place suitable for humans and spirit beasts to live in.
