Douluo Continent: I ushered in this era

"Qiluo Tulip, take good care of these seeds; they are crucial to the future of the soul beasts," Chu Ci instructed.

"Yes, Lord Chu Ci!" Qi Luo Tulip replied respectfully. Chu Ci's ability to summon something that did not belong to this world so easily had quite frightened him.

"Also, Lord Chu Ci, you may call me Qi Luo from now on."

Chu Ci looked at Qi Luo's submissive appearance and nodded in satisfaction. "Very good! You should have done this a long time ago."

At this moment, several figures flew in from afar and landed on the spot. Chu Ci looked closely and saw that it was Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, and several other ferocious beasts.

“This is…” When Biji saw the many immortal herbs in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, she was surprised. There were no such herbs in the Realm of Departing Moon.

Could it be that the intense spatial fluctuations just now were to bring this in? That makes sense.

“Mr. Chu Ci, the four soul beasts have been selected,” Bi Ji said gently.

Chu Ci nodded slightly, then turned to look at Gu Yue, "Gu Yue, can you send a powerful dragon soul to guard the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye?"

“Otherwise,” Chu Ci glanced at the man next to Xiong Jun, whose skin was dry and withered, who looked like a dead tree branch, but whose eyes gleamed with a ghostly green light and exuded an eerie aura.

"Within a day, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes will be completely destroyed."

Gu Yue was well aware of the allure of immortal herbs to soul beasts, and soul beasts had little self-control. If they were not restrained, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well would probably be barren within two days.

"No need to adjust other dragon souls, the Water and Fire Dragon Kings will suffice."

With a gentle gesture, Gu Yue channeled the power of the Dragon God's core into the Water and Fire Dragon King.

The two dragon kings of water and fire roared to the sky, and the red and blue colors formed a great array that enveloped the Yin-Yang Eyes of ice and fire like a storm.

"Di Tian, ​​tell all the soul beasts not to approach this place, or they will bear the consequences," Gu Yue said calmly.

"Yes, my lord." Di Tian glanced coldly at the man beside Xiong Jun, who was none other than the King of Ten Thousand Demons. If we were to say which of the ferocious beasts coveted the immortal herbs the most, it would undoubtedly be him.

After settling into the Yin-Yang Well, everyone returned to the pavilion. Not long after, Bi Ji led the four chosen soul beasts over.

Chu Ci glanced up and his brows furrowed. There was a dark gold dinosaur, a jade swan, and two other unknown soul beasts that should have mutated.

Brigitte smiled gently and introduced, "I don't need to say more about the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and the Emerald Swan, do I?"

Chu Ci nodded, "A super soul beast that rightfully stands at the pinnacle of soul beast races."

“This one,” Brigitte pointed to a four-tailed fox with purple fur, “is called the Purple Spirit Celestial Fox. It is a benign mutation of the Celestial Fox and is intelligent from a young age with a strong learning ability.”

After introducing the horse, Biji pointed to the last one, a white-haired steed with wings on its back, "The Snow Moon Celestial Horse is a mutated soul beast that is rare to see in a thousand years, with extremely outstanding talent."

Chu Ci nodded, "Alright! Now that everyone's here, let's start refining the Transformation Pill."

"Jingle bells, jingle bells."

After a flurry of activity, Chu Ci set up four seventh-order alchemy furnaces.

The Wanli Flame spontaneously ignited and was divided into four parts, which were then placed in the alchemy furnace.

Chu Ci's soul power surged, and the Scales of God appeared behind him. With the infusion of soul power, four Ten-Thousand-Year Transformation Grasses gradually formed at one end.

"Phew—" Chu Ci let out a long sigh of relief, his face extremely pale. This was truly exhausting.

The Transformation Grass, along with several other herbs, was thrown into four alchemy furnaces. The Myriad Flames burned fiercely, and the alchemy process began.

The alchemy furnace operated autonomously, and gradually, the herbs dissolved into liquid, condensing into small water droplets.

"Quickly, each of you four drip three drops of blood into the alchemy furnace," Chu Ci suddenly urged.

The four soul beasts, including the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and the Emerald Swan, hurriedly dripped their blood into the alchemy furnace.

"Boom—" The furnace suddenly spewed out a serpent of fire, a violent reaction as blood merged with tiny water droplets.

Before long, the alchemy furnace gradually returned to calm, and a fragrance of elixir wafted out from it.

Chu Ci opened the alchemy furnaces one by one and handed the Transformation Pills inside to the corresponding soul beasts.

"After taking the Transformation Pill, you will have human bodies," Chu Ci said calmly.

The four soul beasts, including the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, exchanged glances and then looked at Bi Ji. After Bi Ji nodded, they all swallowed the Transformation Pill.

As the Transformation Pill entered their stomachs, its powerful medicinal force was released, and the four soul beasts roared, their bodies covered in pale golden light.

Gradually, the four spirit beasts began to change their shapes to resemble humans.

As the golden light faded, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear transformed into a burly man, the Emerald Swan into a graceful and beautiful woman, the Purple Spirit Fox into a handsome man with eerie eyes, and the Snow Moon Pegasus into a handsome man with a cool and aloof demeanor.

Chapter 204 Returning to the Temple of War Gods after a Long Time, Official Conferment of Titles

"How are you feeling?" Chu Ci asked.

The four newly transformed soul beasts were bewildered by the changes in their bodies. The beautiful woman, who was actually the jade swan, hesitated and said, "Why do I feel that she is somewhat different from the humans I have seen before?"

The spirit rings rose from beneath the Emerald Swan's feet, and then a strange scene unfolded: the number and color of the spirit rings began to change arbitrarily under the Emerald Swan's control, sometimes six, sometimes seven, sometimes purple, sometimes black, and sometimes red.

Emerald Swan said in surprise, "This spirit ring seems to be just for show, it has no effect whatsoever."

Gu Yue and the others looked on with curiosity. Chu Ci smiled slightly and explained, "The effect of the Transformation Pill is different from the transformation of your soul beasts after breaking through 100,000 years."

"When a soul beast breaks through 100,000 years and transforms into a human, its essence will become no different from that of a human. However, after taking the Transformation Pill, your essence will still be that of a soul beast. You will have a long life, and your growth will still be as difficult as that of a soul beast. You will still need to go through the 100,000-year Heavenly Tribulation."

"But you have human bodies, so you can practice meditation and use soul tools just like humans. In the future, your potential will undoubtedly far exceed that of ordinary soul beasts."

"That's great!" Upon hearing this, Di Tian's eyes lit up. He was already tempted by the idea of ​​learning human skills without having to abandon his soul beast nature.

Gu Yue asked worriedly, "Won't that make it easier to expose my identity?"

Chu Ci shook his head and said firmly, "Unless it is a Limit Douluo with the ability to see through the essence, no one can see through the soul beast after it has taken the Transformation Pill."

Gu Yue nodded in satisfaction. "That's good. I'll leave these four children to you."

Chu Ci nodded slightly, looked at the four transformed soul beasts, and said in a deep voice, "After I bring you into the human world, you must follow my arrangements in everything."

"Hmph, why should I listen to the orders of a human like you!" said the burly man who was actually the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

Upon hearing this, Xiong Jun's face darkened, and he cursed inwardly, "What an idiot!"

Chu Ci chuckled lightly, and the Myriad Flames ignited in his hand. "Why should I? Let me tell you why."

The sky was filled with golden-red flames that devoured several massive dark-gold claw-like beams, and the fiery phoenix feathers transformed into a storm of sharp blades that swept over the dark-gold direclaw bear.

A phoenix cried out, its feathers ripped through the sky, and the body of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear slowly collapsed to the ground.

The Heavenly Candle Armor faded from Chu Ci's body, transforming into heavenly candles that swirled around him.

Chu Ci placed one foot on the chest of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and coldly asked, "Follow my instructions in everything, understand?"

Chu Ci's right hand, which was behind his back, trembled slightly. Fortunately, this was only a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that was a little over 20,000 years old and had not yet adapted to the human body. Otherwise, even if it was careless, Chu Ci would not have been able to win quickly.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear lay on the ground, its body burning with pain. It looked around and saw that no one stood up to stop Chu Ci.

Even something as slow-witted as it was knew that resisting Chu Ci was wrong, so it could only say in a humble voice, "I understand."

"And you?" Chu Ci looked at the other three transformed soul beasts.

"We will follow Mr. Chu Ci's arrangements," the three Emerald Swans said in unison.

"Okay, what should I call you?" Chu Ci asked.

“Big Bear,” said the dark gold dinosaur below.

“Snow Moon,” Snow Moon Pegasus said coldly.

“Ziling,” said the cunning Purple Spirit Fox.

“Azure Moon,” the Emerald Swan replied gently.

“Okay,” Chu Ci nodded and moved his foot off Xiong Da’s chest.

……

Mingdu, the headquarters of the Chu Group, Chairman's Office.

“You’ll assign each of them a teacher, right? Okay!” Chu Tiannan said, looking at Chu Ci sitting opposite him.

Chu Ci stood up and said with a smile, "That's good. Dad, Palace Master Guan is looking for me. I'll go to the War God Palace first and then come home for dinner tonight."

"Okay, come back soon. Your mother has missed you terribly this past year!" Chu Tiannan said earnestly.

Chu Ci's eyes were full of tenderness. "Okay."

Before leaving, Chu Ci found Bi Yue and the other three and instructed them, "After I've found the right people for you, study hard. While I'm away, listen to Bi Yue and contact me immediately if you're unsure about anything."

"it is good!"

Of the four, Xiong Da studied forging, Bi Yue studied mecha repair, Xue Yue studied mecha manufacturing, and Zi Ling studied soul tools.

A year later, Chu Ci returned to the Temple of War.

"Palace Master Guan," Chu Ci said softly as he entered Guan Yue's office.

When Guan Yue saw Chu Ci, she smiled and said gently, "Chu Ci is here. Please find a place to sit down."

After the two sat down, Guan Yue first inquired about Chu Ci's gains from his year of travels in the Star Luo Continent.

Chu Ci naturally picked out what he could say, and as Guan Yue listened to his findings, she became increasingly satisfied with Chu Ci's performance.

"It seems that your year of travel has been of great help to you!" Guan Yue smiled with satisfaction.

"Indeed, I've grown a lot this year," Chu Ci replied with a smile. Of course, he's reached the Soul Emperor level; how could he not have grown a lot?

Guan Yue nodded slightly, opened the drawer, and took out a box and a piece of paper.

As Guan Yue opened the file bag, she said seriously, "Chu Ci, there are two things I wanted to talk to you about. We've already finished discussing the first one. Now, let's talk about the second one: your investiture ceremony."

Chu Ci straightened his expression and stood up. He knew that the main event was about to begin.

Guan Yue also stood up, took out a document, cleared her throat, and read the contents of the document aloud.

The document states that Chu Ci won the championship in the individual competition of the All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament of the Star Luo Empire, greatly promoting the prestige of the Federation, and therefore, Chu Ci is hereby awarded the rank of lieutenant.

After reading the announcement, Guan Yue opened the box, took out the badge and certificate inside, and said gently, "Although lieutenant is not a high rank, this is the highest military rank that Lao Chen can get for you. I hope you can understand Lao Chen's good intentions."

Chu Ci happily accepted the badge and certificate, his heart filled with joy. He had only won a competition and hadn't achieved anything, yet he had already been awarded the rank of lieutenant. What was there to be dissatisfied with?

"Of course I understand, Lord Guan. Please convey to Lord Chen that I will certainly not let him down."

"Okay, I will definitely pass it on in time," Guan Yue said with a smile.

“Um, Lord Guan, you see I’m already a lieutenant, so how about I form a company?” Chu Ci asked tentatively.

A hint of surprise flashed in Guan Yue's eyes. "Forming a company? The lieutenant can indeed form one, but it's very troublesome. The allocation of resources, the selection of soldiers, and so on are not things that a novice like you can handle. If you have any problems, just contact the troops under the War God Temple. If all else fails, you can also contact Yu Guanzhi."
