Douluo Continent: Pioneers of the Era, Gods in Parallel

With a thought, a white light appeared on Zhou Yuan's body, his muscles bulged, and his whole person suddenly exuded a heavy, sacred, and solemn aura.

It was as if we were bathed in divine light.

Before obtaining its first spirit ring, a beast spirit cannot possess the body, but it can still release its spirit and enhance its own power. However, it cannot exhibit the obvious characteristics and appearance of a beast.

Zhou Yuan's first martial soul is the Holy Light Qilin, which greatly enhances his physical abilities compared to the Golden Armor Earth Dragon.

Although he appears to be physically weaker than Manqian, his strength far surpasses Manqian's when he doesn't unleash his martial spirit.

This is naturally due to the medicinal bath and whale glue.

Whale glue is easy to understand. Since the tribe is located by the sea and often hunts whale-like spirit beasts, and they believe in making use of all resources, it is natural that some people would make a brave attempt to use whale glue.

Then it was discovered that this stuff has a very good aphrodisiac effect.

In the tribal era, reproduction was of paramount importance. Because of this precious creature, tribes would often risk their lives to hunt whale spirits near the deep sea.

He found two pieces of century-old whale glue among his father's belongings. Before awakening his martial soul, he softened and consumed them little by little to strengthen his physique.

As for the medicinal bath, it was something he summarized based on the tribe's existing knowledge. Although he had only soaked in it four times so far, each time it brought him considerable improvement.

He originally intended to hand these things over to the tribe after he had gained sufficient power.

Unexpectedly, the tribe suffered such a calamity.

It wasn't that he wanted to hide anything; it was simply that in the tribal era, he dared not display anything too extraordinary, for fear that one day he would be tied to the sacrificial altar.

This kind of thing has happened before.

Therefore, he tries to hide himself as much as possible and not show off too much.

It's a last resort now.

With his martial spirit manifested, Zhou Yuan stepped forward and came to a stone that had just been separated from the one by Man Qian using his soul skill, and picked it up directly.

"this……"

Seeing this, the pride that had just risen in Manqian's heart instantly crumbled.

Even though he was a Soul Master, he didn't have the absolute power to move that stone when his Martial Soul was attached to him. He could only rely on his Soul Skills to separate it and move it more easily.

Zhou Yuan, who didn't even have a spirit ring, was already stronger than him.

Sit down!

"Zhou Yuan, how...how can you be so strong?"

Among the crowd, Shi Hao, who considered himself the strongest, was shocked.

His martial soul is the Thousand-Pound Ant King, and its greatest strength lies in its power.

"Put down what you're doing for now and come with me!"

Now that the tribe may very well be reduced to just these few people, Zhou Yuan no longer intends to hide.

Whether it's to gain their complete trust or to strengthen their power, it can reveal something.

Although the others didn't know what Zhou Yuan wanted to do, they still followed him and sat down in a circle.

"Caiwei, take out all the whale glue from the storage soul tool."

Zhou Yuan looked at Jiang Caiwei.

"Whale glue?"

Jiang Caiwei was completely baffled when she heard the name.

She really didn't know what it was.

Following Zhou Yuan's description, Jiang Caiwei took out all the whale glue from her storage soul tool.

There were more than a dozen pieces.

The previous owner of this storage soul tool was Jiang Caiwei's grandmother, who was the physician in charge of the entire tribe's medicinal herbs. Whale glue was also a kind of medicinal herb for the tribe, so it was normal to have it stored in this way.

The other four looked at Zhou Yuan's actions with great incomprehension. What was he doing?

Not only Man Qian and his group, but also everyone watching the light screen, whether on Douluo Continent or Sun Moon Continent, was very curious about what Zhou Yuan was going to do.

Some of the more intelligent people, recalling Zhou Yuan's extraordinary strength just now, had a vague idea emerge in their minds.

Among these people, some found it absurd, some hesitated, and some took immediate action to buy whale glue.

At this moment, Zhou Yuan is lighting a campfire to soften the whale glue.

The 100-year-old whale glue is still very easy to soften.

Ordinary flames will do.

"Shi Hao, take this. From now on, no matter what you face, try your best to maintain a meditative state and avoid making any unnecessary movements."

He handed a piece of softened, century-old whale glue to Shi Hao and then gave him instructions on the details.

"good!"

Although Shi Hao didn't know what Zhou Yuan wanted to do, he still trusted Zhou Yuan.

He then swallowed the softened whale gelatin in one gulp and began to try meditation.

Zhou Yuan actually wanted to prepare some water for Shi Hao to cool him down, but water resources were too precious for them at the moment, so they had to save as much as possible.

With his soul power protecting him, Shi Hao should have no major problems after consuming the softened century-old whale glue.

As time passed, Shi Hao's face gradually turned red, and his developing area began to show abnormalities.

But Shi Hao remained steadfast in his belief in Zhou Yuan's words, forcing himself to meditate and not think about anything else.

It took Shi Hao a full half hour to open his eyes.

"I...I can feel that my power has increased a lot, it seems even the flow of my soul power has become faster!"

After waking up, Shi Hao felt the changes in himself and was overjoyed.

"Some time ago, I learned from the high priest that he discovered that whale glue has other effects besides being an aphrodisiac."

"After softening, it can be taken to strengthen the body and bones, open up the meridians, and replenish the body's deficiencies."

"According to the High Priest, after taking a piece of century-old whale glue and refining it to fully absorb its power, one can increase the lifespan of the first spirit ring by about 100 years. Taking a second piece will have a reduced effect, increasing the lifespan of the spirit ring by about 50 years."

"In other words, after gaining the protection of soul power, before absorbing the first soul ring, consuming two pieces of century-old whale glue can increase the age of one's first soul ring by about 150 years. The tribe members have roughly determined through experiments that the absorption age of the first soul ring is about 400 years for beast martial souls and about 300 years for non-beast martial souls..."

"In other words, if it can be absorbed well after taking it, the first soul ring of a beast martial soul can try to absorb a soul ring that is five or six hundred years old."

"As for the Millennium Whale Glue, if absorbed well, it can probably increase the age of a soul ring by three to four hundred years. The effect of the second piece is still halved, and the third piece has no effect at all."

"As for the ten-thousand-year whale glue, it's best not to try it before you have a spirit ring."

"Aside from brute force, I don't recommend you take the Millennium Whale Glue. Its heat-inducing properties are difficult for those with weak wills or insufficient soul power to resist..."

Zhou Yuan slowly explained the situation to them, and as for the credit, he temporarily attributed it to the High Priest.

They are all the same age, and if he shines too brightly, it will be too discouraging for them.

"Zhou Yuan, you're amazing!"

"Zhou Yuan, can I also take whale gelatin?"

Upon hearing what Zhou Yuan said, the others immediately wanted to give it a try.

Previously, Manqian was smug because he was the only one among them with a spirit ring, but after learning all this, he felt more regret and annoyance.

How did he get his spirit ring so early?

Otherwise, the age of his first spirit ring could have been increased.

"It's just the first spirit ring, so it won't have a big impact."

"Take the 100-year-old whale jelly first, and when the 100-year-old whale jelly can no longer improve your condition, then take the 1000-year-old whale jelly."

Zhou Yuan noticed Manqian's disappointment and offered him two pieces of century-old whale glue while offering comfort.

"I……"

Upon seeing the whale glue handed to him, Manqian felt extremely embarrassed.

He had previously wanted to compete with Zhou Yuan.

"It's very likely that only we are left in the tribe. If we want to survive, we need to unite and become stronger together."

Zhou Yuan spoke in a very low voice.

He had previously communicated with Manqian and knew that he had witnessed the beast tide and was likely the only other person besides him who knew that the tribe had been destroyed.

"I'm not as smart as you. From now on, I'll do whatever you say."

Thinking of the tribe reminded Zhou Yuan of his father, and his mood immediately sombered.

Faced with the prospect of survival, his previous scheming was clearly foolish.

After receiving the whale gelatin, Mangan went to the side to soften it before consuming it.

Zhou Yuan then selected whale glue for the others, told them the precautions for taking it, and told Shi Hao that he should exercise for a while to improve absorption, and take the second piece of century-old whale glue a month later.

After giving everyone their instructions, Zhou Yuan also selected whale glue for himself.

Two pieces of top-quality ancient whale glue—naturally, they had to be added to their possession.

And that one and only piece of ancient whale glue.

"I never expected there would be a piece of ancient whale glue."

Zhou Yuan was quite surprised to see the largest and brightest whale glue among them.

He was able to tell the difference thanks to the tribe's good customs.

Because it was a primitive era, many things were unknown to the tribes.

Whenever something new becomes clear, I try to record it.

Despite living in a tribal era, the village has a considerable collection of books.

As for how books and paper came to exist, Zhou Yuan had asked the high priest. The reason was simple: someone in the tribe had a martial spirit that was a book.

On the Douluo Continent, there's one good thing: martial spirits are probably everything.

This both drives and restricts the development of the times.

Zhou Yuan put the ten-thousand-year-old whale glue into his pocket. He did not consume the ten-thousand-year-old whale glue immediately, but instead stood guard for the others at the entrance of the cave.

As Zhou Yuan explained the specific effects of whale glue and the claims about increasing the age of spirit rings, the Douluo Continent and the Sun Moon Continent were immediately abuzz with excitement.

They never imagined that whale gel, used as an aphrodisiac, would have such effects.
