Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 379 The Chosen Working Class, Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao
Zhou Sichen was somewhat disappointed that the Evil Emperor had agreed to the contract.

Because of this, he will lose a top-tier head soul bone with spiritual attributes.

He now has all the soul bones for his limbs, and is only missing the most important soul bones for his torso and head.

Originally, if the Evil Emperor had not agreed to the contract, Zhou Sichen would have not hesitated to gather a group of people to beat him up, kill the Evil Emperor, and absorb his soul rings and soul bones.

The Evil Emperor is a tyrannical ruler with nearly 800,000 years of cultivation, and his head soul bone must contain power that drives all soul masters in the Douluo Continent crazy.

In particular, the spiritual power that integrates the power of space and time, if it could be transformed into one's own, Zhou Sichen's spiritual power level could probably directly touch the threshold of the god level.

But now that the other party has agreed to the contract, Zhou Sichen naturally has no need to go all out. After all, the Evil Emperor's strength is second only to Di Tian, ​​and his potential for future improvement is enormous.

This guy's ultimate move perfectly combines mental power, the power of time, and the power of space, which shows how powerful the Evil Emperor's talent is.

With such an assistant by his side, Zhou Sichen will have a powerful henchman to deal with either the Holy Spirit Cult or the Sun Moon Empire in the future.

The Evil Emperor has been entrenched in the Demon Forest for hundreds of thousands of years, and his prestige is unparalleled in the Sun and Moon Empire, making him a figure of great fear to everyone.

His signature move, "Light of Time and Space," is arguably one of the most bizarre and deadly techniques in the Douluo Continent.

The Evil Emperor seemed to see through Zhou Sichen's thoughts, a hint of arrogance flashing in his single eye: "What? Feeling like you've been taken advantage of?"

Zhou Sichen raised an eyebrow, a meaningful smile playing on his lips: "What do you think? A top-tier mental-type head soul bone with a lifespan of 790,000 years, unique in the entire continent."

"It's just a pity that some people probably won't have the chance to use their soul bones to verify the meaning of 'top-tier'."

The Evil Emperor snorted coldly, his massive body swaying slightly in place, the surrounding air rippling with subtle spatial folds due to his emotional fluctuations.

Of course he knew what Zhou Sichen was thinking.

If he were in Zhou Sichen's position, he would probably have already launched a full-scale attack regardless of the consequences.

But it was this restraint that made him take the human in front of him more seriously.

"Keep your petty thoughts to yourself." The Evil Emperor's voice was neither cold nor warm: "I am not so low as to submit to others just to survive."

As he spoke, the Evil Emperor casually offered a sophistry: "Choosing to form a contract with you is simply because... following your path is more interesting than trying to break through to godhood on my own."

Zhou Sichen neither agreed nor disagreed.

He knew the Evil Emperor's arrogance; this guy didn't even put Di Tian in his eyes.

If it weren't for the strength I displayed and those mind-blowing memories, we would probably already be locked in a life-or-death struggle.

In the memories that Zhou Sichen showed to the Evil Emperor, he was either standing side by side with Di Tian in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, or discussing the continent's situation with Xuan Zi and Du Busi on the top floor of the Spirit Pagoda.

There were even earth-shattering scenes of slaying the divine officials Niu Tian and Titan from the God Realm... Every scene constantly challenged the Evil Emperor's preconceived notions.

"That's good." Zhou Sichen smiled. "There aren't many partners in the entire Douluo Continent who can be recognized by Di Tian, ​​and you are one of them."

The Evil Emperor's single eye suddenly contracted. Mentioning Di Tian, ​​his aura noticeably sharpened: "Don't compare me to him."

"He only benefited from his dragon bloodline. In terms of true talent, when have I ever lost to my ability to fuse the power of spacetime and spiritual power?"

Zhou Sichen found his defiant attitude amusing: "Oh? Then tell me, what makes you think you can beat him?"

"With the light of spacetime that I control!" The Evil Emperor's voice suddenly rose, and visible ripples of spiritual energy surged around him: "With the power I carved out of this harsh environment of the Demon Forest! With..."

"You were easily trapped by me just now?" Zhou Sichen interrupted calmly, his tone composed yet every word piercing.

The Evil Emperor's aura faltered instantly, a hint of annoyance flashing in his single eye, yet he was unable to refute it.

In that brief exchange just now, Zhou Sichen's golden giant form, which combined multiple extreme attributes, truly put him under unprecedented pressure.

"That's because I didn't go all out," the Evil Emperor said stubbornly, but unconsciously he concealed his aura.

However, he was telling the truth. If the Evil Emperor were to use all his power, Zhou Sichen might not be his match.

Zhou Sichen smiled and didn't provoke him any further.

He knew that dealing with such an arrogant and proud individual was less effective than guiding them than confronting them head-on.

"Alright, let's put the contract aside for now. You just said you wanted to fight Di Tian to the death?"

Mentioning this, the Evil Emperor's eyes lit up again: "That's right! I want the entire continent to know who the true number one ferocious beast is!"

“Okay.” Zhou Sichen nodded, but his tone carried a condition: “But I will not make decisions for Di Tian.”

"If he agrees, I'll guarantee your life. After all, a dead Evil Emperor can't work for me."

Upon hearing this, the Evil Emperor stopped dwelling on it: "You said it yourself, and I will definitely snatch the title of Beast God from Di Tian when the time comes."

Zhou Sichen smiled and said, "Since you have agreed to the contractual cooperation, I will also give you a gift. You are about to face the next Heavenly Tribulation. When you form a contract with me, I will directly help you break through 800,000 years of cultivation."

The Evil Emperor was somewhat excited upon hearing this: "Is there such a good thing?"

Zhou Sichen nodded: "I have no reason to lie to you."

Upon hearing this, the Evil Emperor no longer hesitated. Since that was the case, let's begin. In any case, he would be free after the contract was signed, so it would be the same sooner or later.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sichen deactivated his Martial Soul True Body and Gold-level Awakening. After his body returned to normal, he landed directly with the Evil Emperor and entered a huge underground space.

This is a space created by the Evil Emperor using his immense spiritual power and spatial power, making it one of the safest places on the Douluo Continent.

This is not the surface of the Demon Forest, but an underground space that was forcibly carved out.

Above them was a dome, condensed with spiritual energy, emitting a soft, pale purple light.

The ground beneath my feet is solid and made of special energy; with each step, I can feel a slight tremor in the space.

The surrounding rock walls are inlaid with countless crystals that shimmer with a faint light, continuously absorbing the primordial energy of heaven and earth from the outside world.

"This is... something you created using your mental and spatial powers?" Zhou Sichen asked, somewhat surprised.

The Evil Emperor's true form has disappeared, replaced by a three-meter-tall, one-eyed middle-aged man.

The black robe was embroidered with intricate patterns, and although it had only one eye, it seemed to be able to see through the past and the future.

Although he has only one eye, he looks extremely dignified and domineering, not intimidating at all, but rather very charming.

He glanced at Zhou Sichen indifferently: "Of course, I am the Evil Emperor."

Zhou Sichen rolled his eyes upon hearing this and sat down cross-legged: "I need to recover my soul power first. You should digest what I showed you. We might need your help with the Spirit Pagoda later."

The Evil Emperor nodded: "Alright."

Zhou Sichen sat cross-legged to recover his soul power, seemingly without any defenses, but Electrolux kept his eyes fixed on the Evil Emperor.

If this guy makes any unusual move, Zhou Sichen can react in the next moment.

The Evil Emperor did not make any unnecessary movements and was genuinely pondering the questions in the memories Zhou Sichen had given him.

In the memories that Zhou Sichen gave to the Evil Emperor, there were memories of Zhou Sichen chatting with Di Tian, ​​Xuan Zi, and Du Busi, among others.

Zhou Sichen explained that the Spirit Ascension Platform, part of the future soul system planned by the Spirit Transmission Tower, requires a vast amount of mental energy for computation and assistance, and must be integrated with soul guides, among other things.

At that time, Di Tian said that Xie Di was an expert in this field and was proficient in the ways of time and space. He was simply a chosen worker.

They also suggested using the Evil Emperor's soul rings and soul bones to enhance their strength, or forming an alliance and using the Book of Contracts to form a contract, which would also be a great help.

When the Evil Emperor saw this part of his memories, he was extremely displeased, which is why he made the request to fight Emperor Tian to the death.

Zhou Sichen's answer was equally explosive: either the Evil Emperor would agree to cooperate, choose a contract, and then let him help with the subsequent construction of the Spirit Pagoda.

Either Zhou Sichen leads his men to kill him directly, absorbs the soul ring and soul bone, and then comes to deal with him himself...

At this moment, the Evil Emperor is considering how to build the Spirit Ascension Platform and how to pass on the soul, based on the memories provided by Zhou Sichen.

The Soul System was quite amazing to the Evil Emperor, but he was very receptive to it and had already directly adopted it into his identity.

There's really no other way; you can't help but immerse yourself in the role. Compared to becoming a soul ring or soul bone, being a chosen worker and taking the fast track to godhood is obviously a better choice.

So for the Evil Emperor, there's really nothing to worry about, since the outcome is good, and the process seems even more exciting!

"Is this guy trustworthy?" Electrolux's voice echoed in Zhou Sichen's mind, tinged with a hint of wariness.

As a former undead scourge, he had a natural sensitivity to these powerful psychic beings. "Whether you believe it or not is unimportant," Zhou Sichen replied, "What's important is that he has reasons to cooperate."

He knew all too well the Evil Emperor's weakness: his desire for godhood.

Electrolux remained silent for a moment, saying nothing more, but instead focused his senses to the extreme, keeping a close watch on the Evil Emperor's every move.

The Evil Emperor seemed completely unaware of this, or rather, utterly indifferent.

He walked to a suspended platform in the center of the space, sat down cross-legged, and slowly closed his one eye.

The memories that Zhou Sichen had just transmitted to him surged through his mind like a tide, especially the parts about the Spirit Pagoda and the Soul Spirit System, which shocked even this old monster who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years.

"The Ascension Platform... uses spiritual power to construct a virtual space, allowing the soul to grow within it?" The Evil Emperor's consciousness darted through his memories, the conversation between Zhou Sichen and Di Tian echoing clearly in his mind.

“That guy Evil Eye has top-tier mental strength and spacetime power, so he’s the perfect person to be in charge of the computing core of the Spirit Ascension Platform.”

Di Tian's voice carried a hint of teasing: "He just has a bad temper, but a beating should make him behave."

"Or maybe we could form a contract directly? A 790,000-year-old spiritual soul, just thinking about it is exciting." Xuanzi's voice was full of anticipation.

“A contract is indeed possible.” Zhou Sichen’s voice was calm and clear: “Killing him would certainly grant me a top-tier spiritual power soul bone, but it would also tie up my time. Which is more important? It would be better to let the Evil Emperor be this chosen worker.”

The Evil Emperor's consciousness suddenly froze, his single eye snapped open, and his eyes blazed with fury.

Well, these guys actually considered themselves as a "backup plan" all along?
One minute they're saying they want to beat me up, the next they're saying they want a contract—it's utterly absurd!

He took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his anger.

The memories continued to flow backward, and when he saw Zhou Sichen's words, "Either cooperate, or kill him himself," the Evil Emperor smiled instead.

This guy is much more direct than Di Tian and his gang.

"Soul system..." The Evil Emperor closed his eyes again and began to carefully sort through this information.

He had to admit that the concept of this system did indeed overturn the traditional relationship between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts.

In the past, soul beasts were either hunted for their soul rings or used as human medicine, but the soul spirit system provides a third path.

It exists in another form, coexisting with Soul Masters, and even breaking through bottlenecks with the help of human power.

“Interesting…” The Evil Emperor’s lips curled into a smile.

He thought of the plight of his own race. Although the Evil Eye Clan was powerful, it was difficult to reproduce. Each generation had to go through a brutal internal struggle before a king could be born.

If they could be integrated into the soul system, they might be able to find new hope for their race.

More importantly, the core technology of the Ascension Platform happens to be his area of ​​expertise.

Constructing a virtual space using mental power requires enormous computing power to maintain its stability.

Combining soul tools with spiritual power represents the ultimate application of the laws of space and time.

Zhou Sichen's description of him as a "chosen working person" isn't entirely wrong.

"The path to godhood..." The Evil Emperor's consciousness touched upon the part of his memories about the divine realm, and his breathing became slightly rapid.

"Fine," the Evil Emperor completely let go of his resentment: "So what if I'm a chosen worker? As long as I can become a god, what does this little bit of face matter?"

He began to sketch out the blueprint for the Spirit Ascension Platform in his mind: how to use mental power to construct multiple layers of space, how to adjust the flow of time to the most suitable level for the growth of souls, and how to use soul tools to reinforce the spatial barriers...

Countless thoughts burst forth like sparks, then quickly coalesced into a complete line of thought.

……

On the outskirts of the Demon Forest, at the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult.

A black fortress hidden in the mist is now shrouded in a suffocating silence.

The earth-shattering energy collision just now almost brought the entire fortress's defensive array to the brink of collapse.

Ye Xishui emerged from her secluded chamber, her long purple dress billowing without wind, her face bearing an unprecedented solemnity.

She looked up into the depths of the Demon Forest, where the air still seemed to hold the echoes of the battle that had just taken place.

A slight distortion in spacetime, mixed with a chilling spiritual power, made her feel a chill even with her level 99 Limit Douluo strength.

"Who exactly is that person?" Ye Xishui's voice carried a hint of doubt.

Having operated in the Demon Forest for many years, she was well aware of the power of the Evil Eye Tyrant.

That guy's mental power was enough to easily cover two-thirds of the Demon Forest, and his strength was enough to easily kill a Title Douluo.

Over the years, apart from her and Long Xiaoyao joining forces, no one has ever dared to be so presumptuous in front of this super being who ranks second on the list of the top ten ferocious beasts.

Long Xiaoyao, dressed in a black robe, stood beside Ye Xishui, his face equally grim.

He noticed the anomaly earlier than Ye Xishui and even tried to use his mental energy to investigate, but was directly repelled by a domineering force. If he hadn't retreated quickly, his mental sea would probably have been shaken.

"I don't know, but someone who can make the Evil Emperor use his full strength is definitely no ordinary person," Long Xiaoyao said in a deep voice.

"Did you feel that golden energy fluctuation just now? It seemed to have fused multiple extreme attributes, and it also seemed to have the power of the original martial soul. This kind of talent... has never been heard of in the entire Douluo Continent."

Ye Xishui nodded, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes: "If this person were on the opposite side, I'm afraid..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was clear.

The Holy Spirit Cult is currently making preparations in secret, and if such a variable disrupts its plans, the consequences could be disastrous.

Just then, the energy fluctuations deep within the Demon Forest suddenly receded like a tide, as if the earth-shattering battle had never happened.

The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the sunlight shone again on the forest, restoring peace to everything.

"This..." Long Xiaoyao was stunned: "Is it over?"

Ye Xishui also looked puzzled.

Given the personality of that evil-eyed tyrant ruler, if he wins, he will surely unleash an even stronger pressure to declare victory.

If we had lost, the Demon Forest would not be so peaceful now.

The only possibility is that the two sides have reached some kind of agreement.

"To make the Evil Eye Tyrant ruler stop voluntarily, and even potentially reach a cooperation agreement..." Ye Xishui's heart clenched: "Who exactly is this person?"

She suddenly remembered the intelligence she had received not long ago: the Spirit Pagoda on the original Douluo Continent had been making frequent moves recently, and its mysterious tower master had used swift and decisive means to integrate various forces on the continent.

There are even rumors that Di Tian, ​​the Beast God of the Star Dou Great Forest, and Xue Di, the leader of the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, are in cahoots with that mysterious Tower Master...

Is it...

"Impossible, right?" Ye Xishui shook her head subconsciously.

That mysterious tower master was just a Soul Master. Even if he was a level 99 Limit Douluo, how could he possibly have the strength to contend with the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord?

Even to make the other party bow down?
But once this idea takes hold, it grows wildly like a vine.

“If it really is him…” Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao exchanged a glance, both seeing deep apprehension in each other’s eyes.

"No matter who it is, let's not get involved for now." Long Xiaoyao made a quick decision: "You know the temper of the Evil Eye Tyrant. If we investigate rashly and anger him, it will be a loss."

Ye Xishui nodded in agreement.

She waved her hand, and a black figure appeared silently in front of her.

"Investigate whether any unfamiliar, powerful Soul Masters have recently entered the Demon Forest, especially... the people from the Spirit Pagoda."

"Yes." The shadowy figure acknowledged the order and vanished into the mist in an instant.

Ye Xishui looked into the depths of the Demon Forest again, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

She had a premonition that the landscape of Douluo Continent was about to undergo a dramatic change because of this incident.
