Douluo Continent: What should I do if I don't have a cheat system?

Chapter 224 Perfecting the Rules, Understanding Life and Death

After the rules exchange meeting, the three returned to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Previously, their discussions were mostly theoretical; now Jerry is going to start conducting his own experiments.

Once you understand the rules, you can use them directly, but most people find it difficult to understand the rules.

Jerry had studied formations and knew that formations were originally created for those who did not understand the rules. Therefore, Jerry planned to use the rules to deduce formations in reverse.

The first thing we did was optimize the spirit-gathering array to increase the speed of spirit gathering.

Because this time we came into contact with the rules of space and time, we also applied these two rules to the spirit gathering array.

Jerry believes that the current spirit-gathering array is the perfect one.

First, the speed of gathering spirits is increased by 300%, and you can choose to gather spirits with single or multiple attributes.

Then the space of the spirit gathering array was optimized so that more soul power could be contained in the same space.

The upper limit of gravity has also been adjusted; now the maximum gravity can reach 1200 times.

Of course, time acceleration is indispensable. Jerry's understanding of the rules of time has now reached 20%, so the maximum ratio can be set to 1:2000. One day outside is equivalent to 2000 days inside, which is five years, five months, and twenty-five days, or five and a half years.

However, Jerry has hidden the time acceleration feature; it requires identity verification before it can be activated.

After all, time acceleration has been activated, and others don't know it. They go in for a day, and then their five and a half years of lifespan are gone.

The lifespan of animals and humans in this world is limited, and so is that of plants, but their lifespan is the longest, truly reaching 100,000 years.

Therefore, this accelerated time can play a very important role in the cultivation of medicinal materials.

Upon arriving at the herb field, one finds many little fairies tending to it, but the Fairy Queen is not present; she is probably comprehending the rules.

He contacted the Fairy Queen directly with his divine sense and told her that his clones were currently doing other things, asking her to send out his clones to look after the herb field.

Because he needed to set up a time array, Jerry told the fairies to step back; their lifespans were limited and couldn't be wasted here.

Therefore, the herb field can only be cared for by the Fairy Queen's clone.

The newly developed spirit-gathering array was directly set up on the medicinal field, condensing eight kinds of soul power attribute facilities, eliminating gravity, and accelerating time by 2000 times.

To prevent this place from absorbing too much soul power and causing a decrease in the overall soul power concentration of the Star Dou Great Forest, Jerry had one of the Fairy Queen's clones transform into a pillar supporting the sky and then placed in the medicine field to convert soul power.

The matter of the herb field was handed over to the Fairy Queen's clone, and Jerry arrived at Soul Beast City.

The original small village has now grown to the size of an ordinary town, so the city was named Soul Beast City.

After finding an open space, Jerry began building training rooms, constructing a hundred in one go. He then summoned the Silver Dragon King Di Tian and the others, explained how to use the training rooms, and handed them over to them for management.

However, he was only given the identity and permissions of the Silver Dragon King, which allows him to adjust time acceleration. He usually keeps time acceleration at 10x, but if there is a special need and Jerry is not around, the Silver Dragon King can also activate it.

The purpose of this training room surprised even Di Tian and the others.

They have just transformed into demons, and their soul power has not yet fully recovered. This cultivation room undoubtedly saves them a lot of time. Moreover, as long as their lifespan can withstand it, their strength will increase significantly after cultivating inside.

The acceleration of time is extremely useful; it can save a lot of cultivation time and rapidly improve the strength of cultivators throughout the world.

With the soul beasts dealt with, human society certainly can't be neglected. Humans have the shortest lifespan, but they are also the fastest at cultivating.

After returning to Wuhun City and informing Qian Daoliu, he began to renovate the cultivation tower.

However, for humans, time acceleration was set to 10 times; they dared not set it too much, given their limited lifespan.

Don't underestimate this 10x. The cultivation tower already has abundant soul power, which is equivalent to accelerating the cultivation speed by 10 times. Now, with the time acceleration also activated by 10 times, the effect is multiplied, resulting in a 100x cultivation effect.

There are too many floating courtyards now, and Jerry is too lazy to set them up one by one. So he set up 100 separate cultivation rooms and gave Qian Daoliu, Bo Saixi, and Bibi Dong the identity and permissions to manage them themselves.

Then he arrived at his floating courtyard, which had seven cultivation rooms for his senior and junior sisters. Each of them had their own private cultivation room. After Jerry made some modifications, he explained the new uses to them.

Then he went to Chrysanthemum Douluo's courtyard. Now Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo live together, which saves Jerry the time of going to find Ghost Douluo again. After renovating the training room, he explained it to his master and Ghost Douluo, and then Jerry left.

However, after actually applying these rules this time, Jerry's understanding of them has deepened.

Jerry waved his hand and used spatial cutting to create a crack in the space in front of him. He waved his hand a few more times and cut out a door.

The space at the entrance is very unstable, with turbulent spatial currents everywhere.

He used his divine sense to sense the area, and then began to release spatial locking, directly locking onto a region 1000 million kilometers inside the entrance. Once this region was spatially locked, the spatial turbulence within it ceased.

In a very spacious space, Jerry began to use the eight basic rules, and then the earth, mountains, and rivers began to appear in the space.

I threw in some plant seeds, and then used the time acceleration rule. Soon, the seeds began to take root and sprout.

"Jerry, you've opened up a secret realm." The voice of the world's consciousness suddenly appeared in Jerry's mind.

"I'm just giving it a try. It seems the secret realm is actually quite simple," Jerry said.

"Jerry, you can open up the secret realm, but could you let me control it? That way, the secret realm will be connected to the world, and the life born in the secret realm will be recognized by the world, and then we can freely go out into the world." The world consciousness said sincerely, its eyes sparkling with expectation and longing.

"Yes, that's perfect. I was wondering whether to let living beings live in the secret realm, but now I can rest assured."

"Hmm, the secret realm isn't large. I'll be able to take control of it soon. Wait a moment," the world consciousness said.

A moment later, the world consciousness returned to Jerry, and the secret realm was under their control.

"Jerry, we have complete control of the secret realm now. You can cancel the door opened by spatial cutting. This secret realm is now equivalent to a subordinate space of the world. With your mastery of spatial rules, you can directly sense it and enter at any time. If you want others to enter, you can set up a spatial teleportation array."

Jerry agreed. After all, once a door is opened, guards would be needed to prevent others from accidentally entering, and a teleportation array would be the perfect solution.

As for Jerry opening this secret realm, he didn't have any particular purpose at first. He just remembered that the former Killing City was located in a secret realm, and now that he had comprehended the laws of space, he decided to give it a try, and he succeeded.

Jerry entered the secret realm, and everything was much the same as the outside world, except that the sky lacked blue skies, white clouds, the sun, moon, and stars.

However, these were all minor matters to Jerry. Using the laws of darkness and light, he created night and day in this secret realm, and using the rules of water and lightning, he created clouds in this world.

Then, the time rule was used to give this secret realm four seasons. In each season, various laws changed and operated stably.

Jerry gradually changes this secret realm, slowly transforming it into a small world through the rules he has mastered.

Everything Jerry could think of was set up in this little world.

From a distance, it looks like a piece of land floating on the water, just like a small island.

The only difference between this small world and the rest of the world is that this small world is flat and round.

To prevent people from this small world from running to the edge of the world in the future, Jerry set up a teleportation array at the edge. Anyone who reaches the edge will be directly teleported to the mainland.

The gravity in this world is set to twice that of the outside world, and time is set to 2000 times.

Then Jerry summoned the Silver Dragon King and the Fairy Queen in their true forms, and the three of them came to this small world together.

"Jerry, there's nothing here except some plants," the Fairy Queen said.

"There is indeed nothing here right now, but I have set up a time flow rate of 2000 times. I brought you here to accelerate your comprehension of the laws. We should do nothing and not interfere with this world; we should just observe."

After Jerry finished speaking, he led the two to a cloud in the sky, where he placed a floating courtyard.

The small world slowly began to change under a 2000-fold acceleration of time.

One year in the main world is equivalent to two thousand years in the smaller world.

Over two thousand years, the three of them devoted themselves to comprehending the rules of time, and finally grasped 30% of them. Now, time acceleration can reach 1:3000, and Jerry directly set the time flow rate of the small world to 3000.

Over the past two thousand years, because Jerry only placed plants in the small world, many plants were affected by the rules of the main world and directly transformed into soul beasts.

But Jerry ignored all of this. The three of them, while in the clouds, were trying to understand the rules of time and observing the small world.

Another year has passed in the outside world, while three thousand years have passed in the small world.

Jerry had clones outside, so nothing went wrong. Besides cultivating, the clones helped with various aspects of development.

In the three thousand years of this small world, many soul beasts have broken through to the level of one hundred thousand years. Some died under the lightning tribulation, some transformed into human form, and some successfully survived the lightning tribulation.

These transformed soul beasts became the first humans in the small world, but they are now somewhat like primitive people, knowing nothing.

When they saw some soul beasts being struck dead by lightning after breaking through 100,000 years, the Silver Dragon King and the Fairy Queen wanted to save them, but Jerry stopped them.

Over these three thousand years, Jerry had also comprehended 40% of the laws of time. After adjusting the flow of time in the small world, he instructed the Silver Dragon King and the Fairy Queen to continue observing.

However, this time Jerry made it clear that they would not interfere with the development of this little world; they were merely observers.

The Fairy Queen and the Silver Dragon King observed carefully how, as time passed, various forms of life were born and died, in a cycle that continued endlessly.

Another year has passed in the outside world, while four thousand years have passed in the small world.

Over these four thousand years, countless marine creatures have been born, reproduced, grown, and died.

Some marine creatures evolved amphibious forms and began to migrate to land.

As creatures ventured onto the mainland, they gradually evolved into various forms, with many settling on land and no longer returning to the ocean.

These creatures, which never returned to the ocean, slowly transformed into spirit beasts on land.

Significant changes have also occurred on land.

The soul beasts that first took human form have passed down their lineage from generation to generation and have become true humans, no longer related to soul beasts.

Until one day, after a human awakened his martial spirit on his own, more and more humans began to awaken their martial spirits.

Because it has been passed down for too many generations, the bloodline of the soul beasts is basically gone, so it is impossible to condense a soul ring.

Therefore, after they passively cultivate to level 10, they stop progressing.

Having gained immense power, they began to explore the forest.

The forest is home to many plant spirit beasts, whose strength is far beyond what these level ten humans can withstand. Therefore, those who went to explore the forest never returned.

The soul beasts approached the center of the land, and the first ones they encountered were plant soul beasts, and a battle broke out between the two sides.

Whether plant-based or animal-based, countless soul beasts perished in this battle.

Over the course of four thousand years, Jerry and his two companions have grasped 50% of the rules of time and accelerated time for five thousand years. Their first task is to change the rules of time in the small world.

These four thousand years have not only allowed for the understanding of the rules of time, but also for the improvement of other rules.

The three of them are now much more adept at using the rules.

Despite such a significant improvement, Jerry did not end his training.

Another year has passed in the outside world, while five thousand years have passed in the small world.

Over these five thousand years, the entire small world has changed.

Humans created their own writing and language, and perhaps influenced by the main world, the writing and language they eventually created were the same as those of the main world.

With written language comes the means of inheritance.

Humans learned to build houses, make clothes, cultivate crops, and cooperate.

One day, humans worked together to kill a hundred-year-old soul beast. At that moment, a soul ring appeared. A bold person reached out and touched the soul ring, and then the soul ring was absorbed. This human's strength broke through.

The method for further breakthroughs in strength thus spread throughout humanity.

More and more people began hunting spirit beasts, resulting in many deaths in the battles between the two sides.

Plant-based spirit beasts, caught between animal-based spirit beasts and humans, gradually became the vulnerable group.

Animal spirit beasts act alone, which is manageable against plant spirit beasts, but humans always attack in groups. As more and more humans break through to higher levels of strength, plant spirit beasts find it increasingly difficult to resist.

Soon after, some of the plant spirit beasts became more intelligent and ordered that the animal spirit beasts be left alone and allowed to enter the forest.

The animal spirits slowly advanced towards the center of the land and then came into contact with humans.

Compared to plant-based spirit beasts that cannot move, animal-based spirit beasts are more lethal.

The human population dwindled dramatically, and only by uniting together could they withstand the attack of the animal spirit beasts.

In the war between animal spirit beasts and humans, humans discovered that animal spirit beasts also have spirit rings, and that they can be eaten, and some of their hard parts can even be used as weapons.

After withstanding the attacks of the animal spirit beasts, humans initially remained on the defensive. However, many years later, the human population increased again.

Although human lifespan is short, human beings have a strong ability to reproduce.

With a large number of people, the center's resources became insufficient, so humans began to leave the defensive perimeter to fight against the soul beasts.

Because of the rapid pace of human cultivation, humans gradually launched a counterattack and reclaimed much of the territory.

The Silver Dragon King was happy to see the soul beasts suppressing the humans, but he was also saddened to see the soul beasts being suppressed by humans. Because of Jerry's obstruction, the Silver Dragon King did not help the soul beasts.

Over these five thousand years, the rules of time have been deduced to 60%, finally breaking through the 50% barrier.

Once time control reaches 60%, the changes are truly earth-shattering, because time acceleration is no longer 1:6000, but has reached 1:10000, a direct doubling of the improvement.

One day in the main world is equivalent to 10000 days in the smaller world, which is more than 27 years. Jerry speculates that as he comprehends the rules of time, he will eventually be able to achieve the effect of seeing ten thousand years in a glance.

Fourteen thousand years have passed since the birth of the small world. In these ten thousand years, Jerry and his two companions have witnessed many life and death events. They have finally come to understand the rules of death, although it is only 1%. But everything is difficult at the beginning, and it will become easier in the future.

When one comprehends the rules of death, one also unexpectedly comprehends the rules of life: there is birth and there is death, birth and death, from birth to death, from the beginning to the end of life, in every process, life and death go hand in hand.

After comprehending the rules of death and life, it was also directly transmitted to the world's consciousness.

The World Consciousness also came to offer its congratulations.

Don't underestimate the 1% rule of life and death. The 1% rule of life has led to more new life being born on the continent. With new life comes death. The 1% rule of death has also made the world more dangerous.

Because the world consciousness synchronized with the rules of death and life, there was an ancient god of death who was terribly tricked. He was a nine-tailed fox demon without a body that parasitized Hu Liena's martial soul.

With the world advancing, Hu Liena's cultivation became much easier, much to the delight of the Nine-Tailed Fox. This meant she could quickly reach level 100 and become a god, allowing her to be fully resurrected.

However, unexpected events often occur at this time, and things don't always go as planned. This unexpected event is that the world's consciousness synchronizes with the rules of death and life.

The Nine-Tailed Fox felt as if it were directly trapped within Hu Liena's martial soul by the rules of the world, unable to escape.

Moreover, the Nine-Tailed Fox can no longer absorb external energy. Its soul is slowly dissipating, and although it is very slow, at this rate, it will truly die in a thousand years at most.

The Nine-Tailed Fox is now completely trapped inside Hu Liena's martial soul, unable to contact the outside world, and is so angry that it fainted from crying inside Hu Liena's martial soul.
