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

Chapter 242 A Couple Through a Thousand Lifetimes Join Forces to Research a New Route

Under this inexplicable attraction, Li Aiguo and Gu Yue quickly entered into marriage.

They lived together harmoniously. Many times, Gu Yue understood Li Aiguo's meaning with just a glance, which made Li Aiguo believe that he had found the right person and a true soulmate.

A year after their marriage, Gu Yue gave birth to a baby girl, whom Li Aiguo named Li Luoshui.

His love for his daughter was evident. Whenever he came home from get off work, he would hold her in his arms, and no one could take his precious daughter away.

Sometimes, Gu Yue would get a little jealous, but then she would think that her daughter was her alter ego, and she didn't need to be jealous of herself.

When Li Aiguo went to work, Li Luoshui began to take action on her own.

"It's so tiring to act like a child every day!" Li Luoshui said with dissatisfaction.

"What are you tired of? You're always being held by someone. All you have to do is eat and sleep!" Gu Yue said with dissatisfaction.

"Oh dear, you're jealous, aren't you? Hahaha, you're definitely the first person to be jealous of yourself."

"Shut up, or I'll send you back to school for retraining!"

"I won't do it again, I won't do it again, I was wrong!"

Every day after Li Aiguo went to work, Gu Yue and Li Luoshui would bicker to relieve their boredom.

Gu Yue was supposed to go to work, but Li Aiguo thought she should wait until her daughter was older, since the family wasn't short of money anyway.

As Li Luoshui grew up, she consistently achieved top grades. Li Aiguo also became more outgoing and would tell others that his daughter took after him and was naturally gifted in her studies.

Time flies. Li Aiguo is 70 years old and his life is coming to an end. His only regret is that his daughter has become a strong woman and is still unmarried and has not yet had a grandson.

Every time the topic of their daughter's marriage came up, his wife, Gu Yue, was very opposed. Moreover, Li Aiguo had memories of his past life, and there were many similar cases in his past life. So, he gradually stopped talking about it and decided to let things take their course.

Anyway, Li Aiguo felt that since his family was rich and his daughter was ambitious, he would support her for life if she didn't want to get married.

Gu Yue would certainly not let her daughter get married. That was her clone, and if she got married, wouldn't that be giving Jerry a cuckold's horns?

Many people came to visit him, and some arranged for him to go to the hospital for a check-up, but the result was that his body was aging naturally and he had no other diseases.

It's a pity that Li Aiguo, though not a man of many words, was very dedicated to his work and made many contributions to the country over the years. Unfortunately, he was in poor health and became bedridden before he was even seventy years old.

In just a few hours, it would be Li Aiguo's seventieth birthday. As if he had a premonition, he spoke to his wife and daughter about many things.

He had a vague feeling that his wife and daughter were not saddened by his impending death.

After undergoing a medical examination, Li Aiguo was diagnosed with natural aging and returned home instead of staying in the hospital.

Lying in his room, he could faintly hear his wife and daughter talking and laughing.

But he was powerless to pursue these things; he was now completely weak and didn't want to move at all.

At the last minute, his wife arrived with their daughter. Li Aiguo tried to open his eyes one last time to see his wife and daughter, but his eyelids wouldn't cooperate.

"You have one minute left, daughter, come and keep your father company!"

"Ugh, even now, he still expects me to call him 'Dad.' He's taken advantage of me for so many years. I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget."

"We've been calling him that for so many years, is this the last time? He's about to leave."

Li Aiguo, with his eyes closed, felt extremely angry after hearing his wife and daughter's conversation.

What do they mean by chatting?

Isn't Luoshui my daughter?

I've been cheated on?

He wore it his whole life?

Gu Yue, why are you doing this to me? Why?

Li Aiguo was still roaring in his heart, he had never been so angry in his life, but the time came and the last trace of life in Li Aiguo's body disappeared.

In the following days, Gu Yue and Luo Shui made arrangements for his funeral. Many people came, basically all the prominent figures, to see Li Aiguo off. It was a grand affair.

Gu Yue told those around her that Li Aiguo wanted to return to his roots, and then left with Li Aiguo's body.

They never appeared again.

Arriving outside the world

Li Aiguo's body was placed on a bed, next to Gu Yue, Luo Shui, and the Fairy Queen.

"I say, weren't your last words a bit too harsh? With this twist, Jerry probably took his last breath because of your anger. When he wakes up, you're all in big trouble!" the Fairy Queen said.

"What's there to be afraid of? I've called him 'Dad' my whole life. What's wrong with messing with him a little before I die?" Luo Shui said.

"I think he'll hate me even more now, probably thinking I've been cuckolding him my whole life." The Silver Dragon King burst into laughter as he said this.

"Besides, he himself said he wanted to experience the ups and downs of life. Look at him, his life has been too smooth sailing, and he hasn't had any major emotional ups and downs. The storyline we added for him at the end can be considered a fulfillment of his life," Li Luoshui said while eating an apple.

The group was still chatting.

Li Aiguo's body slowly began to recover, which was the method he had set beforehand. Thirty days after his death, his body would recover and his memories would be unlocked, allowing him to leave this world perfectly.

Li Aiguo's body slowly began to transform from an old man, becoming younger and younger, until he finally looked like a 15-year-old.

"Gu Yue, why?" Li Aiguo suddenly opened his eyes, shouted, and sat up abruptly.

At the same time, Li Aiguo saw Gu Yue, Luo Shui, and a very noble woman.

Just as I was about to ask, a flood of memories came rushing back.

A dozen seconds later, Jerry stared at the Silver Dragon King with a resentful look.

"Silver Dragon King, are you kidding me?!"

After absorbing the memories, Li Aiguo instantly understood what was going on.

"Hahaha! Jerry, you're awake!" said the Silver Dragon King.

"You guys are so mean! I'm about to die, and you're still making me angry," Jerry said angrily.

"We're just stating the facts, is there a problem? Do you think I've cheated on you?" the Silver Dragon King said with a smile.

"Yeah, I've called you 'Dad' for a lifetime, it's such a waste of my time. And what about the man you found for me? Do you want to be cuckolded?" Li Luoshui chimed in.

"you……"

Jerry was speechless. He had sealed his memories and never imagined that the Silver Dragon King would marry him and have a daughter who was her clone.

Thinking about all these actions, I really have no way to express my bitterness and feel extremely wronged.

Suddenly, Jerry realized something important: the Silver Dragon King had married him and they had lived together for over forty years.

Jerry grabbed the Silver Dragon King and vanished before she could react.

"Where is Jerry taking my original body?" Li Luoshui asked.

"Is there even a question? Jerry is ready to get his revenge!" the Fairy Queen said casually.

Jerry led the Silver Dragon King directly to his residence in the Star Dou Great Forest and set up a barrier.

"Gu Yue, huh? Having fun, huh? Silver Dragon King, let's play something even more fun!"

"No, Jerry, your eyes are looking a little lewd!"

"What's so creepy about it? We're an old married couple, why are you still shy?"

(The following content is not something that most people would enjoy reading, so I won't go into detail.)

Three days later, sunlight streamed in. The Silver Dragon King was still lying in Jerry's arms, and the intense sunlight woke them both up.

As soon as Jerry woke up, he looked at the Silver Dragon King in his arms and started thinking again.

The Silver Dragon King sensed it and instantly left Jerry.

"It's been three days. Even if you're still angry, you've vented it all by now. Let me go and take a break. I really can't take it anymore."

"You died after only three days? You fooled me completely. I was furious and desperate when I died. I swore then and there that if there is an afterlife, I will never let you go."

"Then don't take your anger out on me alone. Let me split myself into Li Luoshui."

"Ah, even though she's your alter ego, she's called me 'Dad' my whole life, and I raised her from a young age, so I feel like she's my daughter. I just can't bring myself to hurt her," Jerry said with a smile.

"If you can't bring yourself to do it, then you just keep bullying me."

"You are the original body!"

"No, I'm a clone too!"

"In this world, you are the true form!"

"I am a clone."

……

Having lived a lifetime, except for the final moments of his life when his emotions changed, nothing else affected Jerry's emotions.

Although it was just a hint of anger, it made Jerry feel a touch of humanity within himself.

Jerry believes that all seven emotions and six desires are useful; having them makes one more human and gives them humanity.

Furthermore, being with the Silver Dragon King aroused his desires, which was a good start.

Jerry and the Silver Dragon King are already together, so Jerry thinks he needs to change his plans.

He will continue to reincarnate, but in the future, he will take his wife, the Silver Dragon King, with him in every reincarnation.

The second time, Jerry came to the world of Soul Guides and embarked on the path of a Soul Guide. Under Jerry's leadership, the profession of Soul Guide developed rapidly.

At the age of thirty, the two met under the arrangement of the Silver Dragon King, and then spent their lives together.

The third time, Jerry went to the Soul Guide World again, this time embarking on the path of an array master. Jerry's ingenious ideas brought the array master profession back to the same level as the Soul Guide profession.

At the age of twenty, she met the Silver Dragon King, but this time the Silver Dragon King arranged for the two to be rivals.

Both were top-tier array masters, neither willing to concede to the other, and they were constantly competing in array formations.

They competed for ten years without a clear winner, but their feelings for each other only grew stronger, and they naturally ended up together.

After the two got together, they studied formations together, which made the formation masters in the Soul Guidance World firmly superior to the Soul Guidance Masters.

In the end, the two lived happily ever after.

Then the third time, the fourth time, and so on, until the thousandth time.

After a thousand reincarnations, Jerry gained many memories of ordinary people, which allowed his humanity to resurface.

The thousands of reincarnations mostly took place in the Soul Guidance World and the Pill World, both of which have been developing rapidly due to the two of them.

On their three hundredth trip to the Soul Guidance World, the two made a new breakthrough in their research on formations.

A contract array was developed based on the legacy of beast tamers.

Although the empire destroyed the tradition of beast tamers at the time, a backup was preserved in the records of the Soul Masters and Array Masters' Guild.

On his three hundredth trip to the Soul Guidance World, Jerry became the president of the Array Master Guild, and the Silver Dragon King became the president of the Soul Master Guild. The two competed with each other, yet also fell in love with one another, and eventually came together.

The two shared information privately and discovered that both guilds had backed up the Beastmasters' data, and in great detail.

Although the two knew that the profession of animal tamer was indeed a great threat to the world, they couldn't resist their curiosity and began to study it.

Finally, they developed the Contract Array, which allows Soul Masters to sign contracts with Soul Beasts and grow together.

When a Soul Master cultivates to a certain level, they can sign a contract with a Soul Beast. After the contract is successful, the Soul Beast will provide the Soul Master with a Soul Ring.

The spirit rings will also grow as the spirit beast's cultivation level increases. Each time the spirit ring's age increases or it breaks through a new level, it will also boost the spirit master's cultivation level.

Whether it's a Soul Master or a Soul Beast, cultivation improves gradually, and physical strength also increases slowly. Unlike absorbing a Soul Ring, which increases a lot all at once, if it exceeds the body's strength, the absorption will fail, and in severe cases, the body will explode and die.

After a soul beast signs a contract, its cultivation will become faster. After the contract is signed, the soul beast can absorb the soul power in the world through the soul power seed in the soul master's martial soul. As long as its body can withstand it, it can continue to absorb.

The reason why Soul Masters cultivate slowly is because there is a limit to the amount of Soul Power they can absorb each day. If they exceed this limit, their bodies will not be able to adapt or withstand it. However, Soul Beasts have much stronger bodies than Soul Masters, and their daily limit is also much higher.

Because the contract is an equal contract, soul beasts and soul masters are equal. The prerequisite for signing the contract is that the soul master and soul beast have a relatively high level of intimacy.

If the intimacy level decreases, the contract is immediately terminated, and the soul beast cannot form a contract again for a thousand years, while the soul master cannot form a contract for ten years.

The punishment is quite severe; this serves as a form of restraint.

There is no punishment for the death of one party to the contract; the contract is terminated immediately upon the death of one party, without affecting the other party.

Besides intimacy, either the Soul Master or the Soul Beast has the right to terminate the contract. Jerry originally didn't intend to do this, but there was a Silver Dragon King nearby who always considered the Soul Beasts, so she added this rule.

Later, for convenience, a summoning array was created. Normally, contracted soul beasts can be kept at home or in the forest. When needed for battle, they can be summoned directly, and they can also be summoned at other times to deepen the bond between them.

As the two gradually perfected their skills, this new cultivation path became clearer, and the final issue was the name of this cultivation path.

Jerry wanted to be called a Beast Tamer, but the Silver Dragon King felt that Soul Beasts and Soul Masters were equal and couldn't be called Beast Tamers. So, the final cultivation path was defined as Summoner.

Back in the main world, Jerry immediately posted the training methods for summoners.

All the Soul Masters in the entire main world felt deep regret.

Why wasn't I born at a better time? There are so many other cultivation professions now, but I'm still just a basic Soul Master.

If the Spirit Hall had developed the Summoner route earlier, I would have had one more option.

The thought of fighting against summoners of the same level in the future, alone while the summoner directly summons a soul beast to fight, is painful to even contemplate.

However, summoners have one limitation: they don't have soul skills, which is also the only advantage of ordinary soul masters.

However, the Spirit Hall has many self-created spirit skills, which can completely make up for the problem of spirit rings not having spirit skills.

Then the Spirit Hall launched a service to remove spirit rings, giving everyone a chance to change their cultivation path.

Because of this business, all the branch halls of the Spirit Hall are overcrowded.

Jerry then revealed the cultivation limits of common soul beasts, stating that some soul beasts are born with the ability to cultivate for ten thousand years, while others can only cultivate for a hundred years.

Furthermore, Jerry proposed an idea: every soul beast has the potential for breakthrough evolution, and it is necessary to feed the soul beasts bloodline pills to enhance their bloodline.

Soul beasts with naturally high potential are powerful at the beginning and can save a lot of cultivation resources, but it is more difficult to cultivate intimacy with them and to form a contract with them.

It's better to sign some low-level soul beasts first. As they are trained, the intimacy between them can be deepened. Newborn soul beasts are the best, as they usually treat the first person they see as family, making it easier to cultivate intimacy.

As more and more information is released by the Spirit Hall, most people have begun to study the Summoner class.

Many books have also appeared on the market, such as "On the Selection and Matching of Contracted Soul Beasts from One to Nine Heads", "The Advantages of Single-Attribute Soul Beast Contracts", "Thirty-Six Techniques for Soul Beast Training", "Soul Beast Evolution Route", and "Soul Beast Combat Skill Training".

Jerry checked it out and found that some of the content was indeed useful, but most of it was useless.

The overall education level on the mainland has improved, and people have their own opinions, with everyone having their own independent views and freedom of speech.

Now, people aren't waiting for the Spirit Hall to release the information; they've started researching it on their own. This is a good result, and it's what Jerry wanted to see.

So far, some people have successfully formed contracts with these beasts, but they are all young beasts. Most of them were obtained from the Spirit Hall's Spirit Beast Forest, while some were spirit beasts that went to breeding farms to sign contracts for breeding.

These people got ahead of many others from the start, while some were still waiting for a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast or a young beast that could grow into a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. Cultivating intimacy with a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast is not an easy task.

But you know what, there are still some smart people out there.

Many families in the Spirit Hall used to raise their own family spirit beasts, and they had also seen information about Jerry's previous breeding of fox spirit beasts. In the past, they would wait for the spirit beasts to cultivate to a high level before they would collect some fur or the like, but now they don't need to.

You can directly sign contracts with young beasts, which will allow the soul beasts to grow faster. Then you can train summoned beasts.

These spirit beasts are all raised by the family, and the spirit beasts and their feeders have a very good relationship, which increases their intimacy level, right?

Subsequently, these families arranged for a group of people to feed the soul beasts, and a month later, many of them successfully formed contracts.

Most of these families contracted with young beasts that could grow to ten thousand years old, while some directly contracted with ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts. Those who successfully contracted these beasts were the previous feeders.

What used to be the hardest job has now become a meteoric rise.

There was a feeder, a member of a collateral branch of the family, who offended a member of the direct line and was assigned to feed the soul beasts.

After feeding his spirit beasts for several years, now that the Summoner class has been released, he went directly to the Spirit Hall and removed his seven spirit rings.

After returning, he immediately formed contracts with seven ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, the oldest of which was already eighty thousand years old, making it the oldest soul beast cultivated by his family.

This directly changed his status within the family, allowing him to completely overpower the direct descendants he had previously offended. This incident also caused quite a stir in Wuhun City.

Before ordinary people even figured out how to increase the intimacy level with ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, some members of large families had already formed contracts with them.

Using this incident as an excuse, Tang San started stirring up trouble again.

However, this time they did it in a more low-key way, printing it on paper and scattering it everywhere.

The paper stated that the Spirit Hall had a method to increase the intimacy level of spirit beasts. Many people within the Spirit Hall had already formed contracts with ten-thousand-year-old spirit beasts and were demanding that the Spirit Hall disclose the method.

He still hasn't figured out how he found more than 40,000 members of the Church of Light last time, but that doesn't stop him from causing trouble. After all, there are always more solutions than problems.
