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

Chapter 243 Tang San Causes Trouble, Jerry Ranks Three Gods in One Day

Through countless reincarnations, Jerry gained a profound understanding of the rules of life and death.

I've reached 80% comprehension of both rules, but after that, I can't improve any further.

Jerry also knew that the remaining rules could not be comprehended through reincarnation, and that they might be limited by the rules of the world.

For Jerry, understanding 80% of all the rules is easy, but breaking through that 80% is very difficult.

From this, it can be seen that the Fairy Queen is really powerful, as she was able to comprehend all four rules to 100% in ancient times.

However, through countless reincarnations, Jerry mastered one very important rule to 100%: the rule of space.

At first, it was unclear why the rules of this space were broken. The main world consciousness thought it was because Jerry created ten smaller worlds, and as the smaller worlds developed, it became easier to comprehend the rules.

The most basic thing in creating a small world is mastering the rules of space, so it's not surprising that Jerry could break through the rules of space.

Jerry's breakthrough led to a further improvement in the rules of the main world.

The spatial barriers of the main world have been strengthened, making it much more difficult to create a small world within it than before.

The small worlds that have already been opened up have become more difficult to connect to the main world. Even now, people from the God Realm who want to come to the Douluo World have to pay a heavy price.

However, these are secondary issues; what needs to be addressed now is the public's opinion.

Subsequently, the Spirit Hall revealed the secret behind their ability to form contracts with ten-thousand-year-old spirit beasts.

For many years, the Spirit Hall has been engaged in the cultivation of spirit beasts. Most of the spirit rings that people exchanged before were cultivated by the Spirit Hall.

During the breeding process, there are dedicated feeders who feed the soul beasts every day. Over time, they become familiar with the soul beasts and their intimacy level increases, so they can naturally sign a ten-thousand-year soul beast contract.

The Spirit Hall has announced the opening of the Spirit Beast Forest, where everyone can select a spirit beast and feed it. The Spirit Hall will only be responsible for maintaining order from now on.

The spirit beasts in the Spirit Hall's Spirit Beast Forest are all kept in captivity and fed by dedicated personnel. They are more friendly towards humans, making it easier to cultivate intimacy with spirit beasts in other places.

At the same time, the Spirit Hall will distribute 1000 new spirit beasts every month.

Far North

Tang San was very hesitant at the moment, but with his insight, he could certainly see the benefits of being a summoner.

A summoner who reaches the Title Douluo level can summon a nine-headed soul beast at once.

These soul beasts signed contracts, which accelerated their cultivation speed. Once they reached a cultivation level of 70,000 to 80,000 years, they would be equivalent to a Title Douluo in human form.

Imagine an ordinary Title Douluo fighting ten Summoners of the same level at the start of a battle – you can imagine the consequences.

Tang San looked at his spirit rings. After the divine test, his nine spirit rings were: black black black black black black black red red. He didn't need to change the two red spirit rings, but he could change the others.

Tang San learned that the spirit beasts in the Spirit Hall's Spirit Beast Forest are all of very high quality. Ten thousand years is the minimum, and seventy or eighty thousand years is also common. If you are lucky, it is possible to contract a spirit beast that can reach one hundred thousand years.

His first spirit ring was only a little over 30,000 years old. Any other one would be better than the current one, and he would also have an extra spirit beast to help him.

There's a problem that's holding Tang San back: when forming a contract with a soul beast, it has to be done through the Spirit Hall, which has a special place where soul masters and soul beasts can sign contracts.

Thinking about this, Tang San felt that the Spirit Hall was hiding many secrets.

Based on his memories from his previous life, he thought it might be a formation, but for the sake of Yu Xiaogang and the others, he had never heard of the term "formation".

Although he had never heard of it, Tang San felt that it must exist because when a martial soul is awakened, the patterns carved on the ground look like an array.

Previously, awakening a martial spirit required guidance from others, but now every city has an awakening plaza.

Children of the appropriate age can automatically awaken their martial spirit simply by stepping onto the Awakening Plaza; no guidance is required at all.

The previous awakening formation was only an incomplete formation, lacking an energy device, and therefore required the Soul Master to activate it with their own Soul Power.

After Jerry completed the energy device, no human guidance was needed. Moreover, each awakening array was equipped with a recording device that would directly transmit the awakening results to the Spirit Hall.

The Spirit Hall's database contains information on all kinds of spirits, which is much more accurate than a spirit master's own judgment.

It was because of the awakening formation that Tang San was certain that a formation existed.

The Spirit Hall has not released any information about the formation, keeping it a secret from the entire continent. Tang San desperately wants this information.

Tang San has recently obtained a lot of information, which makes him realize that the Spirit Hall has a truly profound foundation. Therefore, Tang San decides that he should not take any action before obtaining all the information about the Spirit Hall.

Yu Xiaogang and Dugu Yan had discussed taking action several times, but Tang San always used the excuse that the Spirit Hall still had a lot of important information that it hadn't obtained to persuade them to wait.

After waiting for a while each time, the Spirit Hall would indeed release new information, just as Tang San had guessed.

For example, many people are excited about the Summoner class that was announced this time.

Tang San suspected that the people inside the Spirit Hall had long been practicing the Summoner profession, and the Spirit Hall also said that they had been engaged in the work of cultivating spirit beasts for many years.

The reason given that cultivating spirit beasts was only for making spirit rings was insufficient in Tang San's view. It was just a cover-up by the Spirit Hall. Their real purpose was to cultivate high-age spirit beasts and then use them to form contracts with summoners.

There must be quite a few soul beasts inside that can grow into high-age soul beasts, or even 100,000-year-old soul beasts. These soul beasts have probably already been contracted into summoned beasts by some high-level figures.

Fortunately, I didn't make a move before. There must be quite a few summoners at the Title Douluo level in the Spirit Hall. It wouldn't be good if we got ganged up on.

There are two more god-level powerhouses in the Spirit Hall. If they are also summoners, then that would be terrifying.

After figuring all this out, Tang San felt that everyone should switch to becoming a Summoner.

If Jerry knew that Tang San had thought about so much, he would definitely say that Tang San was overthinking things.

Summoners are very powerful in the early game with the help of soul beasts, but soul beasts become very difficult to cultivate in the later stages.

Jerry believes the correct approach is to form a contract with a soul beast and follow the path of a summoner when the soul master is weak, and then break the contract and absorb soul rings once the master becomes powerful.

The Spirit Hall has many 100,000-year-old spirit rings that survive, but 100,000-year-old spirit beasts are not so easy to cultivate.

Whether a soul beast can break through 100,000 years depends primarily on its bloodline. The higher the bloodline, the harder it is to improve, so it's not easy for a soul beast to break through 100,000 years.

Summoners who reach the later stages of cultivation possess very strong physical attributes, and even after releasing their summoned beasts, they have a very long time limit to absorb soul rings.

If a Soul Master and a Soul Beast have a really good relationship, they will inevitably come into contact with the younger generation of Soul Masters, and over time, their relationship with the younger generation will also improve.

Once the Soul Master dies of natural causes, the contract is automatically dissolved without any penalty. Then, the Soul Beast can form a new contract with the Soul Master's descendant.

A powerful soul beast can protect its descendants. Soul beasts can be used as the family's inheritor soul beasts, since soul beasts have a much longer lifespan than soul masters, making it possible for the family to pass on its legacy.

This kind of inheritance is incomparable to money or soul bones; its advantages are numerous.

With the birth of the Summoner class, the world's consciousness connected with Jerry, and the position of the Summoning God was created. It is currently vacant and a god is needed to inherit the position.

In this way, summoners can be fully recognized by the world. Moreover, not only summoners, but also alchemists and formation masters will be able to reach a certain number and thus create gods.

If a god's position is vacant, the development of this profession will be very slow. As things stand, Jerry is the best person to hold a god's position.

Besides the limit on the number of people, the career path for each profession needs to be fully developed before it can be completed.

In this world, apart from Soul Masters, the only other profession that is well-established is the Soul Instructor profession. However, the god who used to govern the Soul Instructor positions has died, and now a god is needed to inherit them.

Jerry then began to organize his experience from the thousand reincarnations.

First are the Soul Masters, with Soul Tools ranging from level one to nine. Each level has over a hundred different Soul Tools, and the world has a total of ten thousand Soul Masters.

The requirement of 10,000 people has been met, but the number of soul tools at each level is still insufficient.

Jerry then began to organize and study the information. There were now thousands of soul tools of levels one to three, more than a hundred of soul tools of levels four to six, eighty-two of level seven soul tools, forty of level eight soul tools, and only twenty of level nine soul tools.

Therefore, Jerry still needs to conduct a lot of research to ensure that the number of level 7, 8, and 9 soul tools reaches the minimum standard for godhood.

The basic standards for the other professions are similar. If we let them develop on their own, who knows how long it would take? Jerry directly arranged for people to learn these professions, 10,000 people for each profession, to first create the divine positions, and then improve them.

After the data on soul tools was compiled, there were more than 100 types of soul tools from level one to level eight, but only 62 types of level nine soul tools.

Many level-nine soul tools involve simple rules, and even though the small world has developed for so long, there are only sixty-two types now.

Jerry had to fill in the gaps himself. He asked the Silver Dragon King and the Fairy Queen for help, but they weren't interested in research. They could learn, but developing new soul tools was out of the question.

Jerry had to research this on his own, and suddenly he thought of a way to exploit a bug. For example, he could make a level 9 metal-attribute soul guide sword, and then make some with other attributes. Wouldn't that make a lot of level 9 soul guides?

With this idea in mind, Jerry started making them. He first made nine common level nine soul guide swords with nine different attributes. After trying them out, he also made the Space Sword, Time Sword, Destruction Sword, and Death Sword.

As for the Sword of Creation and the Sword of Life, I tried many times without success. Finally, I realized that swords are weapons used for killing, therefore these two rules cannot be attached to them.

After finishing the sword, Jerry started making knives, clubs, axes, guns, and bows.

When the hundredth level-nine soul tool was completed, a golden light suddenly descended upon the world, and then everyone on the entire continent knew that the God of Soul Tools had been born: Jerry of the Spirit Hall.

The entire continent was abuzz with excitement as everyone discussed Jerry becoming the God of Soul Guidance.

Meanwhile, the Soul Masters on the mainland felt that they were learning about Soul Tools much faster, and many questions that they hadn't understood before were now clear to them.

Tang San also received the news and was so angry that he smashed four or five cups.

A new successor to the divine throne has been born, and the gods of the God Realm, which was established based on the Douluo World, have also received the news.

The one who was most angry was the God of Asura. He was the one who destroyed the Soul Master's lineage back then, but he never expected it to have developed again. He was so angry that he wanted to descend to the mortal realm on the spot.

Only then did they realize that the barriers between the world had become stronger, and they could no longer open them at will.

If they descend to the mortal realm, their divine power will be greatly depleted, but we won't go into that for now. The most terrifying thing is that the world's oppressive power against them after they descend will be ten times greater than before.

The tenfold suppression calmed him down. They could barely withstand the previous level of suppression, let alone tenfold.

Shura announced to everyone that a meeting was to be held.

However, this was just the beginning. Jerry's next series of actions shocked the entire world.

Ten thousand alchemists appeared. Although they could only refine the simplest soul power pills, their numbers were enough, and the alchemist godhood was born.

Pills are much simpler than soul tools. After all, there are so many kinds of medicinal materials that you can mix and match as you like, regardless of their effects or whether they are poisonous or not, as long as you get enough of them.

In Jerry's World, level eight and nine pills were being refined using immortal herbs.

A herb less than 100,000 years old can be used to refine pills that have the medicinal effects of an eighth-grade pill. After 100,000 years, it can be easily refined into a ninth-grade pill.

After Jerry perfected the pills from level one to nine, a golden light descended upon the world once again, and everyone on the continent knew that Jerry had inherited the second divine position: the God of Medicine.

With the return of the God of Medicine, the profession of alchemist began to develop rapidly, and all kinds of elixirs appeared on the continent.

Tang San continued smashing the cup, while the God of Asura continued his impotent rage.

As for array masters, Jerry trained 10,000 people within the Spirit Hall. They only needed to master one array to be considered array masters.

Jerry taught them the simplest fire-starting method, and all 10,000 people quickly learned it.

Although this formation isn't very useful, at most it can be used for cooking, but it's simple and many people can learn it in no time.

With the formation gods born, Jerry began to refine each level of the formation, prioritizing quantity over usefulness.

The first thing that comes to mind is the Spirit Gathering Array. The Spirit Gathering Array was used to build the nine single-attribute cultivation towers in the past. At that time, it was just to adjust the elements gathered by the Spirit Gathering Array.

Now, to increase the number of formations, one formation is directly split into nine: Fire Gathering Formation, Metal Gathering Formation, Wood Gathering Formation, Water Gathering Formation, Earth Gathering Formation, Thunder Gathering Formation, Light Gathering Formation, Darkness Gathering Formation, and Nothingness Gathering Formation.

As they dismantled the Spirit Gathering Array, they suddenly discovered that it could also be used in reverse. They tried setting one up and instantly drained all the soul power in the space. Moreover, when Jerry entered, it even drained the soul power from Jerry's body.

Jerry immediately withdrew, found a small rabbit from the slaughterhouse, examined it, and found it had ten years of cultivation. He then threw it into this space, instantly extracting the soul power from the rabbit's body.

After being removed, the little rabbit lay motionless on the ground, completely limp.

They then went directly to the Spirit Hall's prison, found several death row inmates, and threw them into the space. The one with the highest cultivation was a Soul Douluo, but he only lasted for 10 minutes before all the soul power in his body was drained.

After his soul power was extracted from his body, the death row inmate was completely weak. It took him a day to recover some strength and be able to stand up with difficulty. It took him a week to be able to move normally again.

At this moment, Jerry pulled the death row inmate out of the space, and then the soul energy in the air began to enter his body, and he recovered a day later.

This situation is similar to having one's own soul power completely depleted.

However, no matter how much soul power one consumes in battle, some will still remain hidden in other parts of the body, enough to prevent one from being unable to stand up. This formation, however, can extract this hidden soul power as well.

Jerry named this formation the Spirit Dispersing Formation. Any creature with soul power that enters it will have its soul power extracted and then dispersed directly into the air.

Similar to the operation of the Spirit Gathering Array, the Spirit Dispersing Array was further divided into nine smaller arrays.

The best approach is to combine the Spirit Gathering Array and the Spirit Dispersing Array, which can create a true single-attribute space.

In the past, when using the Spirit Gathering Array, even if only one type of soul power was gathered, there were other soul powers in the world that were constantly moving and would also enter this place, although relatively fewer of them.

Now, by using them in combination, for example, after the Gathering Gold Array is set up, a Scattering Spirit Array is set up in this space to disperse some attributes other than the gold attribute, and thus a truly pure gold attribute space is born.

After that, he started researching other random formations, from level one to level nine, totaling nine hundred formations. Jerry quickly collected them all using this method.

Another golden light shone, and the whole world knew that Jerry had inherited the title of God of Formations.

Many people began to wonder, what is the God of Formations? They had never heard of it before, and Jerry suddenly became the god of this position. Is this another new profession researched by the Spirit Hall?

At this moment, Tang San shouted angrily, "I knew it! I guessed right! There really is a formation in this world!"

However, the Spirit Hall has not yet made the formation public, so Tang San plans to push it forward again.

The last method worked well; the people didn't know who spread the word, so they started talking about it, and the Spirit Hall couldn't find out. We'll continue using this method this time.

Then Tang San began to think about how to write this text. This time, it had to be written in a more serious way, preferably something that could arouse public anger.

In the realm of gods, the five great god-kings sat together. They too had received the news of the birth of the God of Arrays, and it was Jerry again. This time, none of them said a word, just sat there calmly watching, but they all felt powerless at that moment.

Moreover, they have now confirmed that the person who caused so much trouble in the lower realm was named Jerry.

As for them now, they have given up all hope of having a successor.

Even those who inherit from the lower realms must come to the realm of gods after completing the ninth trial in order to truly inherit their divine positions.

There is no comparison between a god with a divine position and a god without a divine position, just like between an adult and a child.

Poor Tang San and his companions, they still don't know that they have been abandoned by the God Realm.

Jerry ignored all of this at the time. After obtaining his divine position in the main world, he returned to the smaller world and began researching the divine positions of summoners.

It took hundreds of years to organize and deduce this information in the small world, but less than a day in the main world. Therefore, the story of Jerry taking three god positions in one day was spread in all sorts of ways.

Not only were the common people shocked, but the gods on the Douluo Continent were also shocked, and even the world consciousness itself was shocked.

The world consciousness sometimes observes the development of smaller worlds. A new formation can take anywhere from a dozen years to over a hundred years to research and develop, since formations are related to the application of rules.

However, Jerry, who was researching summoners, had hit a bottleneck at this time.
