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

Chapter 38 It is not scarcity that is a concern, but inequality.

The news that ten 100,000-year-old soul beasts were born in a single day spread quickly throughout the entire Star Dou Great Forest. Soul beasts in all regions were overjoyed, and many 80,000- or 90,000-year-old soul beasts began to cultivate freely. Previously, heavenly punishments such as lightning tribulations had always weighed on their heads, but they had to suppress their cultivation once they reached this age. Now, the heavy stone weighing on the heads of all the soul beasts was finally gone! So they no longer needed to suppress their cultivation!

As time went by, the concentration of soul power in the lightning attribute area increased again, to about twenty times the original level. Of course, it still couldn't catch up with the core area. Originally, the core area had the Life Lake with the Gold of Life beneath it, so the concentration of soul power in the air was very high, about forty or fifty times that of the ordinary area. Later, Jerry planted many ten-thousand-year-old plant-type soul beasts in the core area and upgraded some of the original trees and vegetation to thousand-year-old and ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts. This made the soul power in the core area reach an astonishing eighty times. Soul beasts here could practically lie down and sleep and their soul power would skyrocket!

After the concentration of soul power in the lightning attribute region increased, the plant-type and animal-type soul beasts within cultivated much faster. The faster the plants cultivated, the more soul power they exhaled, creating a perfect cycle. Moreover, in other regions, the concentration of soul power was now at five times its original level in some areas, and six or seven times in others! The increase was somewhat slow, which displeased the soul beasts in other regions. They were all roughly equal before, but suddenly the lightning attribute region saw a rapid increase, and this was all because of Jerry. It's not the scarcity that bothers us, but the unequal distribution of soul power. Humans are like this, and so are soul beasts. However, most soul beasts are more straightforward; they speak their minds directly and don't cause trouble behind our backs. Therefore, representatives from other regions sent representatives to the core region to seek help!

The changes in the lightning attribute region made Jerry realize that ordinary plants can evolve into corresponding attributes after absorbing a large amount of attribute soul power! The bone-fed plants he had created before actually had other attributes, but because there were too few, no plant evolution occurred. Now, the lightning attribute region has given Jerry an idea!

Other areas are inhabited by many common plant-type soul beasts, mostly trees. They don't have any special attributes, even if they are upgraded to a thousand years old.

Originally, each region relied on the vast number of trees and planted attribute-elemental plants to increase the concentration of soul power. At first, the increase was rapid, but after a certain point, attribute-elemental plants began to suppress ordinary plants. They had attributes, and ordinary plants couldn't compete with them! Especially in the fire attribute region, ordinary plants were almost suppressed to death, so after increasing it five or six times, it became very difficult to increase it further!

Jerry realized that there were a lot of minerals in the Star Dou Great Forest, many of which had attributes. Soul beasts didn't know how to forge and use them, and human soul beasts didn't dare to come in to mine them, so they were just going to be wasted. With that in mind, Jerry notified the soul beast representatives of each area to start mining other attribute ores in each area and transport them to the core area!

Mining is difficult for humans, but it's very easy for spirit beasts. Spirit beasts are large, strong, and obedient, making them perfect working animals!

Then the entire forest became lively again, with construction sites everywhere. The spirit beasts dug up a batch of ores, transported them to the core area, and then brought back ores of corresponding attributes from other areas to bury! However, Jerry instructed them to prioritize burying them under ordinary plants, and everything proceeded in an orderly manner!

Jerry plans to transform all areas into extreme environments so that even ordinary plants within them will evolve attributes! Although it will be slow, soul beasts have no shortage of time. Years, decades, and centuries pass in the blink of an eye for soul beasts. By then, each area will have become a top-tier mimicry training ground!

Seeing the spirit beasts thriving, Jerry was gratified and had an idea: it was time to start the experiment! Jerry kept a lot of ores of various attributes, preparing to conduct an experiment that, if successful, would change the entire continent!
