We all time-traveled at the same time, but why isn't anyone human?

Chapter 77 Dark Demon God, Transformation!

In the darkness and chaos, Tang San opened his eyes.

"Where is this place?"

Faint lights appeared in the distance. Tang San followed the direction from which they came. As the light grew brighter, a magnificent scene was reflected in his Purple Demon Eyes—

starry sky.

Yes, what appeared before him was a starry sky composed of hundreds and thousands of twinkling "stars," each star emitting a dazzling light that captivated Tang San.

So beautiful.

Each of these stars possesses a unique character.

Some stars, like imposing mountain ranges, are ancient and rugged, containing the majestic and powerful aura of the earth.

Some stars, like a vast ocean, are boundless and exude an inclusive aura that embraces all rivers.

Some stars exude a strong aura of evil and darkness, but upon closer inspection, they also possess a deeper, domineering, and all-encompassing quality.

Even with Tang San's experience of living two lives, he was still deeply shocked after seeing these magnificent and magical stars, and felt that his spiritual power had been enhanced.

At the same time, he also developed a deep sense of awe for the mysterious person who had brought him to this world.

The being capable of creating such a world possesses unimaginable strength, far exceeding the so-called "Title Douluo" of this world by countless times.

Such a being would have killed me long ago if it wanted to. Since it went to such great lengths to send me here, it must have something much bigger in mind.

Hey.

Tang San, choose your soul beast from the soul stars before you.

Once chosen, they will become your most important companions for the rest of your life, and you will be their jinchūriki and human form in the mortal world.

You will grow together, advancing towards the path of ultimate evolution.

Just as Tang San was pondering, Lu Ping's voice echoed in his ears.

Looking at the hundreds and thousands of stars before him, formed from fragments of soul beasts' souls, Lu Ping felt something and thought to himself.

The evolution system he created borrowed to some extent from the Soul Spirit system of Douluo Continent II, but it is more flexible and has a higher potential.

In the Soul Spirit system of Douluo Continent II, Soul Beasts are completely dependent on Human Soul Masters. They share the same fate, and if one suffers, the other suffers. The Soul Beasts' own power cannot be further developed, and whether they can become gods depends entirely on the potential of the Soul Masters.

However, the evolution system created by Lu Ping involves soul beasts and soul masters growing and evolving together, achieving mutual success.

Soul beasts can evolve their bloodline and grow stronger through the emotional power of soul masters.

Soul Masters can also evolve their Martial Soul and increase their strength through the emotional power of Soul Beasts.

Just like the famous scene in the Digital World, "As long as Tai's courage remains, WarGreymon will not fall; and as long as WarGreymon does not fall, Tai's courage will not be extinguished."

Under the idealistic rule of stepping on one foot while stepping on the other, the growth potential of Soul Masters and Soul Beasts has been maximized. Theoretically, as long as the bond is strong enough, even a god can evolve.

Of course, this is on the premise that their emotional intensity has truly reached an extremely high level.

If Tang San were to become the cold, calculating, and controlling villain he was in the later stages of the story, the soul beasts would leave him and choose the next human host.

Beliefs and bonds are the core of the evolutionary system.

"My... Soul Beast...!"

Hearing the voice in his ear, Tang San's fingertips trembled slightly, and his gaze swept over the starry sky where fragments of soul beasts' souls floated.

The choice between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts is mutual; it's not just about Soul Masters choosing Soul Beasts, but also about Soul Beasts choosing Soul Masters.

Soul Beast Star will not react to those beings whose soul aura and emotional power are inconsistent with its own.

Soul beasts with pure hearts, such as Snow Empress and Ice Empress, dimmed upon sensing Tang San's emotional power, which contained a strong desire for control, and were unwilling to choose him.

As for support-type soul beasts like the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and the Emerald Swan, they were unwilling to follow Tang San, a man full of scheming and calculation, for fear of being used by him in the future, and thus faded into obscurity.

In the end, very few soul beast stars remained, but without exception, they were all beings with extremely strong confidence in their own strength.

The two most dazzling ones are—

Evil Lord, Emperor Tian!

"Boy, I sense the desire to control everything emanating from you. Coincidentally, so do I."

The Evil Eye Tyrant sneered, his soul star flashing with a deep, dark, evil light, and transmitted his voice to Tang San.

"Be glad, I have chosen you. You will become the most powerful human on the Douluo Continent, and I will become the first soul beast to become a god on Douluo Star."

As the ruler of the Demon Forest and the second strongest beast in the entire Douluo Continent in terms of actual combat power (because its spiritual power restrains the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, but its cultivation level is not as high as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King), the Evil Lord is the most arrogant and evil of all soul beasts. Even the strongest soul beast, Di Tian, ​​is completely unconvinced by it.

The Evil Lord joined the World Tree Project not because he believed Lu Ping's evolutionary system, but because he had other plans—

It desires to cultivate a human powerful enough to possess the human at the moment the human becomes a god, thus reversing the ironclad rule that soul beasts cannot become gods.

Thanks to Lu Ping, it was able to enter this unknown world of souls in such a covert way, deeply bind itself with a promising soul master genius, and realize its ambitions.

As for growing together?

joke.

It is an evil lord, an arrogant emperor. How could any human being in this world be worthy of being its companion?

I sense your longing for love, but the love you seek is too narrow, too obsessive, too distorted. Let me teach you how to love, and what true love really is.

At the same time, Di Tian's deep and ancient voice also resounded in Tang San's heart.

As the God of Soul Beasts and a descendant of the Dragon King, Di Tian has a deep sense of responsibility and love for soul beasts and his race.

This power of "love" can be turned into "lust," one of the original sins, if it is taken a step back, but only by taking a step forward can it be cultivated into "faith" that is truly recognized by everyone.

Di Tian could tell at a glance that Tang San's soul power was extraordinary, showing signs of transforming into a dragon.

Unfortunately, his heart is already showing signs of collapse and corruption. If left unchecked, his heart, which is extremely lacking in "love," may be twisted into a perverse "desire for control."

That would be a disaster for the entire Douluo world.

"Abandon that evil spirit beast and come with me. I will teach you what true love and true responsibility are."

The fragments of Di Tian's soul emitted an even more powerful black light.

Although both are dark forces, Di Tian's aura is much more majestic and imposing than that of the Evil Eye, making Tang San want to bow down in worship.

Which one should I choose?

Gazing at the two shining stars before him, even Tang San, who had lived two lives, couldn't help but feel conflicted.

Di Tianxingchen's power is stronger, but it doesn't quite match his personality. In his previous life, as a disciple of the Tang Clan who dealt hidden weapons, he was somewhat incompatible with Di Tianxingchen, a soul beast that shouldered responsibilities and had firm beliefs. If he were to choose it as a soul beast partner, it would probably take a long time to get along with it.

Although the Evil Lord was compatible with him in terms of personality and his focus on spiritual power was also very much in line with his, for some reason, Tang San instinctively felt that there was danger in this person. Perhaps it was the intuition between kindred spirits, but Tang San always felt that the Evil Lord had other plans and was extremely cunning.

Just as Tang San was struggling with this decision.

Lu Ping's voice echoed in his ears at just the right moment.

[Tang San, due to the characteristics of your soul and the existence of twin martial souls, you can choose two soul beast partners.]

Are you willing to form a contract with these two soul beasts, Evil Lord and Emperor Tian, ​​and become their partners in battle?

Upon hearing Lu Ping's voice, Tang San's face lit up with joy, and he nodded repeatedly.

"I do."

These two soul beasts, one righteous and one evil, can restrain each other and maintain balance, allowing him to reach a higher potential – it's like killing two birds with one stone.

[Alright, the contract is established. Your first trial world is the "Sea Realm." Embark on an adventure with your soul beast companions!]

Lu Ping smiled slightly and waved his hand.

Technique: [Non-action transformation].

Immediately afterwards, the two soul fragments transformed into two small soul beasts, who stared blankly at Tang San and uttered puzzled sounds.

"Am I... the Evil Eye?"

"I am—Di Tian?"

Under Lu Ping's manipulation, the memories of Di Tian and the Evil Eye Tyrant were temporarily blocked, leaving only their basic common sense and conversational abilities. This was to maximize their potential and unleash their emotional power to the fullest extent.

The evil lord's plan died before it even began.

After all, for Lu Ping, this was just bait.

In the face of "non-action transformation", the memories, thoughts and schemes of all living beings have nowhere to hide. Lu Ping had long seen through the evil lord's little schemes.

In a flash, a dazzling light enveloped Tang San, Di Tian, ​​and Xie Yan, teleporting them to the First Trial World, the Sea Realm, which contained 1,008 hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, tens of thousands of ten-thousand-year soul beasts, and hundreds of thousands of thousand-year soul beasts.

Besides Tang San, the other seven monsters also chose their own soul beasts, and their characteristics were quite compatible.

Oscar and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm formed a contract. Both of them are lazy and don't like cultivation, but they have great talent (luck). Their collision might create a different kind of spark.

Dai Mubai formed a contract with the Golden Lion Mastiff. As the ancestor of all lion, dog and mastiff soul beasts, the Golden Lion Mastiff's bloodline is no less than that of the Dragon King, and its power is extremely domineering. Although it is only a ten-thousand-year soul beast (its soul fragments are less than ten years of cultivation), in terms of potential, it is comparable to Di Tian.

Zhu Zhuqing formed a contract with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Originally, given the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's status, it looked down on Zhu Zhuqing. However, since the other seven monsters had better options, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger didn't want to waste its time. It was confident that even if it followed a Soul Master with ordinary talent, it could still evolve to the strongest level.

Ma Hongjun has formed a contract with the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent. This kind of primordial alien species is not originally a creature of the Douluo Continent. In terms of potential, it is comparable to the bloodline of a true dragon, and its evolutionary plasticity is even stronger. If Ma Hongjun can go to other planes in the future, he may be able to complete its bloodline and elevate it to an unimaginable height.

Ning Rongrong made a contract with the Three-Eyed Golden-Faced Beast, that's right, the Emperor Beast. At Lu Ping's suggestion, she also split off a wisp of her soul and entered the "Forest Realm," becoming a member of the evolution system. Both of them have the ability to amplify the soul power of others, and with their mutual support, they might be able to advance even further.

Besides the Shrek Seven Devils, this group that entered the Nine Worlds also included young prodigies such as Dugu Yan, Ye Lengleng, and Hu Liena, who also formed contracts with a number of powerful soul beasts.

Lu Ping selected the most talented geniuses from various regions and forces on Douluo Star and sent them to the Nine Worlds for training.

Once they evolve the first batch of "Ultimate Soul Beasts", the entire cultivation system of Douluo Continent, no, the entire Douluo Star, will undergo earth-shattering changes.

Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Ye Lengleng opened her eyes, staring at the familiar ceiling, and dressed, washed, and ate as usual.

however.

Beneath her calm exterior, a storm was brewing within her.

"Bridget, are you still there?"

Arriving at a secluded spot, Ye called out softly.

next second.

A phantom of a verdant swan slowly materialized before her, transforming into a small, adorable swan beast. Rubbing its eyes, it mumbled sleepily.

"Waaah, I just defeated that ferocious human-faced spider, and it took all my energy. I'm still half asleep. Leng Ling, what's up?"

Looking at the swan beast within reach, Ye Leng Leng gently touched its soft fur, revealing a doting smile that she couldn't suppress.

"Nothing much, it's just that everything we've experienced over the past month feels like a dream."

Yes.

A month ago, she was chosen to enter a magical world and formed a contract with a soul beast called "Emerald Swan Beast", becoming a soul beast user.

Yes, a Soul Beast Tamer. Just thinking about how she had obtained this magical profession that had never appeared in history made Ye Lengleng feel a surge of excitement from the bottom of her soul. It's so cool!

Soul Beast Masters are a cultivation system completely different from that of human Soul Masters. Here, people no longer need to cultivate soul power in a tedious way, nor do they need to obtain soul rings through cruel and bloody killings.

Simply team up with your soul beast partner and fight side by side to increase your strength and even evolve your soul beast partner!

In just one month.

Ye Lingling and her partner, the Emerald Swan Beast, defeated dozens of thousand-year-old soul beasts. Not long ago, they even defeated a six-thousand-year-old "Human-faced Demon Spider" through the emotional power of their mutual protection and healing.

On that day, Emerald Swan Beast also evolved into the Rookie-stage "Nine-Heart Swan Beast"!

The Nine-Heart Swan Beast has achieved a further improvement in healing, capable of healing nine targets simultaneously. It also possesses nine hearts, and as long as all nine hearts are not destroyed at the same time, it can instantly heal itself, making it virtually immortal.

With just one evolution, the Nine-Hearted Swan Beast has already demonstrated a bloodline potential far exceeding its previous ones.

If placed on the original body of "Bi Ji" with 570,000 years of cultivation, her vitality would increase ninefold. Even an existence like Di Tian would have to spend a long time to kill her.

"It's not a dream. Although I've forgotten my past life, my instincts tell me that all of this is real. This is a miracle created solely by the two of us."

The Nine-Hearted Swan Beast looked at Ye Lengleng with tenderness. Their personalities were very compatible; both were kind and gentle.

Its healing properties made it the first of the original Chosen Children to successfully evolve.

"Thank you, Brigitte. Because of you, my martial soul evolved into the higher-level Nine Hearts Swan Martial Soul—and my soul power also increased to the level of a level 30 Soul Master under the nourishment of that evolution."

Ye Lengling said with a happy expression.

At twelve years old, she had only recently broken through to the Great Soul Master level. While her talent was considered quite good at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, it was still a level below the top prodigies of the Spirit Hall.

But now.

An evolution in the "Forest Realm" caused her soul power to soar to level nine. At the age of twelve, she was a Soul Master, no less than a genius with innate full soul power. All of this was a miracle brought to her by the "Soul Beast".

Not to mention, her true combat strength far surpasses that of ordinary Soul Masters. With the cooperation of the Nine-Hearted Swan Beast, she can even kill a six-thousand-year-old Human-Faced Demon Spider, something that ordinary Soul Masters cannot do.

Ye Lingling firmly believes this.

In the future Douluo Continent, Soul Beast Masters will definitely become the mainstream, and these first batch of Soul Beast Masters will become heroes remembered by everyone!

In the Star Luo Empire, in a forest.

Zhu Zhuqing's expression was indifferent as she swiftly leaped and glided across the branches of the giant tree. Behind her, a martial spirit filled with an evil aura vaguely appeared; it was unknown whether it was the "Netherworld Cat," a ancestral spirit of the Zhu family.

Behind her, a group of Soul Masters with strength at least at the Soul Master level followed closely, their voices drifting out softly.

"Second Miss Zhu, there's no need to run anymore. This time, we've mobilized a full twelve Soul Masters and a Soul King-level expert as our final force to assassinate you. Do you really think you can escape our inescapable net with your level of not even reaching Soul Venerable?"

Sensing the increasingly approaching presence behind her, Zhu Zhuqing's expression remained unchanged, but her eyes became even more sharp.

Her sister really went to great lengths to kill her.

Inviting twelve Soul Masters and one Soul King in one go is undoubtedly a considerable expense for a young lady who hasn't even begun inheriting her family's legacy. It might even reduce her own cultivation resources.

If she hadn't obtained that power, she might have really perished here.

-

only.

"Should we kill them all?"

A sinister, cold voice rang in Zhu Zhuqing's ears.

"No, leave one alive. I need to find out where their headquarters is—"

Zhu Zhuqing's expression gradually turned cold, and an evil and domineering power of a soul beast slowly emerged from her body.

"Once I become stronger, I will spare no one who has ever tried to kill me."

boom!!!

An incredibly powerful aura of evil darkness began to swirl around Zhu Zhuqing.

Let these assassins witness another form of combat for Soul Beast Masters: "Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, Transform!"

As Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking.

Her body was covered by a substantial soul power armor. The soul power armor was mysterious and gorgeous. From the "king" character pattern on her head to the scarlet, shimmering feline vertical pupils, and the jet-black tail used to balance her body and accelerate her burst speed, every part of it enhanced her combat power to the extreme.

"Okay, okay!"

"Let their blood be the sacrifice for our first battle in this world."

The unrestrained and arrogant laughter of the Dark Demon God Tiger echoed continuously in the depths of Zhu Zhuqing's soul.

Zhu Zhuqing's lips curled into a sinister smile. Her figure flashed, and her speed instantly surpassed that of a Soul King. In the form of "Dark Demon Evil God Armor," she charged towards the Soul Sect Master and Soul King who had assassinated her.

For Soul Masters, Soul Beasts are their "Contracted Beasts".

But for soul beasts, soul masters are also their "human jinchūriki" or "human host".

They can not only fight for their contractors as soul beasts, but also merge their own power with the contractors to transform and present a stronger form.

Even this isn't the limit.

When Zhu Zhuqing and other Soul Masters are able to withstand the arrival of the true forms of these Soul Beasts that are hundreds of thousands or even millions of years old, they will transform into true "Soul Beast Giants" and stand tall on the Douluo Continent!
