Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 186 Rapid Changes, Douluo Council

This was the year Huo Yuhao spent perfecting his cultivation.

With the unification of the entire human world, under the guidance previously arranged by Huo Yuhao, the executive of the Body Sect.

Human society as a whole, civilization that had stagnated for 10,000 years, has begun to gradually move forward again.

Let's start with the social structure.

With the merger of the four great empires, a brand-new political system, the Douluo Council, was born.

Parliamentary system replaced the former imperial system.

Currently, there are ten members in the entire parliament.

They are nominally second only to Speaker Huo Yuhao, who rarely appears in public.

However, everyone knows that although it is called a council, they only have the authority to make decisions when Huo Yuhao is not present.

Of the ten councilors, two are from the Sun Moon Empire, two from the Star Luo Empire, two from the Heavenly Soul Empire, and two from the Fighting Spirit Empire.

Although the Body Sect is just a sect, it has secured the positions of two councilors due to its powerful strength and status.

During the period when Huo Yuhao was not in control, things proceeded steadily according to his arrangements in general.

Those minor matters that still require proposals are coordinated and addressed by a vote of all members of parliament.

This is simply because Huo Yuhao's personal strength is too great.

This is the best solution that the barely cohesive political system can currently adopt.

After all, the four great empires were very different in terms of their cultural environment and historical heritage.

In the short term, without resorting to special measures, it will be difficult to control the will of the entire population.

Therefore, they could only gradually implement various reforms in order to promote the integration of the people of the four great empires.

However, the most crucial matter, namely reforming the Soul Master cultivation system, is the general direction of the entire Douluo Council.

After all, Du Busi, as a Limit Douluo, is most acutely aware of the bloated and restrictive nature of the Soul Master system.

The grand vision that Huo Yuhao presented to him stirred his emotions even more, and at the same time, he realized...

Under this grand vision, the entire Douluo Council must possess sufficient strength and resources to keep pace with Huo Yuhao.

Otherwise, Huo Yuhao's strength would far surpass that of the entire Douluo Council.

Or perhaps the entire Douluo Council is of no use to him anymore.

Regardless of personal relationships, Huo Yuhao would likely have no choice but to abandon them at that time.

After all, sometimes, even if Huo Yuhao wanted to, their existence would become his weakness.

After the establishment of the Douluo Council, Shrek Academy's status has fallen to an extremely awkward position.

Because of Shrek Academy's previous actions that went against its own principles, coupled with its own downfall.

Having been ousted from the Douluo Council, Shrek Academy has completely lost its original influence on the human world.

Apart from a few who remain die-hard Shrek fans.

At this point, Shrek Academy had essentially returned to its original state from ten thousand years ago.

The once prosperous Shrek City has now become a lawless zone.

With a large loss of permanent residents, it has almost become a ghost town, and outsiders rarely approach it.

The number of students and teachers who remain is barely a hundred, and they barely manage to live a self-sufficient life by farming.

The Douluo Council naturally did not intend to interfere too much in this matter, but simply isolated Shrek Academy from communication with the outside world.

After all, Shrek Academy is basically crippled now.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao would use them as bait later, so it's best to leave them for now.

After a year of development, the original Soul Master system on Douluo Continent has undergone tremendous changes.

With the vigorous promotion of the Douluo Council, a large number of Soul Masters switched to practicing the basic cultivation techniques that Huo Yuhao had made public.

He dispersed his original soul power into his physical body to temper his body and refine his qi and blood.

Once the energy of blood and qi is sufficiently concentrated, it will then feed back into the spiritual energy, thus continuously growing stronger.

Of course, there were definitely a lot of opponents when it was first promoted.

Especially those Soul Masters and their families who were originally in high positions.

They are the beneficiaries of the Soul Master system, so naturally they cannot be the same as ordinary Soul Masters.

He was willing to gamble his entire cultivation and the future of his family for an uncertain future.

However, the solution is quite simple, after all, these are the Soul Masters who have the strongest resistance.

Ultimately, they are just a part of the Soul Master group.

Their numbers are small, and they differ from ordinary Soul Masters.

The disciples of the Body Sect, who have focused on the balanced development of physical strength, soul power level, and even mental power since the beginning of their cultivation, are no pushovers either.

Unlike basic cultivation techniques that were only passed down to the outside world, the basic cultivation techniques that Huo Yuhao passed down were based on the inspiration he had previously tested at the Body Sect.

Therefore, the speed at which the disciples of the original sect completed the conversion was extremely fast, which also meant that although they lost their soul power.

However, thanks to their strong physique and mental strength, their actual combat power is even stronger than before.

As direct descendants of the sect, Du Busi naturally wouldn't be stingy, after these disciples completed their conversion to other cultivation methods.

He had already made contact with the Star Dou Great Forest and successfully arranged for his disciples to sign equal contracts with a group of soul beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest.

As the closest force to Huo Yuhao, the Star Dou Great Forest also showed great sincerity.

Led by Di Ruier, this group of soul beasts that signed equal contracts with the members of the Body Sect included some super soul beasts such as the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

However, most of them are not very old, around a hundred to a thousand years, but that was precisely the original intention of Huo Yuhao in establishing the contract.

This allows both humans and spirit beasts to achieve a mutually beneficial relationship through contracts.

This would ease tensions between the two sides and unite their strengths.

Soul beasts that originally had only a hundred or a thousand years of cultivation could become powerful after signing a contract with the sect members of their original body.

The members of the Body Sect enjoyed some of the innate soul skills of these soul beasts, and even extended their lifespans as a result.

Through the feedback from humans who grow at an extremely fast rate, these soul beasts, which originally needed hundreds or thousands of years to develop powerful combat abilities, can now grow even faster.

They grew rapidly within this year, and many of the soul beasts that were originally around a thousand years old have now grown to have a cultivation level of ten thousand years.

With the foundation of a super soul beast, it can completely dominate one side among soul beasts.

It should be noted that although super soul beasts have powerful bloodlines, they suffer from difficulties in breeding and growth.

Therefore, beings that are more than 10,000 years old are extremely rare in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Through an equal contract with humanity, one benefit is the significant elimination of external threats.

Secondly, they grow rapidly; don't underestimate the Body Sect just because it only has a few hundred members.

However, the hundreds of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts that came with the contracts with them were a much-needed boost to the increasingly weakened soul beast race.

The effects of this contract even made ferocious beasts like the Bear King and the Crimson King quite envious.

To possess tens of thousands of years of cultivation in just one year is simply unbelievable to them if they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes.

Most importantly, the Heavenly Tribulation that Douluo Continent originally imposed on high-level soul beasts seems to be showing signs of loosening.

This was also what Gu Yuena had told them, ever since she temporarily seized the power of the plane's ruler last time.

Gu Yuena naturally had some backup plans, although she didn't completely remove the shackles set up by the divine realm.

However, judging from the current situation, the lightning tribulation triggered by the beast's breakthrough is far less threatening than before.

After the contract is completed, the two parties will work together to achieve their goals.

Most of the members of the Body Sect, regardless of the strength of their original martial soul or the level of their talent.

Most of them can possess cultivation levels comparable to Soul Saints in the original Soul Master system.

The few who did not reach the target did so because they were too young and their bodies were not fully developed.

After the physical and mental conditions were met, Du Busi arranged for his disciples to personally come into contact with the stone tablets left behind.

They obtained their own fundamental techniques that pointed them directly to the level of gods, which they used to replace the basic cultivation methods they had previously practiced.

Having a unique cultivation technique is enough, even without a martial spirit or soul skills.

However, these members of the original sect can still use the resonance of their blood and spiritual power to draw upon the power of heaven and earth to reveal various mysteries.

At this level, they can only be compared to the original Title Douluo level powerhouses.

A few hundred titled Douluo—in the original Douluo Continent, that was practically the sum of all the forces combined.

Those sects, families, and soul masters who are unwilling to comply with the cultivation system promoted by the Body Sect.

No one, regardless of who they are, has the slightest strength to contend with the current state of the Body Sect.

Even at this moment, when his cultivation was at its highest, and he had even entered into an equal contract with the King of Ten Thousand Demons.

Considering that the Nine Poisons God-Slaying Chapter has already made Poison Undying a quasi-god level powerhouse, he will not make a move.

Under absolute power, one either gets beaten or joins.

Anyone with eyes can see how to choose.

Now that there is a more powerful path, who would cling to a dead end like Soul Master, which is destined to lead to elimination?

Regardless of the fact that the development speed and upper limit of the Soul Master path are far inferior to the new cultivation system.

Currently, the Body Sect maintains close ties with Soul Beast gathering places such as the Star Dou Great Forest and the Far North.

If anyone still wants to hunt soul beasts in these gathering places because of their cultivation as a soul master, do they really think that the powerful figures of the Body Sect are just for show?

Ultimately, now, across the entire Douluo Continent, apart from Shrek Academy, most of the Soul Master sects and families have been forced to transform.

Those few who refused to submit, yet were unwilling to perish, could only flee into Shrek City, which has now become a no-man's-land.

However, the resources of Douluo Continent are limited, and I have experienced the rapid progress that comes from refining a large number of herbs and spiritual plants into qi and blood power.

Compared to other cultivators who are still in the first stage of cultivation, honing their qi and blood.

At this moment, the members of the Body Sect were extremely anxious, because with their growing strength, their demand for resources had also increased.

Although Huo Yuhao once seized the rare treasures from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well with Du Busi, and even specially crafted a medicinal formula for them.

However, compared to the hundreds of bottomless gaping maws of the Body Sect, these outputs are definitely just a drop in the ocean.

However, under the suppression of the indestructible poison, all the members of the Body Sect still restrained their pursuit of strength.

She continued to work methodically in her position, implementing the plan Huo Yuhao had left behind before his seclusion.

However, this plan, which was gradually reaching a bottleneck, was revitalized with Huo Yuhao's return.

The battlefield where the Sun Moon Empire fought against the other two great empires.

At this time, this place has been transformed into the largest city under the jurisdiction of the Douluo Council.

The city was named Douluo City, symbolizing the unprecedented unification of the Douluo Continent.

Various forces have settled here, and the headquarters of the Douluo Council was established here to coordinate affairs across the entire continent.

In the very heart of the city, in that most magnificent tower.

It is the headquarters of the Douluo Council, and only members of the Douluo Council are qualified to enter it.

At this moment, unlike usual when only six resident members of parliament are in charge of deliberations.

The ten members of parliament who were originally scheduled to take turns resting were now gathered here.

The thirteenth person, besides them, took the seat at the top of the parliamentary round table, which had been previously vacant.

Huo Yuhao.

The true ruler of Douluo Continent has returned.

Looking at the ten people present, they were the emperors and high priests of the original four great empires, as well as Poison Undying and Golden Roc.

Huo Yuhao's expression remained completely calm. After listening to their report, he simply spoke indifferently.

"Within one month, all those who have completed the basic cultivation must form an equal contract with a soul beast."

"The Starry Sky Forest and the Far North will hand over this matter to the council. Everyone, please pay attention to the management."

"Secondly, a new war is coming, and all departments should be prepared, as this war will be a tough one."

Seeing the various expressions on everyone's faces, Huo Yuhao did not hide anything.

"This battle is a struggle for resources from another unknown dimension."

"If we can take over their plane, then the resources of the entire plane will be at our disposal."

"The exploitable value of Douluo Continent can never keep up with the implementation of the fundamental law."

"Even the oceans and other continents are mostly wild and untamed lands."

"Even development is unlikely to make progress in the short term."

"However, plundering all the resources that have already been organized in another dimension is undoubtedly the most convenient way for us at present."

Upon hearing this, Du Bu Si's eyes lit up slightly, though it might not matter to others.

However, after reaching the quasi-god level, he became increasingly eager to truly achieve godhood.

After all, the feeling of this gradual transformation and improvement in one's life level is simply wonderful.

Moreover, as his master, he didn't want to be left too far behind by his disciple Huo Yuhao.

Especially after Huo Yuhao had opened the door to godhood for him.

Becoming a god is the first requirement that Poison Undying has for himself now.

If what Huo Yuhao said is true, then he has absolute confidence.

To perfect one's cultivation and become a god-level powerhouse in a short period of time by waging war against another dimension.
