Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 524 The Road Ahead Is Long and Arduous—

The approach of the Moon Merchant caused the seven teams near the coast to stop fighting and run into the ruins of Xiaohai City, preparing to head towards Wuhun City.

As for the competition between Xu Huang and Fu Hongchen, it can only take place on the return journey.

"Don't even think about running!"

Upon seeing this, the three Soul Douluos took to the air and jumped towards the shore before the ship even reached the shore. However, before they could land, they were covered by an invisible force and pressed down onto the beach.

"This is!"

Xu Long struggled, but the invisible pressure on his body was as heavy as a mountain, which he could not resist at all. Only his eyes and mouth could still move.

"Unlawful intrusion into another's territory is a serious crime." In mid-air, Tang San stood, dispelling his oppressive aura towards the three, his magnetic voice resonating in their hearts.

"Peerless..." Xu Long was shocked. He had no desire to escape, nor did he dare to resist. Facing a peerless Douluo, any means were futile.

This is an absolute crushing defeat in terms of strength!

However, even if they dared not make a move, Xu Long and the others would not surrender easily, nor would they reveal any information about the Sun Moon Empire!

Little did they know, Tang San didn't care about the information they were talking about. Luo Qiu knew far more information than these three Soul Douluos. Not to mention, at this moment, he could also sense the Blue Silver Grass, Blue Silver King, and Blue Silver Emperor on the Sun Moon Continent. If he wanted, those Blue Silver people would instantly pass on everything they knew to him, the Blue Silver Emperor.

"The Sun Moon Empire really hasn't given up on destroying my Douluo Continent. They've sent wave after wave... It's given me a taste of what it's like to wait for a rabbit to run into a tree stump." Tang San seemed to be speaking to Xu Long and the others, or perhaps to himself. With a wave of his hand, a spatial portal expanded, enveloping Xu Long and the others, as well as the Moon Merchant Ship.

When Xu Long and the others opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a relatively open area. They were bound by long, thin leaves resembling blue silver grass and could not move.

This kind of blue silver grass rope is extremely tough; even a Soul Douluo-level Soul Power would find it difficult to break free.

The Spirit Hall's law enforcement officers successively bound the remaining people on the ship and escorted them to prison cells to await trial at a later date...

Xu Long called out to Tang San, who was chatting with Gu Yuena, "Who are you? May I ask your name? It is an honor for us that a powerful figure like you has personally come to capture us!"

"Tang San." Tang San glanced at Xu Long and said his name. "You don't need to be so sad. Although you were with the invading Sun Moon Army, you didn't have time to carry out your plan. Therefore, you won't be in any danger of death during the trial. At most, you'll be considered an illegal intruder."

After Xu Long was taken away, Gu Yuena asked, "What is illegal intrusion?"

"It means we trespassed on the owner's property without their permission," Tang San explained.

"So, if that's the case, then Soul Masters hunting Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest is also illegally invading my territory, isn't it?" Gu Yuena said with a smile, drawing inferences from one instance to another. "Therefore, capturing them as well wouldn't be a problem, would it?"

"That's a different concept. After all, soul beasts don't have the same sense of community as humans, so we can't generalize," Tang San said, offering a different perspective.

"Hmph." Gu Yuena was a little angry, but she didn't say anything more. After all, she knew that soul beasts could not form a civilization similar to that of humans.

"Don't worry, once the technology for creating artificial spirit rings is analyzed, others will be able to make them too, and humanity's demand for spirit beasts will decrease." Tang San patted Gu Yuena's head and comforted her. "As for the competition for living space, there's no need to worry about that for tens of thousands of years. Perhaps in the future, humanity will be able to find a way to coexist harmoniously with spirit beasts, who knows?"

When this was mentioned, Tang San thought of the movies and TV shows related to Pokémon from his previous life, which depicted a world where humans and a species called Pokémon coexisted harmoniously.

Although there are some shady conflicts of interest, generally speaking, the coexistence of humans and fairies in that world is a relatively perfect one.

Humans ride spirits into battle, but spirits are not tools, but partners.

However, achieving this in Douluo Continent is quite troublesome. Besides the fact that changing human concepts takes time, the soul beasts themselves are also "untamed." The main reason is that soul beasts are different from Pokémon. Before their cultivation reaches a certain level, they simply cannot understand human speech, meaning they lack intelligence.

It can be said that soul beasts under ten thousand years old are not much different from ordinary plants and animals in terms of their habits. The reason why they are difficult to tame is mainly because they possess extraordinary power that ordinary plants and animals do not have, which can easily hurt people.

Only Soul Masters can subdue Soul Beasts.

However, the number of Soul Masters is pitifully small compared to the total number of humans on the continent. Moreover, Soul Masters have a high status and do not need to do taming work for survival.

Changing mindsets takes time and effort.

"Let humans and soul beasts coexist?" Gu Yuena imagined that future, shook her head, and said, "If we want to do that, soul beasts and humans need to understand each other. At the very least, most soul beasts need to be born with a strong intelligence, otherwise it will just be empty talk."

"Indeed, that's a problem." Tang San nodded. After all, Pokémon in any Pokémon universe are born with considerable intelligence. However, like Soul Beasts, most of them live in the natural environment and don't think too much. Their thoughts are all about survival and reproduction.

How can we give spirit beasts intelligence?

Tang San felt that he had to start by changing the rules.

"It really is a dreamlike world." The Lord of Eternity looked at the Pokémon anime that Tang San showed him from his memories and sighed deeply. "But unfortunately, I have traveled to countless planes with Eternity and the Throne of Creation, and I have never encountered a similar world. The most similar plane is where the plants and animals can develop intelligence when they cultivate to a certain level, and then transform into a half-human, half-beast form, or even become completely human. The cultivators there are called: demons."

Electrolux said, "These aren't much different from the soul beasts in Douluo Continent."

The Lord of Eternity shook his head and said, "They are not quite the same. They can freely transform between beast and human forms, but their strength is only comparable to that of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast."

"Could we modify the rules and apply them to the rules of Douluo Continent?" Tang San thought that by compiling similar laws known to the Lord of Eternity, perhaps a set of rules suitable for soul beasts could be established.

But the Lord of Eternity said, "It is possible, but I haven't recorded that many rules. After all, I just wander freely in the universe following the guidance of the universe's will. I used to spend most of my time sleeping, so how could I have time to record those dimensional rules? I wasn't a researcher before, and I don't understand any scientific thinking."

Tang San: "..."

The road ahead is long and arduous.
