Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 557 The industrial production of artificial spirit rings is still somewhat difficult.

Why are you staring at me like that?

Seeing Gu Yuena staring at him as if she wanted to devour him, Tang San, despite having seen many storms, was still somewhat intimidated.

"It's nothing, I just have something to tell you." Gu Yuena quickly looked away, adjusted her mindset, and adopted a proper attitude: "I plan to return to the Star Dou Great Forest. As the king of the Soul Beast race, although I don't care much about them personally, since they respectfully call me 'Lord' and offer their faith, then I have to take responsibility."

Tang San nodded: "That's only right."

Over the past eight years, Tang San has also deciphered the steps involved in creating artificial spirit rings and made them available to researchers at the Spirit Hall for study, in order to facilitate the acquisition of spirit rings by future human spirit masters.

Although researchers have thoroughly understood the principles of artificial spirit rings over the past eight years, they still cannot achieve industrialized mass production. Only spirit masters above the Soul Douluo level can process them using spirit power and spiritual energy. Moreover, due to insufficient proficiency and precision, the lifespan of artificial spirit rings is fixed at the moment they are created. They cannot increase their lifespan by drawing upon the energy of heaven and earth or sensing the spirit master's will during the absorption process. They also cannot make the skills of artificial spirit rings most suitable for the spirit master's martial soul.

However, during an accidental experiment, the researchers from the Spirit Hall inadvertently injected the bloodline aura of spirit beasts into the artificial spirit rings, making the artificial spirit rings indistinguishable from those dropped by real spirit beasts.

This means that in the future, obtaining a desired soul ring may not require hunting soul beasts; one may only need to obtain their fur and blood, and extract the corresponding bloodline factors from them.

After all, according to current research findings, every life form on the continent has its own unique bloodline factor, and whether it is blood, hair, or scales, they all contain its bloodline factor. However, the bloodline factor information in hair and scales is incomplete, so it is best to choose blood, skin, etc.

Furthermore, researchers at the Spirit Hall are already considering whether a complete life form can be replicated based on this so-called bloodline information.

However, Tang San stopped the project.

It's best to maintain a sense of awe towards life.

The Blue Silver Emperor's fourth soul skill, Nine Deaths Resurrection, can replicate a complete life using a piece of bloodline information. However, life has a soul. Tang San used this ability to revive Xiao Wu's mother and to conduct experiments on an unforgivable fallen person. He would not use this ability at other times.

After learning that others could also create artificial soul rings according to the corresponding procedures, Gu Yuena understood that in the distant future, the behavior of soul masters hunting soul beasts would gradually evolve into a way of obtaining soul beast hair, scales and blood. The competition between soul beasts and soul masters and ordinary people would also gradually change from "cultivation" to "survival".

Tragically, soul beasts cannot be considered a complete race in the true sense. Their different life forms mean that their cooperation is merely a submission to stronger forces.

Therefore, after abandoning the idea of ​​lying flat, Gu Yuena felt that the definition of "human" could actually be broader. As long as one possesses human intelligence, one can be considered a human.

Over the years, Gu Yuena has also noticed that humans are actually very tolerant. As long as someone has a human form, they generally don't care whether they are purely human or not.

Of course, humans can also be narrow-minded. They can reject or even kill anything that is detrimental to them, even if it is one of their own kind or related by blood.

What a complex and contradictory race!

This is Gu Yuena's view of humanity, but she also realizes that it is precisely because of this complexity and contradiction that the human world is so colorful.

In terms of the continuation of bloodlines, humans are inferior to insects such as mosquitoes and flies. Perhaps one day, when humans become extinct, these creatures, controlled by bloodline factors and driven only by instinct, will still be thriving.

What is the point of living a life solely for eating, sleeping, mating, and procreation, just to pass on one's bloodline?

The emergence of wisdom, on the other hand, gives life the right to think.

Once a spirit beast possesses intelligence, it should no longer think about eating, drinking, sleeping, mating, or reproducing. Instead, it should use that hard-won intelligence to either make itself stronger, develop its own race, or contemplate the meaning of intelligence. Otherwise, if it cultivates to the level of 100,000 years and gains intelligence that is almost the same as that of humans, what is the point if it is all for something that can be done without intelligence?

On the contrary, without that wisdom, soul beasts might live an easier life, because they cannot see the future and therefore cannot perceive that despair.

As for the extinction of soul beasts... Gu Yuena felt that even if Tang San didn't exist, human soul masters had already realized the importance of soul beasts. In the distant future, humans might not be able to research artificial soul rings, but they would probably establish something like "soul beast protection zones".

After all, the Soul Hunting Forest on the Douluo Continent, currently under human control, is similar to a nature reserve. Only those with a warrant from the Spirit Hall are allowed to enter and hunt, and it is explicitly stipulated that indiscriminate killing is prohibited.

However, this was not done very well before the appearance of the Mother-Child Soul Guidance Photography Sphere. The main problem was the lack of monitoring. Many Soul Masters would kill a large number of low-level Soul Beasts to use as examples for their explanations to their juniors.

However, this phenomenon has become less common in recent years. After all, the Spirit Hall has installed a lot of soul guidance monitoring devices in those Soul Hunting Forests, and they have also disguised them in various ways. Once a soul master is caught killing innocent people indiscriminately under unnecessary conditions, law enforcement officers will be dispatched to arrest and fine them.

As more and more Soul Masters join the Spirit Hall, the Spirit Hall's manpower naturally becomes more and more abundant. In fact, some of the Soul Hunting Forests within the Heaven Dou territory are often patrolled and inspected by Soul Beast Forest Guard Teams.

Gu Yuena planned to do some ideological work with the ferocious beasts after returning to the Star Dou Great Forest. If the problem of survival competition could not be avoided, then she would try to get the intelligent soul beasts to abandon their soul beast identity and become a branch of "humans". After all, a hundred thousand-year-old soul beast can transform into a human, and ferocious beasts can freely transform between human and beast forms... This rule was not set by the God Realm, nor stipulated by the Dragon God, but is a manifestation of the rules of the Great Universe.

Subduing those ferocious beasts is easy; but persuading them is extremely difficult. Their mindset, accumulated over tens of thousands of years, is not easy to change unless they undergo a complete transformation and truly want to integrate into the human family.

After all, humanity is by no means a narrow-minded species!
