From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 371 Mass-Produced Longing Dew! [Thanks to 'Anonymous Bystander' for the donation]

Ultimately, the Douluo human soul masters, represented by Chen Hongqian Daoliu, reached a consensus on cooperation with the Demonic Tiger Whale clan.

Human Soul Masters provide the Demon Orca clan with a sufficient number of Sage-type Soul Guidance Devices, while the Demon Orca provide protection for the Spirit Hall's Soul Master fleet (the Sea Soul Fleet of the Technology Chamber of Commerce) in the ocean. At the same time, the Demon Orca will also cooperate with the Spirit Hall to continue to complete the "Soul Ring Imprinting Project" and provide necessary assistance.

The Demon Orca King also promised Chen Hong that he would help distribute Sage-type Soul Tools among the Sea Soul Beasts, providing a more harmonious way to unite all the Sea Soul Beasts that could be united. Hmm, the Demon Orca King's concept of 'harmony' (shark laughs).

After resolving the issues with the Demon Orca clan, Chen Hong piloted the Demon Orca King back to Sea Soul Island. To the astonishment of Hague and the other Sea Soul Masters, a detailed handover of their work was conducted. Simultaneously, Chen Hong returned the Sea Soul Regional Network's mental information processing center, [Turtle]—the blue turtle shell that Big Head Waa [Huang] often held in his arms—to the network. He also spent some time establishing mental spatial coordinates for the Bone Spirit [Huang], using [Turtle] as an anchor point.

This spiritual space coordinate spans almost the entire Douluo Continent, an exceptionally vast distance. Only the Bone Spirit [Huang]'s soul bone constitution (a special quantum superposition state) can freely transform between energy and crystals, thus enabling it to undertake this super teleportation. Any flesh-and-blood life form, carbon-based life form, silicone life form, or Holy Grail life form would be unable to achieve the ultimate spatial teleportation ability of the Bone Spirit [Huang].

Even if Chen Hong uses the Bone Spirit [Huang]'s talent ability to teleport, he can only teleport within a limited distance of his mental perception range. There is also a 'skill cooldown'. Moreover, the farther the teleportation distance, the greater the energy consumption. Not to mention, the fragile human body simply cannot withstand it.

Chen Hong established this spiritual space coordinate for the Bone Spirit [Huang] so that [Huang] could exert its flexibility and, when needed, integrate the spiritual data of other regions, thereby connecting the entire continent into a whole and establishing a true 'Skynet'.

Bone Spirit [Huang] possesses unique innate abilities, making it perfectly suited for this kind of "central system" role.

As a counterintuitive fact, surface-based technological civilizations sometimes use trucks to transport network data instead of fiber optic cables. When fiber optic transmission speeds are limited, data that might take two days to transmit over fiber optics could be delivered by truck in just one day.

In Chen Hong's mind, Bone Spirit [Huang] was just such a "truck," and a "time-space truck" at that, which could help Chen Hong maximize the data transmission speed and continuously optimize the underlying structure of the mental network.

After Chen Hong had prepared all these things and had the Demon Orca King and Hague and the others complete the handover, he took the Bone Spirit [Huang] and returned to Douluo Continent with Qian Daoliu.

"I thought the trip would only take two or three months at most, but it ended up taking half a year."

In the Douluo Continent, in the Heaven Dou Empire, in the Sunset Forest, within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well Valley, Chen Hong stood atop a mountain peak, his eyes, bound with black bandages, gazing at the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the valley ahead.

"Ah? Young friend, your eyes!" The Spirit Hall's Super Douluo Elder Jin E, who was guarding the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well Valley, exclaimed in astonishment when he saw Chen Hong.

"Don't ask, Second Brother, it's not necessarily a bad thing." Not far away, amidst a field of exotic flowers and plants, Qian Daoliu, having collected a drop of dew from a leaf, walked over with Dugu Bo. He then handed the leaf that had collected the dew to Chen Hong, saying, "A weakened version of the 'Looking Through Autumn Waters' Dew. Although it's not as good as the one Tang San used, it's more sustainable. It's estimated that it can condense a drop every two or three months. Try it and see if you can speed up the process of mastering your Soul Eye."

The "Longing for Autumn Dew" that Tang San used, along with all the other immortal herbs he consumed, wasn't particularly potent, at least not in terms of energy density. Now, however, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well Valley is almost entirely populated by century-old immortal herbs and spirit beasts. While the immortal herbs they produce may not be as high-quality as the original power, they are sustainable. Furthermore, as these immortal herbs and spirit beasts improve their cultivation levels, the Super Douluo of the Spirit Hall believe that even the byproducts of these herbs and spirit beasts will be more potent than the whole plant Tang San previously consumed.

After handing the weakened version of the "Looking Through Autumn Water Dew" to Chen Hong, Qian Daoliu explained to Jin E and Dugu Bo, who were standing to the side with puzzled expressions, "Chen Hong's eyes are caused by a special external soul bone. It injured his eyes, but it also gave him a completely new perspective."

On the way back, Qian Daoliu had already obtained part of the Soul Eye's ability from Chen Hong. Of course, the Soul Eye's ability was very simple, and there was only one: to look directly at the most real phenomena of the world through a divine pattern lens polished by the rules.

Although Qian Daoliu didn't quite understand some of Chen Hong's words, he knew that Chen Hong's Soul Eye was extremely powerful, at least in Chen Hong's hands.

That night, the Spear of Wishes descended from the Milky Way, easily tearing apart Chen Hong's Angelic Martial Soul True Body. At that moment, Qian Daoliu became extremely interested in Chen Hong's external soul bone, the Soul Eye. He even uttered something like, "Let me be your eyes, Ori-chan!" which disgusted Chen Hong.

However, after Chen Hong's explanation, Qian Daoliu gradually understood that the external soul bone and soul eye could only exert their maximum effect in Chen Hong's eyes. In Qian Daoliu's own eyes, at most he could only see the soul power particles, but could not touch them.

The tools needed to touch soul power particles must be at least at the level of divine sense. Before summoning the angel god, Qian Daoliu did not possess such a thing.

"An external soul bone?!" Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression froze. An external soul bone was a truly rare and coveted item in the world of soul masters! If it was an external soul bone, no wonder his elder brother said that it might not necessarily be a bad thing.

"Eyes?!" Dugu Bo was also stunned. He felt he had seen quite a few external soul bones in recent years, but eyes were a first for him.

However, compared to their astonishment, Chen Hong took the weakened version of the "Looking Through Autumn Water Dew" that Qian Daoliu had plucked from the immortal herb soul beast. Then, with a thought, the bandages wrapped around his eyes automatically untied, fluttering behind him, revealing Chen Hong's soul eyes beneath the bandages.
