Chapter 206: Humans and Soul Beasts
In the video, the humanoid form of the Silver Dragon King was breathtakingly beautiful.
Her long silver hair cascaded down her back, reaching her ankles. It was not only silky and smooth but also had a texture akin to silver crystal. Her eyes were mesmerizing long, curled lashes framing deep purple irises, clear and radiant, as if reflecting the vast expanse of the starry heavens.
Even Ye Cheng, who had seen countless beauties, was momentarily stunned by her appearance. He had clearly not expected such a massive dragon to possess such an astonishingly beautiful human form.
His hand remained extended, waiting for the dragon before him to establish the most intimate of bonds a contract.
Since she had already decided to proceed, the Silver Dragon King did not hesitate. In her human form, she gracefully extended her delicate hand and clasped his broad palm.
At that moment
The colossal divine ring, spanning a thousand meters around Ye Cheng, erupted with dazzling radiance.
A pillar of light shot into the sky, piercing through the clouds.
The soul beasts within the divine ring's range, including Di Tian, felt as if they were lost in an ocean of light, unable to discern direction.
The contract between two Divine Kings sent shockwaves across the world. Even from the vast reaches of the universe, one could see a golden beam of light rising from the blue planet.
The audience in the livestream was in awe.
[My god, what a spectacle!]
[Do all Soul Pact Masters generate such a massive phenomenon when forming contracts?]
[Wishful thinking! This is obviously because both of them are immensely powerful. If it were an ordinary soul master even a Titled Douluo it wouldn't cause such an intense phenomenon.]
[Soul Pact Masters… If this becomes reality, it would be incredible. Just sign a contract with a high talent soul beast, let it cultivate, and my strength would skyrocket effortlessly! This is too good to be true!]
[Hahaha… Keep dreaming. By the time Soul Pact Masters are developed, you'll either be six feet under or dead in the Abyss invasion.]
[Wait, wasn't Soul Pact Master invented by Ye Cheng? If so, after watching this future video, can't he just create it ahead of time?]
[You might be onto something… Since the future is already known, as long as he follows the clues from the video, even the Ring Condensation Method might be developed earlier!]
[…]
A flood of comments filled the livestream.
Some viewers made casual remarks, while others listened intently.
In reality, many people's eyes lit up with realization this was indeed possible!
Those who had been eager for the revolutionary Ring Condensation Method now burned with anticipation. Even among the soul beasts, the realization struck if the future was already revealed, then Ye Cheng could research and implement Soul Pact Masters much earlier.
This would allow humanity and soul beasts to coexist in harmony sooner.
It would also mean breaking the God Realm's shackles on soul beasts even earlier.
A win win situation.
In the video, the awe inspiring phenomenon triggered by the contract lasted for several hours before gradually fading.
As the light dimmed, Di Tian and the other soul beasts cautiously lowered the hands shielding their eyes and anxiously looked toward Ye Cheng and the Silver Dragon King.
The two stood apart, no longer holding hands, their expressions thoughtful, as if grasping profound insights.
"It seems that Soul Pact Masters share more than just power they also share each other's comprehension and insights," Ye Cheng mused aloud.
"Indeed… Your understanding of power is quite useful to me," the Silver Dragon King admitted, her gaze toward him noticeably softer.
Clearly, after signing the contract, she had verified that there were no hidden traps.
"Likewise, your comprehension benefits me as well," Ye Cheng replied.
Both seemed very satisfied.
This relieved Di Tian and the other soul beasts.
If the contract had no issues, then Soul Pact Masters were real.
They would no longer be bound by the God Realm's restrictions, nor would they have to endure the life threatening tribulations that came every few years.
With a contract, they could break free and soar to new heights.
Afterward, Ye Cheng and the Silver Dragon King conversed further.
Before leaving, Ye Cheng shared detailed information on Soul Pact Masters with her through spiritual transmission.
His mission here was complete.
Before departing, he mentioned that he would soon return with a group of powerful, yet to become godly human soul masters, so that they could form contracts with suitable soul beasts.
He asked the Silver Dragon King to prepare and select appropriate soul beasts for these contracts.
Naturally, she agreed to this arrangement and watched as he left.
Once Ye Cheng's figure disappeared, she turned around
And was immediately met with the eager, expectant gazes of Di Tian and the other soul beasts!
Without hesitation, the Silver Dragon King transmitted the details of the Soul Pact Master contract process to them via spiritual force.
Di Tian and the others closed their eyes to absorb the information.
When they reopened them, their expressions were filled with awe.
This Soul Pact Contract was far more intricate and profound than they had imagined.
Three days later.
Ye Cheng returned to Star Dou Forest, accompanied by elite human soul masters.
Since the only Divine Beast among the soul beasts was the Silver Dragon King, none of the human soul masters he brought were god level.
Contracts had to be balanced if a god level master formed a contract with a non divine beast, the power redistribution could cause the god's divine rings to shatter, dropping them from godhood back to Titled Douluo.
Thus, for now, only non divine soul masters could sign contracts with soul beasts.
Of course, if a Divine Ring Master insisted on forming a pact with a soul beast, they could, but they had to accept the risk of a severe power decrease.
Ye Cheng's group consisted of only a few dozen human soul masters.
Not because there weren't more candidates rather, most promising young soul masters had already become gods.
And those who hadn't?
Many refused, fearing that binding themselves to a soul beast might slow their cultivation.
Finding just a few dozen willing candidates in three days was already quite an achievement.
On the soul beast side, however, hundreds of beasts each at least 100,000 years old had gathered!
The strongest among them was Di Tian, whose cultivation had reached 999,999 years just one year short of the legendary million year threshold that would make him a Divine Beast.
Yet, that final year was an impossible barrier.
No matter how hard he tried, he could not break through.
Even with the increased energy density on the continent, allowing countless 100,000 year soul beasts to emerge, his restriction remained unshaken.
Now, hundreds of 100,000 year old soul beasts had gathered for the contract signing.
But these weren't all of them some were still hesitant, choosing to observe what happened to those who signed contracts before deciding for themselves.
