Chapter 208: A World Where Humans and Soul Beasts Coexist
At the very moment when Di Tian ascended to become a Divine Beast, the bearded man on the ground also completed his transformation. Due to the feedback from his contracted partner, he successfully merged his nine soul rings into one, forming a brand new Divine Ring!
As he became a god, a powerful dragon roar erupted from within him. A phantom of a fire dragon emerged, glowing brilliantly as it evolved his once wingless subspecies of fire dragon transformed into a true, winged fire dragon!
The sight ignited fervent excitement among the surrounding soul masters. Many were now impatient, eager to immediately form their contracts with their chosen partners. They too wanted to become gods!
[It worked!]
[It really worked!]
[A soul beast's power can truly elevate a soul master! Soul Pact Masters are real!]
[I'm so jealous! When will Lord Ye Cheng finally create the Soul Pact system?!]
The livestream audience was overwhelmed with excitement, their eyes burning with envy. They wished they could trade places with the fortunate individuals in the video.
Meanwhile, in reality, Di Tian and the other soul beasts were beyond ecstatic as they watched the scene unfold. Di Tian himself trembled with uncontrollable excitement as he saw his future divine form something he had dreamed of for hundreds of thousands of years!
In the Divine Realm.
The five God Kings were visibly shaken upon witnessing this.
"We must find a way to stop this! If this system spreads, all of our efforts will have been in vain," the God of Destruction said with a deep frown.
"And how exactly do you propose we stop it?" the Evil God questioned, raising a very real problem.
The other four God Kings fell silent.
Stop it?
It was easy to say, but tampering with world rules was no simple matter. Not to mention that the mysterious Q&A system existed within Douluo Continent. Even if they risked everything to alter the world's rules, there was no guarantee of success.
Worse yet, if their actions triggered the Q&A system's retaliation, it might bring disaster upon the Divine Realm instead.
Frustrated, the five God Kings came to a bitter realization ever since that mysterious Q&A system appeared, they had been completely powerless when it came to Douluo Continent.
It was utterly suffocating.
In the video.
With Di Tian successfully ascending to become a Divine Beast upon forming his contract, the other ferocious beasts were greatly encouraged. One after another, they began forming Soul Pacts with their chosen soul masters.
However, unlike Di Tian, these beasts did not immediately break through into divine status. Their accumulations, while significant, were still far weaker in comparison. They needed more time before reaching godhood.
Of course, this waiting period wouldn't be too long. With Douluo Star's energy levels now rivaling the Divine Realm, these once talent limited soul beasts, now freed from shackles and heavenly tribulations, would grow at an astonishing pace.
Unlike humans, a soul beast's cultivation primarily depended on its bloodline.
As long as the bloodline was strong enough, and with sufficient energy and an ideal environment, a soul beast could rapidly achieve higher levels of strength.
On the sidelines, Ye Cheng watched as more and more humans and soul beasts formed bonds, experiencing significant power boosts through their partnerships. He nodded in satisfaction, convinced that Soul Pact Masters had a bright future.
After everything was settled, Ye Cheng took the soul masters back with him.
In the following years, the newly established Soul Pact Master system saw explosive growth!
The livestream audience quickly realized that Douluo Continent had once again undergone drastic changes.
Previously, soul beasts could only be found in the Soul Beast Forests. But now? They were everywhere, fully integrated into daily life.
Even six or seven year old children could be seen with soul beast cubs by their sides obviously bonded from an early age.
The reason?
People had discovered that the moment a soul beast signed a contract with a human, its intelligence would immediately increase regardless of its age or strength.
Even a mere 10 year old soul beast could gain wisdom far beyond its normal level just by forming a contract with a human.
This discovery thrilled both humans and soul beasts.
In the past, soul beasts needed to reach at least 10,000 years before gaining high intelligence. Before that, they were simply stronger versions of wild animals highly aggressive and difficult to communicate with.
At first, Ye Cheng and the others believed that only 10,000 year old soul beasts and Soul Kings or higher could form contracts.
But after realizing that forming a contract enhanced a soul beast's intelligence, a bold new idea emerged what if they lowered the requirements?
Thus, it was decided as long as a soul master could form their first soul ring, they could attempt to form a Soul Pact!
This decision changed everything.
In this new era, where every single person possessed soul power, and almost everyone had at least one soul ring, this meant that anyone could become a Soul Pact Master and have their own soul beast partner!
From that moment on, there was no turning back.
Another 200 years passed.
The video now showcased a fully transformed Douluo Continent a world where humans and soul beasts coexisted in harmony.
Soul beasts were no longer confined to the wild; they had become an integral part of society. Nearly every person had their own contracted soul beast.
This shift even led to the creation of a new competitive event a modernized version of the Soul Master Tournaments.
However, the rule was different from before.
Now, participating in battle required both the soul master and their contracted soul beast to fight as a team.
This tournament was officially named The All Continent Soul Pact Tournament!
At this point, the livestream audience was completely stunned.
The screen showed a grand arena, with soul masters and soul beasts standing side by side in a battle ready stance.
The referee announced the start of the match.
Immediately, synchronized teamwork between humans and soul beasts unfolded before everyone's eyes.
The stadium was packed with excited spectators.
Many of them were accompanied by their own soul beasts, enthusiastically cheering for the fighters.
In this new world, humans and soul beasts had truly achieved harmony.
[Holy…!]
[Unbelievable!]
[I can't believe this is the same Douluo Continent!]
[Weren't soul beasts supposed to be terrifying and untamable?]
[Wait, did I just see a soul beast… babysitting a human child?! And another doing house chores?! What is this, a nanny or a soul beast?!]
[Actually, when you think about it, if soul beasts can truly understand humans, aren't they kind of… adorable?]
[Yeah… Now I really want Ye Cheng to hurry up and create the Soul Pact system in real life! I need to bond with a soul beast too!]
One comment after another filled the screen. Many were now eager to experience what they saw in the video.
Of course, most of the commentators didn't actually see soul beasts as equals.
In their minds, soul beasts were still tools useful weapons or, at best, pets.
And that mindset was unlikely to change overnight.
After all, at this point in reality, humans still depended on soul beasts for soul rings.
They were still considered prey rather than partners.
