If we simply follow the intelligent soul ring framework created by Tianmeng and lower the threshold so that ordinary soul beasts can also retain their own souls, then such a soul system may seem fancy, but in fact it is just fancy.
There are very few soul beasts that truly need this method.
Who has nothing better to do than to become a spirit?
If everything is based on becoming a spirit ring, then the soul spirit is indeed a better choice. However, if the conditions are relaxed and applied to the entire spirit master world, the soul spirit system is absolutely not applicable.
Not only that, such a soul system would be an even more terrible disaster for soul beasts.
Even if we don't develop in the direction of artificial souls, and there will be no extermination of soul beasts for genetic specimens, disasters are bound to happen.
Because of inheritance.
It's hard to say about the spirit ring, but since the spirit can retain the soul, there must be a chance for inheritance.
As it is passed down from generation to generation, the soul spirits may make a profit, but the soul masters will definitely not lose out. The hundred thousand year soul rings in the soul master world will accumulate more and more until the power system of the entire soul master world rises to a higher level.
The stimulation to mental power from soul to soul can be imagined.
It can be said that the soul master world has now developed to a point where it needs to standardize the cultivation of mental power system, and the soul system is just right.
Therefore, the most primitive soul cannot be used.
"If you want to avoid the soul beasts and rely on the soul master's way to become a god, you must first make sure that you are still a soul beast."
Chen Ming met Xue Di's gaze and expressed his thoughts.
"Soul, or is it a soul beast?"
In Tianmeng's spiritual sea, Bingdi fell into deep thought after listening to Chen Ming's words.
Strictly speaking, she is now considered a spirit, so is she still a soul beast?
In fact, neither Xue Di nor Ice Emperor can give this answer.
Because the definition of soul beasts is very broad, even the spirit body nurtured by heaven and earth like the Xue Di is a soul beast, and the soul body should also be considered a soul beast, but.
Chen Ming gave a decisive answer.
"no!"
Of that he was quite certain.
"In the Douluo plane, the laws of heaven and earth determine everything. All flowers, plants, and trees that have soul power are considered soul beasts. Even someone like you, Xue Di, is considered a soul beast. In addition to soul beasts, soul masters are those who can cultivate soul power. The biggest difference between soul masters and soul beasts is their soul rings."
"Soul ring?"
Xue Di didn't expect Chen Ming to interpret the difference between soul beasts and soul masters in this way.
"If a soul beast can cultivate soul rings and attach soul rings to itself, is it still a soul beast? If the number of soul rings reaches a certain level, is it considered a soul master?"
When Chen Ming said this, he no longer looked at Xue Di, but looked at Tian Meng.
"Tian Meng, your situation is special. You did not adopt the traditional form transformation. Otherwise, you would have to rely on human aura to quickly improve your cultivation. Only after you reach level 70 and obtain seven spirit rings can you completely consolidate your human identity."
"In fact, after a hundred thousand year soul beast transforms into a human and practices, before the seventh ring, it is still a soul beast, and after the seventh ring, it is a true soul master, a true human being."
"Even if he is killed, a true human spirit master will not reveal his spirit rings and spirit bones!"
Chen Ming's words were so certain that Tianmeng, Xuedi and Bingdi were a little surprised, because as soul beasts they could not be sure either.
"How can you be sure that there will be no soul rings or soul bones after the seventh ring?" Tian Meng asked in confusion.
"Because I have seen it. I have seen a Limit Douluo who was a 100,000-year-old soul beast transformed. After his death, he left nothing behind."
Du Bu Si had a strange expression on his face.
What the hell?
Has his disciple ever seen other Ultimate Douluo? Or an Ultimate Douluo who was cultivated after a hundred thousand year soul beast transformed?
"So, you firmly believe that it is the spirit ring that distinguishes humans from spirit beasts?"
"No, the spirit rings are superficial. What really distinguishes humans from spirit beasts is the spirit true body, which can only be opened by the seven rings."
Chen Ming's answer caused Xue Di and the others to think.
Martial spirit's true form?
"For a soul master, the soul ring builds a bridge between the soul master and his martial soul, integrating the power of the martial soul into the soul master. For a soul beast incarnation, the soul ring is a layer of shackles, stripping away the power of the soul beast layer by layer, binding it into a true martial soul."
"When the soul beast's identity is stripped away and it becomes a martial spirit, the soul beast's shackles will no longer exist."
Chen Ming's theory is shocking.
After listening to this, Xue Di was thinking in a daze.
What kind of fantastic thinking can come up with such a theory?
If any step in the middle cannot be determined, the reliability of the entire theory needs to be verified.
Is Chen Ming setting up all the theories first and waiting to verify them step by step?
No, Chen Ming determined every step in the middle himself time and time again, so he came up with this theory.
He has personally experienced all the key points in the process.
After being shocked, Xue Di came to her senses and looked at Chen Ming again.
"You still haven't explained clearly how your optimized soul can become a god."
"Hasn't the answer already surfaced? After transforming into a spirit, it used the spirit ring to strip away its spirit beast characteristics."
"What happens after it's stripped off?" Tian Meng asked blankly.
Chen Ming was speechless and said, "Strip off enough spirit rings and give them to the same spirit master or different spirit masters. Anyway, gather seven spirit rings and find a way to condense your spirit beast into a martial spirit. Give this martial spirit to those spirit masters or you can use it as a martial spirit. Anyway, you are no longer restricted by the restrictions of spirit beasts and will not encounter heavenly tribulations if you continue to practice."
"Although I haven't developed the specific operation yet, this is a talent and instinct. The most critical point is to tap into your ability to condense spirit rings. As long as you can condense spirit rings for spirit masters, the so-called stripping has actually begun."
"My optimized soul system still serves powerful soul beasts, and those powerful soul beasts that have the desire to become gods."
Chen Ming shrugged and said, "However, this optimized soul system should be enough to influence the entire soul beast clan."
The future is no longer dark.
The future becomes bright.
This is the most important thing for a group of people.
"Xue Di, in your current state, it is already very easy to tap into the instinct of condensing spirit rings. Once you transform into a spirit body, you should be able to master this ability directly."
"Does it have to be a soul body?" Xue Di questioned.
"Yes!" Chen Ming said, "Because only when the soul beast's body dies can the soul ring condense."
Even if it changes into a human form, it just abandons the body of a soul beast and temporarily creates a human body for itself.
"The ability to sacrifice, retain the essence of the spirit, and then stabilize the spirit body into a new life form. If these three points are achieved, it will be considered a soul. Ice Emperor is still missing the last step."
"And this requires the soul master who is being sacrificed. If you want to break away from the soul master, you have to use some special methods to interrupt the contract during the sacrifice, so that you can only enjoy the benefits of the sacrifice without bearing the cost of the sacrifice."
