Even more, the moment Electrolux uttered the words "Physical Godhood," Huo Yuhao naturally associated it with another path.
That was achieving godhood through soul power.
Normal soul masters have their own dantian to store soul power, but the path of soul power godhood involves increasing one's soul power reserves, using quantitative change to trigger qualitative change!
As for the specific implementation, Huo Yuhao naturally thought of his own method of letting a soul ring host a soul core.
If it were modified so that the soul ring could carry soul skills like a normal one, but simultaneously act as a "soul power storage device," would that be feasible?
At this moment, Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered as countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
Whether it was researching artificial soul bones or the brand-new branch Electrolux had just developed, the essence was to separate humanity from the soul beast race.
Within this, soul rings, soul bones, and the flesh of soul beasts—which acted as a great tonic for humans—were three unavoidable problems.
But now, the soul ring issue had been solved by artificial soul rings, and the soul beast flesh could be addressed by mass-planting heavenly treasures. This final issue, the soul bone, could be tackled directly through the cultivation system!
These two paths... well, for now, let's call them "Body Cultivation" and "Magic Cultivation." In short, these two paths indeed allowed soul masters to completely discard soul bones. But what about traditional soul masters?
One must know there are always stubborn, old-fashioned existences who love clinging to their outdated customs while pointing fingers at emerging things. What should be done about them?
Simple: a direct blockade!
Any cultivation path, aside from the most important main trunk, should extend into various branches to ensure the diversity of the system.
Currently, whether it was the path the Sun Moon Empire was developing—shaping soul tools with soul rings—or this "Body Cultivation" path and the conceptual "Magic Cultivation" path, all were definitely more potent than traditional soul masters.
However, no matter how these paths developed, unless they invented a method to self-condense soul rings, they would inevitably rely on his artificial soul rings!
It could be said that Huo Yuhao now held the most vital link of the soul master system: the soul ring! This was equivalent to him controlling the main trunk of the entire system!
If you don't switch to a path I've laid out, I'll block the road ahead of you. Let's see if you walk then!
The change of the era had arrived. Regardless of whether they accepted it, they had to face the facts!
Whatever results Huo Yuhao produced, they could only passively accept them. This was the absolute right he possessed as the complete controller of artificial soul rings.
Heh... I suddenly feel strangely dictatorial.
"I understand, Elder Yi."
As Huo Yuhao spoke, a plan had already formed in his mind.
Electrolux nodded, knowing his student already had an idea.
This student of his, though human, seemed to lean more toward soul beasts because of his past experiences.
But this didn't mean he chose to abandon his human identity; rather, he was attempting to stand between humans and soul beasts, keeping the scales balanced.
He was trying to reform the soul master system to separate it from soul beasts, creating a "perfect" cultivation system that could accommodate everyone.
Ambitious and full of spirit.
However, he noticed that his student occasionally tended to go to extremes and often remained in a state of "guilt," trying to compensate for everything alone.
Although he was much better now—knowing how to delegate tasks to others rather than doing everything himself—he still buried secrets deep in his heart.
Was this a good habit? Not exactly, as it's easy for a person to get stuck in a horn's point.
Was it a bad habit? Not necessarily, as Huo Yuhao truly had the capability.
One could only say that geniuses have their own unique traits.
...
A month passed in the blink of an eye within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
At this moment, Tang Ya sat cross-legged with her eyes closed on the Blue Silver Grass lawn. Soul power permeated from her body, forming threads that wrapped around and guided the thousand-year soul ring before her.
A thousand-year soul ring formed by the Blue Silver Emperor herself using the "Artificial Soul Ring Device" was nothing less than an opportunity for evolution for Tang Ya's martial soul.
The purple thousand-year soul ring bit by bit settled onto Tang Ya's martial soul. Simultaneously, her martial soul began to change, gradually revealing faint golden patterns.
Martial soul evolution: Blue Silver King!
Having eaten various specially selected Blue Silver Grasses—equivalent to low-quality heavenly treasures—for nearly half a year had already caused slight changes in Tang Ya's martial soul.
And now, absorbing a soul ring condensed from the Blue Silver Emperor's energy allowed Tang Ya to successfully cross the final hurdle, evolving her martial soul into the Blue Silver King.
Once the absorption was complete, Tang Ya slowly opened her eyes.
Feeling her evolved martial soul, which was significantly stronger than before, a look of excitement naturally appeared on Tang Ya's face!
For her, this undoubtedly meant her chances of taking revenge personally had increased! How could she not be excited?
However, just as Tang Ya prepared to share her joy with her best friend, a clean hand reached out in front of her and flattened.
Tang Ya: "..."
The smile froze on her face, and Tang Ya suddenly felt aggrieved.
So my attractiveness isn't even as high as my martial soul, is it?! It's research, research all day long! I curse you to spend your whole life with grass!!!
Tang Ya was pouting, but she had no choice. She summoned her martial soul and reluctantly placed it in Huo Yuhao's hand.
Ignoring Tang Ya's internal drama, the Eye of Destiny on Huo Yuhao's forehead became prominent, and the countless threads connected by fate became clear.
Under the perspective of the Eye of Destiny, every detail of the moment Tang Ya's martial soul evolved was clearly presented before Huo Yuhao.
「Destiny · Retrograde」.
By using the Eye of Destiny's ability to see the threads of all things, Huo Yuhao could see everything that had ever happened to an object... including a martial soul.
After watching the evolution process several times, Huo Yuhao directly transmitted everything that happened during the evolution to the Blue Silver Emperor via Spiritual Sharing.
"Did you see it clearly?"
Huo Yuhao looked at the Blue Silver Emperor.
"I saw it clearly, Tower Master."
The Blue Silver Emperor's deep voice responded.
"How much certainty do you have?"
"For now... 50%." After some hesitation, the Blue Silver Emperor gave a somewhat vague answer.
Huo Yuhao nodded, not surprised.
Perfecting the "Blood Essence · Body Cultivator" and "Energy Storage Ring · Magic Cultivator" systems wasn't something that could be done overnight.
In comparison, the "Blue Silver Soul Engine," which had already begun to take shape, was clearly more cost-effective.
"Specific cultivation time?"
"Roughly... it should take six months to a year to cultivate the first batch of Dark Blue Silver Kings."
The Blue Silver Emperor, who had completely turned into a heartless "working grass," gave her calculated result.
