Chapter 158: Di Tian's Promise, Unifying the Sun Moon Empire's Faith!
After creating the spirit soul method, Yun Yuan began constructing the Spirit Pagoda within the Sun Moon Empire.
Apart from that, he also had the Sun Moon Empire's intelligence forces widely publicize the function of the Spirit Pagoda and promote the effects of spirit souls.
After several days of fermentation, all the soul masters throughout the Sun Moon Empire had already understood what spirit souls were.
Spirit souls could provide multiple soul rings.
A ten-year spirit soul provided one soul ring, a hundred-year spirit soul provided two, a thousand-year spirit soul provided three, a ten-thousand-year spirit soul provided four, and a hundred-thousand-year spirit soul provided five.
After soul beasts became spirit souls, they could also become battle partners and strengthen a soul master's combat power. Not only that, spirit souls could cultivate and grow stronger alongside the soul masters.
If the two major spirit souls a soul master possessed throughout their life both evolved to the hundred-thousand-year level, then this would mean that all nine of the soul rings of the soul master would be blood-red soul rings.
After the spirit soul method appeared, all soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire were eagerly waiting.
Just thinking about the possibility of possessing nine hundred-thousand-year soul rings in the future made them eager to obtain a spirit soul.
However, at this time, Yun Yuan had only just finished constructing the contract core of the Spirit Pagoda.
In the following days, he planned to visit various soul beast habitats within the Sun Moon Empire and discuss the spirit soul method with soul beasts above the hundred-thousand-year level.
Once that was accomplished, spirit soul technology could truly become widespread throughout the Sun Moon Empire.
Time flowed like falling flowers and running water. Yun Yuan remained constantly busy within the empire.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed.
By this time, the Spirit Pagoda had already been established, and spirit soul technology had begun to spread widely.
Every soul master possessed a spirit soul.
They regarded their first spirit soul as their closest friend and comrade, and the bond between them continued to deepen.
Hunting soul beasts had already become a forbidden act within the Sun Moon Empire.
The relationship between soul beasts and humans continued to improve, with both sides relying on each other to become stronger.
This thriving situation was the result of the soul beast race's long-pursued goal.
Yun Yuan achieved it today.
He stood on the highest floor of the Spirit Pagoda in Ming City, gazing at the setting sun.
With a thought, the five black, two red, and two golden soul rings belonging to his Atlas Spear martial soul appeared.
A blazing white light emerged from his fingertip as he lightly touched the ninth soul ring on his body.
Soon after, an illusory figure dressed in black appeared before Yun Yuan.
"How is this ending?" Yun Yuan asked, glancing at the black figure beside him.
This black figure was a fragment of Di Tian's soul.
After killing Di Tian, Yun Yuan used his spiritual power to preserve a trace of Di Tian's soul within his ninth soul ring, preventing it from dispersing completely, preparing for unforeseen circumstances.
Di Tian was the strongest existence in the Star Dou Great Forest and a member of the dragon race who protected the Silver Dragon King.
In Yun Yuan's view, preserving a trace of Di Tian's soul was always beneficial.
Perhaps one day, there would be a place where Di Tian could be useful.
After establishing the Spirit Pagoda, Yun Yuan awakened Di Tian's soul fragment.
During this period, Di Tian personally witnessed everything Yun Yuan had done.
He never expected that this human who had killed him in the past would accomplish such a world-shaking feat.
The peaceful coexistence between humans and soul beasts had already been fully realized by him.
"Human, I owe you a great favor. The soul beast race owes you a great favor."
"You awakened me some time ago, so I assume there must be something you need from me. Since I, Di Tian, already owe you a great favor, I will do whatever I can to fulfill your request."
At this moment, Di Tian also clearly understood Yun Yuan's nature.
This human held no hatred toward the soul beast race.
To a certain extent, he could be considered one of the few friends of the soul beast race.
'What a pity. If I could have predicted the future and helped this human earlier, perhaps when his abilities became sufficient, the rule that soul beasts cannot become gods could be changed.'
Di Tian looked at Yun Yuan and sighed inwardly.
Regarding Yun Yuan's future achievements, Di Tian had no doubt. This human would definitely become a God King.
In his speculation, Yun Yuan might even reach the same level as the Dragon God.
If the soul beast race had a connection with him, then after he grew up, perhaps the race would rise again.
But the past had already passed. The former him would not have known this future, nor would he have helped a human soul master.
Hearing Di Tian's promise, Yun Yuan's mouth curved into a slight smile.
With Di Tian's guarantee, he could head directly to the Great Fierce Land deep within the Lake of Life.
Even if the Silver Dragon King awakened, with Di Tian around, Yun Yuan could guarantee his safety.
"Di Tian, I will return to the Douluo Continent soon. I plan to establish the Spirit Pagoda there as well."
"Spreading spirit soul technology and allowing humans and soul beasts to coexist peacefully—when that time comes, I will need your help."
"I couldn't ask for more!"
As Yun Yuan expected, Di Tian agreed without hesitation.
After all, the spirit soul method brought enormous benefits to the soul beast race.
As a member of that race, Di Tian naturally wanted to see the spirit soul method spread widely.
A few days later:
"Lord Imperial Preceptor, are you leaving the Sun Moon Empire?"
Inside Yun Yuan's office within the Spirit Pagoda, Ye Hongchen looked at this miraculous man with reluctance on his face.
In less than a year since Yun Yuan arrived, the entire Sun Moon Empire had undergone earth-shaking changes.
First, he outlined the path of soul engineers, filling their hearts with hope.
Second, the appearance of the Spirit Pagoda enabled soul masters to possess spirit souls, altering the long-standing soul ring system and allowing humans and soul beasts to coexist peacefully.
It could be said that, at this moment, throughout the Sun Moon Continent, whether human or soul beast, everyone regarded Yun Yuan as their idol and worshiped him wholeheartedly.
"Ye, I do have to leave the Sun Moon Empire."
"You know I came from across the sea. I do not belong to this empire. After spreading the soul engineer system and spirit soul technology, my mission here is complete."
"Now, it is time for me to return to my homeland."
Yun Yuan saw Ye Hongchen's reluctance and immediately explained.
"Lord Imperial Preceptor, Ye will wait here for your return."
Seeing Yun Yuan's determination, Ye Hongchen no longer tried to persuade him to stay.
However, he knelt on one knee before Yun Yuan, expressing his feelings with sincerity.
"Ye, there is no need to be so sad. I will return in the future."
Very soon, Yun Yuan left the Sun Moon Continent and headed back toward the Douluo Continent.
Yun Yuan was very satisfied with the gains from this trip.
He had already unified the faith of an entire continent.
Once he spread spirit soul technology across the Douluo Continent and the Endless Sea, his path toward creating his own god position would be more than halfway complete.
