By the By Heaven's Mandate, the Yellow Emperor's Decree:
This is Zhou Chen's Fifth Soul Skill.
As the name suggests, the function of this Soul Skill is to issue a divine decree to any living or non-living entity, that is, to issue an order and modify the causal line, time line, and spatial line to force the other party to obey.
For example, if someone offends Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen can issue a death warrant for him!
In other words, it means ordering the other party to die.
Zhou Chen could also specify the types of death warrants. For example, if the Self-Execution Death Decree, the recipient would have to kill themselves!
If the Fiery Death Decree, the recipient will be burned to death!
If the decree issued is Tribulation Death Decree, the other party will be struck dead by lightning!
Even if the opponent is a titled Douluo with overwhelming strength, it is difficult to escape death, and they can only obediently die!
Not only that, Zhou Chen can also issue decrees to inanimate objects in nature.
For example, you could command the ocean to create a tsunami that could sweep through a city!
For example, you could command the air to be evacuated from a certain area, creating a vacuum zone!
He can issue an edict to ensure good weather and abundant harvests in a certain area, or he can cause landslides and earthquakes in that region!
This is the Yellow Emperor's Decree in By Heaven's Mandate!
An incredibly powerful supernatural ability!!
Of course, any powerful supernatural ability has its limitations, because the universe is balanced.
First of all, this Fifth Soul Skill has a limit on the number of times it can be used.
The Yellow Emperor Calendar can only be used once every thirty lunar days.
Converted to the time frame of the Douluo Continent, it's about 37 days, which means it can be used once a month or so.
However, as Zhou Chen's strength increases, this time will gradually shorten. Once he breaks through to the Spirit Transformation stage, he will be able to use it freely without any time restrictions.
Secondly, to activate the Fifth Soul Skill, one must be within a certain distance.
For example, if Zhou Chen wants a city to have good weather and abundant harvests, he must be near that city! If Zhou Chen wants to kill someone, he must be within 500 meters.
The By Heaven's Mandate Soul Skill does not support the kind of operation where one can unleash power from thousands of miles away; that would be too much.
Third, and most importantly, the issuance of imperial edicts and orders requires spending real money!
That means you have to pay the equivalent amount of Gold Soul Coin!
Furthermore, the number of Gold Soul Coin required varies depending on the difficulty of the command being issued.
For example, with Zhou Chen's current cultivation level, if he wanted to issue an edict to eliminate an ordinary person who has no cultivation or power, one Gold Soul Coin would be enough.
But if you want to order a Title Douluo or an emperor to die, you'll need at least 100 million Gold Soul Coin! Or even more!
Because the cultivation level of the Title Douluo far exceeds that of Zhou Chen, it is very difficult to issue an edict to kill him, and it would require extra money!
Of course, difficulty is relative.
For example, when Zhou Chen's strength reaches level 90 or above, if he wants to issue an edict to kill a Title Douluo, he might only need ten million Gold Soul Coin, or even less.
If Zhou Chen breaks through level 100 and becomes a god, then issuing an edict to kill a titled Douluo, or to unleash a tsunami, create a hurricane, or an earthquake, might only require one Copper Soul Coin.
To put it bluntly, this Fifth Soul Skill means that as long as you have money and power, you can do whatever you want.
If you have neither money nor ability, then I'm sorry.
In short, it has a strong pay-to-win vibe.
The only saving grace is that Zhou Chen is not short of money right now.
Even if he spent 100 million to buy his Fifth Soul Ring, he still had hundreds of millions of Gold Soul Coin at his disposal.
That's enough to easily wipe out several Title Douluo.
With a long sigh of relief, Zhou Chen was about to get up and go out to stretch his muscles when the System's fawning voice sounded again:
"Host, now that you've bought Soul Ring, aren't you going to try your luck with a few more draws?"
"Well... okay."
Zhou Chen nodded, ultimately unable to resist the System's allure.
The System's System had only fueled his urge to participate in the lottery; he was now itching to do so and simply couldn't resist.
"Let's draw ten prizes first!" Zhou Chen waved his hand.
Upon hearing that Zhou Chen would only draw ten times, the System immediately tempted him, "Host, you now possess hundreds of millions of Gold Soul Coin, how can you only draw ten times?"
"Hehe, I System you told me last time that your maximum number of draws at once was ten! You can only continue drawing after you've drawn ten times."
Zhou Chen chuckled coldly.
"Hehe, now that you're a VIP customer, you deserve VIP treatment. From this day forward, you'll have no restrictions whatsoever—draw whatever you want!"
The System's obsequious, ingratiating, and humble way.
"Oh, then let's set a small goal first: draw 10,000 times and win 100 million," Zhou Chen said casually.
"Okay."
The System agreed instantly, giving Zhou Chen no chance to back out.
"Ding... Received, processing."
"Ding...100 million Gold Yuan Points deducted, 10,000 lottery draws."
Instantly, in Zhou Chen's mind, the colorful turntables in the five columns of [Pills], [Cultivation Techniques], [Bloodline], [Items], and [Supernatural Powers] all lit up and began to spin continuously.
"Ding... Draw a [Item] type reward: Black Hole Grenade - This item comes from Dark World Vanaheim, one of the Nine Realms under the rule of Asgard. The Black Hole Grenade is the standard weapon of the Dark Elves, the mortal enemies of the Aesir Gods. When it explodes, it instantly generates a shockwave around it, with enough energy to create a small, temporary black hole that sucks everything within a five-meter radius into it."
Friendly reminder: The power of the Black Hole Grenade can easily kill Foundation Establishment cultivator, has a 50% chance of killing Golden Core Stage cultivator, and poses a threat to a Nascent Soul cultivator.
"This power... is not bad."
Zhou Chen raised an eyebrow, saying it was alright, but inwardly he was overjoyed.
If we convert the cultivation system into the Soul Master levels of the Douluo Continent, the Foundation Establishment stage corresponds to Soul Elder level 31 to Soul Emperor level 70.
The Golden Core Stage corresponds to Soul Saint level 71 to Soul Douluo level 90.
The Nascent Soul stage corresponds to a Title Douluo of level 91 or above!
Of course, given that the Soul Master Body Refinement is relatively crude and of low quality, cultivators at the Golden Core Stage can often easily defeat Title Douluo at the Nascent Soul.
Cultivators' lifespans are several times longer than those of Soul Master. While a Title Douluo's lifespan rarely exceeds two hundred years, a Nascent Soul cultivator's average lifespan exceeds one thousand years, with some even reaching two thousand!
However, this was not a problem for Zhou Chen to consider.
What he cares about now is the power of this Black Hole Grenade, which can instantly kill all Soul Master below the Soul Saint, and has a one-in-five chance of killing Soul Saint and Soul Douluo!
Excellent, excellent!
"Ding... Draw a [Item] type reward: Black Hole Grenade - This item comes from Asgard..."
"Ding... Draw a [Item] type reward: Black Hole Grenade..."
"Ding... Black Hole Grenade..."
As the System continued to extract data, Zhou Chen's expression quickly changed.
The System has already extracted over three hundred Black Hole Grenade from him, and there's no sign of it stopping.
It seems that ever since he became rich, the System has taken to repeatedly drawing the same item, almost like copying and pasting...
