Epoch-Making

The night was as dark as ink, and a damp mist permeated the depths of the forest.

The yellow Spirit Ring floated quietly above the corpse of the Mandala Snake, emitting a soft glow that was particularly striking in the dim environment.

The smell of blood still lingered in the air, mixed with the scent of earth and vegetation, involuntarily tightening everyone's nerves.

Tang San took a deep breath, the cool air filling his lungs and slightly calming the blood that had been boiling from the battle.

He sat cross-legged according to the method Yu Xiao Gang had taught him, his hands resting naturally on his knees, preparing to absorb the Spirit Ring.

The Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul flickered faintly in his palm, its delicate vines coiling around his fingertips as if yearning for something.

"Wait!" Yu Xiao Gang suddenly reached out and stopped Tang San, pulling out a worn pocket watch from his embrace. The bronze casing was covered in the marks of time, and the numbers on the dial were somewhat blurred.

He frowned, squinting to discern the position of the hands in the faint moonlight. "According to my 'Relationship Between Spirit Ring Absorption Time and Success Rate' table, the optimal absorption period should be..."

Michael stood by, his long hair gently swaying in the night wind.

He keenly sensed the fluctuations of Spirit Power around him, his brow furrowing slightly.

Clearing his throat, he interrupted the Soul Grand Master's lengthy discourse, "Master, the Spirit Ring's energy is dissipating." His voice was soft but carried an undeniable urgency.

Yu Xiao Gang finally snapped back to reality, quickly putting away his pocket watch with a crisp clinking of its chain. "Right, right, Xiao San, hurry up and start."

He adjusted his glasses, the lenses reflecting the light of the Spirit Ring. "Remember, use your Spirit Power to guide the energy along your meridians. If you feel uncomfortable, stop immediately. Especially near the third acupoint, that's where energy stagnation is most likely to occur..."

Tang San had already closed his eyes, his long eyelashes casting small shadows on his face.

The Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul automatically released, a pale blue light surging from within him, resonating with the Spirit Ring.

The yellow halo slowly descended, like an exquisite crown, settling upon the Blue Silver Grass.

Subtle energy fluctuations rippled through the air, causing the surrounding grass leaves to sway as if in a breeze.

At this critical moment, a strange tremor suddenly came from the depths of the forest.

The ground began to shake slightly, small stones bouncing on the earth, and leaves rustling, as if some colossal creature was approaching. Birds in the distance were startled, taking flight into the night sky with a flutter of wings.

Michael immediately turned around, his silver pupils flashing with a cold glint in the darkness.

His hand had already rested on the hilt of his sword at his waist, ready to draw it at any moment.

But strangely, as soon as the entity approached within a hundred meters, it seemed to sense something terrifying, letting out a low whimper before immediately turning and leaving.

The heavy footsteps gradually receded, eventually disappearing into the dense forest.

"Strange..." Michael muttered to himself, his silvery brow tightly furrowed. He keenly sensed a trace of abnormal Spirit Power fluctuation lingering in the air, a presence that no ordinary Soul Beast could possess.

Yu Xiao Gang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked up at the sky. Dark clouds were gathering, obscuring the previously bright moonlight. "It's going to rain," he murmured, "The sky is hazy, it really looks like a heavy rain is coming." The damp wind stirred the fallen leaves on the ground, carrying the premonition of distant thunderstorms.

Meanwhile, in the distant Spirit City, the night was equally deep.

The towering spires of the Angel Sanctuary pierced the night sky, their golden decorations gleaming under the moonlight. Solomon had returned. He was clad in a white robe embroidered with golden patterns, standing in the circular hall at the center of the Sanctuary.

After bidding farewell to Ye Lingtong, he had returned here on his Winged Unicorn.

At this moment, the elegant creature stood quietly beside him, its silver-white wings folded at its sides, its spiral horn emitting a soft glow. Its eyes were like two sapphires, reflecting the candlelight burning within the Sanctuary.

Lucifer (Bibi Dong) had finished her official duties and was walking towards the Angel Sanctuary along a corridor carpeted in red.

She held a stack of documents, her high heels clicking crisply on the marble floor. Moonlight filtered through the stained-glass windows, casting colorful shadows on her golden hair, adding a touch of mysterious allure to her exquisite beauty.

Just as she was about to report on the day's affairs, her gaze was drawn to the Winged Unicorn beside Solomon.

The Spirit Power fluctuations emanating from this creature instantly put her on alert.

"Is this a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?" Her violet eyes narrowed slightly, and her fingertips unconsciously touched the Pope's scepter at her waist. The gem at the top of the scepter sensed its owner's emotions and began to emit a faint red glow.

Solomon turned around, the moonlight outlining the perfect profile of his face.

He gently stroked the Winged Unicorn's newly grown wings, the metallic sheen of its feathers rippling with silvery light under his touch.

"More accurately, a contracted partner," his voice was deep and magnetic, echoing in the empty hall.

The Soul Beast lowered its head obediently, the golden patterns on its spiral horn flickering with its breath. It let out a soft neigh, its sound like clear spring water flowing over jade, creating faint echoes within the Sanctuary.

Lucifer cautiously took a step forward, her long dress rustling softly against the floor.

"I've never seen a Soul Beast like this," she said cautiously, "This is quite novel."

Solomon smiled slightly, a hint of self-satisfaction in his expression.

This was a contract he had created himself, a legendary contract that brought the Soul Beast Pokemon into reality.

It was normal that she hadn't seen it before.

"It comes from the core area of the Star Dou Forest, named Winged Unicorn, and will be my partner from now on." His long fingers continued to stroke the unicorn's mane. "On this trip, I improved the method of absorbing Spirit Rings. Instead of killing Soul Beasts to obtain Spirit Rings, it's better to sign a contract with them and let them become partners, which leads to more efficient combat."

"This is what I have created, the unique Soul Beast Pokemon Contract." Solomon calmly reiterated his concept, explaining it to Lucifer.

This contract, where 1+1 was greater than 2, was a unique creation not only on the Douluo Continent but on the entire Douluo Star!

This was definitely something that could change history.

After listening to Solomon's explanation, Lucifer quickly grasped the key points.

"...Doesn't that mean the era of peace between humans and Soul Beasts is about to arrive?"

"Following the will of the Lord, let that era come sooner." Solomon smiled. "The Lord probably wouldn't want to see killing."

"However," Lucifer's beautiful face showed a hint of worry, "If this plan is to be implemented across the entire continent, it will definitely be obstructed by local aristocratic forces. Those nobles will certainly not agree to this kind of action that allows the populace to gain power."
