Although Xiao Tianyang had not directly participated in the Plane Fusion process, a closer look revealed that his handiwork was everywhere.
First, Yue Shen had devised the continent's overall layout, and Xiao Tianyang had made the final decision.
Second, Douluo Continent's own recycling mechanism had changed because of the [Collector].
The effects of the former were immediate.
The latter, however, required time to settle before results could be seen.
As for exactly how long, Xiao Tianyang had no experience with it and naturally did not know.
However, judging from the current changes, the replacement of the plane's mechanisms was proceeding quite quickly.
His original plan had been to recycle Soul Rings himself.
Yet now, by using the plane's own recycling mechanism, he had eliminated a step.
Previously, an unabsorbed Soul Ring would vanish after some time.
The duration depended on the Soul Ring's quality.
Xiao Tianyang had merely altered some of the recycling mechanism's details.
Originally, a Soul Ring would collapse into energy, be absorbed by the recycling mechanism, and then be returned to the plane itself.
Now, the plane itself used life force to stabilize the Soul Ring's structure and stored it within a specific space.
Following the original process, a Soul Master needed a Soul Ring as a medium to break through.
Whether in the past or now, the essence was to place the Soul Ring to be absorbed before oneself.
First sense it, then absorb it, and finally refine it for one's own use.
If the new recycling mechanism succeeded, Soul Masters would no longer need to search for Soul Rings.
They could simply seek out Soul Rings suited to them within that space.
If they were strong enough, they could naturally choose the Soul Ring best suited to them.
If they were not strong enough, they
