He could only breed three times a day, not because Di Tian could only fire off three loads of youth, but because only those three loads contained the Transcendent Reproduction ability needed to successfully breed the sows.
Three times a day was not Di Tian's limit, but the limit of the ability. After all, for many people, three times a day was practically health maintenance, let alone for a Beast God with golden kidneys.
Still, there was nothing to be done about the three-time limit.
In the end, Di Tian did not agree to come along. Since he could become a father painlessly, he certainly did not want to see the sows responsible for breeding.
After all, he was the dignified Beast God. When had he fallen so low that even sows could be with him? If he could avoid seeing them, he naturally would.
He would come see his descendants a month later. By then, these female beasts would also have died, so it would no longer count as defiling his bloodline.
Though he looked down on them, Di Tian still respected them. After all, they were contributing their lives to the development of the soul beast race. Still, out of sight, out of mind.
Lin Chen, on the other hand, watched the entire process from beginning to end. This concerned his future, after all. Whether it was raising these soul beasts or receiving Soul Power feedback from them, this was his starting point.
A towering building rose from level ground. Nothing could go wrong.
However, perhaps because of the contract, or perhaps because he was the origin of it all, once the Beast God's youth was injected into the sows' bodies, Lin Chen quickly sensed three traces of life quietly appearing within them.
Lin Chen could not help marveling at how awesome Transcendent Reproduction was. It seemed his soul beast farm would soon be up and running.
Three a day, ninety in a month. He was only six years old now. By the time the plot officially began, he could command an army of thousands. Just thinking about it got Lin Chen completely fired up.
Seeing how smoothly the breeding had gone, Lin Chen finally relaxed. After giving the staff in the small world a few more instructions, he left the small world.
He had arranged everything thoroughly, from breeding to caring for the pregnant sows and then feeding the offspring. The entire underground operation responsible for raising soul beasts for him was now fully operational.
Soul Tool cars came and went, transporting countless supplies. To other factions, it all looked perfectly normal.
Yet no one knew that a terrifying farm had already begun operating here. Before long, it would shock the entire continent.
Bear Lord, Scarlet King, and the Myriad Demon King, like Di Tian, had all prepared to live in the small world long-term.
Though he found it troublesome, Lin Chen still arranged for his subordinates to build residences suited to the three of them. They were three terrifyingly powerful savage beasts, after all. There was no harm in treating them well.
However, the three of them were only allowed to move about within the small world and could not enter the outside world.
Di Tian was different. Lin Chen placed few restrictions on him. After breeding each day, he could arrange the rest of his time however he wished and do whatever he wanted. After all, his public identity was Lin Chen's soul spirit.
Speaking of soul spirits, the soul spirit system had developed for ten thousand years and was already quite refined.
The soul spirit system had been created by Huo Yuhao, then perfected and promoted by the Spirit Pagoda, making everyone dependent on both soul spirits and the Spirit Pagoda.
Lin Chen vaguely remembered that after Gu Yuena created artificial ten-thousand-year soul spirits, she had left a hidden mechanism within them. Every being who fused with a soul spirit had to obey her.
There were still at least a dozen years before ten-thousand-year soul spirits were born, so he was safe for now. He needed to stockpile more soul spirits. This was something he truly needed to take seriously.
Moreover, according to the feedback from his cheat, as long as the hatched soul beasts had enough energy, they could rapidly increase their cultivation. This was because these descendants had also inherited the Extraordinary Growth ability.
Providing them with energy-rich food would allow them to grow quickly, while providing pure Soul Power energy would let them rapidly become stronger.
Lin Chen did not lack energy. The ocean contained countless resources rich in energy and nutrition.
Although sea soul beasts had also been persecuted to the brink of extinction, the ocean was filled with abundant marine products. Ordinary animals could not evolve into soul beasts. Soul beasts were born as soul beasts; there was no such thing as acquiring it through later evolution.
The ocean possessed a complete ecosystem and abundant resources. Nourished by Soul Power, many rare marine products contained extremely pure Soul Power energy.
In this era, these were also substitutes for soul beast meat. After all, soul beasts were nearly extinct, so the ocean could only be heavily developed.
The reason Lin Chen had chosen to develop near the sea was because it offered an endless supply of food.
But Lin Chen's ambitions went far beyond that.
He did not merely want the soul beasts he raised to grow quickly. He also wanted them to increase their cultivation rapidly.
And in this era, aside from immortal herbs, spirit fruits, and soul bones, the treasures containing the purest Soul Power were the soul spirits held by the Spirit Pagoda.
They had slaughtered the entire soul beast race, turned soul rings into soul spirits, and then stored those soul spirits through special methods.
Wasn't all of this prepared for him?
He had never considered buying soul spirits from the Spirit Pagoda. With the three Beast Kings at his disposal, a zero-cost shopping spree was naturally best.
What he wanted to hit most right now was the Spirit Pagoda in Eastsea City. However, he knew haste made waste, and if he targeted it, he would become the prime suspect.
So, Lin Chen planned to strike elsewhere first. Once the soul beasts hatched, he would take several Beast Kings and pull off something huge. Just imagining it felt thrilling.
After signing the contract with Di Tian, Lin Chen had little to do besides urging Di Tian to contribute three times a day. He stayed in his room, studying Soul Tool theory.
This was the era of mechas and battle armor. Traditional soul masters could only step aside. Even if one was not a soul master, as long as one possessed heaven-defying talent for mechas, one could directly challenge an Ultimate Douluo. That brought to mind a certain absurdly powerful existence.
To become a mecha master, one had to become both a high-level Soul Engineer and a blacksmith, forging one's own materials before engraving the Soul Tool cores.
Mechas were products born from the combination of machinery and Soul Tools. The two complemented each other, and neither could be absent.
Yet Lin Chen had still not even gotten started.
Of course, he was not in a hurry. This was not something that could be accomplished overnight. He had plenty of time. After all, this was only his side business; his main business was still farming.
Lin Chen had simply made this choice because his martial soul was naturally suited for becoming a mecha master and a Battle Armor Master.
That was why he had chosen this path.
His handsome left hand moved its engraving knife without pause. The faint spiritual fluctuations emanating from it kept Lin Chen alert at all times.
However, Lin Chen was somewhat distracted today. A month had passed since the first breeding session, so every time he engraved a Soul Tool component, he checked his Soul Tool watch. He was waiting for news.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Chen finally heard a beep from the device in his hand.
He was overjoyed.
It was finally here!
