When Di Tian saw Lin Chen getting more and more worked up, other thoughts inevitably arose in his heart.

If Lin Chen could truly mass-produce powerful beings through this method, then even if they bred an entirely new race of soul beasts in the future, wouldn't they still end up ruled by humans?

It would simply mean that Lin Chen had replaced the rulers.

Therefore, Di Tian sincerely hoped that Lin Chen would not develop human forces too much. Instead, he hoped Lin Chen would shift his focus back to raising soul beasts.

"With the foundation you have now, if you try to have it both ways, I'm afraid you'll end up with neither. You should focus on raising the soul beasts first."

Lin Chen also felt that he made sense. "Fine. I understand that better than you do. Cultivating soul beasts is our most important task."

Of course, this was also true for him—after all, Di Tian did not know that these soul beast descendants were all like Lin Chen himself: ultimate command rested in Lin Chen's hands.

Di Tian believed that even if they had signed contracts, that was merely a necessary procedure for Lin Chen to grant him Transcendent Reproduction.

He had personally produced these descendants, so they would surely obey his commands in the future. How could ultimate command possibly belong to Lin Chen?

Thus, Di Tian had never doubted this matter. He had always believed he was working for himself, striving for the soul beast race, unaware that Lin Chen was actually the ultimate decision-maker.

Lin Chen had no idea Di Tian had thought so much about it. In any case, his strategic core really was to raise soul beasts first, so it was only reasonable to allocate more resources to them now.

However, he had not said he would stop collecting dragon blood. He would draw a little every day and store it away, maintaining a balance!

Lin Chen's breeding enterprise had now completely gotten on track. Though it was a time-consuming game that required patience, he had successfully exploited a bug and saved a great deal of unnecessary time.

Moreover, Lin Chen was certain that he had developed less than one percent of the potential of these soul beast descendants.

Why did their blood contain energy that could enhance spiritual power?

After they were made into spirit souls, just how powerful would those spirit souls be?

These were all research projects that needed to be studied. After all, his purpose in raising soul beasts was ultimately to make himself stronger. Everything revolved around serving him, so spirit soul research had to be put on the agenda.

Lin Chen would not accept spirit souls from the Spirit Pagoda, because their safety was far too unreliable, with hidden bombs everywhere.

He knew the plot well. He knew that Gu Yuena would later become a high-ranking member of the Spirit Pagoda and, after developing artificial ten-thousand-year spirit souls, plant hidden bombs within them. In the end, she successfully controlled every human who had absorbed artificial ten-thousand-year spirit souls or entered the Beast Platform. A full seventy percent of soul masters were enslaved!

Although artificial spirit souls had yet to be developed, Lin Chen took this as a warning—because an even bigger hidden bomb than Gu Yuena was Tang San's son-in-law, Dai Yuhao, the founder of the Spirit Pagoda!

As the developer of all this and a god himself, if anyone claimed he could not control soul masters who had absorbed the spirit souls he created, Lin Chen would be the first not to believe it.

Although the God Realm had been swept away by the spacetime turbulence, the gods of Tang San's lineage were all alive and well. Tang San was even plotting against the Abyss.

Once Lin Chen developed to a certain level in the future, he would inevitably become enemies with them, because Tang San had already treated the entire Douluo Continent as his private backyard. He would never tolerate anyone encroaching upon his personal property.

And Dai Yuhao, that dog trained by Tang San, would definitely support Tang San without wavering. If Lin Chen were truly stabbed in the back by those spirit souls then, it would be a joke!

Therefore, he chose to use an entirely new soul beast race to create a brand-new spirit soul system for himself to absorb.

He had been in this world for quite some time, so he naturally understood how the Spirit Pagoda created spirit souls in the current era—they had put the cart before the horse. By forcibly manufacturing spirit souls, they had long since violated the original principles.

The reason they could continuously forcefully create spirit souls was because they relied on the powerful contract formation left behind by Dai Yuhao.

But Lin Chen was familiar with the plot of The Unrivaled Tang Clan, so he knew exactly what the original spirit soul system had been like!

With the soul beast's consent, its soul would be separated. Through the energy in its body, the soul would be reshaped into an energy form, after which it would sign an equal contract with a soul master. Voluntary consent was required throughout the entire process!

This was also why Lin Chen was confident he could establish a brand-new spirit soul system. The descendants born from contracted beasts had no possibility of refusing. With a single thought from him, they would willingly sacrifice their souls.

Therefore, as long as Lin Chen understood the principles of contracts, he would certainly be able to develop a path of spirit soul transmission completely different from Dai Yuhao's, one that no one could use to restrain him.

He would not allow himself to have any weaknesses.

The reason Lin Chen was considering this now was that, based on his current progress, he would probably absorb his first soul ring in less than a year. No, two soul rings at once.

The cultivation of Twin Martial Souls was completely different now from how it had been tens of thousands of years ago. Back then, people were extremely cautious. They would first cultivate one martial soul to its limit before considering the other.

At the very least, they would wait until the second martial soul could absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring before considering adding soul rings to it. Only then could they maximize the cost-effectiveness of Twin Martial Souls.

But things were different now. Spirit souls could be evolved. Even a ten-year spirit soul could, so long as one had sufficient spiritual power, continuously evolve until it eventually transformed into a hundred-thousand-year spirit soul.

And once a spirit soul evolved, it would also feed Soul Power back to its host, no different from absorbing a high-level spirit soul or soul ring.

In this era, cultivating Twin Martial Souls simultaneously was the most cost-effective approach.

A year from now, Lin Chen would need two spirit souls. Therefore, within that year, he had to create a spirit soul system that belonged solely to him, then produce brand-new spirit souls whose bloodline strength could not be low and which suited his martial souls.

The conditions were harsh, but not that harsh, because he had Di Tian. As long as they were descendants born by Di Tian, the spirit souls made from them would certainly not be weak after evolving in the future.

He did not need to pursue the age of the spirit souls either. As long as he could make them, that was enough. The Spirit Pagoda would naturally provide the upgrade for him like a bunch of suckers!

His little world now possessed every condition needed to research spirit souls, except people.

He needed to capture a group of spirit soul masters and make them work like beasts for him.

Furthermore, Di Tian's spiritual energy acceleration would only help these descendants rapidly grow to the age at which they could reproduce. The road afterward would have to be walked by themselves. After all, once there were more and more descendants, Di Tian would not be able to manage them all.

In that case, they could only make use of their talent for Transcendent Growth—rapidly increasing their cultivation age by devouring energy. This required Soul Power energy.

And the only treasures that possessed such energy now were spirit souls.

So no matter the reason, he had to strike hard at the Spirit Pagoda!

Lin Chen raised his head and looked at Di Tian, a sinister smile appearing on his face. "Di Tian, we're going to pull off something big!"
