Great Changes in the Forest, Panic Among Human Soul Masters

After Jerry finished explaining, all the Soul Beasts began to act. They first gathered Attribute Plants and Plant Soul Beasts with attributes from every region, then transported them through the Core Region to be planted in their respective areas. After that, relocating the animal Soul Beasts was much easier—they only needed to run to their corresponding regions!

Soul Beasts were moving everywhere. At this time, the Soul Masters in the Ten Thousand Year Region grew uneasy. In the past, it took a long time to encounter a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, but now they ran into several in no time. Moreover, the Soul Beasts no longer attacked one another. They even banded together to attack Human Soul Masters. Where had all their territorial instincts gone? The Human Soul Masters were all confused and fled outward!

The news quickly reached the upper echelons of the Two Great Empires, Spirit Hall, and the major sects! Spirit Hall swiftly organized a high-level meeting for the continent, attended by the upper ranks of the Two Great Empires, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Blue Tyrant Dragon Family, and representatives from several other sects!

The meeting discussed the Soul Beast unrest in the Star Dou Great Forest, mainly whether the gathered Soul Beasts would rush out of the forest. In the end, nothing was decided! The Two Great Empires sent troops to guard the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, while disciples from the sects entered the forest to investigate!

A month passed, and the entire continent remained on edge. Yet the Soul Beasts did not rush out of the forest! The disciples sent in to investigate, however, suffered devastating losses! Every major sect had once possessed maps of the Star Dou Great Forest, but now everything had changed! The Ten Thousand Year Region was completely different from what the maps showed, and Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts no longer acted alone. They coordinated their attacks on humans! This was why the sect disciples suffered such terrible losses; they had practically been wiped out! Even those who escaped were severely injured. Spirit Hall even lost two Titled Douluo. Humans had once worked together to hunt Soul Beasts, but now the Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts knew how to cooperate, and even Titled Douluo could not withstand them! For a time, the entire continent was gripped by panic. Only after another month passed without the Soul Beasts leaving the forest did everyone gradually feel more at ease. The Core Region had once been humanity's only forbidden zone, but now the Ten Thousand Year Region had also become forbidden territory for humans!

Jerry knew nothing of this. He was leading the Soul Beasts in digging canals, transplanting plants, and making fertilizer. Everyone worked with tremendous enthusiasm!

Jerry even thought of propagating plants through cuttings. He tested it by planting branches and leaves, then carefully tending to them. A few days later, Jerry discovered that it truly worked—the cuttings had already begun to take root. They then started absorbing Soul Power. This was a world of cultivation, and as long as one cultivated, growth could be accelerated! When Soul Beasts broke through, their body types grew larger. When humans absorbed Soul Rings and broke through, they grew rapidly as well!

Jerry then taught the Soul Beasts how to use cuttings. There had not been many Attribute Plants in each region to begin with, but now they could be propagated on a massive scale!

The butterfly effect emerged. Since the Ten Thousand Year Region of the Star Dou Great Forest had become a forbidden zone, many Soul Masters who needed Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings could only turn their attention elsewhere. The Soul Beasts in other forests consequently suffered. Compared to Soul Beast cultivation, human cultivation was extremely fast. This was why, after Ten Thousand Years, Soul Beasts had gone extinct in the original timeline! Soul Beasts grew too slowly! Their numbers were also too few! Compared with the human population, there were still far too few Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest!

Jerry investigated the Soul Beasts and found that those capable of cultivating for Ten Thousand Years all possessed excellent bloodline aptitude. Many Soul Beasts never broke through in their entire lives! A major reason was that their bloodline aptitude was too poor!

Furthermore, Soul Beasts older than Ten Thousand Years only cultivated and had little desire to reproduce. This meant that although there were many Soul Beasts in the outer regions, their bloodlines were too weak and their growth was limited, while Soul Beasts in the Ten Thousand Year Region rarely produced offspring! This was another important reason why there were so few Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts!

After thinking it over, Jerry issued an order. For the future development of the Soul Beasts, Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts needed to have more children! The forest would only improve, and resources would become more abundant, so everyone needed to produce more descendants. Only then would Soul Beasts become stronger in the future!

At first, many Soul Beasts refused to cooperate. After all, producing offspring would cost them cultivation, and there would also be a period of weakness!

In the end, Jerry had no choice but to notify every region that they were to protect Soul Beasts that had given birth and ensure their safety through their weak periods. Only then did the situation improve somewhat!

Jerry cultivated some Estrus Grass. He had previously considered dumping it directly into the water, but then remembered that Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts all possessed high intelligence. It felt somewhat inhumane, so he abandoned the idea!
