Coral Family In a quiet room, the fluorescence is still there. Demon Empress After listening to Kraken's brief report on Far North's trip, especially about After Snow Empress might have received the "gift", which prompted Heavenly Tribulation to speculate in advance, a deep thought flashed through her starry eyes, but she didn't say much about it immediately. With a tap of her fingertips, she brought the topic back to the deep sea itself.
"Do you think it's time to start promoting your plan?" Demon Empress's ethereal voice sounded. Although it was a question, it carried a clear meaning.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Kraken bowed slightly, his ice blue eyes shining calmly under the shadow, "The time is getting mature. Left Guard and Right Guard have been cultivating in the depths of 'Sea Turtle Habitat' for more than a thousand years. With the help of Mystic Heavy Water and Monolith Artistic Conception has polished its foundation, and its cultivation has reached the peak of forty-nine Ten-Thousand-Year, which is only a thin line away from the five Hundred-Thousand-Year mark. Their talent and accumulation are sufficient, but what they lack is an 'opportunity' that is relatively safe and can minimize the risks of Heavenly Tribulation."
A glimmer of understanding flashed through Demon Empress's eyes. "You are referring to the previously mentioned use of those rare Soul Beast that can absorb, transform, and even weaken thunder to build a 'lightning protection' or 'Lightning Guidance' array?"
"Exactly." Kraken nodded, "Over the years, my subordinates, through the Coral Family's Concealment channels, combined with memories of early trips to the deep sea, have locked in the habitats of several rare Soul Beast groups that meet the conditions.
The most ideal among them are the two groups 'Thunder-Pattern Electric Ray' and 'Lightning-Attracting Jellyfish'. Thunder-Pattern Electric Ray can form a special bioelectric field on the body surface to deflect and disperse ordinary thunder; while the tentacles and canopy of Lightning-Attracting Jellyfish can actively attract and slowly absorb thunder energy, converting it into relatively mild life electricity to nourish itself.
If these two groups can be tamed or guided, and the formation can be arranged with them as the core, and supplemented with Deep Sea Dark Iron, Energy-Conducting Coral and other materials to build the formation base, it will be enough to share more than 30% of the direct lightning strike power for Left Guard and Right Guard when they are going through the tribulation, and can also convert part of the violent thunder aftermath into absorbable energy to supplement their consumption in going through the tribulation."
He paused and said with a rare solemn tone, "If this plan is successful, it will not only greatly increase the success rate of Left Guard and Right Guard breaking through five Hundred-Thousand-Year, but also accumulate valuable experience for us.
Five Hundred-Thousand-Year is a huge threshold, and its Heavenly Tribulation power far exceeds Hundred-Thousand-Year and two Hundred-Thousand-Year. If we can find a way to stably reduce the high-level Soul Beast transition The method of reducing the risk of robbery, even if it only increases the success rate by 10% or 20%, is as significant to Soul Beast as the new digital number Ferocious Beast. In the future, if His Majesty wants to restore his prosperity and even go further, this method may also provide some reference."
Demon Empress listened quietly, with no expression on her beautiful face, but the glimmer of light in her deep eyes showed that she fully understood the value of this plan. This was not only a protection for two subordinates, but also touched upon the most core and cruel "Heavenly Tribulation" problem in Soul Beast's cultivation system. If there is a breakthrough, the impact will be far-reaching and incalculable.
"The plan is good. You can allocate the required resources and manpower by yourself, and carry out it secretly in the name of the Coral Family. It must be Concealment." Demon Empress finally agreed, and then asked, "How long will it take to implement this plan?"
"It will take about a hundred years to collect materials and early domestication guidance. Another fifty years will be needed to arrange and debug the array. In total, it should be ready within a hundred and fifty years." Kraken estimated.
"One hundred and fifty years... is acceptable." Demon Empress nodded slightly. For deep-sea beings who often use Ten-Thousand-Year to measure time, this time is not long. She changed the subject and looked at Kraken: "You just said, 'You can start to promote your plan.' Apart from this 'Lightning-Guiding Array', is there anything else?"
Kraken's ice-blue eyes glowed brighter, with an almost cold and rational light. "Yes, Your Majesty. Another plan is related to the foundation. Its impact may be more far-reaching and the results will be faster. I call it - 'Intelligence Awakening Project'."
"Intelligence Awakening?" A trace of interest flashed in Demon Empress's eyes.
"Your Majesty clearly knows that Soul Beast practice is extremely difficult. Below Ten-Thousand-Year, people are confused and rely on instinct and fighting. By Ten-Thousand-Year, spiritual wisdom has just begun, and they begin to have self-awareness, can think, understand advantages and avoid disadvantages, but most of them are still unable to communicate clearly., thinking was chaotic, like an ignorant child. Until Hundred-Thousand-Year, the soul was baptized by Lightning Tribulation, and then it gained wisdom and understanding, could talk to others, and its thinking was comparable to that of a human wise man. This long period of ignorance is the biggest source of internal friction and waste for the Soul Beast group."
Kraken's voice was smooth and clear, explaining his idea, "Countless Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, because they have not yet developed their wisdom, either fight blindly and die in internal fighting, or are ignorant and break into the Jedi and fall, or have no power but don't know how to use it efficiently, let alone cooperate with each other and pass on knowledge. However, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast are rare in number, and each birth has gone through countless obstacles. The gap in the middle is too big."
"So, your 'Intelligence Awakening' wants to shorten this period of ignorance?" Demon Empress asked.
"Exactly." Kraken nodded, "Over the years, my subordinates have been studying Sea God Island's beliefs Secret Art, the secret of transformation, and combined with their own understanding of souls and energy, they have tried to refine a relatively mild and replicable 'Spiritual Wisdom Enlightenment' ritual.
Its core is to guide Mental Power of Soul Beast to carry out directional resonance and 'combing', stimulating its sleeping wisdom to awaken and condense in advance. Although it cannot bring about qualitative changes like Hundred-Thousand-Year Lightning Tribulation, it is enough to enable qualified Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to gain clear language skills, logical thinking and a stronger sense of learning and collaboration in advance."
There was an almost undetectable fluctuation in his tone. "Currently, among the batch of Soul Beast that Sea Swallow Habitat secretly sheltered, dozens of Eighty-Thousand-Year Soul Beast with good talent and relatively calm temperament have been selected for small-scale testing. The effect... is acceptable.
At present, more than 80% of the test subjects can speak clearly, express complex intentions, understand tactical instructions, and have begun to consciously learn simple knowledge inheritance and collaborative combat skills. Their overall combat effectiveness and survivability are estimated to have increased by 30 to 50%. The most important thing is that they have the rudimentary concepts of 'inheritance' and 'organization'."
Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, speak up!
This message caused the mental fluctuations of Tieshan, Mo Yuan and even Huben in the quiet room to fluctuate significantly. They all came out of ignorance and fought together. They knew too well in advance What does it mean to gain wisdom! It means more efficient growth, lower mortality rate, and stronger group cohesion! A Eighty-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that can talk is worth far more than ten Nine Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that can only roar and attack!
Demon Empress finally had clear waves in her eyes, a light that saw new possibilities. She slowly sat up straight, and the light on her gorgeous dress seemed to speed up.
"Eight Ten-Thousand-Year can be said... how much does this technique cost? Can it be promoted?" Demon Empress directly asked the most critical point.
"The cost is controllable." Kraken was obviously well prepared. "The main thing is to need a Mental Power leader who is strong enough and proficient in this technique, as well as some Deep Sea Ghost Grass, Calming Coral Marrow and other resources to help stabilize the mind. These can be solved in the Coral Family's inventory, no need to ask outside. As for promotion..."
He paused, and the light in his ice blue eyes was restrained. "Currently, the requirements for the caster are relatively high, and Soul Beast itself needs to reach about eight Ten-Thousand-Year. Spiritual Origin is relatively stable to withstand the impact of 'Intelligence Awakening', and the success rate is also the highest. For the time being. It cannot be spread to all Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. But even so, if all Soul Beast above eight Ten-Thousand-Year within our sphere of influence can obtain wisdom in advance, the overall combat power improvement, organizational leap, and future potential it will bring... will be disruptive."
Demon Empress was silent for a moment, and only the subtle sound of the flowing halo of Fluorescent Coral was left in the quiet room. Tieshan, Mo Yuan, and Huben all waited with bated breath. They could all feel that His Majesty was weighing a decision that could change the pattern of the deep sea.
"First focus on the Sea Swallow Habitat batch of Soul Beast, and complete 'Intelligence Awakening'. Evaluate its long-term stability, changes in temperament, and loyalty to orders." Demon Empress finally spoke slowly, and his voice regained its ethereal and majestic tone. "If everything is as you said and no major flaws have been seen in a hundred years... then this 'Intelligence Awakening' technique can be classified as top secret and will be gradually and selectively implemented within our core sphere of influence. The priority objects are leaders of various ethnic groups with proven loyalty and potential and their direct bloodlines."
"As for 'Lightning-Guiding Array', you are solely responsible for it and start preparations immediately. Left Guard and Right Guard are about to break through. This matter is related to our deep sea cutting-edge combat power and there is no room for failure."
"I obey your Majesty's orders!" Kraken responded solemnly.
"Everyone, please step aside." Demon Empress waved his hand, leaned back on the chair again, closed his starry eyes, and seemed to have fallen into deeper thinking. But everyone could feel that the atmosphere in the quiet room was different. A breeze called "change" and "hope" was already quietly blowing in the deepest Concealment corner of the deep sea.
Kraken bowed and exited, his gray-robed figure blending into the shadows of the corridor. Tieshan, Mo Yuan, and Huben also left quietly.
The quiet room returned to silence. Only Demon Empress was sitting on the main seat. The gems and dark gold embroidery patterns on the gorgeous clothes were flowing with a deep luster under the fluorescence, as if reflecting the coming new era of wisdom and thunder.
