Artificial Soul?

Li Ming's eyes flickered. With such conversion efficiency, all he needed to do next was continuously provide the Artificial Whale Stomach with sufficient nutrients, allowing it to rapidly accumulate enough Soul Power—perhaps even reaching the level of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

And once the Artificial Soul Ring Project made progress, he might be able to directly fuse with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

As for his physical condition, it should be close to sufficient by now. As for his spirit, he still had Immortal Herbs on hand, so his spiritual power could undergo another boost.

Everything was ready; only the east wind was lacking.

Li Ming felt that the future was bright.

Over the following days, Li Ming began raising stomachs.

His Space Station searched the sea for prey, providing nourishment for the Artificial Whale Stomachs. The Soul Power within the whale stomachs, along with their measured strength, steadily increased.

Using the previously accumulated detection model, he could accurately determine what age of Soul Beast an Artificial Whale Stomach was equivalent to.

Under the influx of nutrients, the Artificial Whale Stomachs rapidly grew stronger.

Meanwhile, his other research projects also proceeded in an orderly fashion.

Li Ming appeared in the compartment assigned to the Artificial Soul Ring Project Team, with Fate AI following beside him.

Several small Artificial Whale Stomachs had been placed within the compartment. They had all reached the strength of Ten-Year Soul Beasts and were currently the best experimental materials available.

"The Artificial Soul Ring Project is temporarily stalled. We need you, Master, to determine the next direction.

"After research, I believe there may be several reasons why the Soul Rings failed to condense.

"First, souls. Compared with normal Soul Beasts, Artificial Whale Stomachs clearly lack this element.

"Among all current hypotheses, this is the most likely reason.
