Chapter 309: Human's Inherent Flaws, The Reason Why the Spirit Transference Tower Accelerates the Extinction of Soul Beasts!
In the livestream room,
After seeing that Lin Yu had posted the answer on the illusory screen,
The major forces immediately felt a bit panicked.
Because based on past experience, whenever Lin Yu answered a question, he was always correct.
This time, Lin Yu answered the question first again, meaning the first-place reward was already gone!
Although the first-place reward was gone, there were still the second and third-place rewards.
These couldn't be ignored!
A few seconds later.
After the major forces relayed orders to their disciples, instructing two brave disciples to answer the question with two different answers, the answers started to flash across the illusory screen.
[Spirit Hall - Chen Mo: In the livestream, the impact of the Spirit Transference Tower on the future is that it achieved peaceful coexistence between humans and soul beasts!]
[Spirit Hall - Wang Hu: In the livestream, the impact of the Spirit Transference Tower on the future is that it improved the relationship between humans and soul beasts, but did not achieve peaceful coexistence between them!]
[Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School - Cheng Xiao: In the livestream, the impact of the Spirit Transference Tower on the future is that it achieved peaceful coexistence between humans and soul beasts!]
...
In an instant, all ten spots for the livestream's question and answer had been filled.
Afterwards, the livestream began to evaluate whether the answers of the first ten respondents were correct.
This process was quick.
Within just a few breaths,
A line of blood-red text suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.
At the same time, a cold voice rang out in the ears of all the viewers.
[Reminder: Lin Yu's answer: In the livestream, the impact of the Spirit Transference Tower on Douluo Continent's future is that although it introduced Soul Spirits to Douluo Continent, it did not change the relationship between humans and soul beasts. Instead, it accelerated the extinction of soul beasts! Answer is correct!]
[Award: Random reward x2, granted!]
[Reminder: Spirit Hall - Chen Mo's answer: In the livestream, the impact of the Spirit Transference Tower on the future is that it achieved peaceful coexistence between humans and soul beasts! Answer is incorrect!]
[Penalty: Stripped of third-level soul power + third soul ring!]
[Reminder: Spirit Hall - Wang Hu: In the livestream, the impact of the Spirit Transference Tower on the future is that it improved the relationship between humans and soul beasts but did not achieve peaceful coexistence between them! Answer is incorrect!]
[Penalty: Stripped of third-level soul power!]
...
What! Only Lin Yu answered correctly?!
As the rewards and penalties were announced in the livestream, many people couldn't help but furrow their brows, feeling incredulous.
Wasn't this question supposed to have just two possible answers?
One was that the Spirit Transference Tower's appearance had a positive impact on Douluo Continent's future by achieving peaceful coexistence between humans and soul beasts.
After all, in the last scene of the livestream,
Humans had already begun to establish the Spirit Transference Tower.
Not only did the major human factions in the livestream join, but even Emperor Tian from the Star Dou Forest had stepped in to represent the soul beasts, agreeing and joining in.
The other possible answer was that the Spirit Transference Tower had not had a positive impact on Douluo Continent's future. While it had improved the relationship between humans and soul beasts, it had not fundamentally changed it.
But why were both of these answers wrong?
The only correct answer was Lin Yu's:
In the livestream, the Spirit Transference Tower's impact on Douluo Continent's future is that, although Soul Spirits appeared on the continent, it did not change the relationship between humans and soul beasts, and instead accelerated the extinction of soul beasts?
Many people, unable to understand this result, were left deeply confused.
At this moment, Lin Yu also felt a bit regretful.
Sigh! It's a pity. These guys clearly didn't know the answer, yet they answered so quickly.
Now the second and third-place rewards are gone, and no one got them.
If only they had given me a little more time.
I could've passed the answer to Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, and had them answer.
Then, I would've gotten both the second and third-place rewards!
What a pity!
As many people were still confused by the result and Lin Yu felt regretful,
The cold voice in the livestream quickly announced the penalties for the other nine respondents who had answered the question.
Afterwards, Ning Fengzhi, who still couldn't figure out why, couldn't help but ask Lin Yu.
[Ning Fengzhi: @Lin Yu, Lord Lin Yu, may I ask why the answer turned out like this? The Spirit Transference Tower's appearance allows Soul Spirits to be born, and Soul Spirits can retain the intelligence of soul beasts. In that case, to gain the cooperation of Soul Spirits, soul masters should try to improve their relationship with soul beasts, so how could this result in accelerating the extinction of soul beasts?]
Seeing Ning Fengzhi's question in the livestream, Lin Yu couldn't help but smile.
That's right! Although according to the concept of Soul Spirits,
Soul Spirits are like the magical creatures in Pokémon or the beast taming creatures in fantasy novels.
For a soul master to gain the recognition and cooperation of a Soul Spirit to maximize its help in battle, they would definitely need to form a good relationship with the Soul Spirit.
And this naturally means improving the relationship between humans and soul beasts.
After all, in the world of Pokémon, or in fantasy novels about beast taming, the relationship between humans and magical creatures or beasts is exactly like the bond between pet owners and their pets in Lin Yu's previous world.
But the problem is, soul beasts in Douluo Continent are different from magical creatures and tamed beasts.
Soul beasts, even 100,000-year-old ones, like Xiao Wu, still only have the intelligence of a six- or seven-year-old child.
This makes it incredibly easy to deceive them!
And as for fantasy beast taming novels, let's not even talk about them.
In the world of Pokémon, there are many magical creatures that are far smarter than humans.
How can you compare?
Also, one very important point is that the process of Huo Yuhao researching the mechanism of Soul Spirit creation was not fully shown in the livestream.
So many people were somewhat confused about how Soul Spirits are created.
The birth of Soul Spirits requires the soul of a soul beast!
At first, Huo Yuhao's original intention might have been good.
Through undead magic, he wanted to sign a contract with a soul beast that was about to die.
By preserving the soul beast's intelligence, he aimed to transform it into a Soul Spirit, replacing a soul ring and helping soul masters break through, thus avoiding soul beasts being hunted.
This could indeed improve the situation of soul beasts becoming increasingly rare.
But the problem is, with the development of soul engineer technology, the human population would explode.
The number of soul masters would undoubtedly also increase dramatically!
And humans have inherent flaws: greed!
Everyone wants to obtain stronger Soul Spirits.
Because Huo Yuhao's teacher, the Undead Saint Magic God Electrolux , died too early,
It caused Huo Yuhao, who already had low intelligence and emotional intelligence, to be completely ruined by Tang San and turned into Tang Wutong's lackey.
Thus, as the fated child of Douluo Continent, who was supposed to lead Douluo Continent to a better future, Huo Yuhao never took the time to fully establish the internal power structure of the Spirit Transference Tower, ensuring that the factions within the tower would balance each other out. He either didn't think of these things at all or simply left for the divine realm.
This led to the eventual corruption of the Spirit Transference Tower.
Because soul beasts are so resilient, the more powerful the soul beast's bloodline, the longer they can survive.
Rather than waiting for soul beasts to die and collecting their souls for the Spirit Transference Tower,
To gain more benefits, it's far better to slaughter soul beasts en masse to collect the souls of higher-quality soul beasts!
Doesn't this accelerate the extinction of soul beasts?!
