Chapter 73 Ultimate Life Form
In the same space.
At the round table, Zhou Huiluping reappeared before everyone, with a faint halo shining behind him and his eyes sparkling.
"Gentlemen, I don't think anything major will happen in the near future."
After nearly half a year, he had successfully completed the Curse Return World, and everyone got a good ending.
Aside from the aliens who will arrive on Earth in 68 years, there's nothing else that requires special attention.
"Unfortunately, even though I later awakened spells in millions of people, I still couldn't extract a top-tier spell like [Chaos and Harmony]. Perhaps a planet can only have one [Magic Void] or a [Chaos and Harmony] spell—a wish-granting machine-level spell."
"I'll say this with some regret," said Zhou Huiluping.
Now, his understanding of the technique is very deep. This power is similar to the "Stand" in the JOJO world. Apart from bloodline inheritance, it basically appears based on the nature of the caster's spirit and soul.
Even seemingly conceptual concepts like "effortless transformation," "superman," and "no limits" are intricately linked to the sorcerer's personality and are not awakened without any basis.
However, "Demon Void" and "Chaos and Harmony" are the only exceptions.
These two powers have almost no connection with the sorcerer himself; one is pseudo-omniscience, and the other is pseudo-omnipotence.
Rather than describing them as magical abilities, they are more like treasures similar to "wishing machines," which only came into existence by relying on a sorcerer as a vessel.
"You've done a really good job. You cleared out the Cursed Return World in just six months. In terms of destructive power, you should be able to destroy a city with a single blow."
Lu Ping, the lion beast, nodded and said with admiration.
Today, Zhou Huiluping can absorb half of the spell power output of millions of sorcerers every day, and this number is constantly increasing, with his strength improving every second.
Furthermore, with Mo Xuluo's analysis and development, even without considering trump cards like "Contract Binding," he can use dozens of techniques with power equivalent to "1000% of the Void Style 'This'".
These techniques, when combined, superimposed, and amplified, could completely destroy Tokyo in a single strike, leveling it to the ground.
Even in some fantasy worlds with a focus on martial arts, this level of strength would be considered "powerful".
"Destructive power is secondary; the main thing is ability and methods. The richness of millions of spells covers almost all aspects. Many powerful beings with extremely strong destructive power are far inferior to us in terms of methods."
Hokage Jihei stood to the side and responded.
In terms of destructive power, a Six Paths level fighter in Naruto could cut through the moon and destroy the Earth's surface, making him far stronger than the current Cursed Rohei's theoretical strength.
But what if a fight actually breaks out?
With his boundless abilities, the Door, Utopia, Future Diary, Mask, and so on, countless life-saving abilities are combined. Unless the planet where Lu Ping is located is instantly vaporized, annihilating all matter, including "light," it is impossible to completely kill him.
As long as there is a trace of matter to rely on, his ability to transform and reflect all things through non-action will allow him to be reborn through clones, survive, and continuously grow stronger.
It can be said that although the Cursed Path is slightly inferior to the High Martial World in terms of numerical values, it laid a perfect foundation for the paths of all other worlds. It is a true hexagonal panel without any shortcomings or flaws.
"Alright, everyone, stop praising me. The potential of the Cursed Return World is limited, and I'm almost at its limit. Now, it's up to you guys."
"Each of your worlds has considerable potential. Although our time flows at different rates, after these past few days of sharing, I estimate that everyone should have some ideas by now."
Zhou Huilu looked at the crowd and smiled knowingly.
We're all on the same page; who doesn't know what the other is thinking?
Seeing that Juhei Rohei has already cleared the game, his counterparts in other worlds are probably already thinking about how to stir up trouble in their own worlds.
"I have some ideas, but I need time to verify them. There are many hidden secrets in the Naruto world. It's a pity that I didn't continue watching Boruto, otherwise I should have been able to learn more."
Gamabunta from the Naruto world spoke first, a hint of regret on his face.
In his previous life, he only watched the main Naruto series. He couldn't bear to watch the later Boruto series and only watched some short videos.
I've heard that Boruto has started time travel in the later stages of the story, and he even appears in past timelines. I don't know if it's true or not.
To fully realize his plan, he will need some time to lay the groundwork and verify his suspicions.
"Me? I'm not in a hurry. Let's set a small goal first, like growing to 10,000 meters."
Lu Ping, a Sea King from the One Piece world, yawned. Its size had swelled to 1000 meters, and the rate of growth was accelerating, exceeding the limits of some Sea Kings.
But in the world of One Piece, he is far from reaching the limit of his size.
The giant elephant god Zunesha, who is over 30,000 meters tall, the black dragon Loki, who is over 40,000 meters tall, and the other three great gods who have not yet made their official appearance all demonstrate the exaggerated upper limit of body size in the One Piece world.
As a sea king, Lu Ping wanted to see where its size growth limit was.
Furthermore, before the four great gods have appeared, it doesn't want to be the first to step forward. No one knows if a new powerful figure will suddenly emerge in the ever-expanding world of pirates.
"Let me think about it some more. The power of the mind in the Digital World is too outrageous. Besides, Taiichi is only eight years old now, and it's still a long time before his first Digital Adventure. I'd better not make too much of a fuss, lest I attract the attention of Yggdrasil or Eternity."
Leomon from the Digital World was the first to shake his head, speaking calmly.
Of all the Lu Pings, the Digital World he inhabits has the highest potential, ridiculously high, with the strongest even reaching the level of destroying and creating universes.
Moreover, in this absolutely idealistic world, the power level can rise without any logic. One second a cute baby Digimon can evolve into a world-destroying ultimate form in the next.
He needs more sample data to conduct further research and to delve deeper into the connection between "emotional power" and "Digimon".
"However, I did discuss some of my research findings with Douluo Luping, and it seems he already has some progress on his end."
Lion Beast Lu Ping shifted his gaze to Gu Zhu Lu Ping in the far corner and said in a low voice.
Among all the Pathfinders, Leomon is the most active in scientific research. His many studies and discoveries in the Digital World have greatly helped the Pathfinders in other worlds.
For example, without the research results of the Lion Beast on the conversion of positive and negative energy, Zhou Huiluping would not have been able to usher in the Great Era of Spells, nor would he have been able to awaken the Saint Spell Masters.
Since discovering the "conversion of positive and negative energy," he seems to have made new breakthroughs in the "evolution of emotional energy" recently.
"Yes, after discussing it with Leomon, we have a preliminary plan."
Gu Zhu Lu Ping chuckled, using the power of non-action to transform into human form, and said with a confident expression.
"Gentlemen, let's bump fists. I'll share the plan with you directly."
After speaking, the various Lu Pings bumped fists, and in the next moment, all the plans and memories related to the Guzhu Lu Pings appeared in their minds.
"Wow, is that so? — Interesting —"
"There are quite a few restrictions in the Douluo World, so you—be careful—"
"I think this method is the safest. For the irreconcilable conflict between humans and soul beasts in the Douluo world, perhaps only your method is the optimal solution."
After reading the plan in Lu Ping's mind, the Lu Pings from different worlds all showed complex expressions, some of which were approval and some of which were worry.
As we all know, in the four-part Douluo Continent series, there is a hidden main storyline that runs through the entire series: the irreconcilable conflict between humans and soul beasts.
Even if technologies such as "soul spirits" or "artificial soul spirits" are developed later, this contradiction will only be weakened, covered up, or transferred, but it will never be able to be eradicated.
It is also impossible to cure completely.
Even in Douluo Continent IV, where humans gifted two planets to soul beasts as habitats, they never let their guard down against them. Even top-tier powerhouses like Di Tian had to obtain Federation permission to undergo tribulation. It seemed peaceful, but in reality, it was a form of domestication.
This situation is actually quite reasonable.
Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. Even from a human perspective, Lu Ping would not allow a race like soul beasts to stand above the human race.
Providing them with a place to stay is already the greatest compromise they can offer.
unless.
"To bind the fates of humans and soul beasts together!"
Gu Zhu Lu Ping smiled and expressed his wish.
"I want to create a world where humans and spirit beasts can become true partners."
In the myriad worlds, not all worlds are incompatible enemies between humans and beasts, nor do all human races consider beastmen to be objects that must be eradicated.
In a world like Pokémon or Digimon, humans can become true friends with mythical beasts, their bond even surpassing that with many of their own kind, where they are inseparable and work together as one.
In addition to emotions and bonds, there is a very realistic basis for achieving all of this.
That is "common interest".
In the Pokémon world, humans possess various wondrous powers, not only rivaling Pokémon in strength but also rapidly healing their injuries. This mutually benefits both, as Pokémon's increased power brings honor and status to their trainers.
Needless to say, in the Digital World, the emotional power that humans possess can drive Digimon to evolve rapidly, transforming them from juveniles to Ultimate Digimon overnight. In turn, the Digimon protect humans from being destroyed by powerful evil beings.
The foundation of equal communication is when you benefit me and I benefit you in return.
In the original Douluo Continent world, there are almost no shared interests between humans and soul beasts; on the contrary, dead soul beasts are of greater benefit to humans.
They are essentially rare animals in reality, and apart from the fragile reason of "protecting the ecosystem," there is really no other excuse to convince humans not to hunt them.
What Lu Ping of Guzhu wants to do is create this "common interest" and make himself the ultimate beneficiary of this common interest.
"Everyone, you should have seen it very clearly during the memory sharing just now, right?"
Gu Zhu Lu Ping chuckled and waved his hand, placing a large virtual projection into the same space.
"During this time, through my ability of 'transformation through non-action,' I touched the souls of nearly ten thousand soul beasts, and ultimately came to a conclusion—"7
"Soul beasts can actually evolve."
In the original Douluo Continent novel, the strength of a soul beast can be said to be locked by its "bloodline".
If your bloodline isn't strong enough, even if you cultivate for 100,000 years, you'll only become a laughing stock among 100,000-year-old soul beasts, like the 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit Xiao Wu.
Of course, it is more likely that low-blooded soul beasts simply cannot cultivate for 100,000 years, and rarely even reach 10,000 years.
Soul beasts with low bloodlines, such as the Wind Baboon, the Lone Bamboo, and the Blue Silver Grass (not the Blue Silver Emperor), can never compare to powerful bloodline soul beasts, no matter how hard they try.
Some might ask, isn't Blue Silver Emperor the evolved form of Blue Silver Grass?
This is not the case.
As mentioned in the original work, the Blue Silver Emperor is born with royal blood. It is determined from birth that all Blue Silver lineage members are his subjects and will always be of the same lineage. Only when the previous Blue Silver Emperor dies will the next Blue Silver Emperor appear.
Lu Ping originally thought that this was the nature of soul beasts, and their upper limit could not be changed. Unless someone like him had a cheat code, ordinary soul beasts would never be able to rise to the top in their entire lives.
But after using the transformation of non-action, he discovered that this was not the case.
"The essence of a soul beast lies in its soul," just as in the Cursed World, different sorcerers can awaken based on their different spirits.
"Soul beasts can also evolve into different forms based on their different souls and emotions."
"This point was fully confirmed after my conversation with Leomon Lupi."
Lion Beast Lu Ping nodded, then presented his research findings.
"The essence of Digimon is that they are creatures composed of data and emotional power. After sharing memories with Gu Zhu Lu Ping, I discovered that the essence of Soul Beasts is similar to that of Digimon; they are also creatures where soul and emotional power play a significant role."
"This is why soul beasts possess the active skill of 'sacrifice,' while humans do not. Their core essence is their soul, allowing them to readily shed their physical bodies. The soul form is their most fundamental nature."
"Bloodline inheritance is a kind of manifest inheritance of the soul, just like the sorcerers of the Cursed Return World can also inherit bloodlines, but this is not the only method of evolution."
"If we can stimulate the emotional power of a soul beast and cause its soul to transform, even the weakest wind baboon and solitary bamboo can evolve into a higher-level form."
Gu Zhu Lu Ping's face showed excitement as he spoke.
"What's even more impressive is that once a soul beast successfully evolves, I can record its soul form," just as you collect millions of techniques, I can also collect the evolutionary forms of billions of soul beasts, allowing myself to evolve into the ultimate soul beast of all kinds!"
This is Guzhu Luping's true ambition.
It shares the ability to transform through non-action, and like Zhou Huiluping, it has the power to replicate the abilities of all soul beasts. However, the abilities of soul beasts in the Douluo world are not particularly unique; they mainly rely on numerical values.
In addition, the million spells shared by Zhou Huiluping cover almost all aspects, so there is nothing to add. Therefore, Guzhu Luping has never been interested in replicating the abilities of other soul beasts.
But ultimate evolution is different.
Ultimate evolution not only grants new abilities but also boosts stats, maximizing all aspects.
Just imagine.
Make the soul beast Guzhu specialize in evolving towards "tenacity" until it evolves into "Wall of Sighs - Guzhu", which has 99% damage immunity and can only leave a white mark on the body of even a god king.
The soul beast Wind Baboon is made to specialize in evolving towards "speed" until it reaches the speed of light, running and reversing time and space, becoming the "Golden Flash Wind Baboon" that can traverse the galaxy on its own.
The Soul Beast Thousand-Pound Ant was made to specialize in evolving towards "power" until it evolved into the "Ancient Ten Ferocious Thousand-Pound Ant," capable of shattering space with a single punch, exploding stars with a single punch, and turning a God King into a bloody mist.
What if we could combine all the advantages of these soul beasts into one person?
"It's not over yet!"
Gu Zhulu Ping's lips curled into a confident smile, his eyes sparkling, and he spoke loudly.
"Shushu Luping and I have another hypothesis: that human martial souls can also fuse and evolve with soul beasts. At that time, I will not only possess the evolutionary power of all soul beasts, but also the evolutionary power of all human martial souls—one day, I will become the 'Ultimate Life Form!'"
The crowd applauded and paid their respects.
It wasn't easy, it wasn't easy at all.
Gu Zhu, despite being the one with the lowest background, the worst starting point, and the most vulnerable among them, devised such a grand plan after sharing everyone's abilities, which deeply moved everyone.
but.
The plan is wonderful, but it's not easy to implement.
"Evolution shouldn't be that easy, right? From shared memories, I see that the best way to promote evolution is through 'bonds' and 'emotional power.' You didn't mean this when you said you wanted to create a world where humans and spirit beasts could be true partners, did you?"
"That's right."
Gu Zhu Luping nodded. Memories could be shared, but the excitement in his heart was even more thrilling to express.
"I plan to make those children whose minds are not yet fully formed the chosen ones," to grow, fight, and adventure alongside the spirit beasts.
"Through countless life-and-death battles fought side by side, a deep bond was forged, ultimately evolving into an even more powerful form."
'
Gu Zhulu Ping's method for implementing the plan was exactly like this.
As for how to bring the chosen children into crisis, build bonds and develop emotions in life-or-death battles.
Guzhu Road was flat, and they had already made plans for it.
"I am the World Tree, and I shall create nine new worlds," allowing the powerful spirits and souls of those historical beings to reside within them.
All of them smiled.
really.
With the ability to manipulate souls through "inaction transformation," even a Lu Ping would be tempted to create his own soul world.
