The Grand Tournament of the Seven Sects had finally come to an end, and the various powers across the continent once again returned to peace. Occasionally, one or two shocking events would occur, but none could shake the foundations of the Empire.
Now the situation was stable, the Empire prospered in peace, and everything thrived.
With the help of the advanced soul tool technology from the Sun and Moon Continent, combined with the deep resources of both continents, Oscar personally oversaw the creation of the first Spirit Transmission Tower, using Tianmeng's shed remnant as its core.
This Spirit Transmission Tower was built in the center of the Empire's capital, right in the main plaza of Spirit City. It stood at a height of 336 meters , the tallest building in the Empire, and even the entire continent.
The main tower was fully equipped with various facilities and, after professional testing, was ready for preliminary use.
In the future, smaller branch towers would be constructed in major cities across the Empire. All of these would be linked to the main tower through soul tool communication technology, forming a centralized and integrated control system.
Inside the Spirit Transmission Tower, a portion of spirit souls had already been stored, divided mainly into two categories.
The first group consisted of soul beasts that had died of natural causes but had not found suitable hosts. They existed in the tower as spirit souls, waiting for compatible soul masters.
The second group came from the time when the Demon Empress led her three generals in their campaign across the seas. The soul beasts that resisted were forcibly refined into spirit souls and imprisoned within the tower, including several at the hundred-thousand-year level.
These spirit souls were currently the primary source within the tower. After all, humans and soul beasts now coexisted peacefully, no longer hunting soul beasts indiscriminately.
Before the tower accumulated enough naturally formed spirit souls, these would be sufficient to sustain its operation.
Within the tower, even soul beasts that had become spirit souls could continue cultivating and growing stronger, for the tower itself was a massive spiritual energy condenser.
These soul beasts could still train to increase their strength , in fact, at a speed slightly faster than before.
They could even devour other spirit souls to become stronger, though this was strictly forbidden.
If two soul beasts held deep grudges and wished to fight to the death, they could apply to the tower. Once both parties signed a life-and-death agreement, they would be allowed to battle in a special combat space.
In such cases, if one spirit soul devoured another after victory, it would not be considered a violation. This provided a rare alternative path to advancement, since true battles to the death between spirit souls were uncommon.
Spirit souls within the tower differed from living soul beasts in only two ways: they could not reproduce, and they could not grant soul bones to soul masters.
However, there was a rare exception , spirit souls that had transformed while still carrying soul bones.
This was a surprising discovery. At present, there were several spirit souls in the tower, ranging from thousand-year to ten-thousand-year levels, whose core essence was actually their soul bone.
If a soul master obtained such a spirit soul, they would receive not only a soul ring but also a soul bone.
Externally, these soul bone spirit souls were indistinguishable from ordinary ones. Only the tower's internal records contained such information, and it was kept absolutely secret to prevent anyone from targeting them specifically.
Besides obtaining soul rings, soul masters could also enter the tower to train.
There was a challenge mode inside the tower, featuring specially designed trial floors. Each level contained soul beasts of different attributes, growing stronger as one advanced, covering almost every known species on the continent.
At present, since the number of spirit souls was still being replenished, most of them came from sea soul beasts, with only a small portion from the continent.
There was also a team challenge mode, where soul masters could form small groups and send their strongest members to attempt higher levels, aiming to obtain higher-grade spirit souls.
Those who performed exceptionally well during these challenges would receive generous rewards after completion.
The original purpose of the Spirit Transmission Tower was to reduce the killing of soul beasts by humans, gradually changing the relationship between the two races, fostering equal contracts, and serving as a sanctuary for soul beast spirits.
In the future, when a soul master died of old age or unexpectedly, their spirit souls could be preserved in the tower.
The policy was also humane , elders' spirit souls could be stored, and their descendants could later claim them with proof of lineage.
A small service fee would be required, which could be paid in money or valuable items.
Those without descendants could also choose to donate their spirit souls to the tower for free. Such individuals would be honored with a memorial monument and a designated resting place after death.
The establishment of the Spirit Transmission Tower immediately attracted attention across the entire continent. Countless soul masters were eager to experience its wonders.
Unfortunately, since the branch towers were still under construction, large-scale access was not yet possible, and only a few could experience it firsthand.
But in the near future, this dream would certainly become a reality.
Apart from the Spirit Transmission Tower, artificial soul rings had also made significant progress, though the technology was still too advanced and had yet to achieve major breakthroughs.
As the continent prospered and soul tool technology developed rapidly, Oscar balanced family life with his cultivation, using the faith of humans, soul beasts, and sea soul beasts to condense his third Faith Soul Core.
Fueled by vast faith energy, two-thirds of his third core had already solidified, and much of his soul power was transforming into divine power.
At this pace, within a year he would surely achieve godhood , reaching level 100 and ascending to the Divine Realm.
Oscar's growth aside, he was already the pinnacle of this world.
Below gods, none could rival him; above gods, it was one-for-one.
Dugu Yan had begun the Asura God Trials and was progressing smoothly, supported by Oscar's immense power , making her path nearly effortless.
Gu Yue had started absorbing and refining part of the Golden Dragon King's essence. Her strength grew rapidly as her Silver Dragon King martial soul gradually fused with the Golden Dragon King's origin, evolving toward an ultra-divine dragon form.
Qian Renxue was also in excellent condition. With Oscar's support, she was no longer the "Crying Angel" from the original story but a confident, powerful Angel God.
Shui Bing'er and Ye Lingling inherited the legacies of the Ice God and Life God King respectively, advancing rapidly as they strove to catch up with their sisters.
Ning Rongrong and Ma Hongjun, having received the inheritance of the Fire God from the Sea God Pavilion, trained harder than ever. Their future ascension to godhood was almost certain.
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing possessed the inheritance of the Evil-Eyed Holy King, ensuring their own bright futures.
Even their teacher, Flender, continued to train tirelessly. Seeing his disciples approach godhood while he remained at level 97, he too yearned for divine recognition.
Oscar reassured him not to worry , after all, he had already prepared a "backdoor" for his teacher. Once Flender reached level 99, a god would naturally appear to bestow divinity upon him.
The happiest of all was Qian Daoliu. Now that he no longer needed to sacrifice himself for Qian Renxue's Angel Trials, he was radiant with vitality, enjoying life once again.
One day, while handling official duties, Oscar suddenly appeared before him with great news.
His son-in-law had arranged a divine position for him , that of the God of Light. As the continent's only level-99 Peerless Douluo, Qian Daoliu was fully qualified to inherit it.
Although the God of Light was only a second-level god, it was still genuine divinity.
With his deep foundation and immense strength, Qian Daoliu would have no trouble inheriting the godhood.
This meant he would one day reunite with his granddaughter in the Divine Realm , a joyous prospect that drove him to immerse himself fully in the inheritance process.
The burdens of the Angel Temple were thus passed to the Golden Crocodile Douluo, who couldn't help but envy his elder brother and wish for a divine inheritance of his own. Unfortunately, he had no such fortunate granddaughter.
Even so, he was among the most promising individuals to reach level 99. With abundant resources at hand, he believed he was just one step away. With some closed-door cultivation, he might soon break through naturally.
And once he did, with his talent and strength, there was no doubt a divine inheritance would soon come to him as well.
