"The human development here is too backward, let's leave them some legacies."
Su Yu found a large tribe on the continent with more than a hundred thousand people.
Previously, during their exploration of the continent, the two had communicated with the three major tribes on this continent.
Among the three major tribes, one worshipped the Phoenix, one worshipped the Golden-winged Roc, and another worshipped the Golden Crow, so Su Yu named the tribes Phoenix Tribe, Roc Tribe, and Golden Crow Tribe respectively.
The three tribes worship these three Divine Beasts and this also led Su Yu to conclude that many pure-blood phoenixes had fallen on this continent, even at the Divine Beast level.
He and Huo Yuhao had previously been guests in the tribes and learned their language.
The technology of the Soul-guiding Device was also passed by him to the three major tribes.
The records of learning the Soul-guiding Device initially had to be measured in months, so these tribes naturally couldn't fully comprehend the Soul-guiding Technology left by Su Yu in just three months.
However, these initial records are at the learning speed of a Soul Master or a Grand Soul Master stage.
This doesn't account for Soul Venerable or Soul Sect levels, where a Soul Master in their thirties or forties would begin learning about Soul-guiding Devices and create a Level 1 Soul-guiding Device.
Typically, the creation of a Level 1 Soul-guiding Device is not difficult to understand; the challenge lies in the control and expenditure of Soul Power, as well as the use of rare metals.
And within the three major tribes, there are still Soul Venerables and Soul Sects; after witnessing the power of Su Yu and Huo Yuhao, these Soul Sects and Soul Venerables are also studying earnestly.
Three months is not enough for complete digestion, but with diligent practice, it's already possible to barely make a Second-level Soul-guiding Device.
This time, when Su Yu came, the runes "Clear" and "Bright" in his Sea of Spirit shone brightly, even emerging outside his body, and he cast the runes above his head, where they emitted a purple glow.
Under the blessing of the two runes, the Soul Guides who could barely create Second-level Soul-guiding Devices gained a deeper understanding of the theory behind their creations. They transitioned from imitation to internalization and successfully digested the theory of Second-level Soul-guiding Devices.
As for the Level 1 Soul Guides who couldn't create a Second-level Soul-guiding Device, they were all inspired, feeling they had the chance to successfully make a Second-level Soul-guiding Device.
"Thank you for your help, Lord Su Yu."
The elderly and respected Soul Venerables and Soul Sects among these tribes expressed their gratitude to Su Yu one after the other.
Su Yu had left quite a few Soul-guiding Device items, which were developed during the Sun and Moon Empire's push to popularize Soul-guiding Devices and visibly improved living conditions.
The people of the primitive tribes, after experiencing the convenience of Soul-guiding Devices, were more motivated to learn.
Along with giving the technology of Soul-guiding Devices and helping them understand it, these Soul Venerable and Soul Sect members were truly thankful to Su Yu.
...
"Brother Yu, does doing this really serve any purpose?"
Spreading Soul-guiding Devices and helping them learn how to make them in the three major tribes took up a lot of time for the two of them.
In the earlier three months, they stayed in the tribes during their free time, but now that we're about to return, we've been delayed another month in the three major tribes.
Huo Yuhao didn't understand what Su Yu sought to achieve by doing this.
The power of two individuals is ultimately limited.
If he wanted to develop this continent, he could wait until the Sun and Moon Empire unified it and then hand it over to the nation for management.
At most, they could advance time by ten years; what impact could that have?
"It's okay, helping the people here break free of ignorance earlier isn't a bad thing. Besides, the change brought by a nation is different from that brought by an individual."
The people on this continent have relatively pure beliefs, with their totems being various Divine Beasts, and this isn't just superficial; many in the tribes are deeply devout.
If they could gain the faith of the people on this continent, even if the Sun and Moon Empire were to incorporate this area, broadcasting ideologies and cultures, Su Yu's name as the father of Soul-guiding Devices on the Phoenix Continent could continue to live on.
Su Yu didn't explain anything about the Power of Faith to Huo Yuhao.
...
"Ah, four months have passed, finally back to the Douluo Continent." Huo Yuhao felt the aura of the Endless Volcano. Though it wasn't very comfortable, he still made a relaxed expression.
Though the Phoenix Continent had many treasures, it always gave him an outdoor wilderness feeling. Now, even if returning to the Endless Volcano, Huo Yuhao felt like he was returning from the wild to the city.
"Our mission this time is complete, do you want to continue traveling or go back to Mingdu first?"
Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul had successfully undergone a second awakening, and he had also been outside for more than half a year. Even Xu Tianran should have settled down somewhat by now.
"Brother Yu, let's head out and understand the situation first."
Su Yu nodded, not rushing Huo Yuhao to make a choice.
To be honest, once they entered the Endless Volcano, they were indeed seriously out of touch with human society on the Douluo Continent.
...
"You two kids, you vanished over there for four months and just came back now?" Feng Kuang said to them, perplexed.
Every month, he would deliver his findings through the passage, while Su Yu and Huo Yuhao stayed over there without coming back.
Without the pressure of supporting the forces behind them, they were truly enviable.
Outside the Endless Volcano, the Kuangyun Guard Team had established a base, where Su Yu and Huo Yuhao happened to meet Feng Kuang as they emerged.
"Haha, just didn't want to take too many trips."
Su Yu laughed off the question, not detailing their actions over there.
After all, they had essentially scoured almost all the resources of the continent. Although they hadn't looted excessively, it was still not something easy to say out loud.
Then there was the Soul-guiding Technology inheritance of the three tribes.
On this point, Su Yu wasn't concerned.
The Soul-guiding Theory he left was below Level 4 and contained only some common Core Array inheritances.
Below Level 4, Core Arrays without special effects are actually just simple pattern stacking, from simple to complex, and then to more complex.
No refined techniques or skills.
Even if the Essence Sect obtained them, it wouldn't have a significant impact.
For any force with some inheritance of Soul-guiding Device theory, these overlaps are something they could experiment with independently.
The current Douluo Three Kingdoms lacks technology starting from Level 4 and Level 5.
Levels 5, 7, 8, and 9 all have technology that completely elevates Soul-guiding Devices, involving skills that are most lacking in the Douluo Three Kingdoms.
"Brother Kuang, we haven't been out for four months, and we don't know if there have been any major events on the Douluo Continent. You frequently return, is there any special news?"
"There is, of course." Feng Kuang, though traveling to and from the Essence Sect, remained a member of the Guard Team and frequently encountered all kinds of news.
"The strongest sect in the Douling Empire, the Profound Nether Sect, has announced its seclusion. From now on, aside from selling Profound Water Pills to support the operation of the sect, it will no longer communicate with the outside world."
"The Sun and Moon Empire has announced the rules for the next Soul Fighting Competition. This time, sect teams have been added, but the requirements for participating teams have increased, especially for sect teams, which must have at least five Soul Sect-level contestants to register."
"The Sun and Moon Empire has intensified its offensive against the Xingluo Empire. The White Tiger Duke leads the army in resistance and is currently besieged in the Mingdu Mountain Range. The situation is unknown."
"In addition to the Xingluo Empire, there have also been gradually increasing conflicts at the border between the Celestial Soul Empire and the Sun and Moon Empire. The area west of Celestial Armor City has been forcibly occupied by the Sun and Moon Empire."
There have indeed been quite a few significant events on the Douluo Continent in these four months.
In just a month of battle, the Sun and Moon Empire seized a large amount of territory from the Celestial Soul Empire.
The disparity is truly lamentable.
One wonders if Xu Tianran wanted to showcase the country's strength or what.
After all, Xu Tianran should be consolidating his position and maintaining external peace as best as possible at this time.
After all, amidst multiple threats, Xu Tianran's position might be shaken.
In addition to these messages, Feng Kuang also spoke of many other matters. For example, how the Sect Leader of the Iron Blood Sect, Kuang Tie, successfully obtained the Seventh Soul Ring and advanced to Soul Saint; during this period, the Guard Team also expanded significantly, reaching a scale of three digits...
