Time returned to twenty thousand years ago, on the normal timeline.
Chen Yu felt his spiritual power continuously increasing day by day, yet he frowned.
This spiritual power wasn’t surging dramatically as he had previously imagined.
Instead, it was rising steadily, but the increase wasn’t substantial.
Chen Yu didn’t understand why—after all, he had already exposed the Whale Glue!
However, Chen Yu naturally didn’t know that his golden finger could only enhance spiritual power through direct means.
If Spirit Masters from Tang San’s era held faith in Chen Yu, then his spiritual power would increase at the highest rate.
If Chen Yu revealed that Whale Glue could enhance a Spirit Master’s physique, improve their talent, and increase the age limit of Soul Rings, then Spirit Masters from Tang San’s era could also provide Chen Yu with a substantial amount of spiritual power.
But this time, the changes in the Heavenly Screen Live Stream were, overall, indirect.
Chen Yu had gained a large amount of spiritual power after first developing the cultivation technique.
Afterward, the exchanges between cultivation techniques were all initiated by the Spirit Masters themselves.
So, no matter who the Heavenly Screen Live Stream broadcasted, Spirit Masters from Tang San’s era would begin actively exchanging ideas, leading to significant changes.
Moreover, it was certain that the Douluo Continent twenty thousand years later would descend into chaos.
Of course, although Chen Yu’s spiritual power hadn’t skyrocketed now, it was still slightly higher than before.
This was because the effects of Chen Yu’s Ice Heart Formula were simply too powerful.
Among so many ice and water attribute Spirit Masters, there were always some who would choose to have faith in Chen Yu.
Of course, Chen Yu wasn’t particularly remarkable now, and most Spirit Masters couldn’t be said to have faith in him—it was more like admiration!
Now, holed up in a cave, Chen Yu felt he couldn’t just sit back and wait.
The Whale Glue absolutely could not be exposed.
So, what else could he expose to gain a substantial amount of spiritual power feedback?
This had to be something recognized by the Spirit Masters in the tribe and possess a certain degree of dissemination.
After pondering for a while, Chen Yu thought of a solution.
That was to inform the tribespeople about the most suitable Soul Ring limits.
After all, in this era, information flowed slowly—even Spirit Masters in Snow Spirit City had white double Soul Rings.
If he spread the word about normal Soul Ring limits, wouldn’t he be able to earn a large amount of spiritual power feedback?
But soon, Chen Yu dismissed this idea.
Regarding Soul Ring limits, he currently had no way to convince the Spirit Masters in the tribe.
Even if he could convince them, there weren’t many Spirit Masters in the tribe who needed to acquire Soul Rings.
Thus, Chen Yu still wouldn’t receive much spiritual power feedback.
Got it!
Before long, Chen Yu truly thought of a good solution.
That was self-created soul skills!
Of course, these self-created soul skills weren’t the kind tailored to a Spirit Master’s Martial Soul.
Instead, they were ordinary self-created soul skills suitable for everyone to cultivate.
In his previous life, Chen Yu had seen so many anime and novels—creating some self-created soul skills was as easy as lifting a finger for him.
So, Chen Yu stopped pondering in the cave and instead hurried out, heading straight for the massive snow pines within the tribe’s patrol range.
By this time, Chen Yu also noticed ideas flooding his mind one after another.
For example, like Tang San crafting hidden weapons—though of course, he definitely wouldn’t be making hidden weapons himself; he could find a way to manufacture crossbows instead.
Or, for instance, compiling a series of tests for Spirit Master abilities and writing them into books to disseminate would surely be even better.
However, in this era, one could only write popular science-type books.
Otherwise, in this precarious, Soul Beast-dominated age, there simply wouldn’t be much spiritual power feedback to gain.
Many Spirit Masters couldn’t even fill their stomachs—who would have time to read your novels?
Of course, for Chen Yu at the moment, manufacturing crossbows and compiling tests for Spirit Master abilities were still quite challenging.
But Chen Yu had ideas.
Crossbows could be set aside for now, but popular science-type books were something he was capable of.
After all, he had ready-made material.
This material was called the Ten Core Competitiveness Theories.
Of course, Yu Xiaogang’s theories were somewhat nonsensical, but in this current era, they would absolutely be a case of overwhelming superiority!
Moreover, Chen Yu had his own understanding and could revise many aspects.
Such as theories on Soul Ring age limits, for instance.
The more Chen Yu thought about it, the more excited he became.
The only issue was that their tribe didn’t have much paper for him to write out the Ten Core Competitiveness Theories.
So for now, he would focus on creating self-created soul skills first.
Chen Yu began to move.
The first self-created soul skill he thought of was the tree-climbing and water-walking techniques from Naruto.
Gathering chakra in his feet and continuously outputting it to adhere to trees or walk on water.
This tree-climbing and water-walking training could not only hone his control over Soul Power but also serve as a prerequisite for the Spiral Sphere.
After all, as long as Chen Yu’s control improved, the Spiral Sphere would naturally become one of his goals.
Similarly, there was the Monstrous Strength Technique, a skill that anyone could learn.
Speaking of self-created soul skills, Chen Yu had already given it much thought.
After realizing that this world was a primitive era dominated by Soul Beasts, Chen Yu’s first idea was to follow the path of a defense-type battle soul master—surviving and staying alive came first.
Only by staying alive could one deal damage; only by staying alive could one ascend to godhood.
And Chen Yu wasn’t just randomly speculating.
He had a planned approach, choosing the path of a defense-type battle soul master for himself.
If his Martial Soul turned out unsuitable, he would immediately shift his thinking, but he likely wouldn’t pursue the strong assault type; instead, he would lean toward the control type.
There were many reasons for this.
First, Chen Yu was a child of the Black Rhinoceros Tribe.
If nothing unexpected happened, his Martial Soul would be ice-attribute, possibly inheriting his father’s Ice-Armored Rhinoceros Martial Soul or his mother’s Ice Spirit Snake Martial Soul.
But regardless of which, it would definitely be ice-attribute, unless his Martial Soul mutated.
Ice-attribute had many advantages, such as shaping ice to form shields for defense, which could save his life.
It could also transform into ice prisons for control and attrition.
If Chen Yu could later evolve his attribute into ultimate ice, he could even attempt to absorb the Soul Ring of an Ice Jade Scorpion.
Chen Yu knew that there was an Ice Jade Scorpion capable of using the Ice Explosion Technique, which should still be alive in this era.
He just didn’t know its cultivation level yet.
So his plan was to continuously create ice shields for defense and survival.
Once enough ice shields accumulated, he could use the Ice Explosion Technique to detonate them.
Infinite Shield combined with Ice Explosion Technique could instantly annihilate any opponent of the same level.
This plan was excellent, with only one drawback: he still didn’t know the cultivation level of that Ice Jade Scorpion capable of using the Ice Explosion Technique.
He couldn’t be certain when he would reach the level of ultimate ice.
But overall, the plan could be called perfect, and there was no need to consider anything else.
Even if there were other plans, they would be inferior versions of this one.
As for Chen Yu’s other reason, it was his golden finger.
His continuously improving spiritual power would eventually grant him an extremely powerful attack soul skill.
Spiritual attacks, invisible and intangible, ignoring all defenses, never missing…
He would use spiritual power far surpassing that of Spirit Masters at his level to achieve absolute offense.
Spiritual attacks for offense, ice-attribute Martial Soul for defense.
This plan was simply perfect.
