Under specific circumstances, the Vision system and the Soul Ring system are not fundamentally different.
Visions are external magical organs, and in extremely rare and special situations, Visions can also be prohibited.
For those who lose their Visions, their strength will drop significantly, even to the point of becoming ordinary people.
In severe cases, they might even lose their fighting spirit, memories, and more.
As for Soul Rings, in certain special environments, such as the City of Slaughter from ten thousand years ago, Soul Rings become mere decorations and cannot be used normally.
Without the support of Soul Skills, a Soul Master's strength is reduced to less than a tenth.
The Mysterious Heavenly Record, modified by Zhongli, belongs to the elemental power cultivation system.
Even without obtaining Soul Rings, Soul Bones, or Soul Spirits, it grants a few more elemental combat skills and an elemental burst compared to Soul Masters of the same level.
This is not the power brought by a Vision but rather the power gained through human cultivation.
At the beginning, it might be very weak, inferior to ordinary Vision wielders.
However, when cultivated to a later stage, it can rival some Vision wielders. Combined with the Soul Ring system, the number of skills will also far exceed that of ordinary Vision wielders.
The attack methods of Vision wielders are not limited to just one elemental skill and one elemental burst as in the game.
Visions can also be continuously developed, which has a lot to do with the "wish power" of Vision wielders.
This system, combined with Soul Skills, indeed offers more skills, but as for strength...
On the Douluo Continent, what more strength is needed?
The Jade Star was the first to obtain the cultivation method, but not the last.
After setting up the framework for dozens of blessed lands, Zhongli also passed the elemental power cultivation method to the other six.
When it comes to cultivation, almost no one would refuse.
While cultivating, the Liyue Seven Stars did not forget their duties, which greatly satisfied Zhongli.
As for the Liyue selection for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, Zhongli paid some attention to it but soon put it out of his mind.
To Zhongli, this matter was not particularly important.
The appearance of the blessed lands was like a magnitude 7 or 8 earthquake for the people of Liyue, but when they thought it was built by the Martial God, it seemed perfectly reasonable.
In this world, is there anything the Martial God cannot do?
Although the blessed lands are in "small worlds," they can be quickly accessed through teleportation arrays, making them very convenient to use and not much of a burden for travel.
On this day, a silver-haired girl who looked about six or seven years old appeared at the gate of Zhongli's mansion, accompanied by two middle-aged men.
"I have transformed and completely rid myself of the influence of the Asura God's power. Now, it's time to promote the Soul Spirit system and Soul Spirit battles."
These three were none other than Gu Yuena, Di Tian, and Xiong Jun.
The Soul Spirit system, promoted by Zhongli, is already well-known, but Soul Spirit battles are still just a concept and have not been truly implemented.
Two years later, Liyue will host a Soul Spirit battle. People know about the concept of Soul Spirit battles but don't yet know how they work. This requires someone to promote the concept.
Gu Yuena, as the Leader of Soul Beasts, is willing to dedicate herself to vigorously promoting Soul Spirit battles, encouraging Soul Masters to focus more on cultivating and supporting their Soul Spirits rather than their own combat strength.
Di Tian does not oppose the Soul Spirit method, but he believes it will diminish the former glory of Soul Beasts or the Dragon Clan.
Becoming someone else's Soul Spirit is something he could never agree to.
But becoming the Soul Spirit of the Silver Dragon King is something he has no objection to.
To die in service of his master, Di Tian feels his life is worth it.
"Master is wise!" Di Tian said with great flattery, though his heart remained calm.
Beside him, Xiong Jun twitched at the corner of his eye. Damn that Di Tian!
If Di Tian hadn't spoken up, always so suspicious, why would Xiong Jun have become a Soul Spirit?
He is the last glory of the Soul Beasts, unwilling to become a human's Soul Spirit to survive, even knowing he cannot pass the next heavenly tribulation.
But this person is the Silver Dragon King... For the sake of the Soul Beasts' cause, he has accepted his fate.
"Master is mighty!"
Gu Yuena: "..."
"Let's visit Zhongli first. As for being wise or mighty, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I just don't say it out loud."
"Your loyalty is beyond question... but never mind, talking about this now will only damage our internal unity."
Gu Yuena is smart. She knows that Di Tian and Xiong Jun only obey her because of her identity as a fragment of the Dragon God.
Otherwise, they would simply see her as naive, innocent, and sweet...
Hearing this, Di Tian and Xiong Jun exchanged glances, both silent.
Indeed, if not for the Dragon God fragment identity, would Gu Yuena truly be worthy of their loyalty?
The Golden Dragon King would actually be a better choice, especially for Soul Beasts like them with a strong aggressive nature.
But now, there's no other choice, is there?
At that moment, the gate of Zhongli's mansion opened, and a petite figure flew out, followed by two somewhat aloof figures.
"Huh, you look familiar?"
Paimon had just left Zhongli's mansion when she saw Gu Yuena and asked in surprise.
Behind her, the Snow Empress and Ice Empress were slightly stunned upon seeing the visitors but said nothing.
"Paimon, I'm Gu Yuena."
"Oh, it's you, Miss Gu Yuena. Why have you turned into a child?"
Paimon scratched her head, puzzled.
"I've transformed and started over. By human standards, I'm now only six years old."
Gu Yuena's expression remained unchanged as she spoke frankly.
"Wow, you can actually reverse aging! That's amazing!"
Paimon didn't focus on the reincarnation but was instead shocked by Gu Yuena now being only six years old.
Among the "people" present, well, among so many humanoid beings, there wasn't a single person there.
Reincarnating equals reversing aging?
Although Gu Yuena has reincarnated, her essence has not been lost. For her, returning to her peak is just a matter of time.
"I suppose... you could call it impressive."
Gu Yuena said somewhat helplessly. Faced with such an innocent little cutie, she really didn't know how to explain.
"Hehe..."
Paimon seemed to sense something and scratched her head sheepishly. "Miss Gu Yuena, Mr. Di Tian, Mr. Xiong Jun, are you here to see Zhongli?"
"Yes, Paimon."
"Zhongli is in the living room making tea. You can go straight there."
"Miss Snow and Miss Bing and I are going to have breakfast, so we won't accompany you."
"Goodbye, Miss Gu Yuena, Mr. Di Tian, Mr. Xiong Jun!"
"Goodbye, Paimon!"
Faced with such a polite Paimon, even the usually sullen Xiong Jun managed a smile and waved goodbye to her.
After Paimon, the Snow Empress, and the Ice Empress left, Gu Yuena led Di Tian and Xiong Jun into Zhongli's mansion, heading toward the living room.
Meanwhile, Zhongli had already finished preparing the tea and was sitting in the main seat of the living room, waiting for the three "people" to arrive.
