Chapter 233: Spirit Beast World: Jerry Researches Thunder Tribulation Crossing

The Soul Guidance World has already developed to this point; Jerry has already helped with what he could, and the rest is left to time. With the passage of time, the world will sooner or later achieve Recovery.

Next, Jerry examined the Fairy World guided by the Fairy Queen; this world is interesting, as no humans were born there.

Under the guidance of the Fairy Queen, the Soul Beasts all chose to transform into Fairies, and therefore, humans did not appear.

After transforming into Fairies, the Demon Beasts became closer to nature; the entire world is a forest, and there are no buildings at all.

The world is lush and green, the air is fresh, and the scenery is pleasant.

If one wanted to cultivate their character in the future, coming to live in this world for a period of time would be the best thing possible.

This world has never seen war break out; apart from Cultivation, all other aspects have developed very slowly, which did not provide Jerry with any great gains, but it does make one feel at peace in their heart.

Then, Jerry came to the Spirit Beast World developed by the Silver Dragon King.

The Silver Dragon King specifically hid the rules of transformation, because for a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, facing the Thunder Tribulation is the only way out.

This world also has no humans, only some Soul Beasts with relatively high cultivation levels that have transformed.

Because the Thunder Tribulation is always hanging over their heads, other aspects have not developed, and Cultivation is very slow.

The realms of Cultivation in this world have also been redefined.

Ordinary Cultivation is divided into One-Tribulation Soul Beast, Two-Tribulation Soul Beast, Three-Tribulation Soul Beast, all the way up to Nine-Tribulation Soul Beast.

After the Nine Tribulations, there is the God-Tribulation Soul Beast.

Moreover, this world has not given birth to any Cultivation techniques; after surviving one Thunder Tribulation, many Soul Beasts deliberately slow down their own Cultivation speed—why would they ever go and research any Cultivation techniques?

Researching Cultivation techniques to accelerate Cultivation, for them, just means facing the Thunder Tribulation sooner; do they want to die early?

So many years have passed, and the most powerful being in the entire world is only a Three-Tribulation Soul Beast.

After seeing this, Jerry felt he had to remind the Silver Dragon King.

"Silver Dragon King, I know your thoughts, but have you ever thought that your method is wrong?"

The Silver Dragon King was originally full of pride, because during this period, this world had produced one Three-Tribulation Soul Beast, one hundred and thirty-seven Two-Tribulation Soul Beasts, and over one thousand three hundred One-Tribulation Soul Beasts.

In her view, this was already very powerful, far exceeding the Star Dou Great Forest of the Main World.

But she never expected that Jerry would say her method was wrong.

At first, she thought it was because Jerry hadn't seen her achievements, which is why he said that.

But after calming down and thinking carefully, having known Jerry for so long, it was impossible for Jerry to say these things without reason.

She then asked: "Is there a problem with the method?"

Jerry also saw the Silver Dragon King's hesitation, and then said: "Look at all the Soul Beasts in this world; they are now afraid of Cultivation."

"Soul Beasts are meant to defy the heavens; if they are afraid to cultivate because they fear the Thunder Tribulation, then these Soul Beasts are also trash."

Hearing Jerry say that the Soul Beasts fear Cultivation, the Silver Dragon King was also very angry, because being afraid to cultivate due to the fear of the Thunder Tribulation is simply a disgrace to Soul Beasts.

"I understand you, but the world is like this now; the Soul Beasts that have survived the Thunder Tribulation are even more afraid of Cultivation. Look, they are all suppressing their own Cultivation speed!"

Jerry felt that he must make the Silver Dragon King see this clearly.

Otherwise, if the world develops like this, the Soul Beasts within it will all fear the Thunder Tribulation and will sooner or later die under the next one.

To change this world, the first point is to make these Soul Beasts no longer fear the Thunder Tribulation.

"I know this situation; it's the same as the Main World before."

"If it weren't for the Tribulation Crossing Site you created, the Soul Beasts of the Main World wouldn't have dared to break through easily either."

"I was just thinking, as the world develops, whether this world would give birth to a method that doesn't fear the Thunder Tribulation; this method is very important."

"After all, not every world has you, so I wanted to see if the Soul Beasts could research a method to cross the tribulation through their own efforts."

Saying this, the Silver Dragon King felt a bit sad and didn't say anything else.

Jerry knew the Silver Dragon King's goal, but the method was wrong.

Where does the Thunder Tribulation come from?

It was added by the gods of the Main World.

How can ordinary Soul Beasts resist the Rule of gods?

Relying on these Soul Beasts to develop on their own, they have all taken a detour; how long would this development take? A million years? Ten million years?

This was not Jerry's original intention in replicating worlds.

What was Jerry's original intention?

To improve himself and improve the Main World through replicating worlds.

Now, seeing this world guided by the Silver Dragon King, it has absolutely no value.

And look at what these Soul Beasts below are researching?

They are researching how to make Cultivation slower?

Seeing these Soul Beasts research this, Jerry felt very helpless.

Others research how to progress, while here they research how to stay in place.

Since this world has developed in this direction, it must be set right, otherwise, this world is ruined.

"Silver Dragon King, I know your goal; from now on, watch how I do it, and how I guide this world to achieve your goal!"

The Silver Dragon King, she truly doesn't know how to manage or develop; she only knows how to use powerful strength to intimidate other Soul Beasts.

If it were about conquering cities and seizing territory, the Silver Dragon King would definitely be a good general.

But after the victory, when it comes to developing a nation, the Silver Dragon King is not capable.

Between attacking and defending, defending is actually more difficult.

Jerry then transformed into the appearance of a Fairy and came to this world.

Afterward, he began to make contact with these Soul Beasts that had survived the tribulation.

The Soul Beasts of this world have very simple minds; after all, with the Thunder Tribulation hanging over everyone's heads, there is no time for schemes and plots, so Jerry quickly integrated into this place.

Then, through language, he guided these Soul Beasts and slowly changed their thinking.

Once the timing was ripe, Jerry directly deduced writing and language.

After writing and language emerged, he guided these Soul Beasts to record all their experiences of surviving the Thunder Tribulation, so that later Soul Beasts could watch and learn.

Everyone watched and learned from each other, and soon they summarized some tips for surviving the Thunder Tribulation.

Then Jerry began to collect the data and organize it.

Eventually, Jerry finally obtained some useful things.

In the Main World, Jerry had guided the Thunder Tribulation underground through a Lightning Rod, but he had never truly studied the Thunder Tribulation, nor had he studied why some Soul Beasts could survive it while others could not.

Now, with so much experience in surviving the Thunder Tribulation, plus Jerry's own observations and deductions, he finally understood why some Soul Beasts could not survive the tribulation.

The Thunder Tribulation is actually very simple; its power is fixed.

According to the Main World's theory, there is one Thunder Tribulation at one hundred thousand years, two at two hundred thousand years, and so on.

Because Soul Beasts all rely on instinct for Cultivation, by the time they reach one hundred thousand years, there are differences in every Soul Beast's Body Strength and Recovery ability.

Soul Beasts with strong bodies, after surviving the first Thunder Tribulation, will at most suffer heavy injuries and then slowly recover.

Some recovered, but others did not; although they survived the Thunder Tribulation, their injuries did not heal, and they eventually died from those injuries.

Soul Beasts with bodies that are too weak cannot even withstand a single Thunder Tribulation, let alone talk about recovery.

Therefore, the key to surviving the Thunder Tribulation lies in the Soul Beast's own Body Strength and Recovery ability.

In the Main World, Jerry had studied instruments for detecting physical data, but the instruments there were mainly for detecting Spirit Masters, and Body Strength was determined by the age of the Spirit Ring one could withstand.

But Soul Beasts are different; this Body Strength should be tested according to how many Thunder Tribulations they can withstand.

Subsequently, Jerry subdued a group of subordinates, under the slogan of learning together and surviving the Thunder Tribulation together.

Many Soul Beasts were watching Jerry's spectacle; with the Thunder Tribulation hanging over their heads, he was still recruiting subordinates and building a faction—it was simply a waste of time.

Once you fail to survive the Thunder Tribulation, wouldn't all your subordinates just scatter in a flurry?

Jerry also knew that a group of Soul Beasts was waiting to see him make a fool of himself, but Jerry did not mind this.

On the path of research, one will always be gossiped about by others, facing all kinds of rumors.

That is because others do not understand; only when you succeed will others acknowledge you, and those previous rumors will collapse on their own.

Jerry did know a few methods to improve Body Strength.

One is to absorb Spirit Rings and soul bones; in this world of Soul Beasts, this method is directly excluded.

The second is exercise; through exercise, the body absorbs more nutrients and slowly becomes stronger.

The third is gravity; living under high gravity for a long time causes the body to slowly become stronger to adapt to the gravity.

The third method is very good, but it requires a Gravity Array; in this world of Soul Beasts, there are no Soul Guidance Masters at all.

Using it here is equivalent to using a cheat.

Unless the Soul Beasts here can research a Gravity Array themselves.

There is no Gravity Array, but Jerry can use other methods to utilize a Gravity Array.

Because many Soul Beasts have gravity skills, and some powerful Soul Beasts have a Gravity Domain.

Subsequently, Jerry felt that using the second and third methods in combination would have the best effect.

Then he began to search the whole world for Soul Beasts that possessed gravity skills.

And it must be said, Soul Beasts with gravity skills were truly easy to find; he soon found seven One-Tribulation Soul Beasts, two Two-Tribulation Soul Beasts, and forty or fifty Soul Beasts that had not yet undergone a tribulation.

Because of their use of gravity skills, the bodies of these Soul Beasts were generally stronger.

It was just that they did not have a systematic understanding of the benefits of gravity and only used it during combat; therefore, although there was an improvement in Body Strength, the improvement was not great.

Among the two Two-Tribulation Soul Beasts, there was a Heavy Earth Giant Ape that had mastered a Gravity Domain.

A Gravity Domain is actually a type under the Earth Attribute Rule, so Soul Beasts with the Earth Attribute are more likely to learn gravity soul skills.

After Jerry's persuasion and the slight exposure of his strength, it was successfully recruited as Jerry's subordinate.

Only Two-Tribulation Soul Beasts can transform into human form; those below the second tribulation are all in beast form, of all different kinds, so human exercise methods are not suitable for Soul Beasts.

Then, let's start with the most basic running.

Jerry cleared an open space in the forest.

Then he had the Soul Beasts with gravity skills release gravity, but for these Soul Beasts with gravity skills, gravity was only a means of attack, and the duration was very short.

So the key still depended on the Two-Tribulation Soul Beast, the Heavy Earth Giant Ape.

Because Jerry had subordinates, he arranged a group specifically to search for food.

There was also a group of Soul Beasts with Healing, soul power Recovery, and physical stamina Recovery skills, and he arranged for them to be responsible for medical support during Cultivation.

The other Soul Beasts began to move under the Gravity Domain.

During this period, Jerry successively subdued over a thousand Soul Beasts and then categorized those among them with special skills.

For the first batch, Jerry directly arranged for 500 Soul Beasts over eighty thousand years old to begin the experiment.

It started with one-fold gravity; Soul Beasts are not humans, their bodies are already very strong.

Because the Body Strength of these Soul Beasts varied, under one-fold gravity, some were very relaxed, while others struggled.

However, this was only temporary; Jerry would slowly increase the gravity later.

As time passed, these Soul Beasts were all working hard to exercise, and Jerry provided the food; they only needed to exercise every day, so they improved very quickly, and now these five hundred Soul Beasts had all adapted to one-fold gravity.

At this time, Jerry had the Heavy Earth Giant Ape directly increase the gravity to two-fold.

This time, many Soul Beasts suffered; they lay on the ground, unable to even crawl, but Jerry did not pay them any mind—as long as they didn't die, they could lie on the ground and slowly adapt; besides, there was a group of Soul Beasts nearby providing medical support, so there was no need to worry at all.

While they were cultivating, Jerry quietly tested the Body Strength of all the Soul Beasts in this world that had undergone a tribulation.

However, this time he directly set it as a numerical value: the Body Strength of a One-Tribulation Soul Beast was one hundred, a Two-Tribulation Soul Beast was two hundred, and a Three-Tribulation Soul Beast was three hundred; there were no values for anything higher because the highest in this world right now were Three-Tribulation Soul Beasts.

Moreover, this value of Jerry's was still a safe value.

For example, for a One-Tribulation Soul Beast at one hundred, in reality, eighty is enough to survive the Thunder Tribulation, but it would suffer very heavy injuries.

Previously, Soul Beasts cultivated individually and recovered individually when injured, but if Jerry gathered the Healing Soul Beasts together to help with recovery, it could also be counted as successfully surviving the Thunder Tribulation.

Jerry did not do this, because if one's Body Strength is 100, one can fully withstand the Thunder Tribulation and will only suffer minor injuries, which will recover on their own in a few days.

Because it is impossible for a bunch of healing Soul Beasts to be there to provide protection every time a Soul Beast undergoes a tribulation.

When undergoing the Thunder Tribulation, others cannot interfere. If they interfere, a Thunder Tribulation with double the power will descend and strike the interferer.

It seems the gods of the Main World also considered this problem, which is why they set it up this way.

However, in Jerry's eyes, this setting has many loopholes.

If it were before, Jerry would not have noticed, but for the current Jerry, the loopholes are there.

For example, some Spirit Guidance Devices for Healing, if used by the creature undergoing the tribulation itself, do not count as interference.

There are also Recovery Arrays and Treatment Arrays; undergoing the tribulation directly inside an array, recovering while undergoing the tribulation, this also does not count as interference.

These two methods are not suitable for use in this world, but they can be used in the Main World.

When the time comes, I will organize a complete set of data on tribulation crossing to give to the Silver Dragon King, and also tell her about these materials that assist in tribulation crossing, letting her control it herself.

After the five hundred Soul Beasts adapted to double gravity, Jerry performed a Body Strength test on all of them.

The highest was eighty, and the lowest was sixty.

The Soul Beast that reached eighty was only a little unaccustomed at first, but it soon moved freely under double gravity; it seems this is because its own Body Strength is relatively high.

Then he had the Gravity Great Ape adjust the gravity to triple.

The Gravity Great Ape really didn't know Jerry's purpose in doing this, but since Jerry provided him with good food and drink, it didn't care about so much.

After adapting to triple gravity, they were tested again.

The best was still eighty, and the lowest was sixty-five.

Then he continued to increase the gravity.

It wasn't until eight times gravity that the Soul Beast that initially reached a Body Strength of eighty felt pressure and was no longer so easy to adapt to.

Seeing this, Jerry made an inference about the relationship between the gravity multiplier and Body Strength: 1:10; at one times gravity, the maximum Body Strength reaches ten; at two times gravity, Body Strength reaches twenty, and so on.

With Jerry's training, the Body Strength of these Soul Beasts all reached one hundred. After reaching one hundred, increasing the gravity further made it very difficult for the Soul Beasts to adapt, and it could no longer be improved.

Jerry knew that it was restricted by the World Rule again; it seems he can only let them undergo the tribulation.

At the beginning, these Soul Beasts were all Soul Beasts over eighty thousand years old; this period of Cultivation, from one times gravity to ten times gravity, took a full two years.

Moreover, they trained under eleven times gravity for three months without any improvement.

During these two-plus years, they were instinctively suppressing their own soul power, and Jerry knew this too.

But how could Jerry let them succeed?

He secretly set up a Spirit Gathering Array underground, and even set it to three hundred times intensity.

Furthermore, Jerry added Soul Power Pill powder to the food they usually ate.

Then these Soul Beasts could no longer suppress it themselves.

In two years and three months, the cultivation of all the Soul Beasts reached nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years; reaching this age was because Jerry helped them suppress it.

Why do this?

Jerry has his own ideas; a single Soul Beast successfully crossing the tribulation cannot affect the entire Spirit Beast World.

A collective tribulation is the most shocking.

Now the time has come, and Jerry has cleared out another Tribulation Crossing Site outside.

Then he personally invited all the Soul Beasts that had crossed the tribulation to watch the scene of this tribulation.

After this news spread, many Soul Beasts that had not crossed the tribulation also spontaneously ran over to watch.

Jerry checked, and after all the Soul Beasts had arrived.

The collective tribulation now begins.

Following Jerry's order, the five hundred Soul Beasts separated directly, spaced out at a distance of one hundred meters per Soul Beast.

After all, it is the first tribulation, the range is not that large, and one hundred meters is enough.

After the five hundred Soul Beasts stood in place, Jerry directly released the suppression.

The cultivation of these Soul Beasts had long reached the limit under Jerry's suppression; when Jerry released the suppression, they instantly broke through to one hundred thousand years.

Above the sky, five hundred dark clouds appeared in an instant.

It was a gray expanse, the Sun was blocked, and the sky dimmed directly, as if entering the night.

After the dark clouds appeared, they began to gather; perhaps because they needed to gather five hundred clouds at once this time, the gathering was a bit slow.

As the first dark cloud finished gathering, a bolt of Thunder struck down directly; the Soul Beasts below were still looking up at the dark clouds above their heads and hadn't reacted yet before they were struck.

After the first Thunder Tribulation was struck, the dark cloud did not dissipate, but instead merged directly into the nearby dark clouds.

With the integration of this dark cloud, it gathered quickly, and instantly a Thunder Tribulation struck down.

After striking, this dark cloud merged into other dark clouds again.

With the merging of the dark clouds, the Thunder Tribulation in the sky struck faster and faster; sometimes two Thunder Tribulations struck together, and sometimes three struck together.
