I Reincarnated in Douluo and Became a Member of Multiverse Chat Group.

Sorry for the very late updates.

Had an accident a couple of months ago, not anything too serious. But I suffered fracture in my right arm, which made it quite hard for writing.

Anyway, I'll be resuming updates from today.

......

The next day.

In a grand office room.

Rayne was looking through the data recorded in the database of the city.

A level 13 soul tool mecha, a divine tool per se, but without divine power, personally built by Rayne, acts as a super computer and a massive data storage, connecting to all communication devices in the city.

It collects and stores all information in the city, and also assists in the maintenance and operation of this technologically advanced city, with its super artificial intelligence.

The processing capabilities of this soul tool-version super computer surpasses most of the similar ones in his past life.

Looking through the data, Rayne saw that the soul tool research and development institution now has a total of six 'Class Five' Soul Engineers and about two dozen 'Class Four' Soul Engineers, along with more than three hundred First Class and Second Class Soul Engineers.

"Hmm... In just two and a half years, there are so many soul engineers above third class. Even if it's under the guidance of my clone, their talent in soul tool technology is undeniable."

Rayne murmured to himself, nodding from time to time.

He looked through other statistics as well, such as Blacksmiths, pharmacists, etc.

The results were quite good.

At this time, a blue screen popped up and an old man's image appeared before him.

"My lord, may I enter?"

"Yes."

With Rayne's reply, the blue screen disappeared.

Click—

The door to the office was opened, and an old man and an old woman entered the room.

At the sight of Rayne sitting leisurely on the chair, the two elders didn't show any dissatisfaction, rather bowed their head slightly and greeted him respectfully.

"Greetings, my lord!" Said the two elderly couple.

Rayne nodded.

These two are Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang!

Two characters that have appeared in the original novel, and also the grandparents of Meng Yiran, another prominent female support character from the original work.

Unparalleled Dragon Serpent!

Meng Shu is a tall and skinny elder looking at least over seventy years old, with a head of silver hair just like Chao Tianxiang.

In his hand he carries a light silver Dragon Headed Staff over four meters long. A face covered with wrinkles showed his age but he contains an imposing aura.

Chao Tianxiang being an old lady has a full head of white hair combed very neatly. There are more than a few wrinkles on her face signifying her age but the skin color is rosy like a baby's. She has a pair of eyes bright and shiny. She uses her 3 meter long Serpent Cane held in her right hand.

These two weren't recruited by Rayne himself, but rather Dugu Bo.

It seemed that these people knew each other before, which Rayne himself hadn't known.

After joining the Ouroboros organization, these people have received some benefits from Rayne in accordance with their contribution.

In the original work, Meng Shu was a level 80+ Soul Douluo with an average soul ring configuration of two yellow, three purple and three black.

Chao Tianxiang was a level 69 soul emperor with an even more average soul ring configuration of three yellow, two purple and one black.

But these two have a fairly strong martial soul fusion skill, which has made them quite famous and feared in the soul master world.

Currently, Meng Shu is a level 88 Soul Douluo, and even some of his soul rings were upgraded by Rayne.

Chao Tianxiang is a level 75 Soul Saint, and similarly, her soul rings were also upgraded a bit.

Their grandchild, Meng Yiran was registered in the Ouroboros soul master Academy for training.

For a couple of years, these two were sent away on a mission by Rayne.

"Seeing you two return at this time, I believe your mission saw some success?"

Rayne asked with a smile as he motioned his hand to allow them to take seat.

Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang took their seats, and Meng Shu began to elaborate.

"Yes, my lord. Following your plans, we have brought back more than five hundred newly awakened children to the academy."

Meng Shu said with a bit of excitement.

Even till now, he still has a hard time grasping the reality. In the past three to four years, Meng Shu and his wife had done some incredible things under Rayne's orders.

More than five hundred children with soul power, recruited.

Of course, even if you gather civilians from all over the continent, it'll be hard to find even more than a hundred children with soul power, per year.

Obviously, all these more than five hundred children possess innate soul power through artificial means.

Rayne had asked them to awaken the martial souls of about twenty remote villages in the Western border of Heaven Dou Empire.

Rayne himself had obtained the rights for managing the martial soul awakening ceremony of these villages from Spirit Hall for four years, at the cost of a 37,000-year-old Fire Ape right arm soul bone.

Normally, every year, there are about fifteen children at average, awakening their martial soul, in each village. This can go upto fifty or higher, or go down to six or seven.

Of course, the possibility of having soul power after awakening martial soul is one in thousand.

The ability to possess innate soul power depends on many factors such as powerful bloodline, occasional medicinal herb bath, nutritious food with soul beast meat, etc.

This is also why the nobles, sects and other top forces all have such a high chance of having innate soul power after awakening martial souls.

Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang knew that their leader was trying to recruit new members to the organization.

But they never expected that he would actually create more than five hundred soul masters from civilians with low level bloodline, just because he was lazy and unwilling to poach from other forces.

Their leader, that is Rayne, gave them a special medicine that makes it possible for an ordinary human who hasn't awakened his/her martial soul, the ability to generate innate soul power.

Basically, increase their affinity to soul power, making it possible to become a soul master.

Although it is only a small increase of just one level, innate soul power level 1 is still better than nothing.

Rayne also provided a special medicine called brain awakening potion, which has the function of temporarily increasing ones brain's capabilities, which made it easier for the children to understand and start cultivating the simplified Mysterious Heaven Skill. Only the first level of the technique, which is proportionate to the first ten levels of soul power.

One can't expect a normal child to understand something complicated as the Mysterious Heaven Skill, even if it is assisted by a magical potion that enhances comprehension.

So, Rayne simplified it to a certain level.

With innate soul power and the assistance of Mysterious Heaven Skill,

By the time all these children awakened their martial soul, they had at least level 5 innate soul power at the minimum.

The highest of them even have level 9 innate soul power.

Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang also knew about the miraculous Mysterious Heaven Skill.

They have also switched to this cultivation technique along with their family.

"My lord, is it really worth all the resources to recruit all these civilians? Even if they have soul power thanks to you, their martial souls still remain low level with almost no potential."

"They are ultimately weaker than a genuine soul master."

Chao Tianxiang asked in a doubtful tone.

Although she is also proud to be a part of this insane operation of artificially creating a large number of soul masters, she still didn't see much potential in all these children.

"It doesn't matter. I recruited them to make up the numbers anyway. Compared to those rogue mercenaries with already established moral values, it's better to train some kids in our academy by ourselves."

"Besides, there is no such thing as useless martial soul. A martial soul is a wonderful miracle belonging to humans. It has excellent development potential, regardless of their initial level."

"Meng Shu, Chao Tianxiang. I believe I've said it to you two before. The moral values of people in this world, especially the soul masters are severely wrong. Especially the nobles and the rogue soul masters."

"I don't need to say anything about the rotten-to-the-core nature of the nobles which you don't know. Slavery is the least of their evil deeds."

"The rogue soul masters, those that don't belong to any forces, are quite nasty. At least 60% of them, according to our statistics. At the beginning they have some incredible goals, but gradually, they adapt to the cruel world. They steal, plunder, kill for anything they desire."

"That itself, I can't say anything about it. Since there is no such thing as everyone benefiting without any loss. For one person's profit, another person has to suffer a loss."

"There is nothing wrong with fight for your own well being. That bit of selfishness is allowed for any human being."

"It's a normal law of nature. Yet, soul masters take this to the extreme."

"In the past six years, eight villages and two cities were destroyed because they got caught up in the battles of soul masters. Either it be a battle over soul bones or other treasures."

"Just because they are fighting over resources, does it really justify their massacre of countless civilians? The so-called rules of the two empires have no effect on soul masters."

"Meng Shu, Chao Tianxiang. What I want is not a perfect peaceful world! Such a thing is impossible and unpractical. But I believe, a normal world with proper rules to restrain all these uncouth human evils and promote the development of civilization, isn't too much to ask for."

"The time has come for the end of this disgusting era."

Rayne stood up from his chair, a superior aura emanating from him that made the two elderly couple even more respectful.

"I am satisfied with your efforts over the past four years! Well done!"

Rayne looked at the with recognition and praise.

"We're just fulfilling our responsibility to the Ouroboros!"

Meng Shu responded in a hurried tone, and Chao Tianxiang also followed.

Rayne nodded.

Then he said,

"Regardless, your hard work and contribution to the Ouroboros has been acknowledged by me!"

"Here, these are your rewards!"

Having said that, Rayne retrieved eighteen glowing soul bones from the Gate of Ashburn.

"Soul bones!!!"

Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang exclaimed in utter shock.

"Soul bones... So many of them..."

Meng Shu murmured in disbelief.

He had never seen so many soul bones in his entire life.

And from the aura he was sensing, Meng Shu was sure that these soul bones were definitely high level soul bones.

Chao Tianxiang was stunned speechless.

Soul bones are considered one of the most valuable treasures in this world.

Neither she nor her husband has a single soul bone on them.

This shows the rarity and elusive nature of the soul bone.

Only those with extraordinary luck can encounter a soul bone in their whole lives.

Even most Titled Douluo don't have a soul bone suitable for them or of high age appropriate for them.

Rayne ignored their shock and distributed the soul bones.

"There are three sets of soul bones for you as well as your granddaughter. One top grade Dragon soul bones set and two top grade Snake soul bones sets."

"All soul bones are 75,000-years-old in level. Divide it among yourself. I believe you know how to do so."

Rayne didn't think much of these soul bones.

There was an fate quest a couple of years ago, that required him to move away or relocate the entire Yin Yang Ice Fire Well away from the Sunset forest to a personal territory.

Since this quest greatly changed the original destiny of Douluo continent, the rewards were rather luxurious, to say the least.

Yin Yang Ice Fire Well plays a huge role in the first four sequels of Douluo, and gathers a lot of luck.

The rewards of this quest were three sets of top-grade 75,000-year-old soul bones (one set has six soul bones, four limb positions, head and torso positions), One top-grade 100,000-year-old soul bone.

Fifty 500-year-old Spirit Souls, twenty 4,000-year-old Spirit Souls, ten 15,000-year-old Spirit Souls, five 75,000-year-old Spirit Souls, one 100,000-year-old Spirit Soul.

One Qiankun Creation Pill, and three Supreme Grade Soul Ascension Pills.

And after the completion of the quest, there was a lucky critical strike, which multiplied the original rewards by thirty times.

Rather than quality, the rewards simply increased in quantity.

So, right now Rayne has 90 sets of top-grade soul bones. A total of 540 soul bones, all of 75,000-year-old top grade level.

There are also thirty 100,000-year-old soul bones and lots of spirit souls as well.

Sometimes Rayne feel that his system is just ridiculous. The reward system may be bugged, causing it to basically give away rewards in huge bulk.

Anyway, back to the scene.

Meng Shu, although delighted and greedy, still felt that this reward was a bit too much.

After being in the Ouroboros organization and following Rayne, he and his wife had seen a far grand future than what they would've originally had.

In order to show his loyalty and for a more stable position in the Ouroboros organization, Meng Shu decided to hold back his overwhelming desire and reject these soul bones.

Although it hurts his heart, he believes he will have a better rewards in the future.

"Sir, your rewards are too much. Please take them back!"

Of course, Rayne didn't care about their inner thoughts. He was basically throwing away these soul bones that were too low-level to be given to his loved ones, but fairly high-level to be just given away casually.

Giving them away as rewards to the high-level or core members for their contributions, is a better use of these disposable soul bones.

"Just take it if I give it to you. I'm not too stingy with rewarding the efforts of my subordinates."
