Chapter 407: The Madness of the Sea Soul Beast! (Part )
"I thought the description in the book was an exaggerated artistic processing, but I didn't expect it to be a real square head."
Seeing the Rubik's Cube Octopus's head with her own eyes, Romantina was somewhat incredulous, marveling at the wonders of nature that could create such a cube-shaped creature.
Regarding the Rubik's Cube Octopus, the Soul Beast Encyclopedia did not describe how to judge its age, so Zhou Qing asked Ariel: "Do you know how many years this Rubik's Cube Octopus has been cultivating?"
"About a hundred years or so."
Ariel was generous and told Zhou Qing and others how to judge the age of the Rubik's Cube Octopus.
The years of cultivation of the Rubik's Cube Octopus are generally calculated based on the golden coral lines surrounding its head. One circle represents a hundred years of cultivation.
In addition, the grooves and folds on the outer layer of the light blue square brain can be used to distinguish how many years the Rubik's Cube Octopus has lived.
For every additional year you spend imitating an octopus, you will gain one more wrinkle on the grooves of your brain.
Those are the traces of time!
"Speaking of which, is that ring-shaped golden coral part of the Rubik's Cube Octopus? Or did they plant corals in those grooves and folds?" Zhou Qing asked.
"That's part of their brain, and it's also the organ they use to absorb silver light. Look!" Ariel explained, raising her hand and pointing at the hundred-year-old Rubik's Cube Octopus.
Around the golden ring-shaped coral thing on its square head, there were actually silver rays of light visible to the naked eye.
The flow of light, whether it was Tang San's Purple Demon Pupil or Zhou Qing's powerful eyesight, could not tell whether the silver light was moonlight attracted by the golden coral, or the brilliance released by it itself.
After learning that the Rubik's Cube Octopus could practice by absorbing moonlight, Zhou Qing and Tang San realized that it was the Rubik's Cube Octopus that was attracting the moonlight.
An idea popped up in both of their minds: absorb the moonlight and practice!
[Soul beasts seem to be similar to the spirits in the legends of the previous life. ]
Ever since Zhou Qing proposed the theory of the human body's cauldron and assumed that the martial soul was some kind of natural magic weapon embryo, Tang San also compared everything in Douluo Continent with various legends of gods and ghosts and stories of monsters in his previous life.
Don't say it!
After comparing them, he found that they were quite similar!
In the previous life, there was a fox demon who transformed into a human to repay a favor. In this world, there is also a rabbit who transformed into a human to avenge its mother...but this rabbit demon was easily dazzled by the colorful world at the beginning.
"In fact, the Rubik's Cube Octopus can not only absorb moonlight, but also sunlight. However, sunlight is too strong, and absorbing it directly will burn the brain of a Rubik's Cube Octopus with a cultivation level below ten thousand years." Ariel continued, "It is said that the Rubik's Cube Octopus absorbs moonlight and sunlight in order to evolve the world in its brain."
"Similar to a dream?" Zhou Qing asked tentatively.
"Do you know why the head of the Rubik's Cube Octopus is a cube? Why is it surrounded by a ring of golden coral?" Ariel did not answer directly, but asked Zhou Qing these two questions.
Ring?
cube?
The ring wraps the cube...
Spiritual attributes···
Absorbing the essence of the sun and moon is to evolve the world in the brain...
Zhou Qing pondered for a moment and guessed: "The magic cube octopus is imitating the world?"
The sky is round and the place is round!
During this period, humans on the continent also believed that the world was round and the earth was flat, instead of thinking that the world they lived in was a planet.
but--
Would the soul beasts think so? Zhou Qing thought it was possible.
In the original series, Di Tian should be the first creature who once flew around the entire Douluo Star, and finally returned to the starting point, confirming that the world is round.
Other soul beasts, even if they have reached 100,000 years old, or even become ferocious beasts, will probably just live in their original territories at most, and will not explore too much outward.
Therefore, the appearance of the Rubik's Cube Octopus's brain physically presents the state of a round sky and a square earth!
"very smart!"
Ariel was surprised, but when she realized that Zhou Qing had obtained the Ocean Star and had been able to analyze the vibrations of the ocean thoroughly before, she felt relieved - this was a very smart child.
"The Rubik's Cube Octopus is imitating the heaven and earth, trying to use mental power to construct the world in their minds."
"However, generally speaking, only a hundred thousand year level Rubik's Cube Octopus can open up a spiritual world in their spiritual sea."
"It is rumored that when a 100,000-year-old Cube Octopus dies, the spiritual world it opened up will collapse into a spiritual rosary and exist in a space that even gods cannot perceive. Only when another individual in the Cube Octopus family reaches the 100,000-year level will it appear and merge into that individual, adding one or more spiritual worlds to that individual."
Xiao Wu exclaimed: "Doesn't that mean that after the Rubik's Cube Octopus reaches 100,000 years, it can inherit the spiritual energy of its dead 100,000-year-old counterparts? It is even possible to push the spiritual power of the Rubik's Cube Octopus that has just reached the 100,000-year level to the million-year level?!"
"That's the theory."
Ariel looked at Xiao Wu deeply, her eyes calm.
Why theory?
Because this world does not allow soul beasts to become gods, due to the rules, no magic cube octopus can reach the million-year level of cultivation, not even in terms of single mental power.
Moreover, what she said before, that creatures like octopuses have no bones because they have offended the Sea God... is false, but it is true that the Rubik's Cube Octopus clan has offended the Sea God.
Among all the marine creatures in the ocean, Ariel would classify them into two major categories that are not subservient to the sea god.
The first is whales, which are not fish at all, but creatures that have returned to the ocean from land.
The second is software.
Most of these marine creatures are incapable of intelligence, so naturally they cannot submit to the Sea God or contribute their faith. However, a very small number of them are extremely intelligent, such as octopuses. The powerful ones among them actually negotiate conditions with the Sea God, and will only submit if there are benefits. If there are no benefits, they will just pretend to submit and cannot contribute even a trace of faith at all.
This also makes the sea god hate these soft-bodied sea soul beasts that are either unintelligent or cunning like humans.
The Rubik's Cube Octopus is one of them.
This disgust was also noticed by the other sea soul beasts that submitted to the Sea God, and then -
Just because the Sea God is merciful and unwilling to take action doesn't mean these fanatics won't take action.
Ever since!
Among the Rubik's Cube Octopus clan, individuals at the hundred thousand year level were besieged to death, and individuals over ten thousand years old are extremely rare today.
Only those under a thousand or a hundred years are relatively large.
This is not because the sea soul beasts are kind, but they think that if the magic cube octopus dies out, many sea soul beasts will lose their corresponding food source.
Therefore, the Rubik's Cube Octopus clan was preserved, but the growth of the Rubik's Cube Octopus was also strictly controlled - in the past 20,000 years, except for those Rubik's Cube Octopuses that survived and hid 20,000 years ago, Ariel had not seen a new Rubik's Cube Octopus being promoted to a ten-thousand-year soul beast.
