Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline.

Chapter 489 The Holy Ruler is Too Cautious! (Please Subscribe!!!)
The Abyss Saint King was wary and dared not send too many powerful subordinates into the Douluo Plane.

The fact that the dead abyssal creatures, transformed into energy, could not return was a fatal blow to him.

With the Douluo God Realm backing him up on the other side, he had to be cautious.

As a result, the Douluo Legion found things easier and proceeded smoothly according to Su Ming's battle strategy.

Despite it being the very first time the battlefield had been opened, and the first direct confrontation between two great planes, the situation was surprisingly calm, with losses on both sides remaining within manageable limits.

Three days passed quickly.

The war continued for three days without ceasing.

Inside the passage, the two sides were constantly at war. A number of abyssal creatures died, and a number of Soul Masters on Douluo's side also died.

On the battlefield plain, countless thick roots meander upwards from the ground, eventually converging at a single point, covering the entire plain like an inverted bowl. Within this bowl is a pitch-black portal, upon which runes of various elements intertwine.

"Sect Master Su Ming, we have compiled a list of common creatures in the Abyss, and they can be preliminarily included in the contribution point system."

Next to Su Ming, a Soul Master from Mingde Hall gave a report.

Su Ming took the documents from the other person's hand, glanced at them, and pointed at them.

"When the war just broke out, contribution points were distributed equally. I don't want it to be like that in the future."

More work, more reward.

This is a basic principle. If even this cannot be done, then the interdimensional war is too childish, and no Soul Master would risk their life to hunt down abyssal creatures.

Why shouldn't the stronger one gain more benefits from killing a clearly stronger enemy?
The Soul Master gave a wry smile and said, "Our system is outdated and cannot monitor the performance of so many Soul Masters on the battlefield in real time."

Su Ming waved his hand.

“This is not difficult. I will grant you the authority. The more energy a creature in the abyss has, the stronger it is. Even if there are differences, they are only between different races. In fact, there is a ratio. You just need to list the corresponding ratios for different races. I will disclose the energy values ​​absorbed by the Tree of Life.”

Su Ming's words made the Soul Master think.

"Within the legion, each person is equipped with an Abyss Bracelet, with the core made from a branch of the Tree of Life. This is the core magic circle, which can roughly communicate with the Tree of Life and know how much abyss energy it has devoured."

"Yes!"

The soul master accepted the order.

He didn't expect that Su Ming would allow them to use branches of the Tree of Life as materials to make soul tools.

Su Ming stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes fixed on the portal before him and on the enemies in the Abyss army.

We still have to wait.

This Abyss Saint King is such a coward.

Su Ming also truly experienced the deterrent power of the Douluo God Realm. He realized that with the God Realm watching over him, the Abyss Saint King would react in this way.

However, this deterrent effect also left Su Ming somewhat helpless.

"Give me an Abyss Emperor, even if it's just an Emperor at the Title Douluo level."

Although the energy provided by abyssal creatures at the Title Douluo level is limited and certainly not enough for Su Ming to directly jump from level 70 to level 80, it would be a different story if it were an Emperor.

The strength of abyssal creatures is related to the amount of abyssal energy within them.

This is not absolute.

For example, the abyssal energy contained within the emperors of each level is far beyond what ordinary abyssal creatures can possess.

A titled Douluo-level emperor contains more than a hundred times the energy of a similarly level abyssal creature.

"Give me one."

Su Ming continued to pray.

However, the Abyss Saint King was too cautious. He did not send any Emperors to participate in the battle. Even when the other side sent out Title Douluos and Super Douluos, he still did not send out any Emperors. Instead, he selected some powerful Abyss creatures to resist.

As long as the Emperor exists, the Abyss's foundation remains intact and will not collapse. However, if the Emperor dies and is devoured by the life core of the opposing side, then the Abyss will experience turmoil.

Even the collapse of one layer is a significant loss for the Abyss.

Time flies, and a month of war has passed in the blink of an eye.

Within a month, the Douluo Legion was equipped with the so-called Abyss Bracelets.

Contribution points were also calculated in the early stages before the contribution point system was established.

The level of reward corresponds to the strength of the enemy killed.

The standard here is spirit metal, which is a hard currency because it can be used to make battle armor.

By killing a Soul King, the Tree of Life can absorb the corresponding abyssal energy.

The contribution points earned are certainly not enough to obtain the first-grade metal required for a set of one-word battle armor. However, if the accumulated energy reaches the level of an abyssal creature at the Soul Saint level, then the contribution points can be exchanged for the first-grade metal required for a set of one-word battle armor.

These are all quantified values.

Actually, it is quite different from Douluo Continent III, but in this era, Su Ming also needs to improve the strength of the Douluo Soul Master world first.

What's precious here isn't the spirit metal, but rather the technology for crafting battle armor.

In Douluo Continent III, obtaining suitable spirit metals is actually more difficult than crafting battle armor.

With the Abyss Bracelet, quantifiable contribution points, and a clear goal, Soul Masters are now motivated, and their enthusiasm for hunting Abyss creatures has soared.

Unfortunately, even those who are familiar with fighting abyssal creatures often need two or three people to work together to kill an abyssal creature of the same level.

This also makes it less than satisfactory for many Soul Masters to obtain Battle Armor.

However, there are also intelligent people who excel in their intellect.

Some titled Douluo helped their juniors gather a set of spirit metal for one-word or two-word battle armor, and then tried to collect contribution points to ask the Battle Armor Association for help in designing and manufacturing it.

Thus, the Soul King with the One-Word Battle Armor transformed into a Soul Emperor-level combatant, greatly increasing the speed at which he acquired contribution points and quickly paid off his debts.

At first, it was limited to some Soul Masters with close relationships, but it gradually spread. Title Douluo began to help some Soul Kings and Soul Emperors without backgrounds to obtain One-Word Battle Armor, and these Soul Kings and Soul Emperors who obtained One-Word Battle Armor also had to bear debts.

The tax rates are extremely high; according to Su Ming's understanding, even the more reasonable tax rates are as high as 100%.

There's no way around it; the investment is substantial. Obtaining a set of battle armor requires acquiring the corresponding spirit metal, and then designing and crafting it. Whether it's designing or crafting, the contribution points required are no less than, and by a factor of several, compared to acquiring the metal.

Furthermore, the battle armor produced is only a quasi-battle armor. The soul master still needs to integrate with and adapt to the battle armor, and guide their spirituality to replicate the core magic array carved on the battle armor.

With high investment and the possibility of the enemy being killed in battle, it's only natural to raise the tax rate; otherwise, it will be difficult to break even.

Su Ming stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

This is certainly a good thing for the advancement of the Soul Master world. Starting with Soul Kings, it can gradually spread to Soul Douluos and Title Douluos, allowing the snowball effect to grow as quickly as possible.

However, what he urgently needs now is to lure out the Abyss Emperor.

He looked towards the Body Sect.

Lei Zhen, his blood boiling from the fierce battle, had already reached 40% of the passage, slaughtering a group of abyssal creatures in a frenzy.

On his wrist, the Abyss Bracelet shone brightly, radiating a dazzling emerald green light.

Many Soul Masters on the Douluo Legion's side occasionally paid attention to the fierce man who charged into the depths of the Abyss Army. They discovered this scene, and a cry of surprise drew the attention of all the Soul Masters around them, who stared intently at Lei Zhen.

Lei Zhen was also surprised. He looked at his wrist and found that the bracelet had started to grow tendrils. The core branch of the bracelet began to sprout a second time, and the tendrils pierced his skin.

A surge of life force flowed into his body.

Lei Zhen raised an eyebrow and subconsciously glanced back at Su Ming outside the Gate of the Abyss.
