Chapter 165. Eliminate the Tang Family's Tyranny, and the World Belongs to the Spirit Hall.
The once crippled leg sprouted flesh, then continued to repair and grow. After prolonged immersion, the pale, withered body recovered, becoming vibrant and beautiful once again.
Of course, what surprised Lin Mengtong most was that her previously crippled spirit power had been restored, now fully operational at level ninety-seven.
Finally, her left leg, missing for over forty years, also grew back.
"I'm back," Lin Mengtong said, surveying herself.
"Congratulations." Hua Qiang said regretfully, "But there is one thing that is very regrettable. The lost age can't be made up. Forty years are a good time. If it were my sister, she would have had a chance to reach the Ultimate Douluo."
"Ultimate Douluo?" Qian Xunji chuckled and said, "You underestimate the fate of the child of destiny. With these forty years, Lin Mengtong can become a god. It is not a problem for her to snatch Tang Hao's position as the Lord of the Plane."
Lin Mengtong smiled and said, "Your Holiness, I think that from now on, Tang Hao will not be able to sit in that position."
Qian Xunji said, "Of course, if Tang Hao can still sit in that position, then I let you travel through time in vain."
Qian Xunji added in his heart: I traveled through time in vain.
Qian Xunji thought for a moment, then took out the rewarded immortal item and gave it to Lin Mengtong, saying, "This is Manjushage, also known as the Yellow Springs Flower. There's no age limit for this immortal item, and it will be of great benefit to you. Take some time to absorb it."
The moment she saw this immortal item, Lin Mengtong felt a throbbing in her spirit. Without refusing, she accepted it and said, "Thank you very much, my Holiness the Pope."
"It's okay. Since you serve me, I won't be stingy." Qian Xunji then said to Hua Qiang, "While ordinary immortal items will work for you, I think waiting for some special ones might be better."
"That's okay, I'm not in a hurry," Hua Qiang said.
After Qian Xunji left the secret room, Hua Qiang was about to leave when Lin Mengtong's voice came from behind her.
"Are you also a Titled Douluo recruited by His Holiness from the future of this era?" Lin Mengtong asked.
Hua Qiang turned and nodded.
"Can you share your experiences?" Lin Mengtong smiled, her smile pure and innocent, a gentle breeze that warmed everyone's heart.
It was hard to imagine the expression of someone who had been manipulated by the gods their entire life, imprisoned in a water dungeon for forty years, and nearly executed, upon being rescued.
"Alright." Hua Qiang retracted her steps and told Lin Mengtong about her experiences four thousand years later.
At the end of her sermon, Hua Qiang said, "My experiences were only slightly better than yours."
"The Spirit Hall seems like a very distant past. I only heard about it from hearsay. I never imagined I'd be able to return to this era." Lin Mengtong said, "It seems that the era of Sea God Tang San began here."
Lin Mengtong's face was calm, her eyes deep, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.
"By the way, I have something to say. We all come from the dark era of the future Sea God Tang San. How about we all share a slogan?" Hua Qiang said.
Lin Mengtong gazed at Hua Qiang and nodded.
"Eliminate the Tang family's tyranny," Hua Qiang said.
"The world belongs to the Spirit Hall," Lin Mengtong said.
Hua Qiang and Lin Mengtong clasped their hands and said, "We are colleagues now."
Qian Xunji went to the Spirit Hall's newly built Armament Hall. Lou Gao and his disciples had just finished constructing the laboratory there and were eager to begin experiments. Lou Gao had already produced a soul guide. Qian Xunji casually took one out and took a look at it, saying,
"The soul guide you made is so fine that it can't even be called a weapon, but a work of art."
"Of course," Lou Gao said. "Before I became a soul guide, I was a master craftsman."
"Yes, yes," Qianxunji said, "But Lougao, soul guides aren't our current focus. I need you to produce soul guides for long-distance communication and transmission."
After listening, Lougao said, "Your Holiness, this is different from what the outside world has said about you. In my opinion, you should focus more on developing soul guide weapons, stockpiling munitions, and preparing for a continental war."
Qianxunji shook his head and said, "Rather than starting a war lightly, I prefer a silent attack."
Lougao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll develop the communication soul guide."
Qianxunji wasn't worried about the technology leaking out. It's not that soul guides don't exist in this world, but without the theory behind them, even if you have more soul guides, you can't replicate them. Therefore, the theory must be strictly controlled, while the soul guides can be left alone.
The role of the communication soul guide is closely related to Qianxunji's future plan: to further control public opinion across the continent.
Of course, before that, there's a very cheap way to promote this control of mainland public opinion: newspapers!
Newspapers are easy to follow. Once the Spirit Hall launches a newspaper, all factions across the continent will follow suit. Therefore, Qian Xunji decided to wait until Lou Gao had a sufficient number of spirit instruments before launching one.
After all, to gain an advantage, one must establish an absolute advantage. If they don't launch one, then they'll completely suppress the other Spirit Hall factions.
Three years later, during the two years following the launch, the Douluo Continent was generally stable, but undercurrents were stirring.
After three years of preparation, the Spirit Hall had acquired a sufficient number of spirit instruments and had spread them across the continent.
Qian Xunji convened a meeting of the Spirit Hall elders, demonstrating the applications of spirit instruments and newspapers before the elders, and proposed establishing a Spirit Hall media outlet.
The meeting was unanimously approved, and with the resolution passed, the Spirit Hall officially launched the first Spirit Hall Daily across the continent, establishing a communication mechanism through various spirit instruments.
The inexpensive newspaper, carrying news and intelligence from across the continent, appealed to the upper, middle, and lower classes of the Douluo Continent. By purchasing a newspaper, they could stay informed of events thousands of miles away.
The existence of the transmission soul guide device not only allows for real-time broadcasting of news to various spirit halls, but also allows for the collection and dissemination of information on the same day.
