The events that occurred that night inside the Heavenly Soul Empire's imperial palace hall were not leaked to the outside.
It was not that Xu Zihuang wanted to conceal anything, but rather that the timing was not yet ripe.
Under the push from Wei Na and the Body Sect, although the Heavenly Soul Empire was currently under the control of the Sun Moon Empire, the people within the Heavenly Soul Empire would inevitably harbor strong feelings of rejection toward the Sun Moon Empire. It would still take some time to eliminate these voices. Only when the right opportunity came to publicly reveal the relationship between him and Wei Na would the best effect be achieved.
This was also Wei Na's own wish.
However, Wei Na's expectations were destined to fall through.
The current Xu Zihuang had already become a true deity, transcending the rules of the Douluo plane. He and the ordinary human Wei Na couldn't conceive offspring. Unless Wei Na could also achieve the position of a deity in the future.
During this night, Wei Na personally experienced this even more deeply.
The silver moon rose in the west and set in the east. Judging by the color of the sky, dawn would arrive in about half an hour.
Xu Zihuang leaned back on the gilded, ornately carved throne inside the grand hall, gazing through the wide and majestic main doors at the distant night sky. Wei Na had put on her luxurious palace dress again and was nestled against Xu Zihuang's chest. Her red lips were slightly parted, breathing out a fragrant scent, and her misty eyes had yet to regain their clarity for a long time.
The Silver Moon Mermaid Princess Li Jing was a ten-thousand-year soul beast with dual spirit and ice attributes. In addition to obtaining a ten-thousand-year seventh soul ring from her, Wei Na had also received an extremely precious head soul bone.
Earlier, the stimulated Wei Na had unintentionally activated the ability of this head soul bone. She discovered that the bones and blood inside Xu Zihuang's body had all transformed into a divine golden color.
And it wasn't just the bones and blood, even…
Thinking of this, Wei Na subconsciously raised her head to look at Xu Zihuang, feeling a wave of heat rush to her cheeks.
Sensing Wei Na's gaze, Xu Zihuang lowered his head to meet her eyes.
Wei Na's face flushed like cherry blossoms, and the shyness in her heart grew even stronger. She shyly nuzzled against Xu Zihuang's chest a few times. She, who had always appeared dignified and elegant in front of outsiders, rarely showed this kind of young maiden's demeanor.
This stemmed from the change in her identity, especially when facing the man who had brought about that change.
Xu Zihuang smiled faintly. His hands naturally brushed through Wei Na's smooth hair and then rested on her exposed, fragrant shoulders.
"Wei Na, you also possess the rare dual martial souls. With your talent, you may not be able to touch that level in the future."
"A deity? Can I?" Wei Na's emotions calmed down slightly. She widened her beautiful eyes and met Xu Zihuang's gaze once more. The position of a deity was far too distant for her.
If not for Xu Zihuang's existence, it would probably have been difficult for any deities to appear in their era.
Xu Zihuang said with a smile on his face, "Don't underestimate yourself. Back then, the vast majority of the first-generation Shrek Seven Monsters had talent inferior to yours, yet they still achieved the rank of second-level deities in the end. In the future, I will search the continent for other deities' inheritances for you all. Of course, even if you fail in the process of inheriting a divine position, I can bring you into the Divine Realm."
Wei Na pondered for a long time. A clear, elegant, and sweet smile bloomed on her pretty face, and her gaze became resolute.
"I am willing to try."
"Let me take you back to rest first. The surrender document from the Dou Ling Empire should arrive soon. Now only the Star Luo Empire remains. The conflicts across the continent can be completely ended within these two days." Xu Zihuang stood up, lifted Wei Na in his arms, and with a flash of his figure, disappeared from the hall.
His abilities were inherently related to time and space. Under the coverage of his divine sense, almost every corner of the entire continent was under his surveillance.
The Dou Ling Empire's emperor had gathered his ministers inside the imperial palace to discuss matters and had helplessly made the decision to surrender not long ago. How could mere mortals like them contend against the might of a deity?
The situation in the Star Luo Empire was not much better than in the Dou Ling Empire. Although the Star Luo Empire, as the strongest among the original three great empires of the Douluo Continent, had recognized the facts before them, they still could not completely let go of their dignity.
Just as Xu Zihuang had said, the Dou Ling Empire's envoys arrived at the Heavenly Soul Empire's imperial palace at dawn to express their submission to the Sun Moon Empire.
Represented by the Dou Ling Empire's imperial princess Xue Lingxun, accompanied by the Heavenly Sun Douluo and several titled Douluo from the Dou Ling Empire.
Since the Dou Ling Empire would no longer exist from now on, there was naturally no need to discuss the so-called issue of imperial succession. During last night's discussion, Xue Lingxun had made Xu Sanshi revert to his original surname and chose to represent the Dou Ling Empire herself in bearing this humiliation.
As a mother, no matter what her personality was like, she would not be willing to drag her own child into this at such a time.
Xu Zihuang received Xue Lingxun and the others in the Heavenly Soul Empire's imperial palace hall and accepted the Dou Ling Empire's surrender. He also immediately conferred the title of Duke upon the Dou Ling Empire's emperor, with the prerequisite that the entire former Dou Ling Empire imperial family must relocate to the vicinity of Mingdu.
Kong Deming would lead the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Legion and part of the Sun Moon Empire's army to take over the Dou Ling Empire's capital, Lingdou City, while purging those ministers and major soul master families within the Dou Ling Empire who were unwilling to submit.
Although Xu Zihuang did not want to create excessive slaughter, he would not leave these people as future threats either.
In the process of unifying the continent, it was inevitable that his hands would be stained with blood. Such so-called mercy was meaningless and would only create more trouble.
After finishing these matters, Xu Zihuang returned to the deep sleeping quarters within the Heavenly Soul Empire's imperial palace.
Inside the elegant yet luxurious room, Xu Xiyan and Xu Ningqing were still sound asleep. Ye Guyi, Wang Qiu'er, Ning Tian, and Ju Zi were sitting around the table, and they all turned their gazes toward the doorway at the same time.
They saw Xu Zihuang slowly materialize from the void.
"Ning Tian, you, Ningqing, and Xiyan will stay here. Lingyi, Qiu'er, Ju Zi, you three will come with me to Star Luo City to annihilate Star Luo."
...
Star Luo City, imperial palace.
After a night of discussion, exhaustion was evident on the faces of the civil and military officials, not only physical exhaustion, but mental as well.
Star Luo Empire Emperor Xu Jiawei sat at the head position, his eyes vacant and his gaze dim. One could imagine how immense the pressure he had endured during this period had been.
Standing at the head of the civil and military officials was none other than the White Tiger Duke, Dai Hao. Below him in the first seat was Xu Jiujiu, dressed in military attire.
Xu Jiujiu's face was pale as she clenched her fists tightly. At this moment, she felt utterly powerless. Unlike the civil and military officials of the Star Luo Empire, she and the White Tiger Duke Dai Hao had personally witnessed the terrifying power controlled by a deity. They felt even greater despair.
"Sigh—" Xu Jiawei let out a long sigh and closed his eyes in pain. In truth, they all knew that their Star Luo Empire no longer had even a trace of hope.
"Since ascending the throne, I have always considered myself diligent and have never been negligent in handling state affairs. Yet fate toys with us, and we are powerless to change the situation any longer. With the appearance of a deity and the advanced soul guidance technology of the Sun Moon Empire, it truly is Heaven that wishes to destroy our Star Luo Empire."
"Your Majesty!" The civil and military officials all bowed together, their voices clearly trembling.
Xu Jiawei waved his hand and was about to continue speaking when four fully armed soul engineer legions suddenly appeared inside the hall without any warning.
They were precisely the Sun Moon Empire's Imperial Dragon Soul Engineer Legion, Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer Legion, Terrorclaw Soul Engineer Legion, and the newly formed Devil Whale Soul Engineer Legion.
Xu Zihuang stood in front of the four soul engineer legions with Ye Guyi, Wang Qiu'er, and Ju Zi. With a calm expression, he said, "Since you cannot make the choice, I will help you make it. Those willing to submit may live; those who remain obstinate shall be killed without mercy."
