Everyone in the Chat Group looked at the Chat Group right now, laughing so hard they couldn't even breathe.
Only Gu Yue was truly heartbroken right now!
Too heartbroken.
Why did it turn out like this?
Clearly I am the Silver Dragon King of Douluo 3, I slept for so long, all my injuries healed, yet in the end, I became the most useless Dragon.
And I'm being suppressed so miserably by the Dragons of Douluo 1 and Douluo 2. What on earth did I do wrong!
Na'er remained silent on the side, gently patting Gu Yue's shoulder to comfort her.
What did you do wrong?
Didn't Brother Su Yan talk about it all last time while eating melons?
[Yu Rakshasa 2: No! No!!]
[Dugu Yan: Rakshasa Little Sister, what is wrong with you again?]
[Yu Rakshasa 2: I am suffering too, I regret it. Just the night before yesterday, I acknowledged a little sister for Level 1 Soul Power. Why is the reward being obtained so easily now?!]
[Yu Rakshasa 2: Detestable, too detestable! When will I, Jade Rakshasa, ever be able to stand up again!]
[Group Member No. 9: We really aren't lying to you this time. You truly have no chance to stand up anymore. No matter how hard you try or how you rank, you can only ever be a little sister.]
[Qian Yuhan (Dou 2): Spineless fellow, it's too late to regret now. Just for a mere First-Class Divine Power, you accepted the identity of a little sister. Don't say you're from Douluo World 2 in the future.]
[Group Member No. 9: Ahem!]
[Ning Rongrong: What our General No. 9 means is, is she talking about her and not you?]
...
With the Soul Master Tournament concluded, the events that transpired in Star Luo City quickly spread across the continent.
Imperial Palace Main Hall.
Xu Jiawei sat above and asked, "Everyone, what are your thoughts on the establishment of Spirit City next?"
Hearing this, the civil and military ministers below all wore strange expressions, unable to help complaining inwardly:
Your Majesty, didn't you surrender on the spot?
Now you're still asking for our views. How could we dare have any views?
You've already surrendered on behalf of the Star Crown Sect; are our views still important?
Well, you can't put it that way either. At least since the Soul Master Tournament took place in Star Luo City, the Spirit MasterClans and Sects of the Star Luo Empire definitely wouldn't dare to have any objections.
Su Yan's strength and the strength of Spirit Hall's two teams were witnessed by all of them firsthand.
Xu Jiawei waited for a long time. Seeing that not a single person in the main hall spoke, he said directly:
"In that case, from now on, our Star Luo Empire will unconditionally support Spirit Hall in every aspect."
"If they want people, we'll give people; if they want money, we'll give money. Furthermore, we will sincerely obey all instructions from Spirit Hall, and we will never act compliant on the surface while defying them in secret. Anyone who disobeys will not be spared!"
Hearing this, the ministers replied in unison:
"Everything is up to Your Majesty to decide, we have no objections."
Xu Jiawei nodded: "In that case, let's start preparing. Next, prepare generous gifts and let the envoy delegation represent the Star Luo Empire in heading to Shrek City."
"At the same time, notify all the Clans and Sect forces within the borders of our Star Luo Empire about this matter, but do not force them to do anything. Let them decide for themselves how to choose in the end."
...
The first to take action was the Star Luo Empire side. Afterwards, as the academy forces of various nations returned, the news was also transmitted back.
All parties across the continent began to take action.
Sun-Moon Empire.
The aging emperor leaned weakly against the dragon throne. After listening to Jing Hongchen's detailed account, a trace of ripples flashed through his murky eyes.
The entire main hall was dead silent.
None of the Sun Moon Imperial Family members, the imperial court ministers, or the people from the Hall of Enshrinement spoke up.
Compared to the Heavenly Soul Empire and Star Luo Empire, who had seen Su Yan with their own eyes and understood Su Yan's strength, the Sun-Moon Empire side did not have one hundred percent certainty about this.
Coupled with the fact that the Sun-Moon Empire's power was formidable and it already had the momentum to unify the continent, it was somewhat hard for them to accept the sudden appearance of a God.
The aging emperor remained silent for a long time before asking, "Hall Master Jing Hongchen, did your Youth Soul Master Tournament team take fifth place this time?"
"I heard that that lass Tianzhen went with you as well?"
Jing Hongchen replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. Being able to take fifth place this time was also thanks to Princess Tianzhen; otherwise, the outcome of the battle against Shrek Academy would have been hard to say."
"Mhm."
The aging emperor responded with a hum and asked again, "Then in those two teams from Spirit Hall, did their ages really meet the tournament standards?"
Everyone in the main hall cast their gazes onto Jing Hongchen at this moment.
Jing Hongchen said with a serious expression:
"Replying to Your Majesty, their ages all meet the criteria. Those Geniuses were all personally nurtured by Lord Su Yan."
"How can you be certain?"
The aging emperor asked softly.
Jing Hongchen explained:
"All participating contestants were checked and confirmed through their bone structure and meridians, and my granddaughter, Meng Hongchen, is one of them."
"A year and a half ago, she accidentally met Lord Su Yan, and has since followed by his side to cultivate. Now she is already a Level 79 Soul Saint, and all seven of her Spirit Rings are above ten thousand years. She will definitely achieve a breakthrough to Titled Douluo before the age of twenty."
"Being able to win against Shrek in this Soul Master Tournament was precisely because Princess Tianzhen received guidance from Lord Su Yan, acquiring a powerful Soul Skill."
"In addition, Vina from the Heavenly Soul Empire and Xu Jiujiu from the Star Luo Empire also possessed powerful Spirit Abilities to enter the top four because they received guidance from Lord Su Yan."
Hearing Jing Hongchen's words, Everyone's expressions also grew solemn as they spoke one after another:
"Hall Master Jing Hongchen, although I cannot be sure whether the information you brought back is accurate, do you think a Level 99Limit Douluo under the age of twenty is possible?"
"And your granddaughter, even if she really can achieve a breakthrough to a Level 79 Soul Saint, how could all of her Spirit Rings become above ten thousand years?"
"The rumored Su Yan, if he truly is an existence even more powerful than Sea GodTang San, why would he stay in the Lower Realm, and why would he need various nations to participate just to fight a Holy Spirit Cult?"
"Don't you think this whole series of events completely defies common sense?"
Xu Tianran also asked at this moment:
"Hall Master Jing Hongchen, I heard that while you were at the tournament grounds, in front of tens of thousands of people, you directly announced that Mingde Hall is willing to join Spirit Hall and unconditionally obey their commands?"
"Your Majesty."
Jing Hongchen hurriedly bowed to the aging emperor and shouted: "Your minister did this entirely for our Sun-Moon Empire."
"Lord Su Yan's strength far exceeds our imagination. Shrek, the Heavenly Soul Empire, the Body Sect, the Star Luo Empire, and the Star Crown Sect have all stated their positions."
"If our Sun-Moon Empire doesn't make a statement, I'm afraid we will become the target of public criticism."
Xu Tianran shouted angrily: "Jing Hongchen, do you know what you are saying?"
"Joining a Spirit Hall that has not yet been established proves that we must submit to them. Can you represent Mingde Hall?"
"Can you represent the Sun-Moon Empire?"
Everyone also spoke up one after another: "Hall Master Jing Hongchen, could it be that you were threatened at that time?"
"And for the sake of your own life, you announced on the spot that Mingde Hall joins Spirit Hall?"
"You completely let down Your Majesty's heavy trust!"
"Ahem!"
The aging emperor coughed twice, and the scene instantly quieted down.
Jing Hongchen said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, every word your minister said is true. How would your minister dare to talk nonsense about such matters?"
"Princess Tianzhen is right now just like Meng Hongchen, staying by Lord Su Yan's side. If Your Majesty does not believe it, you can easily send people to verify it."
The aging emperor said softly: "These matters have already spread across the entire continent, and Tianzhen has also sent a letter to me."
"From now on, regarding matters concerning that God adult in the Sun-Moon Empire, Hall Master Jing Hongchen shall have sole and full authority to make decisions!"
Hearing the aging emperor's words, Everyone's expressions instantly turned shocked as they shouted:
"Your Majesty, this must not be!"
"If we follow Jing Hongchen's intentions, what difference is there between our Sun-Moon Empire and surrendering to Spirit Hall?"
"The Star Luo and Heavenly Soul Empires are weak and have been powerless to resist our Sun-Moon Empire all these years. Their willingness to surrender is merely wanting to borrow the other party's power to deal with our Sun-Moon Empire. How can we be the same as them?"
"That's right, Your Majesty. Today, our Sun-Moon Empire possesses formidable strength and already has the qualifications to unify the continent. How can we obey the instructions of whatever Spirit Hall they have at a time like this?"
Jing Hongchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Tianzhen already wrote a letter to you, why didn't you say so earlier?
I really have to hand it to you, you sly old fox!
