Chapter 181 You're not even good enough to shine the Trail Blazers' shoes.
"Hahaha! Emperor Xueye is such a coward!"
"No wonder the mighty Heaven Dou Empire collapsed so easily. Their Heaven Dou royal family, just like their martial spirit, is incredibly weak!"
"They actually want to abdicate the throne to Lord Pioneer? Ha! Do you think Lord Pioneer even cares?"
"I doubt the Trail Blazers would even bother to glance at him!"
"Right now, the Heaven Dou Royal Family can only control a small portion of Heaven Dou City!"
"When the people of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire jointly established a new empire and invited Little Gray Hair to be the emperor, she didn't even plan to go!"
"Back then, they possessed most of the territory. The pioneers didn't even care about such lands, so why would they care about the mere Heavenly Dou Royal Family?"
"A lousy person is a lousy person! Emperor Xueye is a complete waste, look at Lord Caesar!"
"No matter how strong the Pioneer is, he is still just a subject before Crydella!"
"Didn't you guys hear it? The Pioneers and Xilian want Krydera to hand over the Fire Seed and act according to their wishes, and Caesar was so angry he laughed!"
"What does this mean? It's like someone who has just ascended the throne as emperor, and suddenly someone comes along demanding that you hand over the imperial seal and work for him. Which emperor could tolerate that?"
"If it weren't for the special identities of the Pioneers and Xilian, and the fact that Kerudela's gaze had already turned to the heavens."
Little Grey and Xilian had long since been chopped into mincemeat by Caesar and thrown into the sea to feed the fish!
"And look at Emperor Xueye, tsk tsk tsk—"
"You haven't even met the pioneers once, yet you're going to hand over the throne? How can you face the ancestors of the Heavenly Dou royal family?"
"The royal family has no backbone. No wonder that after Emperor Xueye announced his abdication, most of the forces and families that were originally loyal to the Tiandou royal family left overnight!"
"Selling land for personal gain, no matter where you are, will chill the hearts of your subordinates to the bone!"
Deep within the imperial palace of Tiandou City, even the sound of the wind could be heard clearly in the spacious hall.
Emperor Xueye felt weak all over and slumped onto the cold, icy dragon throne, his limbs trembling uncontrollably.
In just a short while, his already white hair became even whiter, the strands dry and brittle, constantly falling from his head and landing on the cold ground.
He aged visibly, and his eyes were filled with despair and death.
He originally had a plan he was all set to.
They thought that by voluntarily abdicating the throne to the pioneers from outer space, they could earn a reputation for being wise and shrewd.
It can also attract various forces to join the Heavenly Dou Empire, thus consolidating its final position.
In his narrow-minded view, the future Tiandou Empire would eventually fall into the hands of the pioneers.
Stepping down early is like securing a powerful backer in advance, leaving a way out for yourself and your family.
But he never expected that his cleverness would completely destroy the foundation of the Heavenly Dou Royal Family's millennia-old heritage.
The Heavenly Dou Royal Family has stood on the continent for tens of thousands of years, secretly accumulating countless loyal subordinates, established families, and elite soul masters.
However, once the abdication decree was issued, most of these forces dissipated overnight, and even the high-level soul masters who were stationed in the imperial city left without saying goodbye.
The empty hall was deathly silent; not even a single eunuch or maid could be seen.
The Emperor was restless on the snowy night, his heart pounding, feeling as if an assassin would rush in and take his life at any moment.
He frantically draped all sorts of defensive soul tools over his body, their light flashing, yet they offered him no sense of security whatsoever.
Endless regret gnawed at his heart like a venomous snake, and after the pain subsided, it transformed into boundless hatred.
He stared intently at the gray sky outside the hall, roaring and cursing wildly in his heart.
Why don't these extraterrestrials just stay in their own world?
Why must you barge into Douluo Continent and break all the balance and rules here!
They destroyed his imperial throne, destroyed the Heavenly Dou Empire, and destroyed all his hopes!
The image of Sai Fei'er suddenly popped into his mind.
With its lively cat ears and gently swaying tail, it looks adorable and playful.
Emperor Xueye's anger surged to the top of his head, and he clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the armrest of the dragon throne.
With a "crack," a large gash appeared in the sturdy handrail.
In his past understanding, women with animal ears and tails were the most sought-after playthings at auctions.
It was a tool for the aristocracy to amuse themselves and manipulate at will.
Yet this very "plaything" that he looked down upon stole the Heavenly Dou Empire's national treasure—the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.
That is a priceless treasure closely related to the sea god!
He was just one step away from taking this treasure to Seagod Island and vying for the opportunity to become a god!
The hatred in his heart almost burst out of his chest; he wished he could tear Sai Feier to pieces and grind her bones to dust.
But he could only grit his teeth and not dare to utter a single word of Sai Fei'er's name.
Because Aglaia has already descended upon this world.
That romantic demigod's golden silk divine power was incredibly strong, capable of covering the entire Ohema and easily enveloping the entire Douluo Continent.
Once Aglaia discovers his murderous intent and malice towards Saifeier, he will be beheaded and killed without a trace.
...
Inside the Star Luo Empire's imperial palace, the lights were bright, and the atmosphere was majestic.
Emperor Xingluo stood by the window, taking in the farce unfolding in the Heavenly Dou Empire, and immediately threw his head back and burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha... I knew a useless royal family that survived by arranging marriages and currying favor with various forces would end up like this!!"
The Star Luo Empire has always upheld the principle of strength above all else, and is ruthless and merciless. The emperor is the strongest military force in the country.
If it weren't for the Spirit Hall's years of checks and balances and mediation, the Star Luo Empire would have long ago marched north and swallowed up the Heaven Dou Empire completely.
To become the sole hegemonic empire in the entire Douluo Continent.
At this moment, as he looked at Cerrudra in the sky, his admiration and longing grew even stronger.
Caesar's strength, domineering nature, and uncompromising attitude gave him a sense of exhilaration and satisfaction.
In a moment of impulsiveness, the Star Luo Emperor couldn't wait to write an edict and extend an invitation to the people from beyond the heavens.
Let Little Gray Hair and his group come to the Star Luo Empire to serve as kings and enjoy the highest honors.
But reason returned instantly, and he forcefully suppressed this foolish thought.
Cerberus was so powerful because she herself possessed immense strength, commanded numerous powerful subordinates, and could even personally defeat Titan gods.
His Star Luo Empire doesn't even have a single titled Douluo who is worthy of mention.
What can we use to fight against a powerful enemy?
What right does he have to invite a powerful being from outer space like Little Gray Hair to condescend to be his subject?
Let alone recruit them, the Star Luo Empire isn't even worthy of shining shoes for Little Gray Hair and his ilk.
But he possessed his own imperial pride and would never be as obsequious and servile as Emperor Xueye.
He is the emperor of Xingluo. Even if his strength is inferior to that of the extraterrestrial powerhouses, he cannot lose the dignity of the native emperor of Douluo Continent.
We must never allow those extraterrestrials to look down on the people of Douluo Continent.
With this thought in mind, the Star Luo Emperor's eyes instantly turned fierce and decisive.
So he took action.
He intends to sweep away all the scattered and fragmented forces on the continent with swift and decisive action and iron-fisted power.
He wanted to personally build an iron-blooded legion that was loyal only to Xingluo and only to the Douluo homeland.
Never be a lapdog that wags its tail at the sight of an extraterrestrial powerhouse.
He wanted everyone to know that the people of Douluo Continent possess an indomitable spirit.
He will create one miracle after another, waiting for the heavens to reveal his achievements to the world.
Win the supreme glory that belongs to him, the Star Luo Emperor!
