Douluo: Starting from Leading the Fierce Beasts to Transform into Demons

Chapter 56 The Old Emperor

"Father."

Xu Tianran sat in a wheelchair and looked quietly at the old emperor on the bed. It was sad to say that there were so few healthy people in the royal family of this generation.

Of course, Xu Tianran would not admit that it was he who killed all his brothers that caused all this. He was just an ordinary disabled prince.

"Tianran, you should know why I came to see you."

The old emperor stared at his heir. To be honest, he was very satisfied with the prince in front of him. He was as ruthless and meticulous as himself. The only bad thing was that he actually cooperated with those scumbags in the stinking ditch to gain power.

But it doesn't matter now. The entire Sun-Moon Empire is going to side with the soul beasts. Even if those evil soul masters want to plan something, they have to consider the soul beasts' ideas. They just need to show their own value.

"Is this what Mr. Kong did before?"

Xu Tianran showed confusion. Although he knew some things, some matters were still discussed privately between the old emperor and Mr. Kong, and he didn't even have the chance to interrupt and find out.

"That's right. Next, our Sun Moon Empire will turn to the soul beasts."

The old emperor observed Xu Tianran's expression. If his son showed disgust, he would better let Tian Zhen become the empress.

"Father, do you have any arrangements for me to do?"

Xu Tianran did not show any shock, he naturally knew what Tang San said at that time, which could basically be said to be the slow death of the Sun Moon Empire. How could Xu Tianran tolerate this when he wanted to unify the continent and become the only emperor? He could even cooperate with that bunch of trash from the Holy Spirit Church, and although the soul beasts were considered a betrayal of their race, it was not impossible.

"There is something that only I and Master Kong know. Next, I want to tell you that the Sun-Moon Empire's ship will be handed over to you to drive from now on. I hope you can lead the Sun-Moon Empire to survive, no matter what!"

The old emperor held Xu Tianran's hand tightly, staring at Xu Tianran with his bloodshot eyes.

"Yes, Father. I will lead the Sun-Moon Empire to greatness."

Xu Tianran looked at the old emperor sincerely. This was his ambition and his wish, and he would try his best to achieve it.

"Ahem, what I want to say is that the Sun-Moon Empire will no longer be a human empire. The soul beasts have special means to allow us to possess soul beast bloodlines."

Xu Tianran felt that the old emperor's grip on his hand increased significantly, and there was a look of unwillingness in the other's eyes.

If it weren't for the sudden change in the soul beasts, the Sea God might not have appeared. According to the plan, the Sun-Moon Empire might have unified the continent under his leadership, and there would be no humiliation and betrayal of the race now.
"Soul beast bloodline!"

Xu Tianran's eyes were filled with shock. He really didn't expect this. He was still thinking about how to join the soul beasts, but now he was going to be treated as a human being?
"That's right. All humans in the Sun and Moon Territory will have the blood of soul beasts, just like the Sea God ten thousand years ago."

There was mockery in his eyes. He wished he could devour the heart and flesh of the Sea God who demanded that they hand over the soul guide technology of the Sun-Moon Empire in the name of justice.

"However, with the help of Elder Kong, we have gained a chance for our Sun Moon Royal Family to choose the bloodline of any soul beast, instead of praying for luck and getting a better bloodline like those common people."

Xu Tianran swallowed subconsciously. He didn't expect that what his father and Master Kong were planning was so shocking.

"Then we..."

His face turned ugly, and Xu Tianran suddenly thought that he would be the next emperor.

"That's right. Humans will definitely not tolerate us. The situation on soul beasts is not clear at the moment, but don't expect a high status. But this is already the best result, at least for us." The old emperor showed a smug look in his eyes. In fact, it is not impossible to disband the royal family and surrender to the Douluo Three Kingdoms. The losses of civilians and major forces will not be serious.

But the royal family will definitely suffer the greatest losses, and they may even be dragged out and whipped because of hatred. How can that be allowed? This is the same reason why I wanted to destroy other empires together before. If I don't have a good life, you won't have an easy life either.

"But the burden on you will be very heavy. If humans win, you will have to call on everyone to fight to the death with the Douluo Three Kingdoms, and you may even have to face a god. If the soul beasts win, you will have to be cautious in front of the soul beasts and appease the entire Sun-Moon Empire to prevent it from collapsing."

The old emperor laughed, and his laugh was like an old fox.

"As for me, I might have died long ago. I might have been infamous for eternity, or famous for eternity. Anyway, I am very relaxed."

Xu Tianran looked at the old emperor speechlessly. Logically, he would not lose his composure like this, but when he thought about the things that would weigh on him in the future and looked at the smug look on his father's face, he really couldn't help it.

"Next, clean up the palace and leave only the direct descendants of the royal family. After obtaining the bloodline, you will inform the ministers of this matter."

"According to Elder Kong, the soul beasts are planning to convert the blood of all humans in the empire at once, turning them into some kind of demon race. When the time comes, the task of pacifying the people will be left to you. The reaction from humans will probably be huge, so you will be the one to deal with that as well."

The old emperor looked at Xu Tianran with a smile, then let go of his hand, closed his eyes and seemed to fall into a deep sleep suddenly.

"My son, I obey."

Xu Tianran felt his father's steady breathing and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. Although he felt helpless, it seemed that his father was going to hand over power to him.

Covering the old emperor with the quilt beside him, Xu Tianran pushed the wheelchair out. From now on, the Sun and Moon Empire would be his, and his lifelong dream would soon come true.

The old emperor opened his eyes only after Xu Tianran's figure disappeared. A trace of worry flashed in his slightly turbid eyes. Prince Xu Tianran only needed to deal with the many difficulties that would follow, but he, the emperor, had a lot of things to consider.

······
At this time, Brigitte was sitting on a white and soft cloud, and Kong Deming stood beside Brigitte like a follower.

With waves surging in his heart, Kong Deming was still a little confused. He saw Brigitte flying into the sky, then making some strange movements with her hands, and then a white cloud slowly formed in front of him.

The most important thing is that Brigitte just sat down like that, and then swung her legs on the cloud and flipped through the book that appeared out of thin air.

Kong Deming stuck to his heart and put aside the doubts in his mind.

As for why he wanted to follow Brigitte, it was because he was begging to be her subordinate, so naturally he had to take good care of the people sent by the other party, especially since Brigitte was from the Emerald Swan clan, which had almost no combat power, only slightly higher than the useless Ice Silkworm clan in the Far North. If he encountered those evil soul masters and that bunch of beasts causing trouble, it would be the end of him. The Sun-Moon Empire could not withstand being targeted by both sides at the same time.

"Your Sun-Moon Empire has a lot of filth and dirt."

Brigitte flipped through the formation information in her hand. After all, she was still a novice in formation and needed to learn more knowledge.

"It's a common problem among humans. I've been in seclusion for many years and don't know much about these things, otherwise I would have solved them long ago."

Kong Deming's face flushed red, and he thought that Brigitte was talking about some dark things that happened in Mingdu.

Brigitte shook her head slightly, she just felt sick.
