Douluo: Rock King, the King of the World

Chapter 48 Morax's Dream
"Emperor, the war in the world has finally ended. On the continent of Teyvat, the seven demons assigned by heaven have all been assigned their respective positions. There are no other demons causing chaos on the land of Liyue. I hope that from now on, all people in the world can enjoy peace and prosperity forever."

At the top of Jueyun, a figure stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the boundless sea of ​​clouds in the distance. The breeze from the mountains blew up the hem of his clothes embroidered with ancient square patterns, as well as his long braids.

Behind the man stood a group of people dressed differently, including both men and women, looking at him with respect and emotion in their eyes.

"Thinking back, the first time I came to this Jueyunjian was five hundred years ago. It was also here that I first saw the moon-cutting and sun-building, the water-manipulating and mountain-building, the clouds-retaining and wind-borrowing, and the sky-moving and heaven-guiding."

The man spoke softly, as if he was speaking softly, or as if he was talking to himself. Everyone fell silent.

They were three-eyed and five-manifested immortals who originally came from all over the world, gathered in the mountains and lived freely. Later, the war between the demons and gods began, and all the creatures in the world were devastated, leaving no place to live. Some of them had fought with the Emperor, but in the end they all submitted to the Rock King Emperor, followed the Emperor's rock spear, cleansed the nine states, and finally stabilized the world.

But now the world is stable and peaceful; looking back, many of my comrades-in-arms back then are no longer visible.

Thinking back to the first time when Jueyun got together, how many brothers and sisters they had. At that time, the Dust Demon God gently stroked the Yaoqin, the Stove Demon God set up the grill and roasted the delicacies from the monsters, the immortals sang and danced, and even the Emperor would occasionally smile.
But all this will never come back.

In front of them, the Emperor would not show too much sadness, and never shed tears. But everyone knew that the emotions and sadness in the Emperor's heart were deeper than anyone else.
"Seeing the current situation, the world is peaceful and the four seas are prosperous. She should be very happy in the end. We don't need to be sad for them. Their souls have turned into heroic spirits and live forever in the mountains and rivers of Liyue."

The beautiful woman with red eyes sighed and said.

"That's right. Although we lost many brothers, we have killed so many enemies, so we have made up for it! Looking at the entire continent of Teyvat, only our Liyue has no remnants of followers of other demon gods. This is the true unification of the country and the eternal security of the country! Look at Xumi, there is still a barrier between the rainforest and the desert; look at Inazuma, there is still the isolated Umi Island that believes in foreign gods. When it comes to great unification, who can compare with our Liyue?"

True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang clenched his teeth, raised his cheeks to prevent the tears from flowing, and said in an extremely heroic manner.

The faces of the other immortals also showed pride. In the entire Demon God War, the number of demon gods who died on the land of Liyue was undoubtedly the highest. Unlike other places, there are still various hidden dangers. In fact, there are many ethnic groups in the country, with different beliefs and hatred for each other.

More important than the same writing system and the same wheel gauge is the unity of people's hearts. At least on the land of Liyue, there will be no other voices. There is truly no difference in the gods in the ancestral temples, and the same clothes and etiquette! Thinking about it now, it feels like a dream. These three-eyed and five-manifested immortals from all over the world have entered the human world and taken over Guiliyuan in just a few hundred years, and they have achieved what other countries cannot do in ten thousand years. Hundreds of thousands of immortals have conquered hundreds of millions of humans in the east of Teyvat.

All this is because of just one person.

"Emperor, the war is over. Do you have anything to say to the gods who once roamed this land?"

Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun looked at the figure standing on the cliff for a long time in silence, holding the history book and wolf-hair brush in his white hands, and asked softly.

After a long time, Zhongli walked to a stone table, poured himself a glass of wine, then walked back to the edge of the cliff, took a sip, and then poured it all over the cliff and into the vast sea of ​​clouds, as if paying tribute to an era.

"I want to pay tribute to my mortal enemies. Baqiu, Osel, Chi, Miaoyinnu, Tianwangnu, and Ruota Dragon King. They are all heroes. It is also they who made me what I am."

"It was they who forced me to cleanse this world and create the present Jin Ou Li Yue. I hate them, but I also respect them. Unfortunately, they are all dead."

It was difficult for a demon god to die completely. However, a demon god who was permanently suppressed was no different from death. In the endless darkness, what awaited them was only complete extinction.

"I am lonely. I will not wish them peace in Lord Guyun. I can only wish them to be my enemy again in the next life!"

After saying this, Emperor Yan Wang drank the last bit of the remaining wine in one gulp.

————————————————————————————Zhongli opened his eyes on the bed. An inexplicable emotion flashed in his amber eyes.

Why did I dream about that time again? The Demon God War. It has been thousands of years since then. When the Demon God War ended, the emotion I felt at the top of Jueyun seemed to still ring in my ears.

"Will you be my enemy again in the next life?"

Zhongli smiled and shook his head, got up from the bed, tidied himself up, and left the palace to go to the Tiandou Great Soul Arena. Today was the official opening day of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition; as a prince of the Tiandou Empire, although he did not personally participate in this competition, he still needed to attend the opening ceremony of the Tiandou Empire Division today.

In this competition, the team from the Tiandou Royal Soul Master Second Academy nominally competed as the "Tiandou Team 3" because the Tiandou Royal Soul Master Academy originally had two teams, one of which was a seeded team and was directly sent to the finals.

There are three seed teams on the continent: one is from the Spirit Hall, one is from the Heaven Dou Empire, and the other one is naturally the team representing the royal family of the Star Luo Empire.

As the most grand soul master competition in the soul master world, it attracts not only the attention of soul masters, but also everyone in Tiandou City, from the royal family, nobles to common people, regards this competition as the grandest festival.

As the main competition venue of the Tiandou Division, the Tiandou Grand Fighting Soul Arena has stopped all fighting soul competitions since a month ago and carried out a comprehensive internal renovation, integrating the various sub-arenas and the main fighting soul center into a large-scale competition venue. After the renovation, in addition to the VIP area reserved on the north side, this venue can accommodate 80,000 spectators to watch the game at the same time. Although ticket sales have brought considerable income, the investment in the Grand Fighting Soul Arena is also quite huge.

In the following days, all the Tiandou regional qualifiers will be held here. In the early morning, before the sun rose, the renovated Tiandou Grand Soul Arena had already welcomed many spectators. They came so early not to enter the venue in advance, because each ticket has a designated seat number. Their purpose is to see the participating young soul masters up close on the opening day, including many young girls.

There are not many soul masters in the whole continent, no more than six figures. And the students who can represent the advanced soul master academy to participate in the competition are the best among them. In addition, with the age limit of 25, they have undoubtedly become the ideal objects in the hearts of girls. If you can marry a powerful soul master, it is undoubtedly a good thing to gain both fame and fortune.

Even the nobles who had purchased tickets to the VIP area gathered outside. The nobles never tire of recruiting soul masters. The Continental High-level Soul Master Academy Elite Competition itself is a cradle of talent. Not to mention students who can achieve certain results, even students who just participate in the competition are the objects of competition for the nobles and families.

"Royal brother, you are here early."

After Zhongli greeted him, "Xue Qinghe" stood up, waved his hand, and said with a smile. Ning Fengzhi also smiled and nodded. Emperor Xue Ye, who was sitting in the main seat, was even more smiling, and his eyes looking at this "darling son" were full of admiration.

After Zhongli sat down, Qian Renxue looked at him and asked, "Royal brother. Which team do you think is more promising in this competition? I wonder if a dark horse can emerge from our Heaven Dou Empire this year to challenge the 'golden generation' of the Spirit Hall."

"It's difficult, difficult!"

Before Zhongli answered, Ning Fengzhi shook his fan and sighed softly.

"You don't know. The Spirit Hall's golden generation is by no means a false reputation. On the contrary, it is underestimated by the world. I just found out recently that this golden generation has a hidden spirit fusion skill! In this competition, we can see the emergence of at least two spirit fusion skills."

Hearing this, Bishop Sarath of the Spirit Hall did not say anything, but a hint of pride emerged on his face.

"What's more, I've heard that there's a freak hidden in the Spirit Hall this time."

Ning Fengzhi's voice suddenly became quieter, and a hint of real solemnity flashed in his eyes.
