Peerless: The Evil Soul Master's Guide to Saving the World

"Princess Xingluo requests an audience!"

Accompanied by a voice.

Mingdu.

Inside the palace.

The ministers all turned their gazes toward him.

Their expressions varied, but all carried a hint of arrogance.

Princess Xingluo's mission to Sun and Moon is clearly aimed at humbly submitting to the enemy. After the recent Battle of Mingdu, the original continental alliance suffered heavy casualties, and their core member, Mu En, the strongest member of Shrek Academy, perished there. Now that Xingluo has recognized the current situation, it is perfectly normal for them to want to join forces with Sun and Moon or form an alliance.

However... this has never happened before in history.

The courtiers all straightened their backs without realizing it.

"Princess Xingluo greets His Highness the Crown Prince..."

After a long while, he walked through the crowd of officials with his head bowed, his expression unreadable, until he reached the front of the hall, intending to kneel in worship.

"I'm sorry, Princess Jiu Jiu, His Highness is not here..."

A female voice sounded.

After a long while, he paused and unconsciously looked up.

The highest position was completely empty.

Below the throne, a beautiful woman in palace attire stared at her, and it seemed that she was the one who spoke.

"I am His Highness's first secretary, Orange. His Highness has entrusted me with handling important matters in the palace for the time being. If Princess Jiu Jiu has something important to discuss with His Highness, she can wait for some time..."

Orange smiled softly.

This is no ordinary person!
After a long while, her beautiful eyes narrowed.

This bespectacled girl is deeply trusted by Xu Cheng. Even with a host of powerful generals in the Sun Moon Empire's court, she can still hold this position and temporarily take Xu Cheng's place, which shows how important she is to Xu Cheng...

"My matter requires an audience with His Highness the Crown Prince." Xu Jiujiu pursed her lips slightly, a complex emotion flashing through her mind.

If she had been bolder last time, would the outcome have been different?

Born into royalty and exposed to power from a young age, her ambition was not small either...

"Please..." Orange gestured.

He took a deep breath and slowly left.

With her departure.

above the hall.

The court officials resumed their deliberations.

Ju Zi stood silently below Xu Cheng, watching the scene quietly, occasionally jotting something down. In crucial moments, she could stand up for Xu Cheng, but such important matters of the court were not for her to decide. As a secretary, her job was simply to record the conclusions...

"Piloting artificial soul rings within the military?" Qingzhi, the leader of the Imperial Dragon Soul Guidance Corps, continued the previous question. "I think it's better to proceed slowly. After all, the actual pilot program won't begin for another half month. It wouldn't be too late to decide on the list of soul guidance corps for the pilot program then."

"We, the Fire Phoenix, don't care," Huo Qing said calmly.

“I think we should set the quota first. If Huanglong is afraid, then we can try it out in our Evil Monarch first,” Wang Yiheng suggested.

"..."

Xu Jiangnian kept his eyes closed and remained silent.

Orange watched as the big shots below argued fiercely.

He clicked his tongue in amazement.

She could naturally understand that it was all about the pilot project for artificial soul rings.

Xu Cheng has only hinted that the project will be piloted in the military. However, information about the so-called artificial soul rings is a true secret of Mingde Hall, tightly guarded, with very little useful information being revealed. Even these legion commanders are unaware of it...

So.

Xu Cheng's words have stirred up a storm in the military.

Xu Jiangnian appeared calm, but in reality, he had visited the Crown Prince's residence several times in the past few days. However, Xu Cheng was not present, so he had not been able to obtain any useful "insider information," and therefore remained silent for the time being.

Huo Qing didn't know.

Qingzhi had previously bet on the wrong horse by teaming up with the Fourth Prince, thus missing out on the opportunity to help the emperor rise to power. Although he had made some contributions recently, he was still ranked last among the four major beast soul guide groups.

Although Wang Yiheng followed Xu Cheng earlier, he still bears the mark of the old emperor.

In truth, he's only slightly better than Aokiji.

Therefore, the two of them were the most anxious. Qingzhi was unwilling to make a decision now because he wanted to test the waters first, to see what level this artificial soul ring was at, whether it had any side effects, and then consider whether to use his trump card to compete for it.

Wang Yiheng, on the other hand, was determined to take a gamble.

Once the number of pilot participants is determined, if this artificial soul ring is a good thing, then it's a win; if it's not a good thing... well, we'll accept it!
"I wonder when His Highness will come out." Orange bit her lip.

The absurd events of the past few days resurfaced in his mind, and he seemed slightly lost in thought.

……

"Both of the divinely bestowed soul rings have reached the level of 300,000 years?"

Tianmeng stared in disbelief.

“That’s right.” Xu Cheng nodded with a smile.

"Tsk tsk tsk, being able to condense the lifespan of a divinely bestowed soul ring to 300,000 years is quite terrifying..." Tianmeng exclaimed in amazement.

"Buzz!"

Fourteen soul rings rippled beneath Xu Cheng's feet.

Black, black, black, black, white, black, red (double pupils)

Red, black, black, black, black, black, red (Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion)
An atmosphere of terror suddenly arose.

Level 75 Soul Saint (previously a Level 5 divine reward).

In less than half a month.

Xu Cheng's gains were unimaginably substantial.

"Phew... Even without using my mecha trump card and the World of the Dead, my current strength is enough to take on a peak Soul Douluo one-on-one! Or even a Title Douluo of a higher rank!"

Xu Cheng looked excited.

As expected of a god-tier exam... no, I should say as expected of a self-exam, the rewards are all top-notch.

That's cool!

Just as he was considering his next step.

A voice came from afar.

“My lord, I have discovered a person of exceptional talent and wish to make him my successor. Please examine him.”

As soon as the words were spoken, a figure slowly arrived.

They knelt at the lowest step of the Temple of Destruction, seemingly awaiting his approval.

Xu Cheng looked around blankly, then pointed to himself.

???

After hesitating for a long time, he slowly spoke, "You...are you talking to me?"

"Exactly!"

The person below the steps said respectfully.

“But I am not the God of Destruction,” Xu Cheng said, frowning.

"Before leaving, our lord entrusted the Temple of Destruction to you and instructed us that you are the future lord, and we are all gods under the command of Destruction. Your command is His command..."

The latter remained respectful.

Xu Cheng was numb.

How much power this destruction has given him?!
They really have a big heart...

"Which of the Seven Deadly Sins are you?" Xu Cheng pondered for a moment before continuing to ask.

"I am the god of destruction."

"The God of Destruction wants to inherit the divine position? I approve, go." Xu Cheng waved his hand and said.

"Thank you, my lord!" the God of Destruction said joyfully.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Xu Cheng suddenly spoke, looking at the God of Destruction with a surprised expression.

If he remembered correctly, the most recent person to succeed as the God of Destruction during this period in the original story... wasn't his name Zhou Weiqing?!

He was known as the biggest traitor under Destroyer's command, a guy who switched sides at a crucial moment and affected the entire battle.

His impression of Zhou Weiqing wasn't very good... (End of Chapter)
