Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

The Last Three Positions in Chapter 271
If some people previously held onto wishful thinking, believing that the soul beasts had only temporarily disappeared.

After Di Tian's announcement, the last remaining hope in everyone's hearts was completely shattered.

In fact, from the very beginning, Xuanzi and the others had intended to prevent Ditian from making any shocking remarks.

However, the overwhelming difference in strength and the millions of ordinary people below made them dare not take action, and they could only watch helplessly as Di Tian handed down the death sentence to all the Soul Masters.

At this moment, even Xuanzi could imagine what kind of chaos the world would descend into after today, with all sorts of demons, monsters, and even oxen, horses, snakes, and gods running out.

While everyone else was frowning in distress, Shattered Star Douluo, with a dark expression, was about to resign.

"I will return to report to the Emperor now. Please make yourselves at home!"

After saying that, he flew towards the Star Luo Imperial Palace without looking back, and the other titled Douluo from the Star Luo Offering Hall also hurriedly followed.

Within two minutes, the sounds of porcelain being smashed and Xu Jiawei cursing loudly echoed from the palace.

Clearly, the Star Luo Emperor, whose glory lasted only a few days, has once again broken down.

Suddenly, an aged-looking titled Douluo seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but chuckle, then realized that this was not the right time or place to laugh.

He quickly stopped smiling and, imitating the way Shattered Star Douluo left this place of trouble.

"Pfft...cough cough, I'm going back to report now. If you need anything from me, just send someone to let me know."

There's no way around it, it's really kind of funny.

Xu Jiawei must have committed some terrible sin in his past life, because all the major events of the last two years have happened in Xingluo City.

If it were him, he'd probably go check his ancestral graves to see if they were emitting black smoke.

Immediately afterwards, the titled Douluo from the other forces also dispersed, leaving only the Shrek Seven Devils speechless.

"Let's go and have a good discussion about how to deal with this unprecedented crisis."

At the same time, Lin Po looked at Di Tian with a smile, very satisfied with what he had just done.

And he even said "thanks to Your Majesty's favor," tsk tsk, he's clearly a soul beast, yet he speaks so sweetly, no wonder he's Gu Yuena's most capable subordinate.

"Alright, you can go back to the Spirit Realm now. I'll contact you if anything comes up. Remember to coordinate with Xue'er on the work, and keep an eye on Xiong Jun and the others. Don't let them cause me any trouble!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, space began to distort, and Di Tian vanished from his spot.

"Everything is almost done. All that's needed now is time and waiting."

The situation has developed to the point where no further intervention or interference is needed.

Tang San has temporarily lost the ability to interfere with the lower realms, and his soul rings and new cultivation methods are being promoted and spread with the help of the 'Soul Palace'.

As a result, the fortune and faith of the mainland will continue to converge in Lin Po's hands.

Especially with two major empires and Shrek Academy standing on the opposite side, the convergence effect will be even greater to some extent.

If they're lucky, the remaining fragment of the divine position in Tang San's possession will shatter completely due to the disappearance of the continent's fortune and faith, giving Lin Po more time.

As for what kind of turmoil this would cause on the mainland, and how many people would die, that was not something Lin Po needed to consider.

Compared to waging war, this is just a disturbance unique to Soul Masters; how much trouble can it cause?

Those hundred-plus titled Douluo on the mainland are no pushovers.

Besides, he didn't believe that the two great empires, Xingluo and Douling, would sit idly by and watch the order collapse.

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Po couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, throwing those unnecessary distractions to the back of his mind.

"While there is still plenty of time, it is more important to focus on improving our capabilities."

"After we get back this time, I'll absorb the Evil Emperor's soul ring. If it knows what's good for it, I'll give it a chance to work for me. If it doesn't... I think Di Tian will be happy to deal with it."

"The other two are from the Clear Sky Sect. They would be quite suitable as the ninth spirit rings of two martial souls."

"But what orders did Tang San give them? Why haven't they done anything yet?"
"We can't keep hiding like this; we need to find a way to force them out. When we get back, I'll talk to Dong'er and, while I'm at it, help her fuse 'Frostmourne'."

"And the Spirit Realm... why hasn't it advanced yet? It feels like something's missing."

Just as he was lost in thought, Wu San and Zhang Peng, the two brothers despite their age difference, walked into the office arm in arm.

Completely oblivious to Lin Po's figure, who was hidden by the sofa. "Brother, do you think we've completed the first two tasks the master gave us?"
Shrek Academy and the evil spirit masters were just one trigger away from exploding, and the continent was now turned upside down...

"The outcome of the task is hard to define; whether it has been completed depends on the mood of our lord."

“That’s true. You said the Lord has been in Star Luo City for four or five days, but hasn’t summoned us yet. Could it be that he’s forgotten about us?”

"No way, it can't be."

However, Lin Po had already come to his senses as soon as Wu San and the other man entered the room.

He heard every word of their conversation, leaving him both amused and exasperated.

Hearing his trusted subordinates being so respectful even when they were talking about crickets behind his back felt rather strange.

"Ahem, how could I forget you all?"

The sudden sound startled the two of them, and before their brains could react, they knelt on the ground.

"May the Lord be blessed with boundless fortune!" *2
Lin Po: “.”

These two idiots! Wu San is one thing, but Zhang Peng used to be such a cool and aloof old man, how come he's become a goofball now?

"Alright, alright, get up. I'm not a petty person."

"I'm not here for anything major. First, I wanted to check on Shrek Academy, and second, I wanted to deliver the mission rewards to you two."

The two who had just stood up froze on the spot upon hearing Lin Po's voice.

The Lord is definitely teasing them! What leader would travel all that way just to deliver a reward?
Thank goodness I didn't say anything out of line.

To their surprise, Lin Po actually took out four ten-thousand-year-old soul bones and threw them at them, forcing them into a flurry of activity.

"Two pieces each, both are ten-thousand-year-old soul bones over eighty thousand years old. The quality is quite good, and they match your attributes. I think they can bring you a good boost."

"Thanks"

"No need for kneeling and kowtowing in thanks; I get annoyed just seeing it done too often!"

Lin Po forcefully stopped the two from kneeling again before getting down to business.

"Wu San, I know about all the grievances you've suffered lately. Don't worry, you'll have your chance to get revenge."

"However, Xingluo City still needs you to be in charge during this period. Do you have any objections?"

"no!"

Holding the two soul bones in his hands, Wu San replied loudly.

“Very good. Also, once the ‘Soul Palace’ expands to the Douluo Continent, I need you to relocate the entire focus of the Spirit Soul Merchant Guild to the Heavenly Soul Empire. You can abandon some unnecessary things.”

This also provides an opportunity to further manipulate Xu Jiawei's fragile psyche.

"This is the fourth task. You will have to handle the key points yourself. There is only one thing: it cannot affect the progress of the existing plan."

"Yes!"

Seeing Wu San's resolute expression, Lin Po nodded.

He still prefers his obedient, efficient, and straightforward subordinates.

Unfortunately, there are too few of them; after searching for so long, I only found one.

Those people from the Sun and Moon Empire are indeed capable, but when it comes to assigning tasks, they always like to ask "why."

Even worse, some people complain behind people's backs that it's difficult and impossible to do before they've even started, which is very annoying.

In an instant, Lin Po's brain suddenly went blank.

His demeanor and way of thinking are exactly the same as those leaders from when he was on Earth.
The dragon-slaying boy becomes the dragon himself?
Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Lin Po immediately slipped away from the Spirit Soul Merchant Guild, afraid that they would notice his odd behavior.

"You guys figure it out yourselves, don't let me down!"

Looking at the spot where Lin Po disappeared, Wu San and Zhang Peng were somewhat puzzled.

Why does my lord look somewhat flustered?
