Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 330 The Final Arrangements, Star Crown Sect (4K)

"Is the farce over?"

Huo Yuhao spoke calmly, as if the four Soul Master Legions outside were just a few small insects.

Xiao Hongchen arrogantly replied, "Of course! With this genius on my side, is there anything I can't handle?"

“These Soul Master Legions are different from the Royal Soul Master Legion, which is only loyal to the royal family. Many of their commanders come from the Royal Soul Master Academy and Mingde Hall.”

"They support the empire's war for a better life, or for a better future, preparing to fight for a better future for themselves and for the benefit of future generations."

"The current emperor is clearly making trouble for everyone. The war is over, but the situation in the Three Kingdoms is not yet settled, and he is already preparing to attack us. He is being far too hasty. He is trying to cut off everyone's future in cultivation."

“These soldiers of the Soul Master Legion are also flesh-and-blood beings. How could they not see the key point? Naturally, they are unwilling to become victims of the internal struggles of the Empire.”

"Hmm." Huo Yuhao nodded and smiled, "Didn't His Majesty the Emperor promise us the right to recruit Soul Master Legion? Now it's perfect, four in one, I'm sure he can understand."

He had no doubt about Xu Tianran's ambition, but there was one thing he said that wasn't quite accurate.

Xu Tianran's haste in ordering his Soul Master Legion to immediately take action against the Extreme Path Organization after the Sun Moon Empire's victory in the Three Kingdoms Battle was definitely not an attempt to negate the cultivation system of the new era.

He was afraid. He saw the decline and fall of imperial power under the system of soul spirits and beast tamers. He saw that the declarations of the extreme sects did not include the place of imperial power as a dictatorial regime.

Xu Tianran had no choice but to do so. What he wanted was not to stop the trend of the times, but to break down the extreme organization and slowly plan to gain a place, or rather, a voice, in the new era's system.

It's like the awakening of a martial spirit.

Emperor Xu Tianran wanted to control the method of soul contracts within the royal family. This power could be distributed to a portion of the lower classes, but it absolutely could not be easily achieved by just anyone. This was not in the interests of the ruling class and was something that those in power had always been accustomed to doing.

But in that case, apart from not being able to harm soul beasts and resolving the conflict between soul beasts and humans, how is the soul spirit system any different from the soul ring system?

What Huo Yuhao wanted from the beginning was to give everyone a chance, a chance for everyone to cultivate as equally as possible after becoming more powerful in the plane.

Even if such an opportunity doesn't last forever.

Huo Yuhao looked at Su Tong, Zhang Lexuan and Xiao Xiao standing behind her, and even Ju Zi.

Ju Zi was initially sent by Xu Tianran, ostensibly to help Huo Yuhao build a Soul Master Legion, but in reality to monitor his every move.

But now, she has completely forgotten the orders of Xu Tianran, the emperor who has controlled her her whole life.

She and Xu Tianzhen have long since 'betrayed' her. This war goddess, the empress in the original storyline, is now a member of the extreme organization.

Since the Extreme Path Organization announced its principles, and that hunting soul beasts to absorb soul rings would no longer grant soul skills and strength, many forces on the continent have come to make contact with them.

The forces on the Sun and Moon side, especially those from the Body Sect, Mingde Hall, and Royal Soul Master Academy, are the ones most frequently accepted by the Extreme Path Organization.

This includes Ma Rulong, Mi Jia, Xiao Xiafeng, and others who had previously participated in major competitions but rarely appeared afterward.

It can be said that the basic framework of the yakuza organization has now been established, and it can expand on the mainland at any time, build training centers and branches, and spread its influence.

Huo Yuhao spoke slowly.

"The era of imperial power has passed. Next, the organization will clean up the conservative forces on the continent and those lurking in the shadows."

"Then, we began to form the first spirit ring contracts for the first group of people who naturally awakened their martial souls."

In the improved Soul Spirit system, there is no longer any claim that you have insufficient innate Soul Power and must reach level ten before you can form a Soul Spirit contract.

Because in that case, one still cannot escape the influence of the Soul Ring system and the Soul Master cultivation system.

Since they are two different things, they should be clearly distinguished. Apart from the undeniable fact that martial spirits do indeed help the soul spirit system, most of the others are not accepted by the soul spirit system.

The perfected Soul Spirit system, in essence, requires the Beastmaster to develop and achieve a high degree of synergy with their own Soul Spirit after contracting it.

In other words, it directly negates the limitation of the Soul Master era that required one to cultivate to a certain level and acquire Soul Rings to break through before one could continue to cultivate and improve.

Beastmasters will nurture their first soul spirit, increasing their affinity with it. The soul spirit's power will then provide feedback, continuing until they are qualified to contract a second soul spirit, thus forming a virtuous cycle.

Putting aside the fact that a soul contract requires mutual consent, even after the contract is formed, if someone feels they have gained power and engages in indiscriminate killing or uses their soul power to harm the world, they will be rejected by the system and will never be able to improve further.

This can be considered a fundamental solution to the problem of the birth of evil forces.

Aside from the arrangements mentioned above, Huo Yuhao felt that this was all he could do. As for what would happen in the future, that was their business.

Hear the words.

Su Tong and the others nodded. They were among the first beneficiaries of the Soul Spirit System, besides Huo Yuhao and the others, so they naturally knew what this meant.

They were all honored to be able to drive the renewal and transformation of a continent's cultivation system.

Su Tong raised her hand, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she put it down.

She always felt that Huo Yuhao was in a particularly hurry, as if he would leave soon.

She didn't know why she had this strange feeling, but she just subconsciously thought so, and felt a little uneasy.

As a genius who was helped by Huo Yuhao and 'trained' by Xue Di, she certainly did not doubt that Huo Yuhao could become a god. But what about herself? Would she be able to follow in Huo Yuhao's footsteps in the future, or would she be confined to this continent forever?

Having arranged these matters, Huo Yuhao knew that all he needed to do now was wait for news from the Sun Moon Clan. His teacher would handle everything for him, and he himself had no need to lower himself to take action against the Sun Moon Clan.

However, before that, he decided to help Su Tong and his trusted subordinates improve their strength.

Otherwise, after he leaves, it will be difficult for the Yakuza organization to truly suppress all dissenting voices with its strength alone.

He did this simply because he didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the original route that led to Huo's downfall, which resulted in an organization he had personally created becoming deformed and turning into a new threat to the mainland.

This is how we clean up certain forces on the mainland, and it's also how we enhance their strength.

As for what to do next, that's much simpler. With the extreme organizations flourishing everywhere, before heading to the God Realm, it might be a good choice to explore every corner of Douluo Star and take a good look at the scenery of this planet.

On the plane of Douluo Star, he might also be able to leave behind his legacy, waiting for the destined person and the future prodigies to be tested.

Or perhaps, he could open a spacetime portal connecting the God Realm of Creation and the Douluo Continent, allowing future generations to qualify for higher-level worlds after passing trials, much like how the God Realm guides gods from lower planes to ascend. He had many thoughts. After so many years of arduous cultivation, he finally possessed the power to control his own destiny in this universe. It was time to stop and relax. After enduring so much hardship, couldn't he at least enjoy himself?

night.

The Star Crown Sect is a hidden sect in the Star Luo world.

The Star Crown Sect is located in the northern part of Star Radiance City in the northeastern part of Star Luo territory. It is surrounded by the Asturias Mountains, with the Star Dou Great Forest to the west, the Star Fall River which winds for hundreds of miles to the south, and the coast to the east.

Its unique geographical location makes it easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is also rich in natural resources.

After the Xu family replaced the Dai family on the throne of the Star Luo Empire, Star Glory City received special attention from the royal family, its trade flourished, and its wealth ranked among the top in the entire Star Luo Empire.

Most of Starshine City's wealth was used to support Starshine Sect, which is one of the reasons why this secluded sect, though not engaged in production, was never short of resources, especially given the previous support from the royal family.

Within the Star Crown Sect, palaces and pavilions are scattered throughout the mountains. Among them, the most prominent main hall of the Star Crown Sect is located on the highest mountain peak. Apart from wood, most of the main structure is made of star crystals, and the dome is inlaid with a soul guide array that can simulate the movement of star orbits.

Outside the hall are nine star chart platforms for disciples of the sect to cultivate. Each platform is engraved with soul power transmission runes corresponding to the constellation, and at night it will flow with a faint blue halo following the trajectory of the stars.

At this moment, everything looks magnificent, making one feel as if they are in another world.

Meanwhile, inside this grand hall...

"Brother, I have failed. The allied forces have lost their last high-level soul master power and will be destroyed by the Sun and Moon. It is only a matter of time."

Xu Jiujiu felt ashamed, but she didn't know why she had failed.

Everything was going according to plan, and their arrangements were flawless, yet they still fell into the trap set by the Sun Moon Soul Master Legion.

As the princess of the Star Luo Empire, she not only caused the death of the high-level soul masters who had finally gathered from the three kingdoms, but also directly led to the failure of this final battle.

She, like a coward, ran back to Xingluo, back to Xingguan Sect, the only place she could rely on.

This time, she not only lost face herself, but also the face of the entire Star Luo Empire.

After the sun and moon unify the continent, even if they record my story, I will only be portrayed as a foolish, idiotic loser.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Jiawei, who had been driven out of Xingluo City by the Sun and Moon Army and retreated to Xingguan Sect with his remaining forces, finally let out a soft sigh.

"Jiujiu, this is not your fault. Even without your involvement, it would have been only a matter of time before the Three Kingdoms Alliance was defeated by the Sun and Moon."

Although it was meant as a consolation, anyone could hear the resentment in His Majesty's words.

But what could be done? News from the front lines had arrived: the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces had been defeated, and the Sun and Moon forces had retaken Tian Dou City after Xing Luo City. Even Emperor Wei Hao of Tian Hun had committed suicide.

Compared to him, Xu Jiawei felt that he was not much better than his own sister, both of them were too cowardly.

Sometimes he wondered if it would have been better if he had died like Wei Hao on the day Xingluo City was breached.

But it's different. Although Xingluo was the first empire to have its capital breached in the war, and most of its trusted confidants were killed, it still had a way out.

Within the Star Crown Sect, there are also elders of the Xu family, and the foundation and wealth that the Xu family has built up over thousands of years are still here.

Even if Riyue doesn't give them another chance and is determined to completely destroy the Xu family, they can still use the terrain here to leave from the eastern coast of Xingyao City and head far out to sea.

As long as he lives, there is a chance. He is not only the emperor of Xingluo, but also the head of the Xu family of Xingguan Sect. In addition to thinking about the empire, he also has to consider his family.

He was worried about entrusting the family to his younger sister, fearing that it would only lead the Xu family into the abyss. He couldn't be so selfish, even if it was just a coward's excuse to escape. But this was the only hope he could find to survive.

"Brother Emperor~"

After a long while, tears streamed down my face. I felt as if everything from the past was still vivid in my mind, and my heart was heavy.

She knew it was over, all over, everything was over.

The Star Luo Empire will no longer belong to the Xu family, and the Star Crown Sect will also find it difficult to survive the great purge that is about to take place.

Although the Emperor appeared relaxed, the future of the Star Crown Sect was already obvious.

"Go down."

Xu Jiawei's eyes were filled with an indelible weariness, as if he had aged decades in an instant.

Having fled from Tiandou City all the way back to Xingyao City, and already exhausted from the blows he had suffered both physically and mentally, he immediately withdrew upon hearing this.

Xu Jiawei got up, walked out of the hall, and looked at the starry sky, feeling that it was so beautiful.

Thinking back to his ambition to change the situation after he ascended the throne, and all that he had done for the prosperity of the Star Luo Empire, it all seemed as if it were still vivid in his mind. Unfortunately, from now on, all of this, and even this starry sky, would no longer belong to him.

I felt a mix of emotions: resentment, dejection, regret, heartache, and indignation. But the thing I regretted most was a decision I made back then.

How did things come to this?
The image of a boy flashed unconsciously through his mind. This image was so unforgettable and so profound, as if it had been engraved in this era in an incomprehensible way.

Huo Yuhao.

Throughout the war, the boy was never seen on any battlefield, yet he seemed to be everywhere.

The weapons of the Sun and Moon, their tactics, and even the flying soul tools that led to the passive position of the Three Kingdoms Alliance and its eventual defeat—all contained the image of that boy.

Thinking of the recently emerged extreme organization that claimed to replace the Soul Ring system, Xu Jiawei couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The Soul Spirit, the Beast Tamer, felt that everything he was struggling with was so ridiculous, and he laughed even more at the Sun Moon Empire and the final fate of that Emperor Xu Tianran.

The future does not belong to the Three Kingdoms, nor to the sun and moon. From the very beginning, imperial power has had no fertile ground to exist in the new era.

Everything the sun and moon did, in the end, just like them, turned to nothing in terms of right and wrong, success and failure!
After laughing, Xu Jiawei calmed himself down again, looked at the boundless starry sky, as if he were talking to himself, or as if he were talking to someone.

"Hao-di, you had a good son, but unfortunately you didn't cherish him. If you hadn't made that mistake back then, would our fates have been different?"
