Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 323 The Aftermath of the Great Battle and the New Situation

The Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament has come to an end, in a way that no one expected.

The highly anticipated showdown between Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy did not occur, and no final winner emerged in this continent-wide advanced soul master competition.

Looking back over the past ten thousand years, this is an extremely unique phenomenon. However, the Star Luo Empire has no time to pay attention to the Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition at the moment, as the battle with the Sea God Family has caused them heavy losses.

A promising Super Douluo and several Title Douluos perished, and a large number of powerful individuals died in this conflict.

The land surrounding Xingluo City was almost completely plowed up, and a large portion of the Tiger Might Mountains disappeared.

According to estimates, the resources required to repair just the land outside Xingluo City would be several meters long.

With the Star Luo royal family's accumulated Dream Coins exhausted, Xu Jiawei even planned to auction off some of the national treasury's treasures to raise some money.

Fortunately, these battles were not entirely fruitless.

In the sea area surrounding Tianxing Port, countless spirit rings piled up on the ocean. The coastal defense forces began to prioritize storing high-age spirit rings using spirit ring storage devices.

The countless corpses of sea spirit beasts in the ocean also yielded a large number of soul bones.

Although the soul bones of sea spirit beasts are generally not compatible with those of land-based soul masters, they are still soul bones. Even if they are not used for absorption, they are excellent materials for making soul tools.

Of the three sea monsters that perished in Xingluo City, one had its spirit ring and spirit bone stolen by Kong Deming, and the other was stolen by the Poison-Undying.

The Star Luo royal family couldn't say much about this, since it wasn't a matter of stance. Both sides had indeed put in a lot of effort, so it was reasonable for them to receive some compensation.

As for the last ferocious beast's spirit ring and spirit bone, they fell into the hands of the Star Luo Royal Family, while Shrek Academy took away the complete set of spirit bones from Walrus Douluo and Sea Shark Douluo.

It has to be said that these Sea Soul Masters are really rich; almost every Sea Soul Master Title Douluo has one or two ten-thousand-year-level Soul Bones.

This also explains why these ocean-bound titled Douluo are so powerful on land as well.

The ocean's profound depth left land-based soul masters speechless.

In addition, the Star Luo royal family tallied the number of civilians who died in this conflict, and surprisingly, the death toll was pitifully low.

Most of those who died were possessed by demons, trying to take the risk of digging up corpses near the battlefield, only to be shattered by the aftershocks of a battle involving a Title Douluo-level expert.

When most honest and law-abiding civilians encounter a crisis, a faint blue light will appear beneath their feet and teleport them directly to a safe location.

The Star Luo royal family recalled that during the great battle, the aftershocks of the fight between Long Xiaoyao and others and the Sea God Douluo were neutralized by an unknown force when they reached Star Luo City. They immediately realized that there was an unknown powerful figure inside Star Luo City who had intervened at that time.

It's just unclear why this powerful figure hasn't appeared yet, even though his contributions are enough to earn him a share of the spoils after the war.

Of course, Roman wasn't interested in this. He was almost burnt out and just wanted to rest for a while. They had agreed to come here for a vacation, but this had happened.

Fortunately, everyone was safe and sound. Rather than wasting time and energy trying to get a piece of the pie, he chose to watch Meryl's live stream a little longer, since Roman didn't care about those resources.

The excitement surrounding the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament was completely overshadowed by this great battle.

Numerous first-person perspective videos were posted on the Magic Network, allowing the entire continent to see the full picture of this event.

From the initial battle of Title Douluo to the battle of Super Douluo, then to the battle of Ultimate Douluo, and finally the near-explosive battle of gods, the bloodthirsty audience across the continent was dazzled.

Countless citizens of Xingluo City began to boast on the magic network, fabricating countless bizarre stories about how they survived such a peak battle.

The online audience really bought into this, earning them plenty of traffic and Dream Coins.

Because of the rapid transmission of information through the magic network, the entire continent saw the hypocrisy and disgusting nature of the Sea God family from every angle.

Seeing the other party's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, countless people couldn't help but turn red.

In particular, the despicable acts committed by the Sea God family along their route were exposed on the magic network.

This caused the Sea Soul Masters on the high seas to surpass the Sun Moon Empire and become the most hated force in the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

The situation was similar in the Sun and Moon Empire. They had always deeply resented these damned sea pirates, and the four continental nations were surprisingly united in their attitude towards maritime forces.

As for the sea god who appeared last, he was also despised by countless people.

The Sea God's final words were interpreted by various heroes as having only one core principle: double standards, and that his words were all meant to protect the Sea God's family.

Not only that, he also considers himself the parent of the mainland, which disgusts countless people. They are all angrily cursing on the internet what contributions the sea god has made to the mainland that he dares to consider himself the parent of the mainland.

They even said to try to understand the philosophy of the Sea God family. Isn't their philosophy to convert to the Sea God's faith and uphold the glory of the Sea God?
For the past ten thousand years, the Sea God has always been a righteous and glorious figure. He led the people of Douluo Continent to resist the Spirit Hall, destroyed the Qian family, the main branch of the Angels, and saved the people from suffering.

Many users of the Magic Network, whose families had deep cultural heritage, unearthed ancient books from their homes and used them to tell everyone that before Tang San ascended to godhood, the standard of living for ordinary people was quite good. Prices were low back then; one gold soul coin was enough for a family to eat and drink lavishly for a month, while a high-level blacksmith earned two gold soul coins a month.

If you are a Soul Master, you can receive one Gold Soul Coin for free each month before reaching a certain level.

Anyone on the mainland can awaken their martial soul for free; even people from remote mountain villages go there specifically to awaken their martial soul.

Children with soul power can also study at the Soul Master Academy as part-time students.

Most importantly, by that time, evil spirit masters on the mainland had long been killed off by the Angel lineage and were now protected animals. The mainland was very safe, and at least you didn't have to worry about the appearance of evil spirit masters when you went out.

Some have even uncovered that the reason the evil spirit masters have run rampant again is because the Killing Capital was blown up by an unknown entity, which has caused the evil spirit masters to roam freely across the continent.

As for who caused the explosion, people speculate that it was Poseidon, since the timing matches up. Although there is no evidence, given the current public opinion, it's safe to pin the blame on Poseidon.

Afterwards, the main family of the Angel lineage was wiped out, the six-winged angels became extinct, and the evil soul masters officially erupted on a large scale.

So, before the sea god ascended to godhood, where were the people suffering from fire and water?
Judging from the current development of public opinion, the Spirit Hall is showing a trend of being whitewashed. Many authors on the Magic Network have even started creating novels based on these latest revelations, portraying the Sea God as the villain and the Angel lineage as the righteous.

As for Bibi Dong, no one has tried to whitewash her. Regardless of which historical record describes Bibi Dong as a rather anthropomorphic character, she should just be left to rot in her coffin.

Of all the factions, Shrek Academy is in the most awkward position, as they don't know whether or not to sever ties with the Sea God.

If they don't sever ties, they're afraid of being condemned by the public; but if they do, it's difficult to explain to the successive leaders of the Sea God Pavilion.

We can only wait for the Sea God Pavilion meeting to discuss it. After all, Shrek Academy is a secular force and cannot escape the influence of public opinion.

…………

A month after the battle of Xingluo City, the various forces gradually calmed down.

All the participating academies have left, and the population of Xingluo City has returned to eight million.

Outside the city, various large construction teams were working enthusiastically. Xu Jiawei thought that since the city walls had already collapsed, he might as well take the opportunity to expand the city.

We can also use work-for-relief programs to help disaster-stricken people recover from the disaster.

Three days after the battle of Xingluo City, Du Busi and Kong Deming broke out into a fierce battle, both believing that the other had obtained the Book of Records.

The final outcome remains unknown. Kong Deming returned to the Sun Moon Empire with a large number of soul rings and soul bones, and his death from poison was practically inevitable.

Having obtained a spirit ring and spirit bone of ferocious beast level, the trip was not in vain.

As the situation gradually calmed down, a lot of information about Di Tian suddenly appeared on the Magic Network.

Because Di Tian displayed terrifying combat power in the Battle of Xingluo City, and because he stood on the side of the mainland, the people had a lot of goodwill towards him.

Especially the Star Luo Empire. If it weren't for Di Tian's intervention, the final outcome would have been hard to say. The strength displayed by the Sea God Douluo was too terrifying; his spiritual power at the Divine Origin Realm was enough to suppress the continent.

Xu Jiawei seized the opportunity to announce an alliance with the Star Dou Great Forest and unveil the Spirit Pagoda plan.

They publicly declared to the entire empire that once the Spirit Pagoda was completed, the hunting of spirit beasts would be illegal.

The Soul Beast Protection Act was also published on the Magic Network, causing a huge uproar in the Soul Master community.

Following closely behind, the Tian Dou Plain, which was occupied by Passion and Shrek, also announced the construction plan for the Spirit Pagoda and related legislation.

This bill also officially signifies that the Tiandou Plain has been effectively separated from the Tianhun Empire.

If you don't even have the power to legislate, where does your sovereignty come from?
Subsequently, under Gu Yuena's forceful suppression, the Heavenly Soul Empire had no choice but to acknowledge the Spirit Pagoda construction plan and related legislation.

On the Sun and Moon Empire's side, Otto, in his capacity as Prime Minister, announced a plan to keep pace with the times. Otto, holding a high position of power, received widespread support, with ministers from all walks of life expressing their full support.

With the support of the three great empires and a vast plain, other minor forces in the Soul Master world would have no choice but to agree, even if they didn't want to.

Might makes right; this is an age-old truth.

As for the Douling Empire, they are about to face the second counterattack from the Sea God family.

Of course, it would be more accurate to call them the Amon family rather than the Sea God family.

Amon silently took over the Sea God family, waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to help him become a god.

It's impossible for the nine consciousnesses within the Sea God's body to remain problem-free forever. Once a problem arises, his only way out is the Sea God family in the lower realm.
