Douluo Jueshi: Who made him a soul mentor?

Chapter 193: War, Begins!

After intense arguments and negotiations, the Holy Spirit Cult and the Douluo Three Kingdoms finally reached a friendly agreement.

This book is first published on the entire network

Both sides agreed not to invade each other, not to harm each other, and to coexist peacefully.

Of course, to keep the Holy Spirit Cult in check, the Star Luo Empire also paid a certain price.

Among them, three provinces on the border between the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire were allocated to the Holy Spirit Cult as its territory.

Although the Star Luo Empire Emperor Xu Jiawei was extremely reluctant, there was nothing he could do.

After all, the Star Luo Empire had been attacked by the Holy Spirit Cult all the way to its capital, Star Luo City, and most of its territory had been occupied by the Holy Spirit Cult.

Without the help of Shrek Academy, the Dou Ling Empire, the Tianhun Empire, and numerous top Sects, the Star Luo Empire would surely have been destroyed by the Holy Spirit Cult.

Now, only allocating the three provinces that are resource-poor, sparsely populated, and bordering the Sun Moon Empire is already the best outcome.

If he still didn't agree, the powerhouses from Shrek Academy and other forces would likely be dissatisfied and might not be willing to continue clashing with the Holy Spirit Cult to help the Star Luo Empire.

Moreover, allocating the three provinces bordering the Sun Moon Empire to the Holy Spirit Cult is not without any benefits.

If the Sun Moon Empire were to truly launch an invasion war, the Holy Spirit Cult could also serve as a buffer for the Star Luo Empire. This would prevent the Star Luo Empire from directly clashing with the Sun Moon Empire.

Considering everything, Xu Jiawei ceded the three border provinces.

Ye Xishui did not push her luck either, but stopped while she was ahead.

Although the three provinces ceded by the Star Luo Empire were not good places, the territory was real. With territory came population, and with population came resources.

For the Holy Spirit Cult, 'people' themselves are the most important resource, far more important than any rare metals.

Previously, the Holy Spirit Cult didn't have its own territory, and whatever it did had to be done secretly.

Now that it has its own territory, as long as it is governed well, allowing the population within the territory to grow continuously and then harvesting regularly, the strength of the Holy Spirit Cult will be able to rapidly increase.

Once its strength is sufficient, it can then capture more territory, thereby growing like a snowball, and sooner or later it will be able to rule the entire World.

After the Holy Spirit Cult and the Shrek Academy alliance signed the friendly agreement, they each departed and began to lick their wounds.

This earth-shaking great battle not only turned Star Luo City into ruins. The losses in manpower on both sides were also considerable.

Among them, four Elders and Enshrined from the Holy Spirit Cult died, Vice Cult Master Feng Ling also perished in this great battle, and more than a hundred Evil Soul Masters of the Spirit Douluo and Spirit Saint level died. The casualties were not small.

The Douluo Three Kingdoms also suffered considerable losses. Nearly thirty powerhouses of the Titled Douluo level died under the death throes of numerous Evil Soul Masters, and a full five powerhouses of the Super Douluo cultivation level died.

However, powerful figures like Ye Xishui, Long Xiaoyao, Xuan Zi, Du Busi, and others did not die. Those who died were those with insufficient strength, weak life-saving methods, and bad luck.

But even so, for both the Holy Spirit Cult and the Douluo Three Kingdoms, it could definitely be considered a crippling blow.

...

While the Douluo Three Kingdoms and the Holy Spirit Cult were fighting, the Sun Moon Empire began its major movements.

Well-equipped Soul Instructor Legions began to gather, and a regular army of 200,000 people gradually rushed towards the border from all directions within the Sun Moon Empire.

The reason such a large regular army was needed was, of course, not for them to fight.

Instead, they were needed to be dispatched to conduct grassroots control over the towns and cities that would be captured in the future, to avoid chaos.

It must be known that the number of Soul Masters possessing spirit power on the Douluo Continent is extremely rare. Every Soul Master has a noble status, far above ordinary people without spirit power.

If relying solely on the scarce Soul Instructor Legions, it would definitely be impossible to control every single place.

To effectively control every city and every town, a regular army is indispensable. As for the Soul Instructor Legions, they are more responsible for frontal warfare and subsequent deterrence after the war.

Due to the presence of storage spirit tools, items such as food and equipment do not require personnel escort, saving a large amount of manpower and time.

Without storage spirit tools, transporting the provisions and equipment needed for an army of 200,000 alone would require three times or even more labor.

While the Sun Moon Empire was making its major movements, the Douluo Three Kingdoms, due to the Holy Spirit Cult, had not yet discovered this massive change.

Just like that, time flew by. A month passed, and the Sun Moon Empire, from top to bottom, completed its preparations for war.

The Five Great Protector Hands Soul Instructor Legions, ten regional Soul Instructor Legions, and 200,000 regular troops were stationed on the border, fully prepared. With just one command, they could launch an attack into the Star Luo Empire.

Just as the members of the various Soul Instructor Legions were rubbing their hands, their eyes burning with eagerness, impatient to flatten the Douluo Three Kingdoms and achieve great deeds.

The several Nine-level Soul Guidance who were in charge of the army were all quietly waiting for Wang Chen's arrival.

Meanwhile, within the Black Book space.

Turbulent time spirit power flowed at fifty times the speed of the outside World.

Wang Chen sat cross-legged in the empty, silent space, comprehending the rules of time.

Although only a month had passed in the outside World, Wang Chen had spent several years within the Black Book space.

Relying on the Black Book's enhancement of comprehension and the superior conditions within the Black Book space that allowed observation of the flowing anomalies of time spirit power.

Wang Chen used his external Spirit Bone, Evil Eye, comprehending the rules of time without pause, almost maniacally.

As the saying goes, heaven helps those who help themselves, coupled with the fact that Wang Chen's conditions for comprehending the rules of time were simply too superior.

In this month's time, Wang Chen had already gained a preliminary control over time spirit power.

If the progress bar for completely comprehending the rules of time were divided into a hundred parts, then Wang Chen had now completed one-tenth.

Don't underestimate this one-tenth. One must know that if the rules of time are fully comprehended, then condensing a God King God Position would be effortless.

Even having only comprehended one-tenth of the rules of time is enough to condense a First-grade God Position, which is undeniably powerful.

Although Wang Chen has not yet created a God Position, relying on his comprehension of the rules of time and the power of the rules of time, even if a Second-grade God were to arrive, it's uncertain who would kill whom.

One could see that at Wang Chen's glabella, the deep blue Evil Eye was currently flowing with silver time spirit power, and every blink seemed to cause ripples of time around him.

Wang Chen slowly opened his eyes. He raised his hand, and his fingertips gently traced across the void before him.

A bizarre scene appeared—where his fingertips passed, space did not break, but instead, countless strange overlaps emerged. These were the states of the same space at different points in time being displayed simultaneously.

Wang Chen nodded in satisfaction. 'The rules of time are indeed powerful and bizarre. As I am now, if I wanted to kill myself from a month ago, one glance would be enough.

Calculating the time, a month has passed, and the Sun Moon Empire is probably almost ready. It's time to spend a little time unifying the Continent.'

With a thought, Wang Chen's figure disappeared from the Black Book space and reappeared in the Wang Family.

Immediately after, Wang Chen waved his hand, and a silver-white vortex passage appeared.

Wang Chen stepped out, and in the next moment, he arrived at the border of the Sun Moon Empire.

'Wang Chen!' Several Nine-level Soul Guidance who saw the sudden appearance of Wang Chen quickly bowed respectfully.

Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin, who was leading, said, 'The Five Great Protector Hands Soul Instructor Legions, ten regional Soul Instructor Legions, and 200,000 strong army have assembled. Please give your command!'

Wang Chen's eyes were indifferent, his black hair wildly dancing in the strong wind. 'Depart! Conquer the Douluo Three Kingdoms, destroy Shrek Academy!'

Wang Chen's blood-boiling voice echoed above the border for a long time. The armor on his body reflected a chilling light under the sun. The anomaly of the sun and moon shining together behind him dyed half the sky blue and white.

Fifteen Soul Instructor Legions simultaneously activated their linked spirit tools, and colorful spirit power light beams shot up into the sky.

The 200,000 strong army knelt on one knee in perfect unison, and a murderous aura like a steel torrent swept across the fields.

Everyone roared in unison, 'Conquer the Douluo Three Kingdoms, destroy Shrek Academy!'

Amidst the deafening shouts, the heavens and earth seemed to tremble...
