Douluo Continent II: You're an evil spirit master, but also a philanthropist?

Since he is not in a hurry to start a war, he naturally needs to make some preparations beforehand.

What is meant by "boiling a frog in lukewarm water"?

That's it.

Develop core soul guidance technology stealthily, in the air force (including any flying force, aircraft, capable of carrying long-range soul guidance devices for fire coverage, or powerful individuals carried by flying soul guidance devices, etc.), and on the ground (traditional tanks, Xuan Ziwen's self-propelled machines, and lightly armored mechs, etc.).

These constitute his foundation for the future, namely his hard power, which gives him the confidence to implement blitzkrieg tactics.

When we launch a blitzkrieg against Xingluo in the future, we must breach the capital and strike at its heart in the shortest possible time.

The wars of this period were, in fact, similar to those in medieval Europe. With the decline of Tang Sect's hidden weapons and the rise of soul-guided weapons, battles were basically fought with soul-guided cannons and sheer manpower.

Once Xu Cheng's heavy industry develops, it will truly be like the Three-Body Problem beating up the primitive humans.

"By the way, Orange, you've earned quite a few Star Luo Gold Soul Coins this time through betting. Let's invest them all in the Mingde Hall's research soul tool." Xu Cheng waved his hand generously.

As for military expenses? The bulk of an organization's expenses has never been soldiers' salaries, but rather the costs incurred in upgrading weapons.

Moreover, with his current strength, he can basically control the Fire Phoenix and Evil Monarch Soul Master Corps completely. Although the other two Beast Soul Master Corps are somewhat ambiguous, at least on the surface, most of them are biased towards Xu Cheng. Only the Royal Soul Master Corps, which he can barely control a quarter of, is under his control.

The remaining three-quarters were in the hands of the Sun and Moon Emperor.

There's also Mingdetang. Jing Hongchen and Xu Cheng's relationship seems ambiguous, but in reality, they've already placed their bets long ago. The future of Mingdetang belongs to Xiao and Meng.

But the former is a brother, and the latter... is most likely a wife.

Even if the future of Mingde Hall is on Xu Cheng's side, and although Elder Cheng doesn't talk much, he is the biggest BOSS in Mingde Hall. It's just that there was no conflict in the past, so he coexisted peacefully with Jing Hongchen and was willing to be an "ordinary" researcher.

If they get serious, the entire Mingde Hall might turn against them instantly...

These two places constitute Xu Cheng's current base of operations.

Development will also begin around this location.

Within the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps, after Aunt Qing advanced to the ninth level Soul Master with Xu Cheng's help, the original corps leader voluntarily stepped down to the second line (not retired, but took on the role of vice corps leader). In her own words, they were all sisters, and Huo Qing had greater potential; it was better for her to assume the corps leader's responsibilities sooner, with Aunt Qing assisting her…

Clearly, in Fire Phoenix, the sisters' relationship is pure and genuine after being tempered by war, with no artificial or superficial elements. Of course, it's also possible that Fire Phoenix understands the bigger picture and doesn't want internal strife, especially since Xu Cheng is the one who has the upper hand.

Wang Yiheng, the leader of the Evil Lord Soul Guidance Corps, is quite interesting.

This division commander was actually one of the emperor's men.

His emperor father seemed carefree and at ease, as if he had no power over the entire world.

In reality, what kind of ordinary person could be capable of launching the Xuanwu Gate Incident, killing his brother and seizing the throne?

However, he has lost his former vigor and plans to find a suitable successor among his offspring.

Xu Cheng's appearance was a pleasant surprise to him.

In fact, he had been secretly observing all these years since he moved out.

Including Xu Cheng's reaction to the "collusion" with the Holy Spirit Cult.

Xu Cheng has done an excellent job in balancing the relationship between the Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult, far exceeding the level expected of a young man.

They became disciples of Master Cheng, cultivated influence within the Holy Spirit Cult, and used others' strength against them.

Therefore, they dispatched the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps to directly join Xu Cheng.

This level of loyalty, though it originated from the emperor.

However, it should be noted that Xu Cheng currently has no conflict with the emperor...

The latter was nearly sixty years old. Due to his ordinary talent in cultivation and lack of longevity, he was also injured in the palace coup, leaving him with chronic illnesses and confined to his bed.

Therefore, in Xu Cheng's heart, the Evil Lord was second only to the Fire Phoenix in terms of trust.

Moreover, not long ago, Wang Yiheng, whether to show his loyalty or for other reasons, publicly beheaded a captain planted by the Fourth Prince, an eighth-level Soul Master, which angered Xu Mochen so much that he smashed up his own palace.

The most important thing is...

Xu Cheng learned this from Aunt Qing.

The emperor and his mother seemed to have more than just a first love; it was true love...

P.S.: The vote was overwhelmingly in favor of me. To be honest, I was shocked by the result. I never expected such a huge disparity. So, I'll just stay in Sun and Moon and develop quietly, without exchanging anything...

Chapter 126 Tang San's Plan to Clear the Level Begins!

Chapter 126 Tang San's Clearance Plan, Initiated!

Spirit world.

In the clouds, in front of a palace.

Tang San gazed silently at the sea of ​​clouds below.

His eyes were closed, as if he was thinking about something.

He was a god. Before being discovered by evil and good, he never thought to pay attention to things in the mortal world, nor did he believe that those so-called soul tools could bring him trouble. Although he had already foreseen that the chosen one of this continent would rise to power through soul tools and the enormous potential they brought.

But he was still not afraid.

Because he is a god, no matter how rapidly soul guidance technology develops, he can wake up one day and gently flick his finger at Douluo Star, eliminating these hidden dangers as easily as crushing an ant.

But that's not possible now...

Evil and good thwarted his plans.

The former forcibly stripped him of his control over Douluo Star. Although his mother, Ah Yin, was extremely closely integrated with the Golden Tree, he was able to escape the pursuit of evil and good by devouring many of its souls and achieving near-perfect "100%" control.

As for his father, after devouring the spirit of the Douluo plane and being forcibly separated, he had to humbly borrow a bit of the power of the God of Life to barely survive...

Therefore, even later, when he had to reveal his identity, the only things he could rely on on Douluo Star were probably the Clear Sky Sect, his mother Ah Yin, and Shrek Academy.

But this forces me to reveal my identity.

Because of the supervision of good and evil, he had to keep a low profile, even more so. In fact, he was the only one who knew about this plan, and he didn't even tell Da Ming, Er Ming, his mother, Xiao Wu, or the Shrek Seven Devils.

In the early stages, he could only rely on himself.

Although he was bewildered by the current situation in the mortal realm, Tang Shenwang still had considerable confidence.

Although evil and good frequently keep an eye on Douluo Star, a day in heaven is equivalent to a year in the mortal realm. Even if they observe it every few days, it would only happen once every few years. As long as one doesn't attract too much attention, one naturally won't be easily discovered. After the spirit of the Douluo Star plane was devoured by the father, although his father's soul was stripped away, his intelligence was also killed. It would take at least ten thousand years for a new plane spirit to be born with intelligence, according to the timeline of the mortal realm...

His confidence stemmed from the fact that no one interfered with him.

"Back then, we were able to start with a cataclysmic event, and with a Blue Silver Grass and a Clear Sky Hammer, we were able to become gods. Now, we can certainly do it too!" Tang San said with great confidence.

"let's start!"

As he spoke, divine power surged around him, forming a barely perceptible pale blue stream that pierced through the sea of ​​clouds and headed straight for Douluo Star...

……

Tiandou City.

In front of a blacksmith's shop.

Tang San slowly stopped.

His body, around eleven years old, appeared somewhat thin, and his clothes were tattered, but his expression was resolute. Although a wisp of his divine soul had entered a child who had starved to death on the street, his martial soul, after being modified by a trace of residual divine power, was no different from his original body... Blue Silver Grass, Clear Sky Hammer!

He was only eleven years old and had not yet awakened, but this was already the most suitable body he had chosen.

The Mysterious Heaven Skill and the Purple Demon Eye are firmly etched in his mind, along with the Tang Clan's hidden weapons. These are his assets for standing at the pinnacle in the future. (PS: Just a quick rant: Yes, even after ascending to the Upper Realm for many years, our God King Tang's cultivation techniques haven't been innovated at all. It's still the same old three: the Mysterious Heaven Skill, the Purple Demon Eye, and the Ghost Shadow Mystery. In Douluo Continent V, these were his initial assets...)

This body was orphaned and destitute, but that suited him perfectly. Why should he suddenly have extra parents? As a god-king, ruling over countless mortal realms, he considered himself the true parent of these beings. Otherwise, forcing himself to have two more parents would be going against the natural order!

Even without any background, you can build your own success with just your own two hands!

I'll start from the blacksmith's shop...

"Hey, whose kid is this?" A tall, dark-skinned man frowned in front of the blacksmith's shop, waving his hand impatiently. "Go away, go away, we don't have any food here. Go get some from somewhere else."

Tang San's lips twitched.

The contrast between the dignified God-King being treated like a beggar is quite striking, but he quickly adapted to his new identity. Pretending to be young is also one of God-King Tang's strengths...

"Ahem, Uncle, I'm not here to beg for food, I'm here to apply for a blacksmith job," Tang San said in a childish voice, blinking his innocent eyes.

"Applying to be a blacksmith? Hahaha, kid, do you think just anyone can be a blacksmith? With your small frame, can you even lift a hammer? Don't fall headfirst into the furnace..." the burly man laughed loudly.

"Could you let me give it a try?" Tang San continued.

"...Alright, come in." The blacksmith's heart softened. He thought the child was probably starving and was looking for a lame excuse to get a meal. Although soul tools were popular now and blacksmithing was declining, and business was getting worse, he could still give Tang San a bite to eat.

"Here, this is the smallest hammer in our shop. If you can lift it, I'll take you as my apprentice..." He led Tang San to the blacksmith's furnace, gave him some more instructions to be careful, and then turned to the back room to tell his wife to prepare some food.

"We're barely making ends meet, and you still bring people with you!" the wife said, somewhat displeased.

"Hey, how much can a child eat? I see his clothes are tattered, so his parents must be dead and he has no one to take care of him. Let's just do him a good deed and give him some food. After he finishes this meal, we'll find an excuse to get rid of him..."

The wife glared at the blacksmith and lightly pinched her waist.

He grumbled and whimpered as he entered the kitchen.

"..."

When the blacksmith came out with the food.

His eyes widened.

"Ding!"
