Douluo Continent: Starting from Leading Ferocious Beasts to Transform into Demons

Chapter 44 The Choice of the Sun and Moon Empire

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong have returned to their dormitory to cultivate. After Lu Wu's explanation, Huo Yuhao's desire to cultivate is burning brightly. It is no longer for the hatred in his heart, but for the purpose of resurrecting his mother.

"Yuhao, the so-called god in your world has arrived. I have a feeling there's something wrong with him. You need to be careful."

Electrolux's voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's mind, his tone tinged with wariness.

The current Huo Yuhao is his most ideal successor. He has let go of hatred but has not forgotten it, and no one can harm him.

"Understood, Elder Yi."

Huo Yuhao was a little confused, but he assumed that Wang Dong had come to see him, since Wang Dong seemed to have a connection with the Sea God.

"Dong'er, Yuhao, the Sea God has come to see you."

Erming's voice rang out from outside the door, making Wang Dong's eyes widen. The Sea God was coming to see him?

The next second, the door opened automatically, and Tang San's kind face appeared in front of the two of them, with Er Ming obediently following behind.

"Hello, Lord Poseidon!"

The two of them stood up at the same time and bowed to Tang San.

"No need for formalities. One of you is the heir of my Haotian Sect, and the other is a disciple of my Tang Sect. It is only natural for me to come and see you."

Tang San's gentle voice rang out, as all-encompassing as the ocean.

Erming secretly rolled his eyes behind his back. He understood Tang San less and less. He pretended not to know his own daughter, as if she wasn't his daughter at all.

Huo Yuhao was at a loss for words. A living god had descended upon him, a weakling who wasn't even a Great Soul Master. Why was he looking at Tang Sect Master instead of at him, a Tang Sect disciple who had joined midway through?

"Don't be shy, God is not high above you."

Tang San looked at their bodies, which were almost touching, and his gaze softened.

······

"This is outrageous! This is outrageous! How dare the Sea God do this!"

The old emperor angrily threw the letter in his hand to the ground, then coughed uncontrollably on his dragon throne.

Kong Deming used his soul power to pick up the letter that the old emperor had thrown away, and noticed the unusual water stains on it, causing him to frown slightly.

"Because the Sun and Moon Empire has no gods."

Kong Deming said expressionlessly, while passing the paper in his hand to the other level nine soul masters.

"Don't even think about joining forces with the Douluo Three Kingdoms. They're going to hand over all their technology. Your fate will either be to die in the Star Dou Great Forest or within the borders of those countries."

"Choose your own way of dying."

The level nine soul masters behind him remained silent after reading the letter. Even if they surrendered to the other side, they would probably be abandoned once their soul tool technology was exhausted.

Even those who surrender wouldn't believe the other side would share those technologies with them. If new hatred were added to the mix, they would probably be purged.

"All of you are my most trusted ministers. The matter of the suicidal attack on Douluo Continent must not be leaked. Anyone who leaks it will have their entire family executed, and everyone will join in the punishment."

The old emperor glanced at the crowd below the stage, his face contorted with rage.

"I will obey Your Majesty's command."

Many level-nine soul masters walked out of the main hall with worried expressions. They could not see a glimmer of light in the future. Was death really the only option for them?

"Perhaps the sea god has been defeated."

A level nine Soul Master made a joke in an attempt to ease the tension.

Some people laughed along, some remained silent, and some had strange looks in their eyes.

Kong Deming naturally heard the joke, but shook his head and didn't care. He composed himself and prepared to meet his new apprentice.

After all, when he went to see the Sea God with the soul tool data of the Sun Moon Empire, it would be the time of his death. He wanted to pass on all his knowledge while he still had time.

"Teacher, you've arrived."

Lu Bai is researching a new soul tool.

"Lu Bai, this is the information on soul tools that I have compiled. If you absorb and digest it step by step, you can also become a level nine soul tool master. It will lay the foundation for you to become a level ten soul tool master. It's just a pity that I won't live to see that day."

Kong Deming rarely sighed, as he always felt he could say anything in front of this newly accepted disciple.

"Teacher, you..."

Lu Bai looked at Kong Deming with concern. This teacher had been very good to him, and he was very worried about Kong Deming's situation.

"It's all because of that so-called Sea God. I really hope that group of ferocious beasts can kill Tang San. At least under the restraint of the ferocious beasts, the Sun Moon Empire still has a future. But with Tang San's arrival, the future of the Sun Moon Empire is gone."

Kong Deming was furious. The Sun Moon Empire crushed the Douluo Three Kingdoms with its soul tool technology that was hundreds of years ahead, and yet it claimed that it was for the future of the Douluo Continent that the Sun Moon Empire should voluntarily contribute. It was like a prostitute trying to erect a memorial arch.

Not to mention letting the Sun Moon Empire lead the charge. Once all the titled Douluo of the Sun Moon Empire are dead, wouldn't the Sun Moon Empire be like a chicken on a chopping board, at their mercy?

Lu Bai's eyes flashed with confusion, then quickly became deep and thoughtful.

"Do you really want the ferocious beast to kill Tang San?"

Lu Bai gave Kong Deming a strange smile.

"Who are you? Get off Lu Bai right now!"

Kong Deming summoned his martial spirit, and his level-nine soul tool was already aimed at Lu Bai. His tone was completely off.

"Didn't you see me that day? My silhouette in the sky."

There was no trace of panic in Lu Bai's tone.

Kong Deming recalled the events of the past few days, his pupils contracting slightly, his heart churning with turmoil.

"You are that soul beast!"

"I'm not exactly a soul beast; you can call me the Demon Ancestor."

Lu Bai thought for a moment and shamelessly gave himself the title of Demon Ancestor.

"Demon Ancestor? You came from beyond this realm?"

Kong Deming reacted quickly, immediately realizing that the other party was definitely not a being from the Douluo Continent; their performance that day was far beyond what was expected.

"More or less. This is the embodiment of my experiences in the mortal world. I didn't expect you to trigger it."

"So, do you want to kill Tang San? Even if it means betraying humanity?"

Lu Bai fiddled with the soul tool in his hand, his gaze fixed on it, seemingly unconcerned about the other party's answer.

Betrayal of humanity!

Kong Deming hesitated. Although he had said he would make the Douluo Three Kingdoms suffer heavy losses even if it meant his death, he didn't want to go so far as to surrender to humans.

"I agree, but I don't know what price I'll have to pay."

Kong Deming immediately agreed, but his heart was filled with lingering fear. The other party was no good person; how could he possibly leave himself any room for maneuver?

"It's very simple."

Lu Bai smiled gently, tapped Kong Deming's forehead with his finger, and transmitted a set of formations into his mind.

"As long as you join the demon race and become a member of the demon lineage, we will naturally give you our full support."

"This is a bloodline conversion formation. Just go to the Star Dou Great Forest and find them. Just tell them my name."

"Then, betray humanity."

The profundity in Lu Bai's eyes gradually faded, and his memories were locked away once again.

"May I ask your name?"

Kong Deming asked in a panic, "I haven't left my name yet."

"Lu Wu~"

The faint sound gradually faded away, leaving only a bewildered Lu Bai standing there.

Kong Deming didn't know how to treat his newly accepted disciple, so he sighed and turned to leave. He was going to discuss things with the emperor.

It's Monday, please vote and read on!
