Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle
Chapter 351 Stable Development, Spirit Pagoda
After establishing the Douluo Federation, Lin Yao did not become complacent and stagnant in the joy of victory.
He knew all too well that conquering a country was easy, but maintaining it was difficult.
Unifying the continent is only the first step; the real test lies in how to govern this vast land.
The key is to enable those who once lived under oppression to truly live happy lives.
His first step was to establish a system. The highest authority in the Federation was the Federal Parliament, composed of representatives from various regions, responsible for enacting laws and overseeing government operations. Lin Yao served as the head of the Federation, wielding executive power, but major decisions required parliamentary review and approval. He also established an independent judicial system to ensure the impartial enforcement of the law. This system, designed with the knowledge he gained from the Star Palace in mind and adapted to the realities of the Douluo Continent, ensured both efficiency and prevented the abuse of power.
"Your Excellency, isn't this system too complicated?" Ning Fengzhi asked with a headache as he looked at the thick stack of files Lin Yao handed him.
Lin Yao smiled and said, "Sect Leader Ning, governing a country cannot be accomplished by the wisdom and prowess of one person alone. We need a sound system to ensure that the Federation can continue to function normally even after I am gone."
Ning Fengzhi nodded thoughtfully. He realized that Lin Yao's depth of thought far exceeded his age.
In terms of economic development, Lin Yao implemented a series of reforms. He abolished aristocratic privileges, implemented land reform, and allowed peasants to own their own land; he encouraged commercial development, reduced taxes, and established a unified monetary system and market rules; he vigorously developed education, establishing colleges throughout the country to cultivate various talents. He also utilized soul-guided device technology to drive the Industrial Revolution, significantly improving production efficiency.
In just a few months, the Douluo Federation's economy flourished. Markets were brimming with goods, shops lined the streets, and pedestrians thronged the streets. Farmers, now with their own land, were highly motivated to produce, resulting in a significant increase in grain yields. Craftsmen learned new techniques and created all sorts of novel items. Merchants traveled between major cities, facilitating the flow of goods.
Lin Yao went to great lengths to integrate the forces across the continent. He knew that although the Heavenly Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire had surrendered, their remnants still existed and could rise again at any time. He took a series of measures to weaken local forces and strengthen central authority. He reorganized the army into the Federal Army, unifying command; he reappointed officials in various regions to ensure their loyalty and reliability; and he established an intelligence system to monitor movements in various regions and promptly detect and deal with potential dangers.
On this day, Lin Yao arrived at the Lake of Life.
The lake water was crystal clear, shimmering in the sunlight, and surrounded by dense forest. The air was filled with a rich, vibrant life force, making one feel refreshed and relaxed. Lin Yao stood by the lake, quietly watching the water, seemingly waiting for something.
A moment later, ripples spread across the water, and a silver figure slowly rose from the lake. It was a woman, with a graceful figure and exquisite beauty, her long silver hair flowing in the wind. Her eyes were also silver, deep and mysterious, as if containing boundless wisdom.
Silver Dragon King.
"You've come." The Silver Dragon King's voice was cold, yet carried a hint of gentleness.
Lin Yao nodded: "I want to talk to you."
"What are you talking about?"
"Regarding the future of Soul Masters and Soul Beasts."
The Silver Dragon King was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "What do you want to say?"
Lin Yao looked directly into her eyes, his tone sincere: "I know that for a long time, the relationship between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts has been one of hunter and hunted. Soul Masters hunt Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Rings, and Soul Beasts resist the hunting of Soul Masters, resulting in deep-seated resentment between the two sides. But this relationship is not beneficial to either side. The number of Soul Beasts is decreasing, and the development of Soul Masters is also being restricted. I want to change this situation."
"How can we change it?" the Silver Dragon King asked.
"We will establish a Spirit Pagoda," Lin Yao said. "Through a new technology, we can enable Soul Masters and Soul Beasts to coexist peacefully and benefit each other. Soul Masters will no longer need to hunt Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Rings, but will instead obtain Soul Rings and Soul Skills by signing contracts with Soul Beasts. Soul Beasts, in turn, can obtain protection and resources from Soul Masters, and grow together."
A hint of surprise flashed in the Silver Dragon King's eyes: "Where did you get this technology?"
"From my hometown," Lin Yao said without elaborating, "I have a way to make it happen. But I need your support, and I need the trust of the Soul Beast race."
The Silver Dragon King remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "I can give you a chance. But remember, if you deceive me, the consequences will be severe."
Lin Yao smiled: "Don't worry, I won't let you down."
With the help of the Silver Dragon King and Di Tian, Lin Yao successfully formed an alliance with the Soul Beast race. He gathered the most outstanding Soul Masters and researchers on the continent to begin researching Soul Spirit technology. After several months of hard work, they finally overcame the technical difficulties and successfully produced the first batch of Soul Spirits.
The Spirit Pagoda was officially established. Lin Yao personally assumed the position of Pagoda Master, while the Silver Dragon King and Di Tian served as Honorary Elders. The Spirit Pagoda's mission is to promote harmonious coexistence between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts, and to advance the development of Soul Master civilization.
The news sent shockwaves across the entire continent. Soul Masters who had once been filled with fear and hostility towards Soul Beasts began to re-examine their relationship with them. And Soul Beasts who had once harbored hatred for humans began to try to accept this new way of coexistence.
The Spirit Pagoda and the Spirit Hall became the two core forces of the Douluo Federation. The Spirit Hall was responsible for maintaining order on the continent and cracking down on lawbreakers; the Spirit Pagoda was responsible for promoting the development of the Soul Master civilization and fostering peaceful coexistence between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts. The two complemented each other and together formed the cornerstone of the Douluo Federation.
After resolving the issues of the system and the soul beasts, Lin Yao began to work on strengthening his weapon—the Star Sword.
He gathered the best blacksmiths from across the continent, with Lou Gao overseeing the forging. Lou Gao was the president of the Blacksmiths' Association, hailed as the continent's foremost blacksmith, and had dedicated his life to the art of forging, having crafted countless divine weapons. When he heard that Lin Yao was going to forge a weapon surpassing even divine artifacts, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep for days and nights.
"Your Majesty, are you sure you want to use the Essence of Stars as a material?" Lou Gao stared at the ore that shimmered with starlight, his eyes filled with fervor. "This is a legendary material, said to be found only where stars fall. Weapons forged from it can rival divine artifacts!"
Lin Yao nodded: "Not only that, I will also use the power of ice and fire from the Eye of Ice and Fire to temper this sword."
"The Eye of Ice and Fire?" Lou Gao gasped. "That's one of the most dangerous places on the continent. Even a Title Douluo would find it difficult to withstand the power of ice and fire there."
"So I need your help." Lin Yao looked at Lou Gao, his tone solemn. "Master Lou Gao, I believe in your abilities."
Lou Gao was silent for a moment, then nodded heavily: "Since the head of state has said so, then I'll risk my old life!"
The forging process was extremely arduous. Lin Yao and Lou Gao, along with a group of blacksmiths, arrived at the Eye of Ice and Fire. The environment here was extremely harsh, with one half being an extremely cold ice cave and the other half a blazing volcanic crater. Two completely opposite forces converged here, forming a unique energy field.
Lou Gao led the blacksmiths, using the essence of the stars as their raw material and the power of ice and fire from the Eye of Ice and Fire as aids, to begin forging. They hammered, tempered, and sculpted day and night, each hammer blow consuming a vast amount of soul power, each tempering requiring them to endure the onslaught of ice and fire power. Several times, Lou Gao nearly collapsed, but he persevered through sheer grit and determination, driven by his love for forging and his promise to Lin Yao.
Lin Yao wasn't idle either. He stayed at the forging site, using his stellar power to support the blacksmiths and help them resist the invasion of ice and fire. He also occasionally stepped in to adjust the rhythm and force of the forging, ensuring that every hammer blow was just right.
After a year of arduous work, the material suitable for the Star Sword was finally forged. When the material was taken out of the forging furnace, the entire Ice and Fire Polar Eye trembled. A dazzling starlight shot into the sky, illuminating the entire heavens. Mysterious patterns appeared on the surface of the material, as if containing the secrets of the universe.
Lou Gao stared at the material, tears streaming down his face. He knelt on the ground, his hands trembling as he cradled the material, his voice choked with sobs: "I...I succeeded...I forged a material that surpasses even divine artifacts..."
At that very moment, a tremendous power descended from the sky and poured into Lou Gao's body. Lou Gao's body began to glow, and his aura rapidly increased. He had actually created his own God of Craftsmanship at that instant, becoming the God of Forging!
Lin Yao looked at Lou Gao, his eyes filled with satisfaction. He stepped forward and patted Lou Gao on the shoulder: "Congratulations, Master Lou Gao. From today onwards, you are a master craftsman."
Lou Gao raised his head, looking at Lin Yao, tears blurring his vision: "Your Excellency, thank you... Without you, I would never have reached this height in my life..."
Lin Yao smiled and said, "You made it who you are through your own hard work. I just gave you a chance."
Then, Lin Yao used the material to strengthen his Star Sword. He integrated the material into the sword's blade and tempered it with his own stellar power. The Star Sword emitted a series of humming sounds, and the starlight on its blade grew increasingly brilliant and dazzling.
When the enhancement was complete, the Star Sword had completely transformed. The blade had become longer and sharper, with mysterious patterns appearing on its surface, seemingly containing the secrets of the universe. A star gem was inlaid on the hilt, emitting a soft glow. The entire sword exuded a chilling aura, as if capable of slicing through anything.
Lin Yao gripped the Star Sword tightly and swung it lightly. A sword aura shot into the sky, stretching for 30,000 miles, cleaving the clouds in two.
The Starry Sky Divine Sword is complete.
Within a year, the mainland was at peace.
The Spirit Pagoda and the Spirit Hall became the two core forces of the Douluo Federation, jointly maintaining order on the continent. The Spirit Pagoda was responsible for promoting the development of Soul Master civilization and fostering peaceful coexistence between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts; the Spirit Hall was responsible for cracking down on lawbreakers and maintaining social stability. Their clear division of labor and seamless cooperation resulted in a thriving Douluo Federation.
In terms of developing productivity, Lin Yao implemented a series of reforms. He encouraged scientific and technological innovation, establishing special funds to support research projects; he vigorously developed agriculture, promoting new planting techniques and agricultural tools; he promoted industrialization, establishing factories to produce various civilian and military supplies. He also built a comprehensive network of roads and bridges to facilitate the transportation of goods and the movement of people.
Soul Masters and Soul Beasts coexist peacefully. The Soul Spirit technology of the Spirit Pagoda has been widely adopted, and more and more Soul Masters are choosing to form contracts with Soul Beasts instead of hunting them. Soul Beasts have also gradually lowered their guard and begun to cooperate with humans. In some areas, villages where Soul Masters and Soul Beasts live together have even emerged.
The strength of Soul Masters is also rapidly increasing. Due to abundant resources and a well-developed system, the cultivation speed of Soul Masters has greatly accelerated. Soul Saints are everywhere, Soul Douluos are as common as dogs, the number of Title Douluos has surged, and Super Douluos are emerging in large numbers.
Those around Lin Yao gained more resources, and their strength increased dramatically.
Grandpa Jerry, the village chief who cared for Lin Yao as he grew up in Holy Soul Village, has now become a Soul Saint. Although he is old, he is still very energetic and cultivates for several hours every day. He often says, "My greatest pride in this life is watching little Yao grow up step by step to where he is today."
Lin Yao's parents, Lin Yuyang and Zhao Wan, both became Soul Douluo. Originally ordinary farmers, they evolved their martial souls with Lin Yao's help, resulting in a rapid increase in their strength. They now manage the Federation's agricultural affairs, dedicated to increasing food production and improving the lives of farmers.
Lin Jing, the adopted younger sister of Lin Yao's parents, is the little girl who awakened her martial soul at the same time as Lin Yao. She has now become a Soul Douluo. With Lin Yao's help, her martial soul, the Crimson Cherry Spear, evolved into a top-tier martial soul. She now serves as a general in the Federal Army, responsible for training new recruits and defending the border.
In Super Douluo, Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Lingling, Ning Rongrong, and Dugu Yan have all reached the Super Douluo realm. Zhu Zhuqing's Netherworld Cat Martial Soul has reached its peak power; Ye Lingling's Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul has made her the continent's number one healing Soul Master; Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul has made her the continent's number one support Soul Master; and Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul has made her the continent's number one poison master.
Bone Douluo Gu Rong was among them, having reached the level of a Super Douluo of level ninety-eight. His Bone Dragon Martial Soul displayed astonishing power in his hands. He currently serves as the commander-in-chief of the Federation Army, responsible for commanding all military forces of the Federation.
Qian Daoliu and Chen Xin, two powerful figures of the older generation, achieved demigod status on the same day. Although they were advanced in years, their strength remained unfathomable. They were the pillars of the Federation; as long as they were there, no one dared to easily challenge the Federation's authority.
Qian Renxue became a god. She inherited the position of the Angel God and became the first living god on the Douluo Continent. Behind her, her golden wings shone brightly in the sunlight, radiating a divine light.
