Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

Chapter 157 You won't even call me Imperial Uncle

"I hope that in the future, when the Sun Moon Empire needs the help of Heaven's Mandate, Heaven's Mandate can—"

"Oh, what kind of help do you mean?"

"Is it to help you ascend to that position, or—to unify the entire Douluo Continent?"

Xu Yang's words left Xu Tianran speechless.

Perhaps Xu Tianran did not expect Xu Yang to ask such a simple and straightforward question.

"These things are still too far off. What I can guarantee is that the emergence of the Destiny organization will not have much impact on your original plans."

"You want to unify the Douluo Continent, but the main force behind it isn't me, is it?"

"The four major Soul Master Legions should be your focus. My place is full of old folks who are tired of fighting, so don't disturb their peaceful lives."

"Unless one day you cause trouble that could lead to the downfall of the Sun Moon Empire, it will be very difficult to persuade those predecessors to act."

"This will not change whether or not I establish a destiny."

Xu Tianran fell silent, because he knew that Xu Yang was right.

The Hall of Worship of the Sun and Moon Empire is a force that belongs exclusively to Kong Deming and is outside the Sun and Moon Imperial Family system.

Unless the Sun Moon Empire suffers a catastrophe of national annihilation, like the time thousands of years ago when Shrek Academy gathered more than sixty Title Douluos to launch a counterattack against the Sun Moon Empire, that would be an exceptional situation.

Otherwise, the ancestral hall would not easily mobilize its resources.

Their main task is to continuously improve the technology of soul tools and promote the development of soul masters.

Thousands of years ago, it was only through the intervention of the contemporary head of the Confucius family that the nation was saved from collapse and the crisis of national annihilation was averted.

However, Xu Tianran still did not want to give up. Apart from those worshippers who were difficult to persuade, there were still many talented people in the Heavenly Mandate.

For example, Ji Juechen, although he may never reach the Soul Saint realm in this life, his swordsmanship is such that he would definitely be qualified to be the chief instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards.

As far as Xu Tianran knew, there were quite a few geniuses like this in Destiny.

Moreover, they are all ordinary geniuses.

Perhaps due to the preferential policies of Destiny for commoner Soul Masters, many commoner students at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy choose Destiny as their first destination after graduation.

This made Xu Tianran very envious.

Ordinary people are also a force to be reckoned with.

"Oh—I admit I didn't think things through enough regarding those commoner geniuses I admitted to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy—"

"However, it won't be long before Destiny has its own subordinate academy."

"I've already thought of a name, it will be called St. Freya Academy."

"St. Freya Academy?"

Xu Tianran followed along and whispered a sentence.

He didn't understand what it meant.

"Also, there's something that really saddens me—"

Xu Tianran's expression changed slightly. He didn't know what he had done wrong. From the moment Xu Yang entered the room until now, Xu Tianran believed that he had taken care of everything.

This conversation is now coming to an end.

With both sides' objectives and attitudes clear, Xu Tianran couldn't say whether he was particularly happy or sad.

Fate will neither hinder his great cause nor seem to offer any assistance.

He was still somewhat disappointed.

"Really, even now, you still won't call me Imperial Uncle."

"This really makes me sad —"

Xu Tianran felt a throbbing in her temples, and even Ju Zi next to her almost couldn't hold back, thankfully she was well-trained.

As for why Xu Yang did this, it was purely to indulge his urge to be an elder; it was simply his personal, perverse pleasure.

Aside from Di Niji and the Hongchen siblings, everyone around him had to be addressed as "senior" or "grandfather" by him; he wanted to be an elder for once too.

Xu Tianran rubbed his throbbing temples. He had previously inquired about Xu Yang's personality from Xu Tianzhen.

Xu Tianzhen had mentioned it briefly at the time, saying that Xu Yang sometimes had a quirky sense of humor, but he hadn't taken it to heart. Now it seems that his dear sister was right.

"Yes, Imperial Uncle—"

In terms of seniority, he really should call Xu Yang "Royal Uncle".

"That's right!"

"We can't let you call me 'Royal Uncle' for nothing."

Xu Yang took out a peculiar soul tool from his storage soul tool, which looked somewhat like human legs.

"Keep it; maybe you'll be able to get rid of this thing someday."

Xu Yang pointed to the wheelchair under Xu Tianran.

This soul guide device is a product created by Xu Yang by combining mechanical prosthetics and soul guidance technology from previous civilizations.

The initial purpose of production was to help soldiers who lost their limbs due to special reasons in the war. This was the first version, and Xu Tianran was a perfect experimental subject.

Xu Tianran's face finally showed a clear change in expression. He had known for a long time that Xu Yang was very skilled in soul tools and could make many strange things.

He had considered asking Xu Yang to make him a soul tool to help him walk, but Xu Yang himself was always elusive and rarely seen.

Xu Tianran gradually gave up.

Unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise today.

He accepted the soul tool with both hands. As a titled Douluo and a level nine soul master, he could tell that this item was only a level eight soul tool.

However, many of the techniques seemed to belong to a different world than Douluo Continent, leaving him unable to comprehend them for the time being.

But—a sixteen-year-old level eight soul master is an unprecedented existence in the entire history of soul tool development in the Sun Moon Empire.

It's unlikely that anyone else will be able to do it again.

In fact, besides destiny, what he most wanted to gain this time was Xu Yang's support.

Xu Yang's talent is no secret within the entire Sun Moon Royal Family. At sixteen years old, he is a high-level Soul Emperor. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, breaking through to Super Douluo or even Limit Douluo in the future is a certainty.

The combination of Limit Douluo and Level 10 Soul Master—no one dares to imagine how powerful this combination would be in one person.

It is estimated that even Emperor Tian would have to avoid his sharp edge.

"Remember to report your experimental data to me regularly."

After Xu Yang finished speaking, he was about to leave.

Xu Tianran was still immersed in joy, but when he heard that Xu Yang was about to leave, he was still conflicted.

"Should I tell my little royal uncle about that matter?"

As Xu Qing's number one fan, he was probably the most heartbroken person besides Kong Deming's family when Xu Qing passed away.

From a young age, he had always looked up to Xu Qing and even considered becoming Xu Qing's disciple, since their martial souls were both the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon. However, for some reason, he did not succeed.

And now, his idol's child seems to be even more dazzling—

"Uncle, I have some news here that might be of great interest to you."

"Regarding the news of the mysterious deaths of His Majesty the Emperor and his wife fifteen years ago—"
