Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 513: Gu Yuena's Request

"Qinghe, stop!"

After Emperor Xueye abdicated, he never participated in any decision-making, but instead focused on self-cultivation and occasionally chatted with his concubines about life.

Now that the foundation of the empire is crumbling, he cannot sit idly by, which is why he has come here to comfort Xue Qinghe.

This "son" was so ambitious that he did what he had always wanted to do but dared not do.

The Heavenly Dou Empire has lasted for ten thousand years, and there are simply too many nobles within its borders.

The elimination of some nobles due to the war also reduced the burden on the Heavenly Dou Empire.

"Father, it's too late to stop now."

"Neither I nor the nobles at the front are willing to back down."

Xue Qinghe shook his head and spoke frankly.

Upon hearing this, Xueye fell into deep thought.

As the former Emperor Xueye, he naturally understood the profound meaning behind Xue Qinghe's words.

The Heavenly Dou Empire will not lose. Even if it cannot win, it is impossible for it to lose under any circumstances.

With Zhongli in charge and the God of Destruction and the God of Fire present, there is no possibility that Tiandou City will fall.

Therefore, the Heavenly Dou Empire cannot lose.

Whether nobles or ordinary soldiers, everyone understood this principle.

How can they possibly back down when a war they can't afford to lose has already escalated to this point?

There's no way I'll give up now. I'll take a gamble; maybe I can become an even more powerful noble family!

The nobles weren't fools; they understood the meaning of "Xue Qinghe," but they had no intention of opposing "Xue Qinghe."

Wouldn't reducing the number of nobles allow the surviving nobles to gain more status and benefits?

For the sake of status and profit, they pretended not to know Xue Qinghe's intentions, even though they knew them.

Nobody's a fool; faced with such a blatant scheme, they were willing to go.

After a long while, Xueye sighed.

"Forget it, let's talk about everything after the war is over."

The snowy night at this moment seemed to have aged ten years.

Throughout his life, he seized the throne and conquered many countries, making him one of the few great emperors in history.

But compared to "Xue Qinghe"...

"I lack that kind of confidence."

Xue Ye shook his head. He understood that the current "Xue Qinghe" would not listen to him. Whether the empire could take another step forward depended entirely on that person's thoughts.

"As long as the tradition continues, it doesn't matter..."

After Xue Ye left, Xue Qinghe shook his head.

Her "father" is likely to be disappointed. Even if the war is won, the empire will not be the same as it once was, nor will it be the continent dominated by the Swan Martial Soul.

The reason this emperor was not killed was because he was pragmatic and knew when to retreat, and did not participate in any imperial affairs.

He's old and doesn't have many years left to live, so let him have a good ending.

The premise is that he won't step forward and cause trouble...

The scene shifts to Zhongli Mansion.

At this time, the Zhongli residence was filled with joy and harmony.

With the arrival of Xiangling and Guoba, the mansion became more lively, especially Xiangling, who was quite vivacious.

"Sister Guizhong, please try this braised earthworm with slime!"

Earth dragon, that goes without saying.

As for slimes, there are many of them even on the Douluo Continent.

This is a very weak soul beast. Although it is similar to the slime on the Teyvat continent, its abilities are different.

Of course, as time went on, slimes from the Teyvat continent also appeared on the Douluo Continent!

This caused some Soul Masters to suffer greatly when hunting Soul Rings.

Especially for fire-attribute soul masters, they are utterly helpless against fire-attribute slimes...

Soul Masters are inherently physically weak and rely mainly on the amplification or attributes provided by their Martial Soul.

They were helpless against slimes of the same type.

Immunity... Immunity... Immunity...

Looking at the culinary disaster in Xiangling's hands, Guizhong's eyes twitched slightly, and he raised an eyebrow.

She finally understood why Zhongli liked Xiangling's cooking, yet also disliked it...

If this child had even a little less creative ability, why would Zhongli have gone to such lengths?

Although I didn't taste it, the presentation and color were exquisite, making it a pretty good dish.

But when it comes to cooking, it all comes down to taste; good taste is what truly matters.

But she really had no intention of tasting it!

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a little guy and quickly said, "Paimon, there's something delicious here!"

Upon hearing this, Paimon didn't think much of it. A flash of golden light appeared in his big eyes, and he quickly flew to Gui Zhongshun's side.

"Miss Guizhong, where can I find some good food?"

Paimon rubbed his hands together, looking expectant.

"Here comes Xiangling's new dish, Flying Dragon Enters the Sea!"

Gui Zhong pointed to the plate in Xiang Ling's hand, a faint smile on his face, and said calmly.

The combination of water element slime condensate and fire element earth dragon tendon is so powerful that it's no exaggeration to say it's like a dragon soaring into the sea.

Following the direction Gui Zhong pointed, Paimon couldn't help but choke on his saliva; just one look was enough to make him unable to tear himself away.

This must taste really good, right?

"Thank you, Xiangling. Thank you, Miss Guizhong."

Paimon excitedly took the plate from Xiangling's hand, then flew to the side and began to taste it.

Xiangling: "???"

Although she didn't understand why this was happening, she didn't think too much about it and ran to Paimon's side to observe Paimon's expression.

Let's see if this dish turned out well.

Paimon: "???"

Gui Zhong smiled, covering her face. Suddenly, as if sensing something, she quickly walked to the main gate of Zhongli Mansion and opened it.

Their eyes met, each beautiful gaze conveying a different emotion.

"Welcome, Miss Gu Yuena. Please come in."

"Hello, Miss Gui Zhong."

Gu Yuena nodded, forcing a smile onto her worried face.

Led by Gui Zhong, Gu Yuena arrived at the main hall of the mansion and quietly waited for Zhong Li to return.

That's right, Zhongli wasn't at home; he had gone out.

Around noon, Zhongli returned to his residence with Xianyun and Xiao.

"May I ask what brings Miss Gu Yuena here?"

Inside the main hall, Zhongli and Gu Yuena sat facing each other, while the others did not enter the hall but went about their own business.

Xianyun left Zhongli Mansion and flew overseas. She hadn't been to the Sun and Moon Continent for a long time and wondered if those little guys had invented anything new.

With anticipation in her heart, Xianyun flew towards the Sun and Moon Continent.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena went straight to the point, saying, "I would like to ask the Emperor to help my beast race migrate to other planets."

Zhong Li stroked his chin, lost in thought.

In the original timeline, 20,000 to 30,000 years later, the soul beasts on Douluo Star did indeed begin interstellar migration, and almost all of them left the planet.

This can be considered as preserving the last spark of the soul beast race, preventing it from becoming extinct.

Now that Gu Yuena is bringing this up tens of thousands of years ahead of time, Zhong Lishifen is surprised and is also considering the possibility of this.
