Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 179 is too radical.

The capital of the Heavenly Soul Empire is Tiandou City.

Arriving at this giant city that has existed for over ten thousand years, Xu Tianran was filled with emotion.

He had naturally imagined himself setting foot here one day.

But I never imagined that I would arrive here under such circumstances.

Because of Huo Yuhao's instructions, they faced this caravan from the Sun Moon Empire.

Even though the people of the Heavenly Soul Empire harbored disgust and hatred, no one came to cause trouble.

After all, Huo Yuhao, who now possesses the strength to easily suppress two Limit Douluo, can be considered the strongest person on the Douluo Continent.

In addition, there is the power of the Body Sect, the national guardian sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire, behind it.

Naturally, no one dared to hinder Huo Yuhao's plans at this critical juncture.

After all, with the convoys of the other three great empires entering the city, the titled experts of the Body Sect are watching closely, both openly and secretly.

Perhaps even that person...

After all, apart from the fact that he has not yet revealed his divine position, most people suspect that Huo Yuhao has already obtained the inheritance of a certain god.

Thus they embarked on the path to godhood, or perhaps they had already completed the trials to become gods and were only one step away from ascending to the divine realm.

Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to explain where its formidable combat power came from, given what is recorded in ancient books.

The power displayed in the great battle between the three gods ten thousand years ago was not much different from Huo Yuhao's ten-thousand-foot true form before.

Aside from Emperor Xu Tianran of the Sun Moon Empire coming in person, Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Star Luo Empire also made no delays this time.

After all, Huo Yuhao had the two most outstanding Limit Douluos of the current era.

And the Holy Spirit Cult behind it, as the chicken used to scare the monkey.

Even the most foolish emperor would understand that no matter how strong or where they hid, they could hardly escape Huo Yuhao's grasp.

Perhaps the emperor would feel resentful, but for the emperors of the three kingdoms of Sun Moon Empire, Star Luo Empire, and Dou Ling Empire today...

The royal family behind them, and the state's supporters, would not allow them to offend such a terrifyingly powerful figure.

After all, Huo Yuhao is truly willing to help when needed. Isn't the Holy Spirit Cult a prime example of being eradicated completely?

The heads of all the elders of the Holy Spirit Cult are still displayed on the city walls of Tiandou City.

The other members of the Holy Spirit Cult have all disappeared without a trace, and anyone can guess where they went.

How did Huo Yuhao capture and kill them, or how did he meticulously uncover the truth about so many people?

No one can say for sure, and the unknown is often the most frightening thing.

Perhaps the conflict between nations may ultimately end with the destruction of a nation's royal family.

But even with the power of a single nation.

However, searching for those who have disappeared into the countryside and are connected to the royal family under assumed names is extremely difficult.

This is the source of Xu Jiawei's confidence in ultimately choosing to die bravely in the face of the threat from the Sun Moon Empire.

Even if he dies in Star Luo City, the Star Crown lineage will not be destroyed.

Ultimately, future generations will only praise his integrity as the last emperor of the Xingluo dynasty.

But if even the family bloodline is completely destroyed, then who is this integrity meant for?

Compared to Xu Tianran and Xu Jiawei, who each had their own plans at the moment.

The other emperor of the Douling Empire who arrived with them seemed rather timid and hesitant at this moment.

Beside him was a Super Douluo with a soul power of level 97.

At this moment, this Super Douluo was unabashedly releasing his soul power aura to reveal his identity.

Upon seeing the Douling Empire Emperor's unseemly behavior, the Douling Empire's Grand Elder, Tianyang Douluo, raised an eyebrow.

He slapped him squarely on the shoulder: "Watch your step! Don't embarrass our Douling Empire!"

The Emperor of the Douling Empire forced a smile that was more like a grimace and nodded.

He had previously gone to find Tianyang Douluo, naturally hoping to ask this Grand Elder to lend him support.

However, news came that Huo Yuhao had killed two Limit Douluos.

Even Tianyang Douluo, who always valued his seniority and cultivation, understood the current situation.

Even though the emperor of the Douling Empire was somewhat unwilling, Tianyang Douluo still brought him here.

As the supreme deity of the nation, Tianyang Douluo's primary responsibility is to ensure the continuation of the bloodline of the Douling Empire's royal family.

As for whether the power of the Douling Empire will ultimately fall into other hands during this meeting.

To put it bluntly, in the current situation, it's already a miracle to survive. Where do we get the confidence to hope for more?

When Xu Tianran and Xu Jiawei saw each other, they first nodded politely as a greeting.

Both of them were quite shrewd and their demeanor and manners were much better than those of the Emperor of the Douling Empire standing beside them.

Xu Jiawei spoke with a faint smile on his face, appearing nonchalant.

"Since you've all met, let's go inside together."

Xu Tianran stood tall and straight, glancing slightly to the side; he was not in a wheelchair at this moment.

Instead, he gained the ability to move by using a special soul-guided prosthetic limb.

At this moment, his aura was much stronger than Xu Jiawei's.

It seemed to subtly suppress both the emperors of the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire.

Although the convoy sent to Tiandou City by the three kingdoms was quite large, most of them were servants.

Only the Grand Masters of the three great empires were truly qualified to accompany the three emperors to the meeting.

The six of them soon arrived at a council hall in the palace, led by a powerful member of the Body Sect.

To their surprise, there weren't many other people present.

As they had expected, since Huo Yuhao had chosen the Heavenly Soul Empire as his home ground.

Therefore, most of the people who come to discuss matters will definitely be from the Heavenly Soul Empire itself.

However, besides Huo Yuhao, the only other people here are Du Busi and the emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Moreover, judging from the situation, it is clear that Huo Yuhao is the only person who can lead this meeting.

The reason why Poison Immortal and the Emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire came was perhaps more for the sake of outward legitimacy.

Upon seeing the six people arrive, Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "Since you've all come, please take your seats."

He didn't even get up to greet him, but faced with his behavior, the six of them could only greet him with smiles.

After the titled Douluo from the Body Sect who had previously led the way left, the hall doors closed, and the meeting officially began.

"I hope you will all set aside past grievances and unconditionally merge the Heavenly Soul Empire, the Fighting Spirit Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the Sun Moon Empire. What do you all think?"

Hearing Huo Yuhao's explosive remarks, the expressions on the faces of the others became somewhat tense.

Xu Jiawei forced himself to speak, "Mr. Huo Yuhao's words are probably biased."

"The conflicts between the major empires have been protracted for a long time, and it is by no means something that we few can decide."

"The common people and soldiers have accumulated countless blood feuds over the past thousands of years."

"Even we cannot control people from simply letting go of the hatred in their hearts."

Xu Tianran nodded in agreement, saying, "If a ceasefire is needed to restore peace, I believe the four great empires can still achieve it."

"But if we skip this step directly, then regardless of the differences in customs and traditions of the four great empires..."

"Or perhaps there are numerous internal factions, neither of which can be resolved in a short period of time."

At this moment, the others thought Huo Yuhao's idea was just wishful thinking.

Or perhaps Huo Yuhao, despite possessing immense strength, is merely a figurehead.

However, I had never encountered anything like this before.

That's why he said such absurd things.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao simply smiled and glanced at everyone present with a calm gaze.

To be honest, even Huo Yuhao's side, including the Emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire and Du Busi, were somewhat apprehensive.

After all, just as Xu Tianran and Xu Jiawei said, Huo Yuhao's proposal was nothing short of a pipe dream in their eyes.

"Ultimately, it's a problem of domestic factions and public opinion, not the ordinary people."

At this point, Huo Yuhao didn't continue, but just looked at everyone with an ambiguous gaze.

Faced with Huo Yuhao's gaze, the group involuntarily turned their heads away.

After all, even though they were the rulers of a country, they could only control the power and direction of the nobility to a certain extent.

They are merely the leaders of this country, but this country is by no means their personal fiefdom.

The network of interests among the nobility was deeply entrenched and extremely difficult to shake.

If the four great empires were to unify, the existing aristocratic system would inevitably be impacted.

Then, the first to secretly oppose them, or even take physical action, will inevitably be those noble families.

Even the royal family forces behind them might lose control at that time.

Therefore, rather than pursuing a seemingly more radical unification, they still want to try again.

Even Xu Jiawei, the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, which was invaded in this war, now stood on the same side as Xu Tianran.

"Since that's the case, then let's kill them." Huo Yuhao uttered these words casually, yet they sent a chill down everyone's spine.

What percentage of the total population in each country are nobles?

"Excluding individual Soul Masters who obtain noble titles and status because of their Soul Master status."

"Nowadays, those who have formed factions or even established powerful families probably account for only about one percent, right?"

Huo Yuhao's cold words made the group realize something.

That is, Huo Yuhao truly doesn't care how far-fetched this idea is when it's put into practice.

At the same time, they completely disregard the chain reaction that would result from eliminating those in power.

"A snake cannot function without a head, no matter how many aspects they are involved in."

"But when a person dies, the debt is settled; let's deal with the very top-level group."

"Even if it causes chaos, it won't be too difficult to handle. We should just make a clean break."

"And how to fill the power vacuum, I don't think I need to teach you, do I?"

"There is only one thing I want, and that is the complete unity of mankind, that they act according to my will."

The Emperor of the Douling Empire said in a trembling voice, "Madman, you're a madman!"

Upon hearing his insolent words, Tianyang Douluo's expression darkened, and a burst of soul power emanated from his body.

Finally, they knocked out the Douling Empire's emperor, who was still muttering to himself.

Immediately, Tianyang Douluo stood up and apologized to Huo Yuhao.

"I apologize, Your Majesty has misspoke. I suppose you are exhausted from your long journey."

"Please grant us some time until our emperor recovers before making a decision."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao simply shook his head: "With Lord Tianyang Douluo here, it's the same."

"Since the Emperor of Douling cannot make a decision, then let Your Excellency offer your opinion."

"In my opinion, there isn't much of a problem."

Upon hearing this, Tianyang Douluo sighed inwardly and then sat down again.

Although he already possessed the cultivation level of a level 97 Super Douluo.

But ultimately, it grew step by step with the support of the Douling Empire.

The original factions and structure of the Douling Empire had long been deeply rooted in his heart over the years.

Even though he had the ability to implement various reforms, he was always unable to make up his mind.

Huo Yuhao's current remarks are no longer about so-called reform, but about a fundamental reshuffling.

If the emperors of the four great empires were unwilling.

Tianyang Douluo believed that even without the emperors of the four great empires as the people in charge of purging them, he could still achieve his goals.

However, Huo Yuhao will not stop this extremely radical plan, but will instead select a new agent.

"Since that's the case, I've said my piece. Who agrees, and who disagrees?"

For a moment, the huge conference hall was completely silent.

No one dared to be the first to speak, not even the emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Although Huo Yuhao had already informed him beforehand, he still felt somewhat suffocated at this moment.

As time ticked by, the atmosphere in the hall grew increasingly somber.

Just as everyone was pretending not to hear, Xu Tianran spoke up.

"I agree."

This ruthless man finally made up his mind, or rather, he had already thought it through from the beginning.

The suggestion Huo Yuhao made was undoubtedly the one that would minimize his losses.

Even though he lost his status as emperor, he could still retain more power than millions of others.

As for those members of the royal family and nobility who might become mere skeletons in this transformation...

In Xu Tianran's eyes, they were never anything special.

The reason he hadn't spoken for so long was simply to conceal his ambition.

Since everyone else is hesitant, let him be the first to step forward.

After all, he had already realized that under Huo Yuhao's absolute power...

Even if they have other ideas, they would find it extremely difficult to implement them.

Hearing Xu Tianran be the first to agree, Xu Jiawei sighed silently in his heart.

What Xu Tianran could consider, he naturally considered as well.

However, compared to Xu Tianran's ruthlessness, he was always unable to make up his mind, which is why he was a step behind.

Now that Xu Tianran has made his statement, the others naturally have no choice but to make a decision.

The Emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire and Xu Jiawei expressed their approval.

Ultimately, the decision regarding the Heavenly Sun Douluo was made on behalf of the Emperor of the Douling Empire.

"In that case, let's begin."

Four beams of spiritual light flew out from Huo Yuhao's body and were immediately imprinted in the spiritual seas of the four people.

"You can contact me as long as you have something in your heart. If there are any stubborn people, leave them to me."
