Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 554 Reactions from All Parties

P.S. Sorry for the late update today.

Emperor Xingluo wasn't angry; he was just unwilling to accept it.

Since Emperor Xingluo ascended the throne, it has always been the Xingluo Empire that has dragged him down. He never expected that he would also drag down his own empire. As proud as Emperor Xingluo is, this is what he cannot accept.

Dai Mubai glanced at the Star Luo Emperor, shrugged, and casually said, "If Father is unwilling, he can join forces with the Heaven Dou Empire. The Heaven Dou Empire has many powerful figures, whether they are the three major sects in name only or the lesser-known rogue cultivators. They can all take my place and protect Father. I think Father understands this much better than I do!"

"This matter must not be mentioned again!" Upon hearing this, the Star Luo Emperor coldly snorted and said in a chilling tone, "Star Luo and Heavenly Dou have been enemies for generations; there is absolutely no possibility of them joining forces!"

Seeing this, Dai Mubai gave a noncommittal snort and said nothing more.

Dai Mubai was just saying it casually; he didn't think the Star Luo Emperor would approve of his suggestion at all.

The current Star Luo Emperor's thought is still to overpower the Martial Soul Empire, then sweep across the Heaven Dou Empire, and finally unify the continent, becoming the first emperor in the history of the continent!

Of course, it's also possible to temporarily join forces with the Heaven Dou Empire to subdue the Spirit Empire and then turn around and attack the Heaven Dou Empire.

However, Emperor Xingluo was getting old. If it were ten years earlier—or even five years ago—Emperor Xingluo wouldn't have cared about such insignificant virtues and reputation. But now Emperor Xingluo understood that his time on the throne was short. Because of Dai Mubai's excellence, he didn't have much time to deal with the public opinion.

The Star Luo Emperor wanted to be the supreme emperor, that's true, but not through conspiracies and tricks!

He wants a perfect imperial throne, the kind with immeasurable merit!

If Han Feng knew what the Star Luo Emperor was thinking, he would definitely know what he wanted!

The Star Luo Emperor wants to be Qin Shi Huang!

He wanted even more than Qin Shi Huang; he wanted the best, both in life and after death!

Therefore, the current Xingluo Emperor is not credible.

Only when the Star Luo Empire is on the verge of collapse and facing a life-or-death crisis will the Star Luo Emperor abandon this unrealistic fantasy!

By then, there will be no need for Dai Mubai to offer any advice; the Star Luo Emperor will make the right choice on his own!

Thinking of this, Dai Mubai felt it was a bit boring to stay here any longer. He put his hands behind his head, didn't bother to say goodbye to the Star Luo Emperor, and hummed a little tune as he headed towards the Star Luo Ancestral Land. Dai Mubai obtained the Heavenly Fiend Inheritance in the Star Luo Ancestral Land. Although the Star Luo Ancestral Land was full of traces of the God of War, it could indeed help Dai Mubai cultivate.

Dai Mubai knew that Han Feng was probably secretly cultivating at this time, and he didn't want to fall too far behind Han Feng!

Ever since meeting Han Feng and discovering that Han Feng had surpassed him by a great deal, Dai Mubai has been eager to become stronger!

As for the Star Luo Emperor's side...

Of course, Dai Mubai couldn't stay by his side all day long. If the Star Luo Emperor didn't want to, Dai Mubai couldn't either!

The Star Luo Emperor has a mark of malevolent energy belonging to Dai Mubai. Dai Mubai can sense any powerful figure approaching the Star Luo Emperor, so there is no need to worry too much.

Emperor Xingluo, seated on his throne, watched Dai Mubai's carefree departure, his face grim. Only as Dai Mubai was about to leave the palace did Emperor Xingluo finally speak, shouting, "Mubai! You may not believe it! But everything I've done today is for you!"

"My life is but a hundred years, but you are a descendant of the gods, truly destined to be an emperor of long and prosperous reign!"

"The Star Luo Empire must unify the continent!"

"Even a hundred years from now, the one sitting on this throne, looking down upon all living beings, must be a member of the Dai family, if not me!"

Unfortunately, the Star Luo Emperor's impassioned speech did not stop Dai Mubai's steps even for a moment!

Regardless of whether what the Star Luo Emperor said is true or false, even if it is true, so what?

If Dai Mubai weren't a successor of a god, it wouldn't matter if he didn't know Han Feng. But after witnessing the vast world of the gods, to be honest, he didn't have much desire for a mere Douluo.

Dai Mubai doesn't have the same obsession as Bibi Dong!

If Han Feng can scoff at the supreme power that is within his grasp, wouldn't Dai Mubai be at a disadvantage if he were to hold a grudge against it?

Moreover, Dai Mubai has no fatherly affection for the Star Luo Emperor. Dai Mubai believes that the Star Luo Emperor must feel the same way. These words are less an expectation from a father to his son and more a communication of goals between two generations of heirs.

Unifying the continent is the goal of the reigning emperor, Emperor Xingluo, but not the goal of Crown Prince Dai Mubai!

From the very beginning, Dai Mubai's reason for wanting to inherit the Star Luo throne was to crush that barbaric method of inheritance!

By the time the Star Luo Emperor finished speaking, Dai Mubai had already turned the corner and never looked back.

Emperor Xingluo's face grew increasingly gloomy, but he ultimately did not stop Dai Mubai. In the end, the pillar supporting the Xingluo Empire and the golden beam spanning the sea was no longer him, the emperor, but Dai Mubai, the crown prince. In short, Emperor Xingluo no longer had the power to fall out with Dai Mubai!

Meanwhile, as the two behemoths, the Spirit Empire and the Star Luo Empire, clashed, the continent was unexpectedly unusually quiet.

The Heavenly Dou Empire remained silent, the Three Upper Sects remained silent, and the numerous small kingdoms remained silent as well.

The Haotian Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect are still the same old problem. When the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had its troubles, they didn't utter a single word, so it's even less likely they will now.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has officially withdrawn from the mainland stage. Although it still has some strength left, Ning Fengzhi, with his cunning and shrewdness, naturally knows that this is just part of Han Feng's plan. Unless Han Feng asks the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to take action, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would be better off keeping a low profile and playing the loser, waiting for the situation on the mainland to become clearer.

The Heaven Dou Empire is quite interesting.

The Heaven Dou Empire is not without wise men; they understand the principle of mutual dependence. Once the Star Luo Empire falls under the iron hooves of the Spirit Empire, the Heaven Dou Empire will surely perish!

But the problem is, there are also quite a few parasites in the Heavenly Dou Empire!

The same problem persisted: the ministers and nobles were in a state of chaos, with some advocating war and others surrender, some wanting to wait and see and others wanting to profit from the situation. They argued haphazardly for a long time without reaching a conclusion, and Emperor Xueke lacked the decisive power to make a final decision.

As a result, the Heavenly Dou Empire was caught in an endless cycle of negotiations, with one side gaining a little more today and another side gaining a little more tomorrow, and no conclusion could be reached.

By the time they come to a conclusion, the Spirit Hall will probably already be at their doorstep!

As for the rest of the smaller kingdoms...

They've come to realize that they have no chance of dominating the continent, and their team has already missed its best opportunity. They might as well lie down obediently and wait for the Star Luo Empire and the Martial Soul Empire to settle their differences before becoming opportunists and surrendering their entire nation. At least they'll still have a chance to survive!

Only the Star Luo Empire and the Martial Soul Empire are qualified to unify the continent; even the Heaven Dou Empire is not qualified!

Why are these little ants getting involved when they're supposed to be gods and immortals?

The splattered blood could drown them!

Many academies, led by Shrek Academy, were indignant about this, but they could only cheer for the Star Luo Empire in order to protest against the Spirit Empire.

After all, it's just an academy; the main body is still the students. You can't send these half-finished students to the battlefield, can you?

However, the strongest reaction actually came from within the Spirit Empire itself.

What Dai Mubai could think of, the titled Douluo of the Spirit Empire could naturally think of as well. Since the start of the war, calls for decapitation strikes have never ceased.

Qian Daoliu did not stop them, letting these titled Douluo shout as they pleased.

In any case, as long as Dai Mubai doesn't appear on the front lines, these shrewd people won't take this risk!

At most, he could vent his anger on the front lines, but due to the numerous Martial Soul Fusion Techniques, even a Title Douluo might not be able to gain the upper hand. All Qian Daoliu needed to do was restrain Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Everything is under control!
