Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 597 Lineup

"Nanali, you're taking a two-week leave?" Nan Fusheng sat behind his desk, slightly raising his head, his eyes full of surprise as he looked at Nanali standing in front of him.

"Yes, senior." Nanali nodded slightly, a fleeting, almost imperceptible glint in her eyes, but she quickly composed herself and put on a cheerful expression again. "I have some personal matters to attend to, so I'd like to ask for a two-week leave."

War is now imminent, and the Ghost Emperor within the Holy Spirit Cult is frequently urging her to reunite with the Dark Phoenix as soon as possible and closely monitor the movements of the three fleets. This is the key reason why she is so eager to ask for leave.

Although she had become Fors's dog, Fors had not asked her to leave the Holy Spirit Cult or anything like that, so Nanali still wanted to do her job well.

War is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to gain power. Through war, countless negative energies and vengeful spirits will be released, and these are all valuable resources for her to break through to the Limit Douluo level.

In this world where might makes right, strength is the foundation of everything. Only by being strong enough can one have more say when facing Fors.

Nanali even harbored a bolder hope—that once she broke through to the Limit Douluo level, Fors's methods of controlling her might become ineffective. At that time, she could truly regain her freedom and no longer be manipulated by others.

As for taking revenge on Fors, Nanali was unwilling, but dared not even entertain the slightest thought. Mainly, the impression Fors had left on her was simply too terrifying; he was practically a chilling psychopath.

Meanwhile, powerful figures like Aponia and Narcida seem to be plotting a massive scheme with Fors. Add to that the likes of Qian Gu Qingfeng within the Spirit Pagoda, and their combined strength is enough to send chills down Nanali's spine.

"The power surrounding that woman is truly terrifying; she has three Limit Douluos on her side. Coupled with her own talent, she can be considered to have the combat strength of a fourth Limit Douluo."

Nanali pondered silently, and with each thought, the fear grew stronger within her. This was only what she knew so far; no one knew if Fors had any other hidden plans.

In short, Nanali can only pin all her hopes on breaking through to the Limit Douluo level, hoping to break free from Fors's control and then fly away to start a new life.

Nanali's gaze fell on Nan Fusheng, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her. "If I really manage to break free from that woman's control, then I'll take him with me too," she silently plotted.

After all, Nan Fusheng was the man who took her virginity, and this special relationship subconsciously instilled in Nanali a unique affection for him. If given the chance to leave, she wouldn't mind taking Nan Fusheng with her.

At that time, she would first try to seal Nan Fusheng's soul power, and before the Holy Spirit Cult's final plan came, she would spend a period of "human bliss" with him.

As for Nan Fusheng's wishes? That's not important. In the face of absolute power, the weak have little say.

Once the Holy Spirit Cult's grand plan succeeds, Nanali firmly believes she will have a chance to break through to the God level. At that time, she will have enough strength and time to slowly deal with Fors and avenge the humiliation she has suffered over the years.

"When the time comes, I will definitely capture Fors alive, then drug her with aphrodisiacs, and then play with Nan Fusheng in front of her. I will make that woman die of unfulfilled desire."

A fierce glint flashed in Nanali's eyes, and the hatred in her heart burned like a raging fire.

"And that Nasita, a woman who's lived for who knows how long, dares to pretend to be young and steal my man, even daring to scare me. I'll fill her with aphrodisiacs and then throw her and Fors into the same iron cage."

Thinking of these scenes of revenge, Nanali's lips curled up slightly, revealing a twisted smile, as if she had already witnessed the scene that brought her immense pleasure.

"Okay, then I agree." It wasn't until Nan Fusheng's voice came that Nanali was jolted awake from her dream.

"Okay, thank you, senior." Nanali smiled sweetly at Nan Fusheng, then turned and left.

All of that was just her fantasy. To achieve these goals, she must first break through to the Limit Douluo level and break free from Fors's control before she can have a chance to realize them.

"It seems the Holy Spirit Cult is getting impatient too."

Watching Nanali depart, Nan Fusheng fell into deep thought. The three fleets were now fully prepared, awaiting the completion of the supply shipments from the Federation, after which they could begin wars with the other two continents.

From Nan Fusheng's personal perspective, he wasn't actually that opposed to the war.

The reason is simple: if war starts, he can better achieve his goals. But at the same time, he doesn't want the war to proceed smoothly.

"Li Xiaochou and Aponia seem to be developing quite smoothly on the Douling Continent. Perhaps we can use this battle to get the three major fleets to help clean up the nobles of the Douling Continent so that they can better control it."

Yes, it's about control. The strongest person on the Douling Continent is, in the end, just a level 98 royal retainer. With Aponia's strength, dealing with him wouldn't be difficult.

However, they still need a reason. A reason that allows them to legitimately control the Douling Continent, a reason that can convince the people.

If we use Time Worms to parasitize, the process might be much simpler.

However, Aponia and her group did not choose to do that; they wanted to control the Douling Continent through their own power. And war was undoubtedly the best way to do that.

Rather than letting the Federation control the resources of the Douling Continent, Nan Fusheng felt it would be better to control them himself.

Moreover, didn't Aponia and her group previously call themselves the Apocalypse Cult? This would be a good opportunity for them to establish a religious belief on the Douling Continent, making it one of Nan Fusheng's anchor points.

This can be considered a backup plan for future advancement to Sequence One, or even Sequence Zero. After all, as the potion system increases in sequence level, it is easy for the phenomenon of "divinity outweighing humanity" to occur.

Even now, Nan Fusheng has never experienced such a situation, but it's always better to be prepared.

Furthermore, the condensation of godhood in Douluo Continent also requires the power of faith. This also serves as a prelude for other avatars who have the potential to become gods, such as Yun Ming, who once condensed half a godhood.

In conclusion, Nan Fusheng hopes for war so that he can legitimately transfer control of the Douling Continent to his clone. However, he also wants to keep the war within certain limits so as not to actually damage the Douling Continent's resources.

"We'll see later. Anyway, we can't escape the Douling Continent."

Suddenly, Nan Fusheng's eyes flashed, and then he turned his gaze to the east of Tianhai City, as if he had pierced through space.

"It's Tang Wulin and his group. Are they planning to head to the other two continents to issue a warning? Indeed, judging by the time, the three major fleets will be setting off soon. If they don't issue a warning to the other two continents as soon as possible, it will be too late."

……

The Soul Guide Train Station in Tianhai City.

Nine men and women dressed in Tianhai Academy uniforms are stepping out of the Soul Guidance Train.

"Why do we have to take the soul-guided train? It would be so much better if we just drove here." One of the long-haired youths twisted his thick neck and said somewhat uncomfortably.

The young man at the head of the group of nine, clearly their leader, said, "There have been constant military exercises around Tianhai City, making checks very troublesome, especially on various vehicles. We came by train, which takes us directly to the city center of Tianhai, where someone will naturally meet us."

Since the hawks gained absolute dominance in Parliament, military action is imminent, and various preparations for launching an expedition are underway.

All vehicles entering and leaving the area must undergo strict inspection, perhaps because the bombing of Shrek Academy by fixed-position soul-guided cannons left a shadow on the Federation.

Given their somewhat sensitive identities and the tasks they were about to undertake, it was natural for them to keep a low profile as much as possible.

After the group of nine got off the bus, the first thing they faced was a security check.

Although not as strict as vehicle security checks, a special scanning device is still used to perform a full scan.

After passing the scan without incident, the group was finally allowed to enter Tianhai City.

The young man leading the way was none other than Tang Wulin, and the eight people who came with him were Aruheng, Sima Jinchi, Long Yuxue, Jiang Wuyue, Xie Xie, Yuanen Yehui, Le Zhengyu, and Liu Ruyan.

Among them, Aruheng, the senior disciple of the Body Sect, volunteered to join because he had often sparred with Tang Wulin in the Star Dou Battle Network All-Federation Challenge and later in Tian Dou City. After they gradually developed feelings for each other, he joined the group.

As for Sima Jinchi, the humanoid Dragon-Slaying Blade, he completely transformed into Tang Wulin's shape after realizing that he was the blade spirit of the Dragon-Slaying Blade.

Long Yuxue and Jiang Wuyue were Tang Wulin's good friends from his time in the Blood God Legion, and were also members of the Blood Dragon Squad that Xue Yi arranged for him.

As for Xie Xie and the others, there's not much to say. They returned to join Tang Wulin after completing their respective legion training.

Liu Ruyan is Yue Zhengyu's girlfriend. Yue Zhengyu originally thought that she had died in the Shrek City explosion, but unexpectedly, Liu Ruyan happened to be in the underground shelter at that time and successfully avoided death.

When he saw Liu Ruyan, Le Zhengyu was incredibly excited.

Taking a soul-guided taxi, Tang Wulin and his group of nine arrived at a medium-sized hotel in the center of Tianhai City and checked in.

After settling his companions in, Tang Wulin returned to his room, where the Amorous Douluo Zang Xin was already waiting.

"Your Majesty," Tang Wulin bowed to Zang Xin.

Zang Xin also stood up, "Sect Master."

Tang Wulin smiled wryly and said, "I'm still not quite used to it."

After Tang Wulin defeated the Abyss Saint King in the Blood God Legion and expressed his determination to stop the war, the Ruthless Douluo Cao Dezhi handed him the token of the Tang Sect Master and announced that he had officially become the Tang Sect Master.

Even now, when Tang Wulin recalls it all, it all feels somewhat unreal. However, he is also well aware of the Ruthless Douluo's considerations; he wanted to increase the Douluo's own importance.

After all, the status of a student at Shrek Academy is completely incomparable to that of the Tang Sect Master.

With his status as the leader of the Tang Clan, when Tang Wulin travels to the other two continents, even the emperors of those continents will have to think carefully before speaking to him.

Cao Dezhi's decision to appoint Tang Wulin as the Tang Sect Master was naturally based on his own considerations. Tang Wulin had already demonstrated his strength and potential to the fullest when facing the Abyss Saint King.

With the blessing of the Seed of the Plane and the Lord of the Plane, Tang Wulin is destined to become a top expert in the future. In addition, his martial soul is the Blue Silver Emperor, so Cao Dezhi chose to bet on Tang Wulin.

Meanwhile, upon learning that Tang Wulin was already the leader of the Tang Sect, Long Yeyue, the Light and Dark Douluo who appeared out of nowhere, hurriedly announced that Tang Wulin would serve as the leader of the Sea God Pavilion.

Long Yeyue's actions were aimed at completely binding Tang Wulin to Shrek Academy's cause.

After all, Yun Ming has disappeared again, and they need someone to take charge. Tang Wulin, as the current leader of the Shrek Seven Devils, is fully qualified for this position.

In other words, although Tang Wulin's cultivation level is only that of a Soul Saint, his status is extremely high.

He is the head of the Sea God Pavilion and the head of the Tang Sect, as well as the honorary deputy commander of the Blood God Legion, a major general in the Federation, codenamed Pierce (crossed out)... codenamed Blood Dragon.

"You'll get used to it eventually. We're departing in three days, and all the preparations are complete," Zang Xin said succinctly.

Tang Wulin said, "Although I don't know how you did it, I truly admire you. I heard that the docks have been closed for a long time, and no merchant ships are allowed to go to the Douling Empire and the Xingluo Empire."

"All information regarding those two continents has been blocked. How did you conjure up a giant ocean liner heading there?"

Zang Xin smiled slightly, "If the Tang Clan can't even handle this much in its three-region operations, then all our ten thousand years of development have been in vain. You'll see when the time comes. This operation is of utmost importance; the Douling and Xingluo kingdoms are counting on you."

Tang Wulin nodded. "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will do my utmost. For the Tang Sect, for Shrek Academy, and for the millions of ordinary people. No matter what, we must do everything we can to avoid this great war."

Zang Xin said, "Everything is proceeding according to plan. Once we get there, our people will be there to meet us."

Tang Wulin said, "Alright. Your Majesty, is there anything else you wish to instruct me to do?"

After a moment's thought, Zang Xin said, "There's another point. You can't just send over the weapons we provide. You also need to ensure, as far as possible, that these weapons won't actually be used against the Federation army. Otherwise, the Tang Clan will be the culprits."

"The conflicts between the Douling Empire, the Xingluo Empire, and the Federation have a long history. If they suddenly acquire these powerful weapons and use them for attack instead of deterrence, it will inevitably cause heavy losses to the Federation's army. This is something we do not want to see. Maintaining a balance in this situation is very important."

"Although the Tang Sect wields considerable influence on both the Douling and Xingluo continents, it's not impossible for some radical factions to launch a direct war. Therefore, we must not hesitate to establish our authority when necessary. We need to make them understand that we can support them, and we can also bring about their destruction."
