Douluo Continent: The Myriad Body of Truth and Falsehood

Chapter 122 Political Situation is Changing

Dragon King Legend Timeline

Originally the border of the Star Dou Great Forest, now the plains outside Shrek City

The first peace talks between the Douluo Federation and the Star Dou Soul Beasts officially began. The two armies halted about ten kilometers away, both armies standing ready, their dark ranks appearing particularly solemn and heavy on the vast plain.

"Silver Dragon King".

Surprisingly, the person representing the interests of the Federation in negotiating with the soul beasts was a young woman. Judging from her demeanor, she had just taken up the position of Speaker. The Federation had also undergone tremendous changes due to the destruction of Shrek Academy, with many councilors stepping down. She had become an emerging force in this transformation.

"What advice do you have?" Gu Yuena asked calmly.

"We are willing to relinquish the land of the ancient Star Dou Great Forest and promise to use all of the Federation's soul-guided technology to help you restore the forest. However..."

"No buts." Gu Yuena abruptly interrupted, her voice carrying an undeniable authority: "This is the compensation you should give."

Mo Lan shook his head with a wry smile: "You misunderstand. As a representative of the Federation, I am not asking the soul beasts to do anything. I just want to ask you a question."

"speak."

"What is your relationship with the Corpse of Law?" Mo Lan finally spoke, even though the Silver Dragon King's gaze was gradually cooling, he still couldn't help but want to find out.

However, the expected scene of the Silver Dragon King flying into a rage and overturning the negotiating table when Wanye and Fashi were mentioned did not occur.

Upon closer inspection, her face revealed only calm and determination: "We serve the Lord and will always be His capable subordinates."

The Federation has always wanted to figure out the relationship between soul beasts and magic corpses. During the war of cause and effect, Di Tian and other ferocious beasts stood on top of the corpse horde; on that day, the nameless magic corpse descended with the help of Di Tian.

Although it was already suspected that the relationship between the soul beasts and the corpses was extremely close, no one expected that even the soul beast, which might be a god-level soul beast ruler, would be under the control of Wanye, which made people gasp in shock.

Originally, it was thought that there was a major conflict between soul beasts and magic corpses. Nirvana corpses do not only absorb the soul power of soul masters, but soul beasts are no exception. If there is a rift between the two, soul beasts are an object that can be won over, especially now that a soul beast overlord has appeared, who seems to be at the level of a god. Naturally, they should try their best to win him over.

Given the Silver Dragon King's attitude, Mo Lan was at a loss for words. The conflict between soul beasts and humans was as insignificant as dust compared to the conflict between the Dharma Corpse and the Myriad Businesses.

This Lord of Soul Beasts was not a greedy person. After agreeing to the Federation's condition of restoring the ancient Star Dou Great Forest, he stopped there and did not make any excessive demands as in the original story.

"Let's end this topic here. After humanity returns the land to the Star Dou Great Forest, no one may set foot in it for a hundred years. This is our requirement. You and I both know that no matter what ambitions you or we have, whether it's annihilating humanity, slaughtering soul beasts, or even unifying the entire Douluo Continent, we cannot bypass our Lord. He is the one who decides the future. You and I are just fish following the tide of this great era, trying to survive the turbulent waves."

Mo Lan remained silent, watching Gu Yuena slowly leave.

The Star Dou Great Forest will become a forbidden area for humans in the future. The soul beasts have already served under Wan Ye. Seeing that the Soul Beast Lord is resolute and has no intention of resisting, it is impossible to win him over.

"It seems I have no choice but to seek help from the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire," she thought to herself.

Two days later

Shrek Suburbs

The Vast Ocean Douluo Chen Xinjie, dressed in a black robe with shadows covering his face, gazed into the distance. Moonlight spilled across the earth, illuminating the Shrek City that was being rebuilt in the distance. His movements were slightly stiff, indicating that his injuries had not yet healed and were quite serious, but he still managed to get there in the dark.

"Han Hai Douluo, I have long heard of your great name. You were able to withstand a punishment of causality and were able to move again in just two days. You are considered one of the best among Limit Douluos." A crack appeared in the void, and Di Tian stepped out. Di Tian stepped out, his figure shrouded in the night like a ghost. His words carried a hint of praise.

Chen Xinjie's gaze was icy: "I didn't come here injured to listen to this. Where is he?"

"I already sent someone to secretly deliver a message. Since you're in such a hurry, then let me ask you, where are the level 12 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells?" Di Tian's tone was even colder as he stood in mid-air, looking down at the enemy: "I haven't seen any sincerity from you."

Chen Xinjie waved his hand: "I need to confirm whether Long Yeyue is still alive!"

With his old flame's safety at stake, Chen Xinjie seemed rather impatient.

Di Tian frowned slightly, remained silent for a moment, and then waved his hand behind him. Some spatial fluctuations came from the spatial rift again, and two or three figures walked out from it. The Demon King and Xiong Jun appeared here, escorting Long Yeyue.

Long Yeyue was currently restrained, her aura was waning, and although Biji had healed her external injuries, her internal injuries remained at a certain level, leaving her with little ability to resist.

"Moon." Chen Xinjie felt a pang of regret and heartache when he saw Long Yeyue's current state.

Long Yeyue slowly opened her eyes and saw an old acquaintance. She was furious: "What are you doing here? Get out! If you dare to agree to their conditions, even if you redeem me, I will kill myself in front of you."

As a senior member of Shrek Academy, even more senior than Yun Ming, Long Yeyue once smashed the Spirit Pagoda in a fit of anger, slapping the current Spirit Pagoda Master. Long Yeyue's pride was higher than anyone else's. However, in the Shrek Academy's annihilation battle, she was the only Title Douluo who survived, but as a prisoner.

She once possessed an indelible pride, but now she is forced to submit to the enemy's prison.

Di Tian waved his hand, and Long Yeyue was escorted back again: "With Bi Ji here, and her true form being an emerald swan, this old woman won't die. Three days. In three days, I need level 12 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells."

The latest novel is first published here!

"That's impossible. The Level 12 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell is of great importance. The Federation has long realized its own inadequacy and has deployed heavy troops to guard it. Even I have no chance of stealing the Level 12 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell within three days." Chen Xinjie gritted his teeth, his gaze towards Di Tian filled with hatred.

"This is your business. As the Lord of the Temple of War and the Commander of the Sea God Legion, you will have your own methods and solutions. If you don't see a level 12 cannon shell in three days, she is dead."

"How dare you!" Chen Xinjie roared.

Di Tian glanced at Chen Xinjie but did not stop walking away. Before disappearing, he said nonchalantly, "Why wouldn't I dare? If you want to start another war, I would be happy to. Even if it costs the lives of a million soul beasts and humans to call again, as long as my lord returns, you will have no ability to resist."

Chen Xinjie was grinding his teeth to powder, but it was just impotent rage; he truly had no other options. Di Tian's words were like a bombshell, bringing endless fear and a sense of powerlessness.

If the Lord of Nirvana were to descend again, even just once, the disaster it would bring to humanity would be far more terrifying than a level 12 fixed-position soul-guided cannon.

Many in the Federation were already speculating whether the power of the Level 12 fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs would be enough to annihilate Wan Ye. However, when they saw Wan Ye take action to withstand a hundred Level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs, everyone trembled and subconsciously shook their heads.

Under intense pressure, the Federation sees no chance of victory, and some are already considering surrendering.

Rumors spread among the people, and society became unsettled.

Ordinary people who haven't awakened their martial souls especially yearn for Wanye, because Wanye's arrival gives them another chance: the martial soul lineage is broken, and supernatural powers descend.

Soul Masters will no longer be created; the era of Seekers of the Law will begin.

Unfortunately, the aptitude for seeking the Dharma awakens randomly and is extremely rare. Even if both parents are seekers of the Dharma, there is a very high probability that their child will not possess the aptitude for seeking the Dharma.

Meanwhile, those Soul Master nobles who rely on their families and bloodlines to monopolize social resources and consolidate their status are already in a state of utter chaos. It is foreseeable that Soul Masters will completely decline in the next few decades.
