Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 308 Regent of the Sun and Moon, Xu Tianran

If we were to ask who was the most fearful person during the years that Douling and Xingluo were fighting, it would undoubtedly be the emperor of the Tianhun Empire.

As the war between the two great empires intensified, Emperor Tianhun was extremely anxious and almost rushed into the rain to shout, "Stop fighting!"

If the fighting continues, the Sun Moon Empire will invade!

The useless Shrek Academy has already fallen. If the Douling Empire and the Xingluo Empire were still fighting to the death at this time, this continent would really have to be renamed the Sun and Moon Continent. Fortunately, the Douling Empire is still relatively rational (weak and poor) and the Xingluo Empire is still relatively restrained. Otherwise, Emperor Tianhun would have to consider whether to run away with his feet in advance.

So what if they look down on soul tools? The fact is, even if they joined forces, they couldn't defeat the Sun Moon Empire!

the other side.

Xu Tianran's feelings were complicated.

The old emperor of the Sun Moon Empire is nearing his end, and recently he has become so weak that he can't even get out of bed. All affairs of the Sun Moon Empire have been handed over to Xu Tianran. Under Xu Tianran's half-coercion and half-persuasion, the old emperor also made Xu Tianran sit in the position of regent.

He knew that his son had great ambitions and wanted to lead the Sun Moon Empire to new heights.

But there was nothing he could do. The old emperor was rather cautious and didn't have many years left to live. In his final days, he wanted to relax a bit and at least ensure that he wouldn't make any major mistakes while he was on the throne.

I do not seek a saintly reputation, but a virtuous one.

It was precisely because of this mentality that Xu Tianran described him as: more capable of maintaining the status quo than of making progress.

If Xu Tianran hadn't directly or indirectly eliminated too many members of the royal family in the struggle for the throne, and if his disability hadn't made his position somewhat unstable, he would have even considered sending the old emperor to his death and forcibly seizing the throne through a father-son resignation.

It's too long to wait!

Especially during the period when the Douling Empire and the Xingluo Empire were at war, if Xu Tianran hadn't been out of power and unable to control the affairs of the court at that time, he would have already secretly destroyed the three empires in one fell swoop.

If the Heavenly Soul Emperor was overjoyed to hear the news of the ceasefire between Douling and Xingluo, then Xu Tianran was left with only deep regret after learning the news.

It was precisely because of his regrets and dissatisfaction that he forced the old emperor to relinquish power and took the position of regent ahead of schedule.

The thing Xu Tianran regretted the most was his alliance with the Holy Spirit Cult. Such an alliance was not something that could be achieved overnight. Several years ago, Xu Tianran had already begun to secretly contact this evil soul master organization, hoping to use their power to fight against Shrek Academy.

The Holy War four thousand years ago was lost because Shrek Academy interfered, which led to the defeat of the Sun Moon Empire, which was always overshadowed by Shrek Academy.

Xu Tianran had to be on guard.

The Holy Spirit Cult is powerful enough to confront Shrek Academy head-on without any problem. As long as the Holy Spirit Cult can hold Shrek back, the Sun Moon Empire's army can be invincible on the main battlefield of the four empires.

To Xu Tianran's surprise, Shrek Academy was actually quite useless!

The Holy Spirit Cult hadn't even made a move yet, and Shrek Academy had already collapsed on its own!

If Jing Hongchen could find out about something, Xu Tianran could naturally find out about it too. When he learned that Shrek Academy was almost deserted, Xu Tianran's feelings were indescribable.

If I had known Shrek Academy was this useless, why would I have bothered to team up with the evil spirit masters?

Moreover, Shrek Academy's case served as a warning to Xu Tianran: once his alliance with evil spirit masters is exposed, his reputation will be worse than that of a rat in a sewer, given the cautionary tale.

Even Shrek Academy, renowned throughout the continent, was quickly scorned by the entire continent after its connection with evil spirit masters was exposed. If Xu Tianran's cooperation with the Holy Spirit Cult were exposed, the backlash would only be greater.

At that time, let alone unifying the Douluo Continent, he might even be kicked off the throne!

"The Holy Spirit Cult..." Xu Tianran's eyes narrowed slightly. His first thought was to sever all ties with the Holy Spirit Cult. The powerful Holy Spirit Cult was undoubtedly a double-edged sword. If he could use it, it could not only do many shady things for him, but also fight against the powerful figures of the Douluo Three Kingdoms. However, evil soul masters were not so easy to deal with. If he tried to use them, he might be used in return, or even turn against him.

Shrek Academy has declined, and the Douluo Three Kingdoms are like grasshoppers in autumn, their days numbered. The Holy Spirit Cult's assistance is clearly no longer of much use. Rather than risking a backlash, it's better to proactively eliminate them...

In this way, they can take advantage of Shrek Academy's negative publicity to criticize them while simultaneously boosting their own reputation.

By then...

Shrek Academy, colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult and harboring evil, is turning a blind eye to by the Douluo Three Kingdoms, which is already courting death! The Sun Moon Empire, which is purging evil soul masters, is truly destined by heaven, and unifying the continent is an inevitable trend!

Hmph hmph hmph~

A chilling laugh echoed, and Xu Tianran's lips twisted into a Nike smirk as he began to plot how to deal with the Holy Spirit Cult.

However, there's no rush. We need to add fuel to the fire and make Shrek Academy and the Holy Spirit Cult even more infamous. Only then can the Sun Moon Empire gain the greatest reputation!

As for his brief alliance with the Holy Spirit Cult, it can be explained by enduring humiliation and gathering intelligence. After all, how could he have eradicated them without contacting them?

Completely whitewashed!

"Oranges," Xu Tianran suddenly spoke up.

"Your Highness, please give your orders," said Orange, who had been waiting respectfully behind the wheelchair.

She was the person Xu Tianran trusted most. Or rather, since Xu Tianran was injured and disabled, he no longer trusted anyone, and Ju Zi was the only person he could trust to some extent.

Therefore, Ju Zi naturally served Xu Tianran closely. After he became regent, Ju Zi's status changed from Crown Princess to Regent's Princess.

Ju Zi couldn't really figure out what Xu Tianran was thinking. Xu Tianran, who had become a eunuch, had long since become twisted. How could a normal person like her guess what a lunatic was thinking? So when Xu Tianran sneered, although she felt a little creeped out, she was used to it.

He likes to let out a strange laugh for no reason.

Divine gold...

If it weren't for needing your help for revenge, I would have slapped you so hard you wouldn't be able to pry you off the wall.

"Pass down the message: the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, which we will be holding in Mingdu three years from now, will be renamed the Continental Youth Soul Master Tournament. In addition to Soul Master academies, sects can also participate." Xu Tianran said slowly and meaningfully.

"Let me... add some spice to their food!"
