Reincarnated as the Death Spider Queen, sacrificing Bibi Dong at the start

"Let me finish speaking first."

"The Soul Hunting Operation I just mentioned is merely a plan targeting the Soul Master community; it's just the first step."

Bibi Dong stood up, walked to the huge continental map hanging in the center of the hall, and drew a large circle on the map with her scepter:

"Who told you that the Spirit Hall's target is merely the entire world of Soul Masters?"

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.

All the elders were stunned, and even Gui Mei and Yue Guan looked up in confusion.

Bibi Dong turned around, her back to the map, her eyes gleaming with an ambition that could devour the heavens and earth:

"Soul Masters are ultimately only a very small minority. Even if you add up all the Soul Masters on the entire continent, they would still only account for less than one-thousandth of the total population."

"Just as Sect Master Tang worried, if the Spirit Hall were to merely unify the Spirit Master world and form a powerful, independent violent organization, the Heavenly Dou and Star Luo Empires would never tolerate it, and a fierce war would inevitably break out."

"This is a dead end."

"Therefore, the ultimate goal of the Spirit Hall has never been to unify the world of spirit masters."

"But rather—"

"Unify the world!!"

"To annex the two great empires and establish an unprecedented, unified new empire!!"

"hiss--!!!"

A collective gasp filled the hall.

With a tremor of his hand, the teacup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

crazy!

Totally crazy!

The Spirit Hall has been established for a thousand years, and its consistent aim has been to expand its influence in the world of spirit masters. Although it occasionally intervenes in secular affairs, it has never thought of replacing the two great empires, let alone annexing the world!

"Your Holiness the Pope..." Tang Xiao felt his throat go dry, "You...you're serious?"

"What? You find it unbelievable?"

Bibi Dong looked at the horrified expressions on everyone's faces and sneered:

"Times have changed, everyone."

"Think back to how many Soul Masters there were on the entire continent a thousand years ago? Back then, most Soul Masters lived in seclusion deep in the mountains; they were true hermit masters."

"But with the establishment of the two great empires, more and more Soul Masters entered the secular world. The Spirit Hall was established as a result, and the number of Soul Masters began to grow exponentially."

"Especially in the last few hundred years, haven't you noticed? More and more Soul Masters have participated in secular wars, becoming nobles of the two great empires, generals of the army, and even the masters of war!"

Bibi Dong pointed to the border between the two great empires on the map, her tone chilling:

"As times progress, the number of Soul Masters will only increase, and their involvement in war will become deeper and deeper."

"Perhaps a thousand years from now, or even several thousand years from now, the armies of ordinary people will be reduced to cannon fodder, and Soul Masters will become the absolute main force in war!"

"Everyone has seen how terrifying the war between Soul Masters can be, just like our battle with the Clear Sky Sect not long ago."

"Low-level Soul Masters are fine. But..."

Bibi Dong's gaze swept over each of the Title Douluos present:

"What if it were a battle between Soul Saints and above? What if it were a clash of countless Martial Soul True Bodies? Or even... what if it were dozens of Title Douluos fighting each other on the battlefield?"

"What kind of scene was that?"

"Destroying the heavens and the earth! Causing widespread death and destruction!"

"How many people will die then? How many cities will be destroyed? The entire continent will be reduced to ruins!"

The hall was completely silent; everyone was stunned by the future that Bibi Dong had described.

Moreover,

Bibi Dong continued, her voice tinged with pity and worry:

“In our era, there are not many high-level Soul Masters, and Title Douluo are even rarer.”

"But what about a thousand years from now, or ten thousand years from now?"

"With the improvement of the Soul Master system, how many Soul Masters will there be? How many Title Douluos will there be?"

"If war breaks out, who can withstand the destructive power?!"

Bibi Dong walked back to the main seat, placed her hands on the table, and looked down at everyone:

"The conflict between the two great empires is deeply rooted, and war is inevitable. The participation of Soul Masters in the war is also an inevitable trend that cannot be reversed."

"In that case..."

"Then why don't we stop it before that cataclysmic future arrives?"

"Why not eliminate the threat of war completely before it escalates beyond control?"

Why did the two great empires go to war? Why are there conflicts in the world of Soul Masters?

"Because of profit!"

"War breaks out because everyone belongs to different camps, has different stances, and fights their own battles!"

"But what if...we gather everyone together?"

"What if we eliminate national borders and the barriers between sects!"

"Use the same rules to govern everyone, use the same laws to determine right and wrong, and clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments, all from the same source!"

"If there is only one empire in the world, and only one voice!"

"Then this world..."

Will there be more wars?!

Chapter 101 What is the purpose of seizing the world?

……

After hearing Bibi Dong's deafening question, the hall fell into a long silence.

Although everyone here is a Title Douluo, a powerful figure standing at the top of the Soul Master world, each has their own expertise. They have spent most of their lives cultivating Soul Power and researching Soul Skills. They are truly ignorant of politics, governance, and even such grand historical perspectives, and have never even thought about them.

Bibi Dong's depiction of a "unified" future is indeed awe-inspiring, even carrying a sense of mission that stirs the blood.

but……

"Your Holiness the Pope."

Demon Bear Douluo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and cautiously began to speak:

“You are right, and we understand. This is indeed for the long-term peace and stability of the world.”

"But... this task is probably harder than climbing to heaven."

Demon Bear Douluo pointed outside:

"To annex two great empires and establish a new, unified empire? What are the reasons?"

"Although the two great empires are secretly vying for power and there are constant border clashes, at least on the surface, they are still maintaining peace and there has been no full-scale war."

"If the Spirit Hall were to suddenly launch an attack and forcibly wage war against the two great empires, it would be completely unjustifiable on moral grounds!"

"This will make the people of the world see us as invaders, as traitors and rebels!"

Ghost Leopard Douluo chimed in from the side:

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope."

"More importantly, the Spirit Hall is essentially just a spirit master organization, or rather, a church. We do not have the legal basis to become a country."

"Not to mention whether ordinary people outside would accept it, even our own Spirit Hall's own Spirit Masters probably wouldn't agree with it."

Ghost Leopard Douluo gave a wry smile:

"The vast majority of our Spirit Masters come from the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires. Their parents, wives, children, and friends all live there."

"If the Spirit Hall suddenly launches a war, causing them to turn their guns on their own country and their own homeland..."

"Then, legally and morally, they are traitors!"

"That'll get you talked about behind your back!"

Righteousness and justification are extremely important in war.

If the army has no legitimate reason to fight, morale will not be stable and a mutiny may occur at any time.

Just like Bibi Dong did before.

Whether it was the speech at the Pope's inauguration ceremony before attacking the Clear Sky Sect, or yesterday's criticism of Qian Xunji in front of all the Soul Masters, the essence was to establish a righteous cause for himself.

Bibi Dong placed herself on a moral high ground, making everyone believe that Qian Xunji was a sinner and that she was righteous.

Therefore, Qian Daoliu dared not take action against Bibi Dong, because once he did, it would confirm his guilt, leaving him with no way to defend himself.

The same reason.

In the hearts of hundreds of millions of people on the mainland, the education they received from childhood taught them that they were citizens of the Heavenly Dou Empire or the Star Luo Empire.

This preconceived notion is deeply ingrained.

They were living peacefully, with occasional friction, but overall life was stable. Suddenly, the Spirit Hall jumped out and said they wanted to destroy their country and establish some new empire...

what is that?

rebel!

That was treason, the source of chaos!

At that time, the people of the two great empires will fight to the death, and the spirit masters of the Spirit Hall will be caught in a dilemma.

This battle is unwinnable.

It's not just a matter of strength, but also a matter of public support.

"Yes."
