"Let us raise high the scepter of the angel God, with faith as our sword and loyalty as our shield, and together create a new world without strife or oppression."
"May the glory of the Angel God shine forever upon the Martial Soul Empire."
May the Martial Spirit Empire prosper forever!
"Long live the Spirit Empire! Long live the Angel God!"
"Long live the Spirit Empire! Long live the Angel God!!"
First, the leading figures of the Soul Master world standing above responded, followed by a thunderous roar from below, repeating "Long live the Spirit Empire! Long live the Angel God!"
The sounds rose and fell, continuing for a long time.
The group of titled Douluo standing above were also seeing such a grand spectacle for the first time. A sense of pride and arrogance rose in their hearts. Although they were not the main characters, they still felt a sense of pride and arrogance as they stood atop a high mountain, looking down upon all living beings.
As the cheers subsided, everyone stood on the Spirit Hall's high platform and bowed deeply to Gu Han, even the Title Douluo knelt on one knee.
"Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"
The sound resounded throughout the heavens and earth, echoing endlessly like waves.
Gu Han waved his sleeve.
"Flat body."
After the founding address, the next step was to demonstrate the strength of the imperial army.
Although the cannons blasted open the gates of Xingluo City last time, and the muskets routed the Xingluo defenders, very few people still knew about the existence of firearms.
Firearms were not yet widespread throughout the army, so only firearms were displayed this time, while cannons were not shown.
The Martial Soul Empire dispatched only 10,000 soldiers this time, all of whom were the most elite Cloud Banner Army.
Ning Fengzhi's gaze was fixed on the guns in the hands of the Yunqi Army, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. Gu Han glanced at him and immediately saw through his thoughts, then secretly transmitted his voice.
"Sect Leader Ning, I know you are interested in firearms, but in order to maintain order in the Empire, no one outside the Empire is allowed to possess firearms. Anyone found doing so will be severely punished."
"This is clearly stipulated in the Imperial Law, and the law will be made public later. Sect Leader Ning can take a look when he has time."
Ning Fengzhi's heart tightened. He turned his head slightly to meet Gu Han's deep eyes, and nodded with a sincere smile to show that he understood.
After Gu Han's warning, Ning Fengzhi also gave up the idea of firearms. Although he was very tempted, the current strength of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was such that only the Martial Soul Empire and the Holy Church of the Evil Soul Masters could threaten it on the entire continent.
It would be a losing proposition to antagonize the powerful Martial Soul Empire over firearms.
Perhaps, in the future, the Spirit Empire will decline and its control over the Spirit Master world will gradually decrease. At that time, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will request the Empire to allow them to use firearms for self-defense.
However, that's probably many years from now, and Ning Fengzhi certainly won't live to see that day.
The ceremony didn't end until sunset, but the crowd didn't disperse. The entire square was filled with singing and dancing, and dazzling fireworks lit up the night sky.
Qian Renxue and Gu Qiu'er, these two playful girls, naturally wouldn't miss out on the excitement tonight. The two mingled in the crowd and had a great time.
Gu Han and Bibi Dong sat on the high platform, their eyes fixed on the two lively figures below.
"Young people are really energetic."
Bibi Dong sighed, thinking back to when she was the same age as him, the happy times when she dragged her junior brother around everywhere. Now, she was not only the Pope, but also the mother of two children. Time really flies.
Normally, the two little ones, Gu Nanfeng and Gu Shuangyue, are personally looked after by Bibi Dong. However, today is a special case, and they are being taken care of by the sword spirits Xue Di and A Yin. So there is nothing to worry about.
"Senior sister is getting sentimental," Gu Han teased with a smile. "Just a couple of days ago, she was playing pranks on Xue'er and Qiu'er like a little kid king."
Bibi Dong rolled her eyes at Gu Han, annoyed: "Go away, don't disturb my sentiments."
"Haha."
Gu Han smiled, and seeing Bibi Dong make a gesture as if to praise him, he quickly coughed lightly and turned his gaze to the three people sitting upright to the side: Shi Dong, Dongfang Lingyun, and Yun Ming.
"It's lively today, Shi Dong, why don't you take Ling Yun and Ming'er down and have some fun? Young people shouldn't be so listless."
"Uh, Master, actually we already..."
"Hey senior brother, let's go, let's take junior brother down for a stroll."
Shi Dong wanted to say that they had actually already returned from their stroll, but before he could finish speaking, Dongfang Lingyun interrupted him, grabbed one of them with each hand, and they vanished from the high platform in a flash.
Gu Han's lips curled up slightly; Ling Yun was still the most worry-free girl.
Chapter 343 The Holy Church's Way Out
"The Spirit Hall has established a nation."
Hell Douluo told Dai Hao a message.
"As expected."
Dai Hao's expression showed no surprise. When Jialing Pass fell and the Tiandou Empire failed to quell the rebellion, they had already anticipated that Tiandou would soon perish.
The only one capable of taking its place is the Spirit Hall, which already has its own independent government and army. The other principalities are like fish on a chopping board in front of the Spirit Hall; if they obey, all they can do is accept it, but if they don't, they will only face death.
Under these circumstances, the kings of the various principalities were not fools, and surrendering was inevitable.
Having completely occupied the entire Tian Dou territory and seized the Spirit Hall of a duchy within his Star Luo Empire, establishing a new empire was inevitable.
"The establishment of the Spirit Empire has caused some spirit master forces within my Star Luo Empire to become restless, and there are many people who have rebellious intentions towards the Star Luo Empire."
"The Spirit Empire has already issued a message to the entire continent, namely, to re-elect the seven major sects of the continent. Taking advantage of this event, many top-notch spirit masters from my Star Luo Empire have gone there, attempting to gain a foothold in this newly established empire of the Spirit Empire."
Don't you think you should do something?
"The Star Luo Empire has just gone through a political upheaval, and the empire's control over those Soul Master forces is not as strong as it used to be."
It's not that Dai Hao doesn't want to get involved, but the Star Luo Empire is truly unable to manage it now; the Star Luo Empire has more important things to do.
"The establishment of the Spirit Empire and the re-election of the seven major sects have little to do with the Star Luo Empire. We must now concentrate our forces as soon as possible to guard against the Spirit Empire's offensive."
Hell Douluo's brow twitched: "You think the Spirit Empire won't stop its expansion?"
"Hmph! Isn't it obvious?"
Dai Hao said coldly, "The Martial Soul Empire is now incredibly powerful and will definitely not stop its expansion. Although with the help of your Holy Sect, it will be difficult for the Star Luo Empire to perish, but the Star Luo Empire will definitely lose a lot of territory."
It's easy to imagine that if Dai Hao were the emperor of the Martial Soul Empire, he certainly wouldn't let go of this opportunity to unify the continent.
Even if we can't destroy the Star Luo Empire in one go, we should cripple it and take over more territory.
Hell Douluo got up and left without leaving any advice or personal opinions.
Dai Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, somewhat unable to understand this Hell Douluo.
During this period, the Holy Sect once again produced four more Title Douluos, consuming the lives of tens of thousands of people, whose levels ranged from ninety-two to ninety-four.
Back in the Holy Church, Hell Douluo addressed the four Title Douluos, saying, "The Star Luo Empire is no longer sufficient for us to establish ourselves. We must prepare for the fall of the Star Luo Empire and find a better place to settle down."
"Isn't the City of Slaughter enough?"
"Not enough, far from enough. Once Star Luo falls, the entire continent will be completely under the shadow of the Spirit Hall. Even if we hide in the Slaughter City, it will be no different from before, losing our freedom and being in prison."
"But if the Star Luo Empire also perishes, where will we go?"
This was a gaunt, middle-aged man whose appearance was like that of a vengeful ghost crawling out of hell, sending chills down one's spine.
Hell Douluo's lips curled into a meaningful, cold smile as he slowly uttered two words.
"overseas."
"overseas?"
All four were taken aback, and one of them asked, "Are there other continents overseas?"
"I'm not sure about that, but even if it's not true, the ocean is boundless. If that happens, even if the Spirit Empire has all the connections in the world, it will be very difficult for them to find us."
Hell Douluo added, "Start preparations now."

She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
With the establishment of the Martial Soul Empire, the re-election of the seven major sects across the continent followed one after another.
The city of Wuhun was packed with people; if you randomly grabbed ten people on the street, eight of them would be Soul Masters.
As expected, the original four lower sects survived to the end: Wind Sword Sect, Elephant Armor Sect, Holy Dragon Sect, and Black Tiger Sect. These four sects not only had one Soul Douluo, but also no less than thirty Soul Saint powerhouses.
After fierce fighting, two more sects joined the ranks of the seven major sects: the Fire Leopard Sect and the Rock Antelope Sect.
In the original story, the Sparrow Bee Sect was eliminated in the final round because its combat ability was inferior to the martial spirits of the sects mentioned above.
Currently, the seven major sects are...
Without a doubt, the top of the three upper sects is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which was originally the second of the three upper sects, with two Super Douluo in charge, twenty Soul Douluo and one hundred Soul Saints.
There's no need to compare; the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was already recognized as the top of the three upper sects from the very beginning, and no one dared to disagree.
On the plaza of the Spirit Hall, all seven major sects arrived with their experts.
Gu Han glanced in the direction of the Elephant Armor Sect. They were all big, strong men, and their martial souls, the Diamond Mammoth, were not only incredibly strong in defense, but also in attack.
Imagine an elephant charging at you. Forget about blocking it; its sheer force alone would intimidate many people, putting them at a disadvantage from the very beginning.
Then there's the Holy Dragon Sect. Their martial soul, the White Armored Earth Dragon, has a very cool design. In terms of looks, Gu Han thinks the White Armored Earth Dragon is more imposing and better-looking than the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Then came a Wind Sword Sect member wearing a white eye patch who entered on a flying sword.
Its martial soul, the Wind Sword, is considered a high-level martial soul, ranking among the best on the continent. However, despite being a high-level martial soul, its combat power is somewhat lacking, being characterized by low attack and low defense.
It is able to become one of the four lower sects because its sect has no fewer than fifty Soul Saints, plus its sect sword formation, and its overall influence in the Soul Master world is also top-notch on the continent.
These three sects were also dark horses vying for the last two spots among the top three sects.
Hu Yanzhen stretched his neck and wrists, his face full of confident determination.
Aside from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which is designated as the top of the three upper sects, and his own sect, of the other five major sects, only the Holy Dragon School poses a threat; the others cannot even break through his defenses.
If you can't even break through his defenses, what right do you have to compete with me for a place among the top three sects?
Indeed, after four days of fighting, apart from Tuoba Xi and Huyan Zhen of the Holy Dragon Sect who fought to a 60/40 split, Tuoba Xi ultimately lost due to his superior level.
Hu Yanzhen's level is exactly one level higher than Tuoba Xi's. The higher the level, the greater the difference in soul power between them.
To Gu Han's surprise, Feng Bailong failed to defeat the Black Tiger Sect's leader, thus missing out on the position of the top of the four lower sects.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
Gu Han rose from the high platform, his gaze fixed on the seven major sects below, led by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
