Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

Mortal beings cannot achieve immortality; they can only settle for second best by passing on their genes to their direct descendants, thus achieving immortality in another sense.

However, this method of achieving immortality is very unstable. Once the genes are not passed down, or the offspring are someone else's children, the lineage will essentially be cut off.

Genetic immortality is unreliable, as the process is fraught with too many unexpected events; true immortality is the most reliable option.

Don't think of immortality as a torment, nor should you think of it as a form of loneliness.

Immortality is truly wonderful; you can waste time as you please without worrying about drifting aimlessly through decades only to find that your lifespan has come to an end.

Immortality is truly wonderful. You can spend a great deal of time doing meaningless things that make you happy; you simply have more time than you can use.

As for loneliness, it has nothing to do with lifespan.

You chose loneliness, not the other way around.

Some people.

Even if you only have a few decades to live, you can still live a wonderful life.

Some people.

They live for hundreds or thousands of years, yet remain mediocre and unproductive.

..........

Douluo Star, Heaven Dou Empire, Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Valley.

As always, this place remains the same, with eternal spring in the valley and rare and precious plants everywhere.

The Yin-Yang Eye in the very center of the valley, half ice blue and half crimson, remains exactly the same as before.

"Hahaha, you lost! Now call me 'sister'!"

"I refuse to accept this."

"A bet's a bet, so call me 'sister' now!"

"I won't shout!"

"Little Dong'er, can't you accept defeat?"

"You're talking nonsense. Who can't afford to lose?"

Two girls, around six or seven years old, were staring at each other, looking as if they were about to fight at any moment.

Their features were exquisitely beautiful, they wore gorgeous dresses, and they possessed an intangible air of nobility.

At this time.

A man who looked to be no more than twenty years old appeared behind them and flicked each of them on the head, causing them to both crouch down in pain, clutching their heads.

"Can you two just shut up for once? You're already arguing all the time, and now you want to fight too?" Dong Qing said irritably.

"Dad, Dong'er lost and won't admit it. She won't call me 'sister'," Dong Baobao said, looking aggrieved.

"I caught you cheating, so why should you admit defeat? I'm not convinced!" Dong Dong'er gritted her teeth.

"Shut up, both of you. You were born on the same day. As for who should be the older sister, that's a tricky question." Dong Qing deliberately put on a fierce look.

pity.

Dong Qing couldn't bring himself to be fierce towards the two of them; he was nowhere near as terrifying as Lan Yinhuang A Yin and Liu Erlong. These two clever little devils saw right through him that he wasn't really angry.

"Dad, I'm usually the most obedient person. Can you let me be the older sister?" Dongbao said sweetly, holding Dongqing's hand.

"Dad, I'm the most obedient one. Bao'er always gets you into trouble," Dong Dong'er said, clinging to Dong Qing's arm.

The two of them, one on each side, clung to Dongqing's arms, acting coquettishly. Their eyes were wide open, filled with anticipation, both wanting to receive Dongqing's unique affection.

"Be good, be good, both of you be good. As for who should be the older sister, you can discuss it yourselves in private. Dad won't get involved."

With a helpless expression, Dong Qing picked up one of them in each hand, placed them on his shoulders, and walked slowly towards the outside of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well Valley.

He genuinely didn't know how to define their sisterhood, because no matter who he made the older sister, it would be suspected of favoritism.

That being the case.

Let them decide for themselves who is senior in private. Anyway, this isn't the first time something like this has happened, and Dongqing is almost used to it.

Chapter 710, Corpses Littered Everywhere?

Tian Dou City.

Six years is neither long nor short. For some, it's just a blink of an eye; for others, it's a world-shaking change. Now, this city has undergone some changes.

On the bustling street, many people dressed in fine clothes were holding a piece of blue crystal about the size of a palm and about one centimeter thick on the side.

This is not some pretty decoration; it's a personal communicator from the modern technological world, a mobile phone, but here it's called a communication soul guide.

Human creativity is amazing.

Their ability to imitate is also beyond doubt.

Following the development of military communication soul guides six years ago, civilian communication soul guides were successfully launched three years ago.

This thin blue crystal became an instant sensation throughout the Heaven Dou Empire and even the entire Douluo Continent upon its release.

The importance of communication needs no further explanation.

If the Heavenly Dou Empire hadn't taken the initiative six years ago and used the communication soul tool to mobilize the Heavenly Dou Army Group in advance, the Heavenly Dou Empire would probably be in no better shape than the Star Luo Empire today.

That's right.

The Star Luo Empire is currently facing serious problems and is on the verge of collapse.

The extraterrestrial objects from back then were actually the Little Demons invading.

Even if all the Title Douluos of the Spirit Hall were mobilized.

The Thousand Families' Angel Legion has been stationed in the Star Luo Empire, but it has only managed to protect the common people at the bottom of the Star Luo Empire. The political and military situation of the Star Luo Empire has almost completely collapsed.

Six years have passed.

The situation in the Star Luo Empire did not improve much; in fact, the already weak domestic economy collapsed, and the Star Luo royal family's credibility plummeted to rock bottom.

Over the past six years.

It was only because the Heavenly Dou Empire was supporting the Star Luo Empire, whose economy had completely collapsed, that the Star Luo Empire, which had suffered several famines, did not experience the tragedy of cannibalism.

Emperor Qinghe's benevolence was known throughout the land. He did not take advantage of the situation to kick someone when they were down, which made countless people of the Star Luo Empire develop a sense of admiration for this benevolent ruler.

Gradually.

An unknown cry quietly appeared within the Star Luo Empire.

Some people took the lead in calling for the merger of the two empires in the newspapers, to establish a unified dynasty, and to make the people of the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire truly one family.

Tian Dou is the main force, and Xing Luo is the secondary force.

No one felt that there was anything wrong with the Heaven Dou Empire being the main power; the current state of decline of the Star Luo Empire in all aspects was a very real problem.

If it weren't for the Heavenly Dou Empire's continuous support for the Star Luo Empire, it would have split apart even if it hadn't perished.

...........

Tian Dou City, Tian Dou Imperial Palace, Yangxin Hall.

"Hello, Aunt Xue!"

"Hello, Aunt Xue!"

Dong Dong'er and Dong Baobao stood obediently beside Dong Qing, bowing deeply to Qian Renxue, who was handling government affairs.

Now, Qian Renxue no longer needs to hide her identity in the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace; the entire palace is filled with her people.

"Why did you bring these two big troubles here?" Qian Renxue frowned.

Looking at the two seemingly well-behaved but actually extremely mischievous girls in front of her, she had a headache. If it weren't for Dong Qing, she would have found an excuse to send Dong Baobao and Dong Dong'er away right now.

"Big trouble?" Dong Baobao said with a displeased look.

"Are you talking about me?" Dong Dong'er muttered softly.

"Don't say that, they're just a little mischievous, not a problem," Dong Qing quickly said.

As he spoke, he reached out and covered Dong Baobao and Dong Dong'er's mouths to prevent them from saying anything inappropriate and ruining his plan for a black-and-white match tonight.

"Not troublesome enough? Don't you know how much trouble those two cause? The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is already a complete mess because of them. Everyone knows those two little devils." Qian Renxue said irritably.

"Aunt Xue, it's not our fault, it's their own problem... Waaah, Daddy, please let me speak..."

"That's right, it was clearly their own fault... Waaah... Dad, what are you doing? I haven't finished speaking..."

Before Dong Baobao and Dong Dong'er could argue, Dong Qing completely shut them up.

"Don't worry, I'll educate them properly when we get back and try to make them more sensible," Dong Qing said helplessly.

"You want to educate them? You soften your heart the moment they start to act cute. What can you possibly educate them? You'll only spoil them. You might as well just hand them over to Lan Yinhuang and Liu Erlong." Qian Renxue scoffed.

"Well, they've been busy with other things lately and haven't had much time to educate Dong'er and the baby." Dong Qing touched his nose somewhat awkwardly.

They are busy, really busy, busy dealing with World Bank matters, and now they really don't have any free time to come back and educate Dongbao and Dongdong'er.

Not bad.

Six years later, thanks to Niu Xiaomei's efforts, the World Bank has grown into a behemoth comparable to a newspaper.

In almost every major city, a branch of the World Bank was built not far from the Martial Soul Hall.

With the backing of the Spirit Hall, the World Bank gained the trust of over 90% of ordinary people, who deposited their money into the World Bank.

Taking this opportunity...

The Spirit Hall announced that the Gold Soul Coin denomination card has been officially upgraded to a bank card, and everyone can check their Gold Soul Coin balance through their local World Bank branch.

However, since the World Bank has only been operating for a short time and many things are still immature, it does not currently offer transfer and remittance functions; it only offers simple inquiry and withdrawal functions.

Even so, Niu Xiaomei was so busy every day that she didn't even have time to switch jobs with Dong Qing. In less than half a year, she gained dozens of kilograms.

no way.

Dongqing could only ask Liu Erlong and Lan Yinhuang to help handle the various trivial matters of the World Bank, so that Niu Xiaomei wouldn't be exhausted to death by these tedious tasks.

Of course.

Perhaps Niu Xiaomei herself doesn't feel tired; she enjoys the feeling of controlling money. But for Dong Qing, these things are tedious and incredibly troublesome.
