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

"No need to think, it must be for the sake of unification. After the extraterrestrial object incident six years ago, the Star Luo Empire declined, and she wants to take over the Star Luo Empire without bloodshed."

"Daughter, you are so smart!"

"Get out of my way, don't bother me."

Also six years ago, Ning Fengzhi, taking advantage of the kindness of raising him since childhood and the many years of father-daughter relationship, forced Ning Rongrong to give him the immortal herb, Qiluo Tulip.

In the same year, he exhausted all his resources and broke through the limitations of his martial spirit.

The celestial herb, the elixir of immortality, also exhausted its last bit of medicinal power, helping his Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda successfully condense into its true eighth layer.

However, having exhausted all his life essence, he had less than a year left to live and died naturally six months later. At that time, the Douluo God Realm was in the period when the Golden Dragon King launched the God War.

However, Ning Fengzhi was already very satisfied. When the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda successfully broke through to the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, he had no regrets in his life.

Every year on this day, Ning Rongrong comes to sweep Ning Fengzhi's grave. She doesn't hate her father, Ning Fengzhi, because she understands that he has no regrets in his life.

The daughter, Ning Rongrong, inherited the position of sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

His disciple, Xue Qinghe, became the Qinghe Emperor of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

On his deathbed.

Ning Rongrong and Xue Yan chose to tell Ning Fengzhi the truth: Xue Qinghe is Qian Renxue, and Qian Renxue is Xue Qinghe. All the disciples he has taught over the years have been Qian Renxue.

In this regard.

Ning Fengzhi was not surprised; he remained calm.

"Actually, cough cough... I had a guess long ago. One day, Qinghe suddenly became smart, a kind of smartness that didn't belong to him. I knew then that the Qinghe of the past was gone."

"But one day, I received a letter, a letter with familiar handwriting. The real Qinghe had changed his name and was living a quiet life in a quiet city."

“From that day on, I began to seriously teach this fake Qinghe the art of governing the country. She is very smart and learns quickly. I believe that the Tiandou Empire will become better in her hands.”

These were Ning Fengzhi's last words in the mortal world before he left to be reincarnated.

The Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City, Star Luo Imperial Palace.

"The world is foolish. This is coercion, forcing us to actively integrate into the Heavenly Dou Empire, making the Star Luo Empire a thing of the past, and making the Heavenly Dou Empire the ruler of the continent."

"But what can we do? The Xue family and the Qian family are united by marriage, and with the three upper sects that are already closely related, our Star Luo Empire has no other way but to actively integrate."

"Then let's fight! No man in the Star Luo Empire is afraid of death."

"Don't be silly. If it weren't for the Heaven Dou Empire giving us 10,000 communication soul tools six years ago, our Star Luo would probably have been wiped out by those disgusting extraterrestrial creatures long ago. Right now, anti-war sentiment is high down below. Even if a real war breaks out, they'll just go through the motions without putting in any real effort."

The extraterrestrial object disaster six years ago.

Due to a lack of communication soul tools, the Star Luo Empire was unable to quickly assemble a large army to protect its cities, and cities throughout the Star Luo Empire initially suffered unimaginable damage.

If the Heavenly Dou Empire's royal family hadn't stood idly by at this crucial moment, and instead allowed the Angel Legion to selflessly send out more than ten thousand communication soul tools, the Star Luo Empire would have already perished.

Even though the Star Luo Empire managed to stabilize the situation with the help of the Spirit Hall and the Angel Legion, the deaths of tens of millions of people brought the empire to the brink of collapse.

The remaining people all longed for peace and opposed civil war.

That's right.

It's a civil war, a human civil war.

No one knows if the extraterrestrial aliens, the "little devils," will return. If they do, and humanity is still fighting a civil war, then it's basically a no-brainer for humanity to be wiped out.

Six years is not a long time, but it's not short either.

Those who survived that era do not want any more wars to happen.

If the Star Luo Emperor of the Star Luo Empire ignores the warnings and dares to be the first to start a war, his civil and military officials will dare to rebel, and even the army may mutiny.

With foreign enemies looming overhead, everyone longs for peaceful reunification.

Therefore, even Emperor Qinghe of the Heavenly Dou Empire could not use violent means, and could only use this slow and gentle approach to gradually annex the Star Luo Empire.

.........

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

Just as the major powers on the Douluo Continent were shocked by the fact that the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire were as close as family, another big news ignited the hearts of all the common people on the continent.

[World News Daily, Issue 667, Breaking News: Emperor Qinghe of the Heavenly Dou Empire, defying public opinion, has decided to provide basic living subsidies to all citizens of the Heavenly Dou Empire.]

[Editor-in-Chief: Bibi Dong]

[Editor-in-Chief: Dong Qing]

[Associate Editor: Hu Liena]

[Editors: Mei Xiangxue, Li Yuexian, Li Yuemei, DouDou.]

The following is the news details brought to you by the editor.

[The first paragraph contains interview content. Interviewee: Emperor Qinghe.]

"Your Majesty Qinghe, may I ask why you made this decision? You decided to provide basic living allowances to the citizens of the Heaven Dou Empire. Are you imitating His Holiness the Pope of the Spirit Hall by providing subsidies to Spirit Masters?" DouDou asked.

"No, this is not imitating her; this is a decision I have made after careful consideration," Emperor Qinghe replied.

"Your Majesty Qinghe, may I ask why?" DouDou asked.

"The reason is simple. In recent years, the technology of soul tools has been advancing continuously, and the productivity of the Heavenly Dou Empire has made unprecedented progress, causing many people to lose their jobs. After losing their jobs, they live in constant fear of starvation. I feel it is necessary to ensure the basic livelihood of the people so that they will not go hungry because of losing their jobs," Emperor Qinghe replied.

"Your Majesty Qinghe, if I may be so curious, how much exactly is this basic living allowance?" DouDou asked.

"The provisional amount is six hundred copper soul coins per person per month, which is enough to maintain a person's most basic living. Moreover, regardless of age, anyone over six years old can receive this basic living allowance," Emperor Qinghe replied.

"Wow, six hundred copper soul coins isn't a lot of money, but if everyone receives a basic living allowance of six hundred copper soul coins, it's still a considerable sum, right? Can the national treasury support it?" DouDou asked.

"No problem. The Joint Investigation Committee has done a good job over the years, eliminating most of the corrupt officials and local criminal gangs for the Heaven Dou Empire. Moreover, with tax transparency, no Soul Master families can evade taxes anymore. The country's annual tax revenue has increased tenfold. Allocating a portion for basic living allowances will not have a significant impact on the national treasury," Emperor Qinghe replied.

“I see. But Your Majesty Qinghe, aren’t you afraid that these citizens who receive basic living allowances will choose to lie down and do nothing? After all, they can receive a basic living allowance of 600 copper soul coins every month. Even if they don’t work, they won’t starve to death. They might become lazy,” DouDou asked.

"That's alright. I already considered this issue when formulating the basic living allowance. It's undeniable that there will be many lazy people who live a life of ease by relying on the monthly basic living allowance. But I believe that this matter will greatly enhance the happiness of the people and relieve them of the worry of losing their jobs and going hungry due to advancements in soul tool technology," Emperor Qinghe replied.

"The people of the Heaven Dou Empire are truly fortunate. But here's a side question: are students and workers who study or work in the Heaven Dou Empire, who aren't citizens of the Heaven Dou Empire, eligible for basic living allowances?" DouDou asked.

"I'm sorry, the national budget is limited, and there are currently no plans to subsidize this area," Emperor Qinghe replied.

[The second paragraph contains interview content. Interviewee: World Bank President, Mary Jean Reimer.]

"Your Excellency President of the World Bank, since the Spirit Hall's Gold Soul Coin Cards were successfully restructured, they have all become bank cards. Moreover, the Spirit Hall has entrusted the World Bank with handling all the former Gold Soul Coin Card business. Now, His Majesty Qinghe has asked you to distribute basic living allowances. Can you ensure that the allowances are accurately and precisely distributed to every citizen of the Heaven Dou Kingdom?" Mei Xiangxue asked.

“Of course, not only are the Spirit Hall branches all over the continent, but the World Bank branches are also all over the continent. We can guarantee that the citizens of Tian Dou can receive their basic living allowances promptly, quickly, and accurately through the World Bank branches in every city across the continent,” Niu Xiaomei replied.

"Was this process transparent?" Mei Xiangxue asked.

“It’s completely transparent. The joint investigation committee can investigate the basic living allowance distribution process at any time, and thoroughly examine every basic living allowance transaction. Anyone who dares to embezzle, no matter how high their status or position, will be dealt with seriously, with the maximum penalty being the death penalty,” Niu Xiaomei replied.

“The Joint Investigation Committee truly deserves to be called a breath of fresh air in the Heaven Dou Empire. I really admire their ability to stay true to their original aspirations and continue to eradicate corruption and evil forces in the Heaven Dou Empire. Can you tell me about them?” Mei Xiangxue asked.

“Sorry, this topic is unrelated to what we’re discussing today,” Niu Xiaomei replied.

[This concludes the interview. A final reminder from the editor.]

When a citizen of Tiandou receives their basic living allowance for the first time, they should remember to verify their Tiandou citizen status at the World Bank and then obtain a free bank card from the World Bank to receive the basic living allowance.

It will be automatically distributed at the end of each month.

.......

It is worth mentioning that.

Since the emergence of communication soul tools, which played an absolute role six years ago, coupled with the strong support of Emperor Qinghe, the development of soul tool technology has experienced explosive growth, with a dazzling array of soul tool technologies emerging one after another.

Over the past six years, communication base station soul tools have basically covered the entire continent. At the same time, the World Bank data center soul tool has also been completed, which not only collected the wealth of the world, but also built the most complete identity information archive of the entire continent.

The only difference between soul-guided technology and modern technology lies in energy: soul power versus electricity. The former is pollution-free, while the latter pollutes and damages the environment to some extent.

However, aside from the difference in energy sources, soul tool technology and modern technology are essentially the same, both being technologies built from the most basic mathematics, physics, and chemistry.

Never underestimate humans. Soul Masters have their own world, and mortals have their own world.

Soul Masters cultivate their soul power and absorb soul rings to strengthen themselves.

Ordinary people are also researching various soul-guided technology to arm themselves.

and also.

Soul power has never been exclusive to soul masters. Although mortals cannot absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to convert into soul power, they can inscribe formations to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and automatically convert it into soul power.

It's impossible for Soul Masters to provide all the Soul Power for Soul Tools. If that were the case, wouldn't Soul Masters just be the charging banks for Soul Tools?

Remember, this is brand new soul tool technology, not some ancient soul tool; it is technology created by human wisdom.

.......

at the same time.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in another world.

Chapter 732, Don't Swear, She's Too

The current world is the Qin Dynasty world, located in the Endless Chaos Sea, the Primordial Great World, and is the 6,753,619th fantasy world under its jurisdiction.

Qin State, Xianyang City, Xianyang Palace, the area surrounding Xianyang Palace, Wuxing Hall.

January has passed.

With the help of the Moon Goddess, Dong Qing and she pretended to be lovers, almost turning their fake relationship into a real one. In the end, Dong Qing finally won over Dong Jun Yan Fei, completed his final job change, and truly possessed this perfect woman.

Why is it called perfect?
