Crossing Douluo: Three Gods in One

Chapter 240 On the eve of the war
Jialing Pass!
At this time, the sun had just set and a bonfire was lit inside Jialing Pass. At this moment, all the soul master corps of the Wuhun Republic stood here, totaling more than 50,000 people, and more than half of these people possessed souls.

They are the foundation of the Wuhun Republic, including the lower four sects and the soul masters recruited by the Wuhun Republic over the years.

Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Zhang Tong and said respectfully:
"Everyone has been assembled."

Zhang Tong nodded and said to Qian Renxue:

"Sister Xue, please close the space. I don't want those fence-sitters to hear it."

Qian Renxue nodded, and a soft light curtain enveloped the more than 50,000 people present.

The foundation of the Wuhun Republic is incomparable to that of the 100,000 cannon fodder from the kingdoms and princes who joined them. These are the ones who are wholeheartedly following the Wuhun Republic to live and die together, while those are nothing but fence-sitters who forget their principles for the sake of profit.

Looking at the countless people below, to be honest, Zhang Tong was still not mentally prepared, but for their lives, he had no choice but to do this this time.

Everyone was looking at Zhang Tong, the youngest elder of the Wuhun Republic, the former leader of the Wuhun Hall and the master of the Spirit Pagoda.

Everyone thinks:
Tomorrow will be their final battle with the two empires. Victory or defeat will depend on this one. The fact that so many people could be convened for a meeting on the eve of the war is probably to discuss the battle plan.

Zhang Tong looked at everyone. His handsome face and pure aura made the 50,000 people at the scene quiet and peaceful.

“Everyone, some of you may not know who I am. Let me tell you, I am the master of the Spirit Pagoda, the founder of Soul: Dugu Qiubai.

Tomorrow, the final battle between our Wuhun Republic and the two great empires will begin. Do you have confidence?"

"Have."

The voices of more than 50,000 people were in unison, resounding throughout the heavens and earth, but were not heard by the outside world.

Zhang Tong nodded with satisfaction:
"Everyone is great. Seeing you, I can see tomorrow's victory. But, I have to tell you that tomorrow, many of you will die. Are you afraid?"

Silent...

Many people at the scene were silent.

Death is terrifying to humans.

Everyone is afraid of death.

At this time, Hu Yanli stood up and said loudly:

"Yes, we will die, but we are doing this to defend our country. Behind us are our wives and children. For them, it doesn't matter if we die."

Huyan Zhen looked at his juniors with great satisfaction. He was content to have such juniors in his life.

Many people seemed to have found the meaning of this battle in Hu Yanli's voice, and they all shouted:
"Defending my country, even if I die..."

After a while, the scene became quiet again, and Zhang Tong continued:

"Good, great for defending your country. It doesn't matter if you die. My Wuhun Republic will not perish as long as you are here. Hahahaha..."

After laughing three times, Zhang Tong said slowly:

"It is precisely because of your fearless attitude that I am telling you now to withdraw from Jialing Pass tonight and abandon this place."

When these words were spoken, not only the people at the scene were stunned, but even Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others were stunned.

quiet!
silence!

Deathly silence!

After a long time, Tian Xiang Hu Yanzhen slowly spoke:

"What does Elder Dugu mean by this? Are we going to surrender to the two empires?"

At this moment, no one understood what Zhang Tong meant and why he wanted them to abandon Jialing Pass and retreat to the rear.

What difference does this make to asking their soul master corps to do logistics?
Zhang Tong said calmly:

"I think it's not just Sect Master Huyan who has questions. I think everyone has questions."

Everyone waited for Zhang Tong to explain clearly without saying anything. Zhang Tong did not waste time and said calmly:
"Because we are facing an existence beyond the Title Douluo. I want you to live. I don't want you to sacrifice in vain."

Everyone at the scene was stunned, and soon many people became angry, especially Hu Yanzhen:
"What does Elder Dugu mean by this? Are we the kind of people who are afraid of death?"

Many soul masters echoed:
"Yes, we are not afraid of death."

Zhang Tong said calmly:

"I know that you are all brave and not afraid of death, but the existence of God is something that humans cannot resist."

As he spoke, Zhang Tong looked at Qian Renxue. Qian Renxue nodded, then stretched out one hand and gently pressed down.

More than 50,000 people at the scene, including Golden Crocodile Douluo, Huyan Zhen and others, all knelt on the ground.

Zhang Tong said slowly:

"Everyone sees this, this is God. It's not that you are afraid of death, but I don't want you to lose your life in vain. This battle is a battle between gods. If gods can't defeat gods, then even if many soul masters and titled Douluo's lives are sacrificed, we can't win.

So, everyone, please leave Jialing Pass. You are the invincible soul master army of the Wuhun Republic, but you are also our hope. If we as gods fail, you will be our hope. "

Hearing this, everyone was silent. They might not understand how powerful God was, but if even a Titled Douluo-level warrior couldn't withstand a mere wave of his hand, then they...

Zhang Tong continued:

"Sometimes, running away is not because of cowardice, but for the final victory. Many of you have believed in me, believed in my soul system, believed in my suggestions for the soul hunting operation, and believed that my retreat was correct. Thank you for your trust in me over the years.

So, this time, please believe me. I let you go not because you are afraid of death, but to preserve hope. You are my hope. If I fail, you will be the hope of the future Wuhun Republic. "

After he finished speaking, the scene fell into silence.

Facing the gods, there was really no need for them to stay here. Firstly, most of the soul masters here had souls, and Zhang Tong really didn't want to see the relationship between soul beasts and humans that had been so hard to establish destroyed.

Secondly, even if he failed this time, the God Realm would not kill all these ordinary soul masters. You must know that the Spirit Hall controls 80% of the soul masters on the continent. If they are all killed, there will be basically no soul masters left in Douluo Continent.

As the latest soul system, I believe that even if Zhang Tong failed, the God Realm would not let the Soul Tower disappear for the sake of mankind, unless the humans on this Douluo Continent no longer needed soul rings.

After everyone was silent for a while, Golden Crocodile Douluo stood up and said slowly:

"Little bastard, as the second priest of the Elder Hall, I support your idea. God is indeed not something that mortals can resist. So, I agree with your opinion. Let's all go and leave Jialing Pass."

Golden Crocodile Douluo's voice was not loud, but the aura of a Super Douluo was heard by everyone.

Hu Yanzhen came out and said in a muffled voice:

"Since the Second Priest thinks so, let's go, but Elder Dugu must agree to one thing."

Zhang Tong smiled and looked at Hu Yanzhen. Hu Yanzhen looked at the people behind him and immediately said:

"We believe that the Wuhun Republic will achieve ultimate victory. We have always believed in you, Elder Dugu, so, this time, you must win."

Hu Yanli also came out and said:

"Elder Dugu, I am one of the first soul experimenters. I believe in your soul system. This time, I also believe that you will win, right?"

More and more people came out and looked at Zhang Tong:
"Elder Dugu, you will definitely win, right?"

"We believe in you, Elder Dugu. Our Wuhun Republic will win, right?"

…………

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar faces, Zhang Tong smiled and nodded:

"I promise you, I will win this time!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo said:

"Since everyone believes in him, let's pack up and prepare to leave Jialing Pass under the cover of night."

Everyone knelt down in unison and kowtowed three times to Zhang Tong, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, then turned and left.

Zhang Tong walked to Hu Liena, touched her face, and said softly:

"Let's go back to the Spiritual Tower. It's safe there."

With tears in her eyes, Hu Liena hugged Zhang Tong:
"No, I want to be with you."

Zhang Tong patted her shoulder and said:
"When did you become so disobedient? Go now, go with Xie Yue and the others."

Hu Liena still said stubbornly:
"No, I'm not leaving!"

Zhang Tong nodded:

"If you don't want to leave, then don't leave."

As he released his embrace, Hu Liena was delighted. Just as she was about to say something, she felt her eyelids getting heavy and she closed her eyes.

"I owe you a wedding, wait for me."

Zhang Tong picked up Hu Liena, kissed her on the forehead, and then said to Ju Douluo:
"Take them and return to the Spiritual Tower."

Ju Douluo nodded and left with Xie Yue and the others.

Most of the soul masters also left, leaving only Zhang Tong, Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong.

As for those princes and dukes of the kingdom, although they have an army of more than 100,000 people, they are no different from good-for-nothings and are good for nothing except being cannon fodder.

"Everyone has almost left. Your Holiness, Sister Xue, you are really a bit cold."

Bibi Dong is no longer wearing her usual gorgeous clothes, but has changed into a very down-to-earth fluffy coat.

Qian Renxue was wearing angelic attire and looked righteous. She sat on the city wall and looked at Zhang Tong:
"Silly brother, are you sure you can win tomorrow?"

Zhang Tong shook his head and said:
"To be honest, I don't know. If we fail, Sister Xue, will you regret it?"

Qian Renxue hesitated for a while and said:

"Win or lose, I'm glad to have you."

Hearing this, Zhang Tong smiled and looked at Bibi Dong:

"Your Holiness, please come and chat with your daughter. Sister Xue has missed you a lot over the years."

Bibi Dong, who was standing on the top of the city wall, was stunned. She looked at Qian Renxue, who smiled slightly and said:
"Can I... call you... mother?"

Hearing this, Bibi Dong's eyes instantly became moist:
"Xue'er, you..."

Bibi Dong couldn't believe that Qian Renxue actually called her like that.

Qian Renxue wiped the tears from her eyes and said slowly:

"My silly brother told me about our ending. Mother, I'm sorry..."

Bibi Dong ran over quickly, and the mother and daughter hugged each other:
"Xue'er, it's your mother who is sorry for you. You have suffered so much over the years..."

The two women didn't say anything, they just hugged each other for a long, long time!
At this moment, a voice interrupted this pleasant moment:

"His Holiness the Pope and the young master have reconciled. Brother, did you see that?"

Qian Renxue was stunned, Bibi Dong was also stunned, and Zhang Tong was also stunned.

"Grandpa Golden Crocodile..."

"Ghostly Moon Pass..."

"Evil Moon? Yan?..."

Zhang Tong and the other two asked together:
"What are you doing back here?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo touched his head and said with a smile:

"Miss, Lord, Elder Dugu, we old men have lived long enough. It would be worth our lives to witness the battle of gods."

Hu Yanzhen and the leader of the Holy Dragon Sect looked at each other, and Hu Yanzhen said:

"Lord, Elder Dugu, Young Master, please give the hope of survival to the younger generations. They are still young, and we old men don't care."

Zhang Tong looked at Xie Yue and Yan:
"Why are you two here to join in the fun? And Ghost Moon Pass, didn't I ask you to take Nana back to the Spirit Transmission Tower?"

Ghost Douluo said:

"Don't worry, Elder Dugu. The Saint Girl and the girl with the Nine-Star Begonia Martial Spirit have already returned to the Spiritual Tower. They will take care of everything."

Yan also echoed:
"Elder Dugu, let us men do the hard work. Isn't it for the sake of a better life for our wives and children?"

The nine elders of Wuhun Republic:
Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, Snake Lance Douluo, Thorny Porpoise Douluo, the Fifth Elder, the Sixth Elder, the Seventh Elder, the Eighth Elder, and the Ninth Elder who had worked with Zhang Tong to destroy the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan.

The six major offerings in the Elders' Hall:

Golden Crocodile Douluo, Holy Dragon Douluo, Ghost Leopard Douluo, Demon Bear Douluo, Thousand-pound Douluo, and Demon-Subduing Douluo. (The Great Priest Qian Daoliu has already been sacrificed)

The new seven major clan leaders:
The leader of the Elephant Armor Sect is Huyan Zhen, the leader of the Holy Dragon Sect is Tuoba Xi, the leader of the Wind Sword Sect is Feng Jian, the leader of the Black Tiger Sect is Hei Hu, the leader of the Fire Leopard Sect, the leader of the Rock Antelope Sect, and the leader of the Sparrow Bee Sect.

Looking at these Titled Douluo of the older generation, Zhang Tong also kept them. As for Xie Yue and Yan, the two Titled Douluo of the new generation, since they wanted to stay, then they let them stay.

"It's getting late. Let's all go to bed and prepare for tomorrow's battle."

After hearing what Zhang Tong said, the people who stayed behind nodded, bowed and said goodbye, then went back to rest.

Qian Renxue held Bibi Dong's hand and looked at Zhang Tong:
"Silly brother, I will sleep with mother tonight, you can come too."

Zhang Tong was stunned. Is there such a good thing? Scratching his head, he said:

"Sister Xue, this...is not good."

"What's good or bad?"

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue didn't give Zhang Tong any chance to think. They each held Zhang Tong's hand and took him to rest...
