Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 633 is about the Prime Minister.
An hour after Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na disappeared, Qian Ren Xue and the others had almost finished eating all the food.

They only left some soup for Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na out of courtesy.

After some time, Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na finally reappeared before them.

Qian Gu Huang Yu leaned against Gu Yue Na's side, as if only in this way could she barely stand.

"What were you all doing just now? How did you get here so fast?" Qian Renxue looked at Qian Gu Huangyu and said with a playful expression.

Upon hearing this, Qian Gu Huang Yu blushed and turned her head away, her voice barely audible, "I just went to talk about some things."

Qian Renxue immediately showed an understanding expression and nodded with a smile.

"Sister, they're moving way too fast!" Leng Yulai whispered to Leng Yaozhu.

"Isn't it said that the higher one's cultivation level, the stronger one's combat ability should be?" Leng Yulai added.

Leng Yaozhu tapped Leng Yulai on the forehead, causing the latter to look up in displeasure and say, "What are you saying? How could we possibly assess Xiaoyu and Nana's cultivation levels?"

"Although...they were indeed a bit fast..."

Although Leng Yaozhu and Leng Yulai's voices were very soft, how could Qian Gu Huang Yu not hear them with his cultivation level?

Listening to their comments about her, Qian Gu Huang Yu's back, which had been bent over for several years, finally broke completely.

Of course, it's not that Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na were too fast; it's just that after their breakthroughs, they had already unlocked all sorts of more exciting gameplay options, so they didn't need to waste any time.

"Ahem, let's get down to business first." Qian Gu Huang Yu coughed, barely managing to keep the situation under control.

Seeing that everyone had finally put away their gossipy expressions, Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "For so many years, the so-called Speaker of the Federation's Council has been nothing more than a figurehead, with no real power whatsoever."

"Although the Speaker is nominally the highest authority in the entire Federation, in reality no one takes the Speaker seriously at all."

"Therefore, I intend to change this situation and combine the positions of Speaker of Parliament and Secretary of the Army into one, which will be the position of Federal Prime Minister."

"Then I will serve as the first Prime Minister of the Federation, and Gu Yue will serve as Cabinet Secretary, responsible for the implementation of policies and the overall operation of the Cabinet."

Gu Yuena nodded slightly after hearing this. "That's good. The Federation's system does need reform, and this can also change the public's impression of us."

Qian Gu Huang Yu laughed and said, "Then let's settle on this for now. Once we finalize the remaining cabinet list, we will announce it to the world."

"Yes, Prime Minister."

...

Shrek City, Shrek Academy.

After initially completing the formation of the cabinet, Qian Gu Huang Yu visited Shrek Academy once again.

She was greeted by Yun Ming, the master of the Sea God Pavilion, and Zang Xin, the deputy master of the Tang Sect.

"Master of the Ancient Tower, how do you feel about our sincerity?" Zang Xin asked with a smile.

Zang Xin was referring to the Tang Clan's donation of 100 billion to the Federal Revitalization Foundation.

Even for a group as large as the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, this would be a devastating blow.

Qian Gu Huang Yu said calmly, "It's not that you're being sincere, it's that you know you're going to die."

Upon hearing this, Zang Xin's smile instantly froze on his face, and he was momentarily at a loss for words.

Yun Ming forced a smile and said, "In fact, during the One Year War, both Shrek Academy and Tang Sect were kidnapped by Long Yeyue and Chen Xinjie."

"Nothing that happened during the One Year War was what we wanted to see; we were forced into it."

When Yun Ming said these words, his heart was bleeding. Both Long Yeyue and Chen Xinjie were respected elders to him.

However, for the sake of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect's future, he had no choice but to portray Long Yeyue and Chen Xinjie as heinous demons.

They shifted all the blame onto Long Yeyue and Chen Xinjie.

Qian Gu Huang Yu didn't even glance at Yun Ming, only saying, "Whether it is or not, we'll have to get the answer in the military court."

A bead of cold sweat slid down Yun Ming's forehead. He thought that after donating 100 billion, the crisis for Tang Sect and Shrek Academy would be basically resolved, but he did not expect that Qian Gu Huang Yu had no intention of letting them go.

Seeing this, Zang Xin quickly said, "Master of the Ancient Tower, let's not beat around the bush. Shrek Academy and Tang Sect have never failed to take responsibility for their actions."

"We would appreciate it if the tower master could enlighten us on how to prove our innocence."

Since there are already 100 billion yuan in sunk costs, Zang Xin doesn't care about paying a little more.

At this point, survival is the most important thing for both the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy.

Seeing that Zang Xin was so cooperative, Qian Gu Huang Yu laughed and said, "Since Sect Leader Zang Xin has said so, then I will be frank. The way you want to prove your innocence is very simple, which is to prove that you are on the side of the Federation."

Recalling Qian Gu Huang Yu's earlier statement about launching a war against the Xing Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire, Zang Xin blurted out, "We are willing to make every effort for the Federation's foreign wars."

"We are willing to contribute our resources to win Your Excellency's favor."

Faced with Zang Xin's sudden display of loyalty, Yun Ming's eyes flashed with surprise. He thought they had already given enough, but he didn't expect Zang Xin to intend to continue investing money into this bottomless pit.

Zang Xin looked at Yun Ming and transmitted his voice, "We have no other choice."

After listening, Yun Ming finally nodded.

Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "Since that's the case, then I think the Tang Sect should also be willing to share its scientific and technological expertise to improve the Federation's weapons and equipment, thereby reducing casualties in the war, right?"

Zang Xin's expression froze instantly. He knew that Qian Gu Huang Yu would ask for an exorbitant amount, but he didn't expect Qian Gu Huang Yu's appetite to be so big.

Twenty thousand years ago, the foundation of the Tang Clan was its hidden weapons. However, after the rise of soul tools led to the decline of the Tang Clan, the Tang Clan has always regarded the development of soul tools as its primary task.

Now, in some aspects, the Tang Sect's soul tools are even more advanced than those of the Sun Moon Federation, the originator of soul tools.

With the support of the Tang Sect, the Star Luo Empire even had the idea of ​​using technology to surpass the Sun Moon Federation and launch a counterattack on the Douluo Continent.

This is also why the Sun Moon Federation has always been wary of the Tang Sect.

It can be said that the reason why the Tang Sect has always maintained its superior status is inseparable from its advanced soul guidance technology.

But now, the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather actually demanded that the Tang Sect hand over all its soul-guided technology, instantly striking at the Tang Sect's Achilles' heel. Yun Ming was also startled by the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather's demand. He was originally a disciple of the Tang Sect and had a sense of belonging to the sect, so naturally he did not want the Tang Sect to be insulted in this way.

Soul tools are the foundation of the Tang Sect, and Qian Gu Huang Yu is naturally aware of this.

But she did this in order to force the Tang Sect to submit and turn it into a harmless idol.

In her previous conversation with Ning Qinglan, Qian Gu Huang Yu had already decided that the biggest concession she could make was to retain the name of the Tang Sect.

Then, the Tang Sect was transformed into a subordinate organization of the Sun Moon Federation, similar to the Mingde Hall, specifically for developing various soul tools and cultivating outstanding disciples.

In other words, the Tang Sect, as a sect, will completely lose its independence and become a subordinate colony.

Forcing them to unilaterally disclose their soul guidance technology is only the first step in gradually eroding the Tang Sect.

Seeing that Yun Ming and Zang Xin had both fallen silent, Qian Gu Huang Yu turned to look at them and said calmly, "What, are you unwilling to work hard for the Federation?"

Zang Xin gritted his teeth and said, "Willing? Of course we're willing. Besides, we're also willing to take the lead in the war against the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire, and expand your territory."

"After all, compared to other forces, we understand the Star Luo and Dou Ling Empires better."

Before today, Zang Xin had never imagined that the thousands of years of friendly relations between the Tang Sect and the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire would become the Tang Sect's capital to invade them.

But however absurd it may seem, it has now happened.

Qian Gu Huang Yu nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's right. I remember that the Tang Sect was the guardian sect of the Star Luo Empire, wasn't it?"

Zang Xin forced a smile and said, "It is true, but we only did it to mislead our opponents and gather intelligence in advance. We absolutely did not intend to betray you."

"After we gather more intelligence, we will recall all the Tang Clan disciples who have been dispatched. Then we will have them lead the way and join our Federation's Heavenly Soldiers to wipe out the Star Luo and Dou Ling Empires."

Seeing that Zang Xin was so cooperative, Qian Gu Huang Yu nodded in satisfaction. [First, trick them into giving you the Soul Guidance Technology. After the war ends, the Tang Clan's elite forces will suffer heavy losses, and the Tang Clan will be practically defunct. Let it serve as a research institution to compete with Mingde Hall.]

Seeing that Qian Gu Huang Yu did not make any further demands, Zang Xin breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that it was finally over.

But the next second, Qian Gu Huang Yu turned her gaze to Yun Ming and said, "Since Shrek Academy is an academy, it should naturally spread knowledge to more people, right?"

Yun Ming was taken aback, but still nodded. "Teaching and nurturing students has always been the foundation of Shrek Academy."

Qian Gu Huang Yu laughed and said, "Then I'll trouble Shrek Academy to make public all the knowledge and information related to Soul Masters that it has collected over the past 20,000 years."

"Shrek Academy can't enroll a hundred students every three years, so only a small number of people can enjoy its valuable knowledge."

"In that case, why not hand over all the books and documents to the Federation? Then, with the Federation's help, more people can enjoy the benefits."

"What do you think?"

Yun Ming smiled bitterly to himself after hearing this. [What else could he do? Did he even give me a chance to refuse?]

Yun Ming then said seriously, "Shrek Academy has always taken teaching and nurturing people as its mission, but due to various reasons, it has ultimately failed to expand the scale of the school."

"After listening to your words today, I realize that we were indeed too petty in our previous arrogance."

"We are willing to hand over our books to the Federation, but we ask that the Federation be discerning when imparting knowledge and prevent it from falling into the hands of criminals."

“I am very pleased that Pavilion Master Yun has this awareness,” Qian Gu Huang Yu said with a smile.

"However, since Shrek Academy has this awareness, why not let the capable do more?" Qian Gu Huang Yu suddenly said, changing the subject.

"We are about to launch a war against the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire. Why don't Shrek Academy join the Tang Sect in taking the lead?"

"With the protection of powerful Soul Masters like you, the casualties of our army will surely be reduced considerably."

Faced with the practice of using the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather to its fullest extent, Yun Ming could only swallow his anger and say, "That's how it should be, that's how it should be."

Qian Gu Huang Yu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Since Pavilion Master Yun is so cooperative, I will provide you with a great gift after the war ends."

Faced with Qian Gu Huang Yu's increasingly amiable smile, Yun Ming instinctively felt a sense of unease and quickly said, "This is what we should do, it's what we should do, there's no need to reward us specially."

Qian Gu Huang Yu smiled and shook her head, saying, "No need, you must accept it."

...

After Qian Gu Huang Yu left, Yun Ming immediately said to Zang Xin, "Old Zang, forget about those Shrek Academy materials. Almost every major power has them, so just give them to them."

"But is it really okay to directly make Tang Sect's soul-guided technology transparent to Eternal Phoenix Feather in one direction?"

"That's the result of the efforts of our Tang Clan ancestors over tens of thousands of years!"

Zang Xin gave a bitter smile and said, "Boss, of course I know all that, but for us right now, survival is the top priority."

"If we all die, and the Tang Clan is gone, won't these technologies still fall into the hands of the Ancient Phoenix Feather?"

"Boss, did you know? Just yesterday, the Yu family and the Shen family were wiped out for treason."

Yun Ming was stunned upon hearing this. The Yu family had inherited the Central Army Corps, and the Shen family had inherited the East Sea Army Corps. Even on the entire Douluo Star, they were top-tier families, yet they were so easily destroyed.

Zang Xin said, "Their direct relatives were all killed, and the collateral relatives who did not participate in the One Year War were also sealed with their soul power and imprisoned."

"Because Chen Hanyu knelt down quickly enough, apart from the group that followed Chen Xinjie, the rest of the Poseidon family were not held accountable."

"If it weren't for the fact that Master and Sect Master Ning had a past relationship with Qian Gu Huang Yu, our fate wouldn't have been any better than that of the Yu family and the Shen family."

"Don't ruin Master's good intentions. Survival is the most important thing now."

Upon hearing this, Yun Ming finally nodded heavily.

Zang Xin sighed upon seeing this and said, "But there is a good side. In any case, the One Year War has devastated the entire Federation."

"China is in dire need of development and its industrial system is incomplete. Even if we give them the technology, they will not be able to put it into large-scale production immediately."

"Fortunately, the Tang Sect's industrial system is still quite complete. At least in the short term, we still have an advantage over the Sun Moon Federation and the Spirit Pagoda."

"Let's see if this war between the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire can become a turning point in our destiny."
