Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 656 The Birth of the British Empire
The high-hanging sun shone with golden rays, illuminating the dark night sky, and the entire city seemed to be bathed in the sun's grace.

After experiencing a year-long civil war and campaigns against two great empires, the Ming capital, which had been in turmoil for several years, now appears quite quiet.

The once bustling streets were deserted, with almost all shops closing down on this day, except for a few that sold daily necessities.

Because today is the day that the legendary phoenix feather ascends the throne.

Qian Gu Huang Yu, who now holds the thrones of the Sun Moon Federation, the Star Luo Empire, and the Dou Ling Empire, will hold a grand ceremony to worship Heaven and ascend the throne in the southern suburbs of Mingdu today.

He offered sacrifices to Heaven and Earth, and also to his ancestors. After this, Qian Gu Huang Yu would become the unprecedented Emperor of Douluo Star.

Conquering all known territories—something no one had ever accomplished before. The prestige of the Eternal Phoenix Feather is undoubtedly extremely high.

Even the citizens of the two former empires had to acknowledge the extraordinary talent and ambition of Qian Gu Huang Yu.

The vast majority of people in Mingdu were in high spirits. Before dawn, people had already followed the continuous and dense crowds to the southern suburbs of Mingdu, ready to welcome the arrival of this grand feast that had never been seen in human history.

Of course, there are also a few people who are simply looking to witness this historic moment and see if this young leader can lead human civilization to a new level.

Of course, conspiracy theories have been circulating ever since Qian Gu Huang Yu became the master of the Spirit Pagoda.

However, such news is undoubtedly not something that can be made public. After all, neither the Sanqing Education Team, which belongs to the military, nor the Sixth Bureau of the Tower of Spirit Transmission, which belongs to the Tower of Spirit Transmission, are pushovers.

Serious offenders might even obtain the SSR Hades Douluo Halosa, and then be invited by Halosa to join them in becoming fishing experts in the sea.

On all the main roads of Mingdu, soldiers wearing uniform silver uniforms stood on both sides, and a strong sense of solemnity permeated the entire city.

Under the coordination and guidance of the army, the people continued to march in an orderly manner toward the southern suburbs.

This grand ceremony for the ascension to the throne was a massive undertaking, with the Sun and Moon Federation mobilizing an army of over 100,000 men.

In the southern suburbs, a huge altar stands silently.

Originally, the altar of the Sun and Moon Empire was an oddly shaped platform, with a circle on the left and a crescent-shaped circle on the right. It symbolized the sun and moon and was the emblem of the Sun and Moon Empire.

This altar has existed for thousands of years. Emperors of the Sun and Moon Empire throughout history would offer sacrifices to Heaven here to demonstrate their achievements.

However, with the abdication of the Xu family, the royal family of the Sun and Moon, this altar naturally lost its former significance and gradually became an ordinary tourist attraction.

The Phoenix Feather of the Ages is not to be crowned as the emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire, and in order to demonstrate the unity and reconciliation of the three kingdoms, it is naturally impossible to use the altar of the Sun and Moon Empire before.

However, out of respect for historical relics, Qian Gu Huang Yu did not destroy it, but instead built a new altar.

The new altar is circular in shape, with nine levels, covering an area of ​​over 10,000 square meters and reaching a height of 1,000 meters, making it taller than most buildings in the Douluo Continent. It will undoubtedly become one of the country's iconic buildings in the future.

The first platform is the widest, and it connects to eight other platforms. Each platform has the same shape, gradually shrinking until the top is only one thousand square meters in size.

The nine platforms, from bottom to top, are gray, white, yellow, purple, black, red, orange, silver, and gold.

White, yellow, purple, black, red, orange, and gold are naturally the colors of the Douluo Star Soul Rings.

Because Qian Gu Huang Yu wanted to promote reconciliation among the people of various countries, she did not choose the sun and moon, the symbols of the Sun and Moon Federation, nor the white tiger and spirit cat, the symbols of the Star Luo Empire.

The swan, the symbol of the Douling Empire, is naturally not under consideration.

The concept of seeking common ground while reserving differences, if we were to ask what could be the basis for consensus among the three countries, it would naturally be the soul rings that represent soul masters.

Nine is the ultimate number, but unfortunately, even if you count the million-year soul rings, there are only seven soul rings on Douluo Star, so the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feather added gray and silver ones.

Gray naturally represents Electrolux, and the Soul Spirit system that arose because of him, in commemoration of Electrolux and the many Soul Spirits who helped him.

Placing gray at the bottom is also because Qian Gu Huang Yu believes that without Ilex and the other spirits, she wouldn't be where she is today; it was they who laid the foundation for her to become a force to be reckoned with.

Silver naturally represents Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King. As for why silver is placed below gold…

Because gold is both the color of a million-year soul ring and a symbol of Qian Gu Huang Yu herself, and Qian Gu Huang Yu felt that Gu Yue Na should be below her.

Military forces were stationed in the four directions of the altar: the air force, the army, the navy, and the Spirit Pagoda's own Soul Master squadrons, maintaining order at the site.

Of the 100,000 troops mobilized this time, those guarding the area around the altar were the elite of the elite, while the main force was dispersed throughout the capital to maintain order at the scene.

By this time, the sky was fully bright, and sunlight shone on the magnificent altar, scattering a dazzling nine-colored halo. From a distance, it was extremely spectacular.

The high-ranking officials of the Sun and Moon Federation and the invited guests began to ascend the altar, taking their places on the first to eighth levels according to their status and rank.

Walking at the very front of the eighth floor was none other than Qian Renxue, the supreme commander of the Federation army; even Gu Yuena was half a step behind her.

Although Qian Renxue did not consider herself a match for Gu Yuena, she was someone who had fought her way through the One Year War.

In terms of merit alone, no one is greater than Qian Renxue.

After Qian Renxue, there will be the future Empress (just kidding) Gu Yuena, and after Gu Yuena, there will be Qian Gu Die Ting, Di Tian, ​​and other high-ranking members of the Spirit Pagoda.

Following the Spirit Pagoda were some high-ranking military officials, such as Chen Hanyu. Although the military had made great contributions in the war against the two great empires, in the Douluo Continent, strength ultimately reigns supreme.

Apart from Qian Renxue, the military currently doesn't have a single Limit Douluo.

After that, it was the former Star Luo Empire Emperor Dai Lingxun and the Imperial Preceptor Enci. Although the former Douling Empire Emperor Xue Chaoyang was also on the eighth floor, he was not accompanied by any people from the former Douling Empire.

This was also arranged by Qian Gu Huang Yu, because the Dou Ling Empire is ultimately no match for the Xing Luo Empire.

After everyone else came Yun Ming and Cao Dezhi, who remained expressionless. Shrek Academy and Tang Sect had almost all died before finally securing them positions at the end of the eighth floor.

In fact, the Eternal Phoenix Feather had invited the Blood God Legion to attend the ceremony, but the Blood God Legion Commander, Qin Xiaowen, refused on the grounds of defending against the invasion of the Abyss.

During the One Year War and the Federal Civil War, both Qian Renxue's New Federation and Shrek Academy and Tang Sect's Free Federation sought the support of the Blood God Legion.

Even members of the Blood God Legion almost went out to join the battle, but they were suppressed by the combined efforts of Qin Xiaowen, the commander of the Blood God Legion, and Xue Yimo Siyuan.

Even after the end of the year-long war, they did not leave the Blood God Legion, but remained steadfastly on Snow God Mountain, resisting the invasion of the Abyss Plane. It was precisely because of their dedication that Qian Gu Huang Yu specially invited them to attend the ceremony.

Of course, the Blood God Legion did not fight alone when the two sides were at their wits' end during the One Year War. As the most powerful neutral party, the Spirit Pagoda also spontaneously took on the task of supporting the Blood God Legion.

While continuously transporting supplies to the Blood God Legion, they also sent powerful Soul Masters to help the Blood God Legion when it needed support.

Qian Gu Die Ting personally went to the Blood God Legion three times.

This is why the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather ranked among the top in the Spirit Pagoda even on the eighth floor.

The positions were basically based solely on their own merits. Although the higher-ups of the Spirit Pagoda had contributed to the rise of the new dynasty, most of them were absent from the One Year War and the Holy War against the two great empires.

It was their performance in the Blood God Legion that earned them a higher status.

The seventh level consists mostly of military generals and sect leaders from major sects who distinguished themselves in the One Year War and the Holy War against the two great empires.

Although the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School was absent from the entire year-long war, it managed to stand at the forefront of the seventh level thanks to its assistance in the Holy War and its closer relationship with the Ancient Phoenix Feather.

Before long, the people at the eight-tiered altar were all in place, and the citizens who came to watch the ceremony had also found their spots.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Chaoyang, the former emperor of the Douling Empire who was standing on the eighth floor, subconsciously knelt down.

But after his head hit the ground, he realized that no one else had knelt down except for him, not even Qian Renxue, who was at the very front of the eighth floor.

Ordinary people who were not qualified to ascend the altar could only bow in the direction of the ancient phoenix feather.

Although the Emperor Qian Gu Huang Yu was essentially turning back the clock in history, becoming emperor again in a federal country.

But she was not a feudal remnant, so she naturally did not intend to go back to the kneeling and bowing ritual. She would simply bow normally when facing the emperor.

Seeing that he was the only former emperor kneeling in the entire hall, Xue Chaoyang had no choice but to stand up with a dark face.

"Long live! Long live! Long live!"

After the crowd rose to their feet, their cheers rose like waves, a true roar, a wave of sound composed of the shouts of tens of millions of people, spreading into the distance like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing.

Just then, a young girl stepped out from the void.

The first glance always falls on her hair, which is like a flowing golden galaxy, as if every strand of her hair has been blessed by the gods.

It possesses both the fiery intensity of a raging fire and the timeless chill of an ancient flame. Her hair, unbound, flows gently in the morning breeze, yet without the slightest dishevelment, resembling a golden tide.

Above that were a pair of crimson eyes that could eclipse the heavens and earth. Wherever their gaze swept, the space seemed to tremble slightly, as if even time itself would halt its flow under their watchful gaze.

She wore a black imperial robe with golden star patterns embroidered along the edges. With each step she took, the stars seemed to come alive, shimmering and dancing on the fabric.

As the hem of her robe brushed against the edge of the space, tiny wisps of light were swept up and wrapped around her toes, as if in silent submission.

High in the sky, the Ancient Phoenix Feather stood alone, looking down at everything below. Her gaze narrowed slightly, and an incomparably terrifying aura suddenly swept out from her body from the inside out.

Purple gold, purple gold, purple gold, earth gold, earth gold, dark gold, dark gold, silver gold, gold!

Nine astonishing spirit rings rose from beneath her feet, but under the deliberate control of the Ancient Phoenix Feather, the tenth spirit ring, which symbolized godhood, did not appear.

That was enough to surprise everyone. Although there were slight differences in the color of the nine spirit rings, everyone present could see clearly that they were all nine golden spirit rings!

Nine million-year soul rings!
No wonder Tang San's ancestor and Lingbing Douluo were already invincible with a million-year spirit ring, and ultimately became gods.

[She now possesses nine million-year soul rings. If the God Realm hadn't disappeared, she would probably have become a god nine times over by now. What right do I have to compete with her?]

Yun Ming looked at the Ancient Phoenix Feather standing high in the sky, smiled bitterly, and completely lost the idea of ​​competing with it.

...

"The sect leader is truly too strong, she's practically divine!" From the shadows, Harosa looked at the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feather and exclaimed in admiration.

Although Shura City was destroyed, the Holy Spirit Cult was not completely wiped out. It's just that after Qian Gu Huang Yu took control of the entire Douluo Star, he no longer needed so many evil soul masters.

Now, all land under heaven belongs to the king. All people within the realm are his subjects.

There's no need to support so many evil spirit masters anymore, otherwise they'd still prey on ordinary people.
One of the core objectives of the holy war against the two great empires was to deplete the manpower of the Shi-Tang allied forces and the Holy Spirit Church.

At this moment, the seventh soul ring beneath Qian Gu Huang Yu's feet suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light.

The next instant, a majestic and awe-inspiring silhouette of the Star Eater Ghidorah appeared beneath the feet of the Ancient Phoenix Feather.

The silhouette of Ghidorah the Star Eater stretched over ten thousand meters. The Ancient Phoenix Feather stood proudly on the dragon's head in the center, her clear and majestic voice accompanied by her spiritual power that had long surpassed the Divine Origin Realm, shining like a blazing sun over everything on the continent.

"Our ancestors were blessed by the heavens and earth, which is why we were born with the miracle known as the Martial Soul."

"However, for tens of thousands of years, the human race has always been busy with internal struggles: the Star Luo Empire, the Heaven Dou Empire, the Martial Soul Empire, the Sun and Moon Empire, the Fighting Spirit Empire, the Heavenly Soul Empire, and the Sun and Moon Federation."

"For tens of thousands of years, various great powers have risen and fallen, and endless wars have brought countless sufferings to the common people."

"Today, all past grievances will be in the past. From today onwards, the names of the Sun Moon Federation, the Star Luo Empire, and the Dou Ling Empire will no longer exist on this Douluo Star."

"We will no longer have to watch our loved ones go to the battlefield."

"At this moment, the Douluo Empire is established!"

"Regardless of gender, talent, origin, or ethnicity, all are equal citizens of my Douluo Empire! The sun will never set on our land!"

I've finally gotten to this point. I've finally turned Douluo Online into my own Minecraft world.
