Chapter 317 Pressure and Benefits

According to my junior brother.

That was a king of gods.

If only I could inherit the divine position like my ancestor Tang San from ten thousand years ago.

Recreate the divine war from ten thousand years ago.

Would that allow us to defeat the so-called Lord of the Plane in one fell swoop?

Everyone looked at An Zhen.

“That’s right.” An Zhen nodded slightly. “But Senior Brother Yan, even if I inherit the divine position, I’ve only just broken through to level 100.”

For example, in the original novel, Legend of the Dragon King, when he fought against the Abyss Saint.

Is the Dragon God's divine position powerful?

Of course strong.

That is the supreme god-king.

But she never confronted the Abyss Saint King. Isn't that because her own strength wasn't enough? For example, the Flame Princess Dong, although she inherited the God King's position, is arguably the weakest God King.

Moreover, he has no divine position to inherit.

The hall was quiet.

Everything was fine before.

I was told today that the world will end in two or three years.

“Actually, it’s nothing,” An Zhen said. “This war is not like a regular war, as it doesn’t involve bringing together all the strongest fighters from both sides. There are many external factors involved.”

A glimmer of hope rose in everyone's hearts.

An Zhen smiled slightly, "After all, the God Realm won't just stand by and watch an outside world devour our world. War is not something that can be decided overnight. Even a war between two empires can last a long time, let alone a war between two worlds."

"When war breaks out, the enemy will come to our world through a method similar to a spatial rift. Although there is no plane master in the Douluo plane, there is a plane consciousness that can suppress these outsiders. Moreover, it is actually quite difficult for the plane master, whose strength is at least level 110, to come to our world in his true form."

"This is a danger, but also an opportunity."

"Most importantly, when the two worlds come into contact, it will be easier to break through to a higher realm. The Douluo plane will then lift the level 100 restriction, allowing Limit Douluo to truly glimpse the realm of becoming a god at level 100."

But reaching level 100 is not easy.

After all, this isn't the original Ultimate Douluo era, where the world had already advanced and had predecessors paving the way. They are the predecessors now.

As they listened to An Zhen's words, the expressions on everyone's faces changed from confusion to excitement.

God-level.

Who wouldn't want to glimpse this legendary level?

An Zhen took in the expressions on everyone's faces.

They want to bring peace to the Douluo Continent.

Pressure and benefits, double insurance.

Unity is not only for our own survival, but also for gaining more benefits.

Now, the pressure to survive and the benefits of becoming a god are right before their eyes.

“But becoming a god isn’t something you can do all at once.” An Zhen poured cold water on the somewhat excited elders. “Even if breaking through bottlenecks becomes easier, becoming a Limit Douluo is still difficult, let alone becoming a god.”

“From my personal point of view, what we should be preparing for now is to figure out how to deal with the enemy’s minions. There are countless extraordinary beings equivalent to mid-to-high-level Soul Masters,” An Zhen said. “That is far more terrifying than the beast tide, and its scale is definitely many times larger than the beast tide a thousand years ago.”

"Devastation and loss of life." Mu En slowly uttered the four words.

The expressions on everyone's faces also quieted down.

They were worldly-wise and knew the devastating consequences of war. What had been mere skirmishes in the past now threatened to engulf the entire world. It was unimaginable the horrific scenes that would unfold even at the very beginning of a war.

“We need to unite all forces that can be united,” Anzhen said. “After all, we are about to face a common enemy of the entire world.”

The crowd's eyes flickered slightly.

“First of all,” An Zhen revealed her purpose, “is to unite the Sun and Moon Empire.”

Someone exchanged a glance with the person next to them.

Someone opened their mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed the words back.

“I have learned about the peace treaty between the academy and the Sun Moon Empire. During this period, the Sun Moon Empire sold several level-nine soul tools at a low price. You should all have come into contact with them and know the power of level-nine soul tools. Moreover, this is what the Sun Moon Empire has shown to the outside world. Didn’t Elder Xuan send news a long time ago that the Sun Moon Empire has produced an unprecedented level-ten soul tool master?”

“With soul-guided devices, this powerful weapon of war can greatly reduce casualties,” An Zhen said.

Reasonable.

This is for everyone's benefit.

“Moreover,” An Zhen’s lips curled into a slight smile, “everyone has a certain understanding of the strength of the Sun Moon Empire. A powerhouse who is suspected to be in the demigod realm, two level ten soul masters, and the Holy Spirit Cult whose high-end combat power is no weaker than our Shrek Academy have all been directly eradicated. The Sun Moon Empire is fully capable of conquering the original Douluo Three Kingdoms. They have made up for the shortcomings of the last great war.”

"Expanding territory is an enticing achievement for any emperor, so why did that regent express the idea of ​​peaceful coexistence?"

Because the regent disliked war.

Of course, An Zhen was certain that no one present would think that way.

Everyone pondered. Recalling the intelligence about the Sun Moon Empire and what An Zhen had just said, Yan Shaozhe suddenly had a bold conjecture.

Yan Shaozhe spoke up, "Because that regent already knows that another world will arrive in two or three years?"

However, if war breaks out, while the Douluo Three Kingdoms are relatively weak, they are not without strength and will inevitably suffer considerable losses. Furthermore, even if they were to conquer them in two or three years, it would be difficult to completely subjugate the original Douluo Three Kingdoms. At that point, they would be facing internal strife and a world-class enemy from the outside, truly a desperate situation.

Yan Shaozhe's conjecture is not without basis.

After all, along with the mysterious regent appeared the Church of Life, which worshipped the legendary Goddess of Life. Is there a deity behind that demigod-level powerhouse?
“Yes.” Anzhen nodded. “That’s what I think too.”

Then, Anzhen recounted that his master, the God of Destruction, and the Goddess of Life worshipped by the Sun and Moon Empire were husband and wife.

Many of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion were somewhat bewildered by this sudden news.

No? You've become a family?
“However, it’s still uncertain whether that’s really the case,” Anzhen said.

“But in any case, the power of the Sun and Moon Empire is indispensable,” Moon said.

The situation is already very clear.

An enemy of the world requires a world of people to deal with it.

From a macro perspective, even in the most ideal scenario, if the original Douluo Three Kingdoms were capable of dealing with that world, they would still need to involve the Sun Moon Empire, sharing both the losses and the benefits. No single empire could stand by and watch the two sides fight.

On the other hand, soul tools can indeed reduce casualties significantly. If widespread bloodshed is unavoidable, Moon hopes to minimize casualties as much as possible.

The elders exchanged glances and nodded in unison. After all, the current situation was such that non-cooperation meant certain death. As for the form of cooperation and who would hold more power, that required further discussion.

Anzhen sat down.

Everything is ready.

However, it will probably be quite some time before we can have a real collaboration.

People are not united.

The situation is somewhat better within Shrek Academy, where Mu En still holds considerable prestige. The key issue lies with the various major powers on the original Douluo Continent side: the imperial family, and the top-tier forces possessing Super Douluo. Internal strife has always existed in human history, and achieving genuine cooperation before things truly become dire is difficult. However, despite being jokingly referred to as a fantasy sewer, it is ultimately a transcendent world where might makes right. With Shrek Academy leading the way, other forces from the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, even if unwilling, will have to join in.

What followed was a long and tedious discussion.

How to negotiate with the Sun and Moon Empire.

Should other major powers be informed?

What form should the final united front take?

We don't need to demand specific results, since everything is constantly changing and no one can predict what will happen next. However, we must have a general plan for the future.

Anzhen wanted to slip away, but Teacher Mu En called her back and kept her there.

“You will have to go through these things in the future, so learn from them,” Moon said.

The elders nodded slightly in agreement. Anzhen's talent was evident to all, and she had also received divine inheritance. If there was one person in the future who had the best chance of becoming a god and shouldering the responsibility of this world, it would undoubtedly be Anzhen.

"Fine," An Zhen said helplessly.

This discussion lasted all day.

Until dusk.

"The meeting is dismissed!"

Upon hearing this, Anzhen's eyes seemed to light up.

"How about we take a walk together?" Mu En appeared beside An Zhen, who was about to slip away.

"alright."

Because you're the elder.

An old man and a young boy walked out of the Sea God Pavilion.

Like grandfather and grandson, they strolled along the scenic Poseidon Island.

"Is the training difficult?" Moon asked with concern.

"It's pretty simple." That's how An Zhen felt. From taking over the Sun Moon Empire, eliminating the evil soul masters, and governing the country, apart from the unexpected incident with Sea Goddess Xiao Wu, everything went smoothly due to their absolute strength. "I even fought a level one deity under Teacher Destruction who sealed his power, and it felt pretty easy."

"Is that so?" Mu En looked at An Zhen, who was now much taller than him, with satisfaction. "If you were An Zhen, in the position of the Sea God Pavilion Master, how do you think you would integrate the various forces in the original Douluo Three Kingdoms?"

After thinking for a moment, An Zhen said, "The Star Luo Royal Family and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School are in-laws, so they already have a bond of friendship. Plus, there are interests involved. Moreover, they originally invested in me because they saw my potential. Besides, my brother-in-law and father-in-law are both smart people who know that they have to rely on our academy."

"As for other forces, we use military force as a deterrent, the pressure of survival, and promises of future benefits."

"What if they still refuse, or drag their feet?" Moon had practically watched this generation of leaders grow up, so he knew them quite well.

"Make an example of them." A cold glint flashed in An Zhen's dark eyes. "Anyone who dares to step forward will be killed, and that side will be severely suppressed. I will not allow any dissent among my subordinates during future world-class wars."

Backstabbing and internal strife are deadly in war.

If you don't appreciate my kindness, you're just asking for trouble.

Who says good people should be held at gunpoint? Who says good people should be morally blackmailed?

This is the real world of survival of the fittest, not some child's play.
