Douluo Jueshi, world modulation mode

after a while.

It is about 100 miles away from Baicao City.

Beside a stream.

A streak of blood flashed across the sky.

A man, even more disheveled than when he was fleeing, collapsed onto the damp earth.

His clothes and body hair were all burned off, and the once handsome man now looked like a charred piece of coal. Zhongli Wu rolled over, panting heavily, his parched throat making a sound like a broken bellows.

'Now, they probably won't chase after us, right?'

Zhong Liwu believed that unless one was a god, all means of mental perception would be rendered ineffective in such a terrifying explosion.

And with such a terrifying explosion, it was impossible for Shrek's group to escape unscathed.

"Damn Shrek!"

"That wretched An Zhen!"

The charred fist slammed into the soil.

Zhongli Wu's movements aggravated the already roasted flesh on his body, but no amount of physical pain could dispel the sorrow and anger in his heart at this moment.

In order to escape.

He not only lost his most powerful beast spirit.

They also lost the flesh and blood and soul they had accumulated over such a long time.

Otherwise, given his severe injuries, it would have been impossible for him to escape so far in such a short time.

why!
Is this a sign that Heaven intends to destroy their Holy Church?
He lost the foundation of the Holy Church built over thousands of years, lost his closest relatives, lost his lover, lost his beast spirit, and was left with only this broken and severely injured body.

Such a devastating blow left Zhongli Wu feeling utterly helpless, almost as if she had never felt before. She even felt like crying.

This can be described as the biggest fall in Douluo Continent in nearly ten thousand years since the gods left.

"Want to cry? Do you want to cry in your mother's arms?" A voice suddenly rang out, making Zhongli Wu feel as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

"you--"

Before Zhongli Wu could speak, his vision blurred, and a chill ran down his spine from behind. He was bound to an ordinary ice pillar, his body secured by a technologically advanced chain. Gold and silver patterns adorned the chain, radiating a faint spiritual light.

"How can it be!"

Zhongli Wu looked at An Zhen, who appeared before him seemingly unharmed, and exclaimed that it was impossible. Defense is difficult to defend against; the only possibility was that the opponent had evaded it. During the battle, the opponent did indeed display a very powerful spatial soul skill, but under such an intense explosion, space itself would be affected and become extremely chaotic. Unless one has a very deep grasp of space, even a veteran Limit Douluo like his mother, Uncle Long, could not do that.

“Why not?” An Zhen looked at Zhong Liwu with a playful expression.

Zhongliwu remained silent.

The other party was not injured.

Even their mental perception seemed unaffected.

Otherwise, how could I have caught up with him so quickly?

Zhongliwu was making a last-ditch effort.

However, the little bit of soul power left in his body felt like a stone sinking into the sea, and he couldn't mobilize it at all.

Zhongli Wu then turned his attention to the ropes binding him.

"This is..." Zhongli Wu was stunned. "A level nine soul tool, how did you get this?"

He remembered hearing Xue Leng and Xue Kui mention that the Sun Moon Empire had reached some cooperation with Shrek Academy, and even the Star Luo Empire.

But Anzhen gave him an unexpected answer.

"As the Regent of the Sun Moon Empire," An Zhen said calmly, "isn't it normal for me to possess a level nine soul tool?"

The air fell silent for a moment.

The next second, Zhongli Wu's face contorted in rage, and a roar like that of a wild beast rang out, "How is this possible! How is this possible! How could you possibly be the Regent of the Sun Moon Empire!"

How could the other party be the one who felt like a nightmare to him!
Zhongli Wu stared intently at An Zhen, his eyes seemingly bloodshot.

"Heh." An Zhen chuckled lightly, "Do you remember the first thing I said just now? Do you want me to let you go and cry in your mother's arms?"

Ripples in the space formed a doorway beside An Zhen, from which a tall figure emerged. Removing the black robe draped over her head, a calm, serene face was revealed. Her exquisite features bore the marks of weathered maturity, imbued with an indescribable air of holiness, yet her expression remained lifeless.

The moment he saw the figure clearly, Zhongli Wu let out a nearly collapsing wail, "This is impossible!"

Having lost everything in just a few years, Zhongli Wu, who hadn't even flinched when his lover sacrificed himself, finally broke down, tears streaming down his face.

The person who appeared was his mother, Ye Xishui!

So, the person in front of him is the culprit who made him lose everything! "Aaaaah! An Zhen!" Zhong Liwu roared, his face contorted with unprecedented rage, like a demon crawling out of hell, almost insane. "I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"

His grand career, his closest relatives, his beloved...

The violent struggle caused the chains binding Zhongli Wu to tighten automatically, tearing open his charred skin and revealing one bloody wound after another. In just a few seconds, he was covered in blood, but Zhongli Wu didn't care at all. He continued to struggle like a madman, shouting "I'm going to kill you!" Blood kept flowing, and Zhongli Wu's strength and life were draining away, his voice growing weaker and weaker.

In the depths of despair and hatred, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, who had roamed the continent for a century and committed countless sins, causing the deaths of many and shattering countless happy families, was about to reach the end of his life.

An Zhen watched quietly as Zhong Liwu's breath grew weaker and weaker.

Infuse the chains with soul power to unlock them.

The leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, whose life was about to end in this tragic manner, lay on the ground like a dead dog.

“For many, death is a release,” An Zhen said softly. Black boots slammed down on Zhong Liwu's back, kicking him into the portal to the undead demiplane. “But you don’t deserve it!”

Even death is not enough to wash away your sins.

"Your soul will suffer eternal torment, and your body will be used to benefit the people of the mainland."

And so, the curtain falls on the Holy Spirit.

Only an icicle and some bloodstains remained on the ground.

May the souls of the innocent find peace.

So many people have died at the hands of the Holy Spirit Church.

An Zhen put away the chains, allowing the undead Ye Xishui to return to the undead demiplane, and then turned and left.

He was going to end the rebellion.

Those in positions of power seek personal gain, so why is it always the ordinary people who suffer?

……

When Anzhen returned, she announced that Zhongliwu, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, was dead.

Having already witnessed the massive explosion in Baicao City, the people of Baicao City, and Song Guozhong and the most elite troops of the Douling Empire who arrived at the scene, already regarded An Zhen as a god.

Next, An Zhen used the image of the Taotie Divine Ox to roughly restore the ecosystem outside the city, which had become scorched ruins, allowing the army to pass through normally. Then they suppressed and took over the cities that had been captured by the rebels, and finally the rebels' hometown. Apart from Xue Kui and Xue Leng, the nobles who acted with them involved a total of four provinces.

Their entire family was exterminated, and their property confiscated.

Along the way, An Zhen also inspected the crimes committed by other nobles. Those with minor offenses received a warning and had some of their property confiscated. Those with serious crimes faced beheading and confiscation of property. Among them were several particularly heinous criminals who trafficked people and forced women into prostitution. An Zhen not only confiscated their entire families but also sent all those involved to the undead demiplane to receive the "evil soul master" treatment.

In no time, the name of the Iron-Blooded Prince became widely known.

Nobles who form a community of shared interests will naturally not allow themselves to be slaughtered.

After An Zhen personally killed the Super Douluo and two Title Douluo from a reclusive sect invited by the nobles, the nobles kowtowed and confessed their sins, expressing their willingness to offer up their family property.

Some places are truly dark and unsightly if you don't check them. An Zhen was so angry that she cursed at the corpse of the Super Douluo:
"You bastards! Those damn nobles laid their hands on a five-year-old girl, and you bunch of scoundrels dare to plead for them! You have no shame! What shame do you scoundrels have to live with?"

Sensing something amiss and filled with anger, An Zhen stormed the reclusive sect. Under the omniscient authority, no shadow could hide. An Zhen directly destroyed the sect's dirty dealings with some nobles, ransacked the homes of several nobles, and beheaded one after another.

With so many nobles and local officials who colluded with the nobles killed, a huge vacancy for administrative personnel has emerged.

An Zhen, using his omniscient authority, selected some capable and upright individuals. Fearing they might not be able to withstand the pressure and temptations, he directly brought a group of sixth-year students from Shrek Academy who did not intend to take the inner court exam, along with a group of inner court students, to serve in these official positions.

While Shrek's education may have some problems, at least these students are proud and disdainful of colluding with nobles. Their values ​​teach them to protect the weak, and like headstrong kids, they are not afraid of offending anyone.

Perhaps they have some problems in certain aspects. But at least they wouldn't bully ordinary people, they are full of passion, and they possess values ​​of kindness and protecting the weak.

The treasures confiscated from noble households were sold by Anzhen to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School in exchange for money. This money, along with the confiscated funds, was used to purchase basic necessities and subsidize the innocent victims of the rebellion, helping them to return to normalcy and improve their lives. The remainder was partly deposited into the national treasury for unforeseen circumstances, and partly reserved as seed money for some of Anzhen's planned pro-people policies.

An Zhen knew that reform could not be accomplished overnight.

But the darkness before him was truly intolerable to him.

How infuriating!
It even seemed as if he were cutting through the Douling Empire from east to west and from south to north.

at the same time.

The news that An Zhen had almost single-handedly killed the Holy Spirit Cult's leader and deputy leader spread across the continent at an extremely fast pace.

Includes some videos stored in a specially made soul tool.

This was recorded based on images revealed through the visualization of thought and found in the records of heaven and earth by the omniscient authority.

It records some of An Zhen's heroic moments in the battle with Zhong Liwu, rescuing Dean Yan Shaozhe, creating that shocking explosion, and protecting everyone in Baicao City.

The intention was to enhance Anzhen's reputation.

The Holy Spirit Cult's leader and deputy leader, one a level 98 evil spirit master and the other a level 97 evil spirit master, are incredibly influential.
