Chapter 384 The Last Heavenly Soul
The contemporary Haotian Douluo, with his own life, fought for the sect's disciples...

Less than a minute of free time plus harsher punishment for resisting—this increased the time spent as a laborer.

Master-slave contract.

Spiritual Imprint (Laborer Version)

The faction of the Haotian Sect members was immediately forced to change.

"Don't look so bitter and resentful."

Is this what it looks like to actively engage in labor reform?

"At least our Douling Empire treats prisoners well, guaranteeing you three meals a day and medical care. Honestly carry out ideological and labor reform, recognize your mistakes, and strive to get the opportunity to start anew and turn over a new leaf as soon as possible."

Anzhen said a few words briefly.

Of course, there is a chance to start anew.

Unless it's a crime that doesn't warrant death, there should always be some hope for the future.

An Zhen wasn't worried about them causing trouble after their release from prison. These guys weren't fanatics; it was clear from the beginning that they wouldn't go to their deaths meaninglessly. And by that time in the future, it would be a completely new world, where the voices of a few individuals couldn't stop the tide of history. Instead, they would be swept along, either integrated into it or crushed to pieces.

Anzhen sent this group of people to Lingdou City.

Labor reform tasks were uniformly arranged.

In the spirit of humanitarianism, the elderly, the weak, women, and children are given preferential treatment. (This excludes powerful Soul Masters.) This part involves ideological reform.

The rest will all be sent to labor reform.

Also brought back were the knowledge books stored within the Haotian Sect that An Zhen had copied. Among them, only some ancient classics had a little value; the rest were simply the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique from ten thousand years ago, used without any improvement or innovation.

However, referring to a certain god-king who was praised for his exceptional comprehension, he used the Mysterious Heaven Technique from his past life to this one, ascended to godhood, and even used the same technique after reincarnation in the original work.

It doesn't seem so strange anymore.

"They're just a bunch of people who only know how to swing hammers."

An Zhen didn't plan to return to Shrek City to tell Wang Dong about what had happened here. However, she didn't hide the information or prevent the news from spreading either. But for Wang Dong, who was currently busy in seclusion to improve his strength through the Divine Trial, it was estimated that quite some time would have passed before he learned about it.

The destruction of the entire Haotian Sect's headquarters was not part of An Zhen's original plan.

But, this is also good.

"It's better to let the bad past fade away."

"Dong'er, you will have a wonderful present and future."

The first step is to address the threat posed by Tang San.

……

at the same time.

Heavenly Soul Empire.

Two figures swaggered into the Heavenly Soul Palace. Compared to the officials beside them, their gait was extremely arrogant, causing the officials in the hall to frown.

"You two," Emperor Tianhun said calmly, "I wonder what brings you here, Your Majesties?"

"Naturally, I have come to convey His Majesty's decree," said the Dragon-Subduing Douluo.

"Oral message?"

Emperor Tianhun frowned. "If it is an exchange between the rulers of two countries, they must personally write the letter of state, affix the official seal, and send a trusted minister as the envoy."

Oral pronouncements are instructions from superiors to subordinates.

"What level do you belong to?" Fuhu Douluo said with displeasure. "You dare to sit on equal footing with my emperor?"

The so-called royal family is nothing more than a family with a larger territory. In the eyes of the continent's upper echelons, only strength and influence are the criteria for judgment; the title of "Imperial Royal Family" offers no extra advantage. If judged solely by raw power, the Heavenly Soul Royal Family might not even rank in the top ten across the entire continent, let alone dare to stand on equal footing with their god-like Emperor. If it weren't for the absence of sect alliances or similar entities within the Heavenly Soul Empire, you would have already been paying protection money.

"presumptuous!"

"Be bold!"

The courtiers were immediately enraged.

Guardian Douluo Lü Chengkun stepped forward with displeasure. "Gentlemen, this is the Heavenly Soul Empire."

"The Heavenly Soul Empire?" Dragon Subduing Douluo sneered. "What, were you originally able to command the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Heavenly Dragon Gate, or Shrek Academy?!"

"If you look at the rulers of the major empires today, who is as incompetent as your Heavenly Soul Empire?"

"You..." The Heavenly Soul Emperor's face flushed red, his usual composure instantly crumbling. The Dragon Subduing Douluo's words struck a nerve, a pain shared by every Heavenly Soul Emperor.

They watched helplessly as a country within a country appeared in their empire, but instead of putting them in a bad light, the Heavenly Soul Royal Family issued one decree after another, which was almost equivalent to ceding territory and recognizing the other side's independence, just to save face for the royal family.

"Moreover," said Fuhu Douluo, pointing directly at the Heavenly Soul Emperor, "your ancestors were descendants of those who betrayed their king and were disloyal ministers. What face do you have to call yourself emperor?"

"Now, our Emperor is merciful and orders you to surrender quickly, so that your descendants may be guaranteed wealth and honor."

"Arrogant and outrageous!" Emperor Tianhun roared, his face contorted with a ferocious expression.

"If he really wants war, then let him fight!"

"But if the Sun Moon Empire were to invade at this time, leaving us no time to defend ourselves, then An Zhen would truly be a sinner for all eternity!"

The Heavenly Soul Emperor's right hand, clenched tightly beneath the sleeve of his robe, veins bulging, was blazing with rage. If it weren't for Elder Lü's telepathic message that these two were Super Douluos, and that a forceful attack would not only fail to capture them but also endanger everyone else in the hall, including himself, and utterly disgrace the Heavenly Soul Empire, he would have loved to kill those two bastards.

What's even more infuriating is that An Zhen!
And those damned sects and families! Why! Why don't they listen to the emperor?!

"Sun Moon Empire, Sun Moon Empire, it's the same old tricks again." Dragon Subduing Douluo mocked mercilessly, "What a piece of trash. You might as well go and become the son of the Sun Moon Empire. Beg them, and maybe they'll take pity on you and slap you."

If this Heavenly Soul Emperor truly dares to declare war, then at least he has some courage and fighting spirit.

He may appear so brave, but in reality, he's using this as an excuse to avoid battle.

He's a spineless coward who doesn't want to surrender but is too afraid to fight.

Leaving behind a hall full of angry Heavenly Soul Empire members, Dragon Subduing Tiger Douluo left directly.

Next.

It was a scene of the emperor and his ministers united in their hatred of the enemy, denouncing An Zhen.

"It's just Anzhen, nothing more." Emperor Tianhun said calmly, "How dare he list the Sea God as an evil god? We can organize and unite all those who are devoted to the Sea God to fight against him."

"Yes, yes," the ministers nodded with smiles.

This is in the main hall.

After leaving the palace gates.

As usual, the civil and military officials returned to their respective homes.

then……

Some packed their belongings, preparing to flee.

Some sent their own sons and brothers to the Douling Empire, preparing them to abandon Tianhun and join Douling.

"War? What a load of rubbish!" Faced with his son's doubts, a high-ranking official of the court patiently explained, "What's this talk about uniting those who are loyal to the Sea God? Even the Sea God Pavilion has become the World Pavilion, and the acting sect leader of the Haotian Sect was killed by that person. Which powerful individual or large organization would be willing to die for someone from ten thousand years ago?!"

"That trashy Heavenly Soul Emperor, he wants to die, but I don't."

He pledged his loyalty to Emperor Tianhun for the benefit of his family, not to die in vain for that fool.

The Star Luo royal family is related to that Dou Ling Emperor by marriage, and the current head of the World Pavilion at Shrek Academy is also a top expert in the world, with two Limit Douluo under his command. To oppose such a person is simply courting death.

So what if the Sun Moon Empire really attacks?

He didn't know whether others were safe or not, but the Heavenly Soul Empire was definitely doomed.

that side.

A side hall within the Heavenly Soul Imperial Palace.

Inside the hall were only the Heavenly Soul Emperor and the Guardian Douluo Lü Chengkun. The Heavenly Soul Emperor was slumped on the head seat, his disheveled appearance completely unlike the confidence he had shown when he denounced An Zhen.

"Lord Lü, what should I do? What should I do!" Emperor Tianhun slapped his head with both hands, feeling as if his head was about to explode. His nightmare had come true.

Leaving aside the weakened Tang Sect, which had already been absorbed by the Douling Empire, it lacked any significant fighting force. However, the two acting sect leaders of the Haotian Sect, the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape who once followed the Sea God Tang San, were both killed by An Zhen. Would anyone really stand up for the Sea God and oppose An Zhen? Ten thousand years have passed, and the world has changed drastically. If anyone truly remembered the Sea God Tang San, the Tang Sect wouldn't have weakened to the point where a Soul Emperor could seize its foundation.

Perhaps the Haotian Sect could, after all, their acting sect leader was killed by An Zhen. But even if they were to join forces with the Haotian Sect, they still wouldn't be a match for the Douling Empire.

In terms of high-end combat power, it's a completely one-sided affair. It's impossible for several Limit Douluos to suddenly appear within the Clear Sky Sect. If the Clear Sky Sect had that kind of strength, they wouldn't have remained silent until now.

And the so-called threat of invasion by the Sun and Moon Empire.

The other party dared to openly challenge Tang San, the Sea God who ascended to godhood ten thousand years ago. Whether they had some confidence or were arrogant, they certainly wouldn't care about such a threat.

Is the destruction of his kingdom all that awaits him?

Will the glory of the empire end in his generation?

"Surrender or die fighting."

Lu Chengkun said, "But if it's about surrendering, Your Majesty already missed the opportunity in court earlier. Those two Super Douluo were clearly just going through the motions, which is why they were so arrogant and rude. However, if Your Majesty can be more tolerant than most people, it could be an opportunity for you."

"But His Majesty is unwilling to suffer such a great humiliation!"

"Then..." Lü Chengkun asked, "Is Your Majesty willing to face the Douling Empire's military might as the last emperor of the Tianhun Empire and die for your country?"

"..."

The air was silent.

After a long while, Emperor Tianhun looked up at the ceiling.

The look in his eyes shifted from despair and blankness to a ferocious hatred.

Having long suffered from nightmares, the moment the nightmares came true, they transformed into the deepest and most vicious hatred.

"I can die."

The Heavenly Soul Emperor's hoarse voice was like a venomous snake lurking in the darkness.

"But you want my throne, you want my empire!"

"No matter the cost, I will never let An Zhen get away with this!"

"I want to drag him down with me to die!"

"Your Majesty?" Lu Chengkun's expression froze. He had watched this emperor grow up, and this was the first time he had ever seen him so frantic and filled with such vicious hatred.
