Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 590 Dou Ling Xing Luo surrenders to Xu Yue Ran's request
"Then what do you want me to say? Besides, I shouldn't be considered your son anymore. You have no debt of gratitude for raising me, and you didn't give me the gift of life either," Yuwen Tuo said.

“I’ve heard that in the Sun and Moon Palace, bones were cut off to return to the father and flesh to return to the mother. You really are just like me, ruthless to the extreme,” Xu Yueran said. “That’s right, you don’t owe me anything now, but I still owe you. I’m here just to make it up to you one last time. Yuwen Tuo, let me ask you a question: Do you want to be emperor?”

"What do you mean?" Yuwen Tuo frowned. Was this woman trying to sow discord?
“If you want to be emperor, I can support you as the eldest princess and make you the emperor of the Star Luo Empire. With your strength, it’s not impossible for you to lead Star Luo to unify the continent,” Xu Yueran said. “Yuwen Tuo, you possess the strongest martial soul and talent in the world, and you have already become the strongest person in the world. Why do you want to continue to live under someone else’s roof? Wouldn’t it be better to take control of the world yourself?”

Upon hearing Xu Yueran's words, Xu Jiujiu's eyes lit up. Although Yuwen Tuo had long since lost all connection with them, in the eyes of many who were unaware of the truth, he was still born to Xu Yueran and was ultimately considered a member of Xingluo.

If the throne were handed over to him, and he were to lead Xingluo to unify the continent, it wouldn't be entirely unacceptable.

If Xu Yueran had said this before Yuwen Tuo massacred the worshippers and killed his elder brother, she would have definitely agreed. Unfortunately, it's too late now.
Looking at her elder brother's corpse, Xu Jiujiu felt a pang of heartache. How could she accept the person who killed her elder brother?

“I’m not interested.” Yuwen Tuo refused decisively. “My path is not the kingly or domineering way of becoming an emperor, but the chivalrous way of doing whatever I want and being free. Someone like me can’t become an emperor. Compared to that, I would rather help my senior sister unify the continent and then live a comfortable and carefree life with my loved ones.”

"As expected." Xu Yueran sighed. "Yuwen Tuo, since that's the case, then forget it. But my promise to surrender remains unchanged. However, I also have two conditions to make to you."

Yuwen Tuo frowned. "What right do you have to make demands of me?"

Xu Yueran said, "Just because you are Yuwen Tuo who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment, it is true that you have abandoned the flesh and blood I gave you, but if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have come into this world. That's one point. Also, your hometown, Shiwa Village, it's true that I abandoned you there, but the reason that small village with only seven households was able to develop was because of my secret assistance. I'm sure you understand this now."

Yuwen Tuo was silent for a moment, then said, "Speak, what are your conditions?"

"First, you cannot kill any of the remaining members of my Star Luo royal family. You must provide them with a stable life. If you are not at ease, you can have them all live in Tian Dou City, where they will be under the constant surveillance of the Empire and will not cause you any trouble." Xu Yueran's first condition was exactly what Yuwen Tuo had expected; it was indeed about saving people.

Yuwen Tuo nodded. "I can agree to half of this condition. As long as you surrender obediently, I will not kill you today. However, the final decision on how to deal with you will be made by Empress Vina. But I can plead for you as Grand Tutor."

Xu Yueran was right when she said that although his current body did not belong to Xu Yueran, he was still using Xu Yueran's womb to come into this world.

Who knows if she was behind the ambush in the valley back then? Even if she was, this debt of gratitude and hatred can be considered to have canceled each other out.

However, Yuwentuo could not deny her kindness in helping Shiwa Village.

This is a good opportunity to end all karmic ties with her.

“Okay.” Xu Yueran nodded.

She trusted Yuwen Tuo's integrity, knowing that this son, with whom she had little connection, was a man of his word.

With his intercession, Vina will no longer target the Star Luo royal family.

After all, Yuwen Tuo is the strongest person on the continent today, and no one can ignore what he says.

"Then, what is the second condition?" Yuwen Tuo asked.

He couldn't guess Xu Yueran's second request, but this woman wasn't stupid and probably wouldn't make an excessive request.

"My second condition is..." Xu Yueran hesitated for a moment before finally making up her mind, "I want to go somewhere, and I hope you can agree." "A place?"

half a month later.

In Lingdou City of the Douling Empire, Xu Sanshi succeeded to the throne as the only remaining heir of the previous Douling Emperor and submitted a letter of surrender to the Tianhun Empire. Vina accepted the surrender of the Douling Empire in the palace.

The Douling Empire has been destroyed.

The Heavenly Soul Empire had thus come to control more than three-quarters of the combined territory of the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent.

Within a month, she stabilized the various forces, and half a month later, Xu Yueran, as the eldest princess of Xingluo, announced the surrender of the Xingluo Empire.

Vina rushed to Xingluo City, accepted the letter of surrender, and returned to Tiandou City with everyone except Xu Jiujiu and Xu Yueran.

With the exception of a few stubborn resistance forces, the entire continent was basically in Vina's hands.

Next, she needs time to consolidate her newly acquired territories, quell rebellions, extinguish the flames of war on the continent, restore social order, and completely bring the entire continent under the rule of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Only then will the continent be truly unified.

However, Yuwen Tuo did not intend to get involved in what happened next, as he believed that Vina was capable of handling it.

He also had to do what he was supposed to do, which was to complete the ninth trial of the God of Fire and become a god.

However, before that, he needed to go to another place, Dragon City of the Heavenly Soul Empire, to cultivate for a period of time.

After all, purifying all the demonic flames is not so simple. Even with the power of fire, it takes a lot of time and requires one to devote their mind to resisting the demonic flames' erosion of their spiritual sea.

But in the end, the Demon Flame is just a type of fire, and the only thing that can counteract fire is ice.

It was about time when Nan Shui Shui invited Yu Wen Tuo to visit Di Long Men.

Yuwen Tuo first escorted Xu Yueran and Xu Jiujiu to where she wanted to go, then turned and left without looking back.

"Sister, why did you come here?" Xu Jiujiu asked, looking at the stone tablet at the entrance of the village, Shiwa Village.

Xu Yueran's second condition to Yuwen Tuo was that she hoped Yuwen Tuo would allow her to live here from now on, and that she would never leave the village again and would not cause Yuwen Tuo any trouble.

Xu Jiujiu came along because she couldn't bear to see her sister alone.

“I want to experience what that child’s life was like during those years,” Xu Yueran said with a faint smile. “We can’t avenge him, and we can’t continue our relationship with him. Let’s just be strangers for life. However, after I’ve experienced the same life as that child, perhaps I can understand him a little better.”
