Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 602 The Coronation Ceremony and Yuwen Tuo's Letter

After March.

Vina sat in the newly built palace of Tiandou City, processing surrender documents one after another.

After three months, with the help of the Body Sect and the Ghost Valley School, the rebel forces across the continent were finally quelled.

After processing the last letter of surrender, Vina took a deep breath and walked out of the main hall. It was nighttime, and the moon and stars in the sky were exceptionally bright.

This also represents Vina's mood at this moment, as bright as the moon.

"Nana, you seem to be in a good mood." Long Aotian came up behind Vina and smiled as he draped a robe over her shoulders.

Vina grasped Long Aotian's hand in return and said with a smile, "Aotian, I am very happy. I have finally completed all the things that Father Emperor instructed me to do before he passed away. I believe that Father Emperor would be very gratified if he saw this in heaven."

“Nana, actually, I was brought here by everyone. They said you have something very important to do.” Long Aotian said.

Vina looked puzzled. "What important thing? Is there some place I've missed and haven't conquered yet?"

Long Aotian shook his head, "No, the world has been unified. You are destined to be a legendary empress. However, we still lack a proper ceremony, namely, the coronation ceremony!"

"A coronation ceremony?" Vina realized that she didn't seem to have gone through any formal coronation ceremony.

After her father's death, in order to seize the opportunity to conquer the Sun Moon Empire in one fell swoop, she directly proclaimed herself the Heavenly Soul Empress and launched a war against the Sun Moon Empire under the banner of revenge.

Then he sent down the sun and moon, destroyed the Holy Spirit, annihilated the Fighting Spirit, and unified the stars.

After unifying the three great powers, war broke out all over the continent, and she spent nearly half a year suppressing rebellions everywhere. How could she have time to hold a coronation ceremony?

Now that things have settled down, it seems we really need to add one.

Vina thought for a moment and said, "It is good. I would like to inform my father's spirit in heaven with the coronation ceremony after unifying the continent. He will surely be pleased. However, there is one more thing. As the greatest contributor to the unification of the continent, our junior brother has not returned yet. Holding the coronation ceremony while he is not here would be a bit unfair to him."

"Hehe, Nana, don't worry. Junior Brother anticipated this situation long ago. Before he went to participate in the Nine Trials of the God of Fire, he left me a letter telling you not to worry about his affairs. He is by nature indifferent and doesn't care about so much. The coronation ceremony must be held as soon as possible. This is not just a ceremony, but also proof to the whole continent that the continent has been unified, to show that everything is new, and to reassure the hearts of all people. There are some things that only you can tell the world." After Long Aotian finished speaking, he took out a letter and handed it to Vina.

Vina took the letter and read it. There weren't many words on it, but every word was Yuwen Tuo's advice to her.

“Alas, my junior brother is truly talented. If he had accepted his identity as the Sun Moon Empire or the Star Luo Empire back then, and had the world in his heart, who could have been his enemy?” Vina sighed and looked at Long Aotian, saying, “Aotian, the thing I am most grateful for in my life is that I was with you back then to bring my junior brother back. He became one of our own, and he is the best gift that heaven has given me.”

"Pass down the order: prepare for three days. Three days later, the coronation ceremony will be held at Tiandou Mountain, the highest mountain in my Heavenly Soul Empire!"

"Leave it to me, Nana!" Long Aotian happily went down to make the arrangements.

He will soon become Vina's husband, and when his wife becomes emperor, won't he become empress?

Although it sounds strange, it's a good thing overall. After all, his martial soul is his skin, which naturally includes his face. With his thick skin, what's wrong with him becoming the live-in son-in-law empress openly and honestly? Three days later, the coronation ceremony took place.

On the crowded Tian Dou Mountain, the representatives of the Star Luo Empire were Xu Jiujiu, Xu Yun, and Xu Yueran, the representative of the Sun Moon Empire was Xu Tianzhen, and the only remaining members of the Dou Ling Empire were the royal family member Xue Lingxun and her son Xu Sanshi.

The strongest force on the mainland, the Body Sect, led by its leader Poison Immortal; the two vice leaders of the Ghost Valley Sect, Xiao Xiao and Qiu'er; and the Mingde Hall Master, Jing Hongchen, etc.
The leaders of these continent's most powerful forces stood in a line, waiting quietly.

And only one person has the right to make these people wait like this: the supreme emperor who unified the continent.

"His Majesty has arrived!" With a shout, the guards blew their horns.

A figure clad in golden robes emerged slowly, surrounded by numerous powerful figures, and headed towards the mountaintop. Her beautiful face was incredibly solemn. It was Vina.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" A thunderous roar erupted from below, expressing their approval of Vina.

"See Your Majesty."

Xu Tianzhen, Xu Jiujiu, Du Busi, Xiao Xiao, and others also bowed in greeting. All the imperial and sect forces had now come under one rule, making this empress truly deserving of the title.

Vina raised her hand and gently pressed it down, and the scene immediately quieted down. She slowly spoke, "Everyone, I am very happy today. The Douluo Continent, which has been divided for ten thousand years, has finally ushered in unification. From now on, the people of the Douluo Continent are not divided into Heavenly Soul, Douling, Star Luo, and Sun Moon. You are all citizens of the Heavenly Soul Empire, of the same nationality and the same race. I hope that everyone will put aside past grievances and work hard for the prosperity of the continent."

"From this day forward, I will unite the four kingdoms, bringing the world under one rule, protecting Douluo and safeguarding our nation. I hereby swear in the name of the Emperor of the Continent! As long as I live, I will defend our land, expand our territory, pacify all directions, and establish the eternal foundation of my Heavenly Soul! Even in death, I will transform into a divine soul, protecting the Douluo Continent for eternity!"

As she spoke, Vina took out a letter from her long sleeves. "This letter is a warning from Grand Tutor Yuwen Tuo to me, as well as some principles of being a ruler. Today, I will read it aloud to everyone so that the world may take heed."

"A king who lives on the blood and sweat of the people should devote himself to governing with all his might in order to be worthy of the title of monarch. If he sits high above and receives the worship of the masses without doing anything, and clings to the so-called 'imperial power', then the so-called emperor is nothing but a corrupt existence."

"A ruler should have three wishes: First, that all people rejoice, and that the honor and glory of all citizens of the Heavenly Soul Empire be evident everywhere! Second, that the Heavenly Soul Empire be filled with auspicious omens, that dragons lurk in the abyss, that phoenixes dance in the heavens, that the vast land be blessed with a long and prosperous reign! Third, that all people rejoice, and that auspicious omens fill the universe!"

"As emperor, one must make five promises: First, all my decisions are based on the interests of the nation and the people's livelihood. I hope my subjects will understand and work together for development. Second, all my words are for the sake of the country and its people. I hope my subjects will remember them and put them into practice. Third, under imperial power, no matter is insignificant. Every word I utter must be recorded in history for the world to witness. Fourth, the way to govern a country lies in employing the right people. I am willing to select virtuous and capable individuals, regardless of their background, to work together for the great cause of the nation. Fifth, my country does not belong to me alone, but to all the people of the world."

After Vina finished reading the letter Yuwen Tuo had written to her, she exclaimed, "Grand Tutor's words should be the ancestral precept of our Heavenly Soul Empire. In the future, those who do not have this awareness will not be qualified to inherit the throne. I hope that future emperors will remember this."

With the release of this letter, the nation's cohesion was immediately elevated to its highest level.

Instantly, an astonishing roar erupted throughout Tiandou Mountain: "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

Subsequently, Vina promulgated new national laws, increasing the privileges of Soul Masters while also imposing more restrictions.

In this way, while Soul Masters still enjoy many privileges, they also face many restrictions. At least under this law, ordinary people are considered human beings by the high and mighty Soul Masters, rather than stray dogs that can be trampled on at will.
