Douluo: Twins of Fate

Chapter 281 Ominous Celestial Phenomena
Looking at the Evil Emperor before him, Jiang Shengyu laughed and said, "The Evil Emperor really doesn't suffer any losses!"

"For the sake of the Demon Forest, I must be cautious! But you have already demonstrated the power to persuade me!"

The Evil Emperor looked at Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong. He was not convinced by the Limit Douluo power displayed by the fusion of their martial souls, but rather by the recognition that this world had given them after their fusion!

This means that Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong are chosen ones, and not just any ordinary chosen ones!

It was as if the power of heaven and earth had become something they could control!
It was this world's recognition of him that led the Evil Emperor to choose to cooperate with him.

Jiang Shengyu looked at the Evil Emperor and said calmly, "Evil Emperor, opportunities don't wait forever! The terms of this cooperation are different from those of the previous ones!"

The Evil Emperor shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as my children in the Demon Forest aren't used as cannon fodder, it's okay if the profits are less! I don't care about those things! As long as my children can have a better future than they have now, that's enough!"

It can be said that among the three most ferocious beasts in the world, the Evil Emperor is the one who cares most about his clan's descendants. The Snow Emperor and Emperor Tian are even slightly inferior in this respect.

Extreme protectiveness is not just a casual remark.

It was precisely because of this mindset that the Evil Emperor, after confirming that Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong had a chance of success, still proposed cooperation even though the best opportunity for cooperation had already passed.

Seeing that the Evil Emperor made no attempt to conceal his thoughts, Jiang Shengyu laughed and said, "Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation, Evil Emperor!"

The Evil Emperor nodded, then pointed at Evil Spirit and said to the group, "I still need to protect the Demon Forest and cannot leave casually! Let this child go back with you as my messenger. Although she is young, she is clever."

Evil Spirit, Special Envoy of the Demonic Great Forest to the Sun Moon Empire!

Jiang Shengyu suddenly thought of this.

Jiang Qingtong gently patted Xie Lingling's shoulder and said to Xie Di, "Don't worry, Xie Di. We will definitely take good care of Lingling and promise to give you a healthy and chubby Xie Lingling in the future."

"I'm older than you, who's going to take care of whom!" Xie Lingling muttered.

Despite having lived for 100,000 years, Xie Lingling, under the protection of the Evil Emperor's wings, is even more naive than other 100,000-year-old soul beasts! Moreover, most of the Evil Eye Tyrants are like this, and some have even developed an arrogant attitude of being the only one who matters in the world in the Demon Forest.

Sun and Moon Empire, Mingdu.

The ruins of the old palace have long been leveled by large soul-guided instruments. With the soul masters and soul guides of various soul-guided instruments and earth-attribute martial souls working day and night to rush the construction, the new palace is not yet fully completed, but the main hall has been completed!
The magnificent main hall stands in stark contrast to the desolate construction site surrounding it.

This was a special emperor's enthronement ceremony!

Unlike previous emperors' coronations, this time the main theme is war and ruins.

On the vast open space, the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps and the Terror Claw Soul Master Corps stood on either side, while the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps was responsible for the most important security work! The civil and military officials stood in two rows, their expressions respectful.

Disciples from the Body Sect, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and other sects came to witness the ceremony. Ning Haoyu and Du Busi stood side by side.

Outside them were hundreds of thousands of residents of Mingdu, who had all come to witness the new emperor's enthronement ceremony.

Jing Hongchen led a group of level nine soul masters to stand below the high platform, waiting for the Emperor and Empress. Kong Deming, as the only remaining royal elder, led Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong slowly from a distance! Jiang Shengyu wore a gold-embroidered dress with sun and moon patterns, while Jiang Qingtong also wore a magnificent long dress.

The two held hands and followed behind Kong Deming through the crowd.

The band began playing ceremonial music!

Kong Deming led the two to the foot of the platform, stopped, and made way for them. Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong nodded to the group of level nine soul masters and ascended to the highest platform!

The ritual music reached its climax.

The two released their martial spirits, and the moon reflected in the water and the flower in the mirror swayed and rose. Jiang Shengyu's calm and firm words resounded throughout the entire ceremony: "From this day forward, I ascend the throne as Emperor!"

"Your Majesty, ten thousand years!"

"Long live the Emperor!"

"May the Sun and Moon Empire last ten thousand years!"

At that moment, the previously clear and bright sky seemed to change. Seeing this, Kong Deming frowned and asked in a low voice, "Is it going to rain?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen looked up and shook his head, saying, "Logically speaking, that's impossible. I had Elder Hong and Elder Ye observe the celestial phenomena and confirm that the next few days should be clear and sunny, without any clouds or rain!"

"Then... what's going on here?"

Kong Deming raised his head and looked up at the sky.

In the sky, clouds and mist churned, and dark clouds gradually appeared in the originally clear sky. The dark clouds rolled in and instantly covered the entire sky above Mingdu, and continued to spread!

In just a few breaths, the pitch-black clouds obscured the entire Sun Moon Empire! However, the three kingdoms that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent remained sunny and unaffected!
The soldiers at the border between the two sides in the Mingdou Mountains looked up at the sky and watched this scene in astonishment!
Ju Zi immediately sent someone back to Mingdu with the news, but by then, the residents of Mingdu were in a panic! Such a dark cloud covering the sun on the day of his coronation was an ominous sign!
Seeing this, Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong naturally knew what was going on. Seeing the crowd whispering and the situation becoming chaotic, the two clasped hands and their voices were like thunder, echoing throughout the entire square!
"If there is no sun in the sky, then I am the new sun! My lords, do not panic!"

The Pure Lotus Demon Flame ignited instantly, coalescing into a magnificent and sacred fiery sun in the sky. Its white light illuminated the entire capital!

But this only illuminated Mingdu; the vast Sun Moon Empire was shrouded in darkness, with dark clouds everywhere! Only the soul-guided light could give people a sense of security.

To truly illuminate the entire Sun Moon Empire with the light of raging flames, Jiang Shengyu's current seventh-ring cultivation level is insufficient! However, he can still mobilize the power of heaven and earth to keep the Pure Lotus Demon Flame in the sky burning and travel throughout the entire Sun Moon Empire, bringing light and heat.

Jiang Shengyu's soul power was being consumed rapidly, but between his and Jiang Qingtong's clasped hands, the soul power of their two bodies gradually merged, bursting forth with new power! This power made the Pure Lotus Demon Flame in the sky burn even more fiercely.

After the ceremony, the central government of the empire began to get busy. Such a terrible black sun scene required a lot of manpower to calm things down. Fortunately, after the Mingdu explosion, Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen had helped Jiang Shengyu complete the unification of the entire central government of the empire!

Even if this celestial phenomenon truly symbolizes misfortune, no one can use it to criticize Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong.
