Douluo: I Have an Unnamed Law

Chapter 435 Su Qinghe: People can really laugh when they're speechless.

"It's alright. I understand you're being monitored by the Spirit Empire, so I can understand why you need to be careful."

Tang San waved his hand. He didn't believe that Xue Qinghe had no intention of restoring the country. The reason he kept refusing was probably because he was being monitored. If he made any move, he would be severely suppressed.

Tang San replied, "I understand, I understand."

Su asked, "Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, there is still one thing I don't understand."

"Excuse me," Tang San said with a faint smile.

Su Qinghe asked, "I want to know why Brother Tang was following me, and how he knew my name?"

"This"

Tang San was somewhat stumped by the question. To be honest, meeting Xue Qinghe was indeed unexpected, so it was normal for her to ask him this, but he hadn't yet figured out how to answer.

Fortunately, Tang San had lived three lifetimes, including one as a God King, so he could readily come up with various reasons. In this moment, he quickly came up with a clever explanation, shaking his head and sighing with feigned profundity:

"To be honest, this matter is too unbelievable to explain, and I'm afraid that Brother Xue Su won't believe me if I tell you."

"Haha, Brother Tang, please speak."

Su Qinghe laughed and gestured for Tang San to speak first. As for whether he believed it or not, they would have to wait until Tang San finished speaking.

"I've had a peculiar habit since I was a child: I often dream about many things I will experience in the future, as well as some unfamiliar people who actually exist in this world."

"Oh, is there such an interesting thing?"

Su Qinghe didn't believe it in his heart, but on the surface he still showed his surprise and wanted to see how the other party would continue to make up stories.

"Yes, it is indeed unbelievable, but I have verified it many times since I was a child, just like Brother Su."

"When I saw Brother Su just now, I felt that you were very familiar, as if you had appeared in my dream. That's why I followed you. But I was afraid of being presumptuous and didn't know how to greet you, which caused you to misunderstand. It was my fault."

Su Qinghe thought to himself, "This is quite a well-made story. Let me test it out and see how long you can keep this up."
Thinking this, Su Qinghe continued to ask, "Then, may I ask, what was I like in Brother Tang's dream?"

"This is a long story, and it's not convenient for us to talk about it here. Could we find a suitable place to sit down and talk it out slowly?"

Tang San had now confirmed that the person was Xue Qinghe, not Qian Renxue.

An idea suddenly came to his mind: after he became a god, the Martial Soul Empire would inevitably cease to exist, and he would need obedient agents in the mortal realm to help him manage it.

Tang Sect and Shrek Academy are just some of them, but that's not enough.

He needs a human regime, but it cannot be a unified regime; it needs to be mutually opposed, yet share a common belief in him.

As long as there is war, the world will be in chaos. When the world is in chaos, he will have the opportunity to use the name of justice and peace to have Shrek Academy and Tang Sect settle the war in his name, and incidentally show his power to make people more convinced of him and provide a continuous source of faith.

If peace lasts too long, faith will decline. At that time, someone needs to stir up trouble on the mainland. When chaos breaks out, people will yearn for salvation. At this time, he will step forward and end all the chaos.

If this continues, the faith in him will never be extinguished.

He is both justice and evil, only he ultimately appears as justice and benevolence.

A unified regime is too difficult to instigate with large-scale wars, so it needs at least two, but no more than four, empires to emerge.

This was a tactic he employed in his previous life. During the decline of the Tang Sect, Shrek Academy was his most important pawn. With the existence of the Sea God Pavilion, he could issue his own orders at will.

He knew of the existence of evil spirit masters, and Shrek Academy had the ability to completely eliminate them, returning them to the state they were in when the Spirit Hall was the leader of the spirit master world—just a few big cats and a few small cats.

But if that happens, no one will create chaos or panic, and the greatness of the sea god will not be apparent.

Therefore, in his previous life, his approach was to allow evil spirit masters to grow stronger, but also to put a lock on them. Once they grew to a certain extent, he would have the experts from Shrek Academy clean them up.

Of course, there are times when things go wrong, such as when an evil spirit master becomes ridiculously powerful, to the point that even Shrek Academy's strength cannot suppress them.

It doesn't matter. At this moment, all that's needed is for this great God-King to bestow justice and compassion, and strengthen the Shrek Academy's Soul Masters.

By repeating this process over and over again, the automated faith collection plan can be completed.

His purpose this time was to plant the seed of restoring the kingdom in Xue Qinghe.

The two found a quiet, elegant building and sat facing each other. Tang San recounted his memories of Xue Qinghe from his past life. Su Qinghe listened attentively, pondering the other's logic.

"So, in your dream, the Heaven Dou Empire didn't fall, Xue Xing didn't ascend the throne, but Xue Ye did, and I was still the Crown Prince, but I was assassinated by Qian Renxue, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall?"

"That's right, you are undoubtedly a kind and benevolent crown prince, but you saved the wrong person, letting a wolf into the house. You were assassinated by Qian Renxue and replaced, and she also secretly killed two princes. Only your younger brother Xue Beng pretended to be a playboy and lowered Qian Renxue's guard, thus saving your life."

"The Heaven Dou Empire's benevolent rule and love for its people are what the people want. The reason why people keep urging you to rise up and restore your country is because the Heaven Dou Empire still has its prestige and the people still support it. This also indirectly shows how unpopular the tyranny of the Martial Soul Empire is."

"And you, as a direct descendant of the Heavenly Dou royal family, should take up the banner and save the people from suffering!"

Tang San pointed at Su Qinghe, speaking righteously and with an extremely serious tone.

"Only by restoring Tiandou to its former glory and reverting to its old system can the people of the world live in peace and prosperity!"

Upon hearing this, Su Qinghe smiled, and when he looked at Tang San, his expression shifted subtly from that of a stranger to a friend.

"Hehe, hahaha, hahahaha!!"

Su Qinghe was speechless. He burst into laughter, his laughter filled with sarcasm.

Tang San frowned and asked, "Brother Su, why are you laughing?"

Su Qinghe stopped laughing and pointed at Tang San: "I laugh at your ignorance! I laugh at you, a dignified disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, serving those remnants! Hahaha!!"

Tang San stood up, pointed at Su Qinghe, and cursed, "Your country has been destroyed, yet you do not think of restoring it. How can you face your ancestors?"

Su Qinghe smiled dismissively: "You can't talk about ice with a summer insect. Farewell!"

After saying this, Su Qinghe waved his sleeve and turned to leave.

If he had been pampered since childhood, he would have hated the Spirit Empire and felt a burning desire to restore his country when he heard Tang San's words.

But unfortunately, he is not.

Su Qinghe raised his calloused hands, recalling his experience of going to the countryside with his teachers to help farmers with farm work.

He once chatted with an old farmer, asking him if he missed the old Tiandou Empire.

"The Heaven Dou Empire?" The old farmer smiled and patted Su Qinghe on the shoulder: "Child, I'm a few years older than you. I came from the era of famine and war. Back then, we came to Wuhun City because the Heaven Dou Empire ignored us."

"It was Wuhun City that gave us food and shared land with us."

"Oh, by the way, you're a Soul Master, right?"

Su Qinghe nodded.

The old farmer continued, "In the past, Soul Masters were all high-ranking figures, they wouldn't come to help us with our work like you do."

"We don't care who the emperor is; we only know who treats us well, and that's who we'll recognize as our emperor."

"Child, there's nothing to miss about the Heaven Dou Empire. All we remember is pain, hunger, and the humiliation inflicted by Soul Masters."

Su Qinghe asked, "But aren't there any Soul Masters bullying you now?"

The old farmer grinned: "I've never seen it before, but I have seen you, the once high and mighty Soul Masters, now helping us with farm work. This is something I never thought of or dared to imagine in the first half of my life."

"Alright, we've almost finished this morning. Come back with me and have some watermelon to cool off."

After this conversation, Su Qinghe asked some people the same question. Although their answers varied, they were all the same: no one missed the Heavenly Dou Empire. When they talked about Heavenly Dou, they were filled with hatred, disdain and contempt.

He also left Wuhun City and went to the countryside and mountains in various places, where he saw the devastation and the imperial soul masters who helped them rebuild. He even joined them.

All the conversations were about how good the Martial Soul Empire was; not a single person mentioned missing the Heaven Dou Empire.

Oh, not entirely. Those former local tycoons who were once rich and ruthless, now fallen into poverty and living as ordinary people, actually miss the Heavenly Dou Empire quite a bit.

Now, Tang San tells himself that the hearts of the people of the Heaven Dou Empire are still with them.
It's absolutely laughable.

He knew that the so-called popular sentiment they spoke of did not represent ordinary farmers and the Soul Masters who had already submitted, but rather those clowns who had lost their titles and whose living standards had declined due to the establishment of the Martial Soul Empire, and who were now dissatisfied.

If that is the will of the people, then what is the will of the people of the world?
