Chapter 321 Music, The Three Great Insect Empires
Inside the conference hall, after Lin You and Huo Yuqin left, the three emperors exchanged a meaningful glance. Xuan Lao stood at the door and said, "Your Majesties, I will take my leave first."

Elder Xuan then withdrew, closing the heavy conference hall door behind him.

As soon as he closed the door, his old face lit up with a smile. In a flash, a chicken leg appeared in his hand, and he happily munched on it as he walked away.

"Hehe, that kid Lin You has even dared to mess with the three emperors. He's got some nerve. With these two waves of technological development, they'll definitely benefit from them. The more the empire begs Shrek Academy, the better Shrek Academy develops. These two kids haven't even reached the title level yet, and they've already brought about such a big change. If they grow up later, what will become of them?"

Elder Xuan didn't care about Soul Guidance Technology; he was a pure supporter of the Martial Soul system. However, he wouldn't deny the impact of the development of Soul Guidance Technology on the Douluo Continent. The most obvious example was that Shrek Academy's reputation had risen, and its status had become even more prestigious, which was something he was happy to see.

The rulers of the three empires sat facing each other, and for a moment no one spoke. The soul-guiding lamps in the hall emitted a uniform light, illuminating their faces and reflecting their different expressions.

"You're scared."

Vixuanlang of the Heavenly Soul Empire was the first to break the silence. He was the eldest of the three, with his white beard neatly trimmed. "I could tell from your expressions that you were all thinking about the impact of this technology on the empire."

Emperor Xuefeng rubbed his temples: "Why hide it? If these technologies spread, even commoners can use soul tools. Aren't you worried? For thousands of years, the reason why soul masters have been able to rule is because we possess power that commoners cannot reach. They are shallow and will definitely cause trouble, affecting the stability of the empire."

His meaning was actually very simple: the common people don't need to know too much, nor do they need to know too much knowledge, and they certainly don't need to use any soul tools.

Nobles, Soul Masters, and Sects—this is the core structure of a nation.

Even if a few outstanding individuals emerge from among the common people, they will enter one of the three systems mentioned above, rather than establishing a new one. For a country, social classes have long been fixed.

Furthermore, the fact that even the soldiers of the Star Luo Empire were unaware of the existence of Martial Souls in the original work, instead regarding them as special abilities, demonstrates that none of the three great empires are entirely innocent.

They all weaken the connection between Soul Masters and ordinary people, preventing ordinary people from becoming Soul Masters and from awakening their powers, thus cutting off the unstable factors that affect their rule over the empire at the root.

However, the price they paid was that the army consisted of too many ordinary people and too few Soul Masters, so they were beaten up like dogs on the street by the Sun Moon Empire.

Therefore, the fall of the three great empires was not without reason.

A new era has arrived, but these insects, in order to maintain their dominance, have chosen to obstruct the irreversible tide of history and attempt to reverse the chaos. This is why Lin You did this. You cannot stop someone from moving towards a better life; otherwise, you will become their enemy.

This kind of country is no ordinary insect; we must strike hard.

Xu Jiawei stood up, walked to the window, and looked towards the academy's experimental area: "This technology, like the Soul Spirit system, is unstoppable. Instead of resisting it, we should guide it."

"guide?"

Wei Xuanlang snorted coldly, "Do you really think that after a lowly commoner obtains this kind of power, he will still obediently bury his head and eat grass? Current soul tools require soul masters to provide soul power in order to use, which is a natural barrier. But that kid Lin You's self-circulating energy system has broken through this barrier."

Xu Jiawei turned to face the two emperors: "That's why I said, instead of stopping it, we should guide it. The noble class of the three great empires are all Soul Masters. They will be the first to obtain these technologies and then control their spread speed and scope."

Emperor Xuefeng shook his head: "You're too idealistic. Once technology appears, it will spread at a rate we can't control, especially technology that can make the weak stronger." "But the problem now is," Wei Xuanlang interrupted, "we must reach a consensus. If one empire refuses to accept this technology while other empires do, then the balance of power will be broken."

Xu Jiawei returned to his seat: "Moreover, the Sun Moon Empire has been ahead of us in soul guidance technology for over a thousand years. If we refuse even this technology, then only destruction awaits us."

The three of them were silent.

Xu Jiawei's words hit the nail on the head. The threat from the Sun Moon Empire had always hung over their heads, which was the fundamental reason why they had to come to Shrek Academy to seek cooperation.

"Perhaps we can control the way technology spreads."

A glint of light flashed in Xuefeng's eyes. "Support Lin You's research, but ensure through policy that the technology can only be produced and sold by state-authorized institutions."

“Then add restrictions to the device,” Vixuanlang continued, “such as requiring official certification periodically to continue using it.”

Xu Jiawei nodded: "This is a compromise. We support technological development while maintaining control over it. Lin You doesn't seem to care about power; he only cares about promoting the technology itself."

The three discussed the details further and finally reached an agreement. They would fully support Lin You's research, but would use various policies and measures to ensure that the speed and scope of the technology's spread were within a controllable range. At the same time, they would also begin to cultivate a group of elite Soul Masters who had mastered this technology to ensure that the Soul Master class would maintain its advantage in the new technological era.

"And then there's the Soul System." Before leaving, Emperor Xuefeng reminded him, "This technology may be even more revolutionary than the self-circulating energy system, and we need to formulate corresponding policies."

Xu Jiawei's expression was complicated: "The Soul Spirit System means that Soul Beasts can actively choose to cooperate with Soul Masters instead of being hunted, which will completely change the relationship between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts."

"The problem is, who can guarantee that a soul beast will abide by the contract? And how can we ensure that a soul master can be matched with a suitable soul beast?"

Wei Xuanlang frowned. "For thousands of years, soul beasts have been the prey of soul masters. This relationship cannot be changed overnight."

"The Starry Sky Forest has expressed its support for the Soul Spirit System."

Xu Jiawei said in a low voice, "I have personally witnessed the power of the Beast God Di Tian. Believe me, if the Soul Beasts are truly committed to implementing the Soul Spirit System, we have no reason to refuse, nor can we refuse. Otherwise, we will become enemies standing in the way of all Soul Masters."

The three ultimately agreed to publicly announce their support for the Soul System, but the specific implementation details still need further discussion.

After the three emperors left, a figure emerged from a dark corner of the conference hall—an elderly man with an extraordinary demeanor, none other than Elder Mu of the Sea God Pavilion.

He stared silently at the empty conference hall, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.

Then, Old Master Mu sighed deeply.
