Douluo: The Peerless King Dong'er's Restarted Life

Chapter 324 (This chapter, the coronation ceremony, is not informative and can be skipped) The Ice Queen and the Blazing Sun Empress (4 words)

Ming Dynasty Imperial Palace.

The palace suffered minimal damage and was repaired quickly.

After the disaster relief was completed, the affected people received advanced medical technology from the Soul Masters. In addition, with the help of the Immortal Healer Douluo after the explosion, most of them have recovered a lot, except for those who were seriously injured.

With the officials making arrangements, a grand ceremony for the new emperor's ascension to the throne is about to begin.

The ceremony was to be held in front of the palace.

That is the venue where the Soul Fighting Tournament was once held.

As the protagonist of this coronation ceremony, Wang Dong'er also changed into a brand-new imperial robe.

The emperor's robe was black with gold thread woven with sun, moon, stars, mountains, and dragons, adding to his majesty. The maids held their breath and moved nimbly as they adjusted Wang Dong'er's final accessories, with jade pendants symbolizing the sun and moon hanging at her waist.

"Your Majesty, the auspicious hour is approaching." The official's voice was respectful and low.

Military strength and high position are not always equivalent. In the past, Wang Dong'er would never have imagined that she would one day become an emperor for fun, even though... she became an empress.

Wang Dong'er took a deep breath. The cool air still carried a hint of the smell of new wood and paint after the palace's renovation. As the most important landmark in Mingdu, the Sun and Moon Palace had the most defensive soul tools.

If it weren't for Ju Zi and Jing Hongchen, even with the help of Di Tian and Gu Yuena, it would have been impossible to arrive at the palace so quickly and capture Xu Tianran in one fell swoop; it might have taken several more days.

Several guards pushed open the incredibly heavy palace doors, and sunlight poured in, bringing light and warmth to the hall.

After the horrific explosion, this was the first time Mingdu had seen such bright sunshine, as if the entire world was celebrating the ascension of its new ruler.

Indeed, this was the case. Wang Dong'er felt a touch of luck, which reminded her of the speculation that arose in her mind when she noticed the changes in Wang Qiu'er and Xiao Xiao.

The road leading to the square in front of the palace has been cleared, and on both sides are the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps, standing solemnly like a forest in their gleaming armor. The original ninth-level Soul Master who was the corps leader did not survive, and it is now in the hands of Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin.

Unlike the Royal Dragon Soul Master Corps, which is loyal only to the royal family, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps follows the emperor's logic of loyalty.

With the support of Kong Deming, the father of level nine soul masters, along with other level nine soul masters and officials, and the fact that the level nine soul master who was originally the leader of the group was killed without hesitation, the deputy leader naturally surrendered immediately.

Moreover, Wang Dong'er's actions of leading people to rescue the victims, expel and kill the evil spirit masters were witnessed by countless people in Mingdu, and the name of the Goddess of Light had long been spread throughout Mingdu.

The news of Xu Tianran's collusion with the Holy Spirit Cult has been exposed, and Shrek Academy has once again caused this devastating explosion. The people of Mingdu are now in dire need of a force they can believe in.

The palace gates slowly opened, and the scene outside unfolded like a scroll painting.

The once spacious square where the competition was held has now completely changed.

The ruins have been cleared away, and new bluestone slabs have been laid on the ground.

The altar stands tall in the center of the square, appearing solemn and dignified.

The banners around the square fluttered in the wind, bearing the newly designed emblem representing the Sun and Moon Empire—the Sun and Moon Shining Together.

The civil and military officials, dressed in solemn court robes, stood solemnly on either side of the altar according to their rank.

Further away, there was a vast, dark mass of people, the people of Mingdu, and even some from other places who had watched the Soul Battle Tournament and survived the Mingdu explosion.

But it wasn't just ordinary people; some of the participating teams that had been detained by Xu Tianran's men and hadn't been able to return to their sects or academies were also among them.

People who had survived the disaster, received medical treatment, and were rebuilding their homes all gathered here. Some of them even came spontaneously, their faces still showing the relief of surviving the disaster. Their eyes, as they looked at Wang Dong'er, contained expectation, curiosity, and some barely perceptible unease.

After all, it was the first time for the Sun and Moon Empire that a woman had ever become empress.

Although an empire called the Spirit Empire once existed in the history of Douluo Continent, and Bibi Dong, who was known as Her Majesty the Pope, was also an empress, that was just a legend. Now, however, they are truly witnessing history.

When Wang Dong'er appeared outside the palace gate, followed by super ferocious beasts, titled Douluo, and level nine soul masters such as Gu Yuena, Di Tian, ​​and Kong Deming, the crowd instantly became excited.

Wang Qiu'er, Xiao Xiao, Meng Hongchen, and other members of the Bright Hall were also in the group at this moment.

The three spirits, Ice Emperor, Snow Emperor, and Ah Jiao, also manifested here to participate in the ceremony.

Even Electrolux appeared as Wang Dong'er's teacher, but because he only had a soul body, he could only manifest a physical body through Huo Yuhao's simulated soul skill.

The sunlight seemed to have become stronger, yet it was still very gentle, only giving Wang Dong'er's black imperial robe a dazzling golden edge.

"Goddess of Light!" Someone among the people shouted first, and then various other titles began to be shouted by the people.

The officials were also somewhat surprised by this situation. Although they had placed spies among the people, the first slogan they should have shouted was "Long live the Empress!"

Clearly, this was a spontaneous outcry from the people.

Since the news of Wang Dong'er's impending ascension to the throne spread, she has acquired even more titles.

Previously, during the Soul Fighting Tournament, people only referred to her as the Goddess of Light, the Goddess of Ice and Snow, and the Goddess of Blazing Sun because of her martial spirit and skill performance.

But now, with a new identity, people have started to change their slogans again. Although they were eventually unified into "Long Live the Empress," Wang Dong'er heard those titles before the unified slogan was adopted.

They called her "Ice Queen" and "Sun Empress".

"Long live the Empress! Long live the Empress! Long live the Empress!"

The officials knelt down in unison, their movements as smooth as waves of wheat in the wind. The common people below also knelt in unison, along with those from other places and some of the participating teams.

The sheer force of the attack was overwhelming, like a tidal wave crashing down on Wang Dong'er.

Of course, not all sects and academies were willing to kneel down. Some of these people didn't even appear, or simply rested and left Mingdu the day before the coronation ceremony.

After all, unless someone is extremely brainless, everyone knows that this is not the time for them to act eccentrically.

Otherwise, no matter how good-tempered Wang Dong'er is, her subordinates will not let them off the hook.

Looking down upon her subjects and empire, which now belonged to her, Wang Dong'er finally felt a surge of pride.

From the very first day she came into this world, she faced a threat from Tang San. At that time, she had no time to worry about much else, only to constantly seek benefits and strengthen herself. As more and more people followed her, her shoulders also bore more and more hopes and responsibilities.

The future of this world, the future of the spirit beasts, the future of ordinary people...

These things originally had little to do with her, but they became connected because of her relationship with the person behind her.

Having come this far, Wang Dong'er finally truly feels that she has formed a close connection with this world.

Winning isn't just for yourself, but also for those behind you.

The land beneath her feet had recently witnessed fierce competition and suffered the ravages of disaster.

Today, this land silently bears witness to the new beginning of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Wang Dong'er slowly raised her hand, her movements steady and powerful. It was just a simple gesture, yet it seemed to carry an invisible force, quickly calming down the deafening roar of "Long live the Empress!"

Then, Wang Dong'er stepped out.

As soon as they stepped onto the altar, the music officer quickly began to conduct. The high-pitched and melodious sound of horns pierced the sky, and a magnificent melody symbolizing the harmony of heaven and earth and the brilliance of the sun and moon resounded. The solemn and sacred sound waves washed over every corner of the square, and gradually faded the lingering shadow of disaster in everyone's hearts.

There weren't many steps on the altar, and the countless gazes that gathered around didn't affect Wang Dong'er's steps. Every step she took was very steady until she reached the top of the altar.

"The sun and moon shine together, it really is the sun and moon shining together!"

Among the people, some looked up at the sky in astonishment. It was broad daylight, yet the phenomenon of the sun and moon shining together was clearly visible.

At the center of the altar, wisps of smoke rose from the incense burner, reaching straight into the sky. The enormous jade disc, representing the sun and moon, shimmered with a warm luster under the sunlight. The officiant, dressed in the most solemn sacrificial robes, began to recite the sacrificial text.

After all, it was no longer a matter for the Xu imperial family. Although the eulogy was solemn, it was not particularly long. Unnecessary things such as tracing the origins of the empire and praising the achievements of the ancestors were not included.

"I humbly behold the vast and boundless heavens, whose power is infinite; whose virtue sustains all things, who initiated the primordial chaos… The imperial mandate has been bestowed, the divine regalia has found its master. The sun and moon shine once more upon the land of China, the mountains and rivers are rebuilt in a new era. All people look up with anticipation, all saying that the divine regalia cannot remain vacant for long; the ministers have poured out their blood and sweat, jointly declaring that the great throne should belong to the most virtuous. The Sun and Moon Empire now has an Empress, Wang Dong'er, who has been entrusted with this mission in a time of crisis, rescuing the people from suffering and saving the nation from collapse… I respectfully inform Heaven and Earth that she has ascended the throne, and all the empire is now unified…"

"...May my new dynasty enjoy a long and prosperous reign, as enduring as the Southern Mountain; may my people be blessed with peace, health, and prosperity, as blessed as the Eastern Sea. May the winds be favorable, the crops abundant; may wars cease, and calamities forever quelled. May my virtue and benevolence flow for ten thousand generations, and may my teachings extend to all corners of the world!"

Although the official's cultivation level wasn't very high, with the amplified soul guide device, his voice was as loud and clear as a great bell, awe-inspiring.

After the eulogy was read, the officiant respectfully stepped aside.

Wang Dong'er lit the incense sticks on the altar, symbolizing heaven, earth, and humanity, and the officials and common people once again began to shout "Long live the Emperor!"

The coronation ceremony, featuring technological soul tools, was drawing to a close. Now it was Wang Dong'er's turn to give her speech.

The people of Mingdu had just experienced a great disaster, and their emotions were running high. Naturally, they hoped that the new emperor could strike back hard.

Shrek Academy is destined to be nailed to this pillar of shame.

Wang Dong'er didn't say many polite words. After going through the proper etiquette, she directly addressed the conflict between Shrek Academy and the evil soul masters.

"...I hereby guarantee that it will not be long before the calamity of Mingdu is returned to Shrek Academy a hundredfold! And those evil spirit masters in the gutter will have nowhere to hide under the brilliance of the sun and moon. The sun and moon shine together, illuminating the universe, eternally bright and everlasting!"

"The sun and moon shine together, illuminating the universe, eternally bright and everlasting!"

Although this wasn't a beer hall, and there weren't loaves of bread worth 500,000 marks each, Wang Dong'er herself was incredibly special, and her speech undoubtedly stirred everyone's emotions.

The system, which had not made any major moves for a long time, became active again at this moment.

Wang Dong'er had originally considered whether to pursue the path of the Federation in the future. After all, while it was feasible to have Xu Jiujiu betray her older brother, the three great empires were just minor matters; those sects were the real tough nuts to crack.

Moreover, although she is now the emperor, it is only to unify the continent. She cannot actually handle government affairs day and night like an emperor. Institutions such as the Three Dukes, the Three Provinces, the Cabinet, and even a parliament will definitely need to be established.

The emperor's power was based on the principle that all land under heaven belonged to the emperor, and all people within the realm were his subjects. Clan sects, on the other hand, were like aristocratic families, even more arrogant than aristocratic families, and would never willingly submit to imperial power.

The most prominent representative of sects is naturally the Body Sect.

However, that's a matter for later. Besides, if Wang Dong'er really unifies the continent, then the saying that sects are not subject to the empire will be a complete joke.

Moreover, Wang Dong'er and Du Busi had developed some acquaintance. Du Busi was a stubborn person who wouldn't listen to reason, but under special circumstances, he wouldn't want to become a sinner who would cause the Body Sect to perish in history.

For example, absolute suppression.

Poison Undying regards his original martial soul as a divinely favored power, but the "god" is actually on Wang Dong'er's side, just like this coronation ceremony.

With the improvement of her cultivation, especially after receiving the Emperor's Mandate, Wang Dong'er was able to sense the call of the divine position from back then. Although it was still very weak, she was able to determine its general location.

Although it's unclear why the Goddess of Life left behind a divine inheritance, it could be considered a way to counter Tang San.

However, even a cunning rabbit has three burrows, and Wang Dong'er also has another way to fight against Tang San and even the God Realm, besides inheriting the god's position, although it still only exists in theory.

That is to create a divine realm by oneself.
