Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 300 The World is Unified, and the Fate of the Nation Returns
Under the overwhelming power, the takeover of the Star Luo Kingdom proceeded very smoothly.

In addition, the Moon Soul Empress's policy of "three major disciplines and six points of attention" meant that the vast majority of cities and towns did not put up much resistance.

When hundreds of thousands of regular troops from the Sun and Moon Army arrived at the city gates, the defending soldiers and the city lord immediately opened the city gates and surrendered.

Only a few nobles and lords who intended to resist the purge adopted a scorched-earth policy, hoping to fight a desperate battle with their fortified cities.

Unfortunately, in the face of technological warfare, even the thickest city walls are futile, offering no resistance whatsoever.

In the end, he only deserved to become a live target for the soul guide and a laughing stock for the soldiers.

Meanwhile, the vanguard of the three major Soul Master Legions has arrived at the border of Heavenly Soul, awaiting the final battle to unify the continent.

However, just as the two armies were facing off and the tension was rising, the top leaders of both sides sat down together, a rather disharmonious scene between the sisters.

"Vina, are you sure you want to surrender with your troops? Doing so might invite criticism!"

"Besides, you know Xiao Po's personality. If someone dares to gossip about you behind your back, who knows what they might do after they come out of seclusion!"

At this moment, Zhang Lexuan looked at her new sister with a helpless expression, her voice full of advice.

Vina, however, calmly shook her head, and with her usual gentle smile, softly replied:

"Elder sister, compared to one person's reputation, I believe the lives of soldiers and civilians are more important. I will try to persuade Brother Lin Po."

"Sigh, before we met, I never imagined you would have this kind of personality."

"No wonder Xiao Po always gives you such high praise whenever he mentions you."

With a sigh, Zhang Lexuan's expression changed, and she rarely displayed the demeanor of the eldest sister in the family.

"This is out of the question! My sister absolutely disagrees! And I, Xiao Po, will certainly not agree either!"

"I understand your desire to protect your people, but that's no reason to hurt yourself!"

"Moreover, in a war between two countries, it's impossible for one side to surrender without a single battle!"

“In that case, elder sister, send your great-grandfather to the battlefield, and younger sister, you bring over the Poison Sect Master and let the two of them fight.”

"A battle of ultimate strength, win or lose. In this way, we can give the people of Tianhun an explanation. What do you think?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Vina's beautiful eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly.

"Great! Big sister is so clever, how come I didn't think of that!"

"You little rascal, you're always trying to trick me into talking. I don't believe you can't figure it out," Zhang Lexuan said, her imposing manner softening as she smiled and lightly tapped Vina's forehead.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, big sister, I won't do it again."

Zhang Lexuan: "."

What's up with this younger sister? Why does she give off such a nagging vibe?
Afterwards, the two women discussed for a long time in the Sun and Moon Army camp how to make the performance more realistic and flawless.

The feelings of the two elderly people involved were completely disregarded.

Poison: "Hiss, your empress is pretty ruthless."

Kong: "Let's not talk about who's who. Your princess may be young, but she's got quite a few tricks up her sleeve."

The two elders remained silent for a long time before letting out a long sigh.

They're all little devils, what can they do?
Just accept your fate!
A moment later, Kong Deming and Du Busi, standing high in the sky above the battlefield, looked at each other in silence, clearly neither of them wanting to make the first move.

If it were a real fight, neither of the two elders would let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But they're all so old, to have them fix matches in front of everyone...
This was unbearable for the two elderly men who were extremely concerned about their image.

Unfortunately, their most beloved junior is a close friend in private, and they also have a connection with Lin Po, so they can't let such a small issue affect their relationship.

So, the two reluctant old people fought back and forth under the watchful eyes of hundreds of thousands of people, but their fighting lacked any passion whatsoever.

Kong Deming fired a powerful but ultimately ineffective silver moon ray, while Du Busi unleashed a punch that was all show and no substance—a mere display of his original combat technique.

Ultimate combat was somehow turned into a turn-based game.

On the contrary, the many ordinary soul masters below watched with great interest, believing that this was an effect that could only be achieved by returning to simplicity at the ultimate realm, and studied it diligently. In this way, the two elders fought for most of the day, truly capturing the attention of the entire world.

Finally, Poison Undying couldn't stand this boring drama any longer and exposed an opening, taking a direct hit from a Soul Guiding Ray.

Glancing at the chest emitting wisps of smoke but without even a scratch, Poison Undying's lips twitched slightly, and he cursed inwardly:
'That old man! Can't he be serious for once?! He could at least draw some blood!'

Then his eyes darted around, as if he had thought of an excellent way to escape.

Then, amidst the horrified or speechless gazes of the crowd, Du Busi spat out a mouthful of blood.

While shouting loudly, he flew towards the Body Sect's headquarters without looking back.

"Kong Deming! I am not in good condition today! We will fight again another day!"

Kong Deming: "."

Holy crap?! He didn't even break the skin, yet he forced himself to use his soul power to cause internal injuries. Is this old guy really that shameless?

I had only ever heard of the "unrestrained and carefree" nature of the Body Sect members before, but today I've finally seen it in person!

No! He ran away, what am I going to do?
What if this spreads the word that I'm the best in the world? Wouldn't my peaceful life be ruined?!
Just as Kong Deming was filled with worry, Empress Yuehun flew between the two armies and announced the 'ending' of Tianhun.

"I, the Emperor Yuehun, am moved by Princess Vina's compassion for all living beings and her unwillingness to see soldiers and civilians die. Therefore, I have decided to wage a decisive battle against her."

"If Your Majesty is victorious in the fight against the poison, the Sun and Moon will grant the Heavenly Soul a hundred-year respite! If you are defeated, the Heavenly Soul will return to the Sun and Moon."

"Now that the outcome is clear, I hope you will not let Princess Vina's efforts go to waste. Minimizing casualties and returning home safely is the best way to repay her!"

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Soul faction was instantly in an uproar, and everyone looked at Vina with tears in their eyes.

Seeing this, Vina also deployed her flying soul tool on her back, responding to the Moon Soul Empress from afar.

"Everyone, this is the will of Heaven, and it is beyond human power to change. I forgive Vina for being powerless; preserving the Heavenly Soul and the lives of all people is the limit."

"I hope that after you return to your hometowns and live peacefully, as long as you have no rebellious intentions, Empress Moon Soul will treat you all equally!"

At that moment, a shout rang out from the army, sounding quite abrupt.

"Your Highness, we're leaving now. What about you?"

Upon hearing this, Vina smiled slightly, unexpectedly revealing her longing for freedom.

"Me? I'll naturally stay in Heaven Dou City and start a brand new life. Maybe I'll open a trading company, maybe I'll become a traveler. There's always a path in this world more suitable for me than the title of princess!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the Heavenly Soul soldiers, now free from all worries, laid down their weapons and retreated in different directions.

The military commanders also removed their armor and sat down, awaiting the Sun Moon Empire's instructions.

Once the soldiers had completely dispersed, Zhang Lexuan flew to Vina without any hesitation and said with a hint of teasing:
“Vina, you can start a business if you want. The Spirit Soul Business Guild is big enough for you to manage.”

"But being a traveler isn't quite an option right now. The mainland has just been unified, and I have a lot of work to do that I need your help with."

"Ah! Sister, let's find someone else! State affairs are too troublesome!" Vina said, feigning alarm.

"Hmph, no way! You think you'd be willing to work for Xiao Po, but now you want to be a hands-off boss with your older sister? Be careful, or I won't let you sleep with me!"

"Oh dear... Sister, you've gone bad! You're actually using this to scare me. I give up!"

"This is right!"

The two women chatted and laughed as they flew towards Tiandou City, preparing to take the final step before unifying the continent.

. . .

Inside the Sea God's Temple, Tang San, who considered himself exceptionally talented, managed to successfully control a tiny fraction of the Asura God's power after cultivating for half a day.

Its total amount accounted for one-thousandth of the Asura divine power in his body, which was a tremendous improvement for him.

"Hmph! Mere Asura divine power, if it weren't for the grand plan of ten thousand years, would I have tolerated your insolence for so long!"

However, before Tang San could even boast a few words, an unusually familiar 'crackling' sound came again, making him tremble with fear.
