Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 378 Combat Strength Reserves
Time flies, and thirty years have passed in the spirit world in the blink of an eye.

In the still majestic and magnificent Sun and Moon Palace, Empress Moon Soul sat aloof, looking down at the assembled officials inside and outside the palace.

His powerful aura, though concealed, was terrifying, causing everyone to tremble with fear and lower their heads, not daring to utter a sound.

Clearly, years of training had enabled her to fully master the power of a first-level god.

On this basis, and further, with the ever-growing national fortune, the divine position was elevated to a level close to that of a god-king.

"This battle is the first battle for our Spirit Realm to set foot in the starry sky, and it is also the most crucial battle that will determine the future direction of our development!"

"I will not allow even the slightest incident within the Douluo Domain that could affect the front lines during this war. Do you all understand?"

The cold, authoritative voice echoed through the palace, startling all the ministers, who immediately knelt down without exception.

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

Seeing this, the Empress nodded without changing her expression, then turned her head slightly to look at the row of elderly men exuding a powerful aura at the edge of the palace.

"Commander Wuyun, this matter will be entrusted to you and the Moon Soul Guard in full charge."

"I grant you the authority to act first and report later; you must ensure stability in the rear!"

"If necessary, this warrant can be used to borrow the power of the New Holy Spirit Sect and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

Wuyun Douluo hurriedly stepped forward three steps, took the jade token with both hands, then knelt on one knee and loudly accepted.

"Your Majesty, I obey! Rest assured, if there is the slightest mistake, I, Wuyun, will bring you my head!"

Many ministers: "."

Damn, what an eye-catching bag!
We're all subjects, receiving royal stipends, why are you going to escalate things like this?!

The empire is currently at peace, and your Moon Soul Guards have already wiped out all the rebels.

Furthermore, even if all the gods in Mingdu have left, not a single Limit Douluo has moved. Who would dare to defy the world and make a move at this crucial moment?
Did Shrek give you the guts?

Their own sect members are still serving as slaves in the Sun Moon Empire; they have no interest in participating in a rebellion!
Sigh, there's nothing we can do. This guy is capable, efficient, and has a pleasant way of speaking.

Moreover, he was the Emperor's direct subordinate, so it's not surprising that he was able to climb to the top of the power.

Most people can't compare.

"Yes, Commander Wuyun has never disappointed me."

After saying that, Empress Moon Soul looked at her great-grandfather again. The latter understood and took the initiative to step forward, using his soul power to lift the prepared recording device and hand it to Han Ruoruo.

She then personally handed it to the Empress.

The principle that public and private matters should not be confused is an unwavering belief of this 180-year-old man.

"Your Majesty, as of yesterday, all combat forces of the Empire at the God level and above are recorded here. Please take a look."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan was both amused and exasperated, and shook her head helplessly.

Her great-grandfather was good in every way, except that he was too stubborn, especially as he got older, he became more and more stubborn in recent years.

I've given him the power to wear a sword and shoes in the palace countless times, and the power not to bow to the emperor, and now he's doing this? It's truly speechless.

"Great-grandfather, you... Sigh, never mind, let's get down to business first. I'll have Xiao Po handle your problem when we get back."

Before he could finish speaking, Kong Deming's eyebrows twitched, and he abandoned all pretense of composure, his old face filled with panic.

"Huh?! My dear granddaughter, no!"

"That brat really went all out. This old man is too old to take it!"

"You saw how he brutally beat up Old Wu and Old Du back then, every move he made was vicious! If you didn't know better, you'd think they were mortal enemies!"

"Hmph, good to know. It just so happens that Xiao Po has been quite bored these past few days, with nothing to do all day long."

Seeing that her great-grandfather had finally stopped acting like a subordinate, Zhang Lexuan turned her attention to the soul tool in her hand.

With a light stroke of her jade-like fingers, she had already made a plan for the personnel to be deployed this time.

"My great-grandfather, Teacher Zhongli, Elder Jing and Elder Du have already achieved the third level of godhood. When they unleash their full power, they can fight against a second level god without being defeated."

"There are also seven priests in the temple. Although their combat strength is average, they are enough to make a show of things."

"Elder Yi's combat strength is immeasurable, and he is likely no weaker than a God-King, which is being kept hidden as a trump card." "In addition, with the sisters in the family who have risen to prominence, we have the advantage in dealing with the high-end combat power of the God Realm!"

Having learned her lesson, Empress Moon Soul did not act impulsively as she had last time. Instead, she proceeded steadily and meticulously, keeping in mind all the forces available for this battle.

Moreover, having already learned about the challenger from Lin Po, she wouldn't be overly nervous or lose her composure due to worry about Lin Po.

She knew very well that in battles where the outcome was determined by high-end combat power, even a level three god would be no different from cannon fodder.

The most impulsive part of this arrangement was agreeing to let those four elderly people go to the battlefield.

If Lin Po hadn't secretly given them special instruction and assisted them in breaking through to godhood using new methods, she wouldn't have agreed to such a thing.

Even so, the four of them were still unable to set foot on the battlefield as the main fighting force.

At most, they could let Lin Po negotiate with Destruction and arrange for a few third-level or even second-level gods to practice on.

After all, he had been repeatedly beaten up by a group of young girls at home for more than ten years. If he didn't let them win a few more times, his Dao heart would probably collapse.

Gu Yuena and Lin Yuan need no further explanation.

The former was a god-king at his peak, while the latter perfectly controlled the power of the spirit realm, making them the two strongest under Lin Po.

Those whose strength is slightly lower than this level are Zhang Lexuan and Di Lingxi.

An imperial divine position representing the nation's destiny, and a divine position formed by the combined faith of two major races, granted them power that was infinitely close to that of the God-King.

Secondly, there is the trio of reborn soul beasts led by Xue Di.

As the earliest beings in the divine realm, they all possessed power comparable to a first-level god, thanks to the uninterrupted supply of the source.

The remaining three women, Meng Hongchen, Xiao Xiao, and Vina, were favored by Lin Po, and their cultivation levels were in no way inferior to their older sisters; they were all first-level gods.

The only weakness is in hard power.

Within the same level, it can suppress the opponent for a short time, but it is impossible to win quickly.

After all, those who can become gods are all geniuses, and none of them are inferior to the others.

Unless one is naturally powerful like Gu Yuena or Lin Yuan, or exceptionally talented like Zhang Lexuan or Di Lingxi, ordinary geniuses simply cannot fight across major realms.

Not to mention that their cultivation levels were pushed to their current level by Lin Po with a lot of resources!
Even so, the fact that their strength is still enough to rival a regular first-level god without being defeated is already quite impressive!
As for Han Ruoruo, forget about her.

This girl is like a god one day and a ghost the next.

Due to the special nature of divine positions, combat strength fluctuates greatly.

When she is strong, she can even hold her own against Zhang Lexuan when she goes all out for a moment; when she is weak, she may not even be able to beat an ordinary priest.

This puzzled Lin Po and the others greatly.

Finally, Zhang Lexuan couldn't suppress her doubts and used her authority to analyze her divine position, only then did she understand the source of her combat power.

What kind of good lady or good younger sister would use 'rebellious psychology' as a source of strength?!

So, during every moment of his all-out burst of brilliance, all he could think about was how to cheat on his sister, the Empress, with her!
No wonder he gets beaten up all the time!
The same applies to the soul beasts.

There are more than twenty battle-ready beasts, among which Di Tian and Xiong Jun can even fight across ranks, and together they are enough to kill most first-level gods.

In terms of core combat strength alone, they actually outnumber the human side by a considerable margin.

This shows just how much potential those soul beasts with outstanding bloodlines can unleash without the restrictions of the divine tribulation.

Fortunately, the territories of the two races were completely divided, and with Lin Po and Gu Yuena sitting high in the sky, no one or beast would dare to harbor any ill intentions even if their strength expanded.

At this point in her thoughts, the Empress, who had been lost in thought, suddenly snapped back to reality and realized that more than half of the morning court session had already passed, and the sun was shining brightly in the sky outside the palace, it was already the hour of Si (9-11 AM).

"You may all disperse. The morning court sessions will be suspended for the next six months, and the Emperor will appoint female officials to temporarily manage state affairs."

"I hope you will all strictly abide by the imperial decrees, perform your duties diligently, and refrain from making mistakes."

"My lord, I obey your order!"

Zhang Lexuan rubbed her throbbing temples and waved her hand without saying a word.

Seeing this, the hundred or so ministers dared not linger and quickly rose and left the hall, leaving the space to the Empress's close associates.
