Douluo: I founded the mecha tribe and I am the king of mecha battles!

Chapter 248 Drinking poison to quench thirst
The sudden large-scale hot war initiated by the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire has come to an end.

There are no winners on either side.
The Imperial Tutor of the Star Luo Empire and the Grand Marshal of the Dou Ling Empire have fallen.

The naval fleet suffered 54% damage.
Of the 10,000 combat soul masters and 60,000 ordinary soldiers, over 60% were killed or wounded.
However, the Sun and Moon Federation did not gain any benefits either.
The Western Legion was almost completely wiped out, the Northwestern Legion's mobile forces were completely destroyed, and the fleet suffered a loss of 60 percent;
General Dong Zi'an, commander of the Western Legion, died in battle. A total of thirty-one Title Douluo died in the War God Hall, the Western Legion, the Northwest Legion, the Sea God Legion, and the Central Legion.
The Federation reclaimed the West Coast, but it greatly inspired the people and leaders of the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire, which were far away across the ocean!

The Sun and Moon Federation is not invincible!

Tiger Demon Heaven, who had made outstanding contributions in blocking Chen Xinjie, was awarded the title of Grand Marshal of the Star Luo Empire.
Emperor Bai Jinzhao of the Douling Empire was granted the title of Grand Marshal of the Douling Empire.

We are sharpening our weapons and preparing for another battle against the Sun and Moon Federation!
For a time, the situation on Douluo Star was in turmoil!
The Beast Merchant Guild controls the East China Sea, and the general managers of the two major imperial branches have become the Grand Marshals of the Empire.

The Sun and Moon Federation is currently besieged on all sides.

"It's truly remarkable that in the blink of an eye, the Star Luo Empire, the Dou Ling Empire, and the Sun Moon Federation have all been manipulated at your disposal."

"The Tang Clan is half-destroyed. Even if the legendary sect leader, who is rarely seen, were to return, it would be difficult to make any progress."

"Shrek Academy's invincible status has been broken, and it can only passively retreat in order to maintain peace."

"The Spirit Pagoda's attitude is ambiguous, but it basically already has the desire to cooperate deeply with the Beast Merchant Guild."

Gu Yue, dressed in a uniform secretary outfit, sat listlessly on the sofa in Chen Zhou's office, organizing her thoughts from the past few days.

It must be said that, given absolute power, no matter how powerful a nation is, even if it knows there's a trap involved, it will still try to recruit the generals of the Mech Beast Merchant Guild.

Chen Zhou shook his head and said calmly, "Actually, this kind of thing is very simple and has been commonplace in countless historical events."

"A thorough reading of history reveals that many times, those in high positions do not remain indifferent to anything. Humans have desires, and these desires drive these high-ranking individuals to willingly drink poison even when they know it is a self-destructive act."

Chen Zhou stood up. The finishing touches on this plane had already begun, and he hardly needed to make any adjustments.

Huo Wuji, Jinzhao Shen, and Hu Shatian are all top-tier overlords who command armies and control their respective regions. Their plan to reclaim the Douluo Continent is being implemented simultaneously on three fronts, combining offense and defense. Naturally, there's no need for Chen Zhou, the Mech King who has been hiding behind the scenes, to intervene.

Gu Yue listened to Chen Zhou's words, feeling somewhat dazed. Looking at the man before her, who seemed to orchestrate the entire situation and hold the reins of power, a complex emotion welled up within her. Once, she believed she controlled the fate of both humans and spirit beasts; she thought that by steadfastly executing her plan, she could overthrow humanity's rule over Douluo Star and restore the glory of the spirit beast race during the Dragon God era.

But now she realizes that she is merely a pawn on a much larger chessboard.

How ridiculous my past actions seem now.
"how about you?"

Gu Yue tilted her head slightly, her silver hair falling over her shoulder, her gaze fixed on Chen Zhou. "Don't you ever let desire blind you? When faced with things you crave, can you remain calm and composed?"

Chen Zhou smiled, a smile carrying a profound and intriguing meaning. He walked to the window, overlooking the bustling Donghai City. This city, which had risen rapidly under the control of the Mech Beast Merchant Guild, had now become the focal point of the power struggle between the Federation and the two great empires.

At this moment, Chen Zhou carried an unusual sense of vicissitude, a temperament completely different from that of a fifteen-year-old boy.

Since the four spiritual runes of "wind, fire, earth, and water" were completed in the spiritual core, the entire spiritual world has been expanding day by day, and with the repair of the soul, the body and spirit have become one.

As the soul originating from the previous life slowly repairs itself, the fading emotions within it also gradually re-emerge.

At this moment, Chenzhou is gradually becoming a complete Chenzhou.
In the endless river of time, the gears of fate keep turning, and the scroll of history is constantly being redrawn.

Chen Zhou seemed detached from the physical world, yet he possessed an almost supernatural power that could distort the world and make the heavens and earth revolve around him. His gaze was like the deep starry sky, brimming with the wisdom and wisdom accumulated over the years. His long, jet-black hair accentuated his dark eyes, as if they held the secrets of ancient stars.

"Desire is like a spring flower, fragrant when it first blooms, but inevitably accompanied by thorns."

Chen Zhou spoke slowly, as if reciting a lost ancient poem. His voice was deep and magnetic, like a clear mountain spring, flowing quietly and cleansing the soul. "We are all chasing desires, whether it is dreams, power, or the delicate and warm interpersonal feelings. Desire is always the driving force of our lives."

Gu Yue listened quietly, her gaze seemingly holding a thousand unspoken words, as if recalling a past event. Her body, originally covered in silver-white dragon scales, had now transformed into human form, noble and elegant, with black hair like clouds and clear purple eyes, like bright stars in a dark night sky.

However, only she herself knew that behind this glamour lay a profound self-denial and reflection.

With the plan shattered and feeling lost and helpless, the Silver Dragon King, who should have shouldered the responsibility himself, entrusted it to others. The title of "Lord of Soul Beasts" and the one who inherited the wisdom of the Dragon God, now had little of its former brilliance in his eyes.

The beauty sighed softly, her eyes lowered.

Chen Zhou turned around, looked calmly at Gu Yue who was leaning back on the sofa, and suddenly smiled, "Gu Yue, have you ever thought about what the final outcome of all the manipulation and scheming is?" His voice was like a gentle stream, echoing in the office.

Gu Yue was slightly taken aback, then realized the profundity of the question. From a young age, she had been the one expected by the Dragon God, and destiny had written glory and honor upon her.

However, the deepest longing for power and control in her heart now seemed so pale and powerless. She slowly spoke: "I want soul beasts and humans to coexist in harmony, so that there will be no more tragedies in this world."

Chen Zhou stepped forward and sat down next to Gu Yue. Since he had nothing else to do, he might as well chat for a bit.

"The so-called destination can also be said to be the original intention."

"However, no matter how ideal or heartfelt the initial intention may be, it is destined to gradually become tarnished and even distorted when experiencing unpredictable hardships and the allure of material pleasures."

"But in the end, everything will return to its final destination, and what is ultimately unattainable often slips through our fingers at the very moment before the end."

"Doesn't Dai Tianling of the Star Luo Empire know that Hu Shatian is a member of my Mech Beast Merchant Guild?"

"Doesn't he realize that this great battle, and even the death of their empire's only Limit Douluo, Enci, is highly likely to be the work of Hu Shatian?"
