Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Lu Jun leaned down slightly, his gaze like a scalpel, dissecting her pride built on her bloodline:

"Now, let's imagine for a moment what if you weren't the daughter of the God-King and didn't have this inherited divine power."

"You were just born in a remote village in the Douluo Continent, born without soul power, just an ordinary commoner girl struggling to survive and have enough to eat every day..."

"When you face the threat of natural disasters, the oppression of nobles, the torment of disease, and live a precarious and desperate life..."

"Do you still have the audacity to say that you are qualified to be called a human being?"

"Do you still dare to so contemptuously call those who are also struggling to survive ants?"

His voice was not loud, but it was like a final judgment:

"Your so-called nobility was never earned by yourself; it was merely thanks to your father, Tang San."

"Strip away the gorgeous cloak of being the daughter of a god-king, you are not even as good as those ants who struggle to survive and live on their own two hands."

"At least, they possess something you have never had and will never understand: the indomitable backbone and dignity that belong to ordinary people."

Lu Jun's words not only pierced through all of Tang Wutong's pride and pretense, but also deeply shocked everyone present.

Tang Wulin was trembling violently, his face showing a complex expression of pain and realization.

Tang Wutong lay on the ground, her whole body trembling violently. It was unclear whether it was from the excruciating pain in her cheek, from extreme anger, or from the fact that some truths deep within her heart, which she had forcibly concealed and refused to acknowledge, had been ruthlessly exposed by Lu Jun.

She opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't even utter a word of rebuttal; all that remained was heavy, disordered breathing.

"okay."

Lu Jun straightened up, no longer looking at Tang Wutong who was lying on the ground like a rag doll, and his voice regained its calmness.

"This attempt to persuade them to surrender ends here. We've wasted enough time."

He surveyed the crowd with a sharp gaze:

"Now, we need to return to Sun and Moon City immediately to grasp the situation within the Federation and assess the impact of this battle."

"Then... kill her?"

Le Zhengyu stepped forward, raising the sacred sword in his hand once more, its blade pointing directly at Tang Wutong, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Tang Wutong's remarks just now have completely crossed his bottom line as the inheritor of the Angel Family.

"Do not."

Lu Jun shook his head, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Her life is more valuable than her death."

His gaze seemed to pierce through space, landing on that disheveled figure in the realm of gods:
"If Tang San really cares about his daughter... then she will be an important bargaining chip for us when we deal with Tang San in the future."

"With her by his side, Tang San is hesitant to act rashly and dares not use many of his methods easily."

"I understand, good idea."

Le Zhengyu paused for a moment, then let out a cold laugh filled with satisfaction.

Xie Xie, Yuan Enhui, and the others nodded in agreement, believing it to be the most rational approach at present.

"Nana."

Lu Jun looked at Gu Yuena beside him.

"She's in your care now."

He gave detailed instructions:

"I need you to take her immediately and secretly return to our base in Douluo Continent, imprisoning her in the underground chamber. With your current strength, guarding a first-level god whose divine power is mostly depleted and whose divine soul is damaged shouldn't be a problem." "Leave this to me." Gu Yuena nodded solemnly, a cold glint flashing in her beautiful eyes, ensuring everything went smoothly.

"Hmm." Lu Jun nodded, then ordered the group, "Let's go, set off immediately to return to Sun and Moon City."

With his back to Gu Yuena, he added one last sentence:
"Nana, find a safe way back on your own. Don't come with us."

"If the Federation's informants discover that the Green Skull Organization's goddess is with us, it will cause unnecessary trouble."

Gu Yuena was about to nod when Lu Jun abruptly changed the subject, his eyes suddenly flashing with an unprecedented sharpness, like a peerless divine weapon unsheathed, exuding an aura of dominance over the world:

"No, perhaps it's no longer necessary."

His voice carried a calm understanding of the situation and a powerful confidence:
"Our battle with Tang San was so massive that the energy fluctuations have probably already spread throughout the entire continent."

“The federal high command, especially Speaker Xu Tiandi, unless they are blind or deaf, must have already noticed my presence and the power I displayed that far exceeds their understanding.”

"At this point, continuing to hide our identities is pointless and would only make us appear cowardly."

Lu Jun straightened his back, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of void to see the power center of the Federation. His tone was resolute, carrying an unquestionable domineering air:
"In the Douluo Continent today, apart from Huo Yuhao, who is hiding in the shadows and whose attitude is unclear, there is no one who can threaten me."

"If Speaker Xu Tiandi is pragmatic and willing to cooperate to deal with the Crimson Domain, that would be the best outcome."

His gaze suddenly turned cold, and a chilling killing intent spread out:
"If he remains obstinate and attempts to use the power of the Federation to oppose me, trying to control or eliminate me as a destabilizing factor..."

“Then I will kill him without hesitation.”

"Then, take his place and personally assume the highest authority of the Sun and Moon Federation."

Lu Jun's voice, like a vow, resounded through the shattered valley, carrying a pioneering madness and audacity:
"Then, I will lead the entire Federation, uniting all forces, to attack the Crimson Domain that covets Douluo Star..."

"All-out war!"

These words caused a dramatic shift in the political landscape!
An aura of dominance sweeping across the world surged from Lu Jun's body.

The road ahead has already been laid out beneath his feet, filled with iron and blood, conquest and endless possibilities.

Lu Jun's undisguised and iron-blooded declaration of war was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a storm in everyone's hearts.

"We...we're going to war with the Federation?!"

Xie Xie's eyes widened, his voice trembled, and his face was filled with disbelief.

Le Zhengyu, Long Chen, Tang Wulin and the others were also stunned for a moment, their brains seemingly stopping.

Although they followed Lu Jun through the battle against the God King, subconsciously, the Federation was still that huge, orderly behemoth representing the highest achievement of human civilization on the Douluo Continent.

It is the foundation upon which they are connected by blood.

To be an enemy of the Federation... that idea is too terrifying.

"It is not about making an enemy of the entire Federation."

Lu Jun's voice remained cold, but he offered an explanation and precisely locked onto the target's location.

"I will not harm any innocent people, nor will I do anything that would harm the overall combat strength of the Federation."

"But if Emperor Xu remains ambitious, placing his personal lust for power above the survival of the plane, and harbors treacherous intentions towards me and the path we pursue, attempting to control or eliminate me..."

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, his killing intent palpable:
"So, rather than keeping him around like a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment, it's better to eliminate him as soon as possible. For the sake of the greater good, personal sacrifice is inevitable."

Lu Jun surveyed the crowd, his tone carrying a detached composure and absolute confidence born of worldly wisdom:

"In fact, from the moment I broke through to the Soul Saint realm and began to control part of the power of the Ice Abyss Sword, there was no need to deliberately hide it anymore."

"To be honest, at that time, there were very few things on this planet that could truly threaten my life." (End of Chapter)
