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

The clerk immediately bowed and took notes, his fingers flying across the soul guide screen.

As the crowd below watched this scene, their last remaining doubts vanished.

They finally understood that Lu Junqi's very existence had transcended the traditional power structure of the Federation.

He doesn't care about positions because the power and influence he possesses no longer need any position to prove or bestow them.

Lu Jun... is really different now.

Although many people had already vaguely guessed his possible true identity, since the Speaker made the choice on behalf of the Federation and formed an alliance, everything was settled.

Following the strong and facing the abyss is the only way to survive.

"Alright, we have a plan for the cleanup operation, but the matter is not over yet."

Lu Jun's voice once again pulled everyone's thoughts back.

He looked at Di Yue.

"Our new ruler of this plane is still getting to know his own powers."

"This exploration may still uncover a very small number of individuals who are adept at concealment or who use special environments to shield themselves from detection."

Upon hearing this, Di Yue nodded seriously, a glint of light flashing in her crimson eyes.

“Indeed,” she said. “Some places feel very blurry, like they’re seen through a veil.”

"Moreover, the dimensional sensing is continuous, so it cannot be ruled out that new foreign objects are trying to infiltrate."

Lu Jun took over the conversation, his gaze sweeping across the entire room, his eyes flashing with a more grand and almost commanding confidence, as if he were surveying the entire battlefield.

"Therefore, eradication is a temporary solution, while strengthening ourselves is the fundamental solution."

He paused, then said, word by word:

"From now on, my main focus will not be on specific clearing operations. I have something more important to do—"

His voice was clear and powerful, echoing throughout the silent council chamber:

"I want to try to raise the average level of all combat power across the entire Douluo Continent as much as possible before the Abyss launches a full-scale interdimensional war."

"Enhance the combat power of the entire continent?!"

"How...how can this be done?"

"Average level? Does that refer to Soul Masters? Or does it include the military?"

Xu Tiandi's pupils contracted slightly, and his body leaned forward slightly.

The councilors and generals below also showed expressions of surprise and urgency.

There may be ways to improve individual combat capabilities, but how about raising the average level of the entire continent?

This sounds like something out of a fantasy!

"Mr. Lu, what do you mean by that? What are your plans?"

Emperor Xu asked in a deep voice, knowing that Lu Jun would not speak without reason.

Lu Jun did not answer directly, but instead turned his gaze to Di Yue beside him.

Di Yue's eyes met his, and a hint of understanding flashed in her crimson eyes. Then, a more profound and expansive aura, completely different from the majesty she had just displayed, began to slowly emanate from her petite body.

She stepped forward, facing the Federation's high-ranking officials below who were holding their breath and waiting for an answer. Her beautiful face displayed the solemnity and dignity befitting a ruler of a plane.

She spoke slowly, her voice no longer crisp and lively, but clearly imprinted deep in everyone's soul:

"I inform you all in the name of the Lord of this plane..."

The golden light in her crimson eyes surged like the tide, illuminating the breathless faces below.

"The evolution of the Douluo Star plane has recently... reached a new stage." She paused, making sure each word was clearly imprinted in everyone's minds.

"Speaker Xu's ability to overcome the insurmountable barrier and reach the level of a hundred-level god is not an isolated case, nor is it the end. This is just a signal of the beginning."

She surveyed the entire room, her voice clear and assertive.

"In the coming era, the rules of the planes will become more tolerant, and the level and activity of the energy of heaven and earth will continue to improve."

"This means that the chances of those exceptionally talented and profoundly skilled individuals on the continent, whether human or soul beast, breaking through the level 100 bottleneck, igniting the divine fire, and condensing a divine spark will be far greater than before."

A low gasp filled the council chamber.

Is there a possibility of more god-level powerhouses being born?

This is undoubtedly a shot in the arm!

With the invasion of the Abyss imminent, every additional deity on our side increases our chances of victory!
However, Di Yue's next words truly stirred up a storm.

"Of course, this is only one of the effects of evolution."

She slightly raised her face, her pink lips parted, and the words that came out were as heavy as a thousand pounds:

"From this moment on, all new humans on the Douluo Continent, upon awakening their Martial Soul, regardless of its quality—whether it is offensive, controlling, supportive, or even a Martial Soul once considered useless—will possess at least one level of Innate Soul Power."

"boom--"

It was as if an invisible mental bomb had exploded in everyone's mind.

"Everyone...has innate soul power?"

"Level one? At least level one?!"

"How is this possible?"

The brief silence was shattered, replaced by a near-out-of-control cacophony and shock.

Several corps commanders could no longer remain seated and sprang up from their chairs, their heavy military boots scraping against the smooth ground with a piercing screeching sound.

The elderly councilors trembled violently, the tea they held to calm themselves shook wildly, and they didn't even notice the scalding tea splashing onto their hands and clothes. They just stared wide-eyed at the blonde, red-eyed girl on the stage, as if trying to confirm from her face that this was not an absurd dream.

"Are all people born at level one?"

An elderly legislator, his hair almost entirely white and his face etched with the lines of time, repeated these words with trembling lips.

He had lived for nearly a hundred years and had seen countless children with mediocre talent rejected from the path of Soul Masters due to insufficient innate Soul Power, unable to even touch the most basic threshold of becoming a Soul Master.

This is a regret and hidden pain that will forever remain in his heart.

Now, Di Yue's casual remark is about to completely rewrite this cruel rule that has been passed down for countless generations and is considered an insurmountable barrier.

Xu Tiandi's breathing noticeably froze at that moment.

His right hand, which was resting on the alloy tabletop, suddenly tightened, his knuckles turning pale from the excessive force, and the veins on the back of his hand bulging slightly.

As the supreme ruler of the Federation, he almost instantly grasped the terrifying energy behind this rule change—energy powerful enough to overturn the entire continent's civilization.

Innate soul power is the most basic, yet also the most ruthless, threshold for embarking on the path of a soul master.

Level zero and level one are worlds apart, the dividing line between mortals and potential soul masters.

Even the lowest level of soul power means having the qualification to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, cultivate soul power, and possess the key to open that mysterious door.

Under the rule of the Sun and Moon Federation, the proportion of people with soul power and ordinary people without soul power may not be low, but the absolute number is still vastly different.

Billions of soulless individuals form the largest foundation of society, yet they are almost entirely excluded from the core combat force system against the Abyss.

And now... these billions of people have all become potential reserves of combat power overnight.

The war potential, social structure, and even the trajectory of civilization development of the Douluo Continent will undergo earth-shattering and irreversible changes as a result. (End of Chapter)
