Reincarnated Rock Prince, you're saying this is Douluo Continent?

Chapter 92: They're already divided, and you still want to unite?

The Rock God, the God of War, brought "contracts" and is also known as the God of Contracts.

The being enshrined at the center of the Temple of Contracts is none other than this God of Contracts!

At this moment, the God of Contracts was sitting in the main hall of Zhongli Mansion, fiddling with the tea set.

In a short while, three groups of people arrived at the gate of Zhongli Mansion at the same time. They looked at each other again, their eyes flashing with a sharp light.

It seems everyone here is intelligent; there are no fools among them. When the time was right, they all came.

"When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits."

"We should temporarily put aside our inappropriate thoughts."

"good!"

The three representatives spoke in a somewhat ambiguous way, but they understood what the other two were saying.

These three are the princesses of the Heavenly Soul Empire, the Douling Empire, and the Star Luo Empire!
The fisherman was not referring to one of the families, but rather to an entity outside the original Douluo Continent: the Sun Moon Empire!
The Sun Moon Empire has secretly reached some close agreements with Liyue, especially regarding soul tools, which has made the original Douluo Three Kingdoms see a crisis.

But they all understood one thing: with the God of War's strength, if the God of War wanted to, he could sweep across the Douluo Three Kingdoms and even the Sun Moon Empire.

Therefore, the three empires did not act rashly, nor did they make any unwise moves.

As long as Liyue doesn't use force against them, there's still a chance for things to change.

The God of War, Zhongli, is not a bloodthirsty, mad god, nor a powerful figure who stands on the side of the Sun and Moon. Otherwise, he would not have come to the East Sea coast to establish Liyue, but should have gone to the Sun and Moon Empire.

Just then, the gates of Zhongli Manor opened automatically without any wind.

Upon seeing this, a hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the three princesses.

She tidied her appearance slightly, even though she had done so many times before, before taking light steps and walking towards the gate.

The three walked side by side, neither yielding to the other, yet neither vying for nor competing with each other, as if everything was perfectly natural.

As princesses of a nation, their appearance may not be the most outstanding in the world, but in terms of etiquette, they have achieved the ultimate.

The three of them were quite familiar with Zhongli Manor, as this wasn't their first visit.

In less than a minute, the three of them arrived at the hall. Just as they had imagined, the God of War Zhong Li was sitting at the head of the table, brewing tea.

Just like when they came before, exactly the same.

"I have long since met the Martial God!"

"Xueying greets the Martial God!"

"Vina greets the God of War!"

The three of them bowed to Zhongli almost simultaneously.

Upon hearing this, Zhongli waved for the three to sit down before saying, "Princess, there's no need for such formalities."

Although Zhongli seems a bit old-fashioned and has some difficulty dealing with Hu Tao's lively personality, normal communication is possible.

Princess Jiu Jiu spoke first: "Thank you, Lord Martial God!"

Although Zhongli said there was no need for excessive formalities, how could they dare to be impolite?

As the saying goes, it's never wrong to be overly polite.

This "li" (礼) includes not only gifts, but also manners and etiquette.

When they are out in the world, they represent not only themselves, but also their respective empires, so they cannot act recklessly.

As for that saying: "Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre..."

The last one to say that has already become ruins.

They didn't want to follow in their footsteps, nor did the empire behind them. Vina and Xueying exchanged a glance, then looked at Xu Jiujiu with some dissatisfaction.

In the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, Tianhun and Douling were originally one family. Even though they are now "split" and their biggest enemy has changed from the Star Luo Empire to the Sun Moon Empire, the original Douluo Three Kingdoms are still in a competitive relationship!

After the three of them sat down, Zhongli casually waved his hand, and a teacup containing eight-tenths of a cup of tea flew toward the table beside him.

Xu Jiujiu, Vina, and Xueying were not surprised by this move.

They've seen even more amazing things than this before.

"May I ask what brings the three princesses here today?"

Zhongli remained expressionless, took a sip of tea, and then spoke.

His tea drinking wasn't for the so-called "refreshing" effect, as ordinary teas can't achieve that; rather, it was a long-standing habit.

Upon hearing this, Vina stood up first, bowed slightly to Zhongli, and said, "Martial God, there is a tradition on Douluo Continent that has been passed down for ten thousand years."

"Known as the Continental Elite High-Level Soul Master Tournament, this competition is held once every five years and is considered a rare grand event on the Douluo Continent."

"Since the collision and fusion of the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent four thousand years ago, the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament has evolved into a stage for various countries to showcase their younger generation and intimidate other nations..."

Vina's words were very clear, even too clear.

This is something that all countries are well aware of, but they won't bring it up openly.

After all, it's best for everyone to keep such things to themselves; bringing them out into the open is detrimental to "unity."

They're already divided, and you still want to unite?
In particular, neither the Heavenly Soul Empire nor the Douling Empire would submit to the other, each believing themselves to be the legitimate successor of the Heavenly Douling Empire.

However, despite the presence of an external enemy, the Sun Moon Empire, the relationship between the three kingdoms of Douluo has managed to maintain a rare balance.

After a long while, Xu Jiujiu and Xueying exchanged a glance, and their gazes toward Vina changed.

It's true what they say, three women make a drama. Three princesses, and princesses from three different empires at that, getting together is never a good thing.

Whenever one of the princesses performs even slightly well, the other two always roll their eyes.

That was clearly her line!
Hearing this, Zhongli seemed to be deep in thought.

In his eyes, this continent-wide advanced soul master elite competition was no different from children playing house.

But this is the Douluo Continent, where nothing can be described by common sense.

Exposing their own genius?
Showcasing their own genius?
Haha~

Those who haven't grown into strong individuals are called geniuses; they need protection, not to stand out.

Of course, if you have absolute power, you can certainly do that.

Given the current situation in Douluo Continent, they actually dared to expose their own genius. I have to say... they're really bold!
In any more normal world, these geniuses would be relentlessly hunted down by enemy nations!

Only those who grow strong become truly strong and possess a deterrent effect!

"Oh~"

Zhongli pondered for a moment and said, "Liyue has no academy. Learning about Soul Masters is merely a hobby for the residents."

"Liyue may not be able to participate in this grand event."

Yes, Liyue does not have an academy in the traditional sense; it only has a study where people can come and go as they please.

This alone disqualifies one from participating.

Zhongli is a law-abiding person, at least when things are in order.

If order is disrupted, he doesn't mind restoring it to normal.
