Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 432 Prepare in advance
"How are the preparations for the coronation going?"

Ju Zi was sitting behind her desk, looking down at the memorial in her hands. The gray candlelight beside her flickered slightly. The next moment, a voice rang out in the room.

"Why are you even more eager than me?" Orange wasn't surprised by the voice. Instead, she chuckled softly, then put down what she was holding and looked up.

Sure enough, Lin Xiao was already sitting to the side.

"I need your help with something," Lin Xiao said softly, narrowing her eyes.

"Okay." Orange agreed quite readily, and even felt much more at ease after hearing that Lin Xiao had other requests.

Do you remember what I took with me?

"I remember." Orange's expression turned serious when Lin Xiao brought it up. "Is there anything wrong with that thing?"

“That’s right.” Lin Xiao nodded, then paused slightly. “That thing is not a product of our world; it exudes a desire to devour everything.”

"Like an abyss that can never be filled, I named it the Abyss Monster."

“Abyss… demons…” Orange spoke softly, repeating Lin Xiao’s words.

"Exactly. Those monsters are merely spies sent by another world. I'm afraid that soon we will have to face even more monsters from that world coming to us."

Even with Ju Zi's experience, she couldn't quite keep up with what Lin Xiao was saying for a moment.

How could something as seemingly insignificant as a strangely shaped soul beast suddenly become entangled in another world, the abyss... and demons...?

Is the other world that Lin Xiao talks about really the kind of world she understands?

As she carefully observed Lin Xiao's expression, Ju Zi's face grew increasingly serious.

She understood that Lin Xiao was absolutely not joking. She trusted Lin Xiao's judgment and quickly realized that something unprecedented was probably happening in the world she lived in.

Just as Ju Zi was pondering, Lin Xiao suddenly turned to look at her. "So I want to help you complete your ascension to the throne as soon as possible. Once you become emperor, some things can be prepared earlier."

“Okay.” Orange nodded quite solemnly. “Wouldn’t it be better to keep this a secret for now? After all, if things from another world are spread, it will only cause panic among the people. It would be better if we made preparations first.”

It has to be said that having been in a superior position for so long, once Orange accepted the idea of ​​"another world," she quickly developed a lot of thoughts.

Lin Xiao did not refuse, since he could not determine the exact time when the Abyss Plane would arrive.

If the information is disseminated too early, it will not only cause public panic, but if the abyss is delayed, many people may also lower their guard, which would defeat the purpose of making advance preparations.

"That's exactly what I was thinking. Also, I wanted to inform the Red Dust Hall Master so that he could also come and see the Abyss Demons, so that the Mingde Hall could prepare soul-guided devices to deal with them as soon as possible."

"Besides, dealing with abyssal demons requires the power of Soul Masters and Soul Masters, so we can take advantage of your ascension to the throne to invite all sects on the continent to come and witness the ceremony."

"At that time, we can also take this opportunity to consolidate the power of those sects."

"To unite the sects..." Ju Zi had actually had this idea as well.

Sects and academies are different. Most academies are affiliated with various empires. After the Sun Moon Empire unified the continent, all academies, large and small, belonged to the Sun Moon Empire.

Sects are different. Although they are also located within the territories of various empires, apart from sects that cooperate with empires, others never consider them to be the property of any particular empire.

During the continental war, many sects kept their gates closed and not a single person went to fight. Even after Ju Zi released the disciples who had been imprisoned during the elite competition, some sects even voiced their desire for the Sun Moon Empire to unify the continent.

Of course, these sects no longer consider themselves part of the Sun Moon Empire. Shrek Academy, once the continent's premier Soul Master Academy, was more like an uncontrolled sect than an academy. These Soul Master powers didn't belong to the Sun Moon Empire, and Ju Zi naturally considered bringing them under its control, but the post-war reconstruction efforts in various regions had delayed the process.

Now that Lin Xiao has taken the initiative to offer this, it seems he wants to help her consolidate the power of these sects.

Indeed, with Lin Xiao's intervention, the voices of resistance from these sects will likely be much quieter.

Lin Xiao sat to the side, his mind also on the affairs of the major and minor sects.

In the years since the unification of Douluo Continent, he has been observing the changes on the continent.

He also acknowledged that the war had caused considerable harm to many people, but for the entire Douluo Continent, it was indeed a good thing.

With the ability to utilize the resources of the entire continent, Mingde Hall further advanced its Soul Guidance Technology. By promoting these technologies to the entire continent, Douluo Continent changed almost daily.

Similarly, integrating the power of these sects is not a good thing for the individual sects, but once all the sects are united, dealing with the upcoming Abyss Plane will definitely be much easier.

Lin Xiao sighed softly.

Although he was somewhat powerless to resist, he was ultimately the one who attracted the Abyss Plane. Hopefully, in the future disaster, there will be as few casualties as possible in Douluo Continent.

This can be considered... a testament to his perseverance in remaining steadfast within the Holy Spirit Cult for so many years.

"There are still some final matters to attend to in the court. Once everything is ready, I will send invitations to all the sects."

"Yes, as soon as possible."

"Are you... in a hurry?" Since Lin Xiao appeared this time, Ju Zi had heard the word "hurry" from him more than once. After hesitating for a moment, she asked tentatively.

"After things are settled here, I need to go to other places."

As Lin Xiao spoke, he thought of Liya, who had already returned to the Tongming Sect.

He wasn't in a big hurry to find the fragments of Electrolux's consciousness, after all, as the saying goes, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, and finding something in the vast ocean is no easy task.

However, the appearance of these abyssal monsters gave him a sense of urgency.

He couldn't accurately assess the strength of the Abyss Plane, so he could only try his best to improve his cultivation.

Electrolux's third fragment of divine consciousness will definitely be of great help to him.

Therefore, in order to find the fragments of divine consciousness, he would need to rely on a lot of external forces in addition to himself.

He only hoped that the soul beast that attacked the mermaid clan wasn't too powerful, otherwise, the idea of ​​using this incident to get the mermaid clan to help him find the fragments of divine consciousness would be out of the question.

Seeing Lin Xiao deep in thought, Ju Zi didn't disturb him any longer. She got up and walked out of the study, lowering her voice slightly.

"Someone, go and invite the Master of Mingde Hall to the palace. Tell him that the Imperial Preceptor is also in the palace and has important matters to discuss."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ju Zi glanced at Lin Xiao again, then quietly sat down at her desk.
