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

Chapter 435 Minghui
Time passed second by second. Although the sun was not yet visible in the east, its rays were already slanting into the city.

People from hundreds of sects, large and small, sat on both sides of the city square under the guidance of personnel arranged in advance by the Sun Moon Empire.

Here, a group of court officials, dressed in their court robes, were already waiting, while on the outer perimeter, countless people had surrounded the area, making it impossible to move.

"Senior Tianlong has also arrived."

Upon hearing this, Tianlong Douluo looked towards the distance and exclaimed, "So it's the Southern Gate Master of the Earth Dragon Sect."

Tianlong Douluo paused slightly as he spoke, "Although our two sects have been arguing endlessly in Dragon City, we are ultimately of the same lineage. If anything happens later, we can help each other out."

Nan Shuishui nodded in agreement. She understood that as a Soul Douluo, there was no way she could help the other party. It was only because the Heavenly Dragon Gate and the Earthly Dragon Gate both originated from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect ten thousand years ago that the other party was taking care of her a little.

Xu Sanshi, who had been sitting there early, kept looking around at the people around him. Occasionally, when he saw a pretty girl, his gaze would linger a little longer.

Suddenly, he saw several classmates from Shrek Academy, but they were also there in the name of their respective sects.

Noisy sounds came from all directions. Although the people who spoke were trying their best to keep their voices down, it was still quite noisy with so many people here.

Many members of various sects, having nothing better to do, lingered over the several stone tablets beside the plaza, engrossed in reading the inscriptions on them.

Just then, the square fell silent for a moment. Many people subconsciously looked outside the square and saw three or five figures walking towards the square under the guidance of soldiers.

"Shrek Academy?"

A low murmur of discussion drifted from somewhere, and soon, many people wore expressions of confusion.

Shrek Academy used to belong to none of the three great empires, but now that their people are here, doesn't that mean...?

Just as everyone was still trying to sort out their doubts, a tremendous pressure descended from the sky.

The moment that person appeared, the crescent moon that had not yet set seemed to brighten a bit, and the entire city of Mingdu fell silent for a moment.

The eyes of Xuanzi from Shrek Academy, Du Busi from the Body Sect, and many other Soul Masters were all focused on the person in the air at that moment. After seeing the person's appearance, everyone's expressions changed in different ways.

That person was not the Calamity Douluo known to everyone on the continent.

But it was precisely because of this that everyone's expression changed.

The aura emanating from that person was clearly something only a Super Douluo could exude. Although some members of the various sects did not advocate for soul tools, they were not entirely ignorant about soul tools and soul masters after the continental war.

A Soul Master with the cultivation level of a Super Douluo is considered to have reached the level of a Level 10 Soul Master in the evaluation of Soul Masters.

At first, everyone thought that the Sun Moon Empire's current scale was solely due to the outstanding strength of the Calamity Douluo. However, the Sun Moon Empire now tells the entire Douluo Continent that in addition to the Calamity Douluo, they also have a level 10 Soul Master who has never made a move before.

Kong Deming's expression was somewhat unfriendly. He glanced around, not knowing what the people looking at him were thinking. He simply roused his soul power, and his deep voice spread throughout the entire Mingdu.

"The auspicious time has come——"

"boom--"

"boom--"

"Boom boom——"

As Kong Deming's voice rang out, a series of booming sounds erupted from within Mingdu, resounding throughout the entire sky.

The palace guards were already in position, holding various ceremonial objects and arranged in two rows, naturally creating a path in front of the square. At the end of the path, Ju Zi, dressed in imperial robes, was slowly walking forward, accompanied by Lin Xiao and Jing Hongchen.

Two teams of guards followed closely behind. The two at the front wore humanoid soul guides and held two large flags tightly in their hands. The flags were woven with gold and silver threads to depict the sun and moon, and they fluttered in the wind as if the real sun and moon were rising into the sky.

As Ju Zi looked at the crowd on both sides, she walked at a leisurely pace. Just as she stopped in the square and turned to face the people of Mingdu, the sun in the east rose completely from below the horizon.

In the west, the crescent moon had not yet set, and for a moment, the sky was filled with the wondrous sight of the sun and moon appearing simultaneously.

Soldiers on both sides waved their banners, and golden and silvery light rose up, their aura faintly resonating with the real sun and moon in the sky.

Only now did the surrounding crowd realize that the two large banners were actually two high-grade soul tools, with the power of the sun and moon surging within them, as if they could cover the entire Ming capital.

Although no one knew the exact function of the two soul tools, just looking at the flags fluttering in the wind, everyone's hearts were unconsciously drawn to them.

The Sun and Moon Empire's choice of the ceremony's time was certainly not arbitrary. Orange had long been aware of this extraordinary scene, and upon seeing it, she took a small step forward.

"Four thousand years ago, the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent collided, causing rifts among the continent's inhabitants and endless wars."

"I was born into poverty and did not want to see the people suffer from the ravages of war. I assisted a wise ruler and intended to unify the continent."

"However, the late emperor devoted himself to the country and swept away evil to bring peace to the empire, but he also died young because of this."

"The Crown Prince is too young to handle state affairs, so I have no choice but to exercise imperial power on his behalf."

"Three years ago, I finally lived up to the trust placed in me by the previous emperors and unified the Douluo Continent."

"Over the past three years, I have worked diligently and without the slightest slackening, and now the empire is in its current state of prosperity."

"The ministers also submitted their petitions on this matter. I have repeatedly declined, but I cannot refuse. Considering that the prince is still young, I will grant the wishes of the ministers today and ascend the throne as emperor."

"From this day forward, the reign title shall be changed to Minghui, meaning that all that is illuminated by the light of the sun and moon shall be the territory of the empire."

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

The court officials were prepared, and as soon as the emperor finished speaking, they all knelt down and shouted "Long live the emperor!"

Around the square, a dense crowd of people bent down.

Beside Ju Zi, Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Ju Zi, who was so close to him.

At this moment, the person in front of him was no longer the little girl who had been unable to sleep that night because of her own experience.

It was no longer the northern border of the empire. He was supposed to work for Xu Tianran, but he was also somewhat lost, along with the little girl who had stayed overnight at the fisherman's house.

From this day forward, from this very moment, the woman named Orange will be gone from this continent, replaced only by the Radiant Emperor who rules this vast Sun and Moon Empire.

"Everyone is safe."

Emperor Minghui raised his hands slightly. "Today, I have not chosen the palace as the venue for the grand ceremony, but rather this place. I intend to take this opportunity to announce another important matter."

As she spoke, she slowly turned around and looked at the several stone tablets behind her.
