Give Douluo a technological shock

As Xuanzi once saw in the religious records: "Heretics are not scary, what is scary is heresy."

Because power can decide what the people see, but it cannot decide or dictate the people's aesthetic tastes.

A correct, popular, and progressive ideology is like a spark falling into an autumn wilderness; if not carefully observed, it can ignite a beautiful, crimson sunset over the dimly lit plains.

Now, Xuanzi watched as these nobles, who were still trying to maintain their bloodline rule, gathered together to discuss so-called important matters, and felt a strange sense of amusement.

Let's wait and see what the third meeting reveals.

Xuanzi sighed inwardly. Bodien Academy had basically broken free from the shackles of being a noble academy, and he really didn't want his academy to become like Shrek Academy again.

[Announcement: Countdown to the Third Douluo Conference: 648 days]

[Task Log Update - Current total number of Titled Douluo in Douluo Continent: 212]

[Mission Log Update - Dawn City - Zhenmo City, Continental-level Space Tunnel Portal Successfully Activated]

[Announcement: Countdown to the Third Douluo Conference: 606 days]

[Task Log Update - Current total number of Titled Douluo in Douluo Continent: 213]

[Mission Log Update - The Starry Sky Intelligent Beings Republic Empire is established, abbreviated as: Starry Sky Empire]

On an ordinary day, the Starry Sky Intelligent Beings Republic Empire was quietly established amidst everyone's astonished yet taken-for-granted expressions.

Based on the existing ruling structure of Xingdou, the Xingdou Empire formally established the system of consuls and parliamentary elections, with Chen Fu serving as the first supreme consul for a five-year term, renewable.

In the same year, the highest-level super-independent organization, the Sword Pavilion, was established within the Star Dou Empire. It encompassed all of Star Dou's god-level combat power, including: Electrolux, Moon, Long Xiaoyao, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Di Tian, ​​and Gu Yuena. It was responsible for leading and regulating the extraordinary individuals within the Star Dou Empire, and also possessed the power to dissolve the governors and the council. Its supreme leader was Chen Fu, known as the Sword Master, who served as the Sword Bearer for life.

The system of "Consul" and "Swordholder" is a dual-track system of governance. The latter is only responsible for dealing with problems that the empire cannot solve, or for resolving problems raised by the empire, while the former is in charge of the empire's socio-economic and technological development. This system is historically known as "Earthly Consul".

Based on the structure of the empire, Chen Fu distinguished between individual extraordinary abilities and collective technology, forming two sides of yin and yang in the development of the empire, which developed in coordination with each other and left no shortcomings.

Meanwhile, with the establishment of the Star Dou Empire, the five major empires on the Douluo Continent began a military competition with their own objectives.

Coincidentally, the conflict between the Star Dou Empire's Zhenmo City forces, located far away on the Kunlun Continent, and the Behemoth Empire to the north is also intensifying, while the Tianhu Empire to the south remains ambiguous in its attitude.

The world seems like a powder keg about to explode; just a tiny spark could trigger a massive blast!

In August of the first year of the Starry Sky Calendar, the army of the Sun and Moon Empire, which had been silent for a year, began to advance little by little towards the Mingdou Mountains!

"Finally, they can't hold it in any longer, can they?" Chen Fu, who was at the Ocean Engineering Academy in Dawn City and also the seemingly inactive Supreme Ruler of the Starry Sky Intelligent Creature Republic Empire, sat on the edge of the Ten Thousand Beasts Cliff, looking at the news that Jin Lin had brought him from behind, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Below Chen Fu, who was suspended on the edge of the cliff, lay the famous Ten Thousand Beasts Bay of Dawn City. Thousands of sea spirit beasts, at least ten thousand years old, slept in the deep sea there. It was the ocean spirit beast academy that Xingdou had been recruiting over the past few years.

"The Star Luo Empire is starting to get tense. There are reliable reports that the Star Luo Empire's army is stationed in Yuming City and Xingyue City in the Mingdou Mountains." Jin Lin sat down next to Chen Fu as if nothing had happened and then explained the follow-up.

With various countries starting to engage in clandestine maneuvers, Xingdou's days of profiting from the gullibility of its Battle Soul Device are over. It was previously mentioned that the mental power of a Title Douluo could actively block the activation of the Battle Soul Device, but now that most countries possess abundant "Douluo" resources, they often directly entrust Title Douluos as messengers for crucial intelligence.

In the past, if these empires had offered their prized Title Douluos as errand runners, they probably would have thrown a tantrum and run away long ago. But now, the number of Title Douluos is increasing at a visible rate. Apart from Super Douluos above level 95 who still have the capital to maintain their prestige, the rest of the Title Douluos have started to inexplicably stir up trouble.

If you don't deliver the letter, someone else will. If you don't run errands, someone else will.

“Star Moon City, ah. A name I miss.” Chen Fu sighed softly upon hearing Jin Lin’s explanation.

Star Moon City, a city built on a high and important location in the Mingdou Mountains, is surrounded by stars and overlooks a mountain road in the middle of the Mingdou Mountains that connects two countries. It was a road that Chen Fu and his father organized to carve out when he was a child, and it is full of memories.

"However, why did the Sun Moon Empire attack the Star Luo Empire first, instead of the militarily weaker Heavenly Soul Empire? Although the Sun Moon Empire and Heavenly Soul Empire are separated by an ocean, it's still better than crossing the Mingdou Mountains to fight the most powerful Star Luo Empire head-on, isn't it?"

Jin Lin interrupted Chen Fu's recollection and decisively raised a question that she did not understand.

"Although the Heavenly Soul Empire's navy is not very strong, the Sun Moon Empire's navy is not very strong either. Moreover, due to the popularity of seafaring in recent years, Heavenly Soul has strengthened its naval power. Therefore, the Sun Moon Empire does not need to fight Heavenly Soul to the death, because they cannot easily defeat Heavenly Soul. And if they lose too many troops to Heavenly Soul, they will be unable to stop the Star Luo army from crossing the Mingdou Mountains."

Chen Fu explained to Jin Lin that if the Sun and Moon attacked the Heavenly Soul, they would be vulnerable to being attacked by their bad neighbor to the east. Therefore, their best course of action was to fight the Douluo Three Kingdoms in one fell swoop within the Star Luo territory.

"However, I'm still very puzzled. Logically speaking, shouldn't the four kingdoms of Sun Moon, Heavenly Soul, Star Luo, and Fighting Spirit unite to attack us? Why are they fighting amongst themselves?" This is what puzzled Jin Lin. Logically speaking, the Star Dou Empire should be the biggest hypothetical enemy of these four kingdoms, but they are still fighting amongst themselves here.

"This is actually quite..."

"Huh?" Chen Fu was about to make a teasing remark when he was interrupted by Jin Lin's dangerously narrowed eyes.

"This is actually quite difficult. First, our Star Dou faction's strength is well hidden. Second, the Douluo Three Kingdoms and the Sun Moon Empire have never been on the same side, they can't possibly get along. Third, the remnants of the Holy Spirit Cult's evil soul masters were a trap I set for them a long time ago, so they won't have to wait much longer."

Chen Fu hesitated for a moment, then gave a brief explanation based on Jin Lin's words.

"The Douluo Three Kingdoms have a very deep historical foundation, so with the Pandora Core and Battle Armor, they want to buy themselves more time to quickly transform their thousands or tens of thousands of years of foundation into their current strength. So they want to wait a little longer."

"The Sun Moon Empire could have followed the pace of the Douluo Three Kingdoms in this way, attacking Star Dou together when everyone was ready, because their foundation was equally profound. However, because they almost took over the entire Holy Spirit Cult, they gained short-term benefits, but in return, they had to pay a price."

The reason I've always said that Pandora's Core is a magic box is because this soul tool will produce different effects in different hands. It can grant ordinary people new life, or it can bring them destruction.

"Never underestimate the evil in human nature, especially the truly evil members of the Holy Spirit Cult that Sun Moon has acquired. They cannot refuse a method that rapidly increases soul power without side effects. And Sun Moon doesn't have much power within itself to restrain them. So Sun Moon's demise began its countdown from the moment it took in those evil soul masters."

Chen Fu looked at the seagulls flying in the sky and said to Jin Lin in a low voice.

The calm tone with which he spoke so casually about the life and death of a nation instilled in Jin Lin a deep sense of awe.

Therefore, there is nothing in this world that one can easily gain an advantage over; every seemingly free temptation actually has a price tag.

Chen Fu summarized the behavior of the Sun Moon Empire in taking advantage of the Holy Spirit Cult's evil soul masters, which forced it to disrupt its synchronization with the Three Kingdoms and was compelled to take the initiative to start a war.

The Sun Moon Empire is the nation that cannot afford to drag things out, while the Star Dou Empire's location is also quite peculiar, as it does not share any territory with the Sun Moon Empire. Furthermore, both the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire harbor ambitions to unify the continent, which means that the Sun Moon Empire can only launch a preemptive attack on the Star Luo Empire and cannot cause trouble for the Star Dou Empire in the short term.

"Oh, I see. So, are the Sun and Moon Kingdoms and the Star Kingdom going to war?"

Jin Lin steered the conversation to the point that concerned her most.

"Moreover, Xingluo's current actions seem a bit strange."

Jin Lin was quite puzzled by Xingluo's move to mobilize troops towards the Mingdou Mountains. Logically speaking, the most dangerous hypothetical enemy for the Xingluo royal family should be the Xingdou Empire. However, judging from the news brought back by the scouts, it seemed that Xingluo was preparing to fight the Sun and Moon Empire.

"An army marches on its stomach; the sun and moon may be negotiating with the stars." Gazing at the azure sea and feeling the salty sea breeze on his cheeks, Chen Fu smiled slightly.

"If I'm not mistaken, Tang San should be behind the turmoil on the Kunlun Continent."

"It seems that Tang San's shadow is also behind the Three Kingdoms. Jin Lin, as expected, he won't be foolish enough to let us develop in peace."

Upon hearing Chen Fu's words, Jin Lin's handsome brows furrowed slightly.

Seeing that Jin Lin didn't seem to understand, Chen Fu continued to explain calmly, "From now on, Tang San is competing with me in terms of influence."

"I mentioned in advance that there would be an unprecedented Douluo Conference a year later. This is an expectation, an expectation for everyone. So, before the Douluo Conference is officially announced, everyone will subconsciously remain rational and restrained, which means that we can still develop peacefully for a certain period of time."

"As for Tang San, what he needs is for the Douluo Three Kingdoms to quickly dismantle the external defenses of the emerging Star Dou, so that Star Dou's high-level combat forces can be dispersed, creating an opportunity to divide and conquer. After all, even a God King would have a great chance of defeat if he were to descend into a world with such world restrictions in his true form."

Jin Lin then asked curiously, "But with the number of their Title Douluos, in theory we shouldn't be able to intervene if a real fight breaks out."

"Actually, that's one reason too—there are just too many Title Douluos." A blue light flashed in Chen Fu's eyes as she spoke, then she opened a video window in mid-air in front of her, explaining to Jin Lin at the same time, "Everyone guessed that the Third Douluo Conference would be about solving the problem of too many Title Douluos, and some even speculated whether the strictest regulations would be imposed on them."

"In that case, shouldn't they be objecting?"

"In fact, quite the opposite, they would praise it." Chen Fu looked at a video sent back to her from Zhenmo City on the Kunlun Continent, her voice growing softer and softer until she finally fell silent.

"Huh? How dare they?!" Jin Lin noticed Chen Fu's sudden silence, then curiously shifted his body to look at the video in front of Chen Fu, and instantly flew into a rage!

The video that enraged Jinlin so much was a memory that flickered with an unstable white light from time to time.

That was the image transmitted from the first-person perspective of the deceased by the Soul Ward while the brain was not yet completely deactivated.

The scene is accompanied by painful screams, chaotic noise, and a frenzied black crowd.

[The deceased: Tonya, a member of the fourth squad of the third geological exploration team in Zhenmo City, went missing a week ago on the outskirts of Behemo City]

At this moment, Chen Fu received another message from Zhenmo City in the Heavenly Dao Spiritual Network. This time it was not a video, but a photograph.

In the dim dawn, a human-like figure, bound hand and foot in mid-air, spreads its blood-red wings in the faint light, like a blood eagle about to take flight.

[The deceased: Harvey, a member of the fourth squad of the third geological exploration team in Zhenmo City, and Tonya's fiancé, went missing a week ago on the outskirts of Behemo City]

[Note: No mission assigned; the person was on normal leave before going missing.]

[Ning Yi's message: The Behemoth Empire has produced a Limit Douluo who is unwilling to provide assistance with any cases. This concerns diplomacy. Please give instructions, Governor.]

"Ning Yi, what kind of instructions are you giving?!" Jin Lin almost couldn't contain his anger when he saw Ning Yi's message!

A Star Martial Artist was brutally murdered while on vacation! What kind of instructions are these?!

Those weren't ordinary people; they were government officials who had been selected through multiple rounds of screening and were highly loyal to the Starry Sky!

Chen Fu gently patted Jin Lin's back, signaling her to calm down, then closed the virtual interface in front of her and calmly asked a question: "Are we treating them badly?"

"They should be slaves!" Jin Lin said angrily.

"Alright, go to Kunlun and tell Ning Yi how to conduct diplomacy." Chen Fu pulled out a small, seemingly golden spear from her storage space and tossed it to Jin Lin.

"They're just Limit Douluo. If they dare to show up, they'll surely die in their main city."

The seemingly unrelated Limit Douluo was thus stripped of his right to live by Chen Fu.

"Alright!" Jin Lin took the small spear Chen Fu gave her, and without looking back, she took off and flew quickly towards a place with a huge metal gate-shaped building on the outskirts of Dawn City.

After Jin Lin left, Chen Fu quietly looked at the azure sea in front of him. To be honest, he was disgusted by Tang San's actions.

Without a doubt, the sudden appearance of the Limit Douluo was Tang San's doing. After all, Electrolux had investigated how many Title Douluos there were in Kunlun.

Since the Behemoth Empire is so willing to act as Tang San's pawn, then let's grant their wish.

Of course, Chen Fu understood Tang San's true purpose: to prompt Star Luo to form an alliance with Sun Moon.

Tang San couldn't possibly tell these mortals about the existence of Elex, Moon, and Gu Yuena in Xingdou. He needed these people to physically destroy the signal towers of Xingdou's Heavenly Dao Veil, or even force Xingdou's god-level combat power to separate.

After all, in Tang San's ancient memories, even a level 100 god could be defeated by an army of 100,000. So as long as those mortals could find out Chen Fu's location for him, that would be the time for him to make his move.

Wait for Chen Fu to develop properly? Are you kidding me? Would a Tang Sect disciple let their enemies have it easy?
