Give Douluo a technological shock

So, brother, is it true that I can't change my fate after all?

Or is this the fate I cannot change, being a princess of Xingluo?

Xu Jiujiu felt a pang of sorrow, but if a political marriage could save Xingluo from its desperate situation, she would have no complaints.

"An unfamiliar acquaintance."

Emperor Xingluo did not notice the strange look in Xu Jiujiu's eyes as he approached him. His voice carried a hint of reminiscence, as if he were recalling something.

So, is it Heavenly Soul? Or the Prince of Fighting Spirits?

After a long while, she forced a smile and said, "I haven't been in contact with them for quite some time."

"Them?" Emperor Xingluo was taken aback, looking at Xu Jiujiu with some surprise, and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Just as he was about to say something, a guard's shout came from outside the palace:

"Xu Mu, the Star Envoy, has come to pay his respects!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, while everyone was still in a daze, a young man wearing a silver-gray full-coverage soul tool armor, with an ordinary yet resolute face, quietly walked in step by step from outside the palace.

Having shaved his stubble, trimmed his unruly hair, and regained the appearance of a young man, Xu Mu, while Princess Xingluo remained stunned for a long time, had already walked to the front of the Xingluo Emperor amidst the clatter of his iron boots on the ground. With a snap, he pounded his chest with his right fist, and with a metallic clang, Xu Mu bowed his head and said in a deep voice to the Xingluo Emperor above the steps:

"Xu Mu, Commander of the Fourth Soul Guidance Weapon Army of the Star Dou Dynasty, of the Blue Emperor Xu Clan, pays respects to His Majesty the Star Luo Emperor!"

The Blue Emperor Xu Clan is different from the Star Crown Xu Clan of Xu Jiujiu. Amu, also known as Xu Mu, silently declared to the Star Luo Emperor and Xu Jiujiu that Xu Mu is now capable of re-differentiating a branch of the Xu Clan bloodline.

The Star Luo Emperor stared silently at the spirited yet composed and experienced young man below the steps, remaining silent for a long time.

From this moment on, the young man before him was no longer his servant, but a clan chief of equal status.

Princess Xingluo, who had been in a daze since Xu Mu appeared, finally came to her senses after a long while. Somewhat hesitantly and uncertainly, she asked, "You...you are Amu?"

She herself didn't realize that even though she was a seasoned socialite, her voice was trembling slightly. Amu, a name that only existed in her childhood, died at the age of six when her martial soul awakened, and completely disappeared from her life.

Xu Mu, with a somewhat complicated expression, turned around and bowed his head to Princess Xingluo for a long time, saying, "Xu Mu of the Blue Emperor Xu Clan greets Princess Xingluo."

As a member of the same clan as Xu Jiujiu, Xu Mu grew up with her from childhood until the year he awakened his martial soul at the age of six. At that time, Xu Jiujiu was designated as a princess, while Xu Mu became a servant.

Xu Mu was very intelligent from a young age, and the Xingguan Xu Clan had high hopes for him. However, after his martial soul awakened, he only had innate zero-level soul power and the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, and from then on, he became unusually silent.

Later, he went to local areas to study, and he was able to do very well in agronomy, management, communication, and so on. However, he still could not change his innate defect of not being able to cultivate.

He once thought he might grow old and die in his family's fields, but the appearance of Xingdou completely changed his fate, giving him the opportunity and power to change it.

"It's been a long time, Princess."

In the end, Xu Mu silently responded to the long-awaited expectation.

Xu Mu watched as the figure of his childhood playmate gradually overlapped with his own. He opened his mouth for a long time, but in the end, he didn't say anything and remained silent.

The Star Luo Emperor, however, asked with a complex expression, "The Blue Emperor Xu Clan... is it the Blue Emperor...?"

There is a true rumor in Douluo Continent: the Star Dou Empire has mastered the technology of Martial Soul evolution.

Why is it true? Because Tang Ya, the current head of the Tang Sect, has evolved her martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, into the strange Dark Blue Silver Emperor.

Why is it a rumor? Because apart from Tang Ya, there is no other example in the Star Dou Empire. Furthermore, due to the special circumstances of the Tang Sect, Tang Ya did have a history of advancing from Blue Silver Grass to Blue Silver King Martial Soul. So, Tang Ya's advancement is miraculous, but not that miraculous.

“Yes.” Xu Mu nodded, and then the soul guidance inscriptions on his silver-gray soul guidance armor flickered slightly. Six light green illusory soul rings appeared behind Xu Mu. At the same time, these six light green soul rings were connected to each other, and a giant blue-silver plant phantom, as thick as an ancient tree and emitting specks of golden light, appeared behind Xu Mu.

"Level 63 Soul Emperor, Martial Soul: Blue Silver Emperor, Xu Mu." Xu Mu said calmly amidst the prolonged shock of the Star Luo Emperor and Princess.

Although Xu Mu's cultivation speed is undoubtedly much slower compared to Qingxuan Yang Xiao, who has already broken through to the Soul Saint realm, his cultivation talent is still top-tier even within the Star Dou Empire, compared to the likes of Bai Qi and Ye Xuan. Yang Xiao is too special; he's the 'Golden Legend' among millions of people just there to make up the numbers, belonging to a unique category in the comparison.

Moreover, Xu Mu was very lucky. Not all Blue Silver Grass spirits can evolve into Blue Silver Emperors. Even if Ah Yin personally intervened, most Blue Silver Grass spirit masters would first evolve to the Blue Silver King transitional stage, and then use time and resources to eventually become Blue Silver Emperors. However, due to his own contributions and abilities, Xu Mu had the opportunity to be among the first to join Ah Yin's Blue Silver Grass advancement plan.

His exceptional intelligence, which is also his innate powerful soul force, made Xu Mu once again one of the very few among the thousands of Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters.

Perhaps this is fate. The Blue Silver Grass ended Xu Mu's life, but it also ushered in a new life for him.

The weakest is also the strongest, and the trough is also the road ahead.

"You are truly astonishing," Emperor Xingluo exclaimed after a long silence.

It's coal; it can shine and generate heat anywhere.

"Let's get back to the main topic and talk about the conditions offered by your Star Dou."

Having realized that Xu Mu was no longer the same person he used to be, the Xingluo Emperor immediately placed both sides in the right position and began to discuss serious matters.

"The conditions for Starry Sky are very simple."

Xu Mu looked intently at the Star Luo Emperor and slowly said, one sentence at a time:

"The stars in the constellations are the stars of the myriad phenomena!"

"Ha! You guys have quite the nerve."

The Star Luo Emperor first sneered, then said indifferently as usual, "If you can defeat the Sun Moon, Heavenly Soul, Fighting Spirit, and Sea God, then the final outcome for my Star Luo will be decided by you."

Regardless, Xingluo will be the last one to lose.

Xu Mu smiled slightly and said, "Then hurry up and let us join the Star Luo Defense Line. Remember, the general who defeats the Sun and Moon will still be surnamed Xu!"

In a sense, the Star Dou Empire naturally possesses the right to rule over both the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire.

Chapter 260: Stars, Too Brilliant! [Please Subscribe]

Just as Xu Mu was leading the Fourth Soul Guide Army of the Star Dou Empire to deploy defenses in Xingluo City, Truth City, located in the northernmost part of the Star Dou Empire, was facing pressure from the Sea God Alliance Army of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

As the original Shrek City's True Soul Guidance Device City, located on the Star Dou Plain between the Star Dou Great Forest and the Heavenly Soul Empire, no one ever thought that Shrek Academy needed to worry about being invaded by surrounding countries. Therefore, apart from the high walls with unclear meanings and the marks of time, this ancient city that has stood for ten thousand years is basically indefensible.

Therefore, at the suggestion of Ye Cheng, the deputy commander of the Vanguard Legion, Ye Guyi, the Angel Douluo who was then the supreme commander of the Truth War Zone, used Truth City as a base to advance fifty kilometers outward and then used it as a buffer to continue advancing ten kilometers forward, while establishing a triple defense line.

The goal is to ensure that frontline soldiers can retreat in an orderly manner under the cover of the defensive artillery positions in Truth City, thus trading space for time.

At first, Truth City was not within the sphere of influence of Star Dou, but later the Heavenly Soul Empire did not dare to say much. In the subsequent territorial transactions, a river seventy kilometers north of Truth City was designated as the border between the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Star Dou Empire.

Ye Cheng, the deputy commander of the Vanguard Legion, suggested abandoning the strategy of blocking the enemy at the border and instead allowing them to advance further.

The reason for this is that they hope to bring the heart of the Sea God Alliance of the Heavenly Soul Empire into the range of the Soul-Guided Artillery positions behind the Truth War Zone.

Since the City of Truth cannot be moved, the Sea God Alliance, which was formed by the Heavenly Soul Empire and boasts 100,000 Soul Masters, needs to move into the City of Truth's attack range.

As the earliest soul tool city to be built among the three main cities of the Star Dou Empire, Truth City may not have as many fancy features as Dawn City and Star Dou City, but it is ahead of the entire Star Dou Empire in terms of land-based soul tool cannons.

Dawn City is located by the sea, and its main research focus is on long-distance navigation and sea spirit beasts. Star City is located in the center of the primeval forest, and its main research focus is on communication technology and aerospace technology. Only Truth City faces the Heavenly Soul and spends its days figuring out how to launch soul-guided cannonballs directly from the plains to the enemy's home.

Therefore, even if the Dawn District and the Starry Sky District accidentally acquire some breakthrough in soul-guided cannon technology, the final result will be that it will be applied to the City of Truth.

Because truth only exists within the range of cannons.

For example, at the military outpost on the outskirts of Truth City and in the central square inside the city, which has been temporarily converted, two power-consuming "Truth" cannons with a precision strike range of over 200 kilometers are waiting for the enemy's coordinates.

The remaining [Awakening]-class Soul Cannons, with a range of less than 100 kilometers, were continuously transported from the rear of Truth City, assembled, and then deployed in batches to positions near Truth City.

Although the Star Dou House of Representatives led by Huo Yuhao was a bit slow in doing things, they provided Ye Guyi with ample material support.

The Sun Moon Empire's Soul Cannons, capable of firing fixed-mount shells, have a range of only twenty to thirty kilometers. In contrast, the Star Dou Empire's artillery technology has never been used on the Douluo Continent, except when it was used to bully the natives on the Kunlun Continent.

Therefore, whether it's the [Awakening of Insects] cannon that Ye Guyi plans to use as the main cannon, or the [Truth] cannon that he secretly plans to break the deadlock with one shot, it is likely that it will bring a technological shock to the 'Tian Dou Brothers' who have enjoyed the benefits of Soul Masters for tens of thousands of years.

The reason why the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Cannon range development was slow was due to their slow progress in materials technology. In contrast, the Star Dou Empire, thanks to Chen Fu's Martial Soul, rendered the fundamental discipline of materials science utterly insignificant. Whether it was the pressure and heat resistance of the cannonball base or the resistance to soulless environments in the outer shell of long-range missiles, they unknowingly traversed a path that might have taken the Sun Moon Empire hundreds of years to complete.

woo~~~

A high-pitched yet deep bugle call resounded across the deathly silent starry border.

At the front lines of the Truth War Zone, Ye Guyi, clad in a dazzling gold and silver aerial combat-grade soul-guided light armor designed for aerial warfare, peered through the gaps in the front-line turrets at the vast, dark mass of the so-called Sea God Alliance forces along the border river in the distant sky, and sighed softly, "In the end, war is still inevitable."

Ye Guyi, the inheritor of the Holy Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, actually dislikes war from the bottom of her heart, because war means sacrifice and bloodshed. However, war is not something that can be decided by one person alone.

The purpose of the Heavenly Soul Empire in forming the Sea God Alliance was actually very simple: they believed that the Star Dou Empire's model would disrupt their original aristocratic lifestyle. Even if the Sea God returned everything to its original state, it would still be a win for both Heavenly Soul and Dou Ling.

The original system of Douluo Continent allowed established Soul Master families to exploit ordinary people without putting in any effort, without worrying that their descendants would be overthrown by ordinary people at some point. This system, which denied upward mobility to the majority of the population of ordinary people, was the fundamental reason why the Heavenly Soul Empire, the Douling Empire, and the Star Luo Empire were able to maintain stability for tens of thousands of years.

The Star Dou Empire was once so powerful that it instilled a deep sense of despair in the people of the entire continent. At that time, the nobles who did not benefit from the new order of the Star Dou Empire had no choice but to swallow their anger, eke out a living, and 'colluded' with the Star Dou Empire.

Currently, the Star Dou Empire is in a state of extreme weakness due to dealing with Tang San, a being of super-level existence.

At this moment, those stubborn noble soul masters who were unwilling to be ruled by the new order of the Star Dou Empire said: "Lord Sea God, I had no choice before. But now I want to be a good believer!"

"There are always people who face reality but refuse to wake up, stubbornly trying to mold the world into the way they know it. General Ye, it's time to give the order."

Ye Cheng, the deputy commander of the Vanguard Legion, also came from a commoner background without soul power. He guarded Truth City during the Second Douluo Conference and was later transferred to the Vanguard Legion. He fought alongside Bai Qi on the Kunlun Continent, so he returned to serve as the deputy commander of the other half of the Vanguard Legion on the Douluo Continent when the rotation took place. Compared with Bai Qi, he is more composed and humane.

The strongest army in the Star Dou Empire is almost entirely composed of Pandora Soul Masters who lack Soul Power talent. This is because they are pure and willing to give everything for the chance to change their fate, a level of awareness that many Soul Masters lack.

Talent, bloodline, and cultivation are all worthless to the Star Dou Empire.

Ye Guyi glanced once more at the Sea God Alliance crossing the Boundary River in the distance, sighed inwardly, then slightly unfurled the Soul Guidance Auxiliary Wings behind her, blurred the space, and her figure disappeared.

But her voice rang out in the battle spirit instruments of all the soldiers on the first line of defense of the Star Dou Empire's Truth War Zone, which numbered eleven thousand:

"Stars, victory is assured!"

In the second year of the Starry Sky Calendar, the Heavenly Soul Empire, the Fighting Spirit Empire, and the Sun and Moon Empire formed the Sea God Alliance and officially declared war on the Starry Sky Empire and the Star Luo Empire, which formed the Douluo Alliance!

The following day, the Star Luo Empire declared war on the Sun Moon Empire!

The Star Empire declares war on the Heavenly Soul Empire, the Fighting Spirit Empire, and the Sun Moon Empire!

After Ye Guyi returned to the main city to oversee the First Frontline of the Truth War Zone, Ye Cheng became the highest commander of the First Frontline.
