Unbeknownst to them, the Second and Third Armies of Star Dou emerged from the darkness and joined the reconstruction of Truth City.

Bathed in the soft, warm light of the lamps on the ruins of Truth City, civilians began to appear among the soldiers.

Chapter 286 A Sinner Crowned Empress! Known in History as: Empress Dawn! [Requesting Monthly Tickets]

As the dawn gradually illuminated the horizon, the ruins of Truth City were quickly being dealt with thanks to the help of soldiers and civilians who rushed from the vicinity upon seeing the lights.

On the vast Truth Square, a simple high platform was erected. Orange, dressed in a magnificent azure robe, held a beautiful blue-gold soul tool longsword with starlight shimmering on it. She stood silently on the high platform, watching the seventy to eighty thousand soldiers and civilians who were arriving from the surrounding area below, as well as the white sheets covering the bodies that were spread throughout the square. It wasn't until the first ray of dawn shone through the thick clouds onto Truth City that she slowly came back to her senses.

The entire scene was filled with an indescribable sadness and silence. Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians who had come from all over the country stood in the white-clothed square below, looking up at the woman with the long sword on the high platform in the center of the square with sorrowful eyes.

Deng!

Under the watchful eyes of thousands of soldiers and civilians, the blue-gold starlight blade in Ju Zi's hand rang out with a crisp sound. Then, Ju Zi thrust the exceptionally beautiful level nine soul tool, [Dawn·Daybreak], into the ground with a backhand motion. Invisible blue-gold starlight particles unfolded in the sky around Ju Zi, creating a magnificent field of gold and blue brilliance.

【Dawn - Daybreak】, a level nine soul tool made by Chen Fu. As a symbol of power to command the Dawn Fleet of Kunlun Continent and even the affairs of the entire Kunlun Continent, it is often more symbolic than practical. Except for a few important occasions, Ning Yi, the first commander-in-chief of the Dawn Fleet, usually only used it as a ceremonial object.

Now, on the ruins of Truth City, under the watchful eyes of thousands of soldiers and civilians, the current commander of the Dawn Fleet, Orange, silently activated this magnificent power artifact. In the spiritual realm emanating from the beautiful artifact, her ethereal and authoritative voice resounded in everyone's ears:

"In the name of the Star Empire [Dawn], we hereby declare: Those who offend Star Empire, though far away, shall be punished!"

"Now! Bring out the criminals!"

tread!tread!tread!

As soon as Orange finished speaking, a thunderous sound of footsteps echoed across the empty square!

By the time the soldiers and civilians in the square reacted, they saw a familiar yet unfamiliar heavy armored legion escorting a large group of Soul Masters dressed in tattered Heavenly Soul Army uniforms from a distance.

thump!

In the deathly silence, the Heavenly Soul Army, captured by the wolf riders, were escorted to the foot of the altar by the armored warriors, their faces ashen.

At the same time, Bai Qi, the commander of the Vanguard Legion, personally escorted a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes to the altar. Yang Xiao was also there, escorting an elderly man with gray hair. They appeared on the altar together.

thump!

In front of everyone, both the two special figures on the altar and the two or three thousand Heavenly Soul Army soldiers below were kicked down by the Star Dou Army and knelt on the ground, trembling.

Deng!

Orange held the starlight-infused longsword high above her head, its dazzling brilliance gleaming in the morning light, captivating everyone's attention.

With a blank expression, Ju Zi pointed her sword at the richly dressed middle-aged man before her and solemnly declared to everyone present:

"This is the emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire! The primary culprit in the war against the empire! The main culprit behind the empire's devastating losses!"

"Now, here I shall pronounce my judgment upon him in the name of [Dawn]: He shall be executed!"

Orange's cold declaration echoed in everyone's ears, and then the entire square seemed to begin to stir!

"kill!"

"Slay the bandits!!"

"Hahaha! Heaven has eyes!!"

"Hahaha!! Waaaaah!!"

The emotions of the audience were instantly stirred up by Ju Zi. Then, under the watchful eyes of thousands, Ju Zi slowly raised the dazzling [Dawn·Daybreak] with both hands. The shining ritual artifact served as the instrument of judgment at this moment. In the fervent anticipation of everyone who was almost subconsciously holding their breath, with a swish, clean and decisive move, without the slightest hesitation, she ruthlessly slashed across the neck of the Heavenly Soul Emperor, whose face was ashen and who had been collectively abandoned by the Heavenly Soul Kingdom!

Then, *poof*!

Hot blood splattered all over the ground, and the headless body of the Heavenly Soul Emperor lay limp, still twitching unconsciously.

boom!

The emotions of the thousands of soldiers and civilians in Truth Square were completely ignited!

"His crime deserves death!!"

"Long live the stars!!"

"Ah!! Hahaha!! I've got my revenge!!"

Looking at the soldiers and civilians who were almost in a frenzy, Orange on the altar held the bloodless Starlight Sword and remained silent. The old man not far from the corpse of the Heavenly Soul Emperor closed his eyes in pain, choosing not to see it.

However, the elderly man with gray hair didn't have to wait long. Once everyone's emotions had calmed down, Ju Zi once again pointed her sword at the old man in front of everyone, ruthlessly declaring;

"Elder of the Xuan Shui Sect, the level 94 Title Douluo [Xuan Gui] Douluo, is the number one culprit who led the attack on my Truth City!"

"It's him! It's him!"

"If it weren't for the fact that his Heavenly Soul Army couldn't even reach Truth City! If they couldn't reach my Truth City, then Truth City wouldn't have such a large population!!"

“He should be executed!!!”

“He should be executed!!!”

As the Xuan Turtle Douluo who led the charge at the forefront of the attack on Truth City, he was quite famous within the Star Dou army. Furthermore, the Xuan Turtle Douluo was the only Title Douluo to survive the concentrated fire of the Jingzhe Cannon Formation in Truth City, making him quite familiar to most of the Star Dou army soldiers who survived the battle of Truth City.

They originally thought they might never catch each other in this lifetime, but unexpectedly they were captured by the Dawn Marines and sent to the guillotine by Ju Zi, the commander of the Dawn Fleet, along with the emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire!

With his soul power sealed, the Xuan Turtle Douluo, kneeling on the altar, listened to the fierce roars below. His face grew even paler, and his already severely injured body felt a sense of unease within him. But in the end, he did nothing, accepting his fate completely, and silently knelt on the altar.

He knew that he was a sacrifice pushed out by the Xuan Shui Sect to avoid being purged by the victorious nation, and if he did not die, his sect might lose its lineage and disappear into the long river of history.

It sounds tragic, that after risking his life for the sect for so many years, he was the first to be abandoned. But that's reality. Choosing the wrong side, it's all about winning and losing; you have to accept the consequences. That's all.

But alas.

Deep down, Xuan Turtle Douluo still harbored a trace of sorrow. The woman named Orange possessed a heart utterly incongruous with her lovely name. Within the entire Heavenly Soul Empire, sects desperate to save their own leaders were pushing them forward to die in their place. But hope, by its very nature, is an expensive and elusive thing.

"His crime deserves death!" Amidst the gradually fading noise, Ju Zi's cold voice rang in Xuan Turtle Douluo's ears.

With a soft sigh, Xuan Turtle Douluo lowered his head and closed his eyes.

Once upon a time, the once high and mighty Title Douluo was now kneeling and beheaded by a group of people who didn't even have a Soul Douluo.

Swish!

A blazing star blade flashed, and Xuan Turtle Douluo's body fell heavily onto the cold guillotine in Truth City. The title of [Xuan Turtle] was thus bestowed, along with the word 'Douluo'.

"Elephant Armor Sect"

The fall of Xuan Turtle Douluo was just the beginning. More and more family heads, clan leaders, sect masters, and others who had been collectively abandoned by the Heavenly Soul Empire were personally escorted onto the stage by Bai Qi and Ye Xuan, and then sentenced to death in front of everyone!

Those who were abandoned by their families and sects were the ones Ju Zi brought with her when she left Tianhun City, all for this moment.

The Heavenly Soul Empire's approach to the Star Dou Empire cannot be the same. Although the Star Dou Empire was also an invading nation in nature, its weakness meant it not only failed to inflict significant damage on the Star Dou Empire but also nearly suffered a counter-invasion. The Heavenly Soul Empire, however, was truly fighting to the death against the Star Dou Empire, especially after the Star Dou Empire suffered a god-level attack, leading to a massive military buildup and a desperate attempt to escape. This resulted in at least tens of thousands of civilian and military casualties who were unable to evacuate, all of whom were from the Heavenly Soul army. This grudge cannot be easily forgotten.

Furthermore, Ju Zi understood perfectly well that the Star Dou Empire under Chen Fu's leadership was too aloof, so aloof that the outside world couldn't perceive its existence, and the Star Dou Empire itself couldn't accurately assess the gap between itself and the outside world. On the other hand, the Star Dou Empire under Huo Yuhao's leadership was too timid and hesitant, possessing a strong foundation but lacking the domineering confidence that a powerful nation should have!

The Star Dou Empire now needs to be domineering!

Orange knows what she wants to do. As for right and wrong, merit and demerit...

Let future generations judge!

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

On the high platform, which was called an altar but was actually a guillotine, the sky gradually brightened and then gradually darkened. The starlight sword in Orange's hand, which was not stained with blood, remained spotless and still dazzling. However, the ground of the platform was covered with a thin layer of blood-red carpet, which even scared the Soul Masters and nobles who were escorted up there to death.

Even so, Orange remained expressionless, suppressing her nausea and disgust, and acted as the ruthless executioner on the altar.

As expected, the trial ceremony actually held on the ruins of Truth City was quickly transmitted to various places through various communication methods, first to various parts of the Star Dou Empire, then to various parts of the Heavenly Soul Kingdom, and then to various parts of the Douling Kingdom, and then slowly to the Star Luo Empire.

Compared to the terror within the Heavenly Soul Kingdom and the Fighting Spirit Kingdom, the Star Dou Empire fell into a long silence after a brief period of excitement regarding the trial ceremony that took place on the ruins of the True Truth City.

In the deathly silent Starry House of Representatives, everyone maintained an eerie, oppressive atmosphere as they remotely handled internal affairs across the empire via a makeshift satellite communication network. Chen Hong, using the alias "Hong," leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed, staring enigmatically at the empty seat at the very front of the House of Representatives.

Since he doesn't have Chen Fu's bug-like ability to control matter, Huo Yuhao, who has lost his physical body, will find it difficult to recover in a short time. At the same time, in order to strengthen the normal fusion of his martial soul, Huo Yuhao in his ghost state is still at home with the comatose Wang Dong to recuperate.

Chen Hong already knew what had happened in Truth City, and he also knew that the trial ceremony there had lasted all day. The declaration of office that he had drafted was pressed under the table in front of him. He crossed his arms, his eyes flickering, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

The first day passed quickly, and Chen Hong, still deep in thought, learned that the orange was building a memorial cemetery for the Battle of Truth City.

The next day passed, and the oranges were still in the ruins of Truth City.

The third day passed, and Chen Hong was still silently waiting for something in the House of Representatives.

On the fourth day, leaving a small number of city defense troops and academy soldiers to guard outside Truth City, Orange led the Dawn Marines, half of the Vanguard Legion, the full-strength Azure Wolf Cavalry Regiment, and the first, second, third, and fifth legions of Star Dou City towards Star Dou City!

A uniform army of soul tools, the beautiful flying soul tools spewing out dazzling tail flames and leaving an overwhelming iron curtain in the air!

"Is it finally here?"

Thanks to the satellite communication network developed by Huo Yuhao, Chen Hong, who was far away in the Star Dou Great Forest, learned of Ju Zi's departure with his army shortly after the army set off.

"Hehe. Fate is always quite dramatic."

Leaving the laboratory, Chen Hong walked along the path leading to the Star Dou House of Representatives, a strange smile on his face.

"When I thought it was Ye Guyi, I never expected it to be Huo Yuhao."
