Mu En remained as calm as ever, while Long Xiaoyao frowned slightly but said nothing. Only Ye Guyi, the new angel of faith codenamed "Judgment," frowned deeply and immediately spoke after Ilex finished speaking:

"Are we just going to let the Sun and Moon create evil gods like this?! And the Empire too, with such a huge advantage in soul-guided weapons, why don't they choose a slightly more peaceful way to subdue the Sun and Moon?"

Ye Guyi's voice drew the attention of Electrolux and the others to her.

'So this is what it means to believe in God?' the three thought to themselves. Then, Electrolux turned his gaze to Long Xiaoyao, indicating that he should answer the question.

Long Xiaoyao didn't mince words and said directly to Ye Guyi, "The Star Dou Empire doesn't want a complete Sun and Moon. That would be detrimental to assimilating this invisible killing machine of the system. You don't need to know much about it. Just know that the madness of the upper echelons of the Sun and Moon, which caused the division between the upper and lower levels, will be beneficial for Star Dou to directly assimilate the people there."

"Moreover, you misspoke in one sentence. We are not 'laissez-faire,' but rather 'expecting.'"

"Huh?!" Ye Guyi was stunned the moment Long Xiaoyao uttered the word 'expectation'.

At this moment, Chen Hong's calm voice rang in Ye Guyi's ears: "Just like back in Kunlun Continent, for some kind of benefit, the Empire used the God of Slaughter incident to clean up the indigenous people who had always opposed it. At that time, you were not a member of the Sword Pavilion, so it's normal that you didn't know."

"."

"We are not good people. At most, we can only guarantee that we will not bully others. But if others encounter difficulties because of their own stupidity, we will only selectively help them."

"Like the case of the 'God of Slaughter,' will we handle it? Yes, we will. But will we handle it very promptly? No. Because they brought it upon themselves, and bringing it upon themselves really will lead to death."

"Speaking of the current Sun and Moon Empire, do you think we don't know what those little bastards in the Star Dou Empire are thinking? We do know, but their starting point is good, even if they are starting from their own perspective."

"The Star Dou Empire has its own interests, as does the Sword Pavilion. Although the Sun Moon Empire also has its own interests, we should let them refrain from making demands before they become citizens of the Star Dou Empire."

"And do you know what the interests of the Sword Pavilion are?"

Chen Hong, who had not yet appeared, spoke to Ye Guyi, who was standing there in a daze, through his divine sense.

"Protect the stars?"

"No! It's the fourth-generation energy technology codenamed [Divine Heart]!"

"We're waiting! We're waiting for the answer to the path of the evil god Pandora!"

"What?! You?! You guys?! You're going to treat human lives like disposable materials?!"

Ye Guyi was instantly shocked.

Everyone: "???"

However, she found that everyone was looking at her with puzzled expressions and strange looks in their eyes.

Chen Hong's helpless voice paused for a long time before it rang out again: "Please look beyond the surface to see the essence of things. I have studied the Pandora God's plan. The essence of this god-making plan is to treat human life as a consumable substance. This substance includes physical matter, spiritual matter, and soul power. In short, it is a very cheap but very perfect comprehensive substance package."

"The essence of the entire Pandora God scheme is to consume matter, gather matter, integrate matter, and then elevate matter to a higher dimension."

"Since the Sun and Moon side has already started implementing it, we need to wait for them to produce a result, a result that proves that the ascension of matter to a higher dimension is possible."

"Then, after obtaining their specific test results, we will carry out the research and development of the truly epoch-making fourth-generation energy technology of Xingdou based on this."

"This is precisely where the interests of our Sword Pavilion lie, what do you say?"

"The fourth-generation Ark energy core is codenamed [Heart of God], [Divine Heart], [Void Engine], [Black Hole], [Cosmic Lighter], and [Alchemy Furnace]."

Chapter 291: Inviting Master Kong to His Death!! [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Chapter 298 Inviting Master Kong to His Death!! [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Faced with Chen Hong's explanation, Ye Guyi remained silent for a long time, and ultimately wisely refrained from inquiring about anything further.

From the few words of Electrolux and the mysterious young voice, Ye Guyi realized that the power deep within the Star Dou was far beyond her imagination. Even though she had already ignited the divine fire and attained the status of an angel god, she still felt that she was the weakest person present.

"Let's wait a few days. The [Ember] Project is over. As long as Xingdou doesn't go completely mad, he should only bomb the Mingdou Mountain area and completely sound the death knell for the Sun and Moon."

Chen Hong, who was at the Soul Tool Research Institute in Star City, was working on the final stages of Project [Ember] with a group of elite Soul Tool Masters. He didn't chat much with Ye Guyi and the others in Star City, but instead whispered to his subordinates, "You guys summarize and organize the data; it will all be stored in the database. If all goes well, the modular components from various locations will be transported to the research institute before tonight, and then we can finally have a long vacation."

The elite soul masters around Chen Hong were overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Teacher Hong!"

"Long live Teacher Hong!"

Looking at the excited men, women, and children who weren't particularly strong in terms of soul power but had exceptionally high levels of soul tool technology, Chen Hong couldn't help but smile.

Teaching bright and eager-to-learn students is undoubtedly a very pleasant thing for him.

Just as Chen Hong was about to leave the research institute to check on Huo Yuhao's progress at the engineering institute, a timid little girl among the group of soul master students called out to him in a soft, sweet voice.

"Teacher Hong, I've always had a question, but I'm not sure if I should say it."

Chen Hong turned around and looked at the little girl hiding behind his classmate. Her sweet and innocent appearance made him smile slightly, and he teased her, "Little Frog, if you don't know whether you should say this or not, the answer is no."

"Ah," the cute little girl, whom Chen Hong called Little Frog, was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting such a response.

"According to the psychology of Douluo Continent, when a Douluo person is unsure whether they should or shouldn't, doesn't that mean they actually really want to say it?"

"Hahaha~" Everyone present couldn't help but smile knowingly as they watched the little frog earnestly explain to Chen Hong.

Little Frog is the youngest student in the Star Soul Guidance Device Research Institute that Chen Hong established himself. She is shy, serious, and likes to argue, which makes her senior brothers and sisters always like to tease her.

"Hehe, okay, then tell me." Chen Hong actually understood what his youngest student wanted to say; he just subconsciously made a few teasing remarks.

"Okay!" Having received permission, the little frog immediately spoke seriously to Chen Hong in a soft voice, "Teacher Hong, my question is, since Project [Ember] is a murder weapon, are we considered accomplices?"

"That's a good question. I suppose you haven't asked your senior brothers and sisters about it." Little Frog's question did not surprise Chen Hong. As a genius girl who was only fifteen years old, she still had some black-and-white thinking about the issue of soul tools.

"I won't go into the specifics of this issue, but I'll just give you a simple example."

“Soul guide device = tool, the good or evil of the tool = the good or evil of the person.”

"The hoe that grows grain to feed a large family can also become a killing weapon in an uprising when needed."

"The same goes for Project Ember. Its purpose is to end wars, not to slaughter living beings. Moreover, as the predecessor of Project Ember, the reactor's role is to provide us with convenient and quick energy. Project Ember can do the same, but the era it is in now is different, and the era gives it a different meaning."

"Alright, go down and think about it slowly. If you don't understand, just ask your senior brothers. They're all bastards, so don't worry about their feelings."

Chen Hong smiled, took a few steps forward, patted the little frog's head, then left without looking back after saying a few words.

Sun and Moon Empire, Mingdu.

Emperor Xu Tianran of the Sun and Moon Palace has recently looked much more haggard. The pride and high spirits he once had when he swept across the Star Luo Empire have long since vanished under the encirclement and blockade of the rapidly increasing Star Dou Army.

He looked wearily at Kong Deming, the Silver Moon Douluo, who stood expressionless and silent below the palace, and said with a sense of loss, "Elder Kong, has the Sun Moon Douluo's power truly vanished? You've witnessed the changes in the Star Dou Army's equipment during these two months of blockade. They've achieved modularization of soul tools. This technology, in a nearly open manner, has allowed soul tool masters to continuously combine and improve them, ultimately innovating and allowing their soul tool equipment to change exponentially in a very short time."

"How long has it been since those diamond-shaped manned aircraft, capable of ascending vertically to tens of thousands of meters, achieving supersonic speeds in the air without soul power, and even directly traversing through space, appeared? At first, they were just easy targets for us; even a slightly stronger soul master could shoot them down. But what happened? The speed of those aircraft has become faster and faster. Later, even composite aircraft combining physical acceleration and space travel appeared. Although this method of flight is very inconvenient for top-tier experts, it allows soul masters like soul kings and soul emperors to achieve linear speeds comparable to or even surpassing those of super douluo. I have no doubt that they will soon develop aircraft with flight speeds comparable to limit douluo."

"Given all this, do you think our human wave tactics, besides only causing more casualties, still have a chance of winning?"

"No, no, no, actually, even setting aside victory, we can't deal with that soul-guided weapon fleet lying across the northern seas of the Empire. Even with your intervention, Elder Kong, we couldn't break through their defenses."

Xu Tianran kept muttering to himself, seemingly lost in thought. He had been under immense pressure lately. The sudden threat of the Star Dou Army upgrading its soul-guided weapons, the pressure from domestic evil soul master groups to create gods—the overwhelming pressure from both inside and outside left Xu Tianran unsure of what to do.

Moreover, in the northern seas of the Sun Moon Empire, that invincible modern soul tool fleet made Xu Tianran truly feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

In order to deal with the soul tool fleet that had been harassing the northern part of the empire, Xu Tianran had repeatedly sent Kong Deming, whose strength was comparable to that of a Limit Douluo, to destroy the soul tool fleet.

However, in the end, when the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear King, ranked fourth on the Beast Ranking, appeared in the Dawn Fleet, Xu Tianran's dream of destroying the Dawn Fleet was completely shattered.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear King, second only to the Beast God Emperor in melee combat among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, is an invincible defensive turret!

Although he is easily kited because of his short legs, he is now standing on the Dawn Mothership, whose dictionary has been nothing but kiting others since birth. Anyone who dares to approach an enemy within a certain range of the Dawn Mothership will have to test the sharpness of the Sky-Rending Claw, which can tear through the defenses of the Beast God Emperor Tian.

Furthermore, Kong Deming had joined forces with level nine soul masters in the country to conduct long-range artillery bombardments against the Dawn Fleet, but ordinary shells that were not fast enough would destroy the anti-aircraft guns on the enemy's frigates during flight.

The Dawn Mothership comes with a mental area network. Any foreign object within this area can be marked by the Dawn Mothership immediately, and then the escorting frigates will fire to intercept it based on the lead time.

Despite losing a significant number of men, Kong Deming and his team still hadn't accomplished anything.

"..." Faced with Xu Tianran, who seemed mentally unstable and kept muttering to himself, Kong Deming remained silent for a moment before finally speaking:

"Your Majesty, we lack truly decisive long-range soul tools. In the past, we have always been relatively passive, and all our soul tool research has been more passive. For example, the Conferred God Platform that our country has developed, my Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, etc. are mainly defensive because we never thought that we would lose our advantage in range."

"Furthermore, Xingdou is actually giving us a chance to surrender, otherwise they wouldn't have kept besieging us without attacking. The empire's great cause was doomed from the moment it failed to quickly break through Xingluo's capital. When Commander Xu Mu was able to withstand the empire's blitzkrieg with a 10,000-strong army equipped with soul-guided weapons in conjunction with the Xingluo army, we had already stepped into defeat."

"History has no ifs. If we had maintained good relations with Xingluo back then, and hadn't completely driven them into rebellion, then before Xingdou became a war, we would have had a chance to join forces with the armies of the three kingdoms in Xingdou's capital. But this is how it ended. From the moment we took in those evil soul masters, our fate completely changed."

"..." Seeing that Kong Deming, who had been as still as a wooden statue, finally spoke, a well-hidden glint of cold light flashed in Xu Tianran's eyes. He continued with a weary expression, sighing:

"Those evil spirit masters slaughtered nearly three million people in the Western Realm of Star Luo. Do you think we can surrender after such a horrific scene? I understand that you, Elder Kong, initially felt that such resistance was a meaningless sacrifice, but have you ever considered what kind of slaughter our people would face from the enemy's army if our army did not resist?"

"Does admitting defeat mean you've lost half the battle, Master Kong?"

Kong Deming remained silent: "."

In his view, the defeat of the Sun and Moon forces was inevitable. The best outcome for the people of the Sun and Moon forces would be to hand over all the evil soul masters and all the war criminals who had committed the crimes, and await the judgment of the Star Alliance.

"Old Master Kong! Does admitting defeat mean you've lost half the battle?!" Seeing that Kong Deming remained silent, Xu Tianran's somewhat deranged voice suddenly turned stern. He spoke directly to the expressionless Kong Deming, his voice filled with anguish:

"Old Kong! We cannot escape the sins of the three million people in Xingluo! Once we admit defeat, it means that all the high-ranking officials of the empire will be purged! The Sun Moon Royal Family will be wiped out! All Soul Master families will be destroyed! Millions of Sun Moon people will be displaced!"

"My death, Xu Tianran, is a small matter, but once our army lays down its arms, how will our unarmed people in the rear monitor whether the enemy army is willing to spare our people?!"

"Three million people! Even if it's a matter of paying with their own lives, that would still be a quarter of our population slaughtered! So we cannot surrender, Master Kong!!!"

As Xu Tianran spoke, he couldn't help but burst into tears. Kong Deming was a staunch royalist, but now this royalist had become a capitulationist within the Sun Moon Empire!

The spiritual pillars of these surrenderers were Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall!

Because Jing Hongchen and his grandchildren all went to Xingdou! Jing Hongchen went to Xingdou because of the Third Douluo Conference, and Kong Deming specifically named him as the team leader. But this team leader became the only Title Douluo from the Sun Moon Empire who went to Xingdou to attend the Third Douluo Conference and did not return home!
