Give Douluo a technological shock

"." Faced with Emperor Xu Tianran's unbridled behavior in front of him, Kong Deming remained expressionless and silent in the palace where only he and Emperor Xu Tianran were present.

The problem of evil spirit masters in the Sun Moon Empire was entirely caused by Xu Tianran's own greed. Otherwise, given Kong Deming's strength at the time, driving away those evil spirit masters would have been very easy. Even if those evil spirit masters resisted fiercely, Kong Deming could have called upon some friends he knew in the Douluo Alliance to jointly encircle and annihilate them.

However, the high-ranking officials of the Sun Moon Empire did not do that. Instead of driving them away, they welcomed them with high-ranking positions and generous salaries.

What does it mean to say that what is poison to the enemy is honey to me?

The evil soul masters who have taken root and multiplied in all levels of the Sun Moon Empire are now extremely difficult to eradicate. Furthermore, due to the development of Pandora evil soul masters, the opening of this shortcut to cultivation has turned every Sun Moon soul master into a potential evil soul master.

Kong Deming also felt powerless in the face of this.

Jing Hongchen was indeed arranged by Kong Deming. Jing Hongchen was a very talented person from the Sun and Moon Empire. Kong Deming did not want him to perish because of the Sun and Moon Empire's ambitions, so he took the initiative to send Jing Hongchen, who was already full of curiosity about the stars, over there.

On the one hand, it was to prepare for the failure of the Sun and Moon, and on the other hand, it was to support a talented younger generation.

However, Kong Deming never anticipated that those evil spirit master groups would be so ruthless as to collude with the army, slaughtering three million Xingluo people during the Sun Moon Army's occupation of the western Xingluo territory.

This made Kong Deming, who had served as a paperhanger for the Sun and Moon Empire for over two hundred years, feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

He couldn't think of any way to preserve the Sun Moon Empire. The only way to reduce casualties among the Sun Moon people was to surrender. Any resistance was truly futile.

However, Kong Deming understood that the Sun and Moon Emperor before him was...

"Master Kong! You are now the only savior of millions of people in the empire!"

Kong Deming's eyes completely lost their luster, and he said woodenly, "...So?"

"Please, Elder Kong Deming, ascend to godhood!"

Chapter 292: The Silver Moon is Fading! The [Ember] Plan! Two Suns in the Sky! [Requesting Monthly Tickets]

Chapter 299 The Silver Moon is About to Fade! The [Ember] Plan! Two Suns in the Sky! [Requesting Monthly Tickets]

"Hahahahahaha."

Kong Deming laughed silently in a very faint voice. This time, he gave up all hope, because his goal as the Sun and Moon Emperor was none other than him!

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Sun and Moon, may I ask you your reasons?"

Kong Deming's expression remained unchanged, but the light in his eyes dimmed considerably. He later learned some inside information about the opportunities for those evil soul masters to create gods from his old friends. In a sense, Xu Tianran's deal with the evil soul master group had been kept secret from Kong Deming all along.

Because Kong Deming, as the Emperor of the Moon, would absolutely not approve of the Pandora God's plan imagined by those evil soul masters.

The most important point is that, according to those people's estimates, quantitative change leads to qualitative change. According to the research of those evil soul masters, it is conservatively estimated that five million ordinary people need to be sacrificed. If they are soul masters, the number will be reduced a bit, but unless a large number of high-level soul masters are sacrificed, the number of people will still not be reduced by much.

Moreover, the reason why such a large population is needed ultimately lies in the fact that the evil soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire have low conversion rates for the souls of the dead and energy, and that the individual strength of the 'gods' they imagine has not reached the limit level of level ninety-nine, which ultimately led to such a terrifying shortage of 'materials'.

Furthermore, the Sun Moon Evil Soul Masters only 'harvested' three million people in Star Luo. The Sun Moon still has a shortfall of two million!

Mortals creating gods? How arrogant! And how incredibly difficult!

In the tens of millions of years of history of Douluo Star, the only event in which a mortal became a god was the ascension to godhood at the Sea God Lake of Shrek Academy!

The world felt that Shrek Academy hadn't paid a huge price; if it weren't for the Sea God's intervention at the last minute, they would have succeeded.

But is that really the case?

The Super Ascension Matrix, built by Shrek Academy, which nearly exhausted its resources over millennia, was already beyond the imagination of the Sun Moon Empire.

Then, a dozen or twenty Title Douluos and hundreds of high-level Soul Masters from Shrek Academy worked day and night to charge the second-generation Ark Energy Core (energy storage). Finally, this energy core, which was no less than the full Soul Power of a Soul Saint, was embedded at each node of the Super Energy Operation Matrix, making the Soul Power Density of the entire Shrek Academy reach a terrifying level!

If Chen Fu hadn't subconsciously considered the issue of explosion prevention when designing the Ark's energy core, the chain reaction of the thousands upon thousands of energy cores exploding together during the divine punishment event following the Ascension to Godhood incident would have been enough to annihilate hundreds of thousands of residents of Shrek City!

Furthermore, Mu En, the 'God Ascendant' within the Super God Ascendant Matrix, is already at the level of a level 99 Limit Douluo, which is the human limit. With the help of the high-pressure energy environment formed by the God Ascendant Matrix, Chen Fu's requirement for Mu En is only a very simple 'God Power Transformation' and 'God Body Transformation', that is, physical godhood. As for 'Soul Transformation', there is no way to achieve it.

Finally, Chen Fu helped Mu En consume a portion of the soul of a demon god from the abyss, which greatly increased Mu En's soul power and caused his soul to transform. Ultimately, Mu En achieved a trinity of divine power, divine body, and divine soul, thus truly proving the Dao and becoming a terrifying new god without divine status whose combat power is somewhat incompatible with the current power evaluation system of the god realm!

Mu En is the only person in the history of Douluo Star to successfully create a god! While Long Xiaoyao is also considered a god-level being, he is only an incomplete god with [divine power + half a divine soul]. Ye Guyi, who followed, was in a similar situation after igniting her divine fire, almost on par with Long Xiaoyao. Even the seemingly unremarkable Ilex simply relied on his innate divine soul to achieve a quiet and effortless breakthrough once his cultivation reached a certain level.

Furthermore, the ascension of Electrolux, Long Xiaoyao, and Ye Guyi to godhood was so quiet and unnoticed, leaving the world completely undisturbed. In contrast, when Mu En attained godhood, the Heavenly Dao spiritual network covering the Douluo Continent was disrupted, and the world's energy level fluctuated. All of this silently illustrates one thing: the terror of a complete new god in a trinity!

And this is the whole story of the Shrek Academy Seagod Lake Ascension to Godhood incident. It may seem that five million lives were not sacrificed, but the actual consumption was far greater!

After the Divine Punishment incident, people from various countries visited the dilapidated Ascension Energy Matrix in Shrek Academy, including a group from the Sun Moon Empire. Perhaps this is the root of their desire to create a god.

Now, in the deserted palace of the Sun and Moon Imperial Palace, Kong Deming looked expressionlessly at Xu Tianran, who still wore a sorrowful expression, and slowly asked his question.

He wanted to know a reason, what exactly could make Emperor Xu Tianran of the Sun and Moon seem to have gone mad and still participate in plunging the people of the Sun and Moon into misery without regard for their circumstances.

'Yes. Why is that?'

Faced with Kong Deming's dull, aged eyes, and his wrinkled face beneath his silver hair, grayed by the side effects of the soul power potion, Xu Tianran involuntarily and silently withdrew his acting skills.

He suddenly realized that he didn't actually need to scheme against this old man who had dedicated his entire life to the empire.

Xu Tianran then put away all his expressions and said in a serious tone and manner as if he were facing an envoy: "We once obtained some ideas about the Ascension Matrix at the Sea God Lake of Shrek Academy. You are aware of this, Elder Kong. The emergence of [Harmony] was inspired by these materials."

"We cannot achieve the terrifying precision of the Ascension Matrix, nor do we need to imitate them."

"Is the Investiture of the Gods Platform clear now?"

Kong Deming remained silent for a long time with a blank face, then slowly said, "The Conferred God Platform can indeed be modified to create a high-pressure environment that blocks the leakage of energy, but you know, that's not what I'm asking about."

“I understand.” Sitting on the throne, Xu Tianran nodded slightly to Kong Deming, who was standing quietly in the palace below, and then said, “This is just to show you that we are indeed very confident in doing this.”

“I understand that continuing to resist will inevitably cause more losses, but once Master Kong agrees to the god-making plan, then even if we are defeated, the empire’s losses will still be manageable.”

"Just like the Limit Douluo among nations in the past, as long as a nation possesses a Limit Douluo, even if that nation faces extremely serious problems, the extent of its ultimate losses will always have a very high lower limit!"

"Because they also fear the retaliation of super-strong individuals! They fear a fight to the death with super-strong individuals!"

This was Xu Tianran's plan. He did not hope that the emergence of a god-level expert in the Sun Moon Empire would change the battlefield situation, because he knew that the Star Dou Empire had already produced a god-level expert, and that the expert had appeared a long time ago.

Although it is unknown whether Mu En is alive or dead, Long Xiaoyao and Ye Guyi are now known as god-level powerhouses worldwide!

The existence of Long Xiaoyao, who destroyed the Holy Spirit Cult, and Ye Guyi, who ignited the divine fire, has begun to make some ambitious people from various forces around the world start to calm down.

"I've seen your plans, and I'm very curious to know how you intend to address the two million shortfall?!"

Kong Deming spoke slowly, but his slow tone contained boundless anger.

Moreover, Xu Tianran's "we" and Kong Deming's "you" have already made their respective positions very clear.

"We've thought of some solutions, but we're still short by one million."

Xu Tianran said coldly, his face expressionless.

"You...you."

Faced with Xu Tianran, who had already begun to take action, Kong Deming opened his mouth several times as if to say something, but in the end he swallowed his words back.

However, Xu Tianran clearly did not want to give up, and instead directly and coldly asked the somewhat exasperated Kong Deming:

"Defeated and surrendered, losing three million citizens of the Sun and Moon Empire; or initiate the creation of a god, losing one million citizens of the Sun and Moon Empire. Your Excellency, guardian of the empire, please tell me your choice."

Xu Tianran insidiously transformed the Pandora evil god plan with the concept of defeat, thus stitching together a human choice of 'killing the few to save the many'.

Furthermore, Xu Tianran cleverly shifted the power to choose this issue to Kong Deming, as if Kong Deming's choice could determine the lives of three million Sun and Moon people.

"..." The white-haired Kong Deming stared blankly at Xu Tianran on the palace steps, his dry lips moving slightly several times, but in the end, he couldn't utter a single word. He simply couldn't imagine when the empire had fallen to such a state.

Seeing Kong Deming standing there in a daze, Xu Tianran, sitting on the throne, couldn't help but feel a little reluctant. However, when he thought that if the Sun Moon Empire were to be defeated, the Sun Moon Royal Family would be extinct, his heart, which was as hard as iron, turned cold again!

Finally, the two remained silent for a long time, until dusk, when Kong Deming, looking extremely haggard, finally spoke:

"Let me think about it."

Seeing that Kong Deming did not refuse directly, Xu Tianran smiled and said, "Well, please go ahead, Elder Kong."

What he feared most was that Kong Deming would refuse outright. Kong Deming was a somewhat stubborn old man, and Xu Tianran needed to convince him to agree. Kong Deming's current attitude had already given Xu Tianran the answer.

Faced with such a super strong person, Xu Tianran could not press too hard, so he easily gave Kong Deming time to consider.

However, when Xu Tianran saw the once majestic guardian of the empire turn around in the dimly lit palace, and then walk out of the palace shakily, even the once upright Super Douluo's body appeared so hunched over at this moment, Xu Tianran's own heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.

'What am I doing?'

Dragging his exhausted body, Kong Deming shakily walked to the palace exit, like a bright silver moon faintly visible in the darkness, forming a stark contrast with the night outside the palace.

“...Natural.” Like a silver moon about to dissipate, Kong Deming faced the darkness outside the palace, leaving Xu Tianran with only a faint silhouette.

"You're the child I watched grow up."

After leaving these words in a weary tone, Kong Deming, whose figure was indistinct, plunged into the darkness outside the palace in the dim light, disappearing completely from Xu Tianran's stunned gaze.

At that moment, Xu Tianran suddenly realized that the old man he had been scheming against was, from beginning to end, an old man who had been silently protecting the empire.

'But... the Sun and Moon royal family cannot perish! If the royal family perishes, the Sun and Moon will perish completely.'

Tonight is a moonless, dark night. Kong Deming, who came out of the Sun and Moon Palace, walked stiffly in the pitch-black night along the streets of the imperial capital, Mingdu, which still emitted a faint glow of soul power.

Looking around the entire street, Kong Deming saw scattered displaced people in every corner. Although the empire was still trying its best to help these refugees fleeing from the north, the young and strong were being conscripted into the army, while the old and frail had disappeared.

Super Douluo's keen senses allowed Kong Deming to clearly perceive the large number of evil soul masters lurking in the surrounding darkness.

"You! Why are you touching me?!"

Suddenly, the voice of a terrified little boy came from a quiet alleyway.

Kong Deming's cold and ruthless gaze instantly pierced through the walls of the street and landed directly on the man in black who was grabbing a little boy in the alley.
