Chapter 497 Douluo Federal Republic (Grand Finale)

After the five great god kings reunited, the relationship between the god realm and the Douluo Continent was completely changed.

In the past, the realm of gods was high and mighty.

Aside from the inheritance of divine positions, he almost never inquired about the lives of ordinary people on the Douluo Continent.

However, Tang Chuan clearly had no intention of continuing this situation.

The path for soul beasts to become gods has been reopened.

The biggest conflict between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts has gradually been alleviated with the emergence of the God-given Soul Ring system.

The next issue to address is the problem that has persisted within the human race of Douluo Continent for thousands of years.

war.

noble.

slave.

And the endless struggle between the three empires.

The Divine Realm Committee.

Tang Chuan sat on the throne of the Asura God.

Below, a huge map of Douluo Continent floats in mid-air.

Heavenly Dou Empire.

Star Luo Empire.

Empire of the Sun and Moon.

Three vast empires occupied most of the continent.

Although Tang San is dead and the hidden threat has completely disappeared, there are still undeniable conflicts between the three empires.

Especially between the Sun Moon Empire and the original Douluo Continent.

Both sides have experienced war.

Countless casualties.

Whether nobles or commoners, they all harbored deep suspicion towards each other.

Tang Chuan looked at the map and slowly said, "The new rules of the God Realm have already resolved the issue of soul rings."

"But if humanity itself continues to wage war over land, resources, and imperial power, then changing the relationship between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts will only solve part of the problem."

Di Tian sat on the Throne of Destruction and said calmly, "Humanity has always been like this."

"War is justified in the fight for territory."

"War is possible for money."

"War is justified in the pursuit of the so-called throne."

"Although soul beasts fight each other, at least they won't send hundreds of thousands of their kind to their deaths just to sit in a chair."

Dugu Bo rolled his eyes after hearing this.

"Now that you're a god-king, stop calling people 'human' all the time."

"There are idiots among humans, and there are just as many among you soul beasts."

"Didn't Xiong Jun always want to fight you?"

Di Tian's face darkened.

"That's different."

"What's the difference?"

Dugu Bo grinned.

"One wants to seize the throne, the other wants to seize the position of Beast God."

"In the end, isn't it all about power?"

Di Tian was unable to refute it for a moment.

Gu Yuena ignored the two of them and looked at Tang Chuan instead.

"You want to unify the continent?"

"It's not about unification."

Tang Chuan shook his head.

"At least it shouldn't be a situation where one empire swallows up two other empires."

"If the Heavenly Dou forces unify the world, the Star Luo people will not submit."

"If Xingluo is unified, the Tiandou people will not submit."

"The Sun and Moon Empire is even less likely to accept being annexed by two other empires."

"In the end, it will only sow the seeds of the next war."

Xiao Ruier seemed to be deep in thought.

"So you mean—"

Tang Chuan looked at the map.

"Abolish the imperial system."

"To establish a new country."

"It's not about fighting against fate."

"Not Xingluo."

"Neither the sun nor the moon."

"Everyone starts anew with a new identity."

Dugu Bo's eyes flickered slightly.

"You're even planning to depose the emperor?"

"Why can't it be abolished?"

Tang Chuan countered, "By what right does a person's birth determine whether they are born to rule tens of millions of people?"

"What gives someone of so-called royal blood the right to always be above ordinary people?"

"Soul Master cultivation requires at least talent and hard work."

"The throne, however, can be inherited through bloodline."

"This system should be changed in the first place."

Di Tian nodded thoughtfully.

That makes sense.

Tang Chuan pointed.

The territories of the three great empires gradually disappeared from the map.

Instead, a vast kingdom covering the entire Douluo Continent was established.

"The new country will be called..."

"Douluo Federal Republic"

The decision of the God Realm quickly spread to the Douluo Continent.

of course.

Tang Chuan did not issue a divine decree directly from the heavens to forcibly order the dissolution of the three empires.

While that approach is simple, it will only leave behind countless hidden dangers.

The true integration lasted for several years.

The first thing to happen was a ceasefire between the three great empires.

Representatives from Tian Dou, Xing Luo, and Ri Yue were simultaneously dispatched to Tian Dou City to convene the first continental joint conference.

Sect.

College.

The Soul Master Organization.

Representatives of the common people.

-

military.

Chamber of Commerce.

For the first time, representatives of some soul beasts that have already taken human form and possess extremely high intelligence also appeared at the same meeting.

On the very first day, the entire meeting nearly descended into chaos.

The Sun Moon Empire was unwilling to relinquish its advantage in soul-guided technology.

The Star Luo Empire fears its military power will be weakened.

Many nobles within the Heaven Dou Empire strongly opposed abolishing the hereditary system.

"On what grounds?"

A nobleman from the Heavenly Dou clan suddenly slammed his fist on the table.

"My family has been in this lineage for hundreds of years!"

"This fiefdom was bestowed upon my grandfather by the late emperor!"

"Why should you take back your word now?"

Another Star Luo nobleman also stood up.

"Abolish hereditary titles?"

"Then what about the achievements of our ancestors?"

For a moment, the meeting room was in complete chaos.

however.

The person chairing the meeting simply placed a document on the table.

"The new system does not deny the contributions of our ancestors."

"Your ancestors performed meritorious service; they are the ones who should be rewarded."

"The legal wealth they left behind can still be inherited by their descendants."

"But positions, judicial privileges, fiefdoms, and the power to dispose of one's subjects at will are not inheritable."

"Your father's merits do not mean that you are inherently more noble than others from birth."

One sentence gradually quieted the room.

Immediately following this, a series of reforms officially began.

Nobles can continue to own legal private property.

However, they are not allowed to have their own private army.

Taxes may not be levied independently.

Private punishments are prohibited.

The people of the fiefdoms shall no longer be regarded as family property.

All local officials must undergo unified assessment, selection, and supervision.

The system in which a noble family ruled a piece of land for hundreds of years has become a thing of the past.

The first thing abolished during the reforms was slavery.

Various locations across the Douluo Continent.

Countless slave markets were closed on the same day.

Slave contracts are hereby abolished.

All human trafficking is a felony.

Nobles, merchants, and Soul Masters—no matter their status—will be dealt with according to federal law if they continue to traffic people.

Even Soul Masters are no exception.

Because the new federal law clearly stipulates a principle.

"Status must not supersede life."

Soul Masters possess power.

But power does not equate to privilege.

Even titled Douluo who kills ordinary civilians must be tried.

The same laws apply to ordinary people as well.

The difference lies only in the crime itself.

It's not about who has the bigger fist.

Several years have passed.

The Sun Moon Empire, the Heavenly Dou Empire, and the Star Luo Empire all successively abolished the title of Emperor.

The original imperial family of the Three Kingdoms retained private property and honorary status, but lost the right to hereditary rule.

-

The armies of the three empires were gradually reorganized.

finally.

Central China.

In what was once the border region of three kingdoms, a brand new city has sprung up.

This city has no empire in its name.

Yi was appointed as Qi Wei—

Federal City.

In a certain year of the Douluo Calendar.

Hundreds of thousands of people from all over the continent gathered outside the Federal City.

In the sky, large soul-guided spaceships manufactured by the Sun Moon Empire hovered.

On the ground, Tian Dou and Xing Luo Zeng Jing's armies stood side by side.

Neither side raised the banner of the old empire again.

Instead, a brand new federal flag was adopted.

As the flag was raised.

A voice resounded throughout the city via a soul-guided loudspeaker.

"From this day forward."

"The Heavenly Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the Sun Moon Empire have officially ended their respective reigns."

"The territories, populations, systems, and public resources of the three countries have been merged."

"The new nation was officially established."

"Country Name One"

"Douluo Federal Republic!"

boom!

The entire Federal City erupted in deafening cheers.

From this moment on.

On the Douluo Continent, the three great empires no longer exist.

There is only one Douluo Federal Republic.

of course.

What Tang Chuan truly valued was not the character "Yuan".

Rather, it refers to the system established after the new nation was founded.

Under the supervision of the divine realm and with the joint efforts of various parties on the continent, a new system covering ordinary people, soul masters, and soul beasts was gradually established.

The first thing is education.

Federal regulations stipulate that all children of legal age, regardless of their social status (noble, commoner, merchant, or farmer), can attend basic colleges for free education.

At the age of six, they all underwent martial spirit awakening.

Those who possess soul power can choose to enter the Soul Master Academy.

Those without soul power can continue to learn about agriculture, medicine, mechanics, soul guidance technology, commerce, construction, and other related fields.

Martial spirit is no longer the sole criterion for determining a person's future.

Even ordinary people without soul power can become excellent engineers and researchers by learning the soul guidance technology brought by the Sun Moon Empire.

The situation where those without soul power could only farm for their entire lives is gradually changing.

Secondly, there is elderly care.

Residents who work or produce for the federal government and pay certain public welfare fees are eligible to receive basic living allowances once they reach the prescribed age.

Elderly people without children are cared for by local public institutions.

Those who have lost their ability to work can also receive basic assistance.

For the first time in federal law, a single sentence appeared.

"The young are provided for, and the elderly are cared for."

Orphans are no longer destined to live on the streets.

Public nursing homes were established in various regions.

People with disabilities are no longer left to wait for death simply because they are unable to work.

Healing-type Soul Masters and ordinary doctors together form the public medical system.

Under Shi Leng Leng's impetus, the Nine Heart Begonia lineage even established the first batch of public medical colleges on the mainland.

Healing-type Soul Masters no longer serve only nobles and high-level Soul Masters.

Ordinary people can also receive treatment.

One of the most important reforms remains the relationship between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts.

The outer edge of the Starry Sky Forest.

In the past, this place was always a gathering place for a large number of Soul Masters who were preparing to obtain Soul Rings.

Mercenaries.

Soul Hunter Squad.

Noble guards.

Teacher at the Soul Master Academy.

Soul beasts die every day.

Every day, Soul Masters die in the forest.

However, this area has completely changed.

-

A vast city of peace was built on the outskirts of the forest.

On one side is the residential area for human soul masters.

On the other side is a forest area managed by highly intelligent soul beasts.

There was no high wall between the two sides.

There is only one huge federal administration center.

Soul Masters no longer need to hunt Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Rings.

After breaking through levels 10, 20, and 30, you only need to go to the various temples and the holy lands of divinely bestowed soul rings to apply for the corresponding soul ring assessment.

Soul beasts no longer need to fight back to the death whenever they see humans.

of course.

Peace does not mean that there will be no more conflicts between the two sides.

Soul beasts will still attack humans who enter their territory.

Poachers still exist among humans.

Therefore, the Federation established a special agency for the protection of soul beasts and the handling of conflicts.

Among them were human Soul Masters.

There are also soul beasts that can take human form.

Even some highly intelligent ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts can become managers of forest areas.

For the first time, both sides began to truly attempt to resolve the issue under the same set of rules.

Instead of simply relying on prolonged killing.

Deep within the Starry Sky Forest.

Di Tian watched as a human caravan passed through the outer edge of the forest via the designated road. Several ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts nearby merely glanced at them from afar without launching an attack.

He remained silent for a long time.

Brigitte stood beside him.

"Who could have imagined such a dramatic turn of events?"

Di Tian said calmly, "In the past, humans came to the forest for the sake of spirit rings."

"When a soul beast sees a human, it will naturally strike first."

"Now that they don't need to hunt soul beasts anymore, we don't need to bother with people either."

Brigitte smiled gently.

"At least the number of young soul beasts that survive is much greater than in the past."

Di Tian nodded.

In recent years, the number of newborn soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest has increased significantly.

After a long period of hunting down high-level soul beasts by soul masters, the soul beast ecosystem has been in a state of decline.

As the forest loses its largest external source of hunters—human Soul Masters—it is gradually recovering.

The far north and the ocean have also changed.

Humans and spirit beasts cannot become friends overnight.

At least, they are no longer natural enemies.

Ten years later.

The Douluo Federal Republic has been completely stabilized.

The Soul-Guided Railway, spanning the continent, connects the major cities of the three empires.

Soul-guided technology from the Sun and Moon Continent rapidly spread.

The Soul Master Refinement System, accumulated over thousands of years by Tian Dou and Xing Luo, has also begun to merge with Soul Guidance Technology.

For the first time, ordinary people possessed a large number of usable civilian soul tools.

Agricultural output increased.

Traffic speed has increased.

The medical system is gradually being improved.

Basic colleges have also been established in remote villages.

Although the Soul Master class in Zengjing still possesses great power, they are no longer naturally above the law.

Crime still exists throughout the continent.

The gap between the rich and the poor still exists.

There are still people vying for power and profit.

Tang Chuan never imagined that a divine decree could turn everyone into saints.

What he truly established was a set of rules that, as far as possible, ensured ordinary people had a basic standard of survival, restrained the strong, and gave the weak opportunities for advancement.

That's enough.

But as time goes by...

Giant statues gradually appeared throughout the Douluo Continent.

The earliest statue was erected in Tiandou City.

It was a statue of a young man that was 100 meters tall.

The young man held the trident of Poseidon in his right hand.

He held the Asura Demon Sword in his left hand.

Beneath one's feet, countless silver grasses grow.

There are no titles such as "Great God-King" or "Great Continent" engraved on the base of the statue.

There is only one very simple line of text.

"Tang Chuan."

"Enforcers of the Divine Realm"

"The founder of the new era of Douluo Continent."

later.

A city was also built in Xingluo City.

The old capital of the sun and moon, the Ming capital, was built.

A Poseidon Island was built.

Another one appeared on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Even in some remote villages, a small, unrefined stone statue will be erected in the center of the square.

Some people believe he is the god of the sea.

Some people revered him as the god Haoluo.

The soul beasts, on the other hand, remembered that it was he who restarted the path for them to become gods.

What ordinary people remember is even simpler.

It was the divine gift of soul rings that allowed them to avoid risking their lives to enter the Soul Beast Forest.

It was the federal colleges that made books available to their children.

The new laws prevented nobles from arbitrarily deciding the life and death of ordinary people.

The new system also gave orphans, the elderly, and ordinary people without soul power their own place for the first time.

Holy Soul Village.

The poor and dilapidated village of yesteryear has undergone tremendous changes.

A wide road has been built at the entrance of the village.

The old wooden houses have been transformed into neat rows of new houses.

A basic college was built in the center of the village.

At the entrance of the academy, there also stands a statue of Tang Chuan.

Several children who had just completed their martial spirit awakening gathered around the statue.

One of the children looked up and asked curiously, "Teacher, is he really from our Holy Soul Village too?"

The elderly teacher standing to the side smiled.

"certainly."

"Back then, the roads here weren't as good as they are now."

"There is no academy either."

"There is no such thing as a divinely bestowed soul ring."

The child then asked, "Then why is he so good?"

The veteran teacher thought for a moment.

In the end, he simply reached out and patted the child's head.

"Because he had seen firsthand how unfair the world was."

"So when he possessed the power to change the world."

"He really did change."

A gentle breeze was blowing.

At the foot of the statue.

Large swathes of blue silver grass swayed gently.

Sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on the stone statue.

Meanwhile, in the distant realm of gods, Tang Chuan stood atop the highest point of the Haoluo Temple, looking down at the Douluo Continent, which was gradually moving towards a new order.

He wasn't particularly excited by the sight of his statues appearing all over the continent.

Instead, he felt somewhat helpless.

"These guys—"

"Why are you erecting my statue everywhere?"

Behind him, Dugu Bo's voice came.

"Isn't this good enough?"

"Others want the whole continent to erect a statue of him, but they don't have that qualification yet."

Tang Chuan turned around.

"The statue will fall one day."

"Names will eventually be forgotten."

Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow.

"Then what's the point of going to all this trouble to change the mainland?"

Tang Chuan looked back at Douluo Continent.

After Xu Ken finished speaking, he smiled faintly.

"I never intended for them to remember me forever."

"As long as one day they are used to their children having access to education, their elderly being cared for, ordinary people not being born inferior, and spirit beasts no longer having to be hunted for so long just to become spirit rings—"

"By that time."

"So what if they've forgotten who I am?"

The winds of the divine realm blew by.

The Silver God Tree behind Tang Chuan swayed gently.

Countless golden oath fragments rustled softly.

An old era has finally come to a complete end.

And a new era begins for the Douluo Continent.

just began.
