Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, I will never die in a battlefield.

Chapter 335 The So-Called Orthodoxy, Changes on the Continent

Is the path to salvation found within it?

Kong Deming paused slightly, instinctively wanting to open it to see what was recorded inside, but just as he was about to open it, Huo Yuhao's voice rang out again from below:

"I suggest you take it back and read it."

Kong Deming's hand paused slightly. After a brief hesitation, he grasped the scroll in his hand, then bowed slightly and asked:

"Elder Yu, may I ask if you can sense the location of that life alloy?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianran's expression changed slightly, and his gaze unconsciously turned to Kong Deming.

Huo Yuhao glanced at Xu Tianran, then at Kong Deming, chuckled softly, and then spoke:

"I have no interest in getting involved in the internal affairs of your Sun Moon Empire."

Having said that, without waiting for the reactions of the crowd, he turned and stepped into the spatial portal with the other five high-ranking undead he had brought to maintain appearances.

Without anyone stopping them, Huo Yuhao and the others simply disappeared.

Watching Huo Yuhao and the others leave, Xu Tianran breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The pressure from the six Limit Douluos was truly terrifying. It wasn't a matter of being afraid, but rather that one's body would instinctively feel fear.

After a slight pause, Xu Tianran looked at Kong Deming:

"Lord Kong, is it that I have done something wrong?"

"No, Your Majesty is well. I just wanted to ask a question."

Kong Deming said calmly, turned around, and slightly cupped his hands in greeting. His tone was composed: "I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

Having said that, without waiting for Xu Tianran's reaction, he took Ye Yulin and left the palace.

Kong Deming's attitude silenced Xu Tianran once again. He simply couldn't fathom the true thoughts of this pillar of the nation.

To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, the only option was for the emperor to die.

……

……

Using the spatial portal to return to the Star Luo front, Kong Deming, who had just stepped out of the portal, suddenly paused. After a brief silence, he took out the scroll that someone had thrown to him earlier and slowly opened it.

However, after reading only the beginning, Kong Deming's expression changed slightly, and he unconsciously murmured:

"A constitutional monarchy?"

……

……

The so-called "constitutional monarchy" is a system that Huo Yuhao discovered in his previous life when he was browsing through many histories of the lower realms in the God Realm Library.

Admittedly, constitutional monarchy has many problems, but it must be said that it is much better than the somewhat "primitive" system of the current Sun Moon Empire.

At the same time, this is still very suitable as a reference scheme, especially for the sun and moon today.

What Kong Deming longed for was the continuation of the Sun and Moon Orthodoxy and the prosperity of the Sun and Moon Empire.

The latter is almost certain to happen given that the Sun and Moon Empire has now completely unified the continent.

The former.

In Kong Deming's view, Xu Tianran's personality and methods would make him a perfect ruler in a chaotic world. However, now that Douluo Continent is unified, what Sun Moon needs now is a benevolent and peaceful ruler, and Xu Tianran is clearly not up to the task.

If the Sun Moon Empire were truly handed over to Xu Tianran, the future outcome could be predicted.

Kong Deming was already dissatisfied with Xu Tianran, but Xu Tianran, in order to ensure his own "uniqueness," slaughtered all the other royal bloodlines, leaving Kong Deming with no other choice.

No, there are other options, after all, Xu Tianzhen is still around. If all else fails, having one's students or Xu Tianzhen's children inherit the Sun Moon Empire is also an option.

However, this contradicts his original intention of "supporting the legitimate succession of the Sun and Moon." After all, although Xu Tianran's methods were somewhat cruel, he was undoubtedly the emperor's legitimate son and the crown prince! From an institutional perspective, he was undoubtedly the legitimate heir!

Inside the military tent, Kong Deming looked at the scroll in front of him that recorded many details of the "constitutional monarchy" system, and only two choices remained in his mind.

Is it the orthodox one, or should we try something different?

At this moment, the head of the Hall of Worship, who was second only to the emperor in the entire Sun Moon Empire, and the pillar of the Sun Moon Kingdom, fell into a state of confusion that had not been seen for a long time.

……

……

April of the first year of the Gregorian calendar.

Deeply saddened by the plight of the Star Luo Empire, and unwilling to see it continue in this state, the Spirit Pagoda, with the consent of the Star Luo people, represented the Star Luo Empire in negotiations with the Sun Moon Empire.

The signing of various terms during the negotiations, including but not limited to:

The Star Luo Empire surrendered, and its territory was incorporated into the Sun Moon Empire. At the same time, the Spirit Pagoda will share various soul guidance technologies with the Sun Moon Empire.

The Sun Moon Empire will cease its invasion of the Star Luo Empire and grant it the peace it desires.

All the terms, when taken together and slightly translated, can be summarized in one sentence:

"The Spirit Pagoda paid a heavy price for the people of Xingluo."

With deliberate dissemination, almost every citizen of the Star Luo Empire knew about this matter. In an instant, all the citizens of Star Luo praised it highly, and the prestige of the Spirit Pagoda was once again enhanced.

But that's not all.

In May of the first year of the Gregorian calendar, the Spirit Pagoda used its core technology, "artificial spirit rings," as leverage to demand the return of many talented students from the sects that the Sun Moon Empire had captured during the Soul Master Competition.

After some hesitation, Xu Tianran of the Sun Moon Empire agreed. In an instant, many sects and forces from the original Douluo Three Kingdoms were deeply grateful to the Spirit Pagoda.

After all, some sects were already facing a talent shortage, and sending teams to participate in the competition was already their limit. Who would have thought that they would be captured by the Sun Moon Empire?

Ultimately, they are sect forces, not behemoths like the Body Sect. They are no match for an imperial power like the Sun Moon Empire. Furthermore, with the Sun Moon Empire launching a war, many sect forces don't even dare to think about questioning them.

Now that the Spirit Pagoda has actually helped them find all their students, the various sects and forces are naturally extremely moved.

Some sects and forces even joined the Spirit Pagoda with all their belongings, determined to cling to its coattails.

As soon as this news came out, the reputation of the Spirit Pagoda soared again. In particular, the Spirit Pagoda had initially cultivated an image of caring for the common people, which led to its peak status in the hearts of the common people.

Shortly thereafter, in July of the first year of the Gregorian calendar, this situation began to spread among the common people of the Sun Moon Empire after the Sun Moon Empire allowed the Spirit Pagoda to establish branches in major cities of the Sun Moon Empire.

The Sun Moon Empire's leadership did not object in the slightest; instead, they announced that they would grant the Spirit Pagoda the status of a national guardian sect.

It was precisely this decision by the national protection sect that made the people of Sun and Moon completely let down their guard against the Spirit Pagoda and begin to accept its existence.

September of the first year of the Gregorian calendar.

The names of the Star Luo Empire, the Heavenly Soul Empire, and the Fighting Spirit Empire were completely abolished. Under the reorganization of the Sun and Moon Empire, the original three great empires of the Douluo Continent were divided into nine provinces, under the jurisdiction of the Sun and Moon Empire.

In the same month, the Sun Moon Empire's army completely withdrew from the former Star Luo Empire, now the territory of the four provinces of Star Luo, and returned to the capital.
