Douluo Continent: The Angel of the Dead, starting by slaying Bibi Dong!

Chapter Eighteen: The Wise Master of Martial Souls!

Centered on Wuhun City and the continent, the voices of Qian Renxue and Qian Xunling spread rapidly.

The kingdoms closest to Wuhun City are Sylvester Kingdom, Barak Kingdom, Heaven Dou Empire, and Star Luo Empire.

"The two great empires are ruthless, exploiting the common people of the continent..."

The farmers who were tilling the land looked up.

Hearing the sudden sound from the sky, he looked up in a daze.

Vendors, master hunters, deliverymen who hold goods for sale...

"The common people have no hope of advancement. They are exploited by the two great empires and forced to pay to awaken their martial spirits..."

The village chief of a remote village burst into tears upon hearing this voice.

"The Spirit Hall! The Spirit Hall! It's the Spirit Hall! The Spirit Hall hasn't abandoned us!"

"It's been almost a year, almost a year, and not a single one of the dozen or so children in the village has awakened their martial spirit."

"Paying to awaken a martial soul? But where would our village get the money? They are the hope of our village, the seeds to become soul masters, but..."

"But we have no money! The days of ordinary people rising up are over. We can only toil forever in the dirt for sustenance. But this shouldn't be happening! This shouldn't be happening!"

Inside the village, a dozen or so children, all six years old, were gathered together, their eyes filled with helplessness.

The village chief and my parents said that as long as they awaken their martial spirit and possess soul power, they can have a bright future and become soul masters.

But, but the two great empires drove out the Spirit Hall. Awakening a spirit requires payment, and they don't have the money... Without money, they can't awaken their spirits.

The child's father clenched his fists, and tears streamed uncontrollably down his face.

His martial spirit lacked soul power, and he didn't want his son to end up like him, spending his entire life in this village as a farmer.

"Since no one in the world will stand up for you, then today our Spirit Hall will stand up for you!"

"Effectually, I, Pope Qian Renxue of the Spirit Hall, hereby declare the Spirit Hall to have officially established the Spirit Empire!!!"

The sounds from the sky continued.

The man gripped the hoe tightly, his eyes blurred with tears, but his resolve gradually hardened.

"The two great empires must perish, a new nation must rise!"

"Though our efforts are made in the present, our achievements will last for generations!"

"When everyone else makes you kneel, my Spirit Empire will make you stand up!"

"From this day forward, I, Qian Xunling, assume the title of Emperor of the Martial Soul Empire, embarking on campaigns to the east and north, and calling upon all under heaven... to unify the continent and bring prosperity to all people!"

···

Every corner of the mainland, every ordinary person looked up.

Their eyes reddened, tears welled up, and their minds involuntarily recalled the empire's taxes, the oppression of the nobles, and the lofty imperial soul masters.

They've lived their whole lives like this, and they don't want their children to end up like them, just ordinary people in this world.

However, their chances of success are gone; their children have no opportunity.

They still have a chance, but what about their children?

They won't even have a chance; all that awaits them is endless exploitation and oppression.

"Though our lives are short, our achievements will last for generations..."

A sentence from Qian Xunling involuntarily echoed in my mind.

Age is here, isn't it right now?

Their achievements will last for generations. As long as they succeed, their descendants for generations to come will not have to suffer like they did.

Across the continent, elderly men dressed in the attire of the Spirit Hall suddenly appeared.

"The Blue Heaven is dead; the Yellow Heaven shall rise!"

"In the year of Jiazi, great fortune will sweep the land!"

"The days of ordinary people rising up are gone. The world shouldn't be like this. Now, the Spirit Hall is giving you a chance to stand up. If you want to stand up and live with dignity, follow me!!!"

The three sentences spread across the continent like a virus, plunging it into chaos. Elders led groups of people, centered around villages, to surround the cities of the two great empires.

One person becomes ten people, ten people become one hundred people, one hundred people become one thousand people, one thousand people become ten thousand people.

In the blink of an eye, people from hundreds of places across the mainland swept across the world like a torrent.

Star Luo Empire.

"It's terrible! Your Majesty! They've rebelled! Those unruly people have rebelled!!!"

"Many Spirit Hall Soul Masters have appeared throughout the Star Luo Empire, proclaiming that the heavens are dead and a new heaven shall rise..."

Bang!

Emperor Xingluo slammed his hand on the imperial desk, his face full of disbelief.

"How is that possible? How is that possible? A mere group of ordinary people, how could they possibly cause any waves?"

"Suppress! Send the army to suppress this!!!"

Heavenly Dou Empire.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The commoners have rebelled! Hundreds of thousands of civilians have gathered in dozens of cities across the Heavenly Dou Empire, and they have surrounded the major cities of our Heavenly Dou Empire!"

On the throne, Emperor Xueye stumbled.

"This...this is impossible!"

"Hundreds of thousands of people? Where did these hundreds of thousands of people come from?"

"Investigate! Investigate for me! Who exactly started this rebellion in my Heavenly Dou Empire!"

Wuhun City

The enormous palace was built in an instant.

Qian Renxue looked at Qian Xunling with some worry.

"Second Uncle, is this really okay?"

Qian Xunling sat on the throne, a smile playing on her lips.

"If they don't want to be subservient to others for the rest of their lives, and be oppressed by the two great empires and nobles for generations to come... they won't remain indifferent."

"Don't worry, even if no one follows the Spirit Empire, your second uncle has enough manpower to defeat both empires."

Chihiro's tone was filled with unparalleled confidence.

Even if there isn't enough troops, doesn't the Netherworld still have a large army of undead?

That was an army of undead, a million strong, absolutely loyal to him.

An army of undead that is neither dead nor indestructible.

Those slogans were merely a ploy to throw the two great empires into chaos so that they could better unify the continent.

Even if they don't join the Spirit Empire, they can't change the landscape of the continent.

Whoosh!

Golden Crocodile Douluo instantly appeared in the main hall of the Spirit Empire, his face filled with excitement.

"He's here! His Majesty has arrived!"

"Hundreds of thousands of people are rapidly heading towards my Martial Soul City from the border of the Star Luo Empire."

A sharp cry from an eagle suddenly pierced the sky.

"Your Majesty, hundreds of thousands of people from the Heaven Dou Empire have crossed the border and are following in the footsteps of my Martial Soul Empire!"

Qian Renxue looked up in surprise.

"Really... so many people came?"

What Qian Renxue didn't know was that the continent was already in chaos. The two great empires, various kingdoms, and even the worst duchies had begun to revolt in various places, with even the worst rebel armies numbering in the tens of thousands.

In just five days, nearly a million people from all over the country followed in the footsteps of the Martial Soul Empire.

The Martial Soul Empire's military strength has exceeded one million.

What's terrifying is that the chaos between the two empires has not subsided, and there are still millions of rebels in cities across the country.

Star Luo Empire

Bang~!

Emperor Xingluo angrily threw the battle report in his hand to the ground.

"Tell me, tell me how the Martial Soul Rebellion Army managed to gather an army of 500,000 in my Star Luo Empire in such a short time!"

"We suppressed a rebellion of 100,000 near Xingluo City, and there are still five more of 100,000 in various places, and several more of tens of thousands..."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty can't kill them all, you can't kill them all. You can't kill all these lowly people. As soon as you kill one batch, another batch will appear."

Zhu Ke, the Prime Minister of the Star Luo Empire, slowly stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, I believe these unruly people haven't starved yet. As long as we guard the granaries in each city and starve them for a few days, they will return to their respective households. Without food and supplies, they will not risk their lives for the Martial Soul Empire."

Seven days later.

Heaven Dou Empire

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

"That group of rebels can't be killed off, they can't be killed off. We just suppressed 100,000 in the east, and another 100,000 will pop up in the west..."

"Moreover, they spread the word that the Martial Soul Master can turn beans into soldiers, heal the wounded, cure all diseases, and provide countless provisions. In just over ten days, he has already rallied a million-strong rebel army in my Heavenly Dou Empire!"

"Martial Soul Master!!!"
