Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 424 Reaching a Consensus

Ji Lin knew what Xu Jiawei was worried about, and he shook his head, saying, "Brother, do you think the Sun Moon Empire has a chance now?"

Xu Jiawei pondered for a moment and said, "Although the Sun Moon Empire is strong, it would probably be very difficult for it to sweep across the Three Kingdoms and unify the Douluo Continent, wouldn't it?"

His tone was hesitant and somewhat lacking in confidence. The Sun Moon Empire was simply too strong now. With its cooperation with the Holy Spirit Church, the Sun Moon Empire had made up for its lack of high-end combat power. Coupled with its terrifying Soul Master Corps and Soul Guidance Devices, no other force could rival the Sun Moon Empire.

Ji Lin smiled and said, "As far as I know, the Sun Moon Empire currently has at least three Limit Douluo-level fighters."

The reason I say "at least" is that Ji Lin doesn't know if the Demon Emperor, who previously stirred up a bloodbath in the sea, has colluded with the Holy Spirit Cult.

Xu Jiawei could no longer remain calm and shook his head resolutely, saying, "Impossible! How could it be? Even Shrek Academy, with its ten-thousand-year history, lost a Limit Douluo after the fall of Dragon God Douluo. How could the Sun Moon Empire possibly have three Limit Douluos? Even if you include the Dragon Emperor Douluo of the Holy Spirit Cult, that's only one! One Limit Douluo is already enough to make countries sleepless, let alone three!"

Xu Jiujiu also looked at Ji Lin in shock. Although she believed that Ji Lin would not speak carelessly, this was too unbelievable.

Ji Lin smiled and said, "Teacher Chi Yuan went to the Mingdu of the Sun Moon Empire with me this time. She knows exactly how many powerful figures are hidden in the Mingdu."

Because of Ji Lin's words, Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu both fell silent. If this was information that Chi Yuan had discovered, then it was probably true.

According to existing intelligence, the Holy Spirit Cult has quite a few Title Douluos and Super Douluos. Coupled with the extraordinary combat power of the Evil Soul Masters, the high-end combat power of the Sun Moon Empire can already suppress the original Douluo Continent. As for the Sun Moon Empire's soul tools, fighting against the current original Douluo Three Kingdoms is like a father beating his son.

They are at a disadvantage in terms of high-end Soul Master combat power, and their military strength is not on the same level. Xu Jiawei can't think of a way to break the deadlock unless Ji Lin's current plan can produce results in a short time, but that's impossible. First, there might not be enough time, as the Sun Moon Empire won't wait too long. Second, Ji Lin now has his own ideas.

Xu Jiawei, having been emperor for many years, was knowledgeable and experienced, and he had some guesses about Ji Lin's thoughts.

He hesitated and said, "You want to use the Sun Moon Empire to deal with those sects and families, and then come out to turn the tide and take the opportunity to unify the Douluo Continent."

Ji Lin nodded and said, "As expected of my elder brother, you saw through my thoughts so quickly."

Ji Lin's idea wasn't particularly brilliant. To achieve this, one needed sufficient strength, at least enough to suppress the Sun Moon Empire. To put it bluntly, it was still the same old "brute force" approach.

When Ji Lin bared his fangs, many intelligent people would have realized this.

The simple and brutal method of using someone else to do one's dirty work, eliminating dissidents, and then stepping forward to seize the spoils, eliminates potential enemies while preserving one's own strength. It can be described as the behavior of a true shrew.

The premise is that they are not regarded as the main enemy by the Sun Moon Empire. Ji Lin did a good job in this regard. He never thought of revealing all his trump cards. Whether it was Chi Yuan or the things he was developing, he kept them hidden. Those who knew this were all trustworthy people or people with similar interests. After all, only interests are eternal.

Xu Jiawei fell silent again, deep in thought.

Ji Lin and Xu Jiujiu did not disturb him, silently waiting for his reply.

In terms of high-end combat power, there is Chi Yuan and their Star Crown Sect. If there are a few more years, Ji Lin himself will also be a high-end combat power, and even the disciples of the Zizai Sect can be considered high-end combat power. In addition, there are the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, which is also a force that can be won over and utilized.

He also knew that Ji Lin had plans within Shrek Academy, and together with the Red Dust Family of the Sun Moon Empire, their high-end combat power was no less than that of the Sun Moon Empire.

Regarding soul tools, Ji Lin is currently developing something that, once successful, will eliminate any fear of the Sun Moon Empire's soul tools and at least allow them to be on par.

Thinking about it this way, as long as luck isn't too bad, there really is a chance to unify the Douluo Continent.

Sitting on the sidelines watching the tigers fight while the fisherman reaps the benefits—this kind of thing happens all the time, so why can't it be their turn?

Ten thousand years ago, the Spirit Hall failed because they encountered the Sea God Tang San blocking their path. However, in this era, Xu Jiawei does not believe that anyone other than Ji Lin can become a god. In other words, they do not need to worry about the Sea God Tang San jumping out halfway to disrupt things, just like the Spirit Hall did ten thousand years ago.

Thinking of this, Xu Jiawei looked up at Ji Lin, his eyes burning, and said, "Your goal shouldn't just be to unify the Douluo Continent and become an emperor for all time, right?"

Ji Lin replied without hesitation, "Of course, my goal is to become a god and establish an empire that unifies the Douluo Continent. That's just a small goal before I become a god."

Xu Jiawei smiled and said, "I knew it. With your talent, you can't stop at Douluo Continent, and your vision shouldn't be limited to Douluo Continent."

Xu Jiawei had been persuaded. He was already troubled by the lack of a successor and had thought about returning the throne to Duke Baihu, relieving himself of the burden, and continuing to remain behind the scenes, just like his ancestors thousands of years ago, silently accumulating strength until he returned to his peak.

But Ji Lin brought him a new option: help Ji Lin unify the Douluo Continent. Given Ji Lin's relationship with them, it was impossible for him to mistreat the Star Crown Sect.

Furthermore, Ji Lin and Xu Jiujiu's child will be the heir to this new empire, which is a million times better than inheriting the Star Luo Empire.

He never really understood Ji Lin, nor did he know how Ji Lin had grown to this point. Although Ji Lin had the help of the Star Crown Sect, the Star Crown Sect's help was only useful in the early stages of Ji Lin's development, and also during the Snow Emperor's embryonic stage.

Later, Ji Lin took out the holy marks and other things, but he didn't know where Ji Lin got them from. As time went by, Ji Lin became more and more mysterious, and he couldn't understand him anymore. He could only guess that they might be related to the gods.

Xu Jiawei, with his limited knowledge, could only think of this much.

Therefore, Xu Jiawei made up his mind that instead of stubbornly defending the Star Luo Empire, he should lead the Star Luo Empire to merge into the new empire created by Ji Lin. As for the opposition, he believed that the Sun Moon Empire would help them deal with it.

"Okay, I will fully support you and cooperate with your plan from now on."

Having made the decision, Xu Jiawei did not hesitate any longer and immediately followed up.

Ji Lin smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. It was best that Xu Jiawei and Ji Lin reached a consensus, and she no longer needed to be in a difficult position.

Although Ji Lin was confident in persuading Xu Jiawei, he was still a little worried until everything was settled. Now he was finally relieved. Xu Jiawei was willing to compromise and choose to support him, so Xu Jiujiu would not be caught in a dilemma.

"However, I have one more condition."

Xu Jiawei added another sentence.

Ji Lin smiled and said, "Please speak, Your Majesty. As long as it's within my power."

"Don't worry, you can definitely do it."

Xu Jiawei said meaningfully.

"Oh! I'd like to hear more about it."

Ji Lin was also a little curious about what conditions Xu Jiawei had.

Xu Jiawei glanced at Xu Jiujiu, who was equally curious, and said with a smile, "That is, you have to get Jiujiu pregnant with your child as soon as possible to continue the bloodline of my Xu family. It would be best if it were a boy so that he could inherit the empire you have built in the future."

"Brother!"

Xu Jiujiu's pretty face turned red; she never expected Xu Jiawei to pull such a stunt.

Ji Lin was taken aback, then smiled and said, "I can indeed do this, but it may take some time, and Sister Jiu Jiu will have to cooperate with me. If it's not a boy, she'll have to have a few more children."

After a long while, he stared at Ji Lin in disbelief. "What do you mean by having more children? Bah! No, Xiao Lin, you..."

"Hahaha! Alright, the rest of the time is up to you guys. Good luck! Let me hold my nephew soon."

Xu Jiawei left with a big laugh. He was serious; he genuinely hoped that Xu Jiujiu would conceive Ji Lin's child as soon as possible, preferably a boy. Ji Lin had many women, and if Xu Jiujiu didn't work harder, the one who would inherit the new empire in the future might not necessarily be her child.

Looking at Xu Jiujiu's flushed cheeks, Ji Lin's index finger twitched, and he said meaningfully, "Sister Jiujiu, what the Emperor said is right, you have to work harder. Or, shall we start now?"

Xu Jiujiu was startled and, like a frightened fawn, distanced herself from Ji Lin, exclaiming in panic, "No, it's daytime now!"

Ji Lin moved swiftly, instantly appearing behind Xu Jiujiu. He swept the princess up in his arms, grinning mischievously, "Isn't it more exciting during the day? Doesn't Sister Jiujiu like it?"

After a long struggle, she said shyly, "No, how about we do it tonight?"

Ji Lin pressed his lips hard against those bright red lips, and after a long while, the words he was about to say were forcibly swallowed back.

When Ji Lin noticed that Jiu Jiu was starting to struggle and was breathing rapidly, he released the princess's red lips. Looking at Princess Jiu Jiu panting in his arms, Ji Lin licked his lips and said, "I think daytime is fine. We don't need to wait until night."

Xu Jiujiu panicked and hurriedly said, "No, at least, at least go to my room, not here."

Xu Jiujiu was genuinely afraid that Ji Lin wouldn't be able to resist and would take her right there in the palace.

Although it's shameful to do it during the day, it's still better than doing it in this palace. What if someone discovers the traces I leave behind? That would be too embarrassing.

In order to prevent Ji Lin from harming her in the palace, Xu Jiujiu had no choice but to agree to Ji Lin's request to do "that" during the day.

Ji Lin certainly wouldn't lay a hand on Xu Jiujiu in this palace; he did it on purpose, just to make Xu Jiujiu back down and agree to his demands.

Ultimately, as he wished, Xu Jiujiu preferred being in her own room, even though it was daytime, to being in the palace.
