Douluo's Bone Transforms into a Divine Dragon

Chapter 288 Unification of the Continent, Nation Named Sun and Moon

During the month, Gu Xuan spent his time refining pills with Yang Wudi and getting to know the girls better.

Of course, the search for Ning Rongrong's soul bone was not neglected, but Gu Xuan himself did not go to find it.

Ning Rongrong now possesses a left arm bone. Although a month is a short time, with the current power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, they have found three suitable soul bones for Ning Rongrong.

The three soul bones are the right arm bone, the left leg bone, and the skull, and they are all gemstone-type soul bones, which are basically a perfect match for Ning Rongrong.

The skull is a treasure of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and this soul bone was originally prepared by Ning Fengzhi for Ning Rongrong. Ning Fengzhi kept this skull so that Ning Rongrong could absorb it when she encountered a bottleneck and help her break through it.

Ning Rongrong leveled up too quickly and didn't use it at all; she's already almost level 90.

The other two soul bones were collected from within the Heaven Dou Empire, costing a total of ten million gold soul coins.

In fact, the value of these two soul bones far exceeds ten million gold soul coins, but because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is currently very powerful, the other party took out the soul bones in order to befriend the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, so they only accepted gold soul coins.

This is the advantage of having a powerful force; although there may be some transactions involving interests, it is indeed much more convenient.

Now that Ning Rongrong has absorbed three soul bones and has been training hard for a month, she has broken through to level ninety. She only needs to obtain a ninth soul ring to complete half of the eighth test.

Ning Rongrong only needs to find suitable torso bones and right leg bones to complete the eighth test.

These last two soul bones may seem easy, but they are actually quite difficult to obtain, because soul bones are not as common as cabbages, where someone will sell them whenever you need them.

Fortunately, Ning Rongrong's eighth test has a three-year time limit, giving her enough time to find the soul bone, so there's no need to worry too much.

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and the army of the Heavenly Dou Empire had been fully assembled and officially launched its conquest of the Star Luo Empire.

On the eve of the conquest, Gu Xuan, as regent, sent a letter of surrender to the Star Luo Empire, with the aim of subduing the enemy without a fight.

However, the situation in the Star Luo Empire has changed slightly. The struggle between the Third Prince Dai Mubai and the First Prince Dai Weisi has reached a fever pitch. The appearance of Bibi Dong and Tang San has given Dai Mubai confidence and hope.

Faced with the invasion of the Heavenly Dou Empire, the two brothers decisively chose to temporarily cease hostilities and unite against the common enemy.

Just as they were preparing to assemble their army, the Heavenly Dou Empire's army moved.

It was only at this moment that the Star Luo Emperor realized that the movement of the Heaven Dou Empire's army before this was not an internal war, but rather a long-planned campaign to conquer the Star Luo Empire.

In fact, it was impossible for the Star Luo Empire not to notice the sudden gathering of a million-strong army like the Heaven Dou Empire; it was just that Gu Xuan used some minor tricks.

The kingdoms and duchies within the empire are now under the control of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but the news has not yet reached the Star Luo Empire.

Therefore, when the army was assembled, they all used the banner of rebellion or suppression. Although the Star Luo Empire had many spies, none of them knew the core secret.

Therefore, by the time the army was fully assembled and Gu Xuan sent out a letter urging surrender, the Star Luo Empire was already a step too late to react.

Moreover, the Star Luo Empire has already depleted some of its strength due to the struggle between the two princes. Although this depletion will not affect the overall strength of the Star Luo Empire, it is a significant blow to the two princes.

Although the two princes temporarily joined forces and organized a counterattack under the command of the Star Luo Emperor, their speed was still slow.

On the third day after the Star Luo Emperor received the letter of surrender, the Heaven Dou Empire's army had already pressed on the border in full force. Just as they were organizing their men to counterattack, pairs of hunting teams led by Title Douluo and composed of Soul Douluo as soldiers directly annihilated the Star Luo Empire's generals and commanders.

Then, led by nine titled Douluo, the army swept through the territory of the Star Luo Empire as if it were uninhabited.

After conquering a city, the Heavenly Dou Empire's forces would quickly occupy it and then launch another attack, using the war to sustain their own war effort.

Another reason why the Heavenly Dou Army moved so quickly was that they didn't worry about food supplies at all; their battle plan was to sustain themselves through war.

Although doing so would consume most of the food and supplies of the cities within Xingluo, they did not harm the civilians, so the impact was not significant.

In just one month, Xingluo Imperial City was surrounded. Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo, Zuo Yi, Mi He, and Long Wu had surrounded the imperial city, and their army followed closely behind.

With the addition of the army led by Dugu Bo, a total of fifteen Title Douluos went to attack, while the two Super Douluos, Sword Bone Douluo, Ning Fengzhi, Yang Wudi, Youming Luo, and others did not participate. The Star Luo Empire had already completely fallen.

As the regent, Gu Xuan also arrived outside the Star Luo Imperial City. The Star Luo Empire was now completely powerless to resist.

The Star Luo Royal Family has a total of three Title Douluos, and apart from that, they have no other high-level combat power.

Fifteen against three, it's a crushing defeat no matter how you play.

What Gu Xuan didn't know was that Bibi Dong and Tang San, who had come to the Star Luo Empire to gradually conquer it, had already fled when the army invaded.

Because there was no prior information about Bibi Dong and the others, Gu Xuan was still unaware of the situation and did not suspect Bibi Dong at all, which allowed them to escape the encirclement ahead of time.

When Bibi Dong left, she took Hu Liena, Tang San, and Dai Mubai with her. Moreover, it took a full week for the Star Luo Emperor to discover their escape. Given how secretive they were, it was even more impossible for Gu Xuan to know about it.

The Star Luo Emperor was very disappointed with his runaway son, Dai Mubai, but this was not necessarily a bad thing. At least Dai Mubai had escaped, which preserved the last bloodline of the Star Luo Empire.

After the army pressed in, the Star Luo Emperor did not choose to surrender, but instead fought to the death. In the end, Gu Xuan stepped forward and single-handedly took on three Title Douluos of the Star Luo royal family, ending the Star Luo Empire's imperial power.

Thus, the great war that should have been earth-shattering came to an end. The two great empires were unified and all were placed under the jurisdiction of the Heaven Dou Empire. Because of this achievement, Regent Gu Xuan had surpassed the capabilities of all the empires in the history of Douluo Continent, demonstrating his abilities.

After the great war ended, the army began to quickly collect the spoils of war within the Star Luo Empire and then distribute them to the national treasury.

Three months later, Gu Xuan's achievements spread to every corner of the continent. All the groundwork laid before began to take effect. On this day, after Gu Xuan unified the two countries, he established a unique empire, proclaimed himself emperor, and founded the Sun and Moon Empire, with the title of Ming.

The meaning is that "all the mountains and rivers illuminated by the sun and moon belong to the Ming Dynasty".

The capital was originally Tian Dou City of the Tian Dou Empire, because Sunset Forest was right next to Tian Dou City. However, Tian Dou City has long since begun to be rebuilt, and its area and scale have been expanded three times. One-third of Sunset Forest has been incorporated into the new capital, which is Mingdu.

In fact, Gu Xuan's country name and empire name were borrowed from the Sun and Moon Empire ten thousand years later in the original work, but not entirely, because Gu Xuan's favorite thing in his previous life was the Ming Dynasty, and now that he has become emperor, he can use it.

Because both "Sun and Moon" and "Great Ming" align with Gu Xuan's inner thoughts, and since there are no copyright fees to pay, the name was finalized after discussions among Ning Fengzhi and others.

However, Douluo Continent does not have Mount Tai, nor does it have the various processes of locking up like in Gu Xuan's previous life. It simply drafted a proclamation and ascended the throne at the newly built Heaven and Earth Platform outside Mingdu City!

Today, the sky is cloudless and clear. Countless people have gathered outside the city for the commencement of Gu Xuan's enthronement ceremony!

As the procedures were completed, Gu Xuan stood in the center of the Heaven and Earth Platform and loudly proclaimed:

"Heavenly Emperor, Earthly Deity. The late Emperor has suddenly passed away. All officials, both civil and military, elders and commoners, have jointly urged me to ascend the throne, but I have refused three times. However, the country has just been unified, and the people are in turmoil. To restore order and peace to the people, and considering that the Mandate of Heaven cannot be refused, and that the officials cannot be without a leader, I, your humble servant, acting in accordance with the Way of Heaven and the wishes of the people, and remembering the grace of three generations of emperors, now proclaim to Heaven and Earth, offer sacrifices to our ancestors, and ascend the throne!"

(This is a quote from the TV series "The Bad Guys," which the author found very evocative and relevant to Gu Xuan's current situation, so it has been slightly modified for this purpose.)

After going through a series of procedures, Gu Xuan finally ascended to the throne as the Sun and Moon Emperor, establishing the Great Ming Dynasty and unifying the Douluo Continent.

P.S.: Typos will be corrected first and then fixed later.

No filler words, fast forward.
