The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 367 You've really put me in a terrible situation!

"You've already tried, so don't even think about running away."

Li Xun's voice, transmitted through his spiritual and soul power, reached the ears of everyone present.

The sound seemed to reach straight into the brain, waking even those who were still asleep.

When tens of thousands of people saw the Buddha, they were initially panicked, but were calmed down after Li Xun's earnest persuasion.

One by one, filled with awe, some kneeling on one knee, some looking up, some bowing their heads, they quietly awaited their fate.

The scene quieted down.

The Buddha's palms cradled Li Xun as he slowly descended to the ground, stopping ten meters above it.

"I am not a bloodthirsty person. As long as you do not infringe upon my interests, I can guarantee your safety."

Upon hearing this, many people were overjoyed, and their solemn expressions gradually relaxed: "Thank you, sir, for giving us a way out."

Compliments, whether genuine or not, kept escaping his lips.

Tens of thousands of people were mostly different.

"However, this opportunity is only available once. If we meet again on the battlefield, I may not be so accommodating."

After the commotion of tens of thousands of people subsided, Li Xun said coldly.

This startled many people, who immediately began to whisper among themselves.

Li Xun did not stop him, but stood on the high ground and waited quietly.

After a long while, someone finally seemed to remember something, swallowed hard, and mustered up the courage to ask in a trembling voice, "Sir, you just said you encountered him on the battlefield. May I ask which country you are a titled expert from?"

"The Empire of the Sunfire"

Having gotten the question he wanted, Li Xun smiled, and his aura lessened considerably.

Conquering the Sun and Moon Continent is easy, but gaining people's faith is difficult.

Faith is not just lip service, but a heartfelt reverence and awe.

Li Xun may not kill these tens of thousands of people today, but what happens today will leave a seed in their hearts.

As his deeds continue to be sung throughout this continent, whatever grows from this seed will surely yield something of value.

At the same time, Li Xun's many clones also began their own actions, launching continuous attacks alongside a group of powerful figures from the Sunfire Empire.

Thus began a full-scale war on the Sun and Moon Continent.

Three months later.

In the capital of the Sunfire Empire, a conference that would determine the fate of the continent was being held.

After three months of continuous warfare, the Sunfire Empire has almost conquered the entire continent. Of the original seven empires on the continent, only two remain, barely clinging to life.

All of this stemmed from Li Xun's involvement.

The Flying Thunder God Technique clone left behind only a group of soldiers sleeping soundly on the ground.

Although the other countries also had titles, they were utterly incapable of offering any resistance to Li Xun and Poseidon.

This led to the disastrous defeat of the other six nations in this all-out war.

The mission of the Sunfire Empire's army was merely to follow Li Xun, capture prisoners, and seize cities.

Each victory is met with cheers.

The public initially did not understand why the statue was erected some time ago, but after three months of aggressive expansion, most now understand.

God King Li Xun.

In no time, the name was being spread throughout the streets and alleys.

As time went on, the Sunfire Army gradually took control of cities in other countries, and the name and deeds of this army continued to spread.

At this time, the officials of the Sunfire Empire were working overtime to produce wood carvings, preparing to make a fortune.

Meanwhile, some small factories or ordinary carpenters are also using their own methods to produce goods in order to make a living.

Li Xun was aware of this and did not intend to stop it, nor did he allow the Riyan government to interfere too much.

Faith should be something that is both expensive and cheap.

If ordinary people can't even afford a simple wood carving, how can we talk about popularizing it?

The wooden carving in Li Xun's hands had long been taken away by some people with ulterior motives, who were going to travel to various places to spread the name of the god.

Until a temple belonging to Li Xun is built somewhere.

The spacious conference room was now filled with noise, a mixture of greetings, laughter, and various other languages.

Ye Yun and the others from the Nia Alliance were bowing their heads, waiting for something. Although they appeared unmoved by the mockery around them, their hearts were in turmoil.

too fast.

The Sunfire Empire was conquering other countries at an incredibly fast pace.

They had almost no time to react; by the time they received the news, three powerful figures from the three great empires had already been captured by Sunflare.

By the time they realized they needed to form an alliance against the Sunfire Empire, it was too late.

Given Li Xun and Poseidon's strength, they had no ability to resist and could only retreat and avoid their attacks.

But this was merely a prolongation of life, until there was no way to avoid it.

Not to mention that the soldiers of both countries had almost no desire to resist, the sheer number of titled powerhouses who joined the Sunfire after their defeats was enough to make them feel powerless.

Suddenly, the conference room door opened, and Li Xun, Poseidon, and Xu Ran slowly walked in.

The once noisy conference room fell silent instantly.

"Greetings, sirs."

Boom—

Almost simultaneously, everyone in the conference room stood up, the sound of chairs scraping against the floor was extremely jarring.

"Please sit down, don't be shy."

Li Xun smiled and nodded to everyone, then walked to the head of the meeting room and sat down, while Poseidon sat to his right.

Xu Ran sat to Li Xun's left.

However, he seemed a little uncomfortable at this moment, appearing somewhat restless and only daring to sit on half of his bottom.

Seeing the three take their seats, the other titled individuals slowly settled into their seats, afraid of causing any unnecessary commotion.

"Douluo Ye Yun, are you sure you sincerely want to merge with the Sun Flame Empire?" Li Xun turned his gaze to Ye Yun.

"Yes, sir, please grant the Nia Alliance and the Kingdom of Macon a way out."

Led by Ye Yun, the seven titled officials from the two empires quickly stood up.

This all-out war was not without casualties. Of the original twenty-four titled figures on the Sun and Moon Continent, only sixteen remain, not even counting the people from the Haotian Sect.

As the last group to surrender, they were very worried about being purged in the future.

"Ye Yun, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Xu Yunteng stood up abruptly, slammed his fist on the table, and roared, "When have you, my lord, ever committed indiscriminate killing? If those people hadn't been plotting revenge, how could they have ended up dead?"

"Even among ordinary soldiers, have you ever heard of any major casualties?"

"Please forgive me, sir, I misspoke."

Ye Yun immediately realized what was happening, and a fine layer of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead and back.

"It's okay, misunderstandings are normal. Things will clear up eventually."

The latest novel is first published here!

Li Xun waved his hand: "You all sit down and talk, there's no need to be so tense."

"Thank you, sir."

Everyone bowed and expressed their gratitude, then took their seats.

"It's a good thing that Nia and Macon have joined Sunflare. As a result, the two-hundred-year-long conflict on the Sun and Moon Continent will come to an end, and ordinary people and Soul Masters will finally have the peace they've been longing for."

Li Xun smiled as he scanned the surroundings.

"The great prosperity of this continent owes its greatest credit to you, sir," Xu Ran was the first to speak, and the others echoed his sentiments.

After everyone finished showering him with compliments, Xu Ran said, "My lord, now that the Sun and Moon Continent has been unified, I think it's time for me to abdicate."

"What does this mean?" Li Xun turned his head to look at Xu Ran.

"My lord, I've actually wanted to bring this up for a long time."

Facing Li Xun's gaze, Xu Ran smiled and said, "The unification of the Sun and Moon Continent actually has little to do with me personally."

"The Sunfire Empire was just lucky to have you two arrive at that time. If you hadn't come here, the result would have been the same if you had gone to another country."

"Xu Ran is self-aware and unwilling to steal your achievements in this position. I humbly request that you ascend the throne."

After speaking, Xu Ran stood up and bowed to Li Xun.

"Oh dear, what are you doing? How could I possibly be someone who covets your throne?" Li Xun quickly got up and helped Xu Ran up.

"Of course, the master doesn't have such thoughts in his mind, but Xu Ran is aware of his own abilities."

Feeling the strength of the arm supporting him and realizing that Li Xun's expression was genuine, Xu Ran smiled:

"It's fine for me to manage a small area, but now the territory is too big, and my strength and abilities are too weak to maintain the operation of such a huge empire."

"What's so difficult about that?"

Li Xun helped Xu Ran up and patted him on the shoulder: "With me and the High Priest behind you, I doubt anyone will dare to harbor any disloyal thoughts."

"Besides, we have to go back to Douluo Continent in a few days, so we don't have the mind to stay here."

"My lord, please do not refuse any longer. My position here would be illegitimate, and with your mastery of spatial abilities, traveling between the two continents would be a piece of cake."

After Xu Ran finished speaking, he turned around and looked at the assembled title holders.

"Xu Ran is right. If someone harbors disloyal intentions in the future and you don't focus your attention on this, it will be another disaster for the mainland."

Our aim in doing this is to keep your heart tied to this continent!

Wang Hongchen stood up, glanced at the individual titles, and sighed.

It wasn't that they truly wanted it to be this way, but rather that he and Xu Ran were well aware that Li Xun was very likely to become a god in the future.

"Yes, sir! Please don't refuse."

Forgetting the mortal world's words were like opening a floodgate, and everyone present began to echo them.

It was as if Li Xun's failure to ascend the throne would be a major loss for the Sun and Moon Continent.

Li Xun refused again, and seeing that he couldn't refuse any longer, he sighed, "You've really put me in a difficult position!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Seeing that Li Xun had agreed, everyone bowed repeatedly.

"I think that with Your Majesty's ascension to the throne and the unification of the Sun and Moon Continent, in order to celebrate this feat that has not been achieved for nearly a thousand years, the name of the Sun Flame Empire is no longer necessary."

Please, Your Majesty, change the name of the country.

"The name of the country?"

Li Xun was stumped and tapped his fingers.

Ultimately, they decided to retain some traces of this original world: "Since it is the only empire on the Sun and Moon Continent, let's call it the Sun and Moon Empire."

"Named after an entire continent, the Sun and Moon Empire. What a grand ambition!"

Upon hearing the meaning behind the name, everyone felt their hearts expand.

Next, the group discussed the future development and direction of the Sun Moon Empire.

In such times, people did have gods they worshipped, and there were quite a few of them. However, few religions formed on a large scale; most people simply believed in their own beliefs.

However, when everyone present learned that Li Xun had already inherited a divine position, their minds became more open.

After all, nothing is more reassuring than having a real god protecting you in the future.

Therefore, the group proposed that the sun and moon gradually transition from a monarchical empire to a theocratic empire.

However, after considering it for a while, Li Xun did not make a final decision immediately.

Five days later.

Li Xun ascended the throne, and the Sun and Moon Empire was established. For a time, the entire continent was immersed in this rare peace.

The name of God King Li Xun has become increasingly popular.

"Is this kid really that bold? Isn't he afraid of incurring the wrath of the gods?"

In a void within the divine realm, the Rakshasa God withdrew his gaze, somewhat surprised by Li Xun's audacity: "Gathering so many believers will surely make many others envious."
