The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 404 A Meeting Concerning the Future

With the news of Bibi Dong becoming a god spreading.

Soul Masters and troops scattered across various regions of the continent of the Martial Soul Empire gradually gathered back.

However, what puzzled these people was...

Not only Bibi Dong, they didn't even get to see a single high-ranking member of the Spirit Hall.

This situation immediately alerted those who were interested, who stopped in their tracks and looked around to see what was happening.

However, this also happens to confirm their conjecture.

Just a few days later, news spread throughout Wuhun City that Bibi Dong had perished.

Immediately afterwards, Qian Renxue walked to the front of the stage.

The announcement was made that the Martial Soul Empire would be merged into the Heaven Dou Empire.

This event immediately stunned the entire continent.

A god who hadn't appeared on the continent for tens of thousands of years had only been around for a few days before perishing?

Is God so fragile?

However, this surprise was only temporary.

When the people of the Spirit Empire and the Star Luo Empire realized what was going on, they became excited.

Which country on the mainland has the best quality of life right now?

That was undoubtedly the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Not only are ordinary citizens protected by law, but their quality of life is also unmatched by any other country.

If you add free early childhood education to that, the happiness index will definitely be maxed out.

To be honest, simply waiving the tuition fees for Soul Master Academy would save many families a lot of money.

After all, apart from academies like Shrek Academy that charge 100 gold soul coins a year, other academies, no matter how cheap, still cost around 5 to 10 gold soul coins a year.

Although there are work-study students, the number of places is limited.

How many gold soul coins can an ordinary person earn in a year?

The Heaven Dou Empire has now issued an official document stating that after the unification of the continent, the Martial Soul Empire and the Star Luo Empire will also implement the same policy.

The news spread quickly and was implemented swiftly.

In this world with underdeveloped communication, in just twenty days, the regions under the jurisdiction of the Star Luo Empire and the Martial Soul Empire changed their flags one after another.

As officials at all levels of the Heavenly Dou Empire move into these areas, various infrastructure projects will follow suit.

At this time, iconic buildings and figurines began to become popular, and beliefs and stories began to spread.

In just one month, the entire continent was a scene of prosperity and flourishing.

However, there's a saying that goes something like this.

The better you are, the more uncomfortable others will feel.

This includes Tang San and some gods in the divine realm.

Tang San was somewhat self-aware, understanding that his current strength was insufficient, so he could only lie low and seek an opportunity.

But the gods in the divine realm have no such scruples.

Faith is something that is inherently difficult to obtain.

As the mainland prospers, the interests of some deities are also greatly affected.

Humans are relatively rational and realistic creatures; they will not act unless they have seen tangible benefits or witnessed miracles firsthand.

In this era where power is inherent, who would believe in a god that is completely unknown?

Is it all for some so-called spiritual pillar? Don't be ridiculous, we need to eat.

At such times, in order to increase their own strength, competing for faith becomes a very important matter.

After all, the authority of each god is different; some build faith through killing, while others require people's evil intentions.

Some, however, require people's seven emotions and six desires.

Although a deity had approached Li Xun some time ago, the real breakthrough came when the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent began to make contact and trade.

Among them, the largest-scale bento box vendor is the Original Sin Cult.

The doctrine of this religion is to encourage people not to suppress their desires, to liberate their nature, and thus to rapidly increase their strength.

There were no great masters in their church, but they were like cockroaches in the dark, spreading widely and hiding themselves well.

Of course, this is also related to the current situation on the mainland.

With the unification of the two continents, any extremely high-level Soul Masters or Soul Beasts that show their faces on this planet will be instantly killed.

Therefore, if you want to do something, you can only hide in the shadows.

At this moment, hundreds of people had gathered inside a magnificent building in the capital of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

A conference is underway that will determine the next decade or even centuries for both continents.

The participants included not only the top figures of the Heaven Dou Empire, but also various titles from the Sun Moon Continent.

"We've already made some progress with the Cult of Original Sin; we're just waiting for the final showdown."

Xu Ran distributed the documents one by one:

"However, although people who believe in the original sin god have more extreme ideas, they look no different from ordinary people, so it is very difficult to eradicate them."

Li Xun picked up the documents and flipped through a few pages, discovering that the highest-ranking member of the Original Sin Cult was only at the Soul Emperor level.

"Post a reward notice. Ordinary believers will receive one silver coin, intermediate believers one gold coin, and cadres and bishops will receive anywhere from ten to one hundred gold coins."

"Don't be afraid to spend money; stability on the mainland is more important than anything else."

"Understood." Xu Ran nodded.

"Xiao Xun, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Ning Fengzhi pointed upwards in a daze.

"It's alright, I'm just waiting for them to come find me," Li Xun smiled.

"Alright then, just keep that in mind." Ning Fengzhi said no more.

Although he knew a lot, he was, after all, only a level 79 Soul Saint.

He can no longer understand Li Xun's level of understanding and ideas.

Next, the group discussed several plans regarding development and trade, followed by a crucial question.

What should we do with the soul beasts?

Although several beast tides occurred, and the soul beasts displayed tremendous strength, the top soul beasts fell one after another.

The decline of the Soul Beast race is inevitable.

This also brought up another problem.

With the disappearance of human civil wars and divisions, the two continents will experience extremely rapid development.

The strength of the human race will also experience an explosive growth.

It is foreseeable that while the number of soul beasts will not plummet, their lifespan will become increasingly shorter.

It won't be long, just a few thousand years, before soul beasts can't keep up with the pace of human development.

Because not only humans need to cultivate, but soul beasts also need time to grow.

At that time, Soul Master will become a profession with a very high barrier to entry.

Without connections and from a poor family, becoming a Soul Master will be an unattainable goal for many.

At that time, poaching and oppression will be rampant.

"It's time to think about future generations."

Li Xun thought for a moment:

"Establish a top academy on each of the two continents, gather all kinds of scholars and strong individuals, and explore how to bypass martial spirits to increase strength, with the future development of the human race as the direction."

"Topics could include soul tools, personal combat power, genes, cultivation methods, and anything that can open up new avenues for the development of the human race."

"I also have some insights at the moment, and after a while I will write a report on the changes in the human body after humans approach godhood, and put it in the two universities for reference."

"As for the soul beasts, we will first use the rules of Xunyang Tower as a basis to restrict indiscriminate killing and poaching in order to slow down the decline in the quality of soul beasts."

Li Xun had this realization when he was very young.

I remember he was still at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy back then.

What left a deep impression on him was the recorded history of the Dragon God and his understanding of the impact of the War of the Gods on the Douluo Continent.

As Li Xun grew stronger and became less reliant on his spirit rings, his thoughts became increasingly clear.

While the existence of martial spirits has played a very important role for the human race, it has ultimately become a constraint.

It indirectly stifled many more possibilities for humanity.

The most obvious characteristic is that after becoming a god, no matter which god it is, whether it's Tang San or the Asura God.

They no longer rely on their martial spirit.

During battles, no matter what kind of weapon spirit the Clear Sky Hammer is, Blue Silver Grass becomes insignificant.

The focus is more on divine artifacts and divine power.

Soul rings and soul skills are no longer of great importance.

This is the same as the great power that Li Xun envisioned, but there are some differences.

His idea was to transform his martial spirit into his innate divine power, thereby opening the path to unlocking his full potential.

For example, planting a golden lotus in the sea of ​​suffering, or the Dharma image of heaven and earth, the Great Wilderness imprisoning the heavens, and so on.

Of course, this path is still long, and he will have to wait until he becomes a god-king and comprehends the true rules of this world.

Or perhaps he can start something and leave the rest to the younger generation to research.

After all, he's become a God King, and he's spent the last ten years cultivating. Shouldn't he enjoy life a bit? Why make things so tiring for himself?

The meeting proceeded quickly and soon came to an end.

Just as everyone was engrossed in the discussion, a terrifying and murderous aura enveloped the entire Tiandou City.

In an instant, all the powerful figures in the conference room turned their heads, and powerful spiritual forces probed towards the source of the aura.

This meeting is very important; it is the first time that the top experts from both continents have met.

Therefore, regardless of whether they had important business to attend to or held important positions, they all came to the scene.

There are more than twenty Title Douluo on both continents, not to mention dozens of Soul Douluo.

"There's actually such a powerful being hidden among the soul beasts?"

"This aura suggests a powerhouse at the pinnacle of strength!"

"."

After sensing the aura, many powerful figures frowned, but they did not feel afraid.

Because among them are two such top experts.

One of them, it is said, even defeated Bibi Dong, who had become a god.

Everyone turned their gaze to Li Xun, who was seated at the head of the table.

"It's alright, you guys continue the meeting, I'll go out and take a look." Li Xun stood up and took the three-eyed golden lion from Poseidon's arms.

"Do you want me to come with you?" Poseidon asked, getting up.

"It's okay, I know who she is, but she's no threat to me."

Li Xun pressed Poseidon into a chair and then disappeared from the spot.

Above Tiandou City.

At this moment, a silver-haired girl is looking down at the entire city.

Judging from the expression on her face, she seemed very angry, like a volcano about to erupt.

"It hasn't even been a year yet, has it?"

Li Xun suddenly appeared in front of the silver-haired girl, holding the three-eyed golden lion.

"I heard news from the Star Dou Great Forest that Di Tian was hunted down and killed by your human race!"

The Silver Dragon King's eyes were icy as he spoke, each word deliberate and clear: "I've come to ask you, do you humans desire peace or war?"

"I know about this." Li Xun's eyes flickered. "But that human who hunted Di Tian is already dead. I killed him with my own hands."

"What are you going to do?"

"You killed that woman?" The Silver Dragon King was taken aback, his expression somewhat astonished.

Upon receiving this reply, she was truly at a loss for what to do.

Although rumors of the death of Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, were widespread, no one actually witnessed it.

Since she herself is a god, she knows the difference between a god and a soul master, so naturally she doesn't believe the rumors circulating outside.

The god who can kill Di Tian must inherit an extraordinary divine position.

So after hearing Brigitte's story, she rushed over.

Her original intention was to get Li Xun to help her deal with Bibi Dong, or at least give her an explanation.

After all, she is currently wanted by the gods and cannot unleash her full power.
