Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

The modification process was extremely bloody and cruel, almost dismantling Ye Xishui into parts. Every muscle was temporarily removed and placed in a specially made soul-guided instrument for cellular-level modification.

The core of this soul-guiding device is that Tian Hao extracted the martial soul essence of those powerful members of the Body Sect and fused it with the martial soul essence of the Undying Poison as the foundation. It can be used to transform all parts of the human body into martial soul forms.

Ye Xishui is a Soul Master with a Beast Martial Soul, making it easier for her to modify.

Even so, many mistakes were made during the process, causing Ye Xishui a lot of trouble.

Fortunately, the ordeal of more than four months greatly enhanced her adaptability, which enabled her to pull through.

"I have already activated your Qi and Blood Power. Use it to temper your body as soon as possible. Don't forget to deepen the integration of your Martial Soul mutation. Once it is fully integrated, I will start the God-Making Project for you."

If you want any strength attribute, you can tell me in advance, and I'll add it for you.

As he spoke, Tian Hao disassembled the soul tool that had been transformed into a martial soul. The previous modification process had exposed many problems that needed to be studied in a targeted manner.

"I want the power of time and space."

Ye Xishui, who was slumped on the lab table, rolled her eyes and revealed the power she wanted.

Time and space are the two forces most adept at saving lives and escaping. If I could possess those two forces to fight against this thing in the future, my chances of success would be much greater.

Moreover, she wanted to see if time could be reversed significantly, allowing her to go back in time and change her past.

"Yes, but you need to provide the materials required for the god-making project. I will write a list for you based on your situation."

Upon hearing the request, Tian Hao glanced at Ye Xishui in surprise, but did not refuse. At the same time, he became even more determined to make a copy of the template for this old lady.

He didn't care about Ye Xishui's own thoughts. All your power came from me. You want to use the power I gave you to rebel against me? Aren't you too naive?

Or do you think you can surpass me?

"Ju Zi, Jiu Jiu, Vina, we can officially begin the experiment of body martial soul transformation. Send the test subjects over as soon as possible."

After quickly perfecting the soul tool, Tian Hao gestured to the three girls, Ju Zi. The next experiment would require verification by a large number of volunteers to find more problems, and then improve them one by one until they reached a flawless level before they could be officially put into use.

"We have captured all the bandits and robbers within the empire, totaling 100,000, as instructed by our teacher. They have all been taken to the military camp outside Tiandou City for custody."

Vina was the first to respond, saying that they had been arresting people as instructed when their teacher started making the soul tool, starting with bandits and robbers, and had already captured more than 100,000 people.

This number is exaggerated, but the world is not good now, and the country is not peaceful either. Not to mention that their Heavenly Soul Empire is surrounded by enemies on all sides: the Xuanbing Empire in the far north, the Sun and Moon Empire in the west, the Star Luo Empire in the south, and the Douling Empire in the east.

Aside from the ever-quiet Xuanbing Empire, they have conflicts with the other three major countries, especially with the Sun Moon Empire, where war has been almost constant. In the border region, many people have become bandits, and some are even secretly supported by certain forces.

With such a crackdown, 100,000 people were arrested. I believe that 100,000 people are enough to perfect that soul tool system.

"That's not enough. To truly perfect it, eliminate all accidents, and reach the standard for use, we need to invest at least one million people in experiments."

Tian Hao shook his head slightly and revealed a rather astonishing number.

"That much?"

Orange was shocked; this number was simply outrageous.

"That's just a preliminary estimate, and it's under ideal conditions. If the conditions aren't ideal, the number will have to double."

Tian Hao didn't care about the lives or deaths of those people. This chaotic world was already terrible enough, and those people were just adding to the chaos. If he wanted to end this chaotic world, those people had to be eliminated. Since that was the case, he might as well make use of them.

This is also the meaning of the saying that in times of chaos, severe punishments should be used. Appeasement will not work, especially for those whose hands are stained with blood and sin.

"Our Holy Spirit Cult is still too kind!"

Ye Xishui was also surprised, and then sighed.

She used to think that her Holy Spirit Cult was the most evil force in the world, bar none, but now she realizes that the Holy Spirit Cult is just playing house and acting in a petty way.

Look at their actions; they can ruin millions with just a few words.

"Our Star Luo Empire has prepared 200,000 people."

After a long silence, he finally uttered a number.

She also sent a message back to her father, telling him to prepare.

After all, only by investing in it can one be qualified to use this soul tool in the future; this is essential.

"We have 300,000 people in our Sun and Moon Empire."

Ju Zi then explained that this was written in a letter His Highness the Crown Prince had sent a few days ago. She had thought it was enough, but it turned out to be so lacking.

Although we haven't counted the Douling Empire, it's at most 100,000 people.

Even adding them all up doesn't reach a million people, so we need to keep arresting them.

"I wrote back to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to petition His Majesty to launch a nationwide purge, which should expose quite a few people."

After some hesitation, Orange finally decided to increase her investment.

Although the bandits and robbers in the border areas have been captured, there are still many people within the empire who bear sins, especially the powerful and wealthy. Their inner circle has long been corrupt, so it's good to take this opportunity to purge them to prevent them from holding back the empire's future journey into space.

After a long time, Xu Jiujiu and Vina exchanged a glance and then expressed their opinions.

Although the matter itself seems cruel, when you think about what those people did in the past, there's nothing to regret or feel sorry about.

The matter was settled in this way. Naturally, the first to know was Emperor Tianhun. Without the slightest hesitation, Emperor Tianhun immediately summoned the powerful and high-ranking officials in the capital and told them about his research on body martial soul transformation. He immediately gained everyone's support.

The people of the Heavenly Soul Empire know best the power of the Body Martial Soul, after all, the Body Sect is located in their country, and its strength is obvious to all.

Although the Body Sect seemed to have been crushed by that person before, it wasn't that the Body Sect was weak, but that person was too strong.

If they have the opportunity to obtain a physical spirit, they will naturally not miss it. Even if such a physical spirit cannot be enhanced with spirit rings, it will still bring considerable benefits.

For example, if one's physical attributes are enhanced by their own martial soul, they can support spirit rings of higher age. This can be seen by simply looking at the spirit ring configuration of the sect leader of the Body Sect.

With three 100,000-year spirit rings, and starting from the fourth spirit ring reaching the 10,000-year level, the advantages are self-evident.

After realizing the existence and importance of this research, all the nobles went almost crazy, especially the Heavenly Soul Emperor who promised that for every person they sent this time, they would receive a certain number of slots for physical martial soul transformation in the future.

If Emperor Tianhun hadn't specifically stipulated that only those who had committed capital crimes could be selected, and that they must bring solid evidence, otherwise their eligibility would be revoked, these powerful figures would probably have arrested people to take their place.

Even so, in the end, the Heavenly Soul Empire alone managed to gather another 200,000 people, and this was certainly not the entire force.

Most of these people were assassins secretly trained by the powerful and wealthy, specializing in handling things that were difficult to do openly; they were essentially their private army.

Although the power of the nobles will inevitably be weakened after these people are sent away, it is nothing compared to the original martial soul they can obtain.

After all, no matter how powerful the henchmen you cultivate are, they can't compare to the satisfaction of being powerful yourself.

The Heavenly Soul Royal Family will also benefit from this, because that person promised that in the end, the number of slots they receive will be equal to the total number of contributors from the entire empire, making the Heavenly Soul Royal Family the biggest winner.

The Star Luo Empire also made a statement, raising another 500,000 people. This was not because the situation in the Star Luo Empire was worse than that in the Heavenly Soul Empire, but because the Star Luo Empire had a larger territory and a larger population. Furthermore, its conflict with the Sun Moon Empire was more intense, which inevitably led to some internal problems.

The Sun and Moon Empire was not to be outdone. After a sweep, they uncovered nearly a million people, most of whom were unregistered individuals who had been hidden.

Tian Hao naturally wouldn't bother with these trivial matters. After completing the final shaping of Ye Xishui's Righteous and Evil Tai Chi Diagram Soul Guiding Soul Core, he headed to the Douling Empire.

Emperor Douling warmly welcomed Tian Hao's arrival and sent a princess to greet him at the city gate. Afterwards, she asked to become Tian Hao's disciple, but Tian Hao refused.

Princess Xueqing looked rather unhappy after being rejected. She had been overjoyed when her father had chosen her, but now she was being rejected.

"When I accept disciples, I prioritize their character, followed by their wisdom, and then their martial spirit. You are lacking in all of these."

Having revealed his criteria for accepting disciples, Tian Hao did not want to take on Princess Xue Qing. He could tell at a glance that this woman was skilled in palace intrigue, and taking her under his wing would only become a hidden danger.

Although Xu Jiujiu is also good at scheming, she tends to be more inclined to great wisdom, while the person in front of her is the type with petty cleverness.

"This matter does not affect my trade with your Douling Empire. You can also send people to join the plan of body martial soul transformation, and you can also trade electromagnetic soul guides, with the same conditions as the other three great empires."

Also, give me a detailed list of students from all the advanced Soul Master academies within your empire; I want to take one of them as my disciple.

After saying that, Tian Hao gestured for Princess Xueqing to leave.

"Xueqing takes her leave. I will convey your words to my father."

Despite her resentment, Xueqing knew that she couldn't refute the man's identity, so she had no choice but to withdraw.

"Didn't Master read the information on the younger generation of the Douling Royal Family and approve of some of them?"

After Xueqing left, Ah Li asked, puzzled.

Originally, I thought that even if the master was not satisfied with that Princess Xueqing, he would at least choose someone else from the Douling royal family. Who would have thought that he would reject the whole thing and even choose someone from all the advanced soul master academies in the Douling Empire.

"The Douling Empire has experienced the fewest wars and has the least pressure among the four great empires. The atmosphere in the royal family is also the worst. They live a life of extravagance and debauchery, and people are spoiled. Although there are a few princes who are not favored, they are still princes. No matter how much they were not favored in the past, they are still princes."

As a teacher, I represent a kind of power that can ignite their ambitions. I don't want to drag the academy into the royal power struggle.

Few princesses in the Douling royal family are of any real talent. Only Xue Lingxun is somewhat capable, but she has already married into the Xuanming Sect, and her son has joined Shrek Academy, which is quite a pity.

A connection with the Douling Empire must be maintained, and only one disciple can be chosen from outside the empire.

Tian Hao explained that although he wanted to plan for all empires, he would not lower his standards for accepting disciples for this purpose.

If it doesn't meet the standard, it doesn't meet the standard; in this regard, we must be willing to accept the inferior rather than accept the inferior.

"Teacher, is it really okay to let Ye Xishui go?"

Orange asked about another matter: this time, the teacher didn't bring Ye Xishui with him when he came to the Douling Empire; instead, he released her.

That woman is dangerous, especially after being modified by the teacher, her strength has increased even further, and it would be very troublesome if she were to retaliate.

“I knew she would retaliate, and I guessed she would join forces with Long Xiaoyao and Mu En, but that’s exactly what I wanted.”

Our current strength is limited, and we cannot expedite her godhood plan. We can only rely on the power of Mu En and Long Xiaoyao to increase the success rate of the experiment.

Only by understanding the secrets of becoming a god through Ye Xishui can one reach the realm of godhood based on the foundation of the third-generation super soldier. I look forward to meeting her again.

Having revealed part of his plan, Tian Hao was looking forward to meeting that old lady again, certain that he would gain a lot.

Such good bait is rare; it would be a huge loss if we didn't make a big profit from it.

Chapter 725 A Plan Against a Plan

Tian Hao's guess was correct. After leaving Tian Dou City and making a big detour to make sure she wasn't being followed, Ye Xishui immediately turned towards Shrek City and met Mu En there. However, she didn't expect to meet Long Xiaoyao at the same time.

"You've emerged from seclusion?"

Standing by the window of a hotel room in Shrek City, Ye Xishui looked at the scenery outside without any mood, her heart filled with complicated emotions.

She wouldn't have felt this way if she met either Mu En or Long Xiaoyao alone, but seeing them together made her feel uneasy and complicated.

Ultimately, the fault for what happened back then lay with me, even if I was forced into it.

"Xishui!"

Watching her retreating figure, Long Xiaoyao finally felt relieved.

In any case, it's good that Xishui is back safe and sound.
