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

They're not even on the same level!

Most importantly, the electromagnetic soul tool was clearly just something they created to balance the four great empires, and it wasn't valued in itself. Their real research achievement was the god-making project, and compared to that, the electromagnetic soul tool was nothing.

Even if they perfectly replicated the electromagnetic soul tool, it wouldn't make much difference; they would be instantly defeated by someone else's god-making project.

"Any solutions?"

An elder inquired, saying that he didn't know much about the Soul Guidance System and couldn't offer any suggestions. He could only see if the Soul Guidance System had a solution and then offer his full support.

"One approach is to address the problem directly at its source: capture that person, and use mental-type soul skills to extract the secrets of the new soul guidance system from his mind. The other approach is to find a way to acquire the accumulated knowledge of the soul guidance system from the Sun Moon Empire, thereby improving our own level, and then find a way to understand that new soul guidance system."

Having offered two solutions, Xianlin'er, lacking any real ability, could only resort to unorthodox methods.

"It's not easy to take action against that person. We can only wait for Elder Mu and the others to come up with their results. We can devise a second plan, such as having an exchange and learning session with the Sun Moon Royal Academy and trying to steal their accumulated soul guidance system knowledge."

Lin Huiqun thought it was feasible. With their strength, they naturally couldn't scheme to capture that person. They could only rely on Elder Mu and his group's methods. The only thing they could do was to think of a way to get help from the Sun Moon Empire.

More than four thousand years ago, during that war, the Sun Moon Empire possessed a level nine soul-guided cannon. It was because of this that they were forced to retreat one after another, and even a titled Douluo could not withstand it alone.

Now, more than four thousand years have passed, and the soul guidance system of the Sun Moon Empire must have reached a completely new level. The natal soul guidance device has also been confirmed to be realized. If they can obtain the accumulated resources of the Sun Moon Empire, their Shrek Academy's soul guidance system will definitely be greatly improved. At that time, studying that person's achievements may be able to achieve a breakthrough.

"This can be used as a backup plan. If Elder Mu and the others are unable to find and eliminate its true form, we will use this plan. Moreover, that person's students can also be targeted."

An elder added that he had his eye on that person's disciple.

It's difficult to obtain the research results from such a being, but their disciples aren't that powerful. Not to mention, two of them were poached from Shrek Academy, so the success rate is quite high with some maneuvering.

"We need to think this through carefully, so we don't capsize again."

Seeing that someone had indeed brought up this unorthodox method again, Xian Lin'er's fair face twitched involuntarily, and she immediately gave a serious reminder.

It's acceptable to plot against someone else's disciple, but it must be done with absolute certainty. Last time they tried this, they angered the other party, who then bombarded Shrek Academy, almost destroying the entire academy.

Elder Mu and Elder Xuan are both critically injured and on the verge of death; we absolutely cannot afford to make another mistake this time.

Everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere grew increasingly somber.

They really wanted to obtain the new Soul Guidance System created by that person, but they also understood the risks involved. One wrong move and the entire Shrek Academy could be wiped out.

Last time, they were alone, but this time they've partnered with all four great empires. In particular, the Sun Moon Empire has sent all of its level-nine soul tools to assist their research. If they were to clash again, there would be no way to end the conflict.

"None of you should act rashly in private. We should wait for the outcome of Elder Mu's plan."

Xuanzi finally spoke, setting the tone and warning his old buddies.

Having ideas is fine, but you absolutely cannot act on them without permission, and you certainly cannot disrupt Elder Mu's plans.

Meanwhile, deep underground in the Sea God Pavilion, Mu En was assisting Ye Xishui in fusing three pairs of soul cores with Long Xiaoyao.

Since it was originally Ye Xishui's martial soul power, even the newly added attributes were already quite compatible with the martial soul, especially the dark attribute. With Long Xiaoyao's assistance, it fused very smoothly with the Blood Soul Demon Puppet martial soul.

The blood-red Blood Soul Puppet has now turned into a pure black color, and it even seems to be able to devour light.

With her martial spirit as the linchpin and the righteous and evil Tai Chi diagram as the foundation, all three pairs of soul cores were eventually integrated into the righteous and evil Tai Chi diagram, and Ye Xishui's strength improved further, but there was still a gap between her and becoming a god.

"Has divine power been born?"

Moon asked anxiously, "Whether we can succeed or not depends on this moment."

On the other side, Long Xiaoyao was equally nervous. They had only heard of the Beast God Di Tian condensing this Yin-Yang complementary soul core form before; this was the first time it had been seen among humans.

Not to mention that Ye Xishui has three pairs of soul guides and soul cores, encompassing all the power of the human body, from spiritual power to soul power to life force and blood.

They had never done such a comprehensive fusion before. Even before, they had only perfectly fused spiritual power and soul power. Mu En even created the ultimate move of ruling the world based on this.

But Xi Shui's current fusion is more perfect and advanced than theirs. I wonder if it can break through that limit?

"No, there's still a gap. I'm afraid I'll have to rely on the power of the Heavenly Tribulation to break through the limit and become a god, or merge the two martial souls into one."

After sensing the situation, Ye Xishui's expression turned rather unpleasant.

She had originally planned to fuse three pairs of soul guide cores and use the transformation from fusion to become a god, but unfortunately, she was still lacking.

The bottleneck of becoming a level 100 god is far more difficult to break through than I expected, especially when relying on my own strength.

Now he only has two paths to take: one is to merge the two martial souls as that thing planned, and forcibly become a god by using the transformation and evolution of the martial soul fusion.

The second path is to follow the path of becoming a god through the tribulations of the era ten thousand years ago, and transform into a god by relying on the power of the tribulations.

The former requires a lot of time to integrate the powers of the two martial souls and eventually merge them into one, which would probably take about a hundred years. Obviously, she doesn't have that much time, and that thing won't give her that much time either.

The latter would be very dangerous, mainly because his first martial soul was too severely restrained by the power of the heavenly tribulation. Even though his strength has improved a lot now, he is not confident that he can withstand the nine heavenly tribulations.

"Has there been any news from the Sun Moon Empire?"

After calming herself down, Ye Xishui inquired about the latest information.

Their own strength has now reached its limit, and it will be difficult to improve significantly in a short period of time. The same goes for Mu En and Long Xiaoyao. They must start the battle as soon as possible to prevent that thing from becoming even stronger.

"I heard about a project called Solar Furnace 2, which is said to be about creating a miniature sun. They are currently collecting materials."

Judging from the amount of special materials collected, the Solar Furnace II was definitely not small.

Long Xiaoyao revealed the intelligence that had been sent some time ago: the four great empires were now rejecting Shrek Academy, making it difficult to obtain useful information here, and they could only rely on the intelligence network of their Holy Spirit Cult.

"He really did it?"

Ye Xishui was surprised. She had heard a little about it before, but she didn't expect that thing would actually be made, and so quickly.

Since it's called Solar Furnace II, there must also be a first one. That must be the experiment for that thing, which means that the technology is already mature.

"Is he really shaping the sun?"

Ye Xishui's shock also shocked Mu En. Unlike Ye Xishui, who had been focusing on cultivating and fusing the soul core, Mu En had been in frequent contact with the outside world and with Long Xiaoyao, and had long known about this information.

But I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, after all, creating a sun was too far-fetched.

However, judging from Ye Xishui's expression, things didn't seem as simple as she had thought.

"I've heard a bit about it from them. It's a plan based on Xu Jinghong's Sun Martial Soul. I don't know the specifics of its power, but it's definitely comparable to god-level power. We can't wait any longer."

Ye Xishui didn't know much, just a few snippets of information, but it was already enough to frighten her.

That thing was already nearly invincible; if it gained god-level power, it would truly be unbeatable.

"The former sect master of the Haotian Sect has been elevated to godhood by the Sea God. The Haotian Hammer has undergone a god-level evolution and has been fused with god-level materials, becoming a true divine artifact, powerful enough to destroy his soul-guided body."

Mu En revealed his latest trump card: after visiting the Body Sect last time, he went to the Clear Sky Sect and discussed things with the two of them. At the same time, he communicated with the Sea God through divine sense. In the end, he agreed to let the old sect master of the Clear Sky Sect break through with the help of immortal herbs and then become a god with the help of the Sea God. He also bestowed divine-level materials to strengthen the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, all in order to target that person.

The former sect leader of the Haotian Sect was a figure from the same era as him, but he was a bit unlucky and was stuck at level 98, unable to make any progress. This time, he broke through by relying on a fairy herb and then obtained a divine ring bestowed by the Sea God to break through and become a god.

Although the foundation is not perfect, which will have some impact on strength, with the Clear Sky Hammer's ability to shatter everything, it can definitely smash that person's soul-guided mecha body.

Once they break through the body of that soul-guided mech, they have plenty of ways to deal with its soul.

However, the Sea God requested that the person's soul be preserved and sealed away, clearly indicating that he had other plans for it.

"Not enough, not enough!"

With a glint in her scarlet eyes, Ye Xishui still felt uneasy.

Although the Sea God's intervention brought them a god-level expert, this kind of level 100 god who broke through with the help of external forces is not much stronger than the Limit Douluo.

Last time, Xu Jinghong was able to unleash combat power comparable to a level 100 god by using his natal soul tool and the blessing of the sun. So much time has passed, who knows how many powerful people that thing has cultivated? The most terrifying thing is the thing itself.

"The Sea God also bestowed upon him his divine artifact."

After hesitating for a moment, Mu En manifested the Trident of the Sea God, which was sealed within the Light of the Sea God. This was the main artifact personally forged by the Sea God, and its weight alone reached 54,000 jin.

Of course, weight is secondary; the key is the power that can be unleashed.

This was specifically designed to counter the Asura Demon Sword that was stolen by that person. After all, that sword was a genuine divine artifact, and according to the Sea God's divine decree, it seemed that person had already mastered the true power of the Asura Demon Sword.

To counter a divine artifact, you have to use the divine artifact itself.

With this Trident of Poseidon in hand, I'm sure I can take it down.

However, the Sea God also specifically instructed that this artifact should not be used if possible, otherwise it would cause a series of troubles and should only be used as a last resort.

"That's more like it!"

Feeling the divine power that had been so oppressive to her, Ye Xishui actually felt much more at ease.

Let's see how that thing manages to bounce around this time.

"Xi Shui, do you think his appearance was a coincidence or an inevitability?"

Long Xiaoyao suddenly voiced his concerns. He feared that the appearance of that person was not a coincidence, and that if a golden age like that of ten thousand years ago were to be ushered in in this era, things would become very troublesome.

The fact that a single prodigy requires such a large-scale mobilization, and who knows how many more will die afterward, means that if similar prodigies continue to emerge in the future, they will definitely be unable to cope and could be wiped out in the blink of an eye.

Just thinking about those video materials I've seen makes me feel very uncertain, even if I achieve a level 100 godhood, I still won't have confidence.

After all, there were quite a few geniuses who could slay gods in that era ten thousand years ago, and they were slaying true gods who descended from the divine realm, not someone like me who was just a nobody.

How could he not be worried when facing such a ruthless person?

"How would I know?"

Ye Xishui rolled her eyes, but she was actually quite worried inside.

She didn't have a clear understanding of the existence of geniuses before, but after encountering one and being humiliated and tormented by it, she understood the terror of the word "genius."

That was beyond their comprehension.

But things have come to this point, and now we can only do everything we can to destroy that thing, otherwise, not only her, but Shao Zhe will also have a hard time getting off.

"Moun!"

Long Xiaoyao looked at his best friend. He was at a loss for what to do about the situation and could only hope that Mu En had a better solution.

"I don't know either. All we can do now is become stronger as quickly as possible, nip any emerging geniuses in the bud, and then collect the power of faith to reshape the ancient gods' positions based on the original divine power we inherited."

A fierce look appeared on his face; Moon decided to take a gamble.

Although this went against his principles, he had no other choice for the sake of Shrek Academy and Lord Sea God.

Shrek has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and it must not be ruined in our hands.

"You've changed, or maybe you haven't!"

Looking at her ex-husband's ruthless and resolute attitude, Ye Xishui sighed.

The Moon she knew before wasn't like this. Perhaps his experiences over the years have changed him, or perhaps this is Moon's true nature. Or perhaps Shrek is just too important to him, and he's willing to do anything for Shrek, even against his own principles.

"Who is the Holy Emperor in your Holy Spirit Cult's doctrine? There seems to be no such person recorded in history."

Moon didn't want to continue on this topic, so he changed the subject and asked about a question that had been bothering him, which was also a key point mentioned in the last divine message from the Sea God.
