#633 - Douling Royal Family

Chapter 627 Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) Royal Family

"Interesting. I didn't expect they could use this method."

Nan Fusheng looked at the information in his hand, a hint of intriguing color revealed in his eyes.

One day ago, the Holy Spirit Cult suddenly took control of a federal soul guidance television station and announced that they were responsible for the attack on the East Sea Fleet. For a time, a huge wave was set off among the media.

The dove faction took the opportunity to launch a public opinion offensive. How can we resist foreign enemies without internal stability? The threat of the Holy Spirit Cult is huge and has reached an imminent level. They urged the Federal Parliament to set down laws as soon as possible to encircle and suppress the Holy Spirit Cult.

Although in fact, with the secrecy of the Holy Spirit Cult, it is not easy to encircle and suppress them, but at least this can divert attention to a certain extent.

The public's attention has also shifted from supporting the war to worrying about the Holy Spirit Cult. The direction of public opinion has changed, and the military has been impacted to a certain extent.

The dove faction launched a series of offensives against the hawk faction, satirizing the hawk faction's inability to confront the Holy Spirit Cult internally. Once the military goes on an expedition, how can they deal with the Holy Spirit Cult's destruction within the federation?

The dove faction's argument can be described as a roundabout way to save the country. They no longer opposed the war, but simply told the people how terrible the Holy Spirit Cult hidden within the federation was.

For a time, the crowd was excited, and the dove faction finally temporarily gained the upper hand this time.

Vast Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie publicly announced a declaration of war against the Holy Spirit Cult. And starting from Tianhai City, a large-scale cleanup of the Holy Spirit Cult began.

Under such circumstances, war is obviously impossible in the short term.

"Also, Gu Yuena, she seems to be going to the other two continents as well." Nan Fusheng thought of what Gu Yuena had said to him not long ago. The other party also seemed to be going to the Spirit Transfer Pagoda on Douling Continent.

As a newly promoted Spirit Transfer Envoy, it seems perfectly normal to go to the Spirit Transfer Pagoda of the other two continents to show her face to the staff, right?

However, Nan Fusheng knew very well that showing her face was just an excuse. Gu Yuena's real purpose should be to confirm the artificial ten-thousand-year soul spirit on the other two continents.

After all, can't showing her face be done with super-long-distance soul guidance communication?

Moreover, when Gu Yuena becomes one of the four great Spirit Transfer Envoys(传灵使: Spirit Transfer Envoy), I am afraid her information will also be transmitted to the person in charge of the other two continents. At most, it is just that the time is a little different due to the distance.

Artificial ten-thousand-year soul spirit is the most important part of Gu Yuena's soul beast revival plan and is her reliance on controlling a large number of soul masters.

If she waits until she launches her methods here to control a large number of soul masters on Douluo Continent, but the soul masters on the other two continents are not controlled, then things will be terrible.

What Gu Yuena wants is to take down Douluo Star without bloodshed. If she forces the human soul masters to become anxious, then the remaining soul masters on Douluo Continent will directly cooperate with those technicians and the other two continents, then things will be troublesome.

Even if she can successfully suppress them in the end, Douluo Star, which is already short of resources, will probably suffer even greater trauma.

This is not what Gu Yuena wants to see, so the promotion of soul spirits on the other two continents must also be carried out at the same time.

"Aponia seems to be progressing well too. I hope they don't fight by then."

...

Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) Continent.

Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) Empire, Imperial Palace.

Xue Yuntian looked at the report in his hand, his brow furrowed. As the emperor of the empire, his days are not easy.

Ten thousand years ago, the former Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) Empire remnants came here through migration. At that time, the Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) Empire remnants had reached the end of their rope, and the total number of people who could come to this continent alive was less than 10,000.

The resources brought were even fewer. Most importantly, there were not enough talents.

This is much worse than the later Star Luo Empire's discovery of Star Luo Continent, active migration, and the great transfer of millions of people.

Therefore, even if the Star Luo Continent was developed much later than the Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) Continent, it is actually developing much faster than the Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) Continent. After all, the resources and talents that the Star Luo Empire could bring at that time were too much more.

Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) Continent was barren at first, and everything had to be started from scratch. Except that the soul beasts were somewhat similar to Douluo Continent, there were not even any indigenous humans on this continent. This is also the reason why the development of the Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) Empire is difficult.

Originally, after the imperial family's surname came here, it was specially changed to Xue, which means everything starts from scratch. Finally, it is getting better and better and gradually developing.

But after developing, Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) Continent has a problem, that is, the nobility!

Yes. Even until now, there are still nobles in Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) Continent. Although the royal family is still supreme, these nobles are also dividing the power of the royal family to a certain extent.

Developed, but not fully developed. This is probably what Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) Continent is talking about.

In addition, with the tacit suppression of Tang Sect and Spirit Transfer Pagoda, their soul guidance technology is developing even more slowly.

Tang Sect is the number one arms supplier of the Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) Empire. Almost all high-end weapon technology is sold to the Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) Empire by them.

But in fact, in order not to accelerate the development of Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) Empire's technology and rapidly deplete resources, Tang Sect has been very conservative and rhythmic in completing transactions with them over the past few thousand years.

"What should I do? The Spirit Transfer Pagoda can't be relied on, but we have no other options besides Tang Sect. I never thought that the rise and fall of a country would have to rely on a sect." Xue Yuntian thought bitterly.

When he heard that the Douluo Federation intended to launch a war, it was absolutely impossible not to be nervous.

As the emperor of the empire, Xue Yuntian often couldn't sleep at night. He knew very well that with the power of the Douluo Federation, if the war really started, the Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) Empire's army probably wouldn't be able to hold on for even ten days. The gap in the comparison of military strength between the two sides is too great.

As the weakest existence among the three continents, Xue Yuntian attaches great importance to intelligence.

According to statistics, the Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) Empire currently has a total population of approximately 260 million, which is approximately one-tenth of Douluo Continent and one-third of Star Luo Continent.

It has a standing army of 400,000. Including 100,000 logistics support and other rear personnel. There are a total of ten main battle corps, including two naval corps. The equipment level is very different from Douluo Continent.

According to military estimates, the three armies of the Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) Empire have approximately only 10,000 mechas. There are few large-scale soul guidance weapons.

If the war really starts, even just one mothership battle group from Douluo Continent can end the battle in a very short time. These 300,000 Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) Empire troops are equivalent to the strength of 50,000 elite troops on Douluo Continent.

The only advantage of their Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) Empire is probably the favorable geographical location. Compared with Douluo Continent, they are more familiar with this continent, and that's all.

The current strategy is to wait until the war starts and they will directly allow the federal army to enter Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) Continent, fight the federation on the continent, thereby delaying longer time, and then try to intercept the federal army's supply and stall the war.

In addition, there are some people who advocate burning everything together, saying that they want to directly install high-explosive soul guidance bombs on the cities and resource points of Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) Continent, and directly explode with the federal army when they come over.

Even if they die, even if they explode Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) Continent, they cannot allow the federation to obtain any benefits from them.

Xue Yuntian of course rejected this suicidal approach in the first place, but there are still many people in the military who agree with this idea.

In addition, there is a third, weaker voice advocating peace talks.

The idea of the peace talks faction is to advocate giving the federation land and compensation, so that the federation agrees not to touch their interests and instead go to develop other places.

Anyway, Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) Continent is so big, and they still have many undeveloped areas, so it doesn't matter.

Damn it, this idea is even more outrageous.

Xue Yuntian not only rejected this idea, but even secretly wrote down the small aristocrat who proposed this idea, and prepared to take care of the other party sometime after surviving this war.

Damn it, it's not your land, so you don't feel bad, right? If you dare to cede land now, will you dare to cut off the head of this emperor tomorrow and then go to please the Douluo Allied Forces.

Of course, those who propose this idea are basically small nobles with very low status in the Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) Empire. They only know how to eat, drink and have fun. As long as it doesn't threaten their acre of land, they won't care about anything.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) Empire is an imperial system, I am afraid that the surrender faction would account for the vast majority. Because they know very well the gap with the Douluo Federation. This is qualitative and irreparable.

But what the imperial country is most worried about is the interruption of the succession of their power. Therefore, they will never compromise with the federation anyway.

Those nobles with very high status are also opposed to peace talks because they are too deeply tied to the empire and occupy too many interests.

"Now I can only hope that the Tang Sect is more reliable, otherwise the Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) Empire will really be over." Xue Yuntian couldn't help clenching his palms tightly, and his nails pierced deeply into his palms.

Although the Star Luo Empire has long formed an alliance with the Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) Empire, the two continents are too far apart, and it is very difficult to help each other.

And in the naval aspect, it is also where the gap between the two major empires and the federation is the greatest. It is not too difficult to cut off their connection with each other.

Helplessly, Xue Yuntian can only turn to the two most powerful organizations in the world, the Spirit Transfer Pagoda and the Tang Sect, hoping that they can help. The Tang Sect agreed, but the Spirit Transfer Pagoda's attitude was somewhat ambiguous, taking the opportunity to blackmail and extort.

Undoubtedly, they all want the resources on Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) Continent. It's just that Tang Sect is relatively upright, saying that they will exchange resources for weapons, while the Spirit Transfer Pagoda wants resources for nothing, but is willing to promise that after getting enough resources, they can allow the federation to postpone sending troops.

After constantly discussing with the high-level officials of the empire, Xue Yuntian still believes that Tang Sect's plan is more desirable. At least, what Tang Sect provides is visible and tangible.

And the Spirit Transfer Pagoda is too ethereal. It's just a promise, but can promises really be useful in wars between countries? Even if the Spirit Transfer Pagoda has a huge influence, Xue Yuntian doesn't dare to believe it!

But what exactly can Tang Sect provide, there is no list so far. It just said that the Tang Sect Master will visit in person and bring what is needed.

The news of the East Sea Fleet being attacked not long ago has already been spread. It is said that the war may be launched at any time, and Xue Yuntian is already in a hurry. But the Tang Sect's support has not yet arrived, so how can he not be anxious?

"Could it be that I have to ask for help from the Apocalypse Church(天启神教: Revelation Church)?" This idea flashed through Xue Yuntian's mind, but it was quickly rejected by him.

The Apocalypse Church(天启神教: Revelation Church) is a new sect that has risen in Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) Continent in the past two years, advocating guiding mankind to the right path, but the high-level officials in the church are unknown.

It is said that this sect has a method that can allow ordinary people to become soul masters, but only devout believers can get this opportunity. Therefore, this sect has really attracted a large number of ordinary people to join.

For this emerging sect and its novel doctrines, Xue Yuntian really had some curiosity and had personally received the saint of the Apocalypse Church(天启神教: Revelation Church): Aponia.

At that time, the royal family's offering seriously told him that the woman named Aponia was unfathomable in strength, at least stronger than him.

And at that time, beside Xue Yuntian was the strongest of the Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) royal family's offerings, a Super Douluo with a cultivation base of 98th level. Even stronger than that one, could it be an Ultimate Douluo!

Such a strange super strong suddenly appeared under the rule of the Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) royal family. Logically speaking, the Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) royal family should investigate it.

Xue Yuntian also did this, but in the end, he couldn't find anything. This sect and this strong person seemed to have suddenly emerged.

Of course, although the other party is indeed very strong, for the Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) royal family who needs strong support, it doesn't matter if the background is a little vague. There is more than one or two offerings with vague backgrounds in the royal family, as long as they are not evil soul masters, it doesn't matter.

At that time, Xue Yuntian had proposed that the saint could join the Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) royal family and become one of their offerings.

But the other party shook her head with a smile, only made a request: hoping that the Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) royal family could help them promote their doctrines and enshrine them as the state religion. In that case, they would naturally stand on the side of the Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) royal family.

Don't want resources, just want to become the state religion?!

Although he was a little confused as to why the other party made this request, Xue Yuntian finally decided to agree, anyway, it wouldn't hurt to pull in an Ultimate Douluo.

But unfortunately, in the end, it was because of the strong remonstrance from the Spirit Transfer Pagoda and the Tang Sect that it was not successful.

These two major organizations seemed to have a kind of tacit understanding, and took measures to suppress this emerging sect.

Among them, the Tang Sect's reaction was the biggest, while the Spirit Transfer Pagoda's attitude in recent years has been somewhat ambiguous.

Xue Yuntian understood that these two major organizations must have grasped intelligence that he didn't know, so they would severely crack down on this emerging sect, but he didn't know the details.

"Alas..."

Thinking of this, Xue Yuntian couldn't help sighing. In order to avoid angering the two major organizations, he has not contacted the Apocalypse Church(天启神教: Revelation Church) again.

Being an emperor, but living so aggrieved, he is not the first, and probably won't be the last.

Since the establishment of the Douling(斗灵: Fighting spirit) royal family, the emperors of all dynasties have lived so aggrieved. But it doesn't matter, he can't contact them, but the people under his command can contact them.

Although the Apocalypse Church(天启神教: Revelation Church) has been severely attacked by the Tang Sect, it is still alive and well. In this, there may be Xue Yuntian's secret instructions.

According to what he knows now, famous nobles in the empire, and even several princes, are often in contact with the Apocalypse Church(天启神教: Revelation Church) in private.

"Could it be that they really have a method to allow ordinary people to become Soul Masters? The reason why the two major organizations are suppressing them is to obtain this method?" For some reason, this thought flashed through Xue Yuntian's mind.
