Chapter 303 Reform of the Tiandou Empire

The news of Emperor Xue Ye's death spread like a hurricane, sweeping across the entire Douluo Continent in a very short time.

However, for most forces, this news was not too shocking. After all, it was no secret that Emperor Xue Ye was in poor health, and it was normal for someone who was already terminally ill to die.

Moreover, the Tiandou Empire has a successor. Crown Prince Xue Qinghe is well-known for his virtue. With him around, the Tiandou Empire will not leave them any chance to take advantage of the situation.

What's more, Xue Qinghe's wife is the younger sister of Xiao Yu, the master of the Jiuxing Palace. Anyone with a discerning eye knows who was the mastermind behind the terrorist attack near Tiandoucheng.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family was completely wiped out, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect also suffered heavy losses, while the losses of the Nine Star Palace were almost negligible. This shows the terrifying strength of the Nine Star Palace, not to mention that the Nine Star Palace was merely a branch in Tiandou City at that time.

It is precisely because Xue Qinghe has the support of a super power like the Nine Star Palace that the support statement of another super sect in the Tiandou Empire, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, seems insignificant.

The first edict issued by Xue Qinghe after he ascended the throne made the entire continent boil. Everyone felt that the Tiandou Empire would soon send troops to the Wuhun Empire. The first empress of the Wuhun Empire, Bibi Dong, also mobilized a large number of elite troops to rush to the important border town of Jialing Pass to be on high alert. The Xingluo Empire was even more gloating and watching from the sidelines, ready to be the oriole behind the mantis stalking the cicada at any time.

Unexpectedly, the Tiandou Empire only sent Grand Marshal Ge Long to the border to take charge, reorganize military affairs and consolidate the new defense line, and had no intention of actively provoking a war.

Just when everyone was puzzled, the second edict issued by Xue Qinghe cleared up everyone's doubts.

Reform, change the law!

This is the most important meaning of Xue Qinghe’s second edict.

The Tiandou Empire has been declining over the years. The root cause is its strict aristocratic class and clan system. Many capable children from poor families have no chance to succeed, and those in high positions are mostly people who just sit there and do nothing. This has led to the country becoming like a stagnant pool of water and becoming increasingly rigid.

Even the Tiandou Royal Academy, which was supposed to recruit soul masters from all over the world for the empire, is corrupt and decadent. The spirit of comparison is prevalent within the academy, and all the students are addicted to pleasure and have no ambition to make progress. So many years have passed, and the Tiandou Royal Academy clearly has the best simulated training environment and teaching resources, but it does not even have a single outstanding student to show off.

In view of this, Qian Renxue, or Emperor Qinghe who truly put herself in the role of Xue Qinghe, had already deeply detested the extravagance of the nobles and the corruption and depravity of officials in the Tiandou Empire when she was still the crown prince. Now that she had just ascended to a high position, she immediately launched drastic reforms on the entire Tiandou Empire.

"madness!"

This was the evaluation made by Emperor Xingluo after he learned that the Tiandou Empire had launched a large-scale reform. In his opinion, Xue Qinghe's actions were tantamount to cutting off his own arm. His reforms touched the interests of too many people, and those people would definitely unite to fight against Xue Qinghe. By then, the Tiandou Empire would inevitably be seriously damaged.

If it weren't for the sudden establishment of the Spirit Hall, perhaps the Star Luo Emperor would have taken this opportunity to send troops to Tiandou.

Only Tang Yuehua, who had a keen eye, was somewhat worried about this. She felt that Xue Qinghe dared to carry out such drastic reforms just because of the existence of the Wuhun Empire.

This move will indeed cause a certain degree of shock to the Tiandou Empire, but the so-called reform must have the determination and will to cut off one's own arm.

In fact, in terms of territory and resource abundance, the Tiandou Empire is superior to the Xingluo Empire. However, in terms of comprehensive national strength, in the eyes of the world, even the officials of the Tiandou Empire, the Tiandou Empire is always inferior to the Xingluo Empire.

The reason for this is the existence of the corrupt and decadent aristocracy in the Tiandou Empire.

Tang Yuehua has taught Yuexuan in Tiandou City for more than 20 years. She knows very well how those nobles are eroding the foundation of the Tiandou Empire bit by bit. They are like leeches, relying on sucking the blood of the empire to maintain their extravagant lives.

Therefore, once Xue Qinghe's reforms are successful, the new Tiandou Empire will surpass the Xingluo Empire.

As for whether Xue Qinghe’s reform will be successful?

Tang Yuehua felt that there was great hope. Go Long went to the border to take charge, perhaps not to guard against the Wuhun Empire, but to use his prestige in the army to suppress the most powerful frontier army of the Tiandou Empire.

Behind Xue Qinghe is the mysterious Jiuxing Palace, a powerful sect with many masters. He has military power in his hands, is the legitimate emperor, and has the support of a huge sect with a transcendent status. With just those nobles, Tang Yuehua doesn't think they can overthrow Xue Qinghe's rule. At most, they can create some chaos.

At the same time, Poseidon Island.

Under the leadership of Poseidon Douluo Poseidon, Tang San, Dai Mubai and the other five Shrek members arrived at Poseidon Island peacefully.

Tang San naturally passed the Nine Tests of Seagod without a doubt, which made Bo Saixi's expression even gloomier.

On the one hand, it was because starting the Nine Trials required her life as a sacrifice. From Tang San and Tang Xiao, she already knew that Tang Chen had been recognized by the God of Shura, was undergoing the most critical final test, and was about to return as a god. She still wanted to be with Tang Chen forever and did not want to leave the world so early.

On the other hand, she felt that Tang San was really not worthy of inheriting the throne of Seagod.

During the days from the mainland to the Seagod Island, every time when he rested on the island at night, Tang San would always sneak out alone to search for sea soul beasts nearby, using his Eight Spider Soul Bones to devour their vitality to improve his own cultivation.

Although Tang San acted very covertly and none of the four people traveling with him, including Dai Mubai, noticed him, but who was Poseidon? She was a level 99 Ultimate Douluo, and she was above the sea. Her mental power almost covered the sea area within a radius of a thousand miles. How could Tang San's little action escape her perception?

What frightened Poseidon even more was that Tang San's appetite was growing. On the first day, he simply found a place to catch a thousand-year-old sea soul beast and devoured it. On the last day, he almost went around the entire island where they lived and devoured all the soul beasts over a thousand years old in the nearby sea area.

Poseidon felt that with Tang San's almost pathological desire to improve his strength, sooner or later he would set his sights on humans.

Bo Saixi didn't believe that the Sea God didn't notice Tang San's killing of sea soul beasts, but he still chose to pass the throne to Tang San. Bo Saixi only felt that the crack in the sacred temple in his mind had become bigger.

Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Ma Hongjun, who traveled with Tang San, perhaps because they did not take the magic grass, all four of them only got a black level four test, which was a significant decline compared to the original.
