Sun Moon Empire

Biodata

Power Progression

The following milestones concern the White World empire’s technological and military development, rather than an individual cultivation realm.

History

White World: Technological Transformation

Huo Yuhao chose the Sun Moon Empire instead of Shrek Academy after joining with the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux. Kong Deming accepted him as a disciple despite opposition and taught him everything he knew. Huo Yuhao subsequently became the Holy Son of Illustrious Virtue Hall, revolutionized forging, and developed Battle Armor ten thousand years ahead of its expected appearance 1 10.

His inventions spread throughout civilian life and the military. By eighteen, his prestige was sufficient for him to envision gathering the population’s faith and becoming the God of Soul Guidance 1 8.

White World: Overthrow of Xu Tianran

Huo Yuhao and Xu Tianran had jointly arranged the previous emperor’s supposedly accidental death. After taking the throne, Xu Tianran secretly collaborated with the Holy Spirit Cult, established a military research institute to reproduce Huo Yuhao’s work, and permitted Shrek’s Inspection Corps to enter Mingdu to eliminate him 9.

Following Divine Punishment, Xu Tianran attempted to bar Huo Yuhao from the capital using the Imperial Guard, purple mechas, and Mingdu’s defensive weapons. Huo Yuhao activated hidden mechanisms in his designs, dismantled the weapons, and seized the emperor. The guards knelt rather than intervene 7 8 9.

Jing Hongchen pledged Illustrious Virtue Hall’s support for Huo Yuhao’s claim. Huo Yuhao announced a coronation in three days and threatened to kill anyone in Mingdu who opposed him 10.

White World: Coronation and Royal Rebellion

King Zisheng, Xu Qian, interrupted the enthronement ceremony with an army loyal to the Xu dynasty. He had replaced his weapons’ Core Arrays, believing this would prevent Huo Yuhao from controlling them. Huo Yuhao instead activated safeguards embedded in their specially forged metal components, destroying mechas, ammunition, and supplies 23.

Huo Yuhao then released his autonomous black mechas and gave the soldiers a quarter of an hour to surrender. Xu Qian was executed, and Huo Yuhao formally proclaimed his imperial rule with Mingdu as the capital. The officials and population knelt, while their Power of Faith flowed into him 24.

White World: Ming Dou Campaign

Huo Yuhao mobilized mechas, Soul Engineer corps, artillery, logistics workers, and the captured Death God Tower against the Ming Dou Mountain Range. The imperial army blasted White Tiger Peak flat, opening a route toward Dai Hao’s five-hundred-thousand-strong Northwest Army Group 27 29.

Star Luo’s defenses collapsed after its smuggled Soul Guidance Batteries ran dry. Imperial mechas overwhelmed the exposed troops while Huo Yuhao attacked the command formation personally. After Dai Hao’s banner fell, the Sun Moon forces routed the army; officers were ordered executed, while ordinary soldiers were disarmed and taken prisoner 31 32 37.

Jing Hongchen pursued and killed the fleeing Dai Hao at Huo Yuhao’s request. Huo Yuhao displayed the duke’s head and called for the conquest of the Douluo Continent; the provided events do not establish that this wider conquest was completed 37.

Black World: Competition for Huo Yuhao

The Heavenly Screen exposed a technological gap between the two empires. Jing Hongchen could barely recognize the parallel Mingdu’s inventions, while Kong Deming became increasingly determined to recruit Huo Yuhao after seeing batteries, Battle Armor, and autonomous mechas 7 8 16 17 25.

The imperial faction was divided over him. Crown Prince Xu Tianran ordered Ju Zi to investigate Huo Yuhao after witnessing his counterpart’s humiliation. Kong Deming separately instructed Jing Hongchen to find the boy before the imperial family did 9 11.

Kong Deming later brought Sun Moon Soul Engineers to Shrek City, offering Huo Yuhao discipleship and the future leadership of Illustrious Virtue Hall. During the confrontation, he fired the Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell Hellfire, destroying Shrek’s city shield and killing hundreds of soldiers 30 33 35.

Despite their participation in the same confrontation, Kong Deming also helped Mu En exploit a weakness in the Death God Tower, contributing to the Holy Spirit Cult’s rout 39.

Organization and Leadership

Technology and Military Assets

Soul Guidance Batteries

• Allow ordinary people to operate Soul Tools without supplying their own Soul Power 8.
• Can be recharged using solar, wind, and thermal energy through methods developed by Huo Yuhao 32.
• Their renewable charging technology is an Illustrious Virtue Hall secret. Star Luo acquired batteries through illicit channels but could not obtain the charging method 32.

Mechas and Defensive Formations

• Purple mechas: Piloted machines over five meters tall, built from rare-metal alloys and equipped with shoulder-mounted Soul Cannons 8 23.
• Black mechas: Pilotless machines combining computers and Soul Tools; their artificial intelligence studies enemy movements and predicts evasive actions 24.
• City Defense Soul Guidance Array Formation: Mingdu’s coordinated defensive artillery system, described by Xu Tianran as capable of severely injuring a Super Douluo with a full-powered strike 8.

Restricted Research

• Battle Armor: Developed alongside mechas under Illustrious Virtue Hall’s highest secrecy. It merges with a Martial Soul; Huo Yuhao alone possesses a Spirit Forging-level set when he reveals it 16.
• Control safeguards: Huo Yuhao can dismantle his designs through a spiritual signal. Replacing Core Arrays does not remove safeguards embedded in specially forged metals 9 23.
• Civilian Soul Tools: His contributions include vehicles, communicators, and roadside lighting in Mingdu 7 10.

Death God Tower

• Originally Ye Xishui’s life-bound Soul Tool; taken into Huo Yuhao’s campaign force after his attack on the Holy Spirit Cult 16 27.
• Collects resentful souls and blood Qi from battlefields 32.
• In the Black World, Kong Deming identifies himself as its builder and explains that Ye Xishui added the cult’s evil formations 39.

External Relations

• Star Luo Empire — Border rival. Xu Qian had repeatedly fought its forces at the Ming Dou Mountain Range; Huo Yuhao later destroyed its Northwest Army Group in the White World 23 37.
• Shrek Academy — Huo Yuhao’s declared target in the White World. In the Black World, Kong Deming confronts the academy over custody of its student Huo Yuhao 9 30 33.
• Holy Spirit Cult — Secret collaborator of Xu Tianran, but rejected as an ally by Huo Yuhao. Its stockpiled imperial Soul Tools were disabled through his safeguards 9 13 16.
• Body Sect — Rival claimant to Huo Yuhao in the Black World. Du Busi challenges Kong Deming’s recruitment offer by pointing out the danger posed by Crown Prince Xu Tianran 32 33.
