Awakening! Spirit Hall Empire!
Su He, who was seriously injured and unconscious, was recovering from her physical injuries, but her consciousness was nowhere to be found. It was not that she had died, but that her consciousness had been sealed away in another place.
Su He opened her eyes and found herself in a state of chaos, surrounded by a dark world with no light in sight.
Su He could feel his body being enveloped by some kind of force, slowly falling, but when he looked down, he had no idea where the fall would end.
Upon closer inspection of his attire, he saw no trace of the injuries inflicted by the Sky-Rending Claw; he appeared completely unharmed. Furthermore, his physique and appearance seemed to have changed.
I now appear more composed than before, and my bulging muscles have a beautiful curve, making my extraordinary strength immediately apparent.
"This is clearly not the original world. Where am I?" Su He frowned and thought to herself.
"Host, you can think of this as Douluo Continent. This system has consumed too much energy and will fall into a deep sleep in five minutes. Please pray for your safety."
"What's the meaning?"
The system's voice, which had been silent for a long time, sounded again, but when Su He tried to ask further questions, the voice mysteriously disappeared once more.
As for the energy consumed, it was probably for the time when he saved Su He from Xiong Jun.
After all, if someone were hit head-on by the Sky-Rending Claw, let alone Su He, even a typical level 98 Super Douluo would die on the spot. His life was probably saved by the system.
But where is this place?
Just as Su He was still puzzled, the dark world beneath her feet was torn open from the middle like a curtain, Su He was finally able to see the whole picture.
At this moment, Su He suddenly remembered that the system was about to go into sleep in five minutes, so she quickly checked her panel to understand her current abilities.
Name: Su He
Age: 22
Martial Soul: Chaos Emperor Golden Lion
Level: Mid-stage God King Realm
Divine Position: Chaos (Destruction + Disorder)
Soul Ring: Red, Red, Red, Red, Red, Red, Red, Red, Purple Gold
Divine Gear: Chaos Divine Armor, Emperor Lion Halberd (forged from the Heavenly Saint Refining Abyss Halberd by fusing Disorder Divine Power).
After looking at her own panel, Su He only had one thing to say.
One god-level Soul Ring, nine Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Rings, that's awesome!!!
Furthermore, the ninth Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring has five golden patterns, indicating that this Soul Ring comes from a Ferocious Beast with a cultivation level of 500,000 years.
Alright, alright, Su He was at a loss for words regarding waking up to find herself God King.
After looking at the panel, the system seemed to have completely lost its vitality. No matter how he called out to it, there was no response. This made Su He frown and start to wonder where he was.
Su He slowly landed in a dark corner. He put on ordinary clothes, grabbed a black cloak, and walked outside.
Stepping out of that dark, unnoticed corner, Su He stood frozen in place.
He knew this place all too well, because it was where he grew up.
That's right, this is Spirit City.
However, it was quite different from the Spirit City Su He remembered. The Spirit City of the past, though solemn, did not have the same oppressive feeling as this one. The current Spirit City was somewhat similar to the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.
Su He walked out onto Spirit Street, the main thoroughfare of Spirit City. Sure enough, there were still many small vendors and the lively atmosphere of the street remained. However, the number of soldiers under martial law was more than double that of before.
On the system panel, Su He's age was already twenty-two. Su He was very curious about what had happened during those five years, so she walked up to a stall selling pancakes made from the meat of Hundred-Year Soul Beast and asked the stall owner.
"Boss, how much is this pancake?"
"Fire Horned Coiled Ram Pie: 5 Silver Soul Coin each; Soft Bone Rabbit Pie: 7 Silver Soul Coin each. These are the only two fillings available for now, little brother."
The boss smiled broadly and spoke very politely to Su He.
"Give me one with Soft Bone Rabbit filling," Su He chuckled, then handed the shopkeeper a Gold Soul Coin. He really didn't have any smaller denomination currency on him, leaving the shopkeeper dumbfounded.
As for why she ate meat patties filled with Soft Bone Rabbit filling, it was clear that Su He was very resentful about not having eaten meat from a 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit, and could only make up for it by eating some of the old rabbit's offspring.
Tender rabbit meat was scraped off the rabbit leg and grilled on a hot iron plate, sizzling and splashing with juices. With the addition of spices, the rich aroma wafted into Su He's nose.
Once the rabbit meat is roasted, it is rolled into a tender white flatbread, and a fragrant Soft Bone Rabbit roll is ready.
Su He took the pancake, took a bite, and yum... it was tender, juicy, and had an unforgettable aftertaste.
Wonderful!
"Boss, your pancakes are pretty good," Su He said with a smile.
"Of course, this is freshly sourced from the forest —Hundred-Year Soul Beast. It's a bit pricey, but the cost is also high."
"Hey, boss," Su He leaned closer and said, "I want to ask you something. I'm Soul Master from the countryside. I've been in seclusion for three years and have no idea what's happening outside. I'd like to collect some Soul Master subsidies. I wonder how the Spirit Hall is doing these days?"
"Where is the Spirit Hall anymore...?" the shopkeeper whispered, leaning closer. "Now there's only the Spirit Hall Empire!"
Su He was suddenly startled. Could it be that he had arrived in another timeline from the Original Work? In this timeline Bibi Dong had already established the Spirit Hall Empire?
"Boss, who is the ruler of the Spirit Hall Empire?" Su He asked.
"Naturally, it's the original Pope; I won't mention her name," the shopkeeper said cautiously. "Young man, what level of Soul Master are you?"
"Me? Just a minor Soul Elder," Su He said, waving his hand.
"Then you'd better join the Spirit Hall Empire quickly, otherwise you'll be considered a heretic!"
Upon hearing the boss's words, Su He's brows furrowed instantly. There was indeed such a description in the Original Work, but he had only assumed that the people on the Heaven Dou Empire side were exaggerating. However, it turned out that even the people in the Spirit City of the Spirit Hall Empire were saying the same thing.
Bibi Dong, that madwoman, is truly going to ruin the Spirit Hall! The thousand-year foundation of the Angel Family is being completely destroyed in her hands.
"Young brother, joining the Spirit Hall Empire is an excellent thing. Now that the Seven Great Sects have all announced their allegiance to the Spirit Hall after the re-election, the Seven Treasure Haotian Sect is in seclusion, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan no longer exists, and the dragon head of that Blue Lightning Douluo is still in the Spirit Hall's collection cabinet."
"The Spirit Hall Empire already controls 70% of the continent's Soul Master power; sweeping across the continent would be a piece of cake for them."
Hearing the stall owner's words, Su He fell into deep thought.
I'll write some side stories, but they can't really be called side stories because the plot is coherent and they all connect in the end.
