The Strong Gather, Setting Out Officially
"Hmph, who do you think I am, Yan!"
Yan raised an eyebrow and said proudly. Then, a look of longing that Su He had never seen before appeared on his face.
"Everyone says that water and fire are incompatible, but I'm going to tell them that's utter nonsense!"
Su He was taken aback by what she heard, and had some guesses in her mind, but she did not say them out loud.
He was just very curious: how did these two get together?
Two weeks later.
Today is the official day set by the Spirit Hall for their journey to the Sun Moon Continent. Su He opened her eyes in the cultivation room, clenched her fists, and felt her own power.
"Level 67."
The lines of her body, filled with hard muscle definition, weren't overly exaggerated, but possessed a powerful and beautiful quality. She had been stuck at level 66 for quite some time, but hadn't been focusing on proper training recently, which was why her level hadn't increased. Now that she was about to set off for the Sun Moon Continent, Su He naturally needed to prepare in advance.
In the Original Work, four thousand years later, due to the vast size of the Douluo Continent, a landmass called the Sun Moon Continent to the west collided with the Douluo Continent due to tectonic plate movement, merging them into one. This led to a large-scale war between the two continents. The Douluo Continent was no longer the same as it was ten thousand years ago, when the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire stood as two powers, but instead it was divided into three empires.
Due to internal divisions Heaven Dou Empire has split into two empires: Heaven Soul and Dou Spirit. Beset by internal strife and external troubles, the allied forces of the Douluo Continent were utterly defeated by the power of the Sun Moon Continent.
It's important to know that the unique feature of the Sun Moon Continent is its powerful technology and Soul Tool capabilities, which far surpass the Hidden Weapon of the Tang Sect at the time. This shocked the pure cultivation-based Soul Master of the Douluo Continent.
Even equipped with Tang Sect Hidden Weapon, the Douluo Continent Allied Forces were still utterly defeated by the Sun Moon Empire. Douluo Continent had no choice but to accept the tide of the times and made Soul Tool a key development focus, which led to the decline of the Tang Sect.
Douluo Continent II is precisely the highlight of Little Scumbag's reputation collapse. He engages in all sorts of disgusting acts, including but not limited to splitting his daughter's soul in two, ignoring the rule that the Divine Realm cannot interfere in the affairs of the lower realm, forcibly issuing a divine decree demanding that the Sun Moon Empire, which had swallowed up the Two Great Empires of Heavenly Soul and Fighting Spirit, be renamed the Heaven Dou Empire, continuing the state it had been in for ten thousand years, and various secret "plots" to manipulate the fate of others.
It could even be said that Huo Yuhao, the protagonist of Douluo II, was nothing more than a dog kept by the Tang Family. Every step from his birth to his eventual Becoming a God was meticulously arranged by Tang San, and his potential was also capped. After all, Tang San would not allow anyone in his family to surpass him.
The Douluo Continent plane directly became the Tang Family's backyard, with Tang San's father, Tang Hao, becoming the Plane Master and possessing immense power. Tang San's mother, the Blue Silver Emperor, became the Life Core of the Douluo Plane, her importance self-evident; it could be said that all life on the plane depended on the Life Core's power to grow.
However, these are all things for later. In this life, the formal contact between the Douluo Continent and Sun Moon Continent will not be delayed until four thousand years later, and Tang San will not become the all-powerful God King in the Divine Realm.
Su He put on her coat, pushed open the door and walked out of the main hall. She spread her Radiant Crystal Wings and quickly arrived at an open space directly opposite the Pope's Hall, where many people were already waiting. Even the two powerful figures, Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu, were present in person.
Below, Bibi Dong dispatched three near- Platinum Bishop at the Soul Douluo level, ten Red Cardinal, and dozens of Soul Emperors and Soul King —Soul Master the backbone of the Spirit Hall.
Among the elders, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, Flame Eagle Douluo Ling Yuan, and Serpent Spear Douluo She Long, who broke through the level 93 bottleneck, were also present. The three of them would serve as elders sent by the Spirit Hall to provide support.
The Worship Hall was not to be outdone, taking the principle of quality over quantity to its extreme. The Level Ninety-Nine Spirit Hall's Second Worship, Golden Crocodile Douluo, was like a silent giant mountain, exerting a tangible pressure on those around him.
The Eighth Enshrined and Ninth Enshrined Elders, two newly promoted level 96 powerhouses, Ghost Douluo Gui Mei and Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, were also dispatched by Qian Daoliu to accompany Su He and Qian Renxue. In total, the Spirit Hall sent a total of six Titled Douluo this time, three of whom were level 95 or above. Such a lineup was enough to flatten any Soul Master force in the Douluo Plane. Su He could only think of the Core Circle of the Star Dou Great Forest that could contend with them.
Taking on a thousand enemies single-handedly is not a difficult task for such a top-tier expert.
At the front of the main force, Qian Renxue was dressed in beautiful golden light armor, with the Angel Holy Sword on her back, looking every bit the aloof beauty. When she saw Su He, a smile appeared on her face.
"You broke through?"
Qian Renxue took Su He's hand, felt it for a moment, and then spoke with delight.
"Hmm, level 67."
Su He nodded and said.
Looking around, Su He saw that everyone was in place, so she turned to Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong, awaiting their final orders.
Qian Daoliu knew that this moment should belong to the Pope. He nodded to Bibi Dong, then spread his wings and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Bibi Dong nodded and delivered a passionate speech, ultimately assigning the position of expeditionary commander to Su He, which caused Su He to frown and sneer.
There are many Soul Douluo and Titled Douluo powerhouses here, yet Su He is asked to be the conspicuous one. It's hard to guarantee that some of these powerhouses won't be dissatisfied. And when it comes to the moment when the Spirit Hall has to determine who is superior, these people will all be Bibi Dong's helpers.
What a clever scheme!
But in the face of absolute power, everything else is just empty talk. Besides, Su He is confident that he can take over this mess completely without the help of his seniors who support him.
This expedition to the Sun Moon Continent began in Spirit City, located at the center of the Two Great Empires. After passing through the Heaven Dou Empire, they first arrived at Vast Sea City, the largest city in the western border of the Heaven Dou Empire and also the largest coastal and port city on the Douluo Continent. From there, they set sail from Vast Sea Port, the largest port on the Douluo Continent, passing through the Sea God Islands and several mysterious sea areas before finally landing on the Sun Moon Continent in the west of the Douluo Continent to explore.
The journey to Vast Sea City would take about ten days even if traveled at a fast pace. The Spirit Hall's higher-ups ultimately gave the expedition a full three-year timeframe, so Su He wasn't in a hurry at all. Instead, she chose to use the travel time to build good relationships and trust with the powerful figures who were going on this expedition, in order to prepare for the mission.
