Xu Tianran's Beautiful Dream
Two days later, at night.
In a valley about two thousand miles from the Mingdou Mountain Range, a few tents were scattered about.
In such a desolate place, it's rare for anyone to stay, but today more than a dozen level eight and Rank 9 Soul Master, who are usually hard to find, have come.
These Soul Engineer had only one task: to protect the most esteemed person in the Sun Moon Empire within the central camp.
Because he is the Sun Moon Emperor — Xu Tianran.
This time, Xu Tianran did not travel in a grand manner to the Mingdou Battlefield. Instead, he secretly led more than a dozen powerful Soul Engineer to the front line.
With so many level eight and nine Soul Engineer around, and even Kong Deming Level Ten Soul Master, Xu Tianran felt safe and secure unless Deity intervened.
Standing in front of the tent, Xu Tianran took a deep breath of the mountain air and thoroughly enjoyed it.
In his forty-odd years of life, especially after being betrayed by his brothers in his youth, which left him disabled from the waist down and unable to travel far from home.
If it weren't for the rapid development of Soul Tool, he would still be unable to walk upright and would be confined to a wheelchair.
However, even so, he still lost one of the most important abilities a man can have.
Every time Xu Tianran thought of this, he felt a burning hatred.
Therefore, he could only focus all his energy on the great cause of unifying Douluo.
Only by standing at the pinnacle of human existence and wielding supreme power can one say that their life has not been in vain, and that they can still become a legendary hero and emperor whose name will be remembered for generations.
Now, conquering Ming Dou is imminent, and within half a year, we will surely take over the entire Star Luo Empire.
Therefore, after receiving Ju Zi's report and suggestions, Xu Tianran came.
Xu Tianran was actually quite satisfied with the fact that Ju Zi had personally handed him the fruits of victory in the final battle.
He understood that Ju Zi was always very sensible and knew how to conduct herself appropriately; otherwise... Ju Zi would truly be a wonderful Empress.
Feeling the cool breeze in the mountains, Xu Tianran said with some contentment, "Elder Kong, tell me, after unifying the Douluo Continent, I will be able to openly travel the world and see more of its wonders. How wonderful that would be!"
Kong Deming, who had been quietly watching over Xu Tianran, calmly replied, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the day of unifying Douluo is not far off. Your Majesty's personal campaign this time will surely allow you to conquer the Star Luo Empire within six Sun Moon. With Your Majesty and Empress, the nation is truly blessed."
Upon hearing this, Xu Tianran laughed heartily, "That's right, I'm about to accomplish this great feat that no one has been able to achieve in thousands of years, hahaha!"
After a pause, Xu Tianran quickly suppressed his smile and asked with narrowed eyes, "Elder Kong, tell me, how should I treat Shrek after I become the ruler of the Douluo Continent?"
In fact, he wasn't asking about Shrek, since Shrek was just an academy and didn't play much of a role for the Empire.
He asked how to treat Zhou Huan, how to treat a Deity left behind in the human world.
Kong Deming replied solemnly, "Respect them, but keep your distance."
Upon hearing this, Xu Tianran frowned slightly and asked, "Are Deity really that powerful?"
Kong Deming nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, the power of Deity is far beyond that of an ordinary person. To put it this way, even before I saw him, just a wisp of his aura was enough to immobilize me."
"Therefore, it is impossible for mortals to defeat Deity. No matter how many armies or how many Soul Tool we have, it will be useless unless we can upgrade our Soul Tool to level eleven, twelve, or even higher."
"But right now, let alone level eleven, even Level 10 Soul Tool would take me a long time to actually create."
"In short, we can't provoke the Deity. Anyway, that Deity doesn't concern himself with war."
Kong Deming knew his emperor very well. Xu Tianran was never willing to be subordinate to anyone, not even Deity. Call him a ruthless hero or a madman, but that was just the kind of person Xu Tianran was.
Therefore, having witnessed Zhou Huan's power, Kong Deming had no choice but to remind Xu Tianran on this matter, even if it offended the emperor's dignity by speaking too much.
After all, if Xu Tianran really stubbornly went to provoke Zhou Huan, then he might as well die, since he couldn't inherit the bloodline of the Sun Moon Royal Family anyway. But Kong Deming was worried that Zhou Huan would take the opportunity to wipe out the entire Sun Moon Royal Family.
Listening to Kong Deming's long-winded explanation, Xu Tianran's eyes flickered involuntarily for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and smiled, "Don't worry, Elder Kong, I'm not foolish enough to confront Deity- on. The most important thing right now is to take over the Star Luo Empire and unify Douluo."
In his heart, he was actually thinking that he absolutely had to go to Shrek, and he also had to meet the Deity.
Because current Soul Tool technology simply cannot make him a real man.
Xu Tianran had two dreams in his life: one was to unify the Douluo Continent and become a true Douluo monarch; the other was to become a real man again.
Once the first dream is achieved, it's natural to move on to the next one.
Since Zhou Huan is Deity, he should have the ability to restore his damaged body; otherwise, what makes him a god?
As for what conditions to use to persuade Zhou Huan, Xu Tianran felt that when he held the entire Douluo in his hands, what couldn't he give Zhou Huan? He would always find a way to convince Zhou Huan.
In Xu Tianran's view, both humans and gods have desires.
Kong Deming was unaware that this sickly emperor harbored such thoughts; otherwise, he would have slapped him to death and then allowed Xu Yunhan to ascend the throne.
Deity? Are they beings that would listen to you? And you're talking about conditions? What good is it if you're the Douluo Monarch?
It can only be said that Xu Tianran, who has never truly faced the power of Deity, still tries to understand a god from the perspective of human nature. Little does he know that in the face of absolute power, all calculations are castles in the air.
Unfortunately, Kong Deming thought his reminder was effective, and Xu Tianran also expressed his opinion.
So Kong Deming said, "It's good that Your Majesty understands; this puts my mind at ease."
Xu Tianran maintained his professional fake smile, "It's late, Elder Kong, go and rest. This is a desolate valley, and we're traveling in secret, so there shouldn't be any problems. Besides, there are so many level eight and nine Soul Engineer here."
Kong Deming nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, this old minister will take his leave now..."
However, before he could finish speaking, ten beams of white light streaked across the night sky like shooting stars, shooting straight down into the valley—
Among them, the brightest white light exuded an aura of death that even Kong Deming feared.
Nine level -Level Eight Soul Tool Shell, accompanied by one Level Nine Soul Tool Shell, crashed down with a deafening roar!
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
Boom!!!
Boom!!!
What followed was a blinding white light that illuminated half the sky, and a terrifying explosion that shook the surrounding area for miles!
