Just as Xian Lin'er was giving Mu En a detailed account of the information exposed by the Heavenly Curtain Monologue over the past few days, the curtain suspended high in the sky continued to broadcast the monologue concerning Ye Xishui.

Qian Duoduo, for his part, conscientiously watched the content on the curtain, making it easier to relay to his wife and teacher later.

[After the Mingdu explosion and the capture of the participating team members, a brief yet eerily peaceful period appeared on the continent.]

[Yes, the war had not yet fully erupted.]

[The reason was very simple. Xu Tianran's ascension to the throne had been too sudden; he needed to first stabilize the domestic situation, expand the army, and conduct pre-war mobilization. Only after these two aspects were properly handled could he confidently begin an all-out war against the original Douluo Three Kingdoms.]

[During this time, the Sun Moon Empire and my Holy Church were not worried about the original Douluo Three Kingdoms causing us much damage. After all, the futures of those forces were all in our custody. The tactic of 'hesitating to act for fear of consequences' proved to be extremely effective.]

[Just when I thought everything would go smoothly, an unexpected turn of events truly occurred!]

[Big Brother Mu's disciple, Shao Zhuang, who possessed the dual extreme attributes of holiness and judgment, became the greatest variable in this matter.]

[Shao Zhuang successfully found the water prison where the hostages were held in Rising Sun City. Not only did he restore the brainwashed 'Fire Phoenix Saintess' to her senses, but he also rescued all three hundred-plus hostages.]

[A martial soul with the dual extreme attributes of holiness and judgment was always a great enemy of my Holy Spirit Cult. Initially, out of consideration for Big Brother Mu's face and the fact that he was still a junior who couldn't decide the overall situation, we chose to let him off.]

[But Shao Zhuang's growth rate exceeded my expectations, and everyone else's.]

[At less than twenty years of age, his soul power had already reached over level seventy; astonishingly, he had condensed dual Soul Cores ahead of time and already possessed two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings... His actual combat strength crushed Soul Douluo, and even some ordinary Titled Douluo might not be his match!]

[If allowed to continue growing, he would undoubtedly become the Holy Spirit Cult's number one enemy, especially since his martial soul's attributes naturally countered Evil Soul Masters.]

[Therefore, when his trail was exposed in Rising Sun City, the Holy Spirit Cult's forces stationed there all focused their fire on Shao Zhuang.]

[Two Titled Douluo, one of whom was a Level Nine Soul Tool Master, along with the Sun Moon Empire's Beast King Level Soul Tool Master Legion of over a hundred men providing fire support... all to completely eliminate Shao Zhuang!]

[Even if it meant letting all the other hostages escape, as long as Shao Zhuang was successfully taken down, it would be worth it.]

[After all, the talent and potential Shao Zhuang had displayed were simply too monstrous; he had accomplished too many things that ordinary people could not. If he were allowed to keep growing, even I, a Limit Douluo, couldn't help but feel alarmed!!]

[If we missed this golden opportunity to eliminate Shao Zhuang early and let him escape, giving him time to grow, it would absolutely deal a devastating blow to my Holy Spirit Cult.]

It was clearly Ye Xishui's monologue, yet at this moment, it devoted a large portion to mentioning Shao Zhuang.

But no one felt the slightest bit of impropriety; instead, they found it perfectly normal.

Because judging from this reaction, Ye Xishui regarded Shao Zhuang as the Holy Spirit Cult's number one enemy, and she would naturally be extremely attentive to such an adversary.

As for Shao Zhuang, all the forces on the continent were no strangers to him.

In the previous monologues of Dragon God Douluo Mu En and Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao, they had already given everyone a thorough understanding of Shao Zhuang.

The disciple of Dragon God Douluo, possessing the Divine Beast Bi An martial soul with the dual extreme attributes of holiness and judgment, suspected of having a Second Martial Soul, and even having received a divine inheritance...

Any one of these alone would be enough to create an extraordinary genius;

But now that all these circumstances were concentrated on a single person, just how terrifying would that person's talent and potential be?

"That child Shao Zhuang must be recruited into my Star Luo Empire!"

Inside the Star Luo imperial palace, Emperor Xu Jiawei firmly settled on this thought in his heart.

The key to thwarting the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult lay with Shao Zhuang.

As long as he cultivated to the Titled Douluo realm, relying on his martial soul's advantages and profound foundation, he could annihilate many Evil Soul Masters!

Cutting off the Holy Spirit Cult's high-end combat power would then extinguish the Sun Moon Empire's desire to wage war.

After all, without high-end combat power to control the battlefield, relying solely on current Soul Tool Technology, the Sun Moon Empire would still find it very difficult to defeat the original Douluo Three Kingdoms.

Moreover, once Shao Zhuang stepped into the Super Douluo realm, just his presence alone, even if he did nothing, would serve as a deterrent to all Evil Soul Masters under heaven.

It was no exaggeration to say that if the original Douluo Three Kingdoms wanted to maintain their current stability in the future, it would all depend on Shao Zhuang, who would one day reach the Limit Douluo realm.

At that point, the Sun Moon Empire would inevitably hesitate to act for fear of consequences, daring not to reveal any ambition against the original Douluo Three Kingdoms.

The Douluo Continent would then enjoy another two hundred years of peace!!

On this point, the emperors of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms all coincidentally harbored similar thoughts.

'Most crucially, once Shao Zhuang becomes a powerhouse, he will also win more peaceful development time for our original Douluo Three Kingdoms. Then we can shorten the gap with the Sun Moon Empire as much as possible.' Xu Jiawei naturally also thought about future development time.

However, unlike the Star Luo Empire, which still had a decent sense of enterprise, the two empires of Tianhun and Dou Ling were practically coasting along like they were waiting to die.

They would rather pin their hopes on Shao Zhuang, who would become a powerhouse in the future, to maintain continental peace and continue living comfortably for another two hundred years.

They were unwilling to think of danger in times of peace, to develop vigorously under that future peace, and strive to close the gap with the Sun Moon Empire.

One could only say that with such an attitude, it would be a wonder if they weren't destroyed by the Sun Moon Empire!
