Feature	Value
Name	Federation (联邦), commonly the Douluo Federation
Occupation/Role	Continental governing state; military, political, and technological power
Status	Active
First Appearance	50

Background / History

The Federation developed on the Douluo Continent after the former Heaven Dou and Star Luo populations relocated overseas to the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Continents. Its technological and Soul Master development later surpassed those foreign states, particularly through Soul Spirits, Soul Tool transportation, and advanced military equipment. 50 52 206 215

Its historic conflict with the Holy Spirit Cult shaped its internal security system. The Federation and Spirit Pagoda previously used Soul Spirit monitoring to drive the Cult from Federation territory, leaving the Cult with less room to develop domestically than in the ocean or foreign continents. 52 242

The Federation once exhausted its metal reserves producing three God-Slaying Grade Soul Tool Cannonballs. The resulting resource shortage stalled technological progress for thousands of years, leading it to seal Source Spring research and prohibit related studies. 160 179

Government and Political Landscape

The Federation is governed through a Speaker, Parliament, Federal Council, and high-ranking executive officials. The Secretary-General, military leadership, and specialized departments exercise major authority in diplomacy, security, and wartime affairs. 215 275 376

Major political blocs

Bloc	Position on foreign war	Known support
Hawk Faction	Supports war against Star Luo and Heaven Dou	Temple of War God; Qian Gu Dongfeng and the Spirit Pagoda councilors under his influence; two of the Four Great Military Families 178
Dove Faction	Opposes foreign war	Shen Family; Shrek Academy; councilors aligned with Shrek 178
Neutral forces	Varying or undeclared positions	Le Family remained neutral; Mingde Hall had not publicly stated a position 178

Political disputes between Hawk and Dove interests delayed foreign war despite the Hawks gaining an advantage. 178

Major powers

The public recognizes four principal powers within the Federation:

• Spirit Pagoda — a commercially oriented organization that cooperates extensively with the Federation, though it retains substantial autonomy. 132 215
• Mingde Hall — Federation-affiliated Soul Tool institution; responsible for the lockdown of Shrek City. 174 275
• Temple of War God — gathering place for high-level experts and former guardian of the God-Slaying Grade Soul Tool Cannonballs. 153 319
• Shrek Academy — formerly maintained a nearly autonomous Shrek City, independent law-enforcement authority, and extensive influence across Federation society. 132 215 275

The Federation’s strength also includes the Four Great Military Families, eight military legions, influential sects, and entrenched regional family networks. The Shen Family, for example, holds deep influence over the North Sea Legion. 174 310

Military and Technology

Strategic weapons

• The Federation possessed three God-Slaying Grade Soul Tool Cannonballs, whose storage was overseen by the Mingde Hall Master, Temple of War God Master Chen Xinjie, and the Dark Department Minister. 153
• Eternal Heaven, its strongest God-Slaying Grade cannonball, was stolen during the attack on the Temple of War God. 275 276
• It later deployed the Level Ten Fixed Soul Tool Cannonball Sky-Splitting against Star Luo’s coastal defense line, creating a crater three kilometers wide and more than one hundred meters deep. 397
• The Federation fields a Red-grade mothership, whose power deters even Star Luo’s high-level combatants. 396

Technology and infrastructure

• Soul Aircraft provide more convenient transport than Star Luo’s colossal ships. 215
• The Federation possesses space-exploration technology but historically lacked a qualified energy source to power spacecraft. 179
• It imposed a technological blockade on the Dou Spirit Empire and Star Luo Federation. 381
• The Star Dou Battle Net system supports virtual combat assessment, including the combat stages of the Federation Selection. 319

Shrek Crisis

After Heaven’s Favor Douluo attacked the Temple of War God and Eternal Heaven was stolen, Parliament accused Shrek Academy’s upper ranks of colluding with Star Luo through fund transfers, sensitive Soul Tool technology transfers, and Soul Spirit transactions. 275

The Federation responded with the following measures:

• Imposed Mingde Hall’s highest-level lockdown on Shrek City and its affiliated areas, cutting land routes, airspace, and information networks. 275
• Froze Shrek-affiliated assets, accounts, and research projects pending audit. 275
• Suspended Shrek graduates serving in Federation and municipal offices for review. 275
• Offered Shrek residents, students, and elders temporary protected identities, resettlement, and assistance if they left and registered through official channels. 275
• Required departing Soul Masters to undergo Dark Department-style reviews and temporarily unbind and re-contract their thousand-year Soul Spirits. 275
• Requested Spirit Pagoda assistance in managing public opinion and preventing social panic. 275

Despite its anger toward Shrek, the Federation avoided immediate full-scale war because Shrek’s influence extended through the military, government, commerce, academia, and research. A direct purge risked crippling or splintering the Federation and benefiting its enemies. 275 296

Federation Selection

Following Shrek’s destruction, Chen Xinjie’s defection, and the approaching threats of Star Luo, Dou Ling, the Holy Spirit Cult, and the Abyss, the Federation launched a continent-wide public selection. 319
