Yu Yuanchen's grand vision of a "Federal Republic," "Unification of the Sun Moon Continent," and "Integration of the Two Realms" ignited a raging fire in the hearts of Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen. Although they were already among the strongest in the world, they were in their fifties, the perfect age to take risks.

In the past, on the Douluo Continent, many ideas were difficult to implement due to the complex balance of power among various factions, and the status quo could only be maintained. Now, on this relatively "blank" New Continent, Yu Yuanchen's concept undoubtedly provides them with an excellent stage to fully display their talents and create a new order!

Several days later, three Daoliu pierced the sky and silently entered the territory of the Purple Blazing Tribe.

The deeper they ventured into the heart of the Purple Blazing Tribe, the more distinct the atmosphere became compared to that of the Oak Tribe. The cities they passed along the way, all belonging to the Purple Blazing Tribe, had taller and more sturdier walls, and the Soul Tool deployed on the walls were not only more numerous but also emitted significantly stronger energy fluctuations.

Yu Yuanchen used his Divine Sense to investigate briefly and discovered that the core formations of these city-protecting Soul Tool were more complex and sophisticated, and their energy circuits were more efficient and stable. Their power was enough to threaten a Soul Sage- level expert, and they had already reached the level of Level Seven Soul Tool.

Moreover, each city has at least one Soul Sage- level aura presiding over it, maintaining order. The expressions of merchants, Soul Master, and commoners coming and going in and out of the city, while not exactly wealthy, are less like the precarious fear under the rule of the Oak Tribe, and more like a sense of stability.

"This Purple Blazing Tribe is quite something," Tang Chen commented, stroking his chin. "They're far superior to the Oak Tribe. It seems these Three Great Tribes do indeed have some foundation."

Qian Daoliu nodded slightly. "Only by combining Soul Tool technology with the power of Soul Master can such order be maintained in this environment. This tribal chief is no ordinary person."

Ye Zhilan also said softly, "Although the people in the city are not wealthy, at least they have basic security. It's not easy to have managed to operate here on this continent surrounded by Soul Beast."

A hint of approval flashed in Yu Yuanchen's eyes. He could see the bigger picture from the small details; the governance of the Purple Blazing Tribe was indeed far superior to that of the Oak Tribe, and its leader must be a capable and farsighted person. This made him even more eager for the "negotiations" to come.

Soon, a majestic city appeared on the horizon. The city walls were over fifty meters high, and the entire structure was built of huge stones with a pale purple luster, which shone brightly in the sunlight.

On the city walls, dense arrays of Soul Guidance Cannon gleamed with a dangerous light, and a thick, pale purple Energy Shield enveloped the entire city, its energy level reaching the level of Level Eight Soul Tool. Several powerful auras emanated from within the city, the strongest of which, as deep and imposing as a mountain, had already reached the level of Titled Douluo!

This is Dragon City, the capital of the Purple Blazing Tribe.

When Chief Oak mentioned that the capital of the Purple Blazing Tribe was named Dragon City, Tang Chen and the others looked at Yu Yuanchen with strange expressions, finding it somewhat amusing. They never expected that it would share the same name as the lair of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Yu Yuanchen shook his head and smiled, unconcerned. "Although it's a coincidence, having the same name isn't necessarily a bad thing. Perhaps it just means this place is destined for me." His gaze swept over the majestic city shrouded in purple mist, a meaningful glint flashing in his eyes.

The group remained undisturbed by the city's defenses, quietly infiltrating the city with their Cultivation Level. The city was even more bustling, with wide streets and buildings that, while still predominantly stone, were more exquisitely designed. Shops lined the streets, and the number and Cultivation Level of Soul Master were noticeably higher. Occasionally, patrolling guards clad in standard Soul Tool Armor could be seen.

Yu Yuanchen's Divine Sense locked onto the palace complex, which was the most vital and luxurious part of the city. That was the power center of the Purple Blazing Tribe and the residence of the Titled Douluo leader.

"This time, the opponent is Titled Douluo. Forcibly taking him might cause complications and be counterproductive," Yu Yuanchen pondered. "We should show ourselves and lure him out for a talk."

He found a secluded royal garden near the palace complex and gestured for everyone to wait there. Then, instead of completely concealing his aura, he deliberately released a pure and vast dragon's Dragon Might at the level of Titled Douluo, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, clearly pointing towards the garden.

This unfamiliar yet powerful aura of Titled Douluo suddenly appeared in the Core Zone of Dragon City, instantly alarming those deep within the palace!

A moment later, a streak of purple light shot into the sky from the depths of the palace, carrying an expression of surprise and solemnity, and sped toward the garden.

The light faded, revealing an elderly man dressed in a magnificent purple robe, with a lean face, sharp eyes, and white hair and beard, yet still standing tall and straight as a pine tree. He exuded the immense pressure befitting Titled Douluo, and was none other than Xu Yu, the current leader of the Purple Blazing Tribe!

The other party lingered their presence in a secluded courtyard within the city, clearly intending to lure him there. Was it a trap? Xu Yu was on high alert.

But then he thought again, this was Dragon City after all, his territory. The city was filled with array formations and experts everywhere. He himself was a level 94 peak Power Attack System Titled Douluo, and Martial Soul martial soul, the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon, was a super Beast Martial Soul. He was confident that even if he was no match for the enemy, he could escape without any problem. If he didn't go, it would seem cowardly.

Xu Yu hovered in mid-air, his gaze sharp as lightning, sweeping over the six figures in the garden before finally settling on Yu Yuanchen, who stood at the very front. He demanded in a deep voice, "Who are you? Why do you trespass into my Purple Blazing Dragon City?"

He was utterly shocked. Of the six people before him, he couldn't fathom the strength of the three leaders! Especially the man at the very front, whose aura was as vast and unfathomable as the sea! The other two, one with a restrained Holy Light and the other with a domineering aura, also brought him a strong sense of pressure.

These three are definitely stronger than him! When did so many unfamiliar powerful figures appear on the Sun Moon Continent?

An even more terrifying thought surged into his mind: such terrifying Dragon Might... Could they be Ferocious Beast -level True Dragon in human form, infiltrating our Human Race capital? What are they planning to do?! Clearly, he had also mistaken Yu Yuanchen and the others for Ferocious Beast.

Upon hearing this, Yu Yuanchen and the others exchanged bewildered glances, finding it both amusing and exasperating. Why did the people of the Sun Moon Continent always treat them like Soul Beast?

Helpless, they had no choice but to let Tang Chen reveal his Martial Soul again, but just like last time, he didn't show his full strength.

Xu Yu sensed Tang Chen's imposing aura, and a hint of shock and regret flashed in his eyes. "This aura... at least... that of Super Douluo of level 97 or higher?! I should have brought my Ancestral Artifact." He thought to himself.

Super Douluo! In the thousands of years of history of the entire Sun Moon Continent, there are only a handful of clearly recorded Super Douluo, practically none. And now, they've appeared alive before him, and with... Weapon Soul?!

"Now, is it believable?" Tang Chen put away his Martial Soul and said calmly.

Yu Yuanchen stood with his hands behind his back, his tone calm. "Chief Xu Yu, there's no need to be nervous. We mean no harm; we are travelers from the overseas Douluo Continent, here to pay our respects."

"Overseas? Douluo Continent?" Xu Yu's pupils contracted slightly. He had never heard of such a thing before, but that Weapon Soul was undeniable; it was definitely not Soul Beast Transformation. He felt slightly relieved, but his vigilance remained. He slowly retreated, maintaining a safe distance. "Visitors from overseas? May I ask what brings you all here?"

"I've come for cooperation, and also for... the future of the Human Race on the Sun Moon Continent." Yu Yuanchen cut to the chase, his gaze calm as he looked at Xu Yu. "Chief Xu, what do you think of the current situation of the Human Race on the Sun Moon Continent?"

Xu Yu dared not put on a brave face, and could only reply, "Naturally, I can only struggle to survive under the claws and teeth of Soul Beast."

Yu Yuanchen spoke at the opportune moment, his voice carrying an undeniable authority and allure. "Chief Xu, the predicament of the Human Race on the Sun Moon Continent is not a recent phenomenon. Relying solely on the Three Great Tribes fighting independently will eventually reach its limit. We have come here to assist the Human Race of the Sun Moon Continent in breaking this millennia-old predicament! To unify the continent, consolidate our strength, drive out the Soul Beast, and usher in a golden age where everyone is like a dragon!"

"Unify the continent?" Xu Yu gasped, stunned by this enormous ambition. "Your Majesty... what do you mean by this?"

"What I mean is," Yu Yuanchen said, his gaze sharp as he looked directly at Xu Yu, " that the Purple Blazing Tribe is willing to be the initiator and join us in this grand undertaking?"

Xu Yu was terrified, his expression shifting rapidly. Unifying the continent? The temptation was immense, but the risks were equally enormous! He stared intently at Yu Yuanchen: "Your Majesty... what is your Cultivation Level? And how can you convince us that you possess such ability?"

Yu Yuanchen, Qian Daoliu, and Tang Chen exchanged a glance. The three of them no longer concealed their presence, and three terrifying auras, vast as an abyss and transcending the mortal realm, suddenly erupted!

Boom!

Purple-Gold Lightning shot into the sky from Yu Yuanchen's body, and a faint phantom of Holy Dragon dragon coiled behind him. His aura was far stronger than that of an ordinary Titled Douluo, as if he were a god who wielded heavenly punishment!

Qian Daoliu image of Six-winged Angel appeared, Holy Light Illumination, exuding divine majesty and Purification everything!

Tang Chen's true form with the Haotian Hammer was revealed, its domineering and unparalleled power seemingly capable of suppressing mountains and rivers!

The combined pressure of the three Titled Douluo was like the sky collapsing and the earth sinking, instantly suppressing Xu Yu's Titled Douluo aura to nothing! Xu Yu groaned and took several steps back, his face drained of color, his eyes filled with unparalleled horror and fear!

"This, this power, could this be the legendary Titled Douluo, or, three... Titled Douluo?!" His voice was hoarse and distorted with extreme shock.

Titled Douluo! This is a legendary realm! There hasn't been a single recorded Titled Douluo in the entire history of the Sun Moon Continent, and now three have appeared at once!

"Now, are you willing to join?" Yu Yuanchen concealed his aura and asked calmly.

Xu Yu gasped for breath, the turmoil in his heart unable to Jiujiu. Three Titled Douluo! This was absolute power enough to sweep across the Sun Moon Continent! Faced with such beings, any resistance was futile! Moreover, they weren't Soul Beast, but fellow Human Race powerhouses, and it seemed... they truly came with goodwill?

He struggled to lift his head, looking at Yu Yuanchen and the other two whose breathing had returned to normal, and said bitterly, "Your Excellencies... your supernatural powers are unparalleled, I... admire you. However, unifying the continent is a matter of great importance, involving the survival of countless tribes, and is by no means an easy task. May I ask Your Excellencies... what specific plans you have?"

Seeing that Xu Yu's attitude had softened, Yu Yuanchen knew that the time was right, so he began to "paint a picture": "There will naturally be a charter. It is not a simple conquest by force, but the establishment of a ' Federation '. All tribes will be united to form an alliance, and a parliament will be established to discuss important matters together."

The alliance will oversee the army, laws, and research on Soul Tool. Each tribe will retain a degree of autonomy. Advanced cultivation methods will be promoted, and Soul Master organizations not controlled by a single family will be established to benefit all citizens. We will provide the Douluo Continent with more advanced cultivation techniques, technologies, and systems to aid the rapid development of the Human Race on the Sun Moon Continent."

He paused, his gaze falling on Xu Yu with a meaningful look. "The Purple Blazing Tribe's Martial Soul is a dragon, which is somewhat similar to my Thunder Sacred Dragon Martial Soul."

If you lead the Purple Blazing Tribe to join first, you will be a founding hero. In the future alliance, the Purple Blazing Tribe's status will certainly not be low. And you, Xu Yu, may have the opportunity to rise even higher."

"Reach a higher level!" These four words struck Xu Yu's heart like a heavy hammer! He had been stuck at level 94 for many years and knew all too well how difficult the road ahead would be.

If there really is an opportunity... Moreover, the "Federation" system proposed by the other side doesn't seem to be about annexation, but rather about cooperation and mutual benefit, preserving the heritage of each tribe... More importantly, the strength of the three Titled Douluo is right in front of us; to not submit is to perish!

The weighing of pros and cons happened in an instant. Xu Yu took a deep breath, seemingly aging a few years in that instant, or as if a thousand-pound burden had been lifted from his shoulders. He straightened his robes, stepped forward, and solemnly bowed to Yu Yuanchen, Qian Daoliu, and Tang Chen:

"Xu Yu, the leader of the Purple Blazing Tribe, is willing to lead his entire tribe to submit to the three Your Majesties! He is willing to serve the New Life of the Human Race on the Sun Moon Continent with utmost loyalty!"

Seeing Xu Yu submit, Yu Yuanchen and the other two exchanged smiles. The first step had been taken steadily.

"Chief Xu, please rise. From now on, you are one of us." Yu Yuanchen offered a slight gesture of support, his tone much gentler. "Tell us in detail about the current situation of the Three Great Tribes, especially the current state of Soul Tool technology."

The group found a pavilion to sit down. Xu Yu had already adjusted his mindset. Since he had decided to pledge allegiance, he would no longer hold back and would reveal everything he knew.

According to him, the Three Great Tribes have a long history, and the Martial Soul of the Zihuang, Golden Sun, and Silver Moon tribes are different, but all are top-tier. The Purple Blazing Tribe, with its powerful Purple Blazing Sky-Destroying Dragon Martial Soul, has produced the most Titled Douluo in history and is the strongest overall. Although the Golden Sun Tribe's Sun Martial Soul and the Silver Moon Tribe's Moon Martial Soul are slightly inferior, their lineage is relatively stable, with more Soul Sage and Soul Douluo among their core members, and they have a deep foundation.

"Titled Douluo ...not every generation can produce one." Xu Yu sighed. "I am seventy-three years old this year, and I only managed to break through five years ago by sheer luck. If no one in the tribe can break through to this realm before my lifespan runs out, or if the seed of a titled Douluo is accidentally lost, then I will have to rely on the assistance of the Golden Sun and Silver Moon tribes to get through the period of weakness. There are precedents for such things in history."

When talking about Soul Tool, Xu Yu's expression was complex yet proud. "The Soul Tool Technology of my Three Great Tribes has indeed reached its peak. Level 7 and Level Eight Soul Tool can be stably produced and equipped for the army. But Level Nine Soul Tool..." He shook his head.

"To create Level Nine Soul Tool, the creator must reach the level of Titled Douluo, possess a profound understanding of the Dao of Soul Tools, and also require a sliver of inspiration and fortuitous encounter. The creation of each Level Nine Soul Tool is a unique masterpiece that cannot be replicated. My Purple Blazing Tribe has been passed down for thousands of years, exhausting all its resources, and to this day, we have only successfully created four Level Nine Soul Tool, which we regard as our clan's most treasured possessions."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yuanchen and the others nodded slightly. This aligned with their assessment. While the Soul Tool Technology of the Sun Moon Continent had advanced in terms of "mass production" and "widespread adoption," it had encountered a bottleneck in the production of top-tier masterpieces, limited by materials, theoretical limitations, and especially the ceiling of the maker's Cultivation Level and comprehension. This was precisely where the powerhouses of the Douluo Continent could bring about a breakthrough!

"Four Level Nine Soul Tool... not bad." Yu Yuanchen praised, then changed the subject, "Chief Xu, next, we need your cooperation to contact the leaders of the Golden Sun and Silver Moon tribes. Whether to fight or make peace is their choice. The path to unification of the Sun Moon Continent will begin with your Three Great Tribes."

Xu Yu's heart skipped a beat, knowing that a real storm was about to break, but now that he was on this ship, he could only move forward resolutely. "Yes! Xu Yu understands! I will do my best to make this happen!"

Yu Yuanchen gazed into the distance, his eyes seemingly piercing through layers of void, seeing the Sunset Plains of the Golden Sun Tribe and the Moonlight Forest of the Silver Moon Tribe.
