Continental Unification, Family Matters Clarified
The news of Yu Yuanchen's emergence from seclusion spread like a spring breeze across the land, quickly reaching the upper echelons of the Douluo Federation.
The exhilaration and sense of security brought about by the return of a true deity, one that transcends ordinary First-level Deity, is unparalleled.
With his return, the massive machine of the Federation seemed to be infused with a new soul, operating more efficiently and with greater confidence.
In the following days, Yu Yuanchen did not immediately begin to deal with the matter of unifying the mainland.
He first had in-depth conversations with his father, Yu Mingfeng, and grandfather Yu Boxuan, to gain a detailed understanding of the specific developments of the Federation and the sect over the past ten years, and to have a clear grasp of the gains and losses in all aspects.
Subsequently, he personally summoned the core members of the Federal Council and the commanders of various legions to hear detailed reports on military affairs, economy, Soul Tool Technology, people's livelihood, and other aspects.
Listening to the clear and detailed reports from everyone, Yu Yuanchen nodded frequently.
Over the course of ten years, the Federation has indeed made significant progress based on his blueprint.
Soul Tool Technology has been deeply integrated with the Martial Way system, civilian technology has benefited hundreds of millions of people, the overall strength of Soul Master has been greatly improved, the territory has been steadily expanded, and internal governance is well-organized.
It can be said that the material and institutional foundations for unifying the continent have been solidified.
At the same time, he also made contact with Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen, who were far away on the Saint Demon Continent, through special channels.
Crossing the dimensional barrier with Divine Sense was no longer difficult for Yu Yuanchen after he reached the God King realm. He "saw" that Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen's experiences on the Saint Demon Continent were also magnificent.
After making up for some of the shortcomings they had accumulated before reaching level 100 in previous years (Qian Daoliu Liu's soul power and spirit were inferior to the Soul Blade, and Tang Chen's Soul Power and spirit were inferior to his physique), the two resolutely returned to the Saint Demon Continent in Douluo for a final sprint.
The place they chose to undergo their tribulation was also the Meteor Mountain Range. The Godhood Tribulation was also Seven-Colored Heavenly Tribulation, but whether it was the scale of the Tribulation Clouds, the power of the thunder, or the danger of the final Heart Demon Tribulation, it was inferior to what Yu Yuanchen had experienced back then.
Based on his belief in the light, Qian Daoliu merged with the Angel Divine Power. When he was undergoing tribulation, he was Holy Light Illumination, as if a god had descended to earth. In the end, he successfully inherited the Angel God Position.
However, in the process of inheriting the divine position, he incorporated his profound understanding of the ten principles of chivalry—humility, honesty, compassion, courage, justice, sacrifice, honor, perseverance, benevolence, and righteousness—into the God Position. This gave the originally somewhat singular Godhead of Light Judgment a deeper meaning of education, protection, and order, thus enhancing the potential of the God Position position. The Six-winged Angel Martial Soul also showed a tendency to Twelve-winged Seraphim.
Tang Chen proved his Dao through force. With his Divine Body honed through countless trials and his indomitable fighting spirit, he withstood the Heavenly Tribulation. The Clear Sky Hammer in his hands unleashed terrifying power to shatter stars, and he ultimately inherited the God Position of Destruction.
However, he did not rest on his laurels. He incorporated his love and understanding of the Divine Spark of forging into his divine nature, which gave the destruction a new meaning of "reshaping" and "creation". The divine weapon, Clear Sky Hammer, also evolved and can be called "God's Great Sumeru Hammer", with greatly increased potential.
That's right, it's not the God-level Clear Sky Hammer. In fact, Tang Chen's Clear Sky Hammer and the Clear Sky Hammer of other members of the Clear Sky Sect are no longer the same Martial Soul. Tang Chen's Clear Sky Hammer evolved long ago when he said he was condensing his Soul Core to break through to the Titled Douluo. It could be called the Great Sumeru Hammer, but he just didn't spread it.
After successfully transcending their tribulations, the two were able to steadily exert the strength of First-level Deity with the God Position positions. They stayed on the Saint Demon Continent for a period of time, on the one hand to consolidate their realm, and on the other hand, to secretly look after the Temple Alliance as entrusted by Yu Yuanchen, ensuring a smooth transition of the continent's situation after the Demon Race's migration.
Yu Yuanchen was greatly pleased to learn that his old friends had all succeeded. He sent them a message informing them of his departure from seclusion and his upcoming plan to promote the unification of the mainland, inviting them to return at the appropriate time to join in the grand undertaking. Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen readily agreed, stating that they would set off immediately after finishing their current tasks.
After dealing with these external matters, Yu Yuanchen's attention returned to his home, especially to the matter between his son Yu Yunting and that "Xue'er" girl.
Yu Yuanchen never expected such a melodramatic thing to happen to his own son, but as a father, he still had to eliminate the potential danger for his son.
He found an opportunity to have an in-depth father-son conversation with Yu Yunting. When facing his father, Yu Yunting shed the composure and sharpness he showed in front of others, revealing the sincerity and slight trepidation of a young man.
He recounted in detail how he met and fell in love with Xue'er, his words filled with affection for Xue'er and his hopes for their future together.
"Father, I know Xue'er has a mysterious background and has lost her memory, but I can feel her purity and Goodness. I truly love her and want to spend my life with her." Yu Yunting's gaze was firm.
Yu Yuanchen looked at his son, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He could easily use his God King powers to uncover the truth behind Snow Empress's sealed memories, and even forcibly seal or alter them completely to ensure that she would always be "Xue'er". But he disdained such things.
A true strong person possesses the courage and responsibility to face everything, whether it be good fortune or misfortune. Moreover, in matters of the heart, forcing or deceiving is ultimately a lowly approach.
After a moment's hesitation, Yu Yuanchen said to his son, "Yunting, you've grown up. You should choose your own path. I won't interfere with your feelings, but there are a few things you should remember."
"First, once a decision has been made, one must see it through to the end. No matter what happens in the future, one must not give up easily, nor let others down."
"Secondly, Miss Xue'er has lost her memory, which is a hidden danger. Have you ever considered what would happen if she regained her memory one day, her personality changed drastically, or even... her stance differed from yours? How would you handle that?"
"Third, regardless of who she was in the past, since she has chosen to be with you, you need to have enough strength to protect her and guide her into her new life."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yunting's expression turned solemn. After careful consideration, he solemnly said, "Father's teachings are etched in my heart. No matter what Xue'er's past was like, once I have chosen her, I will protect her for the rest of my life."
If her memories return, she has her past, and I have my principles. I will try my best to understand and communicate. If... it truly comes to an irreconcilable point," he paused, a resolute glint in his eyes, "I will respect her choice, but I will never let her be harmed. As for strength, I will diligently cultivate it and never fall behind!"
Seeing the maturity and responsibility in his son's eyes that were beyond his years, Yu Yuanchen nodded with satisfaction. "Good, now that you have this awareness, go and put it into practice."
After Yu Yunting left, Yu Yuanchen sat alone in silence. He finally made his move, but not in the way most people would expect—to seal or distort memories.
He gathered a wisp of pure Primordial Star Divine Power, containing the True Meaning of Law of "creation" and "guidance," and silently merged it into Xue'er's body, who was admiring flowers with Yu Yunyao in the garden.
This Divine Power did not forcefully break through the memory seal, but rather, like the gentlest spring rain, quietly nourished Xue'er's Divine Soul. With its unique "Yuanchen" Artistic Conception, it gradually guided the seemingly solid memory seal to produce an extremely subtle and natural "loosening".
This will allow Xue'er to gradually recall some fragmented memories of the "Snow Empress's " past as Cultivation Level cultivation level increases or she encounters specific opportunities in the future, rather than having her memories of the past ten years or so overwhelmed by hundreds of thousands of years of cold memories.
Whether it's a blessing or a curse, a blessing or a curse, let the young people experience and choose for themselves. All Yu Yuanchen can do is provide a relatively smooth transition, not decide their fate for them.
A few days later, Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen returned from the Saint Demon Continent. The three old friends reunited and naturally had a lot of feelings and a long talk. Feeling the vast divine Divine Might and even more profound Dao charm emanating from each other, they all laughed heartily. With three Spirit-level Expert in charge, the last piece of the puzzle for the Federation's unification of the continent was in place.
The plan for the reunification of the mainland has been officially launched.
Yu Yuanchen, Qian Daoliu, and Tang Chen did not choose to take action personally; the level of conflict was beyond his control. He remained in Purple Blazing Dragon City, overseeing the entire region. They simply went to the border towns bordering the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire respectively to release their divine pressure and power, hoping to make the high-ranking officials of the two empires recognize reality.
The Federation's war machine began to operate efficiently. Elite legions, which had been preparing for many years, advanced towards the borders of the two empires like a tidal wave, supported by Soul Tool Array and Soul Grandmaster. The offensive was not simply a brute force attack, but rather a combination of political persuasion and military pressure.
Faced with the overwhelming national power displayed by the Federation and the invisible deterrent of the three God Level beings, the high-ranking officials of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire were plunged into unprecedented panic and struggle.
Resistance? Not to mention that the Federation army's equipment and quality far surpass theirs, those three Gods -like figures alone are enough to shatter any will to resist. Stubborn resistance will only lead to national annihilation and extinction.
Surrender? How could the glory of imperial power, which had lasted for millennia, be so easily relinquished?
Following this, the Douluo Federation officially issued an ultimatum to the two great empires, clarifying its desire for peaceful unification, promising to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the royal families and nobles of both countries, granting the people equal Federation citizenship, and jointly building a new order of peace and prosperity.
The ultimatum was read aloud by the Speaker of the Federation in a calm tone, but behind it lay the terrifying intimidation of three Spirit-level Expert, as imposing as mountains and peaks.
The will to resist crumbled rapidly under the combined influence of Divine Might and appeasement.
Faced with an absolute disparity in strength and considerations for the future, the emperors of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, after a painful decision, ultimately chose the most rational path—unconditional surrender.
They knew all too well that before the will of the three gods, so-called imperial power and glory were nothing but illusions. To resist to the end would only increase casualties and be meaningless. Submitting to the powerful Federation might be the only way to secure a relatively stable future for their people.
In the year 2539 of the Douluo Calendar, the emperors of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire issued edicts respectively, announcing the dissolution of their empires and leading all their subjects to join the Douluo Federation. The edicts praised the advanced nature of the Federation system and the benevolence of His Majesty Yu Yuanchen, stating that this was "in accordance with the will of Heaven and the people, and an inevitable trend."
The news sent shockwaves across the continent. The vast majority of commoners and low-level Soul Master were overjoyed, for they had long admired the Federation's wealth, justice, and power. Only a few former nobles and vested interests gritted their teeth in secret, yet dared not make the slightest move.
The takeover of the Federation proceeded smoothly. The original imperial territory was divided into several provinces, and the Federation's laws, institutions, currency, and education system were quickly implemented. For the old nobles who were willing to cooperate, the Federation granted them certain preferential treatment and time to convert; for the stubborn ones, they were dealt with according to the law without any mercy.
The entire process was faster than anyone could have imagined. From the start of the plan to the formal declaration of submission by the two great empires, it took only a little over a month. There were no large-scale bloody battles, no major upheavals, Douluo Continent, a land that had been embroiled in conflict for tens of thousands of years, finally ushered in an unprecedented unification!
The Douluo Federation, a super power spanning the Douluo Continent and the Sun Moon Continent, with its vast territory, advanced system, and three Spirit-level Expert, has officially stood tall in the world!
In Dragon City, a grand celebration was held. The people rejoiced, celebrating the arrival of peace and unification. Although the three Spirit-level Expert, Yu Yuanchen, Qian Daoliu, and Tang Chen, did not attend the celebration in person, their statues were erected in the center of major cities in the Federation, revered by millions.
Standing atop the highest point of the Governor's Mansion, overlooking the brightly lit and Life Force New Life megacity below, Yu Yuanchen felt not much excitement, but rather a natural and calm acceptance.
For him, the unification of the mainland was merely a prelude to cleaning out the old house and welcoming new guests. His gaze had already been set on the vast starry sky and the supreme Divine Realm.
"The mundane affairs here are settled, it's time... to go and take a look at the Divine Realm." Yu Yuanchen murmured to himself. He sensed the direction of the Divine Realm, and a faint fluctuation came from the communication mark left by the God of Destruction, carrying a hint of approval and expectation.
