Cannot tolerate two suns? Transfer to Douluo Continent!

Kong Yan heard this, and a look of worry surfaced on her face. She walked over to the father and son, whispering softly:

"Yu is right.

The prestige of the Prince's Mansion is growing by the day, and with Zhao'er's heaven-defying talent on top of that.

Although the Emperor shows nothing on the surface, he has already begun to secretly curtail the military power of the Prince's Mansion.

He has even started placing obstacles on the funding for Soul Tool research."

"If things continue like this, I fear..."

Kong Yan did not continue, but her meaning was already clear.

When a subject's merit overshadows the sovereign, it has been a recipe for disaster since ancient times.

Xu Zhao watched his parents' worried expressions, yet his heart remained completely calm.

He naturally knew just how wary his uncle, who sat upon the throne, was of his family.

A 98th-rank Prince for a brother, and a monstrous nephew who reached the 94th rank at twenty years old.

Add to that the several Title Douluo retainers under the Prince's Mansion, as well as the support of his mother's family, the Kong Clan, in the field of Soul Tools.

This power was already enough to topple the imperial authority.

However, Xu Zhao had no intention of staging a coup like Xu Tianran and his father from the original history.

"Father, Mother, there is no need to worry."

Xu Zhao spoke calmly, his voice imbued with the composure of one who controlled everything.

Xu Zhao walked to the center of the main hall, looking at his parents with burning eyes, and said slowly:

"If the Imperial Uncle wants this Sun Moon Empire to remain secure forever, and wants to sit firmly on this throne, then we shall give it to him."

Xu Yu and Kong Yan were both stunned.

"Give it to him?

Zhao'er, what do you mean..."

Xu Yu frowned deeply.

"Are you suggesting we hand over our military power and cripple our own strength?

That is absolutely impossible!

I, Xu Yu, would rather die in battle than live in such humiliation!"

"Of course not."

Xu Zhao shook his head, a flash of brilliance in his eyes. He raised his hand and pointed toward the east, the direction of the ocean.

"Father, although the Sun Moon Continent is vast, in your son's eyes, it is still too small."

"Small enough that it cannot contain two suns."

Xu Zhao's voice gradually became impassioned, carrying a convincing magic:

"Since the Imperial Uncle cannot tolerate us, why must we insist on fighting to the death with our own kin over this tiny patch of land?"

"I have already ordered the construction of an ocean-going Soul Tool fleet and have stockpiled sufficient resources."

"Where we are going is to the other side of the sea."

"There, there lies a land more vast and fertile than the Sun Moon Continent, one that has yet to be conquered by Soul Tool civilization: the Douluo Continent!"

Upon hearing the words "Douluo Continent," Xu Yu and Kong Yan exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

Legends of a continent across the sea had always been recorded in the Sun Moon Empire.

But no one had ever truly crossed the Sea of Death, which was teeming with Sea Soul Beasts, on a large scale.

"Zhao'er, are you serious?"

Xu Yu asked in a deep voice, "Migrating the entire clan and crossing the ocean, the risks involved..."

"Father, risk and opportunity coexist."

Xu Zhao stood with his hands behind his back, the 94th-rank soul power fluctuation on his body faintly harmonizing with the momentum of heaven and earth, as if a young emperor were pointing out the landscape.

"As far as I know, although that continent has many soul masters, it is in a primitive age regarding Soul Tool technology."

"If we go there with the most advanced Soul Tool technology and the top combat power of the Prince's Mansion, it will be no different from gods descending to earth!"

"Rather than being a prince suspected by others here, it is better to go there and establish our own, truly unified empire!"

Speaking of this, Xu Zhao paused, a meaningful arc curling at the corner of his mouth as he whispered:

"Besides, I have a premonition."

"On that continent, there is a great opportunity that belongs to me.

An opportunity that will allow me to break through the 100th level, and perhaps... touch the Divine Realm!"

Hearing the words "Divine Realm," Xu Yu's breathing instantly became heavy.

He had been stuck at the 98th rank for many years.

In his entire life, he had only dared to dream of reaching level 99.

He knew all too well how difficult that final step was.

If his son could truly become a god...

Xu Yu suddenly raised his head, the hesitation in his eyes swept away, replaced by an unprecedented resolve and domineering aura.

"Fine!"

"Since my son has such grand ambitions, your father will go crazy with you!"

"To hell with the Sun Moon Empire royal family, to hell with all the backstabbing!"

"Pass on my orders!"

Xu Yu waved his hand, his voice like thunder.

"All personnel of the Great Sun Prince Mansion, enter level one combat readiness immediately!

Summon all retainers and guest elders!

We are going to... conquer a new world!"

Several days later.

The relocation order from the Great Sun Prince Mansion was like a depth charge, causing a massive uproar among the upper echelons of the Sun Moon Empire.

The tense situation, which had been on the verge of civil war, suddenly dissolved in a way no one had expected.

Inside the mansion, things were busy but orderly.

Countless rare metal resources, high-level soul beast meat, and the accumulated heritage of the Great Sun Prince Mansion were being continuously transported onto the massive Soul Tool fleet already docked at the harbor.

At the same time, the Kong Family, where Kong Yan belonged, also made a shocking decision.

As the premier Soul Master family of the Sun Moon Empire, the head of the Kong Family understood the principle of "a cunning rabbit has three burrows."

Seeing that his grandson Xu Zhao possessed peerless talent and such grand ambition, the head of the Kong Family, after talking all night with several clan elders, made a resolute decision—

Split the family!

The Kong Family allocated their youngest and most creative branch, along with several level seven and level eight core Soul Masters.

They also provided ten full ships of Soul Tool blueprints and core array materials, all assigned to Kong Yan to accompany the Great Sun Prince Mansion on their expedition.

This was not just support for his daughter, but a massive gamble.

If they won the bet, the Kong Family would spread its branches to another continent and become a top-tier powerhouse across two continents.

The Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.

"Are you saying that my second brother is really moving house?

He even handed over the land deeds to his mansion?"

Emperor Xu Huang of the Sun Moon Empire looked at the secret report in his hands, his face, which usually showed no emotion, now filled with astonishment and... unbelievable joy.

The leader of the secret guards kneeling on the ground said in a deep voice:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is absolutely true.

The fleet of the Great Sun Prince Mansion is already prepared to set sail, and a portion of the Kong Family is accompanying them.

It looks like they are determined to cross the ocean to find that legendary continent."

"Hahahaha!

Good!

Very good!"

Xu Huang stood up abruptly, unable to stop himself from laughing out loud, laughing until tears almost came to his eyes.

For these past years, he had lived as an emperor in constant frustration!

His brother Xu Yu was stronger than him, his nephew Xu Zhao had more talent than his own son, and the prestige of the Great Sun Prince Mansion was at its zenith.

He could not sleep at night, terrified that one day he would wake up and find someone else sitting on his throne.

But now, this thorn in his side was actually leaving on its own?

And they were going to that vast, perilous ocean to conquer some unknown continent?

"My good nephew is truly my lucky star!"

Xu Huang was in a great mood, waving his hand with grand, heroic spirit:

"Pass on my decree!

Prince Great Sun Xu Yu and Heir Xu Zhao have the empire in their hearts and ambitions that span the world!

To promote our national prestige, they have decided to cross the ocean and expand the territory for the empire!

This is an act of great loyalty and righteousness, and it shall serve as an example for all generations!"
