With the support of the Sun Moon Empire's soul-guided industrial system, the lives of ordinary people were significantly improved.
In fact, in the territories occupied by the Sun Moon Empire, the living standards and material conditions of commoners improved rapidly. The swift popularization of civilian Soul Tools brought about countless conveniences.
The property of the nobility from the original three empires was plundered and confiscated by the Sun Moon Empire's army, or they were simply killed during conflicts. To the commoners, this meant little; in fact, they secretly felt it was a good thing.
Therefore, the resistance to the Sun Moon Empire unifying the Douluo Continent was not as great as Shrek Academy had imagined.
Or rather, the root cause of their refusal to accept the Sun Moon Empire's unification of the Douluo Continent was simply that Shrek Academy feared losing its status as the supreme ruler of the entire Douluo Continent, losing the ability to manipulate national politics at will, and no longer being able to exploit the wealth of the entire continent to the extreme!
Ironically, just as Huo Yuhao's greatest enemy, Dai Hao, was about to be killed by a sword strike from his "ex-girlfriend" Ju Zi, countless people in the Sun Moon Empire—especially those living on the border—watched the scene with glowing eyes and applauded in delight.
There were countless Sun Moon Empire border commoners like Ju Zi's father who had died in Dai Hao's massacres. For this foreign "White Tiger War God", the people of the Sun Moon Continent harbored deep-seated hatred!
However, at that very moment, Huo Yuhao suddenly intervened, ruining Ju Zi's plans! Dai Hao was saved by Huo Yuhao, escaping the vengeance of his pursuer.
Seeing this, countless people felt a sense of absurd incredulity. After all, the reason this youth had risked everything to leave home, break into the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts, and become a soul master was precisely to take revenge on this man—to take revenge on the White Tiger Duke Mansion that had forced his mother to her death and humiliated him throughout his entire childhood.
Yet now, Huo Yuhao had saved Dai Hao from the hands of a woman who shared a blood feud with him, shielding Dai Hao behind his own back! He looked just like a truly filial son!
Then, Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong, who had perfectly replicated his powers, stood as two unprecedented Yin-Yang complementary three-Soul Core Limit Douluos, engaging in a duel against the Sun Moon Empire's most elite Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Legion!
"Look, this is the Limit Individual soldier cultivated by our Shrek Academy!"
On the Sky Screen, Xuan Zi watched the battle in the sky, which resembled a war of gods and was far beyond his ability to intervene, and spoke with immense pride.
At this moment, outside the Sky Screen, the people of the entire continent felt like spitting out their food in disbelief!
Damn it, you old geezer, can you have even a shred of shame? This level of Limit Douluo power, which could almost rival the gods—what on earth does it have to do with your Shrek Academy's bullshit "Limit Douluo" project?
The outdated Soul Tool configurations of the "Limit Individual" project were never used; the hundred-thousand-year soul rings and soul bones promised by Yan Shaozhe did not exist. Other core cultivation resources were also nowhere to be found.
Old man, oh old man, can you have even a little bit of shame?
In the end, the result had no suspense. Even if the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Legion was strong, and even if Kong Deming had broken through to a tenth-rank soul engineer, they were still mortal armed forces. How could they possibly contend with two monsters about to ascend to godhood?
Even if a true god were here, they would likely be beaten to death!
The Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Legion was annihilated, but Ju Zi, driven by a desperate desire for revenge, demanded Dai Hao's death, refusing to retreat unless he was killed, even if it meant plunging the entire Douluo Continent into misery!
Facing this crisis, Huo Yuhao snatched Ju Zi's son directly from the Sun Moon army. Just as Ju Zi, in her panic, was about to scream, time suddenly froze.
That sea-blue figure, with a face identical to the Sea God statues across the continent, finally appeared!
At this moment, everyone on the continent held their breath. Why would the Sea God Tang San appear at a time like this?
As it turned out, Ju Zi revealed the truth: the child was not Xu Tianran's son, but Huo Yuhao's!
The entire continent fell into a stunned silence. Inside the Sun Moon Imperial Palace, Xu Tianran slammed his table so hard it shattered.
"Good, Ju Zi. You are very good!"
Ju Zi: "..."
Is there anything useful nearby that would let me restart my life?
After Tang San appeared, he actually used his divine power to snatch the child away. He threatened Ju Zi, ordering her not only to keep this matter a secret but also to unconditionally withdraw her troops immediately and evacuate the entire Star Luo Empire.
"After the withdrawal, the Sun Moon Empire must be renamed the Heaven Dou Empire! From this day forward, you are forbidden from launching any wars of aggression!"
"If you disobey, hmph. Watch out for your son!"
For a time, as the people on the continent looked at that majestic and heroic statue, they all felt an indescribable sensation in their hearts.
You are a dignified deity, a being who became a god ten thousand years ago, yet you descended to the mortal realm to personally snatch someone else's child and bully a helpless mother and son?
Is this the Sea God? Why does he feel more like a shameless thug?
For Tang Ya, this felt like a tenth-rank fixed-load soul cannon shell exploding within her mental world.
As an orphan, the thing she hated and despised most was this kind of behavior—bullying orphans and widows and using a child to threaten a mother.
Yet now, the one committing such a despicable act was her own faith, the ancestor Sea God Tang San!
She wished she could wake up and find that all of this was just a dream! This couldn't be real!
The people of the Sun Moon Empire were even more furious. It was one thing to force them to retreat from the Star Luo Empire they had worked so hard to conquer, but to force the Sun Moon Empire to rename itself the "Heaven Dou Empire"?
By what right? Who the hell are you? Why should the empire we conquered be inexplicably handed over to someone else as a wedding dress?
At this moment, in the hearts of all the people of the Sun Moon Empire, this Sea God Tang San had become a thoroughly hostile existence! Perhaps their current soul-guided technology was still too weak to harm a god.
But one day, they would make this despicable, arrogant, blue-haired god pay the price! Come to think of it, Shrek Academy, which they hated so deeply, and even the Tang Sect in history, were all backed by this Sea God.
It was perfect; when the time came, they would settle the old and new grudges all at once!
The scene on the Sky Screen was not yet over. When Tang San left, he also took Tang Wutong with him.
Once Tang Wutong was gone, Huo Yuhao was naturally left in despair. Having lost all desire, he only wanted to reach the God Realm as quickly as possible to reclaim his Goddess Wutong from his father-in-law.
After the Sun Moon Empire retreated, Huo Yuhao went to the Star Dou Great Forest, fought Di Tian, defeated him with the posture of one invincible in the mortal world, and then ascended through the void.
