Let the Light of Douluo Hall Shine Upon the Continent

Gu Yuan highly approved of the original model of the Martial Soul Hall.

By providing free martial soul awakenings for commoners, they could identify geniuses for their own use while simultaneously promoting their own reputation.

It was through this that the Martial Soul Hall was able to bring all martial souls in the world under its banner, controlling nearly seventy percent of the soul master power ten thousand years ago.

In the current era, without the benevolent deeds of the Martial Soul Hall, countless commoners toil away without a shred of hope for the future; one can only say that we must thank that "pure and noble" Tang San.

Gu Yuan then broke down the core of his plan, laying it out clearly before the two women.

"The first step is to solidify our foundation and win the hearts of the people."

"Why was the Martial Soul Hall able to sweep across the continent and make both great empires wary? It was not because of how many Titled Douluo or powerhouses you had, but because you provided a path to survival for all the commoner soul masters on the continent. The hearts of the people are the core foundation of the Martial Soul Hall, and it is something that the current Shrek will never learn and can never achieve."

Gu Yuan's gaze fell upon the two, his tone firm: "The first thing the Douluo Hall must do is replicate this path, and do it even more thoroughly than the Martial Soul Hall did back then."

"After establishing the Douluo Hall, we will build branches in every city of the three great empires. We will awaken martial souls for all commoners for free, regardless of their background or status. As long as they have talent, we will provide them with cultivation resources and protection, ensuring they are no longer oppressed by nobles and great sects."

"Shrek only recruits geniuses and stands on the side of the nobles and the strong. We, the Douluo Hall, will stand on the side of all commoner soul masters."

"With a population of billions across the continent, commoners make up over ninety percent. As long as we capture their hearts, we capture the future of the entire continent."

Qian Renxue's heart skipped a beat, her eyes shining with brilliance.

The Martial Soul Hall's greatest pride was this system of martial soul awakening that spanned the entire continent.

The Qian family had a saying: "He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world." This was something Qian Renxue had been taught since she was a child.

With a single sentence, Gu Yuan had pinpointed the core of why the Martial Soul Hall was able to rise, showing them the most correct path.

"The second step is to integrate our forces and build our core team."

"For ten thousand years, the remnants of the Martial Soul Hall have operated in the shadows of the continent, weaving an airtight web."

"The high-ranking military officials of the three great empires, key court ministers, and core figures of major sects all include our people. Within the Dragon Graveyard, the Martial Soul Hall still possesses several Titled Douluo, over a hundred Soul Douluo, a thousand elite soul masters, and the fully organized Angel Legion."

Gu Yuan looked at the two and said in a deep voice: "All these forces are now under your command."

"Between the two of you, mother and daughter, there is no one more suitable to lead the Douluo Hall. I will provide you with sufficient cultivation resources to build the Douluo Hall. Whenever you need it, the Dragon Graveyard and the Star Dou Forest will provide you with a constant stream of support."

Bibi Dong nodded slowly, her ambition already ignited. It had been ten thousand years; she finally had the chance to stand at the pinnacle of the continent's power once again.

"The third step is to win over allies and dismantle our opponents."

"Shrek stands alone at the top and has made many enemies. The Body Sect is at odds with them, and the empires are estranged from them, long tired of being held back by Shrek at every turn. These are all allies we can win over. Among them, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect possesses immense wealth and a ten-thousand-year heritage; we can offer them a temptation they cannot refuse."

Gu Yuan raised his hand, and a delicate, vibrant tulip bloomed in his palm. Its petals were wreathed in seven-colored halos, emitting the incomparably pure aura of an immortal herb.

This was the immortal Aromatic Silk Beauty.

"The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda is the number one support martial soul on the continent, but it has a fatal flaw—the martial soul shackle."

"Successive sect masters could only reach the Soul Saint realm at most, unable to progress any further."

"The Aromatic Silk Beauty can perfectly break the shackles of the martial soul. It will not only double the support capabilities of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda but can even allow it to evolve, breaking the limitations of the martial soul to achieve the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda."

Gu Yuan placed the Aromatic Silk Beauty before them and said calmly: "Use this immortal herb to recruit the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. They have an extremely high reputation on the continent. As long as the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect joins the Douluo Hall, it will not only double our combat power but also attract other sects to defect, increasing the foundation of the Douluo Hall."

"Beyond this, I will give you a batch of top-tier immortal herbs. The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, Eight Petal Immortal Orchid, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower... these immortal herbs can be used to win over talented soul masters and build a core legion of powerhouses for the Douluo Hall."

Gu Yuan's gaze drifted toward the distant horizon, his deep eyes reflecting countless visions of the future: "In over two hundred years, Huo Yuhao will appear, and Tang San's layout will unfold step by step. Now is the moment for our Douluo Hall to step onto the center stage and rewrite history."

The entire hall fell into silence.

Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong were deeply shocked by Gu Yuan's grand and meticulous plan.

They had originally thought Gu Yuan only wanted them to establish a force to oppose Shrek.

They had not expected his layout to be so far-reaching, aiming directly at the foundation of the order Tang San had established.

This was no longer a simple matter of revenge; this was about completely rewriting the history of the entire Douluo Continent and overturning the status quo of the last ten thousand years.

Bibi Dong took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in her heart. She bowed deeply to Gu Yuan, her voice resonant and trembling with excitement: "Rest assured, Lord Dragon God, Bibi Dong will certainly not fail this mission. Xue'er and I will make the Douluo Hall the number one force on the continent and pave every path for your grand design."

Qian Renxue also stepped forward to stand beside Bibi Dong, her eyes equally filled with determination: "Lord, my mother and I will certainly not let you down. The Douluo Hall will recreate the glory of the former Martial Soul Hall, and we will go even further than they did."

Gu Yuan looked at the mother and daughter standing side by side and nodded with satisfaction.

He waved his hand, and a large brocade box landed before them, filled with various top-tier immortal herbs. Each one radiated a rich, immortal aura, enough to drive the soul masters of the entire continent into a frenzy.

In addition, there was a spatial ring containing countless treasures, enough to easily forge several Super Douluo.

"These are all for you," Gu Yuan said calmly.

"I will always be your strongest backing. The soul beast forces controlled by Di Tian and the others will also cooperate with your actions at any time. Go forth and do it; I look forward to the day the Douluo Hall's name resounds across the entire Douluo Continent."

Three days later, on the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest, two figures walked out of the dense woods side by side.

The woman in black was veiled, her body wreathed in the holy power of the Angel God, radiating the majesty of one who looks down upon all living beings. The woman in purple had cold, sharp eyes, with schemes and slaughter hidden in her pupils, emitting an aura of annihilation that caused the surrounding air to stagnate.

Behind them followed dozens of figures hidden in the shadows, each possessing the aura of a Titled Douluo.

Bibi Dong looked up toward the direction of the Heaven Dou Empire's capital, a cold smile flashing across her lips.

Ten thousand years ago, she started from here, ascended to the position of Pope of the Martial Soul Hall, and established the Spirit Hall Empire.

Ten thousand years later, she would set out from here once again, using the name of the Douluo Hall to recast her own glory and stir up a storm that would sweep across the entire continent.

The glory of the Douluo Hall would surely illuminate this era shrouded in injustice.
