The Unified Continent and the Star Sea Alliance!

[Age 33, the news of Shrek's destruction at your hands shocked the entire Douluo Continent! People who had long been accustomed to Shrek being an autonomous, powerful, and independent entity outside the Federation found the fact impossible to accept.]

[But soon, following a manifesto you issued against the Sun Moon Federation—broadcast simultaneously through all Spirit Pagoda channels and its affiliated forces—the entire continent erupted into a frenzy!]

In the highest-level conference room of the Spirit Pagoda, unlike the crude streaming environment Chen Zeyu had used previously, the setting was vastly different.

Clad in magnificent robes, Qian Gu Mingyue sat at the head of the table, while Leng Yaozhu, Leng Yulai, Qian Gu Dieting, Snake Emperor Douluo, and over 30 other Super and Peak Douluo were seated in rows to his left and right.

Under the focus of numerous clear and sophisticated broadcasting devices, Qian Gu Mingyue spoke slowly: "Greetings, my fellow human compatriots of the continent."

"I am the current Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda, Qian Gu Mingyue. I believe that since my succession, my fellow humans across the continent have come to know me, have they not?"

A smile appeared on his handsome face as Qian Gu Mingyue continued: "The reason I am holding this comprehensive broadcast today is because I wish to announce a major event."

"From ancient times to the present, even with the birth of gods, the humans on this continent have existed in a state of mutual suspicion and hostility, divided by the borders of various nations!"

"And since the emergence of soul guidance technology, this tangled web of factional enmity has cost countless compatriots their lives just to achieve our current technological progress!"

His smile turned serious and tinged with a sigh, his voice gradually rising in intensity: "Although the establishment of the Sun Moon Federation consolidated a large portion of human forces..."

"The disappearance of the Sun Moon royal family, coupled with the continued existence of old-era aristocrats, has caused us humans to fall once again into meaningless internal strife!"

"Therefore, I, Qian Gu Mingyue, in my capacity as the Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda, hereby warn all ambitious souls across the continent!"

"Humanity must be unified! It is a necessity! Only when humanity is united under a single goal can we unleash the true potential and capabilities of our species, the spirits of all things!"

"Thus, only under the leadership of a powerful, unified government can we escape this low-level infighting and embark upon a true path of prosperity!"

"It is precisely by upholding this belief that since my succession, I have not only used soul guidance technology to benefit my compatriots but have also personally acted to eradicate the malignant tumors of various factions across the continent!"

Having said this, Qian Gu Mingyue slowly rose from his seat, raising both hands toward the camera:

"The future of humanity should not be confined to this small Douluo Planet, lingering in the shadows of the remnants of a bygone era!"

"Our future! Our journey! It belongs to us, humanity! To the stars! To the sea!"

"Therefore, I declare that the Sun Moon Federation is unworthy of its position! Star Luo and Heaven Dou have acted against the course of nature! From this moment on, the Spirit Pagoda is renamed the Star Sea Alliance!"

"I hope all ambitious souls on the continent will join us! Of course, given the cautionary tales of the previous malignant factions, I believe the unification of our Star Sea Alliance will proceed quite smoothly, won't it?"

As his voice fell, the 30-plus Super, Peak, and two Limit Douluo rose in unison.

Soul rings shone, spirit souls manifested, and martial souls were fully summoned! Even through the screen, the terrifying pressure was enough to make one feel suffocated!

[Age 34, perhaps due to the cautionary tales of the previous factions, or perhaps because of the display of the Star Sea Alliance's formidable foundation during the broadcast, the process of unifying the entire Douluo Continent went much smoother than you had imagined.]

[Aside from a few short-sighted remnants of the old era who attempted to resist, the Douluo Continent was completely unified, and the Star Sea Alliance was established! You naturally became the first Chairman of the Alliance!]

[Age 35, after a full year of "coordination" led by the two Limit Douluo, you seized control of almost all existing human resources across the entire Douluo Continent!]

[Of course, you encountered resistance during this process, and groups such as the so-called Holy Spirit Cult evil soul masters even surfaced.]

[But alas, led by Limit Douluo equipped with the two S-grade Valkyrie Battlesuit sets you specifically crafted, these obstacles were all converted into Alliance reserves and fuel for the path of human progress!]

[Age 36, you re-screened and re-ordered all existing professions. While prioritizing technological development, you re-planned the security and academic curricula for every city!]

[You even remembered the promise you made to Yun Ming and the others; while rewriting the textbooks, you included their deeds as well!]

[Age 37, developing the Alliance.]

[Age 38, developing the Alliance.]

[Age 39, developing the Alliance.]

[Age 40, developing the Alliance.]

[Age 41, developing the Alliance.]

[Age 42, developing the Alliance.]

[Age 43, after six full years of development, a large number of outstanding scientific research talents emerged within the Star Sea Alliance!]

[What's more, under your occasional lectures and guidance, they brought you quite a few surprises.]

[Age 44, in terms of technology, you finally achieved a major breakthrough. Breaking the limitations of soul power, you led a team to develop pure technological products that were in no way inferior to soul guidance technology, which ordinary people could use without any pressure!]

[For a long time, although no one mentioned it, the divide between soul masters and ordinary people was actually quite profound.]

[Although the profession of mecha maintenance technician existed during the Sun Moon Federation era, and ordinary people could even come into contact with soul guidance technology, ultimately, soul power remained one of the most important abilities on this continent.]

[Therefore, at the annual press conference, the moment you announced this news, the entire continent erupted into boiling excitement and celebration!]

[Soul masters were no longer the most noble profession; as long as you had talent and wisdom, even if you were an ordinary person without a shred of soul power, you could become a scientific researcher with the same social status as a soul master!]

[In the same year, the first artificial satellite in the history of the Douluo Continent entered deep space under the anticipation of all humanity in the Alliance!]

[Age 45, under the national policy of vigorously promoting scientific research, the speed at which Title Douluo were born among the major families began to slow down.]

[It was also in this year that the first artificial spacecraft in the history of the Douluo Continent was born under your leadership!]

[You selected nine ordinary astronauts and nine astronauts ranging from soul masters to Title Douluo level, who boarded the ship under your gaze and the eyes of all humanity in the Alliance via live broadcast!]

[A brilliant tail flame dragged the rocket rapidly into the sky until it became a black dot in the line of sight, and the broadcast feed switched to a real-time view from inside the spacecraft!]
