The end of one topic meant the next was about to begin.
After a moment of silence.
Or rather, after silently organizing her thoughts.
Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena of Douluo II finally spoke.

Add the more than ten billion inhabitants of the Douluo main planet and the corresponding beast races, and the number of intelligent lifeforms would exceed one trillion. And that is only one star system. Douluo I and Douluo III are not much different from Douluo II. In theory, you have roughly thirty trillion troops at your disposal.
