Sun Moon Empire

Biodata

History

The Sun Moon Empire originated on the Sun Moon Continent, which later reached the Douluo Continent through tectonic movement. Its arrival reshaped the continental balance of power after the Heaven Dou Empire split into the Douling and Tianhun Empires and the Star Luo royal family changed. 1

In its war against the three Douluo nations, the empire initially held the advantage through advanced soul guidance technology and a complete institutional system. The Douluo coalition's Tang Sect hidden weapons proved unable to match its soul guidance devices. 1

Shrek Academy ultimately assembled more than sixty Titled Douluo, assumed command of the coalition army, and defeated the Sun Moon Empire. Shrek's victory further elevated its position; in the current era, even the Sun Moon Emperor is expected to show it respect. 1

Society and Public Policy

• The empire provides free martial soul awakenings for its citizens, including commoners and poor children. 1 4
• It is described as allowing ordinary people to afford food and medical care, in contrast to the conditions attributed to the Douluo Three Kingdoms. 13
• Its public messaging promises that, under unification, commoners would not be arbitrarily oppressed by noble soul masters and that soul masters would be prohibited from harming ordinary people at will. 13
• Its comparatively favorable treatment of commoners is a major reason Douluo noble soul masters regard it as a threat to their status and interests. 13

Military and Soul Guidance Technology

• The empire's military strength rests on advanced soul guidance technology and a complete supporting system. 1
• Level-9 soul guidance devices were considered capable of overturning the situation of a war, despite the empire lacking Super Douluo during its earlier conflict with the Douluo nations. 1
• High-tier soul guidance devices consume vast quantities of soul power; once their operators are depleted, the devices cannot be used. 17
• Kong Deming is identified as the empire's stabilizing pillar and is considered close to becoming a Class 10 Soul Engineer. 25
• A Class 10 Soul Engineer is described as corresponding to Limit Douluo-level power; after Kong Deming reaches Rank 95 and Class 10, he would be qualified to challenge a Limit Douluo. 25

Education

Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy

The Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy is one of the continent's two leading schools alongside Shrek Academy. It emphasizes soul tool studies, standardized technical instruction, and the industrialized training of soul engineers. 26

Strengths and Limitations

• The academy maintains a complete soul tool knowledge system, including blueprints, core formations, inscription procedures, and graded examinations. 26
• Students have independent inscription rooms in their dormitories, and research is actively encouraged. 26
• Its educational model prioritizes soul tools, while martial soul cultivation is comparatively neglected. 26
• The academy is associated with using medicine to increase soul power, which can leave students with weaker foundations and bottlenecks. 26
• Its graduates are closely tied to the Sun Moon Empire's military-industrial system. 26

Relationships

• Douluo Three Kingdoms — Historical military opponents. The empire nearly defeated their coalition before Shrek Academy took command and reversed the war. 1
• Shrek Academy — Former wartime opponent and a present political constraint; Shrek's influence is great enough that the Sun Moon Emperor must treat it cautiously. 1 22
• Xiao Changge — A Sun Moon Empire soul engineer awakened his martial soul and intended to bring him to the empire before Shrek killed the engineer. Xiao later chooses to join the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy. 1 4 27
• Kong Deming — The empire's key soul engineer and a potential source of protection Xiao Changge hopes to secure after joining the empire. 25 26
• Jing Hongchen — Overseer of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy and another influential figure whose backing Xiao Changge seeks. 26
• Holy Spirit Cult — Xiao Changge is concerned that the empire's possible cooperation with evil soul masters could endanger him if he joins. 26

Story Role

The empire is introduced as the technologically superior power that once pushed the Douluo nations into retreat, only to be defeated through Shrek Academy's direct intervention. 1

For Xiao Changge, it represents the path he was denied: a Sun Moon soul engineer awakened his Vermilion Bird Martial Soul and planned to take him to the empire for a better future before Shrek intervened. 1 4

After considering the limits of founding his own faction and comparing the continent's schools, Xiao decides to join the Sun Moon Empire rather than return to Shrek or choose the Star Luo Empire. His system reward for this choice is a Fallen Heart Flame sub-flame. 25 26 27
