The Continent's Greatest Soul Engineer
[In fact, many people know that cooperating with the Holy Spirit Cult is like asking a tiger for its skin.]
What is the true nature of the Holy Spirit Cult? It's composed of Evil Soul Master! And what kind of group are Evil Soul Master?
That is a group that is unrestrained, lawless, and capable of any evil.
So you think you can turn these lawless Evil Soul Master into obedient little babies under your command just by using the guise of cooperation? Of course not.
Therefore, Xu Tianran can also see what others can see.
Xu Tianran is just bad, he's not stupid.
A fool cannot win a palace intrigue, wipe out factions, and seize power.
Xu Tianran was very intelligent; he certainly knew that cooperating with the Holy Spirit Cult was like asking a tiger for its skin.
His attitude towards the Holy Spirit Cult appeared respectful on the surface, but in reality, he mostly used it; the Holy Spirit Cult was a pawn to him.
What are his trump cards? His trump cards are the Soul Engineer Corps and the Hall of Consecration.
The Far North.
Both Ice Empress and Snow Empress saw this text at the same time.
Ice Empress scoffed, her beautiful eyes filled with disdain. "That's true. Evil Soul Master are just a bunch of madmen who have been blinded by power."
Anyone who expects them to be trustworthy is a fool. Xu Tianran's ability to understand this is better than I imagined.
Snow Empress nodded slightly, her voice gentle yet carrying a hint of coldness. "It's just mutual exploitation. The Holy Spirit Cult needs a front for its activities to be carried out openly."
Xu Tianran needs a dark force capable of overturning the continent. Once one side loses its usefulness, that's when they'll turn against each other.

Upon seeing this text, Xiao Xiao tilted her head, her fingers unconsciously tracing the edge of her desk, and muttered to herself, "Is Xu Tianran really that smart? I thought he was just a puppet emperor who only relied on others."
So he knew everything all along. But then again, how could someone who becomes emperor be a fool?
The Hall of Consecration is the headquarters of the Sun Moon Empire's most powerful Soul Master, especially the Hall Master Kong Deming. This Silver Moon Douluo is a level 94 Titled Douluo.
However, don't think that someone at level 94 can achieve anything great.
This guy is extraordinary; he's not only a Soul Master, but also a Soul Engineer.
In particular, he is about to break through to level 95, becoming Super Douluo.
The difference between a level 94 Titled Douluo and a level 95 Super Douluo may seem small, but it's a world of difference.
Why is level 94 Titled Douluo, and level 95 Super Douluo? The difference lies in the qualitative change in strength.
Most importantly, once he breaks through level 95, he can fuse his own Martial Soul with the world's number one and only Level 10 Soul Tool, the Silver Moon Divine Radiance.
He became the first Level-Ten Soul Engineer in history.

Ju Zi was sitting at her desk, the sunlight streaming through the window and casting a golden halo over her fair profile.
Upon seeing this text, her pen paused, and her gaze became exceptionally serious.
She put down her pen, walked to the window, and looked in the direction of the Hall of Consecration in the distance, thinking to herself, "So Hall Master Kong Deming is about to break through to level ninety-five?"
Level-Ten Soul Engineer... a strength sufficient to rival Ultimate Douluo.
If he succeeds, the strength of the Sun Moon Empire will be elevated to a new level.
With such a trump card in hand, it's no wonder Xu Tianran dared to cooperate with the Holy Spirit Cult so recklessly. It seems I underestimated his strength before."
How powerful is Level-Ten Soul Engineer? That's enough to rival Level 99 Limit Douluo.
It can be said that as long as the Hall Master of the Hall of Consecration breaks through level 95, a Level 99 Limit Douluo powerhouse will immediately appear behind Xu Tianran.
With such a powerful trump card, Xu Tianran was naturally not afraid of the Holy Spirit Cult killing him and taking control of the Sun Moon Empire himself.
The members of the Holy Spirit Cult are not fools.
Although they possess such great power, they cannot appear in the open, because gods exist in this world.
If they dared to act so openly and brazenly, they would definitely be punished by Shrek, so they dared not appear in public and thus chose to cooperate with Xu Tianran.
Shrek Academy.
Upon seeing this text, Ma Xiaotao suddenly opened her eyes, a hint of wariness flashing within them.
She walked to the window, gazing in the direction of Shrek City in the distance, her brow furrowing slightly. "Level-Ten Soul Engineer is actually this strong? Can they even contend with Ultimate Douluo?"
"If Kong Deming really breaks through, that's not good news for Shrek."
Kong Deming is of the Imperial Family blood and is the most loyal supporter of the Sun Moon Imperial Family. Anyone can betray the Sun Moon Imperial Family, but he cannot, because he is also a member of the Imperial Family.
Therefore, Xu Tianran could be wary of everyone, but he needed to be completely at ease with this one person, someone he could confide in and treat as a trusted confidant.
Star Dou Forest, Lake of Life.
Gu Yuena sat quietly by the lake, watching her reflection in the water.
Her eyes were deep, as if they could see through everything in the world.
Upon seeing this text, a faint smile appeared on her lips, and she calmly thought, "The bond of blood is sometimes indeed the strongest shackle."
As a member of the Sun Moon Imperial Family, Kong Deming's fate was intertwined with that of the Sun Moon Empire from the moment he was born.
He had no choice but to remain loyal, for to betray the Imperial Family was to betray himself. This was both his glory and his tragedy.
Shrek Academy, classroom.
Ning Tian read the text and pondered for a moment, saying, "So Kong Deming is of the Imperial Family blood. No wonder Xu Tianran trusts him so much and entrusts such an important place as the Hall of Consecration to him."
With such a loyal and Super Douluo in the Imperial Family, the Sun Moon Empire's Imperial Family status will indeed be much more stable.
It seems that in dealing with the Sun Moon Empire in the future, we must take Kong Deming into account.
The Imperial Family of the Sun Moon Empire possesses two types of Martial Soul.
The first is the orthodox Sun Martial Soul, and the second is the Silver Moon Martial Soul, which is equivalent to a branch.
If we consider the Sun Moon Imperial Family as one family, the main lineage is the Sun Martial Soul, and the branch lineage is the Silver Moon Martial Soul.
Wait, I almost forgot that Zhang Lexuan's Martial Soul is also the Silver Moon Martial Soul.
I remember that in the original novel, although it was not explicitly stated that Zhang Lexuan was a member of the Sun Moon Imperial Family, it was implied many times that Zhang Lexuan was actually a princess of the Sun Moon Empire.
If she were in the Sun Moon Imperial Family, she would definitely receive the title of princess.
But Zhang Lexuan was brought by Mu En from the Heavenly Soul Empire, and specifically after the Heavenly Soul Empire was wiped out, which is rather strange.
