A future balanced on three legs
Under the continuous crackdown by the Inspection Corps, the remaining forces of the Holy Spirit Cult have been basically wiped out on the continent, and no organized Evil Soul Master forces will emerge.
Although a few scattered Evil Soul Master occasionally emerged in later generations, they never amounted to anything comparable to the Holy Spirit Cult at its peak.
The Holy Spirit Cult had existed on the continent for ten thousand years, with roots spread everywhere. The fact that it could be completely eradicated after the war shows that Huo Yuhao and the Shrek Inspection Corps had put in a lot of effort in this matter.
Jiang Nannan picked up the water bottle, took a sip, and continued reading her diary.
She wondered if an organization that had existed for ten thousand years would still have some things left behind even if it were wiped out. Would those parts that weren't completely eliminated resurface someday?
The Spirit Pagoda played an increasingly important role after the war.
The Spirit Pagoda system was affected during the war, but it quickly resumed operation after the war.
The Soul Spirit Extraction and Fusion Devices of the Spirit Pagoda are now found all over the continent, completely changing how Soul Master acquire Soul Ring.
Previously, Soul Master had to hunt Soul Beast to obtain Soul Ring, but after the war, more and more Soul Master chose to obtain Soul Spirit through the Spirit Pagoda.
This transformation greatly improved the living environment for Soul Beast, and the number of Soul Beast in the Star Dou Forest gradually increased after the war.
As a representative of Soul Beast, Di Tian played a crucial role in the subsequent operation of the Spirit Pagoda. His relationship with Huo Yuhao continued after the war, and the cooperation between the Spirit Pagoda and the Star Dou Forest grew increasingly close.
Gu Yuena's views on the Spirit Pagoda have always been complicated, but it is undeniable that the Spirit Pagoda did indeed save Soul Beast from being hunted on a large scale.
Regarding Di Tian's involvement in the operation of the Spirit Pagoda, Gu Yuena felt that she would support him both now and in the future.
Although she remained wary of humans, the Spirit Pagoda, if successfully traversed, would be a lifeline for Soul Beast.
Shrek Academy's post-war reconstruction progressed rapidly.
After Yan Shaozhe took over as the Sea God Pavilion Master, he focused his main efforts on restoring the academy's vitality.
Enrollment has reopened, teaching staff is being gradually replenished, and the work of each branch has been taken over.
Ma Xiaotao performed her duties as the Dean of Martial Soul Department exceptionally well. She compiled the cultivation experience of the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul into a set of teaching materials, which greatly helped in the training of fire-type Soul Master.
Shrek's teaching system underwent a major adjustment after the war, with a significant increase in the emphasis on Soul Tool courses, which was related to the addition of He Caitou and Xuan Ziwen.
Shrek no longer only teaches traditional Soul Master cultivation; Soul Tool have become a compulsory course for every student.
After the war, the Tang Sect became the number one sect on the continent.
This position used to belong to the Clear Sky Sect. The Clear Sky Sect closed its gates for many years, Tang Sect rose to prominence during the war. After the war, the Tang Sect naturally took the top spot.
The Tang Sect's development direction differs from that of the Clear Sky Sect. The Tang Sect not only cultivates Soul Master but also researches and develops Soul Tool and manufactures Hidden Weapon.
The Tang Sect Clan has a more complete industrial chain than the Clear Sky Sect, and its influence on the mainland is also greater.
As the Grandmaster of the Tang Sect, Bei Bei managed all the affairs of the Tang Sect in an orderly manner after the war.
Tang Ya devoted a great deal of energy to the research of Hidden Weapon in the Tang Sect. Her Hidden Weapon skills made new breakthroughs after the war, adding many new items to the Tang Sect's product line.
Ning Tian has always been very interested in the rise of the Tang Sect.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is one of the Upper Three Sects, but in recent years, compared to the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, its brilliance has dimmed considerably.
Ning Tian knew that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's advantage lay in its Support System Martial Soul, but Support System were becoming increasingly unpopular in this era.
Huo Yuhao's Spirit Pagoda System makes it easier for Soul Master to acquire Soul Ring, greatly diluting the advantages of Support System Soul Master.
Ning Tian leaned back in her chair. She was thinking about the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. She had been pondering this question for a long time but had not yet come up with a satisfactory answer.
The political landscape on the mainland eventually stabilized into a situation of confrontation between the Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire in the north and south.
The two empires stood facing each other across the border, neither making a move.
This situation is very similar to that of ten thousand years ago; the territorial divisions of the Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire are almost identical to those of ten thousand years ago.
The name "Sun Moon Empire" disappeared from the continent, replaced by the transformed "Heaven Dou Empire".
As the Empress Dowager, Ju Zi, along with Xu Yunhan, governed this land.
Xu Yunhan was later hailed as a great ruler in historical records, an assessment that shows that Ju Zi taught him very well.
Ju Zi didn't win Huo Yuhao's true love, but she gained an excellent son and a peaceful old age. How to weigh this is a matter of personal opinion.
Much has already been written about Huo Yuhao's experiences in the Divine Realm, so I won't repeat it here.
To put it simply, after his ascension, he basically stopped interfering in the affairs of Shrek and the Tang Sect.
The affairs of the mortal realm were left to the people of the mortal realm; Bei Bei, Ma Xiaotao, He Caitou took over the responsibilities he had once shouldered.
How Huo Yuhao fared in the Divine Realm was something outsiders could only speculate about.
Judging from his experiences during his ascension, life in the Divine Realm may not be easier than in the mortal realm.
The Godhood of God of Emotions is not easy to hold; Tang San is watching over you from above, and you have a whole host of things to manage below.
Huo Yuhao rose from the illegitimate son of the Duke's Mansion to the Divine Realm; he traveled a long road, but the price he paid was also considerable.
From the time Huo Yuhao left the Duke's Mansion at the age of eleven, to when he became Titled Douluo at nineteen, and then to when he ascended to the Divine Realm, so many things happened in between.
The growth of the Shrek Seven Monsters, the destruction of the Holy Spirit Cult, the rise and fall of the Sun Moon Empire, and the establishment of the Spirit Pagoda.
These events, strung together, form the face of an entire era.
The times shaped these people, and these people, in turn, changed the times.
The continent entered a new phase after the war. The relationship between the Soul Master World and the Soul Beast Realm was gradually adjusted within the framework of the Spirit Pagoda, Two Great Empires maintained a delicate balance in their confrontation between the north and south.
No one knows how long this balance can last, but at least in the last few generations, the mainland has been peaceful.
Indeed, this was the case. In the era of the Legend of the Dragon King, ten thousand years later, although friction between countries still existed, and it was common for one country to hit another and the other to hit the other, there was no full-scale war like that of the Sun Moon Empire.
Of course, more importantly, the difference in resources between the major powers at that time was not significant.
The Spirit Pagoda, Shrek Academy, and Douluo Federation —the difference in their fundamental strength is actually not that great.
As we all know, triangles are stable. And with three major powers in the future, no one would dare to make any rash moves, since no one has the strength to fight against the other two major powers at the same time.
Of the three forces, Shrek Academy is probably the strongest, but it would still be impossible for it to easily defeat the Douluo Federation and the Spirit Pagoda, let alone deal with both at the same time.
Thus, a very strange balance was maintained, which lasted for thousands of years.
