Zhang Jiao: I will destroy all Martial Souls and restore a world of justice
What was the biggest impact of Qian Renxue becoming a god?
Without a doubt, this was a severe blow to the Two Great Empires.
In the Nine Treasures Empire, Li Bai will need at least another year or two to become a god.
Meanwhile, Dai Tianfeng of the Star Luo Empire was hoping his son would quickly betray Gangzi and become the Rakshasa God. However, Dai Mubai was helpless. Gangzi was seriously injured, and to complete the Rakshasa Ninth Trial, he had to heal his injuries first.
This time lag was fatal for Two Great Empires.
They were unsure whether the Spirit Hall would take advantage of the God of Angels's ascension to godhood to plunder their empire's land and population.
If they were to actually try to seize it, then the Two Great Empires would be powerless to stop them.
Indeed, after Qian Renxue became a god, all the major powers went to Spirit City to pay their respects. Before Spirit Hall could even speak, the Two Great Empires and the major sects offered up land and people.
The Spirit Hall was naturally happy to see this happen. Unlike that idiot Bibi Dong, the Spirit Hall was still a religion, not some kind of the Spirit Hall Empire.
Originally, Qian Daoliu wanted to take this time to promote the faith of the Angel God. He had learned that Xue'er was only a little faith away from breaking through to the next stronger realm, so he was willing to risk his reputation and personally spread the faith of the Angel.
But before he could take action, an accident occurred.
In the distance, ten Soul Ring also fell from the sky, the pressure of God descending!
"Xue'er... has someone become a god?" Qian Daoliu's eyes were filled with solemnity.
"That's right." Qian Renxue nodded, gripping the Angel Holy Sword. "That direction... is the Yellow Turban Army!"
"Could it be Zhang Jiao?!" Qian Daoliu asked.
"It's very possible, I'd better go and see for myself!" Qian Renxue was very confident in her abilities.
Qian Daoliu understood his granddaughter's current strength, so he didn't stop her. Instead, he instructed her, "Xue'er, be sure to be careful..."
Before he could finish speaking, a massive amount of Divine Power gathered in the Sky Manipulation.
Divine Power slowly condensed, as if connecting a piece of the laws of heaven and earth. Everyone in the entire Douluo Continent could see a light screen, on which stood Zhang Jiao, the Great Sage Teacher, wearing Yellow Turbans and with a dignified yet kind expression.
"As you can see, I have become a god!" Zhang Jiao spoke slowly, his tone calm and composed.
Upon hearing this, many Nobles, especially those Nobles had committed numerous atrocities and massacred the common people, felt their scalps tingle and felt a tickle on their necks, as if they were about to be chopped off at any moment!
They knew Zhang Jiao and his Yellow Turban Army's temperament all too well. They wouldn't necessarily slaughter them one by one according to their family genealogy like a failed scholar, but they would at least hang the corpses of these wicked Nobles on the city walls like preserved meat.
If Zhang Jiao really becomes a god, with the power of God, none of these Nobles will have an easy time!
"I know what you Nobles are thinking!" Within the light barrier formed by Divine Power, Zhang Jiao's expression remained calm. "This world is far too twisted. High-level Soul Master and the Imperial Family exploit ordinary Nobles, ordinary Nobles exploit ordinary Soul Master and commoners, and ordinary Soul Master bully even weaker Soul Master... It goes on and on, endlessly..."
"Even within my own Yellow Turban Army, I've discovered many villains who mistreat their soldiers and rape women! Yet, most of these villains were once ordinary people whom I gave a bowl of Talisman Water, vowing to resist the tyranny of the Nobles. After gaining power, they became dissatisfied with their current situation, abandoning their former convictions and ideals, and indulging in the same extravagance and power as the Nobles!"
"The reason I haven't been able to completely unify the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empire Two Great Empires all this time is largely because many people in my army have colluded with the Nobles of these Two Great Empires! I suddenly realized something: as long as powerful Martial Soul exist in this world, the fundamental nature of the world will never change!"
"The strong oppress the weak, and the weak, having no power to resist, can only grovel and submit!"
"The essence of the Douluo Continent is this ridiculous: the weak have no means to resist the strong, but once the weak gain power, they become the strong and oppress the weak! Perhaps this is human nature... But where there is oppression, there is resistance!"
"Since the existence of powerful Martial Soul in this world has led to the strong oppressing the weak, and the weak being unable to resist, then I will use this broken body to sever the connection between all Martial Soul and humans! From this day forward... there will be no more Martial Soul in the world, and no more Soul Master!"
As Zhang Jiao finished speaking, he slowly raised his hand in the light screen.
An ordinary-looking, ancient Long Sword appeared in his hand.
Great Peace Sword!
With Zhang Jiao's ascension to godhood, the Taiping Sword Martial Soul itself evolved into Divine Artifact! If enough Power of Faith is gathered, the Great Peace Sword will surely evolve into Super Divine Artifact.
With this sword alone... I will sever all injustice in this world!
As Zhang Jiao roared, the Yellow Turban Army surrounding him also roared back in unison.
"The Blue Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise; in the Jiazi, great fortune will come to the world!"
"The Blue Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise; in the Jiazi, great fortune will come to the world!"
"..."
These people who shouted were the true core of the Yellow Turban Army.
Among them were even some Nobles and powerful Soul Master, but they still chose to follow Zhang Jiao because they yearned for the kind of world that Zhang Jiao described, a world where there would be no oppression due to Martial Soul!
It wasn't just the Power of Faith from the tens of thousands of the Yellow Turban Army surrounding Zhang Jiao that brought him strength; even more Power of Faith from the depths of ordinary people's hearts surged in from all directions, all converging into the Great Peace Sword.
Many commoners blinked in confusion. "Old Zhang, what does this Great Sage Teacher mean? I don't understand."
"It roughly means that... those Nobles lords and Lord Soul Master will no longer have Martial Soul and Soul Power. Like us, they'll die from a single stab!" The man called Old Zhang scratched his head, thought for a moment, and then said with a look of sudden realization.
Upon hearing this, many people's breathing quickened, and an indescribable light shone in their eyes.
They had all heard, to varying degrees, about the deeds of the Yellow Turban Army: killing Nobles, beheading corrupt officials, winning the hearts of the common people, and ensuring they had enough to eat.
Many commoners were moved by this, but due to the oppression of the Nobles and the power of the Lord Soul Master, they hesitated to take any action...
But now, but now...
Without a powerful Martial Soul, wouldn't a Nobles still die from a single stab?
Let alone ordinary Nobles, even families like the Angel Qian Family, the Nine Treasures Ning, the White Tiger Dai Family, and the Blue Lightning Yu Family —families that stand proudly at the pinnacle of the Soul Master World —felt their scalps tingle!
If they lose their Martial Soul, will they still be among the most elite families on the Douluo Continent?
