The Plan to Forge the Evil Eyes Clan

"Xuanyu, your Martial Soul Awakening and Innate Soul Power test today truly caught Us by surprise."

Emperor Dai Heng looked at his youngest prince and slowly spoke.

Never would I have thought that my youngest child would be the hope to lead the imperial family in unifying the Douluo Continent!

When looking at Dai Xuanyu, Dai Heng's face carried a complex emotion—pride, joy, and contemplation...

As for Dai Xuanyu, he straightened his back slightly, a trace of firmness shining through his eyes.

He did not speak, only slowly nodding at his father.

Having transmigrated six years ago, Dai Xuanyu had long since grown familiar with the rules of the imperial palace, knowing what to do at what time.

Good, good. Not arrogant, not impatient, and persevering is the image of a dominant ruler.

Dai Heng looked at the child who possessed the Evil Eyes and Double Pupils, his heart brimming with joy.

At the very beginning, Dai Heng's appreciation and favor for Dai Xuanyu stemmed from the imperial symbol of the Evil Eyes and Double Pupils, as well as Dai Xuanyu's performance over the past six years.

In reality, however, Dai Heng's heart still wasn't very optimistic about Dai Xuanyu emerging victorious in the struggle for the throne.

There was no help for it; the age gap was simply too large.

Although his eldest son, Dai Weisi, did not possess very strong talent, nor did he have natural evil eyes like Dai Mubai and Dai Xuanyu, he had successfully defeated and eliminated the second prince by relying on the advantage of his age.

Moreover, he had even directly terrified the third prince, Dai Mubai—who was born with double evil eyes—turning him into a coward and a wretch who dared not make any resistive moves.

Even if his youngest child, Dai Xuanyu, was born with the Evil Eyes and Double Pupils and performed very well, what use was it?

The disparity in strength was still massive!

Yet today, following the roar of the tiger that shook the imperial city, paired with that Martial Soul—where holiness and evil intertwined, existing only in the legends of the Star Luo Imperial Family—this child seemed to have suddenly laid down the future framework of the Star Luo Imperial Family.

Not to mention that talent which surpassed Innate Full Soul Power, boasting a Soul Power Level as high as level twenty.

"Xuanyu, is your Evil Eyes Saint King Martial Soul truly real?" A hint of probing and curiosity laced Dai Heng's tone.

Although he had just witnessed everything with his own eyes, at this moment, he still wanted to hear the reply of this imperial son of his.

"Answering Your Majesty, this Martial Soul truly exists. The moment my Martial Soul awakened, I knew all of this."

Dai Xuanyu spoke slowly, his voice crisp and concise. "It is the deity described in our Star Luo Imperial Family's ancient legends as possessing the bearing of a saint king, one who protects our Star Luo clan."

Besides, the Evil Eyes Saint King had never truly existed in the past; it had always been an illusory legend that people had gradually forgotten.

Therefore, all rights of interpretation lay with Dai Xuanyu, the one who possessed the Evil Eyes Saint King Martial Soul.

In particular, no matter what Dai Xuanyu said, he didn't need to worry about being exposed.

Dai Heng started, a trace of a complex smile immediately surfacing on his face.

Ancestors had once left behind legends indicating that their Star Luo clan was protected by a saint king.

However, over the span of several thousand years, no miracles had ever been displayed, and as time passed, this legend was forgotten.

The reason Dai Heng knew of the Evil Eyes Saint King was because he had once read descriptions of that legend in ancient materials passed down within the imperial family.

Like the successive emperors before him, Dai Heng at that time had merely felt that it was a kind of legend.

Later, upon ascending the throne and governing diligently for decades, he gradually forgot it altogether.

Yet Dai Heng understood now: this legend was truly real, and it had appeared right upon his son.

"Since that is the case, then tell me, what special traits does this Martial Soul actually possess?"

Dai Heng asked immediately, his tone carrying a father's care for his son, alongside an emperor's exploration of the future.

Even the shift in his colloquial speech was enough to prove the changes within Dai Heng's heart.

Dai Xuanyu was silent for a brief moment, then slowly spoke, "Father, from my perspective, the Evil Eyes Saint King Martial Soul is definitely not an ordinary Martial Soul."

"It represents a certain Mandate of Heaven that transcends ordinary Martial Souls—a God-Bestowed Martial Soul."

"The Mandate of Heaven?" Dai Heng frowned.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Father, the awakening of this Evil Eyes Saint King was not because I myself am all that strong, but rather because my bloodline conceals a certain imprint related to the legend."

"As it now appears, the inheritance of our Star Luo Imperial Family is not limited merely to the White Tiger Martial Soul, but goes to an even deeper level."

"Even if everyone cannot inherit the Saint King's power completely as I have, a certain enhancement will definitely still be there."

Dai Xuanyu spoke out everything he had prepared in his mind at this very moment.

This was something he began planning the moment he learned he had awakened the Evil Eyes Saint King Martial Soul.

Doing this was precisely to firmly grasp every single person in the Star Luo Imperial Family.

Only by giving them hope could they gain stronger cohesion and more conveniently help him get things done.

Moreover, Dai Xuanyu was not just randomly drawing pie in the sky.

With the Evil Eyes Saint King Martial Soul, and as his strength increased, Dai Xuanyu could indeed bestow blessings upon other members of the imperial family and forge the Evil Eyes clan in this world.

When that time came, the inherited Martial Soul awakened by the Star Luo Dai Family would no longer be as simple as an ordinary white tiger.

Could it be that the White Tiger Martial Soul of our Star Luo clan can evolve once again?!

Listening to Dai Xuanyu's words, Dai Heng's face revealed a slight trace of deep thought.

"You child, you truly have allowed Us to see hope." Dai Heng sighed softly, choosing to believe him.

After all, the Evil Eyes Saint King Martial Soul and Innate Level 20 Soul Power had already appeared; what else was there that could not be believed?

Dai Xuanyu smiled faintly; everything was happening just as he had planned.

At this moment, Dai Heng instructed, "My child, you must remember that before you have yet to grow up, you must absolutely not expose that your Martial Soul is the Evil Eyes Saint King, nor that your Innate Soul Power reaches as high as level twenty."

"If not for this, We would have enfeoffed you as crown prince in the imperial court today rather than establishing it in secret."

"So in the next dozen years or so, you must disguise yourself well and must never be exposed."

"This truly wrongs you, forcing you to act as a crown prince known to only a handful of people." As he spoke, Dai Heng felt a profound sense of pity.

If they were to spread the news to the citizens a day earlier that Dai Xuanyu had awakened the Evil Eyes Saint King Martial Soul and possessed Innate Level 20 Soul Power,

then it would be all the easier to help the imperial family unite the hearts of the empire's people, recruit more troops, and gain more assistance... preparing thoroughly for the future unification of the Douluo Continent.

There was no help for it, however. The Heaven Dou Empire was not worth fearing, but that Spirit Hall was different.

"Father, your child does not feel wronged in the least."

"For your child knows your profound intentions. Both Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire are enemies of our Star Luo Empire."

"Especially that Spirit Hall; they harbor wild ambitions and must be guarded against!"

Dai Xuanyu immediately began to put on a performance in front of the Star Luo Emperor.

Since the opening move was so magnificent, he naturally had to display even more of his extraordinary talent,

so that his father would not treat him as an ordinary child, thereby obtaining even greater assistance.

As the saying went, to be fast by one step was to be fast by every step.

Having awakened the Evil Eyes Saint King Martial Soul and Innate Level 20 Soul Power, and having been secretly enfeoffed as crown prince as a matter of course,

playing the pig to eat the tiger was definitely the most foolish strategy!
