Above Heaven Dou City, the rain of light had yet to cease, and the cheers still rang out.
News that the Heaven Dou Empire had changed its name to the Heaven Dou Empire and reached cooperation agreements with the Far North, Star Dou, and the ocean soul beasts soon spread to every inhabited corner of the Douluo Continent.
In the Sun Moon Empire, Xu Tianyuan's face swiftly went from deathly pale to an ashen stillness upon learning the news.
Xu Jiawei of the Star Luo Empire looked equally grim, his eyes filled with bewildered disbelief.
Star Dou bows down, the Far North alliance, the ocean wins hearts, a hundred dragons roar, a new cultivation path...
How was this a renaming ceremony?
It was clearly the Heaven Dou Empire's most naked declaration of war!
They wanted to recreate the colossal power that had ruled half the continent ten thousand years ago, and even go a step further!
Especially with the entirely new cultivation system, the Heaven Dou Empire seemed to have no intention of concealing anything. Its core theory spread directly across the continent after the renaming ceremony ended.
This itself was the Heaven Dou Empire's open stratagem: to undermine the foundations of the two great empires with unrivaled power and a future no one could refuse.
For a time, whether in the imperial palaces of the two great empires or the various soul master academies, everyone stared fixedly at the summary of the qi system's core principles in their hands.
Those thin sheets of paper now weighed more than ten thousand tons, like a towering mountain holding up the heavens, pressing down on the two great empires until they could hardly breathe.
Inside Creation Hall, the Sun Moon Empire's finest soul engineers held this theoretical summary and sank into thought.
