"During that coup, Dai Mubai, as a rival, was personally killed by Dai Weisi."
"Now, Dai Weisi, as the representative of the forces that voluntarily surrendered to the Spirit Hall Empire, has been appointed as the governor of the Star Luo Empire Province, responsible for managing that region."
Xuan Ming remained silent for a moment, then said, "The victor is king, the loser is villain; it's fate."
Chapter 485 One Hundred Years
After a long while, the heavy iron bars were pulled open again.
Tang Yuehua slowly walked out from the dark depths of the prison cell, followed by a thin figure that looked as if a gust of wind could blow her away.
That's Bai Chenxiang.
The once spirited and proud young master of the Speed Clan, who was as proud as a little phoenix, is now like a puppet that has lost its soul.
She lowered her head, and her once bright and lively eyes were now filled with only a lifeless numbness and emptiness.
Long-term imprisonment and mental torture had long since worn away all her sharpness.
Tang Yuehua held her hand tightly, as if she were holding a fragile porcelain doll, her eyes filled with heartache.
Xuan Ming's gaze swept over Bai Chenxiang, but did not linger for long, nor did he speak.
There's really nothing to say about him and the people of the Clear Sky Sect.
If it weren't for Tang Yuehua, this group of former so-called "number one sects" would probably have rotted away in this dark underground place long ago, and their names would not even be remembered by the world.
As for words like "pitiful" and "innocent," they have long since become irrelevant to him.
Let's go.
Xuan Ming turned around and walked out first.
Xuan Ming only stopped when he had left the oppressive stone forest and was standing once again under the warm sunlight of Spirit City.
He turned around, looked at Bai Chenxiang who was still somewhat timid and dared not raise her head, and spoke softly:
"Do you want to help your people survive?"
Bai Chenxiang's body trembled violently.
"Not just lingering on like this, but living with dignity like a human being," Xuan Ming added.
Bai Chenxiang raised her head in a somewhat fearful manner, glanced at Xuan Ming, and then quickly lowered her head again, her lips trembling, but she dared not make a sound.
She knew who the man in front of her was.
He is the god of the Spirit Hall Empire, the source of that world-destroying divine punishment, and the culprit who caused the Clear Sky Sect to fall to this state.
But at the same time, he is also the only one who can decide their life or death.
Tang Yuehua gently patted Bai Chenxiang's back and said softly, " Xiangxiang, don't be afraid. This is the opportunity Xuan Ming has given you, and it's also the only opportunity for the Clear Sky Sect. This is all your aunt can do; the rest of the journey is up to you."
She had to shamelessly beg Xuan Ming for this opportunity.
She knew that Xuan Ming didn't care about the Clear Sky Sect or the lives of these people.
Although she felt sorry for her people, she was also aware of her own limits.
Xuan Ming had already shown great respect to the Clear Sky Sect by giving them leeway, and she couldn't possibly ask for more.
After all, her priority should be standing by Xuan Ming's side, not as a protector of the Clear Sky Sect.
However, Bai Chenxiang is different.
Xuan Ming didn't dislike the innocent child who was caught up in the situation; in fact, he felt a pang of pity for him.
If Bai Chenxiang were to shoulder this responsibility and serve as the hope for the rebirth of the Clear Sky Sect, it would be most appropriate.
Looking at Tang Yuehua's encouraging gaze, and then at the high and mighty god, Bai Chenxiang's numbness finally cracked.
She took a deep breath, her voice weak but resolute:
"I... I do."
"Very good."
Xuan Ming nodded without saying a word.
He raised his hand and pointed a finger at Bai Chenxiang's brow.
"Boom!"
A vast, boundless, and supremely pure divine Divine Power, like a river bursting its banks, instantly poured into Bai Chenxiang's frail body.
Ning Fengzhi, who was standing to the side, suddenly widened his eyes, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
In his perception, Bai Chenxiang's aura, which had plummeted to rock bottom due to her long-term imprisonment, suddenly began to surge wildly in that instant!
Soul Emperor... Soul Saint... Soul Douluo...
Bottleneck? It doesn't exist.
The shackles are practically useless.
That force, domineering and ruthless, swept through every meridian of Bai Chenxiang, reshaping her Martial Soul and forcibly elevating her Life level to a realm unimaginable to mortals.
Titled Douluo!
Level 95... Level 98... Level 99!
Finally, the divine barrier that had isolated countless brilliant minds was as thin as paper in the face of this power, and was easily pierced.
Level 100!
god!
Although she was merely Divine Officer without Godhood, Bai Chenxiang had now truly transcended the realm of mortals and entered the realm of gods.
"This... is this the power of God?" Ning Fengzhi murmured to himself, his heart filled with astonishment.
He struggled his whole life, and you could even say he schemed his whole life, all just to help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect advance further.
But now, Xuan Ming has created a god with just a casual gesture!
This method is simply unbelievable.
Xuan Ming withdrew his hand, looked at Bai Chenxiang who was enveloped in golden light and looked bewildered, and said calmly:
"I have not granted you Godhood; for now, you are merely a Divine Officer."
"However, I borrowed a little power from the Angel God for you."
As he spoke, Xuan Ming flicked his fingertip, and a wisp of pure and sacred golden light entered Bai Chenxiang's body.
That was Qian Renxue's Angel Divine Power.
"From this moment forward, you are an apostle of the Angel God, Divine Officer of the Angel God."
"What I need you to do is use this power to integrate the remaining members of the Clear Sky Sect, as well as all those other miscellaneous forces."
"The future Douluo Federation needs all sorts of forces. Since the Clear Sky Sect doesn't want to die, then turn them into a useful weapon."
Bai Chenxiang stared blankly as she felt the surging, ocean-like power within her body, her mind a complete blank.
One moment she was an ant in a death row cell, the next she was a high and mighty Divine Officer?
The huge difference left her completely bewildered for a moment.
Xuan Ming didn't urge her, but simply waited quietly for her to process everything.
A moment later, his gaze turned to Ning Fengzhi, who was still in shock.
" Chairman Ning."
"Ah? Your subordinate is here!" Ning Fengzhi suddenly came to his senses and quickly bowed.
Xuan Ming looked him up and down, then thoughtfully stroked his chin.
"As the future Speaker of the Douluo Federation, who will also oversee the affairs of the entire continent, your current strength is indeed somewhat inadequate."
Ning Fengzhi smiled wryly. Although he was at the pinnacle of Auxiliary System Soul Master, he did indeed seem somewhat powerless in this era where gods frequently appeared.
"Never mind, it's just a small favor."
Xuan Ming raised his hand again and pointed out with one finger.
"Boom!"
This time, it is a gentler yet equally vast power.
Ning Fengzhi felt as if he were immersed in a warm ocean, and the bottleneck of his Martial Soul that had troubled him for many years instantly melted away.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda automatically emerged from the light, its number of layers continuously increasing until it finally settled at nine layers, radiating a dazzling divine light.
Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!
Moreover, not only did his Martial Soul Evolution, but his Soul Power also soared like a rocket, directly crossing the threshold of Titled Douluo and entering the realm of Divine Officer!
Furthermore, Xuan Ming followed the same method, bestowing upon him another portion of the Angel Divine Power.
"This..."
Ning Fengzhi felt the sacred and powerful force within his body, and trembled with excitement. He was about to kneel down to express his gratitude.
"Alright, stop kneeling." Xuan Ming waved his hand. "Given our relationship, you don't need to do that. Giving you power is so you can work better."
"I know that moving directly from the Empire to the Federation is a huge step, and the resistance will be immense. Neither the interests of the old nobility nor the mindset of the remnants of the two great empires can be changed overnight."
"However, if there is absolute military support to supervise and oversee things, many things become much simpler."
Xuan Ming looked at Ning Fengzhi and Bai Chenxiang.
"As for Chen Xin and Gu Rong... I'll ask Bibi Dong in a while to see if she's willing to share a portion of the Asura Divine Power."
"If we get a few Divine Officer from the Asura God to be the enforcers, I think those disobedient people will behave much better."
"One hundred years."
Xuan Ming raised one finger.
"I'm giving you one hundred years. One hundred years from now, I want to see a truly unified and prosperous Douluo Federation, free from all barriers."
Is it possible?
Ning Fengzhi a deep breath, and the shock in his eyes transformed into a determined light.
He knew that this was a test given to him by Xuan Ming, but also an opportunity for the entire Douluo Continent.
"Your subordinate... will certainly not fail in your mission!"
After finishing explaining the trivial matters of the Douluo Continent, Xuan Ming did not linger.
To him now, everything in the mortal world is too insignificant, so insignificant that even those earth-shattering grudges and feuds of the past are now nothing more than dust in the blink of an eye.
He tore through space, took a single step, and was already back in the Divine Realm.
Nine-colored divine light swirled around him, and the central hub of the Divine Realm trembled slightly at his return, as if cheering for its master's return.
However, before Xuan Ming could catch his breath, a familiar figure appeared in front of him in a hurry, accompanied by a fragrant breeze.
It's Bibi Dong.
Now, clad in the Asura God Armor, with dark red Divine Power flowing around her, she exudes an even more fierce and ruthless aura than her already noble and aloof demeanor.
But at this moment, the look in her eyes as she looked at Xuan Ming lacked some of its usual majesty and was replaced by an inexplicable urgency.
Chapter 486 A Lively Day
Where did you go just now?
Bibi Dong's tone was somewhat hurried, even carrying a hint of accusation, " The Divine Power fluctuations in the Divine Realm suddenly weakened for a moment just now, although they quickly recovered, but I know that was because you left."
Xuan Ming was taken aback.
His current Godhead is closely related to the Divine Realm; he himself is the core of the Divine Realm. If he were to leave, it would indeed cause subtle fluctuations in the laws of the Divine Realm.
"Nothing serious," Xuan Ming waved his hand casually. "Just dealing with some old messes. The Clear Sky Sect people, and some future plans for the Spirit Hall Empire."
