By the time the sun had fully risen, the battle in Dragon's Glory City was completely over! The final outcome, naturally, was a complete victory for Dragon's Glory City!
Under pressure from Xiao Ye and Uncle Li, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo wanted to use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but Uncle Li and Xiao Ye would never give them the chance, never allowing them to use it.
Ultimately, Gui Mei Douluo was severely injured, so Chrysanthemum Douluo abandoned Xiao Ye and immediately fled with Ghost Douluo. After all, their combined attack had been broken, and continuing the fight would not end well.
As for Bei Na, after the " Galaxy Annihilation " attack, Snake Lance Douluo was as if he had been roasted alive, lying on the verge of death in the huge meteorite crater.
However, the sheer power of his Martial Soul Avatar was extraordinary, and he managed to escape successfully. Bei Na, having exhausted herself, did not pursue him further.
The most tragic person should be Thunder Bear Douluo. Under Sword Douluo's fierce attack, he lost one of his arms and could no longer fight. In the end, he escaped from Dragon's Glory City with Qian Jun Douluo.
After defeating their respective opponents, the group rushed to the East Gate battlefield. With their arrival, the Divine Court proved even more vulnerable, and after half of its forces were wiped out, the remaining members fled in panic.
After their resounding victory, everyone cheered under the sunlight, rejoicing in this exhilarating triumph! Bibi Dong, watching the slowly rising sun, couldn't help but wonder, "I wonder if everything is going well on my younger brothers' side?"
Inside Heaven Dou City Heaven Dou City, after arranging everything properly, Qi Ling immediately dispatched troops to spread the news of her victory, telling everyone in the world that the legitimate ruler of the Heaven Dou Empire had returned and the traitor Xue Qinghe had been driven away!
Upon hearing this news, the original residents of Heaven Dou City naturally spread the word and cheered. They gradually moved back, and Heaven Dou City gradually returned to its former prosperity.
Meanwhile, various forces within the Heaven Dou Empire sent their congratulations to Xue Ke, congratulating her on her return to the rightful throne, saying that the Heaven Dou Empire was indeed protected by the gods, and that Xue Ye could rest in peace in the afterlife, and so on.
Qi Ling didn't care about these people's blessings, and neither did the people of Heaven Dou City, because they already knew these people's true colors. If it weren't for Qi Ling's presence, they probably still wouldn't have taken Xue Ke seriously.
And so, a month later, everything had returned to normal. Heaven Dou City had even become more prosperous than before, and the people who had fled to Dragon's Glory City with Qi Ling had returned to Heaven Dou City.
After absorbing Heaven Dou Academy and Four Elements Academy, Shrek Academy's original campus was no longer sufficient. After some negotiations, the entire academy was relocated to the Heaven Dou Academy, and Heaven Dou Academy was officially renamed " Shrek Academy "!
At the opening ceremony of the new academy, Qi Ling smiled and said to Flender, "Well, Dean, didn't I tell you before? Sooner or later, Shrek Academy will return, and we'll be studying here!"
Flender couldn't help but laugh, "Hmm, Qi Ling, I really have to admit it. Who would have thought that one day all of this would actually come true! And you're no longer that little student, but a dignified Prince Protector of the Nation!"
"Even if I am a prince protecting the nation, I will always be your student. I will never forget the kindness and guidance you have shown me!" Qi Ling Qi Ling said.
After everything settled down, there was still one problem that needed to be solved: when should the new king ascend the throne?
As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Although Xue Ke is now the rightful heir to the throne, she cannot be considered legitimate until she ascends the throne and announces this to the world.
This was naturally the issue that the ministers and lords were most concerned about. In fact, in order to show their loyalty to the empress they trusted, everyone advised Xue Ke to ascend the throne as soon as possible to avoid any mistakes.
Xue Ke didn't take what these people said to heart at all. She only told Qi Ling everything afterward, wanting to hear her teacher's opinion.
Looking at the obedient Xue Ke, Qi Ling couldn't help but feel helpless. This girl was clearly capable enough to be the ruler of a country, but she still couldn't get rid of her habit of relying on him.
"So Xue Ke, what are your own thoughts? When do you want to ascend the throne?" Qi Ling asked.
Xue Ke thought for a moment and said, "I don't know either, teacher. Actually, I don't really want to be the king. If you, teacher..."
" Xue Ke, you must not say anything more. As a king, you must have the awareness of a king, otherwise you will be letting down your subjects," Qi Ling interrupted Xue Ke.
Xue Ke stuck out her tongue helplessly and said, "Alright, then teacher, when do you think would be a good time for me to ascend the throne?"
"Yes, let's set it for two months from now. According to imperial custom, six months after Xue Ye's passing is a suitable time," Qi Ling said. "Moreover, two months will allow for sufficient preparation."
"Yes, teacher, I'll listen to you!" Xue Ke said.
Looking at Xue Ke's obedient demeanor, Qi Ling couldn't help but sigh helplessly and said, " Xue Ke, I know you're a good girl, but you'll be the Empress in the future, so you need to have some dignity! You can't keep acting like this, or others will think you're easy to bully."
"Huh? No way! I only act like that in front of my teacher!" Xue Ke pouted. "If you don't believe me, ask the people in Dragon's Glory City. They're usually so scary to me!"
"Really? Then it seems I haven't observed carefully enough." Qi Ling said, patting Xue Ke's head. "From now on, you don't need to worry too much about your teacher. Your teacher will support your decisions, so just go for it."
"I know, teacher! I knew you were the best to me!" Xue Ke said, throwing herself into Qi Ling's arms, making Qi Ling sigh helplessly again. This was hardly the behavior of a queen.
After that, in order to expand military equipment, and also to obtain new materials to develop his own Hidden Weapon, Tang San Tang San to go to City of Metal after consulting with Tai Tan in order to purchase some rare metals.
"Oh? The City of Metal?" Upon hearing this news, Qi Ling immediately became interested. "That place sounds amazing! Xiao San, when are you going? I want to go with you!"
Tang San exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Big brother, you're interested in these things too? Have you been to City of Metal?"
"Of course, otherwise where do you think I got the materials for those ten Barrett Sniper Rifle?" Qi Ling laughed. "And this time, I have some entirely new things I want to make."
