The Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire declared war on the Spirit Hall Empire. During the Battle of Jialing Pass, Dugu Bo participated in the battle multiple times.
He unleashed the full power of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison upon the ground of Jialing Pass, poisoning and killing a large number of Soul Master from the Spirit Hall Empire. The number of Soul Master he poisoned was more than ten times the total number of Soul Masters killed by all the powerful figures in the Heaven Dou Empire combined, plunging the Spirit Hall Empire into fear and making the " Poison Douluo " infamous far and wide.
It can be said that it was precisely because of Dugu Bo's existence that the battle situation was changed.
This shows that Dugu Bo's role is extremely important, so it is necessary to win him over to our side and use him for our own purposes.
Just now, the system announced that Yu Tianheng had completed the task of curing Dugu Bo's poison and bestowed upon him the cultivation technique " Hundred Poisons Mysterious Skill " to change his original fate, rewarding him with 10,000 Heavenly Mandate Points.
At the same time, the system releases the main quest.
However, there are three options in this main quest.
In the original storyline, this continent had only one ending: the Spirit Hall Empire was destroyed, and the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire ruled independently, without interfering with each other.
To obtain enough Heavenly Mandate Points, one is destined to change the original ending.
Therefore, the system presents three options.
The first option: The host helps the Heaven Dou Empire complete the task of unifying the continent, destroying the Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Hall Empire. Completing this main quest will reward the host with billions of Heavenly Mandate Points.
The reason there are so many Heavenly Mandate Points is that when the ending is achieved, it changes not only the fate of some people, but the fate of everyone. As a result, the number of Heavenly Mandate Points can become extremely terrifying.
The second option: The host helps the Star Luo Empire complete the task of unifying the continent and destroying the Spirit Hall Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire. The subsequent rewards remain unchanged.
The third option: The host helps the Spirit Hall Empire complete the task of unifying the continent and destroying the two great empires; the subsequent rewards remain unchanged.
After looking at these three options, Yu Tianheng frowned slightly.
Under normal circumstances, Yu Tianheng should have chosen the third option: helping the Spirit Hall unify the continent.
After all, the Spirit Hall Empire was the villain in the original story, and Pope Bibi Dong was ambitious and wanted to unify the continent. Unfortunately, it was ultimately destroyed by the protagonist group.
It's truly a great pity.
In Yu Tianheng's view, there was nothing wrong with unifying the continent. Once the continent was unified, wars would decrease, and ordinary people could enjoy a more stable living environment. What was wrong with that?
Conversely, if the continent is not unified, various forces will fight and kill each other to seize territory, just like during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.
In the end, it is only ordinary people who suffer.
Therefore, Yu Tianheng fully supports the unification of the mainland.
However, Yu Tianheng did not like this unified force.
Needless to say, the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire would still be ruled by the Heaven Dou Imperial Family family and the Star Luo Imperial Family if the continent were unified. As for the Spirit Hall Empire, it would most likely be ruled by the Angel lineage.
If that's the case, the other forces will either submit or perish, including the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
This greatly displeased Yu Tianheng. He had worked so hard to help these forces achieve the important task of unifying the continent, but in the end, he still had to rely on them for survival. How could he tolerate this!
Given his temperament, he would absolutely not submit willingly; not only would Yu Yuanzhen not agree with him.
After all, a true man is born under heaven and earth; how can he remain subservient to others for long!
Unifying the continent is possible, but only under the leadership of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and under the leadership of Yu Tianheng.
He would never agree to any other force trying to suppress him, regardless of which side it was.
Therefore, Yu Tianheng abandoned the three options without hesitation and decided to take the fourth path. This path might be very difficult, or even lead to failure, but if he succeeded, the benefits would be extremely generous, far exceeding the rewards for completing the first three tasks!
In the Sunset Forest, within the Yin-Yang Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Yu Tianheng sat cross-legged, diligently cultivating. Having determined his future path, his mind was clear.
However, regardless of the choice, strength is the deciding factor. Without sufficient strength as support, everything is just a fantasy.
I am still too weak. I am not even a Titled Douluo yet. My current strength is only enough to deal with Soul Emperor around level 60. Let alone plotting to unify the continent, I can't even defeat a slightly stronger Soul Beast.
Therefore, improving one's own cultivation is the most urgent task.
Soon, a month passed, Yu Tianheng diligently cultivated in the cultivation environment of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
For over a month, he circulated the " Nine Heavens Divine Lightning Prison Suppression Scripture " day and night, using the power of Thunder to temper his body, while simultaneously using the power of ice and fire to temper his meridians. Each time his Soul Power circulated through the body, it felt like being hammered by thunder and fire.
As the morning light of the thirtieth day swept across the icy pool, Yu Tianheng's body surged with blue light, and the phantom of scales appeared and disappeared on the panel. His arduous cultivation had finally yielded a breakthrough, and his level 48 Soul Power surged through his body like Thunder. The lightning that sprang from his fingertips shattered the ice crystals around him into stardust.
At the same time, Dugu Bo was also cultivating the " Hundred Poisons Mysterious Skill " that Yu Tianheng had passed down to him in the other mansion. After a month of hard work, he had also cultivated the technique to the entry level and completely controlled the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison in his body. This also meant that he would never suffer the backlash of his own Martial Soul again in the future, which made him extremely happy.
At the same time, the toxins that previously required a large amount of Soul Power to suppress were completely recovered, which further enhanced Dugu Bo's strength, allowing him to successfully break through to level 92 and greatly increase his power.
Having both achieved breakthroughs, the two finally had a day off, so they found a quiet spot in the villa to sit down and drink tea.
The purple clay teapot beside the stone table was steaming. Dugu Bo picked up the lid and skimmed off the foam, while Yu Tianheng lowered his eyes and gently blew on the teacup.
Suddenly, Dugu Bo's fingertips trembled, and the piece of black jade engraved with Jade Phosphorous Serpent patterns in his sleeve suddenly became hot—it was Dugu Yan's communication token.
As his pupils contracted slightly, Yu Tianheng saw a wisp of eerie green light darting through the depths of the dark jade, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Dugu Bo waved his hand. "It's nothing. Yan'er is contacting me through this token. She must be worried because we haven't been back for so long."
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng smiled slightly, "In that case, senior, why don't you bring Yanyan along to cultivate with me, and also pass on the ' Hundred Poisons Mysterious Skill ' to her, so that she can completely control the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison and avoid any backlash in the future?"
"That's exactly what I was thinking," Dugu Bo replied.
He then got up, left the residence, and headed to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to find Dugu Yan, intending to bring her back.
Yu Tianheng continued to cultivate inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Several days later, Dugu Bo brought Dugu Yan back.
As the gate opened, Dugu Yan darted through the gate like an arrow released from a bow, crashing headfirst into Yu Tianheng's arms.
Yu Tianheng instinctively supported Dugu Yan's waist and pulled her into his arms.
