The Continent-wide Expedition Alliance

Time flew by, and in the council hall of the Spirit Hall, Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire and Emperor Dai Tianfeng of the Star Luo Empire were present.

Before the meeting could begin, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan whispered a few words in Qian Xunji's ear. After Qian Xunji nodded, a laugh came from outside the door.

"Your His Holiness the Pope, two Great Emperors, how could the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect be absent from such an important event?"

Ning Fengzhi entered with a gentle smile, accompanied by Sword Douluo Chen Xin with his hands behind his back.

Before the group could exchange a few pleasantries, footsteps approached.

"The same applies to my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

Yu Yuanzhen, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, strode into the main hall.

Immediately afterwards, another commotion came from the entrance of the main hall.

Tang Chen, a tall and imposing man with flowing black hair, strode in.

"Such an important matter, our Clear Sky Sect naturally wants to get involved."

The leaders of the most powerful forces across the entire continent have all gathered at this moment.

Looking at the Upper Three Sects, Qian Xunji's lips curled up almost imperceptibly.

They've all taken the bait.

Tang Chen looked around, his brow furrowing slightly, and asked, "Where is that old codger Qian Daoliu? Why hasn't he shown up for such an important matter?"

In response to Tang Chen's question, Qian Xunji casually replied:

"Oh, you mean my old man? He was being really fussy earlier, but I managed to get him to sleep."

Tang Chen looked puzzled, but with important matters at hand overseas, he didn't bother to delve too deeply into Qian Daoliu. After all, the current Pope was Qian Xunji, and the decision-making power was in his hands.

Qian Xunji slowly unfolded the nautical chart that had been prepared in the center of the long table and began to introduce it in a loud voice.

"Since everyone is gathered here, the Spirit Hall will naturally treat you with utmost sincerity. This island is called Sea God Island, and its foundation is incredibly profound. According to recent intelligence, there are several Titled Douluo on the island, who can even command Sea Soul Beast to aid them in battle."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of everyone present narrowed. There was no doubt that this was a tough nut to crack, but it also meant that the rewards for a successful attack would be enormous.

Immediately afterwards, Qian Xunji lowered her voice and threw out the final bait:

"More importantly, the island holds the opportunity to transcend level ninety-nine and reach level one hundred to become a god!"

Upon hearing this, the entire hall fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.

For Soul Master, the Level 99 Limit Douluo is the pinnacle of known power.

The so-called gods have only existed in Nothingness and legends since ancient times.

Ning Fengzhi's refined face revealed an undisguised emotion, and he couldn't help but break the silence first.

"Your His Holiness the Pope, level ninety-nine is already the highest realm for Soul Master. Is it true that one can become a god at level one hundred?"

Although Tang Chen did not immediately ask any questions, his eyes were fixed on Qian Xunji, and his breathing became heavier involuntarily.

He knew that Qian Daoliu was the so-called Great Enshrined of the Angel God, but he had never seen the real God.

Qian Daoliu dealing with his own family secrets, and he would never reveal a single detail to him, so he couldn't tell the truth from the falsehood.

In Tang Chen's eyes, the so-called Angel God that Qian Daoliu of was nothing more than something that could increase the age of Soul Ring and raise the Soul Power Level.

Stuck at level 99, unable to find his way forward, Tang Chen was more eager to know the answer than anyone else present.

Faced with everyone's questions, Qian Xunji explained:

"Level 99 is not the end. Breaking through level 100 makes you a god."

"If we're talking about examples, my Spirit Hall —no, my Qian Family Families' ancient texts—have records of the Angel God. Legend has it that tens of thousands of years ago, evil spirits roamed the continent, causing widespread suffering. The ancestors of the Qian Family Families swept away all evil in the world, gathered the power of faith across the continent, broke through to level 100, and became the Angel God. Only then did the Spirit Hall come into being."

"And this archipelago called Sea God Island is probably a legacy left behind by the so-called Sea God, possessing the potential to break through to level 100."

Ning Fengzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help but ask, "Since that's the case, and you are all forces left behind by the gods, does that mean you can also become gods?"

Faced with Ning Fengzhi's probing, Qian Xunji shook his head and chuckled:

"Impossible. If it were possible, wouldn't our Spirit Hall have countless gods over the past ten thousand years? Gods are nothing but legends to our Spirit Hall."

"Although there are only fragments of information in ancient books, no one can determine their authenticity. But... just because the Spirit Hall can't do it doesn't mean it can't be done overseas."

Hearing Qian Xunji's ambiguous answer, most of the doubts in the hearts of the people in the hall dissipated, replaced by an irrepressible longing.

Tang Chen suddenly felt enlightened and finally understood why he had experienced such intense palpitations earlier.

It turns out that the premonition from the depths of my soul was the very opportunity to reach level 100 and become a god.

Xue Ye spoke up at the opportune moment, confirming. "The Sea Soul Master interrogated earlier all confessed that there are indeed ancient islands overseas that worship the Sea God, and their foundations are largely consistent with what His Holiness the Pope said."

Dai Tianfeng echoed his sentiments from the side.

Seeing that the emperors of the two great empires were in this position, the others had little objection to attacking Sea God Island.

Even if becoming a god at level 100 is fake, the spoils of war are real.

With the intelligence confirmed, the struggle for interests and military strength immediately began.

Confident in his invincible level 99 combat power, Tang Chen arrogantly declared, "I alone will hold off their Titled Douluo! I will contribute the most, and after the battle, my Clear Sky Sect must take the lion's share."

Looking at Tang Chen's arrogant and self-satisfied face, Qian Xunji sneered inwardly. He was truly a selfish, self-serving, and inherently Evil Tang Family.

He really does possess the Tang Chen Asura Domain, and is a potential candidate for the Asura God. Before he inherits the Rakshasa Godhood, it would be extremely risky to rashly break ties with the Tang Family and start a fight.

Moreover, he was unaware whether the Asura God possessed the ability to foresee the future and knew that Tang San would be born into the Tang Family.

Without a god-like Qian Xunji, Chihiro can only seek stability to realize her ambitions.

Since they couldn't openly attack Tang Chen, they decided to use someone else to do their dirty work.

In their past lives, Tang Chen and his great-uncle competed for supremacy in front of Bo Saixi. In this life, Tang Chen is sent to the front lines of Sea God Island so that Bo Saixi can kill him with a harpoon.

What does it have to do with Qian Xunji that the high priest of the Sea God killed the fry of the Asura God?

After using Bo Saixi to eliminate Tang Chen, the remaining juniors of the Clear Sky Sect are nothing more than fish on a chopping board, to be manipulated at will.

Thinking of this, Qian Xunji's face softened with a gentle smile, and he readily agreed to Tang Chen's request.

The others had no objections either. After all, even the most powerful Spirit Hall had no objections; they were no match for Tang Chen, who was at level 99.

Just as the alliance was about to be finalized, Ning Fengzhi suddenly threw out a question that could not be avoided.

"We know nothing about the situation on Sea God Island. If we blindly send a large army to invade, we are easily caught off guard by the Sea Soul Master who can take advantage of their home field. Even if we win, we will probably pay a heavier price than we expect."

"The most urgent task is for someone to land on the island first to ascertain the situation and find a legitimate reason for our attack."

Upon hearing this, the others immediately lowered their eyes and closed their minds.

Deep into enemy territory for reconnaissance, and also acting as a lightning rod to ignite war, the slightest carelessness could attract the combined forces of the island's powerful figures to kill you, and in the end you still have to retrieve the intelligence, it is clearly a perilous task with a slim chance of survival.

Even Tang Chen wasn't willing to be a sucker. What if becoming a god at level 100 was real? What kind of backup plan did they have? Wouldn't he, Tang Chen, be doomed?

Even without a backup plan, facing several Titled Douluo, if he pushes them too far and they decide to self-destruct, even if he is Limit Douluo, he won't fare well on the island.

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

Just as everyone was passing the buck, Qian Xunji stood up voluntarily, his expression righteous and awe-inspiring:

"Since everyone has their own difficulties, our Spirit Hall is willing to give it a try."

Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly taken aback, not understanding what Qian Xunji was trying to say, but then they were secretly overjoyed. All the top forces on the continent were here, so no matter how many schemes or tricks he had, they would be useless.

What's wrong with letting him be the sucker?

Ning Fengzhi clapped his hands in admiration. "Your His Holiness the Pope benevolent and righteous! Such selflessness is truly admirable."

Yu Yuanzhen laughed heartily, "Pope has such a commitment, I naturally agree."

Tang Chen replied, "Alright, since you're willing to be the vanguard, I have no objections."

Xue Ye and Emperor Dai Tianfeng nodded hastily, "We await His Holiness the Pope's good news."

Seeing the smug looks on everyone's faces, as if they had gotten a great deal, Qian Xunji sneered inwardly once more.

Do you really think he's a sucker?

Aren't there already excellent candidates available?

What he wanted to do from the very beginning was to build up as many enemies as possible while minimizing the number of his own people killed.

The group of individuals, each with their own ulterior motives, formally established an alliance, forming Continent-wide Expedition Alliance to jointly launch expeditions overseas.

After the meeting adjourned, the two great empires worked day and night to build warships. The Spirit Hall and the Upper Three Sects either chose to provide manpower or financial support, waiting for the expedition to begin.

Gu Yue naturally noticed this conspiracy as well, and secretly sighed in his heart, "Qian Xunji is indeed worthy of being the pawn he chose. His ability to cause trouble is truly powerful."

Moreover, how could such a grand undertaking that benefits humanity be complete without his participation?
