Xu Tianran's Prying!

"Young Master Xu, would you be willing to make the Spirit Contract Pagoda the state religion of our Sun Moon Empire?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xingyu frowned immediately. "A state religion?"

Xu Tianran actually wants the Spirit Contract Pagoda to become the state religion of the Sun Moon Empire? What is he doing?

It's important to know that the Spirit Contract Pagoda is an organization established by countless talents from the four great empires and the Soul Beast Clan.

The reason this is possible is mainly because the organization is neutral, which makes people from all countries willing to Spirit Contract Pagoda.

If one day Spirit Contract Pagoda were to suddenly side with that empire, the staff from other empires would certainly object and plan to leave Spirit Contract Pagoda.

The only way to prevent this from happening is if the entire Douluo Continent is unified by one of the empires.

Admittedly, Xu Xingyu wanted to make the Spirit Contract Pagoda lean towards the Star Luo Empire and secretly support the Star Luo Empire's dominance.

But that doesn't mean we can openly make Spirit Contract Pagoda the state religion of the Star Luo Empire at this stage!

And how exactly did Xu Tianran dare to ask such a question in front of Gu Yuena?

Xu Tianran looked at Xu Xingyu, who remained silent, and said with a smile, "It seems that even Young Master Xu is a little undecided."

"After all, this time I want to discuss a major event like whether the Spirit Contract Pagoda can become the state religion of the Sun Moon Empire. This issue requires careful consideration, so I still hope to have a detailed discussion with Her Gu Yuena."

Xu Xingyu fully understood Xu Tianran Tianran's implicit message that he, a mere child, couldn't make such a big decision and that it was better to let the adults handle it.

Xu Xingyu sneered, her tone laced with sarcasm. "The Sun Moon Empire is now colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult, this Evil Soul Master organization, and yet it still has the nerve to talk about a state religion?"

Xu Tianran's expression changed slightly. He cursed Xu Xingyu inwardly, but dared not show his dissatisfaction on his face.

He truly hadn't expected that the intelligence possessed by the Spirit Contract Pagoda would include this information.

To this, he could only explain, "Young Master Xu, Elder Master Gu, I think you are also aware that facing the Holy Spirit Cult, a force backed by Limit Douluo, our Sun Moon Empire simply has no way to refuse their demands."

"Therefore, in order to prevent our people from being harassed by the Holy Spirit Cult, we have no choice but to accept it as the state Holy Spirit Cult, bearing the burden of humiliation."

"But if your Spirit Contract Pagoda is willing to assume the position of the state religion, then our Sun Moon Empire will definitely do everything in its power to help Spirit Contract Pagoda eliminate the Holy Spirit Cult, this Evil Soul Master organization."

Xu Xingyu remained noncommittal, saying calmly, "The Spirit Contract Pagoda is a neutral organization and will not favor any country at this stage."

"Hahaha, neutral forces!!! What a fine neutral forces!!!"

After Xu Tianran burst into laughter, he said, "Then can this young tower master, who comes from a noble family in the Star Luo Empire, tell me, did you really not consider having the Spirit Contract Pagoda secretly support the Star Luo Empire after taking over the Spirit Contract Pagoda?"

"Especially considering that your fiancée Xu Jiujiu, was once the eldest princess of the Star Luo Empire."

"Don't use the fact that she's been deposed as an excuse; you and I both know that's just empty talk."

Xu Xingyu simply shrugged and answered truthfully, "I do have that thought."

"That..."

"Even if I wanted the Spirit Contract Pagoda to support the Star Luo Empire, the Star Luo Empire itself would need to have the resources to support everything the Spirit Contract Pagoda."

"The Star Luo Empire at this stage still cannot meet this requirement. Although it is the strongest country among the original three kingdoms of Douluo, its own foundation is not yet sufficient to make other countries disregard their national issues and accept Soul Spirit technology."

"If Star Luo Empire and Spirit Contract Pagoda join forces, their ultimate fate will be to be besieged by the other three kingdoms."

"Moreover, before I became a member of the Star Luo Empire Noble, I was the young master of the Spirit Contract Pagoda. To me, the Spirit Contract Pagoda is the most important thing."

"I may have some concern for the Star Luo Empire, but if Star Luo Empire itself is incompetent, I won't have the audacity to force Spirit Contract Pagoda to unite with the Star Luo Empire."

Xu Xingyu's answer still surprised Xu Tianran a little. He could really see that in Xu Xingyu's eyes, the Spirit Contract Pagoda was the most important thing.

Unexpectedly, Spirit Contract Pagoda Xu Xingyu actually willing to suppress her love for the country in her heart and consider this matter with rational thinking in the future.

However, he still managed to glean something from Xu Xingyu's words.

Xu Tianran smiled and said, "Oh, so according to your words, if the foundation of our Sun Moon Empire is sound, then would your Spirit Contract Pagoda be willing to support our Sun Moon Empire?"

"After all, I've seen the everyday Soul Tool you sell, as well as the armed Soul Tool. I've seen many concepts in them that are similar to those of our country."

"I believe that once our country and Spirit Contract Pagoda unite, even if the other three countries join forces, they will be unable to do anything to us."

"So, under these circumstances, can we really say that the decision to refuse our young tower masters isn't driven by selfish motives?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xingyu said calmly, "Indeed, as you said, the Sun Moon Empire is the only one of the four great empires with the national foundation to unite with the Spirit Contract Pagoda."

"Even in many aspects of Soul Guidance Technology, the Sun Moon Empire's own philosophy coincides with that of the Soul Guidance Technology Spirit Contract Pagoda."

"Therefore, from this perspective, your Sun Moon Empire is the ally that our Spirit Contract Pagoda most desires."

"But we, the Spirit Contract Pagoda, cannot trust your Sun Moon Empire. This is not because you once wanted to unify the Douluo Continent and change its name to the Sun Moon Continent."

"What this continent is ultimately called is irrelevant to us at the Spirit Contract Pagoda. We only focus on promoting the idea of coexistence between humans and Soul Beast."

"Then why don't you trust our Sun Moon Empire?" Xu Tairan asked, staring directly at Xu Xingyu.

Xu Xingyu said calmly, "The answer is simple: we will not trust a country that allies with the Holy Spirit Cult. A Evil Soul Master Evil Soul Master is only good for life; only a dead Evil Soul Master is a good Evil Soul Master. This is the attitude of our Spirit Contract Pagoda towards Evil Soul Master."

"You say that your Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult were forced to unite, but that's ultimately just your side of the story."

"I know very well that even though your Sun Moon Empire hasn't adopted the Holy Spirit Cult as its state religion, the Sun Moon Empire is still the place where the most Evil Soul Master gather."

"And when the Evil Soul Master attacked villages in your empire, you never launched an effective counterattack."

Xu Tianran hurriedly explained, "That's only because the original Douluo Three Kingdoms had a monitoring team from the Shrek Academy stationed there, which forced the Evil Soul Master to hide in our Sun Moon Empire."

"The number of Evil Soul Master who have infiltrated our country is simply beyond the capacity of one nation to handle. Although our Soul Tool are powerful, dealing with such a large number of Evil Soul Master would inevitably require the use of Soul Tool with wide-range destructive power. Once used, it is easy to accidentally injure civilians, which is why we cannot eliminate these Evil Soul Master as cleanly and efficiently as we did in the original Douluo Three Kingdoms."

"Oh? Is that so?" Xu Xingyu said dismissively, "Even so, I don't believe that with your advanced soul-guiding technology, you can't develop Soul Tool designed to trap people and solve the problem of accidental injury."

"Moreover, based on my observations of Mingdu and my understanding of the powerful figures in your Sun Moon Empire, I don't believe that a Limit Douluo -level Evil Soul Master could truly stump your Sun Moon Empire."

"After all, whether it's the things at the four corners of your Mingdu or that Silver Moon Douluo Kong Deming, they all possess the ability to contend with the limits, right?"
