Chapter 250 Unification
War is always the best catalyst for the progress of civilization.

There will definitely be a so-called war of unification between the Sun-Moon Empire and the three kingdoms of the original continent. This is an unstoppable fact.

If we look at it from the original perspective, even if Huo Yuhao becomes a god and temporarily ends this war, the Sun-Moon Empire will definitely launch another war and complete unification in the future.

This is an absolute technological crush and also the trend of progress of the times. However, in this life, all trajectories have been changed. Although the Sun-Moon Empire is still powerful, it is no longer as smooth as when it started the war in the original book. This is not absolute, but at least it is like this within the territory of Xingluo.

……

In the void space.

Shu Yan was guiding the origin of the plane to absorb energy from the abyss plane, and beside him, Alex, dressed in a black robe, was also guiding the origin of the undead world to integrate into the Douluo Continent.

This space seemed to have no concept of time, and everything around it emitted a faint white light. This omnipresent light was very soft, making people’s hearts unconsciously return to peace and tranquility. However, with the continuous injection of powerful energy, the color of this light was gradually changing, evolving towards pure gold, and the aura it exuded became increasingly powerful and vigorous.

Generally speaking, this is the core of the entire Douluo plane and the place with the most abundant energy in the entire plane. Here, the most subtle changes in the entire plane can be observed at all times. It can be said that this is a so-called civilization observation station, and it holds the supreme authority of the Douluo plane and has the power and ability to regulate the development of civilization.

After a long time, Shu Yan, dressed in white, slowly opened his eyes. Alex beside him also opened his eyes, looked at him, and said:

“War and unification… are ultimately the indispensable foundations for the progress of civilization. Only war can truly achieve unification and bring about the so-called peace and tranquility.”

Shu Yan’s gaze passed through this space, as if he could directly see everything on Douluo Continent.

After a moment, he retracted his indifferent gaze and said:
“This is an unavoidable war, and war will bring endless death and loss, but for the development of civilization, even if some people are unwilling, they are destined to take up the sword for countless reasons.”

“For now, I don’t believe that gods cannot interfere in the affairs of the mortal world. Although I am the Lord of the Plane, I am different from the previous Lords of the Plane. I am a human being, not the incarnation of the original consciousness of the plane. I have my own selfish desires and positions. What I want is the laws and order that are formulated according to my will.”

“Mr. Yi, please inform them that they don’t need to continue watching the show. Let’s resolve everything as soon as possible. Please take care of everything here for the time being. I still have things to do.”

Alex smiled softly, then said:

“Go ahead. I understand what you mean. Leave everything here to me. Don’t worry.”

The expression on Shu Yan’s face eased slightly, but his footsteps did not stop, and soon he disappeared from Alex’s sight.

Alex was a little absent-minded, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind, but in the end, they only turned into a fleeting smile. Then, he stopped thinking about it and turned to stare at the halo emitting soft golden light, and his figure was slowly swallowed by it…

……

Time passed quickly and the situation on the mainland changed rapidly.

The two gods chose to intervene in the war, and for a moment, the original battlefield situation changed dramatically.

In just one night, the Sun-Moon army that had entered the Xingluo territory was slaughtered. Although the soul guides that the Sun-Moon Empire had kept in reserve were powerful, they were still far from enough to face the real gods. In just one month, the Sun-Moon army that had been unstoppable was defeated again and again, and was finally forced back into the Sun-Moon territory.

Bibi Dong acted ruthlessly. As the world of the undead gradually merged into the origin of Douluo Continent, she vaguely felt as if something was returning to her body in a unique form, and her strength was recovering little by little. This process was very long, but Bibi Dong was very excited. Therefore, in order to express her joy and excitement, she slaughtered the Sun and Moon royal family overnight and completely turned the temporary imperial city of the Sun and Moon Empire into a dead place.

Compared to Bibi Dong’s ruthlessness and bloodlust, Xueling is much calmer.

She had no intention of causing excessive killings, but she would unconditionally obey Shu Yan’s orders.

From the moment Shu Yan became a god, she was no longer Shu Yan’s protector or predecessor. She was the most loyal guardian and supporter of the Ancient Ice God. Now, the object of her loyalty and protection was Shu Yan.

Facing those enemies who resisted desperately, her methods were decisive but also merciful. At least she didn’t let those people feel any pain before burying them forever in the crystal clear ice, and they have been sealed under the dirt of the world ever since…

The plane is undergoing subtle changes every day, and everyone who is closely related to Shu Yan can feel this change.

During this period of time, the Xing Luo army broke through the resistance of the Sun and Moon Empire and marched straight in. No one would have thought that in just three months, everything would be changed. They were supposed to resist the invasion of the enemy country, but instead they stepped into the territory of the former invaders and engraved the mark of Xing Luo on them one by one.

The remaining forces of Sun and Moon could no longer cause any trouble. After retreating again and again, the last remaining royal family took those powerful generals who were unwilling to surrender and accept reality and fled overseas on a large number of warships. The only remaining Extreme Douluo of the Holy Spirit Church was also killed by Bibi Dong. As for those forces affiliated with the Holy Spirit Church… most of them were destroyed, and a small number were turned into slaves by Bibi Dong.

At this point, Xingluo’s heyday has been completely exposed to the entire continent, and Tianhun and Douling countries have gradually discovered a sad fact.

Xing Luo’s desire for unity is in no way inferior to that of the Sun-Moon Empire, which disappeared into history in just three months, shocking countless people.

Feelings of worry and fear were spreading, but many people changed their minds and thought that Xingluo was still part of the original Douluo Continent after all, and it was better to be unified by “their own people” than to have the land passed down from their ancestors occupied by aliens from the Sun and Moon Empire.

This was a ridiculous idea, but it also gave them a little pitiful comfort. Everyone knew that the overall situation was already determined and no one could change it.

Even if someone wants to resist, the chance of success is infinitely close to zero.

With two gods beyond human imagination in charge, the two empires gradually realized that their resistance was ultimately futile. So when the Xing Luo army officially entered the territories of the two countries, it could be said that they encountered almost no resistance, and everything went unexpectedly smoothly.

The royal families of the two empires who were willing to surrender were soon brought back to Xingluo City. Some royal family members could not accept the reality and chose to lead a small number of forces to flee in advance, but most royal family members chose to accept the reality and came to Xingluo City. In the future, these royal family members and forces who escaped from the three kingdoms will become the main targets of Xingluo’s hunting and hunting. As for the two continents overseas, they are also destined to be conquered by the Xingluo army in the future.

The former emperors of the two countries were successively conferred the title of hereditary Duke of Xingluo, just like the former White Tiger royal family.

Of course, the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion is now in name only. When Dai Hao was leading his troops into Xingluo, he was ambushed by the Sun and Moon Soul Guide Corps. Marshal Dai Hao was killed on the spot by a ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shell detonated by the opponent’s soul guide at close range. In the end, there were only a few survivors in the army he led.

Perhaps they had sensed something in advance, or perhaps it was Dai Hao’s arrangement before he left, the two direct sons of the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion chose to continue studying at Shrek Academy, and the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion no longer had any other qualified heirs. After Xu Jiawei issued an edict to comfort the White Tiger Duchess’s wife, he did not make any other comments.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that the inheritance of the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion…will be completely cut off sooner or later…

The title of the Duke of White Tiger was temporarily “sealed”.

The overall situation has been initially settled. The Xing Luo army is still suppressing the resistance forces everywhere. The continent is still in turmoil, but it is much more stable than the previous few months. The economy and trade have begun to recover with the strong support of Xing Luo. The traces left by the war have slowly disappeared with the passage of time. Although many people are still a little uncomfortable, they gradually find that their lives have hardly changed compared to before. Even free martial arts awakening halls have appeared near large cities.

This discovery made many people happy. What is the biggest difficulty for ordinary people to overcome their class barriers in Douluo Continent?
That is, they may never be able to awaken their martial souls and possess soul power in their entire lives. Now there is a glimmer of hope and dawn in this phenomenon, even if it is just a glimmer, or even more hope only exists in imagination and hope, but it is still enough to make them ecstatic.

Sometimes, civilians are just so easy to satisfy.

When everything was developing steadily, a large family from the former Sun-Moon Empire also moved to Xingluo City.

Jing Hongchen stood in front of the gate of the Xingluo Royal Soul Guidance Equipment Research Institute, and behind him were many researchers and soul guides from Mingde Hall.

In that “War of Unification”, Kong Deming, the strongest man of the Sun and Moon Royal Family, was killed by Xue Ling with a single sword. After a series of careful considerations, Jing Hongchen, the contemporary head of Mingde Hall, was forced to surrender due to reality.

Even now, Jing Hongchen still finds it unbelievable when he thinks of the conversation he had with Shu Yan in the Xingluo Palace. In such a short period of time, everything really changed drastically, and everything was just as Shu Yan said at the time, extremely dreamy, yet full of cruelty and reality.

Originally he was still suffering from torment and torture in his heart, but until he came to Xingluo City, the promise made to him by Xu Jiujiu completely dispelled all the negative emotions in his heart. He only felt that endless energy was pouring into his body again, and for a moment the whole world became infinitely beautiful again.

In the future, he and those former Mingdetang members who are willing to surrender will make unimaginable contributions to the development of soul guide technology in the entire continent, and his life will definitely not be missing in the records of the best soul guides on the continent.

And this is only the smallest part of the long-promised promise.

……

Star Luo Palace.

The afternoon sun was warm and affectionate. Xu Jiujiu looked at the mountain of documents on the table and rubbed his brows helplessly. Dugu Yan brought tea and pastries, and then waited quietly by the side without disturbing Xu Jiujiu.

Since the unification of the continent, the overwhelming affairs have completely occupied the time of many ministers and major members of the royal family like a death warrant.

Xu Jiujiu is fine here, at least she doesn’t hate dealing with these matters, and with the help of everyone, she at least has some time for herself every day. Unlike Xu Jiawei in the Starlight Palace, he has been so busy recently that he, a Super Douluo, is almost physically exhausted.

However, this is also normal. In the early days of unification, there were still many problems and troubles to be solved in the newly divided provinces of the empire, and the problems they had to take into account were far more than these. The workload can be imagined to be huge.

By the time I finished everything, it was already around eight o’clock in the evening.

Looking at the starry sky, he sighed tiredly. Then he heard sporadic footsteps from outside the door, and the people coming were a group of girls.

Walking in the front were Su Tong and Ling Luochen, and after them, almost everyone was present.

“How was it, nothing unexpected happened?”

After everyone in the group casually sat down on the sofa, Xu Jiujiu spoke.

“Fortunately, we have eliminated a lot of former Sun-Moon resistance forces in recent days, but these people know the terrain of the former Sun-Moon Empire much better than we do. In the end, some of them escaped on warships hidden on the western coast of the former Sun-Moon Empire. Our people chased them to the waters near the deep sea. There were too many uncertainties ahead, so we didn’t chase them any further. But after this period of cleanup, the west can basically be said to be stable. Even if there are still resistance forces with illusions, they will not dare to show up again in the short term.”

Su Tong leaned on Ling Luochen’s shoulder, her cold face also showing a hint of fatigue, but after hearing Xu Jiujiu’s question, she still answered it as detailed as possible.

Xu Jiujiu nodded after hearing this, and then said:
“There will be people assigned to solve these hidden troubles later. Everyone has been busy for a while. Don’t leave Xingluo City recently. Take a good rest and practice for a while. Xingluo City is preparing to expand and renovate again. This time, the city construction will incorporate a lot of soul guidance technology from the former Sun Moon Empire. In the future, this place will be the core of the entire continent.”

Everyone nodded in unison, their eyes filled with fatigue that could not be concealed, but beyond this fatigue, there was also a hint of obvious excitement.

After a busy day, Xu Jiujiu touched her flat belly and remembered that she had only eaten a few pieces of cakes today. After thinking about it, she whispered a few words to Dugu Yan beside her, and then Dugu Yan walked out of the hall and went towards the kitchen with two maids.

Soon, dozens of delicious dishes were brought over by the maids. Xu Jiujiu looked at the many eyes looking at him and felt a little amused. He tapped the table lightly, then coughed lightly and said:

“Now that things have come to this, let’s eat first.”

Everyone looked at each other, then nodded together…
