Douluo: This Soul Master Has a Little Bit of Luck

Aside from the Upper Three Sects, the Star Luo Empire was actually pleased with the establishment of the Spirit Empire.

The reason was simple: even the Star Luo Empire was well aware of the news that Qi Lin had become a Divinity.

And Qi Lin had a close relationship with the current Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire.

If Heaven Dou suddenly harbored the idea of annexing Star Luo, how could the Star Luo Empire resist?

Could the Star Luo Empire's million-strong army stop a Divinity?

Although they hadn't witnessed a Divinity act firsthand, it probably wouldn't be difficult.

For this reason, the current Emperor of the Star Luo Empire, upon hearing the news, immediately dispatched a delegation to Heaven Dou City, hoping to sign a peace treaty with the Heaven Dou Emperor, Xue Qinghe.

Additionally, the Star Luo Emperor personally visited the Zhu family and entrusted a member of the Zhu family to go to Heaven Dou Academy, attempting to get closer to Qi Lin, only asking that Qi Lin remain neutral.

After the Spirit Empire was established, the Star Luo Emperor again sent an envoy to Spirit City to congratulate Empress Bibi Dong on her nation's founding, while also wanting to sign a peace treaty with her.

Unfortunately, Bibi Dong directly refused!

The ambition of the Spirit Empire was obvious!

However, no one knew where Bibi Dong got her confidence from!

But soon, they knew where Bibi Dong's confidence came from!

Because Qi Lin had people spread the word, directly stating his support for the Spirit Empire and expressing his hope to see the continent unified.

If those stubborn individuals didn't want the continent unified, then he wouldn't mind stretching his muscles.

And almost at the same time, Spirit Hall dispatched two major delegations to the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, with a very simple purpose.

It was to persuade them to surrender!

Saying it was persuasion wasn't entirely accurate; it was more of a threat!

Once this news spread, it once again caused a huge stir on the continent.

No one understood why Qi Lin, who was as close as brothers with the Heaven Dou Emperor Xue Qinghe, would side with the Spirit Empire.

One must know that besides his relationship with Xue Qinghe, Qi Lin was also a Duke of the Heaven Dou Empire!

Could it be that the Spirit Empire promised Qi Lin the title of a Prince?

But with his current strength, even the Heaven Dou Empire could also enfeoff him as a Prince, couldn't they?

Everyone was puzzled, and in the Heaven Dou Empire's court, various nobles and ministers repeatedly questioned the current Heaven Dou Emperor, "Xue Qinghe," asking if he had fallen out with Qi Lin.

And "Xue Qinghe" naturally denied it one by one, and feigned a sigh as he revealed the reason why Qi Lin favored the Spirit Empire more.

"Alas, Brother Qi Lin dislikes the corruption within Heaven Dou, while Spirit Hall has been closer to the common people in recent years, thus gaining his favor. Everyone should know that Brother Qi Lin comes from humble origins."

"My beloved ministers, now that Brother Qi Lin is determined to help Spirit Hall unify the continent, what do you say we should do now?"

"Many of you should have some understanding of his strength."

"Xue Qinghe" sat on the throne in the great hall, sighing deeply, his face filled with desolation.

And when he looked at the ministers below the steps, his eyes revealed a look of anticipation, as if hoping that among the ministers, someone could help him solve this problem.

Upon hearing "Xue Qinghe's" words, the ministers looked at each other, and for a moment, no one dared to speak.

No one wanted to be the first to speak out.

After all, if you stand up now and say to fight, what if you anger Qi Lin?

This person is a living legend who can even kill a Divinity!

But if you say surrender, what if you anger the Emperor and get punished by him?

After all, what Emperor wishes to see his own foundation destroyed in his hands?

"Xue Qinghe" looked at the hesitant expressions of the ministers below, a barely perceptible hint of joy flashing in his eyes, while in his heart, he marveled at Qi Lin's immense power.

If it were in the Star Luo Empire, it might not be so intense.

But in Heaven Dou, too many people had witnessed the pressure exuded by a Divinity, especially on the night the Asura God appeared; the pressure he exuded almost enveloped the entire Heaven Dou City, making Heaven Dou City seem like it was facing the end of the world.

It was precisely for this reason that the ministers held such reverence for Qi Lin.

After a long time, someone finally gritted their teeth and took the lead, saying, "Your Majesty, forgive this old subject for speaking frankly, why don't you consult School Master Ning? This old subject heard that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's young princess has an extraordinary relationship with Duke Qi Lin; perhaps School Master Ning can persuade Duke Qi Lin not to act."

"Yes, if School Master Ning can persuade Duke Qi Lin, then perhaps we can still unite with the Star Luo Empire and fight a decisive battle against the Spirit Empire."

"But if School Master Ning cannot persuade Qi Lin, and even changes his stance because of Qi Lin, then I think we don't need to resist, because in the end, it will only be a futile resistance."

Seeing someone take the lead, the ministers spoke up one after another, expressing their opinions.

Among them, the surrender faction naturally accounted for the vast majority.

In their view, even if the Spirit Empire unified the continent, they would still need officials to govern internal affairs, right?

If that's the case, who cares who they work for?

Especially those officials who still had some principles and capabilities, they were even more self-righteous.

Because people like them, even if the dynasty changed, would still not lose their jobs.

"You… you all…"

"Xue Qinghe" pointed at those below who were speaking of surrender, his body trembling slightly, his face filled with desolation.

Many ministers, however, watched this scene with a hidden sense of guilt.

But there was nothing they could do; their lives were more important!

Finally, "Xue Qinghe" slumped onto the throne, looking dejected, and sighed, "I will go ask Teacher. You may all disperse!"

…

On the other side, the Star Luo Empire's court was incredibly intense.

An radical official loudly said, "Your Majesty, let's fight the Spirit Empire! Even if that Qi Lin helps the Spirit Empire, I don't believe he alone can kill all of us."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present couldn't help but shiver.

Such words should not be spoken!

Better safe than sorry!

After all, someone who could easily kill even a Divinity, couldn't he also kill these insignificant people?

In the end, the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires were entangled in a dilemma between fighting and surrendering.

It wasn't until half a month later, when the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School publicly announced its support for the Spirit Empire, that the Heaven Dou Empire, seeing that the tide had turned, chose to surrender to the Spirit Empire.

And the Heaven Dou Emperor, "Xue Qinghe," was led by a Titled Douluo of the Spirit Empire to Spirit City, eventually being enfeoffed as the Duke of Anle.

At least he was still a Duke, wasn't he!

And the Star Luo Empire, seeing that the Heaven Dou Empire had already surrendered, while cursing Xue Qinghe for his lack of backbone, also submitted a surrender letter to the Spirit Empire.

Ultimately, the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire was enfeoffed as the White Tiger Duke.

After the two Empires successively surrendered, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Lower Four Sects also successively pledged their allegiance.

Clear Sky Sect: No, are you playing with us? We just decided to come out and fight the Spirit Empire, and now you're telling me the Spirit Empire has unified the continent?
