Chapter 1381 The Douluo Alliance is Established
"If the truth is revealed, will it cause another public outcry?"
Xue Lingxun hesitated slightly.
Because the Douling Empire has only recently stabilized, various parts of the empire are still vigorously cracking down on corruption and striving to change the public's negative perception of the empire.
Moreover, the Douling Empire's treasury is practically empty, not to mention that even the most powerful figures would have to leave something behind.
The vast resources and funds obtained from the confiscation of property were all invested in the huge gap in reconstruction.
Now, Xue Lingxun sits on this imperial throne, and the operation of the palace still relies on the support of the Xuanming Sect.
So much so that when Xue Lingxun said those words, her face flushed slightly, looking a little awkward.
"No, Mother, I think it's fine."
Another electronic voice came through.
As Xue Lingxun's image reappeared, a handsome middle-aged man appeared, holding a communication soul tool in his hand, from which the voice came.
He glanced at it for a long time, then nodded slightly.
The true emperor of the Douling Empire in public right now is Xu Sanshi.
"I think that instead of keeping it from the public and quietly investing all the resources we painstakingly extracted and seized into our strategy to fight the Abyss, it would be better to just announce that our world is facing an unprecedented crisis!"
"The Empire has just emerged from corruption, and if the people mistakenly believe that they are still in that rotten quagmire, it will be even more detrimental to the Alliance's accession."
Xu Sanshi then shared his analysis.
Xue Lingxun nodded slightly. She was just worried that the Douling Empire would have difficulty operating and would have to borrow a lot of foreign debt, which would be detrimental to its ability to gain a voice in the future alliance.
She forgot that Xu Sanshi was already a qualified emperor.
"Then, the Douling Empire agrees to announce the crisis." Xue Lingxun cast her vote directly on behalf of Xu Sanshi.
Xu Jiujiu and Xu Tianzhen had already agreed to make it public. With this number of votes, Vina nodded and gave a wry smile, "I hope everyone can strongly support the Heavenly Soul Empire in establishing a frontline base."
The Heavenly Soul Empire is the closest to the spatial passage to the Abyss World among the four great empires, and it is the one that faces the crisis most directly.
The price to pay is far greater than that of the other three great empires.
"Of course, comrade." Xu Tianzhen nodded slightly.
Even without Vina's reminder, they would abide by the alliance rules, becoming the sacrifices first and then enjoying the flowers and medals.
The Heavenly Soul Empire is the main stronghold and resource transportation point in the fight against the Abyss World.
After a brief discussion, Xu Tianzhen, Xu Jiujiu, and Xue Lingxun reached a consensus on supporting the Tianhun Empire in terms of resources.
The resources provided by the Sun Moon Empire will naturally consist of various soul tools, while the Star Luo Empire will provide unique strategic-grade rare metals. As for the Dou Ling Empire...
Xue Lingxun sighed and could only combine the Xuanming Sect's specialty pills with manpower into the support resources.
The other three empresses had no objection to this, since they already knew about the situation in the Douling Empire.
By a hair's breadth, the Douling Empire would have been the first of the four great empires to "fall in battle."
After the meeting lasted for nearly an hour, Xu Tianzhen put on his crown again and gave a soldier's salute to the three empire leaders on the screen, signifying that they were comrades-in-arms fighting together.
Upon seeing this, the three men returned the greeting with the same comradely salute.
The power supply is cut off, and the screen goes gray.
"Grand Preceptor, prepare the charter. Together with all branches of the Audu Chamber of Commerce within the Empire, I hereby declare the existence of the Abyss World."
Jing Hongchen bowed respectfully and withdrew first.
Oudu Chamber of Commerce took root in Mingdu and, in a short time, took advantage of Xu Tianran's influence to establish itself in all high-level cities within the Sun Moon Empire, except for the border areas.
Tianyu City.
Liu Jian is a businessman with some assets. He owns three shops and sells jewelry and trinkets. He lives a comfortable life.
He usually likes to call himself a wandering knight, is quite heroic, and treats his friends very well.
Although his martial soul was just a short stick and his soul power was only around level 30, he was just an ordinary and inconspicuous existence in this world.
However, the charged soul tool sold by the Aodu Chamber of Commerce gave him a sense of power and the ability to uphold justice.
When he encounters evil spirit masters bullying ordinary people, Liu Jian can stand up for them with his charged soul guide sword.
If the charged soul sword is no match, he still has two charged soul pistols.
Recently, Liu Jian fought a battle to stop a nouveau riche from out of town from forcibly taking a woman. He was left with only one trigger-type soul guide shield. He wandered around towards the branch of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce in the city, intending to buy two more trigger-type soul guide shields.
Aodu Chamber of Commerce branches are usually located in the city center, with large storefronts and large screens.
Relying on his Soul Venerable cultivation, Liu Jian quickly made his way to the city center.
He gazed at the enormous soul-guided screen set up at the Aodu Chamber of Commerce branch, admiring the latest products, muttering, "The Aodu Chamber of Commerce is really good; they think of us commoners. This cool charged soul-guided pistol only costs 16,000? What a bargain! They prevent us commoners from being bullied by ruthless soul-guided masters!"
While watching GG, Liu Jian took a fancy to a newly released charged soul guide pistol and planned to grit his teeth and take out his savings from many years of hard work to buy it.
Before Liu Jian could even get a good look at the next new item, the product description on the Soul Guidance Screen suddenly switched to the main gate of the Sun and Moon Imperial Palace.
"Huh? Where's my boyfriend? Is that His Majesty?!"
Liu Jian rubbed his eyes. It seemed as if he saw the new emperor of the Sun Moon Empire appear on the soul guide screen.
As Liu Jian exclaimed in surprise, the surrounding civilians also turned to look at the Soul Guidance Screen.
Within the Soul Guidance Screen, Xu Tianzhen, wearing a crown and the robes of the Sun and Moon Emperor, stood on the city wall of the main gate of the palace.
A small microphone was suspended in front of her.
"My people, before I speak, may the radiance of the sun and moon shine upon you and bless you."
"Next, I have an important announcement to make, which will affect the world order."
Upon hearing this, everyone near the Odu Chamber of Commerce branch stopped in their tracks.
A large number of eyes were focused on the soul guidance screen, and many people were looking at this excessively young emperor, their ears perked up.
Xu Tianzhen, dressed in the Emperor's robe, had a serious expression and exuded the aura of a domineering empress.
"Our world is surrounded by an unprecedented crisis."
"Many people may think that the crisis our empire is currently facing is nothing more than a war with the Heavenly Soul Empire, or the evil soul masters hiding in the empire and causing trouble."
Xu Tianzhen looked around. In front of the main gate of the Sun and Moon Palace, the ministers stood in neat rows.
Apart from Xu Tianzhen's confidants, no one else knew anything about the Abyss.
Jing Hongchen sent the information he had prepared in advance onto the soul guide screen.
A large number of people and ministers saw a small window gradually enlarge until it occupied the entire Soul Guidance Screen.
One after another, ferocious monsters appeared on the Soul Guidance Screen.
Its terrifying appearance and its horrific, predatory killings have terrified many people.
Among them, many knowledgeable and skilled Soul Masters did indeed sense something unusual.
"Brother Chen, these monsters... don't seem to be soul beasts?"
"Brother Lu, I think so too. These monsters didn't drop any spirit rings when they died!"
More and more Soul Masters gathered around, silently staring at the content on the Soul Master screen.
They realized something was wrong.
This doesn't seem to be a soul beast, but rather a special kind of stone and sand creature.
Just as everyone was wondering, Xu Tianzhen's voice rang out again.
"My people, what you are seeing now is a monster from the abyss."
"They are extremely aggressive and devouring, with an indelible greed for energy. They will keep their eyes on any energy source until their limbs break off and they turn to ashes and disappear."
"These terrifying monsters originate from the Abyss World, which is an alternate world at least the same size as ours!"
The truth revealed by Xu Tianzhen caused a cacophony of screams and terrified cries to erupt throughout all the advanced cities of the Sun Moon Empire.
These terrifying creatures not only come from another world, but they also prey on humans and all creatures with energy!
"The Abyss worlds are about to invade our world; we can hardly estimate how powerful they are."
"Therefore, I have decided to join the Douluo Alliance, which was jointly established by the four great empires, to gather the power of all mankind and fight against the creatures of the abyss."
"You might wonder, is the Abyss really that powerful?"
Xu Tianzhen looked down at one of the ministers, her expression a mixture of surprise, disdain, and indifference.
"Right now, a group of warriors are protecting all of humanity in the far north. Among them are Silver Moon Douluo, Shrek Academy's Azure Shadow Douluo, the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group, the Odu Merchant Guild Guard Team, and Eternal Frost Douluo, also known as the Frost Sword Saint, all fighting on the front lines."
"They are ready to ignite the flames of their soul power."
Xu Tianzhen's words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating a huge wave.
Silver Moon Douluo, the father of soul tools in the Sun Moon Empire, is someone everyone knows.
You might be unfamiliar with the Eternal Frost Douluo, but the name of the Frost Sword Saint resounds throughout the Sun Moon Empire.
That was the peerless genius who single-handedly overwhelmed all the participating teams in the All-Continent Soul Master Competition.
They could hardly believe it. Their emperor actually said that a top expert like the Pillar of State was ready to ignite his soul power and the flame of life?!
Just how powerful an enemy were they facing?!
Anxiety and panic gradually spread among the crowd.
Some people with extreme personalities, unable to bear the oppressive atmosphere, start shouting and yelling wildly, and even physically harm those around them.
Liu Jian snapped out of his daze, immediately drew his charged soul-guided pistol, and shot the crazed man down.
He felt that since His Majesty had made it public, he must have a plan!
The next moment, Xu Tianzhen spoke again.
"With astonishing power, Eternal Frost Douluo has locked the Abyss World in the far north and controlled the formation of spatial rifts. We must go to support him and do our part for this world!"
"The Douluo Alliance is hereby established!" (End of Chapter)
