Chapter 548 Arriving as promised
The main hall of the Imperial Palace of the Sun and Moon Empire.
Xu Zihuang, wearing a purple gold crown and a luxurious gold, sun, silver and moon pattern robe, sat on the throne, looking at the civil and military officials in the hall with an indifferent expression.
The final battle was scheduled for three days later, and this was also the last court meeting before the war approached.
The important matters have been discussed some time ago, and only some details are left, which will be worked out by officials from various departments.
The senior management of the Sun and Moon Empire had undergone a major purge, and coupled with Xu Zihuang's own terrifying strength, naturally no one would stand up and question his decision. All the officials had only burning eyes.
Four thousand years ago, the Sun and Moon Empire launched a holy war against the Douluo Continent, and was ultimately defeated by the elites of the three original empires from the Douluo Continent led by Shrek Academy. But now times have changed, and this time, their Sun and Moon Empire will definitely avenge their past humiliation and achieve final victory.
Even Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming are no exception. They are all eager to witness the moment when the Sun and Moon Empire unifies the entire Douluo Continent.
The two stood in front of the officials. The Sun and Moon Empire respects the right, and with Kong Deming's status and strength, he naturally ranks first on the right. Jing Hongchen is standing in the first place on the left, side by side with Kong Deming.
Kong Deming's status among the soul masters of the Sun and Moon Empire is almost equivalent to the significance of Mr. Mu in Shrek Academy. Jing Hongchen, the master of Mingde Hall, also treated Kong Deming as a disciple.
Although he only ranks first on the left, it is a great honor to be able to stand alongside Kong Deming.
The short and fat Jing Hongchen had a big belly, a rosy complexion, and was indescribably proud. Brother and sister Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were also among the officials behind Jing Hongchen.
Sensing Xu Zihuang's gaze, Xiao Hongchen stood up straight involuntarily. It was a completely instinctive reaction. Meng Hongchen, however, forgot what Jing Hongchen told her. She raised her head and met Xu Zihuang's eyes with a look of admiration, her face stained like a cherry blossom.
Xu Zihuang calmly ordered: "Mr. Kong and Hongchen Hall Master stay, and everyone else should leave."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" All the courtiers knelt down and saluted Xu Zihuang respectfully, then bowed their heads and exited the hall. Brother and sister Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen are no exception. In the end, only Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen were left standing in place.
Xu Zihuang slowly stood up and said to Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen: "What you see next and what I say will be sealed as top secrets of the royal family."
After hearing Xu Zihuang's words, both of them looked solemn.
Xu Zihuang didn't say anything more, just raised his right hand slightly. Nine soul rings belonging to the Golden Eyes martial soul rose from his feet, six red and three gold. Although the color of his soul rings has not changed, due to the transformation of the soul power in his body, each soul ring is surrounded by a mysterious golden light.
Of course, every soul skill driven by divine power is far more powerful than before.
At the same time, the blood-red second soul ring suddenly shined.
Dark red light spots appeared on the bodies of Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen. These light spots appeared on their foreheads, shoulders, chests, elbows, wrists, palms, waist and abdomen, hips, knees and soles of the feet.
Starting from these dark red light spots, streaks of red thread-like light instantly pulled out, converging into magnificent dark red patterns.
These dark red patterns are not much more complicated than the high-level soul guidance core array, but the concepts contained in them are countless times more advanced, and they do not look like products of this era at all.
Top soul mentors like Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen are better able to understand the secrets. Their pupils suddenly shrank, their gazes fixed on it, and they allowed a streamlined armor to condense and take shape.
Dark red armor, dark red lines. As the halo circulated, the auras on Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen suddenly exploded at an alarming speed.
Kong Deming himself was a level 95 Super Douluo, so his aura was not improved that obviously, but Jing Hongchen's aura clearly felt like he was catching up to a Super Douluo.
"Your Majesty, is this?!" Jing Hongchen came back to his senses and looked at Xu Zihuang in surprise.
Xu Zihuang said calmly: "This is a product from the future. People in later generations will call it Doukai. In the future, I will sort out the production methods of Doukai as the heritage of the royal family. This is a product of cross-era significance. It cannot be disclosed and popularized prematurely in this era. However, the concepts contained therein can be used as a reference to bring the development of soul guides into an unprecedented high-speed period, which will also be conducive to our Sun-Moon Empire's future rule of the original Douluo Continent. .”
Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen have been unable to calm down the turbulent emotions in their hearts. The shock brought to them by Xu Zihuang was really too strong.
Xu Zihuang took out a drawing from Huanglong Space and handed it to Kong Deming.
"This is a drawing of a soul guidance device that I roughly designed with reference to Ye Xishui's Death Tower. I hope that after the final battle with the original Douluo Continent, Mr. Kong can perfect it. This soul guidance device Let’s call the vessel the Tower of Eternity.”
The sleeping Electrolux should be able to revive in the next few years. This Tower of Eternity is also the shelter prepared by Xu Zihuang for Yi Lao's remaining soul.
As the saying goes, there are specialties in the arts. In the future, he will not be able to devote himself to the design and production of soul guides. He will simply provide a framework and foundation for Kong Deming to gradually improve.
After briefly checking the contents of the drawings, Kong Deming's eyes also lit up. If he really succeeds in building this Tower of Eternity in the future, he might be able to step into the unprecedented eleventh-level soul master realm in one fell swoop.
This is both a challenge and an opportunity for him.
After everything was dealt with, Xu Zihuang returned to the back garden of the palace, staying with Ye Guyi, Wang Qiuer, Ning Tian and others, enjoying the last leisure time before the war.
The back garden of the Imperial Palace of the Sun and Moon Empire covers a very large area, and a variety of rare plants are scattered throughout the garden. Every design is unique, and there are tall trees located among them. Walking in, it feels like you are in an isolated foreign forest.
Ye Guyi and Wang Qiuer were sitting at the stone table in the center of the garden, seemingly talking about something. Orange is guarding the sleeping Xu Xiyan, bathing in the soft sunshine, gently rocking the cradle. Ever since Xu Xiyan merged with Xu Zihuang's divine imprint, he began to become very lethargic.
After all, it would take a long time to completely integrate that part of his divine imprint.
A sweet laughter as clear as a silver bell rang out, it was Xu Ningqing who was having fun in the back garden. Ning Tian also followed closely behind.
It is like a harmonious and peaceful picture.
A gentle smile appeared on Xu Zihuang's face, and he stepped forward.
Noticing that a shadow was shrouded in front of him, Xu Ningqing raised his head blankly. The moment she saw Xu Zihuang's face clearly, the confusion in her beautiful big light purple eyes was instantly replaced by joy.
"Dad!" Xu Ningqing called softly with a thick nasal voice, opened her hands, and threw herself into Xu Zihuang's arms.
Xu Zihuang picked up Ning Qing affectionately, came to Ning Tian's side with a smile, and then nodded to Ye Guyi and others.
…
After a brief period of tranquility, the final battle to determine the fate of Douluo Continent finally came as promised.
