Chapter 94

Qian Renxue convened her first major meeting after succeeding as Pope.

Those eligible to attend this meeting were all true high-ranking officials of the Spirit Hall, with positions at least Platinum Bishop.

Qian Renxue, seated as Pope, said: "Today I have summoned the elders and bishops to announce something."

"I have become the new Angel God; I have this responsibility and duty to let my followers bask in the light."

"And in the Tian Dou and Star Luo Empires, many followers who believe in the Angel God are still suffering in dire straits."

"I will go rescue these followers."

"Our Spirit Hall has developed to the point where we already possess the strength to unify the Douluo Continent; only by unifying the Douluo Continent will my followers not be harmed under the light of my radiance."

"It is time for us to appear with a new face; we are no longer a religion but a nation-state, no longer the Spirit Hall but the Wu Hun Empire."

The elders and Platinum Bishops listening to Qian Renxue's speech are all shrewd; they don't care whether the Spirit Hall becomes the Wu Hun Empire, they only care whether their own interests are harmed.

Obviously, the Spirit Hall becoming the Wu Hun Empire will not only not harm their interests, but will also cause their interests to surge to an unprecedented peak.

Instantly, everyone replied in unison: "We solemnly obey the divine edict of His Holiness the Pope."

"Not bad."

Qian Renxue smiled and nodded, very satisfied with the elders' and Platinum Bishops' answer.

She continued: "Next, I will announce two more things."

"The first matter: since we are founding a nation, we need to confirm our territory."

"Currently, our Wu Hun Empire is newly founded, with few citizens; the territory should not be too large, and we can gradually expand it as the population grows."

"The territory of our Wu Hun Empire will be expanded outward from Wu Hun City on both sides, incorporating the surrounding several major kingdoms."

"The second matter concerns the dispatched martial soul officials; since the Wu Hun Empire has been established, there is no need to serve the Tian Dou and Star Luo Empires anymore."

"Issue the order: let all dispatched officials and hall masters of the Spirit Hall bring their families back to Wu Hun City."

"We cannot give the two empires a chance to strike first."

"Moreover, those who do not return to Wu Hun City will be deemed heretics."

"Also, this matter must be carried out before the establishment of the Wu Hun Empire."

"The establishment of the Wu Hun Empire is set for one month from now; if any dispatched personnel of the Spirit Hall do not return to Wu Hun City, let them not return."

"Prepare these two matters uniformly this afternoon."

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope," the elders and Platinum Bishops replied and withdrew.

……

The personnel of the Spirit Hall in Wu Hun City were divided into two groups.

One group hurriedly transmitted information outward, ordering all dispatched personnel to return to Wu Hun City within a one-month deadline; failure to return after a month would be deemed heresy.

The Spirit Hall's soul-tool technology has developed to a degree unimaginable to the two empires, already producing communication devices similar to mobile phones.

It is foreseeable that these soul tools will eventually be used on the battlefield, delivering a profound shock to the two empires.

As Qian Renxue said, they had already been given a chance earlier; it is their own fault for not cherishing it, so do not blame her for launching a massive slaughter.

……

Qian Qianji and the others had not yet returned to their respective sects when the dispatched Spirit Hall officials and hall masters had already received the order to withdraw to Wu Hun City.

They have witnessed the Spirit Hall's development over these years; only a fool would refuse to return.

Most importantly, they can bring their families and relatives along, completely eliminating their worries about rear affairs.

It is foreseeable that this large-scale recall of officials and hall masters by the Spirit Hall must involve a major move.

Thinking of the major move, these dispatched Spirit Hall personnel could not help but feel excited.

Battle achievements are always the fastest way to advance in rank.

……

At the same time.

On the essential route of the Tian Dou and Star Luo Empires, Ning Fengzhi also confirmed the choice for the alliance leader, which is Chen Xin of the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect.

Being inferior in skill, they also accepted it.

Next came the selection of the alliance's location and name. After discussion by Tang Wei, Yu Yuan Zhen, Ning Fengzhi, Xue Ye, and the Star Luo Emperor, they unanimously decided to establish the alliance in the central area relatively closer to the Tian Dou and Star Luo Empires.

This would help prevent the Spirit Hall from picking off their high-end combat forces one by one.

After all, with so many Title Douluo, Soul Douluo, Soul Saints, and Soul Emperors gathered here, even the Spirit Hall would have to weigh whether it could swallow them all.

As for the alliance's name and founding time.

After careful consideration, they unanimously decided to name the alliance the Justice Alliance.

This signifies that they are the righteous ones, while the Spirit Hall is dark.

The alliance's founding time is set for one month later, after all, building the alliance also requires time.

……

While the Spirit Hall, Tian Dou Empire, Star Luo Empire, and the Upper Three Sects were racing against time, busy, Qian Qianji entered closed-door cultivation once again.

His comprehension of the fire law had reached forty-two percent; with another fifty-eight percent, he would be able to successfully master the fire law and become a God King.

At that time, he will be able to use the Central Divine Court to elevate the entire Douluo Star into a divine star.

By then, the Douluo Star will not only expand as a result, but will also continuously produce divine-grade materials needed for god-slaying soul tools.

Of course, before entering closed-door cultivation, Qian Qianji inevitably went to the Underground Palace to visit the six women: Poseide, A Yin, Tang Yuehua, etc.

The six of them became pregnant again.

As for the seven women—Ling Feng, Xue Ying, Xiao Rou, Gu Yue Na, Bi Ji, Xue Di, and Bing Di—who listen to his words and are completely obedient, Qian Qianji also needs to consider their well-being.

After all, each pregnancy is a major depletion of vital energy for them.

Qian Qianji needs to give them more time to recover.

Bibi Dong is still in the Slaughter City.

Papal Hall, training chamber.

"Hope that in the coming year you can bring me good luck, little ones not yet born."

Qian Qianji muttered to himself as he entered the training state, beginning to continue comprehending the law of fire.

One month passed in the blink of an eye.

The Spirit Hall's external personnel had all returned to Martial Soul City.

At this moment Martial Soul City could be said to be overcrowded, and the Spirit Hall personnel preparing to demarcate the territory had already been fully equipped and ready to depart.

With a wave of Qian Renxue's hand, she mounted the Radiant Warhorse she had subdued and headed toward the first kingdom.

This Radiant Warhorse is no weakling, possessing over fifty thousand years of cultivation.

The soldiers of the several kingdoms were no match for the Spirit Hall's elite troops; in just one round they were routed by the Spirit Hall's elite forces.

The kingdom's king decisively surrendered, expressing his willingness to submit to the Wu Hun Empire and follow its lead.

After the territory was demarcated, the next step was to build the walls.

The Wu Hun Empire was being built step by step according to Qian Renxue's vision.

Once completed, the Wu Hun Empire will completely separate the Tian Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

One month later, the Justice Alliance was fully completed; Ning Fengzhi and the others immediately sent personnel to station there and promoted the Justice Alliance across the entire Douluo Continent.

Of course, during this period it was inevitable to smear the Spirit Hall.

Not long after, the Spirit Hall transformed into the Wu Hun Empire.

At this time, even ordinary people without soul power could sense the imminence of a storm.
