Chapter 319: Reincarnation Mansion, Lord Mansion

"Exalted One, the annexation of Panlong Territory has been completed." Long Wenhe respectfully handed over the book recording the situation of the Panlong Territory annexation.

"Not bad." Shi Quan nodded with satisfaction after reading the contents of the book.

"Exalted One, during the battle for Panlong, the surrounding lords all felt threatened. Now, many lords of various territories have united, preparing to put pressure on our Reincarnation Mansion."

"What are your thoughts?" Shi Quan looked at Long Wenhe indifferently.

Long Wenhe bowed and said: "The Exalted One wishes to unify the continent, and these people must be dealt with eventually. With the Exalted One's strength, even if these lords unite, they are nothing more than a rabble of chickens and dogs, and certainly not your match, Exalted One. It is just that solving them one by one is too troublesome. Besides military conquest, this subordinate feels that we can dispatch some envoys to lobby the lords of other territories, grant them some benefits, and let them voluntarily join our Reincarnation Mansion, giving them some power. If we combine kindness with force in this way, the speed of unification will certainly be much faster."

"Are you not afraid that their joining will divide your power?"

Long Wenhe said very sincerely: "If the Reincarnation Mansion wants to unify the continent, one person under the Exalted One simply cannot do it. This subordinate is still very clear about his own abilities."

"Unifying the continent is just something I am doing along the way; power means nothing to me. What I want is the spread of Faith," Shi Quan's faint gaze fell on Long Wenhe, "The future managers of the Reincarnation Mansion need to hold lofty respect and Faith for the God of Reincarnation."

A touch of fanaticism appeared in Long Wenhe's eyes, and he lowered his head and said: "I will definitely offer the most lofty respect and Faith to the God of Reincarnation."

"You can push the process of unification according to your ideas. With Jun Tian helping you, there shouldn't be much of a problem. I can take action when necessary." Shi Quan nodded with satisfaction.

"This subordinate will certainly not let the Exalted One down."

"Also, arrange for people to collect some metal for me. The more precious, the better. There is no limit to the types; any style is fine."

"Understood. Does the Exalted One have any other arrangements?"

"No, you may go."

"This Long Wenhe is quite sharp-witted; he came to pledge his loyalty to you so quickly," Gu Yuena, who was to the side, said with a light smile.

"Action is the best proof." Shi Quan shook his head slightly, then continued: "I can only first find some precious metals to try and forge an initial version of the God-Slaying Cannon. Whether it will work or not depends on actual experimentation."

The God-Slaying Cannon in Shi Quan's mouth was an idea proposed by Gu Yuena, combining the pistol Soul Guidance Device that Shi Quan had previously researched.

A pistol is a device that continuously compresses the injected energy to erupt with extreme power.

If one could build a device capable of compressing the energy of thousands upon thousands of Spirit Masters, the power it would erupt with would likely make even gods avoid its edge.

If thousands upon thousands are not enough, then tens of thousands or even more.

It is currently just a concept, but if it works, it will be a trump card for confronting gods.

However, to realize this concept, the energy and materials required are undoubtedly massive.

Just after recovering Panlong Territory, Di Tian also brought good news to Shi Quan.

Deep within the earth of the Dragon Blood Forest hides a Earth Vein Dragon, whose age has already exceeded 250,000 years.

Shi Quan's Earth Martial Soul happens to be missing two Soul Rings. After this Earth Vein Dragon is transformed into a Soul Spirit, it will help Shi Quan make up the final two Soul Rings.

According to Di Tian's description, this Earth Vein Dragon carries the bloodline power of the Mountain Dragon King, and it is very dense. It seems that by chance, it absorbed most of the bloodline that a certain Mountain Dragon King scattered across the Longteng Continent.

However, Shi Quan was not in a hurry to transform this Earth Vein Dragon into a Soul Spirit to absorb. He was waiting for his own breakthrough to Level Ninety, for the sake of his third Soul Core, the Earth Soul Core.

He had delayed using the Soul Bone Breakthrough Crystal he was rewarded with when he broke through to Level 80, which was also in preparation for this.

His original plan was: break through to Level 90, absorb the Three-Eyed Golden Lion Soul Ring, and after his dual martial souls broke through to Level 90, he would then make a final push to use the Soul Bone Breakthrough Crystal to help the Mountain Dragon King torso break the limit of the soul bone. Borrowing the power of the soul bone's transformation, he would simultaneously absorb the Titan Giant Ape Arm Bone, and by gathering the power of both, condense the Earth Soul Core.

Even so, he was not confident that he could succeed in one go, but now, if he added the soul bone and Soul Ring of the Earth Vein Dragon that possessed the Mountain Dragon King's bloodline power, his confidence in condensing the third Earth Soul Core suddenly became sufficient.

To accelerate the speed of unification, Shi Quan also had Di Tian find a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast with a relatively high level of intelligence from the Dragon Blood Forest to come out and assist Long Wenhe.

Two great Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, each comparable to a Level 95 Title Douluo, and across the entire Longteng Continent, there were only three powerhouses at the Title Douluo level in total—or to be precise, there were only two left now, because Shi Quan had already wiped out one Title Douluo.

Once the two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts appeared, ordinary territories simply laid down their arms and surrendered.

The situation on the Longteng Continent underwent earth-shaking changes in just five months.

Nearly half of the territories had already been incorporated into the domain of the Reincarnation Mansion.

The prestige of the Reincarnation Mansion also resounded throughout the entire Longteng Continent.

In these five months, there were not many real battles, and large-scale engagements were even fewer.

There was no help for it; the prestige brought by the two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts of the Reincarnation Mansion was too illustrious. Their combat power in terms of strong Spirit Masters directly crushed any single territory, and many weak territories directly surrendered and joined the Reincarnation Mansion.

Developing in this way, the Reincarnation Mansion unifying the continent was only a matter of time.

But the problem was, how could those lords surrender and give up so easily?

The remaining half of the lords, in order to resist the Reincarnation Mansion and upholding the philosophy of maintaining the lords' interests and uniting against outsiders, all gathered together to establish the Lord Mansion. The two strongest Title Douluo served as the Mansion Masters of the Lord Mansion, uniformly coordinating the numerous lords and uniting the various lord factions to jointly resist the Reincarnation Mansion.

Thus, a scene of two mansions confronting each other was formed.

After rapid expansion, it is inevitable that time is needed to integrate the interior of the Reincarnation Mansion; further eliminating dissent and training troops are necessary.

Reincarnation Mansion, Mansion Capital, which was the former Wenhe Territory.

Feeling the Internal Energy surging non-stop within his body, the movements in Shi Quan's hands paused slightly before returning to normal.

"Broken through?" Gu Yuena noticed the anomaly on Shi Quan's side and asked.

"Yes, Level 89." Shi Quan nodded.

"As expected of the Child of Heaven's Luck, you don't even need to cultivate, and this strength just keeps growing," Di Tian said.

Shi Quan calculated the time, "If this speed remains unchanged, I will be able to break through to become a god in about forty months."

Gu Yuena shook her head: "To break through to Title Douluo, you need to accumulate a large amount of energy. By then, the time for the breakthrough should be longer, at least around fifty months."
