Chapter 333: Getting Ready

"I hope you do not remain obsessed and lost..."

The voice faded into the distance, and Shi Quan's figure had disappeared before anyone knew when.

After the crowd present remained dazed for a long time, they finally returned to their senses one by one and realized what had happened.

Only then did they discover that their clothes had long since been soaked through with sweat.

"What should we do?"

While more people were still in a state of panic and at a loss, a few others already had a hint of fanaticism in their expressions.

"We should follow the will of the God and offer the most sublime respect to the God!"

Reincarnation Mansion.

Shi Quan's figure stepped out from the void.

"Who!" Long Wenhe was discussing Reincarnation Mansion matters with the others; Shi Quan's sudden appearance immediately gave everyone a start.

"Venerable One!" After seeing clearly who it was, Long Wenhe's expression immediately turned joyful, and he hurriedly stood up to bow respectfully to Shi Quan.

Seeing this, the people in the hall guessed Shi Quan's identity and bowed to him one by one.

Shi Quan's calm gaze swept over the crowd, and he said indifferently: "To those belonging to the Lord Mansion, those who have not surrendered after seven days shall be wiped out by the army!"

"This subordinate accepts the order." Long Wenhe's eyes suddenly lit up, and he responded excitedly.

"After the continent is unified, establish an Empire, named Samsara, with the Reincarnation Mansion as the state religion, worshiping the God of Reincarnation. In the name of the God, assist the Empire in managing the continent's Spirit Masters and commoners, establish branch halls of the Reincarnation Mansion and Spirit Academies, and guard the continent. First, to popularize Spirit Master education and martial soul awakening for the common people. Second, to facilitate the supervision of Spirit Masters and put an end to those who bully others by relying on their power, and those who violate rules and discipline."

"Within the borders of the Empire, regardless of whose descendants they are, they can only have their martial souls awakened by the Reincarnation Mansion, be registered, and accept supervision."

"The Reincarnation Mansion is supervised by the Mansion Master. All Spirit Douluo of the continent shall be Elders of the Reincarnation Mansion, and Title Douluo shall be Honored Guests of the Reincarnation Mansion. Elders and Honored Guests are qualified to participate in the election for Mansion Master, held every five years, for a maximum of three consecutive terms. They are not the supreme ruler, but a chosen virtuous leader. As Mansion Master, one must accept the supervision of the Empire's myriad people and the God of Reincarnation. At the same time, one will also be favored by the God of Reincarnation and receive rewards."

"This is to commend meritorious service, and also to compensate for the time the Mansion Master loses in cultivation due to worrying about state affairs."

"The Reincarnation Mansion must not interfere in the internal affairs of the Empire and has no power to dismiss the Emperor. However, it has the duty to supervise the Emperor. If an Emperor is found to be unworthy of their position, the Mansion Master shall summon the Honored Guests and Elders to investigate and discuss in detail. If it is indeed true, they shall be escorted before the God of Reincarnation to accept divine judgment."

"Beneath the God, no one can hide."

"The God is a sharp sword hanging over your heads, warning future monarchs that they must lead by example, treat the people well, and not act in a perverse and rebellious manner."

"This subordinate obeys the order!"

Long Wenhe was the first to react to Shi Quan's series of instructions and responded loudly.

"If there is anything important, you may come to find me."

As the words fell, Shi Quan's figure submerged into the void again and disappeared from where he stood.

"Mansion Master, what did the Venerable One mean by those words just now?" The crowd looked at each other, and after reacting for a long while, someone finally asked Long Wenhe.

Long Wenhe could not hide the excitement in his heart and said excitedly: "The Venerable One must have already been to the Lord Mansion. Those belonging to the Lord Mansion will surrender within seven days; even if they don't surrender, I fear they are already powerless to resist our Reincarnation Mansion."

"We are about to complete the grand feat of unifying the continent!"

Some of them were still a bit skeptical and said: "Is the Venerable One that powerful?"

Long Wenhe snorted coldly, "How could the Venerable One's power be something you can fathom? Since the Venerable One has said so, it must be true. You all must keep in mind what the Venerable One said just now."

"If what the Venerable One said is true, we must re-select the location to establish the Samsara Empire and the Reincarnation Mansion, and we also need to make decisions regarding the personnel between the Empire and the Reincarnation Mansion!"

"I will invite the Venerable One to personally appoint the first Emperor of the Samsara Empire and the first Mansion Master of the Reincarnation Mansion!" Long Wenhe's gaze swept over everyone, "The God of Reincarnation is above, like a sharp sword hanging over our heads; do not forget this, everyone!"

"We will naturally keep it in mind!" The people at the scene all showed a bit of piety in their expressions.

In the mansion specially prepared for Shi Quan by Long Wenhe.

Shi Quan sat cross-legged, his figure splitting from one into three.

One figure sat in quiet meditation, while another was frantically absorbing the energy from the surroundings.

Only then did Shi Quan's attention fall upon the World Seed rewarded by the system.

In the system's Storage Space, the World Seed looked like a transparent crystal ball the size of a fist, filled with all kinds of colorful, strange lights. As the lights constantly flowed, the surrounding space seemed to become a bit heavier.

"This World Seed can actually merge with me."

This World Seed needs to be based on one's own body and nurtured with one's own power to evolve a world; it cannot directly evolve into a complete world.

The energy required to evolve a world is massive. With Shi Quan's current strength, even if the World Seed enters his body, he cannot evolve a very large world.

"This World Seed is equivalent to opening up a new path of cultivation for me: using oneself as the world; the stronger the world, the stronger one's own power."

Shi Quan looked at the World Seed in his hand and fell into deep thought. If the World Seed were planted into his body, it might consume a vast amount of time.

Now is not a suitable time for seclusion.

After weighing the pros and cons, Shi Quan prepared to wait until the soul bone fusion, the absorption of the Earth Dragon Soul Spirit, the completion of the Earth Martial Soul's soul ring, and the condensation of the Earth Soul Core before considering merging with the World Seed.

Moreover, the process of merging with the World Seed would likely consume a large amount of soul power; accumulating more now could also serve as a precaution.

Over the next few days, the entire Reincarnation Mansion became busy.

Before seven days had even passed, the Lord Mansion took the initiative to surrender, because the only Title Douluo of the Lord Mansion had voluntarily surrendered to the Reincarnation Mansion, and the entire Lord Mansion collapsed instantly.

Those belonging to the Reincarnation Mansion moved into the entire Lord Mansion territory with almost no resistance.

Moving in was easy, but integration required time.

Fortunately, with the cooperation of the various lords, everything progressed very smoothly.

Reincarnation Mansion, Shi Quan's private residence.

Strands of dark golden energy constantly raged outward, and the violent aura caused the space within a radius of a thousand meters to stagnate.

The raging energy did not originate from Shi Quan, but from a strange dark golden arm bone in his hand. The arm bone was about half a meter long, and its entire body exuded a sense of explosive power.

It was covered with intricate patterns, possessing a unique regularity and beauty. The color of the patterns was deep and restrained, like an ancient and mysterious totem, and also like the veins of the Earth, winding, tortuous, and thick, as if carrying the majestic power of the Earth.

This soul bone was the brand-new soul bone formed after the fusion of the Titan Giant Ape soul bone and the Earth Dragon soul bone. Its powerful energy aura would make even a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast fearful.

With a wave of his hand, the Earth Dragon Soul Spirit and a strange crystal appeared in front of Shi Quan.

Everything for the condensation of the Earth Soul Core was completely ready!
