Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 579 He dares to plot for a godhood now, I don't even want to think about what he'll do in the future!

Upon hearing this, Kong Deming's face showed understanding.

In fact, he knew about Huo Yuhao's deployment of undercover agents within the Holy Spirit Cult.

He learned from Jing Hongchen that Huo Yuhao had once invited Jing Hongchen to help capture an elder of the Holy Spirit Cult and set up a so-called soul core seal for him in order to make the elder of the Holy Spirit Cult submit.

If the other party really obtained internal information through the elders of the Holy Spirit Cult, it would make sense, since the elders of the Holy Spirit Cult are considered high-ranking members and are qualified to obtain some relatively confidential information.

Kong Deming frowned. "Why does the Holy Spirit Cult insist on becoming the guardian deity of the nation? As an evil soul master force, the Holy Spirit Cult is inherently unpopular and its reputation is inherently in an extremely low state."

Even if it becomes the so-called Guardian Cult of the Nation, the reputation of the Holy Spirit Cult will not improve in the slightest. Could it be that His Majesty promised the Holy Spirit Cult some special benefits, which is why the high-ranking members of the Holy Spirit Cult are so eager for this?"

“Strictly speaking, that is indeed the case.” Huo Yuhao said with some helplessness, “As far as I know, Xu Tianran promised Zhongli Wu that as long as the Holy Spirit Cult is willing to support the Sun Moon Empire in completing the great cause of unifying the Douluo Continent, once the Sun Moon Empire becomes the only empire on this continent, he will appoint Zhongli Wu as the guardian god and help him open his divine position.”

Perhaps it was the allure of becoming a god that made Zhongliwu so eager for the Holy Spirit Cult to become a national guardian deity cult as soon as possible.

In fact, in the original novel, after the Mingdu explosion, it was mentioned that Xu Tianran made empty promises to Zhongli Wu about the national god and the national god cult.

Of course, the story of the National Protector Cult is a classic example of inconsistency between its earlier and later developments.

After initially setting up the unification of Douluo Continent, Xu Tianran then honored the Holy Spirit Cult as the guardian deity of the nation.

However, before the Sun Moon Empire could even unify the Douluo Continent after launching its war that swept across the continent, the Holy Spirit Cult became the guardian cult of the nation.

Of course, this inconsistency in the initial and later settings can still be used as an excuse.

After all, given the close ties between the Holy Spirit Cult and Xu Tianran, and considering the favorable situation for the Sun Moon Empire at the time, as long as the time for a falling out hadn't come yet, Xu Tianran could have easily made the Holy Spirit Cult the guardian deity of the nation ahead of schedule in order to win them over.

He believes that even though his arrival has created many butterfly effects, the foundation of cooperation between Xu Tianran and Zhong Liwu remains unchanged, since the two need to exchange benefits.

Of course, Zhongli Wu's idea was indeed good. If the Sun Moon Empire unified the Douluo Continent, the number of people and soul masters in the empire would undoubtedly rise to an extremely high level.

The amount of faith power that can be collected at that time will undoubtedly be extremely considerable.

Even if the other party is a notorious evil spirit master, you can still collect faith power. After all, if you can't take the normal path, you can take the same path as the Rakshasa God or the Asura God.

The Rakshasa God can absorb dark thoughts from all living or dead beings, while the Asura God can acquire thoughts of killing.

Evil Soul Masters are best at killing. Through killing, they can not only gain the desire to kill, but also make the survivors have some dark thoughts. It's like killing two birds with one stone.

"Zhongli Wu's ambition is so great? He dares to plot for a godhood now, I don't even want to think about what he'll do in the future!" Jing Hongchen looked shocked, then looked at Kong Deming: "Elder Kong, you must not agree to let the Holy Spirit Sect become the guardian religion of the country. If a wicked soul master like Zhongli Wu becomes a god, it will be a catastrophe for everyone, and the entire continent will be devastated!"

He had never seen a deity, nor had he ever fought one.

However, based on the books published by Shrek Academy about the original Shrek Seven Devils, he was certain that the power of a god far surpassed that of a Limit Douluo. Xuan Ziwen advised, "Teacher, this time I agree with the Hall Master's opinion. If the evil soul master Zhongli Wu becomes a god, everyone's life will be difficult. In any case, we absolutely cannot allow a bloodthirsty and evil person to become a god!"

Kong Deming's gaze swept over the two faces, and he nodded with an unpleasant expression: "I know what you mean. In fact, I don't want to see Zhongli Wu become a god either."

As he spoke, he turned to Huo Yuhao: "Yuhao, I am still a little curious as to why Zhongliwu and Xu Tianran are so certain that the Holy Spirit Sect will become the Guardian God Sect, and that after Zhongliwu is revered as the Guardian God, he can activate his divine position."

He no longer wishes to address Xu Tianran as "Your Majesty" in private, as the latter has disappointed him greatly.

What Xu Tianran is doing now is undoubtedly for short-term gains, but doing so will sow the seeds of disaster for the future of the Sun Moon Empire.

Even if the Sun Moon Empire could truly unify the Douluo Continent, so what?
If Zhongli Wu were to gain godhood through this opportunity, the interests of the Sun Moon Empire would undoubtedly suffer enormous damage, something he, a native of the Sun Moon Empire, absolutely could not accept.

"According to the intelligence I obtained, Xu Tianran is actually planning to appoint Zhongliwu as the guardian deity of the nation, so that Zhongliwu will be revered by all people and thus attain divine status," Huo Yuhao truthfully stated the information he possessed.

"Revered by all? Yuhao, are you joking?" Kong Deming said incredulously.

Given Zhongli Wu's status as an evil soul master, even if the Sun Moon Empire were to unify the Douluo Continent in the future, and Xu Tianran were to honor him as a guardian deity, there would be no possibility of him being revered by the people in the slightest.

After all, the evil of evil spirit masters has long been deeply ingrained in people's minds.

Any normal Soul Master or ordinary person would not have the slightest goodwill towards an evil Soul Master, let alone feel any respect for him.

"That's indeed the case," Huo Yuhao said with a hint of helplessness.

He thought to himself that this matter was also recorded in the original work, and perhaps the reverence that Zhongli Wu, a kind of evil soul master, understood was different from the reverence that ordinary people understood.

Kong Deming frowned: "Fine, no matter what, we can't let the Holy Spirit Sect become the Guardian Sect of the Nation, otherwise who knows what trouble it will cause."

Suddenly, Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered slightly. Within his mental detection range, two Soul Masters exuding the aura of Limit Douluo appeared. One of the Soul Masters was Long Xiaoyao, whom he had met during the competition.

As for the other female Soul Master, although he had never seen her before, based on the Limit Douluo aura emanating from her, he could confirm that she was Ye Xishui, who had manipulated Mu En and Long Xiaoyao!
His gaze fell on Kong Deming: "Elder Kong, Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao have already appeared at the academy gate. They are probably here for the matter of the Guardian God Sect. After all, without your approval, the Guardian God Sect cannot be implemented."

Although he usually likes to use his mental detection, thanks to his abundant mental energy, he doesn't encounter any problems.

However, he doesn't usually have nothing to do and uses his mental detection soul skill to its fullest extent, so the current coverage of his mental detection soul skill is only the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Kong Deming's face darkened: "I'm going out to meet them. For safety's sake, Yuhao and the others shouldn't come along."

After saying that, he left the third laboratory.
