Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 1088 Inviting Old Jack

After determining the future mission, Zhou Qing shrunk the Crimson Image to the size of a palm and handed it to Tang San, saying, "This divine magic image is entrusted to you. You will conduct research together with the Science Research Department, the Soul Guidance Research Department, the Biology Department, and the Tang Sect. I will also participate in my spare time to try to figure out the characteristics and working principles of the power of faith."

Unlike others, Zhou Qing understands the core of the divine realm, which is composed of 108 pillars of mental energy, a combination of mental energy, faith, and laws.

The rules are self-evident.

The power of thought and faith both originate from the mind.

Therefore, understanding the characteristics and principles of the power of faith can greatly increase the chances of the Crimson Society controlling the central authority of the divine realm in the future.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Tang San solemnly accepted the Red Phase.

Afterwards, Xiao Wu asked a question: "So, should this matter be spread?"

"nature."

Zhou Qing smiled, "The specifics of how to do it, the principles and techniques involved, cannot be disseminated; there's a barrier to entry. But we need to make sure everyone knows about it."

We cannot hide any truth from them, otherwise we would be no different from the Heavenly Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

and--

Once they find out, some of them will inevitably improve themselves in order to join us and participate in the process of achieving this goal.

In the future, we only need to build the basic infrastructure system.

At this point, Zhou Qing looked at Mohen from the Ministry of Education and said, "Teacher Mo, you must instruct your subordinates to be factual when it comes to history-related textbooks."

The accounts of Tian Dou, Xing Luo, and other kingdoms, and even everything established by our Red Society, must be presented as objectively as possible. Merits must be described, as well as mistakes. We cannot only describe our achievements while relentlessly smearing Tian Dou and Xing Luo.

Why say "as much as possible"?
History is written by people, and no matter how objective it may seem, there will always be a subjective element involved.

"understand!"

Mohen solemnly assured him.

"So--"

Zhou Qing and the others stood up together and shouted, "Meeting adjourned! Let's all get busy for September 29th, two months from now!"

After the meeting.

Zhou Qing found Old Jack.

A year ago, Old Jack had already stepped down from his position as village chief and become the head of the street where Holy Soul Village was originally located. His job was extremely leisurely, and because he was a long-time member of the Workers' and Peasants' Council, he also received a monthly allowance of fifty gold soul coins.

In addition to this, he has another little-known identity: the honorary city lord of Holy Soul City.

Now he has fully entered into retirement life.

But he wasn't idle either. He worked as a security guard at the Hope Primary School in the center of Holy Soul City, which was the original site of the Survival Village. His job was very easy, and he could wander around at will.

"Xiao Qing."

Upon seeing Zhou Qing, Old Jack happily welcomed him into the security booth, pouring him a glass of cool water with a smile. "The Red Society has been in meetings lately, they must be very busy, right? What brings you here to see me?"

"Grandpa Jack, you're as energetic as ever."

Zhou Qing picked up the cool boiled water, took a sip, and smiled as he got down to business. "Now that things are stable within the country, everyone has the idea of ​​establishing a nation. Xiao San and I couldn't refuse, so we plan to officially announce the establishment of the Crimson Flower Kingdom on September 29th."

"We hope you can attend."

"My mistress and I will come to pick you up in person."

Establishing a nation?

Old Jack was momentarily dazed, then laughed heartily and said, "This is great news! I'll definitely go with everyone to see it! It's a spectacular event, I can't miss it."

Zhou Qing smiled and added, "Grandpa Jack, what I mean is, please stand next to us then."

"What?" Old Jack's eyes widened.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he still dares to call Zhou Qing "Xiao Qing" and Tang San "Xiao San"; it's only because he watched them grow up.

If he stood in that situation, with so many people watching him—

Wouldn't he be so nervous he'd die?

Even if he didn't say a word, he would still be nervous! After all, the number of people present back then was not as small as the number from Holy Soul Village! There were at least a million, and possibly tens of millions. Holy Soul City now has a population of nearly twenty million!
"Grandpa Jack, you've watched Xiao San and I grow up, so we've specially invited you to attend as an elder—"

At this point, Zhou Qing pouted, "Even Tang Hao didn't get that kind of treatment."

"Okay! I'll go!"

Upon hearing this, old Jack immediately agreed.

Although he disliked Tang Hao, Tang Hao was the only one in the entire Holy Soul Village who dared to argue with him. Now that Tang Hao had changed his mind, Old Jack believed that the two of them could be considered to have become friends through a fight.

"By the way, can you change 'Holy Soul' to 'Douluo'? You're already a Title Douluo, right?" Old Jack asked expectantly.

Renaming the village was Old Jack's lifelong dream.

"In terms of soul power level, I am indeed a Title Douluo, but I think the term 'Saint Soul' is better," Zhou Qing said meaningfully.

The legacy of that Soul Saint played an indispensable role in making Holy Soul Village what it is today.

Provided —

The foundation for establishing a new power: three million gold soul coins;
The base of the Workers' and Peasants' Council and the Red Army Association: natural open-air caves and pools;
And also Spirit Turtle, Golden Ancient Tree, Soul Guide Crystal, Egg of Goddess of Light Butterfly, etc.

If Holy Soul City were renamed Douluo City, wouldn't that be a way of forgetting that Soul Saint? At least Zhou Qing felt that he had to be a little "sentimental" about this matter.

"Is that so? Never mind then."

Old Jack was somewhat disappointed.

"However, if Grandpa Jack agrees, this area where the original Holy Soul Village is located can be renamed 'Douluo'."

Zhou Qing came up with a compromise solution.

as predicted.

Old Jack became happy again.

Holy Soul City is so big now that he can't walk it all, and he's too lazy to walk it. What he cares about most is the area where Holy Soul Village was originally located. It would be best to rename it "Douluo"!

"Okay! Okay! Okay! That's settled!"

With Old Jack's approval, Zhou Qing chatted with him for an afternoon before deciding to return home.

But then old Jack suddenly asked, "By the way, when are you going to marry Romantina?"

Zhou Qing, who had just stood up, froze and said speechlessly, "Grandpa Jack, I'm still young, and I don't want to step into the grave of marriage so early."

How can marriage be a tomb?

Old Jack's expression turned serious, then he seemed to realize something, slapped his forehead, and said, "I know! There's a new word that's become popular lately, something like 'tsundere,' which means the same thing as saying one thing and meaning another."

"Don't overthink it, Grandpa Jack... I'm off now, I'll come pick you up with Xiao San later." With that, Zhou Qing hurriedly left.

He had no intention of using any tricks like flying through the air or shrinking the distance in front of Old Jack.

However, from Old Jack's perspective, Zhou Qing's departing figure seemed rather disheveled.

Hey! It's Xiao Qing!

Old Jack chuckled, "Looks like I won't be able to fulfill Romanack's request. I was hoping to help Xiaoqing take care of her grandson..."

Muttering to himself, Old Jack stroked his gray beard thoughtfully, "How about we try to matchmake Tang San and Xiao Wu? Xiao Lan and Wang Sheng seem to be getting quite close too..."
