Douluo: Being kidnapped into the Holy Spirit Church at the beginning

"How can one not be nostalgic for this beautiful land?"

After a moment, watching Prime Minister Sima and several important officials of the court slowly leaving after expressing their loyalty, a trace of greed flashed in Xu Tianran's eyes. His hand involuntarily touched the dragon robe on his body. He looked at the majestic dragon on the dragon robe with an infatuated look on his face.

After more than twenty years of living on thin ice, he finally saw the dawn of hope.

For a full half hour, Xu Tianran said nothing but stroked the dragon robe, and the look in his eyes gradually changed from greed to three parts of disdain, six parts of arrogance, and one part of desolation.

Among all the brothers, he was the only one who managed to make it out in the end...

Gradually, Xu Tianran's complexion returned to normal. He straightened his dragon robe and glanced sideways at Xue Chen beside him.

"Master Xue, how is the situation at the strategic resource reserve?"

"Your Majesty, the news has been completely blocked, but all the strategic resources inside are really just as those imprisoned garrisons said, there is nothing left."

Xue Chen felt the drastic change in Xu Tianran's aura, his eyes gleamed, and he replied respectfully, but when he said the last word, his face couldn't help but sigh.

He had gone to see it with his own eyes. The once perfect strategic resource reserve had now become a bare house. Even a thief would have to shed tears when trying to get in. There was not a single hair left.

"Waste! Xu Guozhong is such a waste!"

"How is it possible that such a large strategic resource reserve, nearly a hundred tons of rare metals, and thirty thousand heavy soul guides all disappeared in just half an hour?"

“Even if there were 30,000 pigs there, they couldn’t disappear so quickly, right?”

Xu Tianran couldn't suppress his anger, and he felt extremely distressed in his heart. These were all things he had prepared for future wars, but now everything was gone.

More importantly, the three level nine fixed-type soul guide shells inside had all disappeared. What if one day these three level nine fixed-type soul guide shells fell into the palace like that night? !

This time he doesn't have a father to die...

"Your Majesty, please calm down. There is good news this time. In the past two days, the principalities of our Sun Moon Empire have sent envoys one after another to secretly express their support for your ascension to the throne. Many wavering forces have also moved closer to you."

Xue Chen tried to comfort him, fearing that Xu Tianran would get sick from anger. After all, if Xu Tianran got sick from anger, who would help his Lord Saint Son to conquer the world?

"This is one of the few good news, but the deadline for full-scale launch will have to be slightly postponed."

The anger between Xu Tianran's brows lessened a little, and he shook his head slightly.

He originally wanted to take advantage of this competition to send troops directly to the three original empires. After gaining merit, he would force his father to abdicate and enthrone his father as the emperor emeritus.

But he didn't expect that, perhaps because the medicine was too strong before, his father couldn't hold on this time and died directly.

Next, he would have to reorganize the court and the country's army, unite the country, and prepare for the upcoming war.

"Master Xue, please leave first. I need to rest too."

Suddenly, Xu Tianran's eyes flashed, and he gave an order to Xue Chen beside him. Although Xue Chen was a little puzzled, he could only close the door of the hall and leave the East Palace.

"Mr. Kong, why are you visiting me so late at night?"

After Xue Chen left, Xu Tianran slowly stood up from his chair and asked loudly to the empty study.

"Buzz!"

Through the study window, the silver moon was shining outside, and the white moonlight slowly gathered into a figure. He had a head full of silver hair and a tall stature. It was none other than Kong Deming, the founder of the Sun and Moon royal family.

Looking at Xu Tianran, who was wearing a yellow robe and a white mourning hat, Kong Deming's eyes showed some complexity, but it disappeared in a flash, and he spoke lightly.

"Your Highness, the old emperor just passed away. You don't have to be so anxious."

"But I hope that after you ascend the throne, you can make the Sun Moon Empire even more powerful and prosperous." When Xu Tianran heard "Your Highness the Crown Prince", his eyes were slightly unhappy. Kong Deming was still unwilling to call him His Majesty! He was really tactless!

But when he heard the latter sentence, his face lit up with joy again, because this indirectly indicated that Kong Deming, a relative with royal blood, recognized his legal identity.

"It seems that Mr. Kong still has the ability to judge people."

In this regard, Xu Tianran couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and became even more excited. After all, the Worship Hall controlled by Kong Deming was the highest-end force in their Sun-Moon Empire.

"Please rest assured, Master Kong. I will lead our Sun and Moon cavalry to conquer a vast territory!"

Kong Deming nodded slightly when he heard this. He had long known that the Crown Prince was a war advocate and would definitely start a war after ascending the throne.

But it doesn't matter. The current strength of their Sun-Moon Empire is far beyond what the three original empires can resist. When war comes, it will only make the people of the three original empires suffer.

"When the war begins, I will give you one-third of the power of the Consecration Hall."

Kong Deming put his hands behind his back and spoke softly.

"What does Mr. Kong want?"

Xu Tianran raised his eyebrows and asked, did he know that even when his father ascended the throne, it took him three years to get the recognition of Kong Deming and gradually take over the control of the Gongfeng Hall? Now that Kong Deming brought it up, there must be something going on.

"I need you to leave seeds for our Sun Moon Empire to stabilize the morale of the army and the people."

When Xu Tianran heard this, his face turned a little green even though he tried his best to suppress it.

Kong Deming's words clearly meant that he was happy to be a father.

He could already imagine himself raising someone else's child, and how rich his head would be at that time.

"Mr. Kong, I am still in my prime, there is no rush..."

Xu Tianran shook his head firmly and tried to decline, saying that helping others raise children and putting a hat on himself was something he, Xu Tianran, would never do in his entire life!

"Half the power of the Consecration Hall."

"make a deal!"

Xu Tianran spoke without hesitation, then looked at Kong Deming's gaze and coughed lightly.

"It's not mainly for power, but I also like children. Whether it's for the Sun Moon Empire or for the royal family, I have no choice but to do it."

After all, as the old saying goes, if you want to live a decent life, you have to wear something on your head...

He Xu Tianran was willing to do this.

"Okay, and then release those imperial heirs you imprisoned. Their cultivation has been destroyed anyway, so they can't affect you after they are released."

Kong Deming nodded slightly and said finally.

"Hahaha, I just want you all to experience the life of ordinary people. Since you, Master Kong, have spoken, let them come back."

Xu Tianran laughed and thought it was fine with him.

Anyway, they are just a bunch of useless people. As Kong Deming said, they can't affect him at all.
