Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 242 Chen Xinjie, aren't you afraid of the Sea God's wrath?
News of the evil spirit masters' sudden attack on major cities spread almost immediately throughout the entire Sun Moon Federation. The internet was filled with comments from ordinary people expressing their fear of the evil spirit masters' presence, and the news quickly rose to the top of the trending list.

To prevent the spread of panic, the authorities quickly issued a statement. The Speaker of the Federal Council announced via live broadcast that a kill order would be issued against evil spirit masters. Any spirit master who kills an evil spirit master will receive a generous reward from the Federation and even the Spirit Pagoda.

Meanwhile, the official video was released.

Each video represents a city, featuring the police force, mecha squadron, and soul master defense team, all patrolling around the clock, solemnly expressing the Federation's determination to protect civilians and their property at all costs.

Moreover, a large number of Title Douluo and even Super Douluo Soul Masters made a comprehensive appearance.

Most of them come from various Soul Master families or sects.

Normally, these kinds of things don't fall under the jurisdiction of these people. The reason why all parties are so active is mainly due to the promises made by Nan Liujing and the Blacksmith Association.

If anyone can kill evil soul masters, they will be given priority to purchase or customize high-quality metal materials from the Blacksmith Association, based on the number and level of the kills. In this era where soul-guided weapons, mechs, and battle armor are becoming increasingly important, a weak martial soul is something that is innate and extremely difficult to make up for later. However, soul-guided weapons, mechs, and battle armor can be greatly improved with the help of materials. Who wouldn't covet that top-quality metal material?

Of course, despite the numerous guarantees, most civilians were aware that if the evil spirit masters really came again, people would most likely still die. The only consolation was that at least they wouldn't be indiscriminately killed like chickens by the evil spirit masters, which gave them a slight sense of security.

Spirit Transferring Tower.

Inside the tower owner's office.

Nan Liujing and Leng Yaozhu sat side by side. In front of them, a long table extended outwards, displaying a series of holographic projections of people dressed in formal attire.

The Speaker of the Federal Parliament, ministers of various federal departments, commanders of various legions, and more than twenty-five people standing at the pinnacle of power in the Sun and Moon Federation were all invited to participate in this special meeting.

Looking at this young man, not yet twenty years old, who had already reached the top of the world, everyone present couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

The Federation's top brass readily agreed to Nan Liujing's proposal for cooperation to resolve the Demon Dimension issue, and quickly voted on each proposal.

In the end, in addition to the powerful Soul Masters, Yu Guanzhi made a bold decision to send the Central Legion's Special Operations Battalion to participate in this war against the demons.

After Nan Liujing promised the compensation, the meeting officially ended.

Before concluding, the speaker sincerely expressed his gratitude to Nam Ryu-kyung.

Although the Federation is large and has many powerful individuals, it is still extremely difficult to protect every city. The number of casualties in this attack by evil soul masters is within an acceptable range. The ones who made the greatest contribution were actually the various soul master forces, and the reason they took action was all because of metal.

Nan Liujing said sincerely, "The desire to exterminate evil spirits has always been the top priority of the Spirit Pagoda since ancient times."

The Speaker of the Federation's expression shifted slightly, and he smiled, "Since the Divine Craftsman has done this, the Federation must also give something in return. I will have someone publicize your achievements in this attack by the evil soul masters, so that the people of the entire Federation will thank you for your help."

The faces of the federal high-ranking officials were all smiling, clearly indicating that this was something they had discussed in advance.

The pressure from the abyss has only been temporarily relieved; nurturing a god with the power of faith is the Federation's top priority at present.

"Thank you." Nan Liujing was surprised, but he also knew that if the Federation did this, it would indeed help him completely win the respect of the common people throughout the Federation.

The speaker nodded solemnly.

One by one, the holographic projections disappeared, leaving behind a person who surprised Nan Liujing and Leng Yaozhu.

Chen Xinjie, commander of the Poseidon Legion.

"Does the Vast Ocean Douluo have something to say?" Nan Liujing asked curiously.

Chen Xinjie rubbed his fingers, paused for a moment, and then said, "To be honest, my Sea God family is a descendant of the first Sea God, Poseidon, and our family also possesses a divine artifact forged by the Sea God. If the Spirit Transmission Envoy needs the power of faith, perhaps this old man can help."

A strange look flashed across Nan Liujing's eyes.

He deliberately put on an expectant expression and said, "So Minister Chen has such a background. Please tell me."

Chen Xinjie paused for a moment, then continued, "With the artifact forged by the Sea God, I can absorb the faith of the sea, which can greatly assist you on your path to godhood. Furthermore, with the Sea God's helmet, you will also have the ability to command the power of the sea in the future. Our Douluo Star is 70% sea, so it is absolutely not to be underestimated."

Nan Liujing said solemnly, "Faith is a very serious matter. Minister Chen, aren't you afraid that the Sea God will blame you for giving the ability to command the power of the sea to outsiders?"

Chen Xinjie's expression stiffened, and he said in a rigid tone, "Our Sea God family has worshipped the Sea God for generations. Furthermore, the great enemy of the Abyss has not yet been eliminated, so I believe the Sea God would agree to my transfer of the power of faith."

"So what do I need to give in return?" Nan Liujing asked rhetorically.

Chen Xinjie revealed his true intentions: "I would like to ask you to express your support for the reconstruction of the Sea God Legion and promise to give three sets of five-element Heavenly Forged Four-Word Battle Armor made of three metals in fusion to my Sea God family."

Leng Yaozhu narrowed her eyes, intrigued to see how her beloved disciple planned to answer.

Nan Liujing remained silent for a while, as if he was seriously considering something. After a moment, he smiled and said, "Think twice before you act. Minister Chen, how about giving me some more time to consider?"

Seeing that Nan Liujing did not refuse and even seemed tempted, Chen Xinjie was secretly pleased: "Of course, I await the messenger's reply at any time."

Nan Liujing smiled and nodded.

Finally, Chen Xinjie's projection also disappeared.

Leng Yaozhu asked curiously, "You didn't refuse directly, are you planning to do something bad again?"

Nan Liujing walked to the window and gazed at the distant Shrek City: "Loyalty that is not absolute is absolute disloyalty. I have temporarily seized the faith of the sea and spread my name, but the Sea God has ruled the sea for tens of thousands of years. Although the faith has waned in recent years, it is still immense. I want to use Chen Xinjie to see which sea spirit beast groups pretend to respect me and then turn around and submit to the Sea God."

Leng Yaozhu's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands lightly: "In that case, we can indeed filter out the dishonest sea spirit beast groups."

Nan Liujing glanced at Leng Yaozhu through the window's reflection.

After obtaining the sea chart from Little White Shark, he was able to observe the religious situation in various sea areas in a timely manner.

As expected, since he did not subdue the entire ocean like Poseidon, although many beast kings proclaimed his title 'Heavenly Tribulation' everywhere, according to the sea chart, the closer one gets to the Devil's Sea and these beast kings' seas, the fainter the blue-gold light of faith that originally belonged to the sea god becomes. Conversely, the farther away one is, the more the faith remains predominantly blue-gold, indicating that the faith still reveres the sea god.

Nan Liujing didn't blame Long Ao and the others. After all, the ocean was too vast, and relying solely on intimidation and revealing that the evil beasts were cultivated by Tang San would hardly be enough to completely change the numerous beast races that existed on the vast ocean.

"correct."

Leng Yaozhu suddenly said, "You asked me to inquire about the Xu family in Mingdu, and they have agreed. They will send someone to deliver Jinshui Xianghan at that time."

"They agreed quite readily," Nan Liujing said with a smile.

As a former royal family of the Sun Moon Empire, the Xu family's treasure trove was indeed extraordinary, possessing several pieces of the Golden Water Essence. Currently, in addition to the Golden Water Essence he had previously collected, Nan Liujing has almost gathered enough materials to forge a Heavenly Forging Metal with 100% fusion.

That kind of four-word battle armor is definitely the strongest in history, and it is even highly likely to become a true divine artifact when he breaks through to godhood.

Leng Yaozhu smiled and said, "Although the Golden Water Convergence is precious, it is still far inferior to two sets of four-word battle armor. Your move is more like giving away freebies."

Nan Liujing chuckled and said, "It's a benefit, and also a favor. The Xu family owes me, and they know that."

A pair of snow-white, delicate arms wrapped around his waist from behind. Leng Yaozhu pressed her forehead against Nan Liujing's back and said softly, "You haven't had time to spend with those little girls lately. You should still go and spend time with them before you leave. They've been working too hard on their cultivation lately."

Nan Liujing paused, a helpless smile appearing on his lips.

His cultivation breakthrough was too rapid, and soon he no longer needed the women's help. Only Gu Yue and Na'er, with their special status, could lend a hand.

"Of course I'll accompany you." Nan Liujing turned around and, at the other's soft cry, lifted her up in a princess carry.

Looking at the stunningly beautiful face of the woman in his arms, Nan Liujing said with burning desire, "But I want to spend some time with you first."

Leng Yaozhu's pretty face flushed, and she pretended to be tough as she said, "You've been hanging out with me these past few days, haven't you spent enough time with me?"

"It's never enough." Nan Liujing laughed. "You're always the teacher, can I be the teacher today?"

Leng Yaozhu's long eyelashes trembled, her face flushed, and she asked in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "What do you want to do?" Nan Liujing smiled and said, "I'll teach you all my 'knowledge and experience' as a teacher, and help you review what you've learned."

Leng Yaozhu pursed her red lips and suddenly fell silent, her fair and delicate skin quietly becoming hot.

Nan Liujing stared straight at her and said, "If you don't say anything, then I'll take that as your agreement."

Leng Yaozhu closed her beautiful eyes.

Nan Liujing chuckled, then with a flash, he grabbed Leng Yaozhu and rushed into the bedroom, slamming the door shut.

A lesson that belongs to spring is in full swing.

------

a few days later.

Inside the Soul Arena at the Spirit Transmission Academy.

More than three hundred people gathered on the huge arena.

The vast majority of them are soldiers from the Central Army Corps' Special Operations Battalion, who will be responsible for deploying various soul-guided weapons, including level-nine fixed-position soul-guided shells.

Apart from that, any one of the rest of them could easily make the Federation tremble.

Aside from powerful Soul Masters within the Federation such as Yu Guanzhi, Guan Yue, and Dong Zian.

Yuanen Zhentian, Yuanen Tianshang, and Yuanen Tiandang, whose spiritual sea was almost shattered due to his wife's death, are also present.

On the Xuanmen side, the Ruthless Douluo also arrived, all because he had returned to Xuanmen to take charge after the Blood God Legion's defense mission was completed.

On the Spirit Pagoda side, the father and son, Qian Gu Qingfeng and Qian Gu Dieting, were also present.

The latter came purely because he was itching to fight. After all, at his current level, it was actually very difficult to fight against others. Opportunities like this, where he could go all out and fight the enemy to the death, were extremely rare.

On the other side, Ya Li, who was talking quietly with Leng Yaozhu and had a stunningly beautiful face and an intellectual and graceful temperament, was also there. She had been called there by Nan Liujing alone.

Since it involves angels and matters of faith, Nan Liujing wondered if Yali could take this opportunity to break through to the quasi-god realm.

According to the information left behind by the God of Destruction, after returning to the God Realm, he may bring back a divine position with life attributes, which can be given to Yali.

A dazzling light shone within the Soul Arena, and a massive angel gate slowly opened before everyone's eyes.

Nan Liujing walked at the front: "Everyone, follow me."

The main force followed in an orderly manner.

As the ripples beneath our feet dissipated, the familiar platform halfway up the mountain reappeared.

But this time, the situation is a bit different.

The enormous magic circle that enveloped Angel City and its surroundings was radiating a golden-red light, and a chilling aura permeated the air.

Just as everyone was observing this unfamiliar plane, several figures flew rapidly from a distance.

The man at the head was none other than Griffin, the chief elder of Angel City.

Upon seeing the imposing Douluo Continent figures, the old man's worries vanished instantly. He strode up to Nan Liujing and said, "You all kept your word and have indeed come to support my Angel City."

Hundreds of eyes fell on Griffin. Nan Liujing said in a deep voice, "I see the color of the array has changed. Could it be that the demons have already attacked?"

Griffin's expression was grave: "Those Fallen Ones seem to have developed some kind of weapon specifically designed to counter the Holy Light Shield. They sent an advance team over in advance, and although there hasn't been a full-scale war in the past few days, they have been constantly testing the weapon's destructive power against the shield."

Leng Yaozhu said quietly, "These demons went to the magic plane so eagerly, it seems they found a way to break this magic circle there."

Griffin and the other three elders were puzzled, but the powerful figures in the Douluo Continent understood perfectly.

Nan Liujing said calmly, "Elder Yu, the deployment of the ultra-high-altitude soul-guided satellite is now entrusted to you."

"Okay." Yu Guanzhi nodded and quickly issued orders to the soldiers in his combat battalion.

Nan Liujing then said to Griffin, "Elder, before the war fully begins, we need to deploy some weapons belonging to our world. How about you find a guide to lead the way?"

“No problem.” Griffin glanced at the three hundred soldiers with their grim faces and impeccable discipline, and immediately agreed.

An elder stepped forward and led the soldiers away.

Griffin and the other two elders couldn't help but be surprised as they looked at the group of powerful figures with astonishing auras, with Nan Liujing seemingly in the lead.

He gestured for them to come: "Please come with me to the City of Angels for a discussion."

We continued our journey and arrived in Angel City once again.

Just a few days later, the atmosphere in the city had changed drastically.

Nan Liujing glanced at it casually.

The once bustling streets were now sparsely populated and eerily quiet.

The Douluo powerhouses were also observing this city in another world. They felt that Angel City and Heaven Dou City were somewhat similar, with the architectural style leaning towards the old era.

Griffin explained, "Most of the tribe has gone to the front lines to wait, which is why there aren't many people in the city."

Yali couldn't help but ask, "Did all the women and children go to the front lines too?"

Griffin sighed: "Ever since those traitors became fallen angels and brought out the polluted energy from the meteorite fragments, our plane has been corrupted. Apart from the areas protected by the Holy Light Tower, we have nowhere to go. Once the Holy Light territory falls, our race will perish. Since that's the case, we have no choice but to give it our all. Especially since those fallen ones have found a way to breach the Holy Light Tower. It's safe to say that without your arrival, our race would be doomed."

Ruthless Douluo suddenly said, "So, you are just like us in the Douluo Plane, and in terms of the severity of your situation, you are even worse off."

Griffin paused for a moment, then remembered what Nan Liujing had mentioned before about an alternate dimension called the Abyss invading the Douluo plane.

Guan Yue said coldly, "Back when my senior brother was still alive, he recorded the story of the Demon Lord invading the Douluo plane. Last time, that Demon Lord escaped. This time, I want to see if he can escape again."

When this was mentioned, the two brothers, Yuan Entian and Yuan Entianshang, who had remained silent throughout, revealed a cold hatred in their eyes, their gazes filled with gloom.

"Uncle, rest assured, I will give you and your second uncle a chance to avenge yourselves."

Nan Liujing transmitted his voice to Yuan En and his brother.

Upon hearing the telepathic message, the two brothers' eyes flickered, and then they looked at each other.

Yuan Entianshang remained silent for a few seconds, then sent a telepathic message to his elder brother with deep emotion: "Elder brother, you have a good son-in-law."

His eyes were still cloudy, and Yuan Entian, whose life was sustained purely by hatred, paused for a moment before saying, "It is my fault, brother."

Yuan Entianshang said softly, "None of that matters anymore. What matters is that we brothers can get our revenge."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Entian's eyes suddenly sharpened.
