Douluo Continent: I Have No Thieves Under Heaven, the Explosive King Returns

Chapter 249 The Dilemma of a World Without Thieves, the Martial Soul Empire Unifies the Continent

The wind and snow in the far north still howl.

However, within a small area, the howling wind and snow bypassed it.

The thief sat cross-legged within, emanating an aura even colder than the far north.

"call!"

He exhaled a breath of stale air and slowly opened his eyes.

Feeling the changes in his body, Tianxia Wuzei nodded in satisfaction.

"The Sea Shark King Martial Soul undoubtedly benefited the most from this trip to the far north!"

During this trip, the four soul rings of Titan Snow Demon King, Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, and Ice Heaven Snow Maiden were all absorbed by the Golden Sea Shark King Martial Soul.

The Golden Sea Shark King Martial Soul was originally only of the extreme water attribute, but now it has gained the extreme ice attribute.

It has been improved in all aspects, and even its attack methods have become much sharper.

The reason why Tianxia Wuzei has never used other martial souls in battle is not because he doesn't know how, but because the three martial souls of Golden Dart King are still somewhat inferior to those of Explosive King and Fire Dragon King.

Now that the Golden Sea Shark King's martial soul attribute has become stronger, it can naturally be used as one of his main means of attack.

Moreover, his final goal in conquering the mainland is Poseidon Island, and with the Golden Sea Shark King as a means of attack, it should be much easier.

"But before that, there are two more things to do!"

The Thieves of the World do not want to have any worries, so they must solve these problems before they can safely destroy Seagod Island and conquer the God Realm!

"Sixth Soul Skill, Avatar Formation!"

He whispered a command, and four avatars appeared before him.

Then each one carries the other four martial souls besides the Explosive King, and releases its soul rings.

After scanning the area, Tianxia Wuzei discovered that apart from the Golden Burst King and the Golden Sea Shark King martial souls which possessed nine soul rings, the rest were still lacking.

"First, what I need to do now is continue acquiring spirit rings, but I need to fill one slot for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. So I need to fill all the spirit ring slots for all spirits except the Sea Shark King spirit!"

He knew very well that if he destroyed Seagod Island, or if that old codger Seagod would definitely make a move during the destruction of Seagod Island.

That would very likely be the start of the decisive battle, and we must maximize our strength as much as possible.

Therefore, apart from the tenth spirit ring of the Golden Sea Shark King, all other spirit rings must be filled.

Because no one in the world knows what other sea spirit beasts they might encounter besides the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

"The spirit beasts in the far north that are over 100,000 years old are no less numerous than those in the Star Dou Great Forest. Filling up spirit rings here is not a difficult task."

The phrase "There are no thieves in the world" clearly indicates that doing the first thing is not difficult.

What worried him most was the second thing!
"What exactly was that scene that appeared in my mind when I was preparing to kill Xue Di?"

"That scene was too realistic; it couldn't be an illusion. Could it be... the remnant soul of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm causing trouble?"

The moment the idea came to mind, "No Thieves Under Heaven" immediately rejected it.

"Although the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm possesses a million years of cultivation, it is too weak in other aspects. I easily crushed everything it had by relying on the Silver Dragon King's dragon might. So it couldn't have been it!"

But if it wasn't the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, then what was it?
This puzzled him a lot.

"I must find out the truth, otherwise I won't be at peace with myself!"

However, the thief-free world did not stand idly by; he added a layer of ten-thousand-year-old mystic ice to Zhu Zhuqing and the avatar with the soul bone.

This ensures the coffin is more robust, while also allowing Zhu Zhuqing to recover faster.

Immediately afterward, while acquiring the spirit ring, he thought about the scene that suddenly appeared in his mind.

While the Thieves of the World were hunting ferocious beasts to obtain soul rings, the outside world had already changed.

Without the three upper sects and two great empires, the Martial Soul Empire swept across the continent and unified it with unstoppable momentum.

Today marks the day when we will have unified the continent.

Therefore, the Spirit Empire held a new founding ceremony, and the leaders of each region came to Spirit City to pay their respects.

However, the brutal massacre of the city by the "No Thieves Under Heaven" incident has caused discontent among the people in many places.

From the high platform, Qian Renxue took in all the emotions of those people.

"Sigh, so it's really developing in this direction?!" She knew that the disgruntled representatives in the audience were all harboring resentment towards the massacre of the city by the "No Thieves Under Heaven" regime.

Now that the Martial Soul Empire is so powerful that no one can rival it, these people naturally dare not have any thoughts.

However, if the Spirit Empire declines, another force no less powerful than the Spirit Empire may rise.

People in these regions might betray their country and defect to the enemy at the first opportunity.

Just as Qian Renxue was struggling with whether or not to expose Tianxia Wuzei's withdrawal from the Martial Soul Empire.

Because they are not the kind of people who would abandon their benefactors after they have served their purpose.

Even if the enemy is the God Realm, the Martial Soul Empire is willing to stand together against them!

Just as Qian Renxue was struggling with her decision, a voice full of experience echoed in her mind.

"Xue'er, do as he says."

"Grandpa, this..."

Qian Renxue shuddered and turned to look at Qian Daoliu deep inside the palace.

Qian Daoliu, looking old and frail, nodded with a wry smile.

"This was his own decision, in order to sever ties with the Spirit Empire. Otherwise, the gods in the God Realm would use us to threaten him."

"In that case, we will not only fail to help him, but we will also hold him back. Then it will be a loss for us."

"Therefore, his departure from the Spirit Empire should be exposed, and even exaggerated. Only in this way can a win-win situation be achieved."

Qian Renxue was not stupid but rather very clever, and she suddenly understood after being enlightened.

He immediately lowered his head in shame.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry. I acted on my emotions again and almost ruined everything."

"It's alright. It's good that nothing serious has happened yet. The ceremony is about to begin, so go and make your preparations."

After hearing Qian Daoliu's telepathic message, Qian Renxue walked to the very top of the platform.

"The auspicious hour has arrived, the ceremony shall begin!"

The Martial Soul Empire was established on [date missing].

Then comes a string of polite words, just going through the motions.

Several hours later, as the ceremony was drawing to a close, Qian Renxue announced a shocking piece of news.

"The former Pope of the Spirit Empire, Tianxia Wuzei, indiscriminately massacred a city and destroyed the country due to personal grudges. After discussions among the high-ranking officials of the Spirit Empire, Tianxia Wuzei's position as Pope was abolished, and he was listed as the Empire's highest-ranking wanted criminal, with no exceptions for life or death if he is found!"

"The founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China is now concluded!"

After saying that, Qian Renxue turned and left, leaving behind a group of people from Wuhun City who were completely stunned.

It took a while for those present to realize what was happening.

Immediately following, a massive wave of discussion erupted!

"What?! The Pope of 'A World Without Thieves' has been deposed?!"

"Is the Martial Soul Empire going to discard us after we've served our purpose? They've actually abolished the position of Pope, a position supposedly free of thieves!"

"Good riddance! Although he indiscriminately killed innocent people, this is his fate. Long live the Spirit Empire!"

"That's right, arrogance comes at a price. And he didn't pay the price, so he has no choice but to be punished!"

The discussions fell into two categories: one was incomprehension, and the other was relief.

However, it must be said that the decision to abolish the position of Pope of the World Without Thieves was a mistake.

Indeed, it made those who were dissatisfied with the Martial Soul Empire feel a sense of belonging.

After all, from these people's perspective, the Martial Soul Empire had directly abandoned the idea of ​​a world without thieves in order to win over their hearts and minds.

With such a righteous decision and the empire's formidable strength, how could they not be loyal to it!
Soon, news of Tianxia Wuzei's abolition from the papacy and his being wanted spread like wildfire across the entire continent.

Even the realm of gods!
Meanwhile, the person in question, Tianxia Wuzei, was still hunting soul beasts in the far north to obtain soul rings.
