Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Lu Jun then threw the question back to the crowd below.

Having been called out, the senior executives naturally couldn't remain silent.

Soon, several officials and generals in charge of intelligence, security, and internal surveillance rose one after another to present their respective plans.

Some suggested deploying new soul-guided detection arrays on a large scale to conduct full-domain scanning, preferring to kill the innocent rather than let the guilty go free.

Some suggested mobilizing civilian soul masters and sect forces, setting up bounties, and launching a nationwide manhunt.

Others advocate using key cities and energy hubs as bait to set traps and lure the enemy out...

There are many options, each with its own focus, and they all sound quite comprehensive.

Emperor Xu listened quietly until the last person finished speaking, at which point he slowly shook his head.

"not enough."

He was concise and to the point.

"The detection array is extremely expensive, has incomplete coverage, and is easily evaded by high-level abyssal creatures."

“Mobilizing the entire population is inefficient, easily triggers panic, and makes it difficult to verify the authenticity of information.”

"Waiting passively for the abyss to run into our trap is too passive; the abyss may not act at the time we expect."

He rejected several core ideas in succession, making the proposer look ashamed and making the atmosphere in the hall even more tense.

Indeed, conventional methods seem inadequate when facing the invisible, cunning creatures of the abyss.

Emperor Xu looked at Lu Jun again.

"Lu Jun, what's your opinion?"

Lu Jun had been listening quietly, and only now did he smile slightly.

"Your proposals are well-thought-out and quite valuable."

He first gave his approval, then changed the subject.

"But the core problem is that we don't know when the Abyss will launch its final attack. Time is our most scarce resource."

His gaze sharpened.

"Therefore, we must take the most direct, fundamental, and efficient approach to address these issues at their source."

After speaking, he suddenly turned his head, facing the heavy door of the council chamber, and raised his voice:
"come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, the tightly closed door slid open silently again.

Two slender figures, one after the other, entered the solemn and dignified council hall, where the highest authority of the Federation was gathered.

Walking in front, with golden hair and red eyes, her face was exquisitely beautiful, exuding natural nobility and liveliness; it was none other than Di Yue.

She seemed a little uncomfortable in such an extremely serious occasion. Akame looked around at the people in formal attire and with an imposing presence, but her steps were not hesitant.

Following behind was Wu Siduo, dressed in a black outfit with her long hair tied up high.

Her expression was cold, her gaze sharp as lightning, and she subtly protected Di Yue from behind, like a sharp blade that could be drawn at any moment.

The sudden appearance of two girls with very different styles but equally outstanding qualities surprised everyone present.

In particular, some knowledgeable high-ranking officials immediately recognized Di Yue's identity as the Emperor Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest and one of the Spirit Transmission Envoys of the Spirit Transmission Tower.

How come she is here?

And it seems that he has a close relationship with Lu Jun?

The moment Xu Tiandi saw Di Yue, a golden light flashed in his eyes, as if he understood something, and he whispered:
"I see... What you want to borrow is this authority."

Lu Jun nodded, no longer keeping him in suspense.

He stood up, his voice carrying clearly throughout the hall:

"I believe everyone already knows this big star, but please allow me to formally introduce him to you all: Di Yue, the Emperor Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest. At the same time, he is also the new ruler of the Douluo Star plane." The words "ruler of the plane" resounded like a thunderclap.

A chorus of suppressed gasps and gasps of shock immediately erupted from below.

Lord of the Planes!

That is the legendary supreme being who controls the origin of the entire planet and acts on behalf of the world's will!

It actually landed on this young imperial auspicious beast?
Ignoring the commotion below, Lu Jun continued:
"This means that, in a sense, the Douluo Star of today, from its core to its atmosphere, from its mountains to its rivers, can all be seen as an extension of Di Yue's body."

He looked at Di Yue, his tone carrying an unquestionable certainty.

"Then, I ask you, who knows better than the owner of their own body where foreign objects and lesions that don't belong to them are lurking inside?"

He looked down at the silent crowd, his eyes gleaming with a knowing light.

"In the field of searching for and locking onto creatures lurking in the abyss, if Di Yue claims to be second, no one dares to claim to be first. This is the most efficient and fundamental solution."

The hall was quiet for a moment, then erupted into even louder discussions.

The councilors and generals whispered among themselves, their faces showing shock, realization, and skepticism.

"If such precise positioning were truly possible..."

"Then our Soul Guidance Legion can carry out surgical precision strikes!"

"Efficiency has increased by more than a hundredfold!"

"But... can the power of a plane lord truly achieve such meticulous perception? After all, the concealment methods of abyssal creatures are extremely sophisticated..."

Although the dissent is small, it still exists.

After all, the Lord of the Planes is too ethereal for them, while the threat of the Abyss is too real.

Lu Jun did not explain, but simply turned his head slightly and glanced at Di Yue.

Di Yue met his gaze, a hint of cunning and excitement flashing in her crimson eyes.

She'd been holding back for a long time.

The next second, an indescribable feeling occurred.

It was as if the entire world had come to life in an instant and was staring at this place with immense pressure, which suddenly erupted from Di Yue's petite body without warning.

It wasn't a murderous aura or oppressive soul force directed at an individual, but rather a grander, more fundamental sense of existence.

It was as if the floor beneath my feet had transformed into a vast, solid earth, the ceiling above my head had become a high, boundless sky, and the surrounding walls had become a continuous, undulating mountain range…

The weight of the entire world seemed to be subtly added to that golden figure.

The light from all the soul-guiding lamps in the council hall dimmed slightly.

Plop, plop...

On the seats below, whether they were generals with profound soul power or pampered councilors, they all felt their breath catch in their throats, their hearts pound like drums, and their spines felt as if they were being pressed down hard by an invisible hand in the face of this pure, overwhelming pressure based on rank. Cold sweat instantly soaked through their clothes.

The oppressive aura receded like a tide after lasting only a second.

Di Yue concealed her aura and transformed back into the harmless and beautiful young girl she once was, though her crimson eyes held an undisguised smugness as she slightly raised her chin.

She glanced down at the pale-faced, sweating, and somewhat shaken Federation dignitaries below, her clear voice carrying a hint of playfulness, yet filled with undeniable confidence:
"Now--"

"Does anyone still doubt me?"

Di Yue was a little proud of herself for such a rare performance.

Hehe, so you guys always treated me like a mascot, now you know how powerful I am!
The hall was completely silent.

All doubts and hesitations vanished completely in the face of the majesty that I had personally experienced, a majesty that emanated from the entire world.

The suffocating pressure within the council chamber finally dissipated completely, but a faint tremor lingered in the air, as if the entire world had just taken a deep breath. (End of Chapter)
