Chapter 3137: Change_1

After speaking continuously for a quarter of an hour, En Ci, whose throat had become somewhat dry, finally stopped...

"Your Majesty the Emperor, Yun'er, the ordeal that I and the other Soul Master powerhouses faced in the Dou Ling Empire roughly went like this!"

"As for the rest, they're minor matters and not worth mentioning!!"

Having heard this, Dai Yueyan also replied with a complex look in his eyes, "I didn't expect so many things to happen, especially with the Ghost Emperor, who was able to severely injure you, State Preceptor, with a single strike!"

"Such strength is truly terrifying!!"

Even if the Ghost Emperor wanted to attack the Xingluo Empire, and all the Soul Master powerhouses took action, it wouldn't make a difference, would it?

At this moment, he understood, more or less, why Emperor Xue Yuntian of the Dou Ling Empire remained so calm when facing the Ghost Emperor's attack!

Because escape was simply not an option, one could only brace oneself and vie for that last sliver of hope for survival!

Dai Yun'er then said in a deep voice, "Although there might have been some carelessness involved, this sufficiently indicates that the current Ghost Emperor possesses True God Level strength and even completely controls his own power."

"Neither high-grade soul guidance devices nor Soul Master powerhouses can cause any substantial harm to him!!"

She found it hard to imagine, with such a formidable Ghost Emperor, who else could be his opponent?

Completely dominating the human world was only a matter of time!

Hearing their words, En Ci's eyes flickered slightly, "The Ghost Emperor's strength is indeed formidable, but that doesn't necessarily mean he is unbeatable!"

Two figures suddenly emerged in his mind...

They, might have a chance at defeating the Ghost Emperor!

Dai Yueyan reignited with hope and urgently asked, "State Preceptor, what do you mean by that? Do you have a way to defeat the Ghost Emperor??"

Dai Yun'er frowned and said, "State Preceptor, you mustn't joke about this matter. In today's world, there probably aren't any powerhouses who have similarly ascended to godhood."

Even a Ultimate Douluo like the State Preceptor couldn't withstand a single blow, to defeat a being at the God level, one naturally also requires a God!

En Ci shook his head and explained, "Your Majesty, Yun'er, it's not that I have a method to defeat him, but rather I am thinking of two individuals, who may be our last hope against the Ghost Emperor!!"

Dai Yueyan pressed again, "State Preceptor, please speak freely!"

He was indeed curious to know who exactly these two people with the potential to defeat the Ghost Emperor were.

On hearing this, En Ci candidly replied, "The current Pavilion Master of the Sea God's Pavilion, Tang Wulin, and the Spirit Pagoda's Master, Gu Yuena!"

"If I'm not mistaken, their strengths are the most formidable in this world, after the Ghost Emperor!"

"Together, they even possess the power to rival a God!"

Before Dai Yueyan could speak, Dai Yun'er asked first, "State Preceptor, you say they have the power to rival a God, do you have any evidence??"

She knew the former wouldn't speak without basis, but to believe such a claim, some evidence was still required!

En Ci nodded his head, "Since I've mentioned it, naturally, I have evidence!"

After a pause, he continued, "Do you, Your Majesty, and Yun'er, still remember the battle where we joined forces to exterminate the evil Soul Masters?"

Dai Yueyan immediately thought of something, "Are you referring to that battle where the major powers of the Soul Land joined hands to besiege?"

En Ci affirmed, "Indeed, it was precisely because Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena joined forces that we were able to repel the Ghost Emperor who had just broken through to godhood!"

"Otherwise, the Soul Masters who went to eradicate the evil Soul Masters in the Soul Land would have been completely annihilated!!"

Dai Yun'er drew in a sharp breath, "There... there's such a thing, and I've never heard of it!"

She only knew that battle successfully eliminated nearly all the evil Soul Masters!

But after coming to her senses, she spoke with a grave tone, "However, the reason the Ghost Emperor was repelled back then was that he had just broken through to the God Level and hadn't fully mastered his own strength!"

"If Gu Yuena and Tang Wulin were to fight a great battle with him now, the result might be a disastrous defeat!"

Dai Yueyan felt a bit awkward and couldn't help but remind her, "Yun'er, don't always think of the worst-case scenario. There's no doubt about the Ghost Emperor's strength, but that doesn't mean Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena aren't improving their own!"

The State Preceptor had just spoken, and such a reply was not a good omen.

En Ci didn't fly into a rage but agreed, "Mmm, Yun'er, what you said makes sense. It's questionable whether Gu Yuena and Tang Wulin could defeat the Ghost Emperor if they joined forces now!"

"But besides them, I can't think of anyone else who could battle the Ghost Emperor!"

Dai Yun'er bowed her head, biting her thin lips, "What about the gods from the Upper Realm? Perhaps they will descend to the Lower Realm to help eradicate the Ghost Emperor!"

No sooner had the words left her mouth than Dai Yueyan objected...

"Impossible, Yun'er, your thinking is too naive. If the Divine Realm could intervene in the Lower Realm at will, they should have executed the Ghost Emperor as soon as he ascended to Godhood!"

"But they didn't lift a finger even when the Ghost Emperor turned all the Soul Masters in the Dou Ling Empire into evil Soul Masters, and that says it all!"

In his heart, so-called gods were the least trustworthy of all!

Because whenever disaster struck, they were nowhere to be seen!

Feeling the former's attitude, Dai Yun'er murmured, "Brother..."

Dai Yueyan paused, clearly realizing that his previous behavior was unbecoming of an emperor's dignity...

"I lost my composure just now."

Then, he turned to En Ci, "State Preceptor, the reason you disagreed with our Xingluo Empire leaning towards the Spirit Pagoda was because of this, right?"

The latter nodded, "Exactly, the Spirit Pagoda's power is essential to resist the Ghost Emperor and other evil Soul Masters!"

The reason he hadn't fully supported the federation was precisely because of this factor!

Dai Yueyan sighed helplessly, "I think I understand the State Preceptor's thoughts. Let the Xingluo Empire continue to remain neutral, then!"

"Unless we really have to choose between the two powers, let's consider it then!"

He himself had been too hasty in deciding earlier, without considering so many factors!

Of course, what mattered most was that En Ci, as the State Preceptor, hadn't let his own ideas influence him!

But after speaking, he noticed that neither En Ci nor Dai Yun'er had said anything...

He immediately asked with confusion, "State Preceptor, sister, why have you both suddenly fallen silent??"

Dai Yun'er and En Ci exchanged glances, and the former pursed her lips, "Because the Xingluo Empire can only do so much right now. The decision you made, brother, is not at all surprising!"

The former forced a few smiles, "Is... is that so? I thought you had some objections to my decision!"

It seems, now is not the time to choose between the Spirit Pagoda and the federation!

I, myself, will just quietly wait for that time to come!
