Chapter 349 Qian Renxue’s plan

I don't know how long it took, but a figure once again appeared within the cultivation room of the Skywalk Academy, touching his cheeks as he walked over to the futon and sat down.

And at this time, the name of the God of Death, and Evil God had already spread to all corners of the continent.

"Father, it has been learnt that Lin Manshan has returned to Skywalker Academy." Inside the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, beside the bed, Qian Renxue softly reported.

"Qinghe. Do you think, cough cough, it is possible?" Xue Ye asked very breathlessly.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death, it's human nature. With Lin Manshan's personality, I'm afraid he won't make an exception for anyone." Qian Renxue shook her head slightly, "When Lin Manshan left before, he should have been securing spirit rings for his wife. As a god, it would have been possible to skip these links and directly enhance the strength of those around him, or even bring them directly to the Underworld.

However, he didn't do so, and from this, a lot can be inferred"

"I see." Xue Ye's eyes suddenly dimmed for a few moments before he said, "To be able to witness you leading the rise of the empire in my lifetime, Father's life, this lifetime is not a wasted trip. Now that the empire's internal troubles have been resolved, Qinghe, what are you going to do next?"

"I intend to unite with the Martial Spirit Hall to annex the Star Luo Empire." Qian Renxue was unapologetic.

"I'm afraid it's not a good idea to seek the skin of a tiger like this." Xue Ye frowned slightly.

"The number of spirit masters under the control of the Martial Spirit Hall is too many, there are even more than a dozen Titled Douluos on the surface. With the Martial Spirit Hall standing in the middle of the two empires, it would be difficult for our Heaven Dou Empire to take advantage of this opportunity, even if our military strength is strong. The only way to break the deadlock is to unite." Qian Renxue replied back, "Father, I have also thought of asking for help from the Skywalker Academy, but Lin Manshan said that day at the Skywalker Academy that he would not casually intervene in the affairs of the lower realms. So I guess that this path won't work. As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, they are still far from enough."

"Indeed." After a moment of contemplation, Xue Ye also had to nod slightly in agreement.

"In addition, Lin Manshan and Dugu Bo will have to leave sooner or later, and at that time, the two of them will definitely leave with their families. At that time, the deterrent power will not be there, and if the Star Luo Empire takes a step ahead and joins forces with the Martial Spirit Hall to attack our Heaven Dou Empire, what should we do?" Qian Renxue continued, "Between forces and forces, there is always an exchange of benefits. In my opinion, this possibility is not non-existent."

"Perhaps, in Imperial Son's generation, this kind of thing won't happen, but what about the next generation, the subsequent generation?"

"Father, Imperial Son does not want to leave this crisis to the next generation." His tone could not help but be a few points heavier.

At those words, Xue Ye instantly fell into silence.

"And now, Lin Manshan and Dugu Bo are still around. With these two at the helm, my Imperial Family will have the leverage to cooperate and fight with the Martial Spirit Hall. Lin Manshan once said that he would stay in the lower realm for another hundred years, and I think that this hundred years should be enough for us to grow." Qian Renxue spoke with a confident tone, "When our Heaven Dou Empire succeeds in annexing the Star Luo Empire, our national power will definitely grow once again. At that time, with the Skywalk Academy as a deterrent from the side, the imperial son will have the opportunity to gradually eat away the Martial Spirit Hall, cutting its influence, digging up its roots, and slowly trying to dig it out."

"And before that, in order to facilitate cooperation, I will make a promise that the Martial Spirit Hall will be treated as a national religion."

"Doesn't the Martial Spirit Hall worship the Angel God? Then I will add a new god, arranging the God of Death and the Evil God's title to be enshrined as well. I think that Lin Manshan and Dugu Bo will definitely be happy to have this done. In the face of two gods, I think the Martial Spirit Hall will be powerless to stop them. In this way, the Martial Spirit Hall will no longer be a dominant force, but will be divided from within, with all parties balanced, making it easy for our Imperial Family to dispatch them."

"Divide from within," Xue Ye instantly brightened up, and quickly said, "This plan is very good."

After saying that, he looked up toward Qian Renxue and said with great relief, "Cough cough, Qinghe, just go ahead and do it."

"Yes, Father." Qian Renxue's face was solemn.

Without saying anything, outside the bedroom, "Heh." The corners of her mouth pulled out a cold smile as she walked out of the great hall in large strides.

Time passed rapidly, a few months passed quickly, and the New Year was approaching.

Spirit City, within the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Bibi Dong who sat on the main throne, reached out and took in the epistle presented by Ghost Douluo, opened it and gave it a quick scan, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but flicker slightly.

Raising her head to look at Ghost Douluo, she faintly said, "Have Salas reply, just say that our Martial Spirit Hall agrees."

"Stand down." Another sentence was added.

"Yes." Ghost Douluo arched his hand and bowed to leave.

Not long after, inside the bedroom at the back of the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Bibi Dong slowly walked in, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up into a smile.   

"Ah Dong, Happy New Year!" Lin Manshan stood up from the edge of the bed and said with a smile.

"Happy New Year, Ah Man." Bibi Dong smiled as she approached.

Not long after, with a creak, the warm and resilient big bed inexplicably trembled.

A few days later, at the back of Skywalker Academy, in the small courtyard of Old Jack's home, "Bang bang." The sound of crackling firecrackers kept ringing out. Several little kids jumped up and down, carrying bamboo firecrackers and throwing them after lighting them. Inside the house, Lin Manshan brought a few girls to sit around the table.

The New Year was approaching, and it was another day to gather together.

Only, as spirit masters, such days were too short. Just a few days passed, and the several women once again plunged into cultivation.

As for Lin Manshan, although he had already fused his own divine power over the past few months. However, for the elemental powers within the elemental soul core, especially the space and time origin powers, they were still at the introductory stage, and still needed to be further comprehended and familiarised with.

Therefore, after leading the crowd of souls to stroll around the underworld, he once again entered the state of deep cultivation.

Time passed little by little until one day in March.

News came from the academy that Xue Qinghe was marching to the border with a large army. Lin Manshan had no fluctuations in his heart and was not prepared to participate in it, he just observed the situation with the help of his Soul Eye at the time of the confrontation when the army arrived a month later.

The result, as expected, after learning that Qian Renxue led the army to march, the Star Luo Empire Emperor also personally arrived at the border. When the two armies confronted each other, Bibi Dong led many Titled Douluo appeared on the battlefield, and displayed God-level might.

Seeing this, the Star Luo Empire Emperor also recognised the situation and knew that this battle was simply impossible to win. Thus, after Qian Renxue spoke out a series of conditions to beckon him to surrender, he accepted it in public.

Since then, without any more casualties, the two empires announced their merger.

As a sign of gratitude, Qian Renxue publicly announced that the newborn empire would be renamed Spirit Empire. In this way, it was made clear that this resolution was not an annexation of the Star Luo Empire by the Heaven Dou Empire, but rather a peaceful unification between the two sides for the sake of the peace and tranquillity of the continent. From then on, the sovereigns and subjects of the two countries will put aside their former enmity and will not be separated from each other. In addition, the Martial Spirit Hall was declared as the state religion, responsible for administering schools, training and managing spirit masters for the empire.

At the same time, the God of Death, the Rakshasa God, the Evil God, will be enshrined in the Martial Spirit Hall, receiving enshrinement alongside the Angel God.

In short, there was a whole lot of impassioned talk.

After hearing only half of it, Lin Manshan didn't want to listen any further and immediately withdrew his divine thought.

A month later, Qian Renxue returned to the empire and sent someone to invite him.

Simultaneously, other spirit master powers such as the Martial Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were also invited.

"I really didn't expect that Xue Qinghe would hide something like this from us." Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, Sword Douluo, who had followed Ning Fengzhi, who was acting as the military advisor at the border, swept his gaze over the invitation and couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion under his breath.

The matter of co-operating with the Martial Spirit Hall was something that they were simply unaware of.

"Ai, things have come to this, there's no point in talking about it." Ning Fengzhi shook his head slightly and continued, "There's no doubt that Xue Qinghe invited us over this time to regroup the spirit master forces on the continent, and it's expected that at the very least, we'll be asked to hand over our spirit master name list."

"And we don't have a chance to resist at all, Bibi Dong has already become a god, it's not something we can fight against."

"Right now, we can only look at Lin Manshan and Dugu Bo's attitude first."

"It can be done only this way." Sword Douluo's thoughts fluttered, and there was nothing he could do except sigh helplessly.
