Chapter 173: Bibi Dong's Empire, Su Yun's Perspective on Changing the Timeline

"Your thoughts are indeed more meticulous than Nana's." Bibi Dong nodded slightly, showing approval for Su Yun's actions.

Hu Liena was naturally very pleased to hear her teacher praise her junior brother, Su Yun.

However, hearing her teacher always comparing her to him, her originally happy face fell once again.

So, she muttered: "Teacher, here you go again, you were not like this before…"

"Hehe, comparison brings about the desire for progress and the object to surpass," Bibi Dong encouraged with a smile, looking at Hu Liena: "In the past, your junior brother Su Yun always considered you three as his benchmarks."

"Now, isn't it the reverse, giving you three someone to surpass?"

Hearing this, Hu Liena nodded silently, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

She, her brother, and Yan were once subtly referred to as the golden generation of young people on the continent by many in the Spirit Hall.

Some even speculated that the youngest Title Douluo might emerge from among them.

Until the arrival and inclusion of Su Yun, which shattered many of the old Spirit Hall members' expectations of them.

If they were called the golden generation, then Su Yun alone might be worth hundreds of gold!

After all, Su Yun's spirit and combat talents far surpassed any of them, even combined!

Even in the cultivation of mental strength, Su Yun also had considerable talent.

Even her pride, the charm, was gradually losing its effect on Su Yun.

Of course, Su Yun's increasing strength did not cause jealousy in Hu Liena's heart, but rather stimulated her competitive spirit.

After all, what she liked was a strong male who could conquer her, and sometimes she wanted to conquer the other...

"Alright, regarding your cultivation, there's not much guidance I can offer you now. The only thing I can do is provide some guidance when you reach a bottleneck," Bibi Dong said softly.

"Compared to this, there are some more important things that I think it's time to discuss with you in advance," Bibi Dong's voice fell gently on both Hu Liena and Su Yun's ears.

The former was all ears, while the latter was calm.

Su Yun guessed that Bibi Dong might be about to discuss her idea of establishing the Spirit Empire.

"In no more than ten years, our Spirit Hall will completely annex the Tian Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, establishing the Spirit Empire."

Indeed, that was Bibi Dong's idea.

Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Hu Liena's face immediately showed a shocked expression.

She did not expect her teacher to have such an ambition.

"What are your thoughts?" Bibi Dong looked at the two different faces below and then signaled Hu Liena to speak first.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing her initial surprise, Hu Liena said: "Teacher, although our Spirit Hall has a large number of spirit masters, we have not been part of the empire's system from the start."

"The spirit masters registered with our Spirit Hall are mostly independent, and they will not fight and die for our Spirit Hall on the battlefield."

"Even if we force them, if they rebel in the end, wouldn't it be more disadvantageous for us?"

Hu Liena's thoughts were indeed reasonable.

Bibi Dong nodded slightly upon hearing this and then looked at Su Yun: "Su Yun, what do you think?"

Su Yun calmly said: "Teacher, I think it's feasible."

"But I believe that since teacher mentioned we have ten years, you probably need these ten years to prepare."

"Am I right?"

Bibi Dong's eyes sparkled.

Su Yun was right.

Her Rakshasa God examination would probably be completed in about ten years.

As long as she became a god, establishing the Spirit Empire and unifying the continent would be a simple matter for her.

These ten years were her time for herself.

However, now seeing Tang Hao already in contact with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Bibi Dong felt that she must complete the Rakshasa God examination as soon as possible.

Not just to deal with Tang Hao, but more so because of that old thing, Qian Daoliu...

He must have a backup plan.

"You're right, continue," Bibi Dong signaled Su Yun to go on.

Su Yun continued: "Since teacher openly mentioned we have ten years, then I think we can start invading the two empires right from this moment."

Hu Liena was stunned, immediately saying: "Little Su Yun, you're not thinking of moving against the two empires now, are you?"

"Although these two empires have been corrupt for hundreds of years, a centipede dies but never falls down. If we move against them now, won't it be too easy to startle the snake?"

Su Yun smiled upon hearing this: "Nana, you're thinking too superficially."

"Let me ask you a question, why do many spirit masters willingly register or even join our Spirit Hall?"

"Uh..."

Hu Liena was stunned by Su Yun's question, thinking for a while before saying: "Of course, it's because our Spirit Hall worships the Rakshasa God, and we also help many commoners awaken their spirits for free."

Su Yun nodded: "Right, the latter half is correct, the former half might as well not have been said."

Hu Liena, hearing Su Yun directly refute the Rakshasa God, changed her expression drastically, wanting to cover Su Yun's mouth: "Little Su Yun, don't speak nonsense."

Refuting the Rakshasa God in the Pope Hall, especially in front of the Pope.

Even if the Pope is our teacher, you can't be so bold, can you?

Hu Liena cautiously cast her gaze to Bibi Dong, seated high above, fearing the teacher would be angry because of Su Yun's words.

However, when Hu Liena saw her teacher's calm expression, she was also somewhat surprised.

Huh?

Why isn't the teacher angry?

Could it be he doesn't believe in...

Hu Liena's face changed again, quickly throwing out the random thoughts in her mind.

As the Pope of the Spirit Hall, how could he possibly not believe in the Rakshasa God?

"Nana, you don't need to stop your junior brother, let him continue," Bibi Dong spoke softly.

The unexpected gentleness in that voice made Hu Liena pause.

The teacher really isn't angry?

Hu Liena subconsciously released her hand from Su Yun's mouth.

Su Yun smiled upon seeing this.

Bibi Dong is undergoing the Rakshasa God examination, how could she possibly believe in the Rakshasa God?

Even if she publicly worships, she must despise it in her heart.

Moreover, in Su Yun's view, the gods of the Douluo Continent world are merely a synonym for a type of power.

In short, break through a hundred in spirit power, obtain a god position, and then one can be called a god.

Regarding whether these gods do godly deeds, that's another question.

It's like someone with the title of a dual god, who, since becoming a god, has hardly done anything noteworthy.

Poor his daughter...

"Nana, let me give you an example, and you will understand what I was saying."

"Suppose, besides the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, our Spirit Hall also established a Spirit Empire."

"Now, with three countries standing on the continent, where do you think the majority of commoners, who make up the largest population ratio, would go?"

Hu Liena blurted out: "Of course, I would go to whichever empire treats me well."

"Exactly."

"For the commoners, the empire that offers them more benefits is where they will choose to settle down and build their lives."

Su Yun said: "What has been the impression of our Spirit Hall among the commoners over these hundreds of years?"

"Free spirit awakening assistance, forcing the two empires to subsidize spirit masters, and even allowing commoners to rise through the ranks within the Spirit Hall as long as they have the strength."

"Do you think the two empires, which uphold nobility and suck the blood of commoners dry, can do such a thing?"

Su Yun spoke eloquently: "Without our Spirit Hall's pressure, they wouldn't want to give a penny to the commoners."

"The nobles are accustomed to staying within their comfort zones."

"They control all resources and cut off the commoners' paths to advancement."

"You can see in many small towns within the empires, most people have to bow and scrape even to the servants of noble families."

Hu Liena fell silent.

The reason was simple.

Because she knew Su Yun was right.

She had seen some of the nobility of the two empires, who were, to many commoners, even more terrifying than soul beasts.

Some commoners might work for a noble their entire lives, only to end up owing a large debt to that noble.

It was truly miserable.

And many nobles, even if they do nothing, receive subsidies from the empire.

Those subsidies are basically exchanged with the hard-earned money taken from the commoners.

"So, I think that to invade the two empires, we need more than just strong power."

"More importantly, we need to let the people voluntarily join the Spirit Empire."

"Let them know that here, they won't be oppressed by nobles, and they can live well just by working."

"Enact strict laws as a constraint for everyone's bottom line."

"..."

"If we do these, even if we don't use a single soldier or spirit master, the Spirit Empire can devour the two empires completely."

"Of course."

"Personal strength is also not unimportant."

"A spirit master powerful enough to break through can execute a decapitation strategy."

"Just like the Grand Worship of the Worship Hall, with his strength, if he wishes, he can forcibly kill the emperor of the empires under the interception of all Title Douluos!"

"An empire without its emperor is like scattered sand."

"Without a core, even if the empire has many soldiers, they are merely at the mercy of our Spirit Hall's forces."

After Su Yun finished speaking, Hu Liena standing beside him had already widened her eyes.

She hadn't expected her junior brother to have already thought about this aspect so thoroughly.

Even Bibi Dong, sitting on the throne, after hearing Su Yun's words.

Although she appeared calm on the surface, her heart was already stirring.

Her original plan was to quickly expand through military force, taking over the territories of the two empires.

After all, with the strength of the Spirit Hall, nearly all soul masters in the world were under her control.

Even if a small portion of soul masters were unwilling to join the Spirit Empire, a little threat would surely make them join.

But after hearing Su Yun's plan, her original plan wavered.

Using force could indeed quickly establish a new Spirit Empire, but quickly crushing the two empires would be very difficult.

Because for the commoners of the two empires, the appearance of the Spirit Empire represents the invasion of their country.

The attitude towards invaders is self-evident.

How many could truly join?

Perhaps these commoners, who are oppressed by nobles on regular days, could suddenly become soldiers and join the ranks against them.

"Su Yun, I really didn't expect you to think further than I did," Bibi Dong finally spoke.

"This time, I thought too simply."

As the Pope, Bibi Dong considered herself competent.

But to become the founding empress of an empire, Bibi Dong suddenly realized she hadn't thought as thoroughly as her junior disciple.

Su Yun smiled lightly: "It's all thanks to the teacher's good teaching."

Flattery gets you everywhere.

You can't just accept all the praise from your leader...

Hearing Su Yun's words, Bibi Dong immediately smiled, saying: "You little guy, everything about you is good, except you like to flatter."

"Exactly, exactly."

Hu Liena nodded in agreement: "Teacher is not an outsider, do you need to flatter him?"

Despite this, Hu Liena could see.

Su Yun's flattery was useful.

At least the teacher seemed very pleased.

Su Yun spread his hands helplessly.

"Alright, Su Yun, since you've proposed this strategy, let's proceed with it as you suggested," Bibi Dong had already made up her mind.

"Thank you for your trust, teacher," Su Yun bowed.

Su Yun always believed what the ancestors said was right: The best strategy is to attack the enemy's plans, next is to attack their alliances, and lastly, to attack their army.

In the original story, Bibi Dong once gathered a large army to fight on two fronts, even forcibly pressuring other spirit masters.

This method, even if it eventually defeats the two empires, the domination of the Spirit Empire would definitely not last long.

Only by winning over the majority, making them sincerely belong, then even if the Spirit Empire is not yet established.

Its sparks have already been burning in various places of the two empires, just waiting to gather and become a blazing fire.

"Come with me later to meet those guys and explain your plan to them in detail."

Bibi Dong referred to those guys as the people within the Spirit Hall who are responsible for dealing with external organizations.

Only by making them thoroughly understand Su Yun's planning can this matter be better communicated to the commoners in various small towns within the two empires.

Bibi Dong had already heard the importance of two things from Su Yun's strategy.

One is personal strength.

If she can become the Asura God sooner, she can become the strongest on the continent and directly decapitate the emperors of the two empires!

Two is the importance of the commoners.

As long as her Spirit Empire can absorb enough commoners, even if she doesn't deploy troops, the two empires will fall over time.

After all, no noble is willing to do the work that only commoners are willing to do.
