Chapter 139 Resignation, Shadow of the Mortal World
After a series of elaborate rituals, the delegation finally arrived in Mingdu.
The Sun and Moon Emperor summoned all his officials to a grand banquet and welcomed the delegation to the palace.
Amidst the singing and dancing of birds and the feasting of delicacies, the tension between them couldn't be contained.
"The Martial Soul Empire? I wonder how many years old it has been." Murong Nian smiled.
"Then how many more years can the Heaven Dou Empire, which has lived for thousands of years in the Douluo Continent, last? I remember that His Majesty Xue Ye only has one son left, named Xue Beng, right? Can that playboy inherit the throne?" Su Sha asked, feigning doubt.
"It's just a few minor flaws. His Majesty is in his prime and has plenty of time to correct them." Murong Nian's expression remained unchanged, still bearing a faint smile.
"In his prime?" Susa looked surprised.
Murong Nian's smile froze.
The Martial Soul Empire was all too aware of Xue Ye's physical condition.
It's hard to say whether they'll even survive five years.
"The Spirit Empire hasn't appointed a crown prince yet, has it? Is Pope Bibi Dong planning to pass the throne to Saintess Hu Liena?" Devon suddenly asked. All royal families value bloodline inheritance; those who don't follow this rule are considered enemies.
"That is indeed a problem," Susa said, feigning distress. "His Majesty's children are simply too outstanding."
Your Highness is currently undergoing the succession to the angelic throne; the position of Crown Prince is truly unworthy of Your Highness.
We're also struggling with how to arrange things.
Sitting in the main seat, Xu Hao, who had been listening with great interest to the three envoys' open and covert attacks, was now becoming restless.
"What is Mr. Su referring to?"
Susa deliberately asked, "What is it that Your Majesty asks?"
The prime minister, acting as the emperor's mouthpiece, asked, "Do gods truly exist? Is the legend of becoming a god after reaching a hundred levels true?"
Devon nodded. "It's true, of course. Our Crown Prince is undergoing the test of the Sea God's inheritance."
Thanks to the continuous efforts of the "classmates," "Approaching the World - Poseidon Island Chapter" has finally been released. This chapter explains the concept of gods, and the existence of the God of Life, the God of Angels, and the God of the Sea is no longer a secret.
For most people, God is just a distant concept that cannot enter their lives.
"General assessments and divine qualification assessments are not the same thing." Su Sha mercilessly exposed Devon's rhetoric. "My prince is the inheritor of the Angel God and will inevitably become a god in the future! The Crown Prince of Xingluo is just undergoing a talent assessment."
Devon sneered, "Even the divine qualification assessment has a chance of failure. Not even daring to reveal your name, what are your crown prince's chances of success? Besides, the successor of the Haotian Sect is also receiving the Sea God's inheritance; with your help, the probability of success is at least 7%!"
Susa responded with the same cold laugh, "Our country's crown prince is named Qian Renxue, and he and you are betrothed for life."
Both of them were subtly invoking Chi Ping's name.
Just as Devon was about to retort, the Voyager, who was teasing his grand-disciple, drew runes to silence everyone who was about to speak.
The captain does not leave his ship; when the ship stops, he hands over his identity to the voyager.
"I hereby declare that I will not interfere with the examination for divine positions. Whether they can pass the examination ultimately depends on their own talent and character."
Who would believe that!
This is the voice in everyone's heart.
But on the surface, no one would refute it.
Xu Hao swallowed hard, suddenly realizing something. The Sun Moon Empire seemed to have underestimated Chi Ping's strength.
I initially thought he was just a high-level Title Douluo and a level 9 Soul Master, but now it seems he's more than that.
"Is the master really that powerful?"
Susa cleared her throat and found that she could speak.
"Sir is recognized as the strongest person on the mainland and has inherited the title of God of Life."
"The gentleman designed and manufactured a communication network that spanned the entire Douluo Continent, allowing people in the northernmost part of the continent to contact people in the southernmost part."
"The Master made a large amount of cultivation information public to the people of the entire continent, and it was the Master who announced the matter of the gods."
The three envoys took turns giving a brief introduction to Ikehira.
God among men!
While the diplomats were still attacking each other, Xu Hao had only one thought in his mind.
Has the Empire ever offended this person? Probably not, right?
Is what they're saying true?
The emperor probably won't be able to sleep well until he finds out whether the Sun Moon Empire has offended the dead Chi Ping.
As the party ended and everyone dispersed, each person had their own thoughts.
Diplomacy is never something that can be accomplished at a banquet; the key is the exchange of interests after the banquet.
Xu Hao, Su Sha, Dai Wen, and Murong Nian will make various "reasonable" deals under the cover of night.
However, none of this concerns the captain and Mickey.
When one's strength reaches a certain level, conspiracies and tricks will spontaneously disappear.
When a person possesses the power to subdue the world, he must be a lover of peace.
"Grandmaster, where are we going?"
Although Chi Ping has tried his best to promote the development of soul guidance technology in Douluo Continent, no city on Douluo Continent can compare with the level of advancement of Mingdu.
Streetlight systems, urban sanitation systems, basic transportation systems, roadside mobility scooters...
It already has a slightly "modern" feel to it.
Although the little girl had only seen it once, it had already left a deep impression on her.
Therefore, she could easily see that the road she was on was not the way back to the hotel.
The Voyager smiled and said, "We are here to visit Mr. Ying Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall, the largest soul tool research institute in Mingdu."
"What a strange name. Is his surname Ying?"
The Voyager smiled. "Unlike us, that gentleman's surname is Hongchen."
Miki said "Oh," and asked curiously, "Is he very powerful? Grandmaster should call him 'Master'."
The Voyager patted his grand-disciple's head. "There are many kinds of 'powerful.' Stronger, smarter, better cook, better talker, better writer... Which aspect is Mickey referring to?"
Miki was troubled. "Writing, speaking, cooking—can these really be considered impressive?"
"Why not?" the voyager retorted. "Mickey, can you cook?"
Mickey nodded.
"Is your cooking good?"
Miki said shyly, "It's alright... I guess!"
"Do you think it's difficult to cook delicious food?"
"Disaster."
"Isn't someone who can accomplish such a difficult task impressive?"
"sharp!"
The Voyager smiled, his eyes narrowed. "Similarly, Mr. Ying Hongchen has profound expertise in soul tools, and could even be considered the most skilled soul tool master on the Sun Moon Continent. Don't you think we should respectfully address such a master as 'Mr.'?"
Miki seemed to understand, but still nodded in agreement.
"Moreover, Mr. Ying Hongchen is also the honorary principal of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. As a freshman who will be representing Shrek Academy and Douluo Continent upon entering the academy, shouldn't you pay him a visit?"
The two quickened their pace and soon arrived in front of a tall building.
The building has nine floors and is brightly lit.
Even late at night doesn't stop people from being busy.
"Greetings, Master Chi!"
"Greetings, Master!"
"Are you here to see the cinema manager, Master? The director is on the top floor. Would you like me to take you there?"
"Thank you, classmate. But it's alright, we can go by ourselves."
