Chapter 1027 The Heavenly Soul Emperor's Helplessness

Heavenly Soul Palace, Heavenly Battle Hall.

Even though it has been divided into two countries, the people of both empires believe that they are the true successors of the Heavenly Struggle.

This is especially evident within the imperial palace.

After the Heavenly Soul Royal Family re-established the empire, they considered themselves the legitimate descendants of the Heavenly Dou lineage, so the palaces, pavilions, and halls in the imperial palace retained their original names.

The Heavenly Soul Emperor looked down at the ministers from several factions arguing in the court below, and smiled as he tried to smooth things over, using the analogy of Tai Chi to shift the pressure.

What you say makes sense, but given the current situation, I feel it's not quite appropriate to associate with the Left Chancellor.

That minister's quotations were quite reasonable, but the Right Chancellor's words were also valid.

Hmm, the Left Prime Minister makes a good point, but I'll have to hold a small meeting later to discuss it.

The Right Chancellor's idea is good. I will write a detailed memorial later and consider it carefully.

Skillfully making excuses, always holding meetings and discussions.

All the ministers understood that this was just an excuse from the Heavenly Soul Emperor, but they were helpless because an even more important adversary was eyeing them covetously.

After the Heavenly Soul Emperor finished his court session, his smiling expression became even more radiant upon seeing his beloved daughter.

"My darling, how are you feeling today?"

"Vina greets Father Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

Princess Vina bowed and then laughed.

The Heavenly Soul Emperor was somewhat helpless; this girl's flattery skills had improved again.

Emperor Tianhun found the flattery from his ministers tedious and annoying.

But this is my precious little darling! My little darling!

Come! Praise Father Emperor! Say a few more words!

"Alright, Father, you'll really get soft-hearted if you hear it too much!" Princess Vina walked forward with a smile and took her father's arm.

"My darling, you've been so slow lately. Did you come here today specifically to see your father?" Emperor Tianhun knew his eldest daughter's personality best.

If nothing else is going on, he only sees his sweetheart during dinner in the evening.

"Hehe, Father, I've come to ask, the research institute's resources are running low recently, so we need to speed up the next supply replenishment."

The Heavenly Soul Emperor nodded helplessly, indicating that he understood.

After getting the answer she wanted, Princess Vina happily slipped away.

She didn't seem bothered at all, as if recent events hadn't affected her much.

Or perhaps, she simply doesn't need to worry about those things.

There are some things you might know the answer to in advance.

"My little darling is perfect, and incredibly clever, hahaha!"

The smile on the face of the Heavenly Soul Emperor was a genuine emotion, his eyebrows and eyes crinkling with laughter.

"That kid Long Aotian is such a dimwit, doesn't he know Vina's got a good head on her shoulders? Seriously!"

The guards around him stared straight ahead, their eyes devoid of any emotion.

They may know a lot, but they only have one master.

The outcome of the struggle for the throne among the princes was predetermined from the very beginning.

The Heavenly Soul Emperor smiled as he watched Princess Vina's retreating figure until she disappeared from his sight before continuing his journey.

Qiankun Hall is one of the main offices of the Heavenly Soul Emperor.

As he sat down, the messenger who had gone out to the palace returned.

"Your Majesty, the Vice Sect Master of the Tang Clan has already accepted the reward."

The Heavenly Soul Emperor waved his hand. "I understand."

"Also, you met the vice sect leader of the Tang Clan today. What do you think of him?"

The imperial envoy pondered for a moment before replying, "His essence, energy, and spirit are extremely abundant; his breath is long and doesn't leak out; his body constantly emits a faint jade-like light; his physical body has reached its peak, even surpassing its full potential. Even I almost lost control of myself when my gaze fell upon him!"

"Your Majesty, this child is a monster!"

The Heavenly Soul Emperor nodded with a smile. "Ye Nanxiao is already a member of the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy. I suspect that the Sea God Pavilion might be planning to have Ye Nanxiao take over after Taotie Douluo steps down. So, it's necessary for Xiao Vina to build a good relationship with him."

"Master Mo, you must trust your disciple's judgment!"

The imperial envoy smiled, wiped his face, revealing an aged face covered in wrinkles, but with bright, piercing eyes.

"What surprises me most is this boy's spiritual cultivation! I can't even see through him! His martial soul is clearly that of a fox beast!"

"Is that so? Even Elder Mo couldn't sense the level of this boy's spiritual power. It seems my decision was truly wise!"

The Heavenly Soul Emperor put down the imperial brush he was using to review the memorials.

Master Mo is Vina's master. His martial soul is Illusionary Dream Shadow, a spiritual beast that excels at concealing itself. Its true form is a black shadow hidden in a hazy cloud of smoke.

No one knows the true nature of the Phantom Shadow.

At the same time, Elder Mo was also one of Emperor Tianhun's close guards. He was an elder in the palace and an important force in guarding the palace.

Old Master Mo sighed softly, "Your Majesty, are you really going to place the bet on the Tang Clan?"

"Elder Mo, the Tang Sect is no pushover. Not only does it have Shrek Academy behind it, but it also has a future elder of the Sea God Pavilion. This time, I will definitely make a move that will determine the fate of the world!"

"Even if the price is that I myself am drawn into this game!"

The overall situation in the world.

Mo Lao was well aware of how dangerous the Heavenly Soul Emperor's plan was.

Upon learning that the Sun Moon Empire was mobilizing its army in preparation for war, Emperor Tianhun quickly and secretly summoned a group of trusted confidants to discuss how the Tianhun Empire should respond.

However, as Mo Lao and others continued to calculate the outcome of the war, without exception, the Heavenly Soul Empire suffered a crushing defeat.

Because the Sun Moon Empire's soul tool technology far surpasses that of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

After learning the results of multiple simulations, Emperor Tianhun slumped into his chair, knowing that the Tianhun Empire could not directly confront the blade of the Sun Moon Empire.

They couldn't even employ flanking maneuvers.

Ultimately, the technology is too outdated.

As for Soul Masters, there aren't many Title Douluos who are worth mentioning. In fact, the strongest combat force is only Du Busi, a level 98 Super Douluo who has one foot in the Limit Realm.

However, the Sun Moon Empire possesses countless soul-guided cannonballs.

The Heavenly Soul Emperor remembered that the Tang Sect had a soul tool with a sales slogan that said, "Complete coverage artillery fire can drive away all fear."

The latest novel is first published here!

He thought that this statement perfectly encapsulated the situation that the Heavenly Soul Empire was about to face.

Poison Undying is very strong, able to challenge the Dragon God Douluo, the strongest in the continent in the past, but can he withstand the overwhelming artillery fire of the Sun Moon Empire?

A precise strike from just three level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells would be enough to severely injure a titled Douluo below level ninety-five.

Not to mention the profound foundation of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Despite generations of effort and countless resources spent by the Heavenly Soul Empire, and the deployment of numerous spies within the Sun Moon Empire's territory, they were still unable to ascertain the Sun Moon Empire's true strength, the exact number of its Level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, or even to estimate the exact number.

Emperor Tianhun knew very well that the Tianhun Empire had to find allies; otherwise, given the might of the Japanese Empire's guns and cannons, the Tianhun army wouldn't be able to hold out for long.

Even the most elite armies will be torn apart by the protective hand of the Sun and Moon Empire.

So, he thought of the Star Luo Empire.

Like the Heavenly Soul Empire, the Star Luo Empire is geographically positioned to directly face the blade of the Sun Moon Empire.

However, the Star Luo Empire had already completed its reforms last year.

The level of soul tools has advanced by leaps and bounds and has been applied to the military. The White Tiger Legion of the Star Luo Empire's Grand General, Duke White Tiger, is armed to the teeth and has transformed from a traditional soul master army into a soul tool army.

It is not only equipped with a large number of soul-guided firearms, soul-guided cannons, and soul-guided protective shields, but also directly uses large-scale soul-guided devices.

He, Emperor Tianhun, Viges, was very envious of the interception towers produced by Juxingtang to defend against rays, but unfortunately the Xingluo Empire had no intention of selling them.

He also learned that the interception tower was developed by Ye Nanxiao, the deputy sect leader of the Tang Clan, who spent some time at the Juxing Hall.

So he immediately sent someone to contact the Tang Sect to purchase soul tools, but he encountered obstruction from a group of ministers.

He starts spouting nonsense about how the fundamental principles of our ancestors cannot be changed, and how Soul Masters cannot be invaded by Soul Guidance Devices, and so on.

He spent a great deal of money and used all his persuasive skills to buy a soul tool worth 30 million gold soul coins from the Tang Sect. He then placed it on Princess Vina's entourage and secretly equipped his personal guards with the new equipment.

However, this only applies to his personal guards; the million-strong army of the Heavenly Soul Empire is not yet armed.

Even if he used his own private treasury instead of the national treasury, he could only arm an army of several hundred thousand people.

Therefore, the Heavenly Soul Empire has no chance of winning against the Sun Moon Empire.

The old aristocratic families wielded considerable power in the court, so Viges chose to take a shortcut.

Burn the boats and set the course; face death to save yourself.

He used every means at his disposal to pave the way for the new Heavenly Soul Emperor.

He wanted to sweep away all the pedantry in the court and eradicate the power of the aristocratic families.

So he decided to use external forces.

He knew what the Tang Sect wanted to gain from the Heavenly Soul Empire.

He prepared a grand gift, but it came with some relatively minor tests.

"Elder Mo, whenever you have time, go visit the Tang Clan branch. There are plenty of interesting and novel things there," Emperor Tianhun said with a smile.

Old Master Mo shook his head slightly. "No, I'm not good at socializing. Leave it to Vina; she's much smarter."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

One person laughed heartily, while the other had a look of helplessness in his eyes.

This do-or-die path is destined to be accompanied by enormous risks.

If it fails, not only will the Heavenly Soul Emperor perish, but the Heavenly Soul Empire will also be left with a shattered legacy.

"Brother Long, don't panic when things happen. Stay calm. Trust your fiancée. You should know that Princess Vina, with her Brain Martial Soul, is far smarter than you think!"

"Perhaps Princess Vina will unlock unprecedented records in human history, like brainpower development, full activation of intelligence, or even a connection between the mind and the universe!"

Ye Nanxiao happily hung the signboard himself in the reception room of the Tang Clan branch.

Long Aotian blushed slightly, opened his mouth, but had nothing to say.

So he asked, "How do you plan to retaliate against those aristocratic families?"
