Douluo : People are writing diaries in Douluo

Bo Saixi was left speechless by Su Ming's barrage of questions. The power of the Exploding Ring technique was evident, but none had dared to use it due to its enormous risk. Su Ming concluded with, "Of course, this is just my own theory. Only Tang Chen knows if he conducted any secret experiments."

With that, Su Ming left the Sea God Temple.

However, just to be safe, he prepared a backup plan. He approached the girls and handed each a talisman. "Keep this with you. If you're in danger, activate it."

Xiao Wu and the others looked at him with curiosity. "What's this for?"

Su Ming explained, "This talisman contains some of my power. Once you activate it, it will create a spatial vortex and pull you into the Kamui dimension."

Hearing the talisman's effects, Zhu Zhuqing and the others were thrilled. With this powerful talisman, they felt far safer.

The next morning, Su Ming set off.

While their journey to Sea God Island had taken nearly twenty days by ship, Su Ming estimated that on his own, he could reach the mainland in about two days.

Wuhun Palace.

"You're certain Su Ming will return in two days, and his trial is to heal ten thousand different soul masters or soul beasts?" Bibi Dong asked coldly.

Da Ming, standing below, replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

After pondering for a moment, Bibi Dong announced, "Very well. Once Su Ming returns, our Wuhun Empire will launch an all-out assault on the Clear Sky Clan."

Da Ming and Er Ming remained silent in agreement.

Meanwhile, in the Heaven Dou Empire.

Emperor Xue Ye lay on his bed, pale and weak, barely clinging to life.

"Still… still no sign of the Crown Prince?"

Prince Xue Xing was about to speak when someone entered the room. It was the Crown Prince himself!

Qian Renxue, having recently completed her third Angel Trial, had returned. With her newfound strength, she had completed the trials within a few months, her spirit power rising from level 84 to level 87. Conveniently, the fourth Angel Trial required her to develop her tactical skill in large-scale battles—an opportunity that had now arrived.

Of course, this didn't mean Qian Renxue planned to lead the Heaven Dou forces to victory over the Wuhun Empire. In reality, she knew that Heaven Dou and Xing Luo's armies were merely resisting with sheer numbers, delaying the inevitable.

The Angel Trial simply required her to gain strategic insight, not to ensure victory.

Putting on a show, Qian Renxue approached Emperor Xue Ye's bedside and forced a few tears. "Father, what has happened? I was away for training only briefly and return to such news…"

"Cough… My son, you've returned at last. I'm afraid my time has come. The worries of this war have drained me. But now that you are here, I pass my final command to you: from this moment on, you are Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire."

Feigning loyalty, Qian Renxue as Xue Qinghe replied, "Yes, Father. I will join forces with the Star Luo Empire and resist the Wuhun Palace."

With Xue Qinghe's solemn vow, Emperor Xue Ye closed his eyes in peace.

Qian Renxue, maintaining her disguise, thought with a wry smile: "All those words were Xue Qinghe's, not mine."

Turning to Prince Xue Xing, she ordered, "Uncle, mobilize our troops. In three days, we'll unite with Star Luo's forces and attack the Wuhun Empire. This is a battle to the death."

Prince Xue Xing hesitated, saying, "But, Your Highness, the Wuhun Empire's power is overwhelming. Even with the Star Luo Empire, we may not stand a chance, especially with their advanced soul tools. Our soldiers are mostly ordinary men…"

Qian Renxue interrupted coldly, "Uncle, I'm aware of that, but do you think the Heaven Dou Empire has any chance of negotiating with the Wuhun Empire? They seek to unify the continent and would never tolerate our empire's existence. Are you prepared to become their subordinate?"

"Of course not!" Prince Xue Xing exclaimed.

If Heaven Dou were to submit to the Wuhun Empire, the nobility, including himself, would lose their influence and privileges. Their concerns were driven by self-interest rather than loyalty to the empire.

Qian Renxue continued, "And, Uncle, let me remind you: Su Ming and others are currently undergoing godly trials on Sea God Island, and Bibi Dong is doing the same. If we don't attack now, they'll become gods, and we'll have no chance of survival."

"Moreover, even our combined forces may not be enough. We need to reach out to the Clear Sky Clan in Star Luo and have them join us in this fight."

Upon hearing this, Prince Xue Xing's eyes brightened. Yes, if the powerful Clear Sky Clan joined them, along with their massive armies, they might have a chance against the Wuhun Empire!

But he seemed to forget that the Clear Sky Clan had secluded themselves precisely because of the Wuhun Empire.

"But would the Clear Sky Clan agree to join us?" he asked, voicing his doubt.

Suddenly, Qian Renxue remembered someone in Heaven Dou who might reach them: Tang Yuehua from Moon Pavilion. However, she wasn't really planning to unite the forces to defeat the Wuhun Empire but rather to lure them all into a trap.

Even if the Clear Sky Clan brought multiple Titled Douluo, it would mean little. Their strongest, Tang Xiao, at most reached level 97, no match for her Grandfather Golden Crocodile.

And Su Ming would return in two days. This would be the perfect chance to end the war.

She planned to spare those willing to surrender and execute those who resisted, using the chaos as an opportunity to stage her own "death" and continue her Angel Trials in secrecy.

There was no need to worry about the Heaven Dou Empire's future without her. The royal family members capable of assuming power were gone. Once the fighting concluded, the imperial family could be abolished, and the cities absorbed into the Wuhun Empire. The Star Luo Empire, she thought, would be more complicated because of Zhu Zhuyun's presence, so she'd leave that to Su Ming.

Whether to dismantle the Star Luo Empire entirely, keep the Dai and Zhu families, or turn Star Luo into a vassal state would be Su Ming's decision.

After all, Star Luo's governance was effective and stable, though changes would be needed to replace its nobility-based system with a meritocratic one.
