Chapter 488 Gu Yue: The Dragon God's position might lower IQ; Dai Mubai: Fatty, I can't go back anymore.
Gu Yue didn't even dare to tell the Soul Beast Clan the truth about the nonsensical wisdom of the Dragon God.
Are we to tell them that all the suffering they have endured over the past hundreds of thousands of years was due to the Dragon God's mere whim of power?
This devastating blow from the long-standing collapse of spiritual beliefs is perhaps the most fatal for the already weakened soul beast race.
The more she thought about these things, the more intense her suppressed anger became, and she couldn't help but stomp her foot hard.
"This damned Dragon God position is worse than letting Gu Yuena and Huo Yuhao's future children inherit it. I'm even afraid that this so-called divine position might still be tainted by the Dragon God's stupid wisdom, which would lower my IQ."
Thinking of the child, Gu Yue looked towards the distant Douluo Continent and pondered.
"If a new Dragon God isn't born, then soul beasts will never be able to break free from the shackles of the tribulation and become gods through normal means. Should I then try to urge Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena to have a child soon?"
The Star Luo Empire, the Star Luo Imperial Palace.
As Ma Hongjun slowly descended from the sky, he looked at the grand palace complex, which exuded an ancient and imposing atmosphere, and nodded with slight satisfaction.
Although he wasn't the kind of person who was stubbornly nostalgic, he was, in any case, a remnant of that old era.
Compared to the high-rise buildings filled with soul tools on the Douluo Continent today, these antique-style buildings are more in line with his aesthetic preferences.
In addition, since everyone here is a descendant of Dai Mubai, he was not as cold towards them as he had been towards the Shrek Academy students.
Instead, he slightly restrained his aura and spoke calmly to the white-haired old man who had suddenly appeared before him, looking wary: "Judging from your cultivation level, you should be the strongest person in the Star Luo Empire right now."
My identity needs no further explanation; I'm sure you know it. There's no need for any grand welcoming ceremony; just take me directly to meet your current Star Luo Emperor.
As he spoke, an invisible pressure unique to deities was slightly released towards the other party.
As the guardian of the Star Luo War God Temple in the present day, Enci is naturally familiar with the unique aura of the gods because he frequently enters and exits the Divine Trial Grounds.
Even a fool could tell that Ma Hongjun's sudden appearance was definitely aimed at seeing Dai Mubai at the Temple of War.
The problem now is that since Huo Yuhao caused a huge scene in the Star Luo War God Temple and gave Dai Mubai a good beating, the Star Luo War God Temple has changed drastically.
The man in front of him, Ma Hongjun, seemed to have an unreliable and irresponsible demeanor. How could he dare to take him there so easily?
Suddenly, cold sweat broke out involuntarily from behind Enci's back, and his aged voice quickly took on a cautious, deceptive tone.
"So it's our ancestor who has graced us with his presence! This old man is truly sorry for not welcoming you properly—"
"Alright, alright, enough with the platitudes. My time is always precious, I don't have time for this nonsense. After exchanging a few words with your current emperor, I need to go see Boss Dai as soon as possible."
Ma Hongjun waved his hand to interrupt Enci, and swaggered towards the depths of the palace.
"Hey, Ancestor, you've gone the wrong way! That's where the inner palace is. His Majesty isn't there right now; he's still in the Imperial Study handling official business."
Enci's expression changed drastically, and she quickly stepped forward to stop him, fearing that this infamous phoenix in history books was intentionally using this as an excuse to head towards the harem and cause some trouble.
"Hahaha--"
Ma Hongjun, who was stopped, looked slightly embarrassed and chuckled a few times to cover it up.
"No wonder Boss Dai didn't really want to continue being the Star Luo Emperor back then. Look at the time, he's still working hard. He's really working very hard."
Guided by Enci, Ma Hongjun soon arrived at a secluded side hall and sat down to wait.
Not long after Enci finished arranging the tea and left, Emperor Dai Tianling of Xingluo rushed in from outside.
As soon as he entered, he bowed deeply to Ma Hongjun with utmost respect and said ingratiatingly, "Our ancestor has gone through great hardships to fly all the way from Douluo Continent. He must have been very tired along the way."
"Why don't I make the arrangements first, to host a welcoming banquet for our ancestors and help them relax? Any important matters can wait until tomorrow for a more detailed discussion."
As he spoke, Dai Tianling gave Ma Hongjun a knowing look that every man would understand.
Clearly, the welcome banquet he arranged would perfectly suit Ma Hongjun's preferences in every way.
Compared to the less than one hundred years he spent living in the realm of gods, Ma Hongjun, who has been guarding Bai Chenxiang's tomb alone for more than two thousand years, thought that he had long since become heartbroken and despondent during these long years.
But perhaps time can truly heal all past wounds. After experiencing the splendor of the outside world again, he felt a long-lost stirring of desire deep within his heart, a desire that had been suppressed for so long.
But in the end, he gritted his teeth, shook his head resolutely, and said, "I'd rather not. I've always kept myself clean and never touched such shady stuff."
"Enough with the small talk. I've come to inform you of some extremely important matters. Although the two continents are far apart, I believe you are already aware of the many recent changes that have occurred on the Douluo Continent."
Ma Hongjun paused, his expression turning serious.
"Nowadays, both Tang Sect and Shrek Academy are deeply misunderstood by the world due to various controversies, and are even being deliberately targeted and expelled by the Douluo Federation."
However, they have always maintained an inseparable connection with the Star Luo Empire. I also hope that Your Majesty can consider the past relationship and allow the Empire to accept them and provide them with a safe haven to recuperate.
This will allow them to use this as a foundation to contribute to the major plans we are about to undertake.
"Since it is the ancestor who has spoken, I will certainly make proper arrangements for them. We were also exiled to this new continent in the same way, and it was only then that we were able to rebuild our home."
As people who have been through it all, we understand this feeling even better. But we wonder, what exactly was this "important matter" our ancestors were referring to?
Dai Tianling spoke with righteous indignation, appearing completely reasonable, without revealing the slightest flaw in his words.
But deep within his heart, a tiger was already roaring.
He could tolerate the arrogant and haughty Shrek Academy students, but he also couldn't be bothered to dredge up their past history of being above the imperial power of the original Douluo Three Empires for ten thousand years.
But what about the Tang Clan?!
They were so depraved that they colluded with the Holy Spirit Cult and even committed the inhumane event of the Tiandou City bombing.
In the secret letter his own daughter sent him, she clearly described the shady dealings between the Tang Clan and the Holy Spirit Cult.
Dai Tianling simply couldn't believe that Ma Hongjun would be completely unaware of this matter.
Not to mention that Huo Yuhao's ancestor eloped to Douluo Continent with his daughter for so long, Dai Tianling had a strong intuition that the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy were now being hated by everyone and expelled by the Douluo Federation, which must have been Huo Yuhao's ancestor's doing.
But now the situation is beyond his control, and under duress, he can only force a smile and agree to the unreasonable demands of this dead turkey.
Let's deal with this first, and then we can take things slowly. Who knows, if we handle it properly, we might be able to take the opportunity to legitimately swallow up all the legacies left by the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy.
Just as Dai Tianling was trying to comfort himself and calculating the gains and losses ahead, Ma Hongjun saw that Dai Tianling was so understanding and clapped his hands and smiled: "That's absolutely right, and the important matter I mentioned is related to this."
"I need you to immediately issue the order to mobilize the entire Star Luo Empire, gather all available resources, and make full preparations for the upcoming large-scale war."
"War?" Dai Tianling's heart skipped a beat, and he panicked completely. He hurriedly said, "Ancestor, this is absolutely not allowed!"
Even though the Douluo Federation was somewhat anxious about the explosion in Tiandou City, the gap in national strength between the Star Luo Empire and the Douluo Federation was still as vast as the difference between heaven and earth.
If we were to initiate a war at this time, it would be tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock, a pointless suicide mission.
Ma Hongjun found it somewhat amusing and slowly added, "It's alright. Your primary war objective is not the Douluo Federation, but the relatively weaker Douling Empire."
With me and Boss Dai backing you up, you don't need to worry too much. Just go for it. When the time is right, we will bring you back in glory and help you reclaim the rightful throne of the Douluo Continent royal family.
With that, Ma Hongjun stood up, his tone leaving no room for argument, "This matter is settled. There is no room for discussion. From now on, you only need to instruct your subordinates to do as they say. Now, Your Majesty, please take me to see Boss Dai."
Upon hearing this, Dai Tianling's heart tightened again.
Although Enci had already told him, if Ma Hongjun really found out that his Boss Dai had become the prison boss, and that dead turkey went berserk, would the Star Luo Empire still have a chance to survive?
In the past, 99% of the mental energy generated by participants in the Divine Trial was used by Dai Mubai to help him recover his strength.
However, ever since Huo Yuhao and Dai Yun'er caused a huge scene and left, Dai Mubai has been bound by the contract and has completely lost his personal freedom, merely serving as the core existence to maintain the operation of the Divine Trial Land.
The mental power that should have belonged to him was essentially given back to the trial participants of the divine test.
Otherwise, when Monster Academy visited Douluo Continent, they wouldn't have been able to so easily overwhelm Shrek Academy and achieve a great victory.
Seeing that Dai Tianling was hesitant to move and seemed to be hiding something, Ma Hongjun frowned slightly and asked with some unease, "What's with that expression? Did something happen to Boss Dai?"
Seeing that there was no way to delay any longer, Dai Tianling did not hesitate at all. His knees buckled and he immediately prostrated himself on the ground.
His imperial composure caused his face to show timely fear, and he choked out with heart-wrenching sobs, "Please forgive us, ancestors! It is all because we, the younger generation, are too incompetent that our ancestors suffered such a great calamity."
But as the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer. What right do we mere mortals have to interfere?
Back then, the benevolent Grand Preceptor was nearly beaten to death while protecting the Ancestor. Overwhelmed with remorse for failing to protect the Ancestor, the Grand Preceptor's hair turned white overnight.
Seeing Dai Tianling, a middle-aged emperor of such high status, now completely disregarding his image and weeping so miserably on the ground, Ma Hongjun's lips twitched uncontrollably. A surge of inexplicable irritation rose in his heart, and he abruptly waved his hand to interrupt, "If it truly is a battle between gods, you indeed cannot intervene, and I understand your difficulties. But judging from your reaction just now, Elder Dai must still be alive. Why don't you take me to see him immediately?"
In fact, Ma Hongjun knew in his heart that if Dai Mubai had really died, Tang Wu would not have allowed him to set off for the Star Luo Continent in advance to finalize the next war matters with Dai Mubai.
But who exactly attacked Boss Dai? Could it be the reincarnated God of Destruction?
For a moment, a heavy shadow fell over Ma Hongjun's heart.
Under Enci's cautious guidance, it didn't take long before Ma Hongjun met Dai Mubai as he wished.
However, Dai Mubai's current miserable state really gave Ma Hongjun a big fright.
How could the once wicked and charming Boss Dai, who was a heartbreaker for young girls, and the spirited and wicked White Tiger, have become so haggard and unkempt?
He looked as if he had just been roughly handled by a group of burly men; his once bright and piercing eyes were now empty and dull.
At this moment, Dai Mubai, who was forced to become the registrar of the Divine Trial Land due to the contract, raised his head blankly after noticing someone's arrival, and was momentarily stunned.
Once he realized that he wasn't seeing things and that the person in front of him was indeed Ma Hongjun, he instantly broke down and tried to run away.
But he was completely unable to move, and could only desperately cover his face with his hands, letting out an extremely miserable lament: "Fatty, don't look at me—don't look at me like this, I—I can never go back—"
"Brother Dai, what's wrong with you!" Ma Hongjun called out with deep sorrow.
But as soon as he said those words, he felt something was off.
Why did he feel that the scene before him was familiar? It was just like the tragic scenes he used to see when he frequented brothels.
Those beautiful wives were forcibly abducted by the bullies and sold to brothels, where they endured all sorts of torment in the dark.
When her husband finally found her, she had already transformed into someone else's form, and she could never return to that wonderful life she once had.
Thinking of this, Ma Hongjun felt a deep chill and couldn't help but shudder.
