Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler

--- Chapter 371 ---

The war between the Bright Spirit Empire and the Sun and Moon Empire has finally ended. And the victor is obviously the Bright Spirit Empire, as they trampled people from the future with absolute force.

Of course, some almost died on Bright Spirit Empire's side, which immediately recovered with the help of the Elven Queen.

As long as their souls weren't "directly." damaged, the Elven Queen could recover their bodies with her draconic enhanced nature power. And even some biology researchers inside the Bright Spirit Labs could do the same but will spend more time.

They have a literal god on their side, so mortal injuries are nothing.

Meanwhile, the Sun and Moon Empire crumbled faster than everyone expected. Without Su Mucheng and Liu Kang, the people inside the researchers' base were like a group of fish out of water.

Even the supposedly ruler, the Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire, is a pushover. It was overwhelming, but Bibi Dong took Yunlong's words to her mind and only killed the emperor while sparring with the people of this empire.

Bibi Dong could have wiped them up, but the source of Douluo Dalu's God's strength is still faith. She knew these people deserved a second chance under the Bright Spirit Empire.

Some nobles(including royalty) immediately surrendered and got their ranks demoted to mere commoners. If they want to gain their former position, they should have gained contributions to pay off war crimes against the people all over the Douluo Planet.

They aren't innocent, after all.

But they at least have the consciousness to repent.

Of course, some crimes are far from forgiven, and those people are "quickly." gifted with the death penalty before every Sun and Moon Empire's civilians.

These criminals are hated from the beginning, anyway.

Meanwhile, some nobles refused to surrender and received the same privileges as the criminals. The Bright Spirit Empire doesn't need these people, who still cling to the idea of the Sun and Moon Empire being good and believe everything horrible so far is normal.

To put it shortly, the Sun and Moon Empire has been purged and merged with the Bright Spirit Empire by Bibi Dong's absolute dominance. Fighting back is meaningless as their enemy is the Goddess of Love.

...

...

A month has passed.

The new people from the Sun and Moon Empire start adapting to Bright Spirit Empire's protocols, building a new home for themselves on the massive island near Douluo Continent.

The observer of this island is the one and only Yaoyorozu Momo. She was the one who asked Yunlong to spare these people, so it was her job to reform them.

Even though Yaoyorozu Momo is no longer naive like her past self, who idealized the Hero of Justice, she can make a proper judgment now.

One thing is for sure, Momo's mind is leaning toward the good of Bright Spirit Empire.

"Fuwa..." Yaoyorozu Momo sat in her office and leaned on the director's seat. She let out a sigh because her responsibility is much higher than before.

For an eighteen year old girl, something like this is out of their reach.

Well, she wasn't your typical eighteen years old girl.

Knock! Knock!

"Go in," Momo answered calmly.

As the door opened, a blonde-haired girl Momo had known for three years walked inside.

"Melissa! You come to visit?" Momo said with a smile. She was excited because being in the office was much more boring than expected.

Melissa smiled back and replied, "Yeah. I've decided to come by and check your condition."

"Knowing you, this place should have run just fine."

While almost every researcher in the Bright Spirit Empire is a bright-minded individual selected by Yunlong, Yaoyorozu Momo is known for being the wisest.

They talked for a few minutes to catch up on each other because Momo hadn't communicated much with others from the Bright Spirit Labs in the past month.

She did call her parents on the phone sometimes, but they were also busy managing business in the Bright Spirit Empire. Her parents are known as the most influential merchants as they served Yunlong to spread technology across the Douluo Continent.

Douluo Continent alone is massive, which means it would take years to modernize.

Sipping ginger ale Momo served, Melissa stared at the young lady before her and asked coyly, "So... Are you going to confess your feelings to Yunlong?"

Spurts!

Momo choked on her ginger ale and replied in panic, "W-What are you talking about, Melissa! M-Me, confess..."

A blush crept onto Momo's beautiful face, which caused Melissa to giggle in amusement.

Melissa shook her head gently and commented, "There is nothing you should be afraid of."

"The Empress has fancied your contribution and talent in the last three years. She wouldn't meddle with your confession."

"B-But Yunlong..." Momo fumbled with her fingers.

"Don't worry." Melissa pulled Momo's cheeks. "Yunlong is a person who won't reject a sincere confession. And no way he hates such a cute girl like you, Momo!"

"Trust me. Even Senior Liu Erlong waited years, and Yunlong has taken her already."

"O-Okay! I'll try." Momo clenched her hand, showing a brave yet adorable expression.

"Yup, he won't reject you."

Meanwhile, the person in Momo and Melissa's conversation is "slowly." awakened from his meditation.

A weak smile appeared on Yunlong's handsome face because he could hear and notice what his subordinate thought about him. Thanks to the Primordial Lord of Hunger and Gluttony, Beelzebub.

"My harem is getting bigger." Yunlong laughed helplessly.

"Isn't that a good thing?" A melodious voice entered Yunlong's ears.

Yunlong turned around and saw Bibi Dong meditating as well. They are floating inside one of the thousand worlds held by his Thousand World Handkerchief.

It was an empty universe with nothing inside, just cosmic dust created by his immortal qi, awaiting further evolution.

Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong have occupied one of this world, transforming it based on their divinity.

One universe filled with the brilliant divine light of Angel God, having countless golden stars and even angel-like creatures because of it. These creatures worshiped Qian Renxue as their creator and regarded Yunlong as the universal will.

Bibi Dong's world is not much different either, to be fair. Even though she indirectly birthed several creatures based on her Divinity of Love, they fed her with faith energy in return.

Of course, Yunlong received faith energy as well. It was a 6:4 rate between Yunlong and his assigned world's lords.

"How was it?" Bibi Dong asked while grabbing his shoulders.

Yunlong smirked and replied, "I have found some candidates for other World Lords for my Thousand Worlds, excluding special people like Kaguya, Gu Yuena, and my lovely maids."

"They should be able to reach godhood soon."

Bibi Dong nodded and said in defeat, "I'm surprised your plain-looking handkerchief could grow into Extreme Godly Tool."

"I was afraid such a martial soul would affect your growth, but felt reassured when seeing you awakened Triplets Martial Souls."

"The first mark is when you showed me the transformation of your handkerchief into a lance."

"Do you still remember that moment?" She leaned on his shoulder.

Yunlong chuckled and replied, "Yeah."

"I was young at that time."

"Bibi Dong, should we hold the wedding soon?"

Such a question would make any ladies' hearts flutter, but Bibi Dong surprisingly swayed her head.

"No, not right now." She replied calmly. "I know you want to make me happy. Make us happy."

"However, there is no need to rush."

"And we haven't unsealed the Divine Realm."

"Not to mention the lingering doom came from the Outer Gods. After reaching a god realm, I realized there is more danger out there."

"I thought so." Yunlong agreed with her. The current Douluo Planet couldn't defend against the army of Outer Gods.

He has fought Tang Ming and Spirit Mimics. They are annoying fellows that couldn't get defeated by a mere 2nd Class or even 1st Class Gods.

The answer is clear. Yunlong needs more Godkings on his side.

"I promise a grand wedding in the future." Yunlong kissed Bibi Dong's lips passionately.

Bibi Dong kissed him back and returned with a giggle, "Let's do our best for our peaceful and happy days."

"Though, you might want to visit someone soon."

"I have had enough of your pampering, hehe~!"

Yunlong tilted his head and asked, "Who?"

His head is somewhat blurry.

Bibi Dong sighed and answered, "Bo Saixi."

"Ah..."
