Chapter 562: A Bright Future
"Why is Douluo Continent called Douluo Continent?"

"Nonsense! What else can we call it if not Douluo Continent? Don't you think about why Titled Douluo is called Titled Douluo?"

"Uh...I didn't mean that..."

"What are you going to say?"

"Right! Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush!"

"Okay~~"

On the third floor of a restaurant in the east of Lingyun City, Er Yuexuan leaned against the window sill, looking at the busy streets below. He said with an inexplicable and leisurely expression, "Look, the [Tiandou Empire] and [Xingluo Empire] have been confronting each other from north to south for hundreds of years, right?"

"Over the past few hundred years, there have been no less than a thousand wars of varying sizes between the two empires. If we include those minor local conflicts, the number would probably be in the tens of thousands."

"With such frequent conflicts, many people die every year in both the two empires and the various kingdoms and principalities involved."

"Snapped--!"

There was a crisp sound, and Er Yuexuan looked at Liu Hao who had retracted his hand with some dissatisfaction: "What are you doing?"

Liu Hao rubbed the back of his hand that was slapped. When he was about to say something, Nixing, who was sitting next to him, spoke first: "Second brother, it's not that the brothers don't give you face, it's just that what you said just now was too inappropriate!"

"That's right!" Liu Hao continued, "You got the wrong script, didn't you? This attitude of caring about the world and worrying about the country and the people is not your character setting—"

As soon as the two finished speaking, Shang Wenqing, Qing Yu'an, Li Yang, Mo Yuxiong and others at the same table nodded in unison: "That's right!"

"Get lost!" Er Yuexuan rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "You are looking at me through tinted glasses!"

"I can also care about the world, right? How does the saying go? Worry about the world before you worry about yourself, and then... uh... well, anyway, every citizen has a share of responsibility for the fate of a country... um, that's it..."

"Enough!" Liu Hao raised his hand and fanned him with a look of disdain: "I told you to stop reading those ancient books. If you don't have enough experience, reading those books will only make you have wild thoughts~"

"Second brother," Mo Yuxiong stretched out his hand and brushed across the two fruit plates on the table. He picked up two fruits, one red and one blue, with three fingers and threw them into his mouth. He chewed them casually twice and swallowed them. He smacked his lips and said, "You'd better get to the point quickly. The brothers are all busy recently... burp!"

"I say~" Er Yuexuan covered his mouth and nose, and said in a muffled voice: "Can you not eat the "Red Flame Fruit" and the "Ice Crystal Fruit" at the same time?"

"I know you have good teeth and an even better appetite, but is it really okay to eat fruits with opposite properties?"

"That's nothing~" Mo Yuxiong grabbed two more fruits and threw them into his mouth, saying nonchalantly, "My digestive system has been upgraded again. Just wait, it won't be long before I can learn the Liang Yi Fist or even the first level of Ling Yun Jiu Tian Tu!"

"By then, I might be able to break through to Dan Jin before Nixing!"

"Okay, stop talking about me, you should get to the point as soon as possible~"

Seeing the arrogance revealed between Mo Yuxiong's eyebrows, Er Yuexuan curled his lips in annoyance, but he couldn't do anything about it. His voice became a little lower: "I was wondering, when can this Douluo Continent be renamed~"

"Hmm?"
Everyone was stunned by Er Yuexuan's words. Liu Hao once again reached out his hand to Er Yuexuan's forehead. This time he touched it and subconsciously said, "It's not hot—"

"Snapped--!"

The familiar crisp sound appeared again. Er Yuexuan slapped Liu Hao's hand away and said seriously, "I don't have a fever. I'm serious."

"Didn't I go back to my hometown some time ago? Along the way, I found that the name of the city lord was being praised everywhere in the northern part of the [Tiandou Empire]."

"At that time, I was thinking, with the current reputation of the city lord, why should the beautiful land of the [Tiandou Empire] be owned by a mediocre person like Xue Ye who is jealous of talented people?"

"That's right~" Li Yang nodded subconsciously and agreed: "No one is qualified to sit in that position except the city lord!"

"Isn't it~" Er Yuexuan smiled when he got approval: "I think if Xue Ye knows a little bit, he should consciously give up his seat, so that he won't be embarrassed and we have to help him save face."

"And Xingluo is also..."

"Dong dong!"

Just as Er Yuexuan was about to continue, Mo Yuxiong raised his hand and knocked on the table in front of him twice, interrupting him and saying, "Second Brother, if you want to change the name of Douluo Continent, you can't just remove the word 'Dou' in [Tian Dou Empire] and the word 'Luo' in [Xing Luo Empire]."

"According to your idea, [Lingyun City] will replace the two empires [Tiandou Empire] and [Xingluo Empire], and at most the 'Xingdou Great Forest' will be renamed. After all, it is named 'Xingdou' because it borders the two empires at the same time."

"Changing the name of the continent, even if our Lingyun City replaces Wuhun Hall, it's still not enough."

"When martial arts completely replace martial spirits, or martial spirits are no longer the mainstream, and Titled Douluo is no longer synonymous with the strongest, then Douluo Continent will have hope of getting a new name."

Mo Yuxiong's voice was not loud and steady, but his words caused Shang Wenqing, Nixing and others present to fall into silence.

"okay!"

Glancing at Er Yuexuan who looked thoughtful, Mo Yuxiong spoke again, saying in a deep voice: "Just think of what we said just now as idle chatter among brothers after drinking. Don't talk too much outside. You should know how many eyes and ears we have in Lingyun City~"

Everyone: "..."

……

Half an hour later, in a small courtyard of a residential building in the north of the city.

"How was it? Was it successful?"

Looking at Er Yuexuan who walked in drunk, Fei Bai asked expectantly.

Compared to Fei Bai, Jiu Gao was much calmer. Noticing Er Yuexuan's face flushed with alcohol and a bit of unwillingness, he had some guesses in his mind: "It seems like a failure?"

"Failed?" Fei Bai was surprised and blurted out: "It doesn't make sense? Don't they want to go further?"

Er Yuexuan walked into the main room, sat down at the square table, poured himself a cup of herbal tea, drank half of it in one breath, then sighed and said in a deep voice: "Of course they want to improve!"

"Then what...?" Fei Bai was a little confused by Er Yuexuan's words.

"Don't be anxious~" Jiugao pulled his old classmate and gestured, "Listen to brother Eryuexuan." "Oh~" Feibai opened his mouth, but considering that Jiugao was smarter than him, he closed his mouth obediently.

Fei Bai, martial soul "One-horned Sky Soul Horse", level 78 strong attack system battle soul saint, [Tian Dou Empire] Tianma Marquis, commander-in-chief of the Royal Knights.

Jiu Gao, martial soul "Heavenly Wolf Howling Wind Bow", level 79 strong attack system combat soul saint, [Tiandou Empire] Sirius Duke, the Empire's Minister of Armaments.

These two important figures of the [Tiandou Empire] appeared in this small residential area of ​​​​"Lingyun City" at this time, in order to board the [Lingyun City] aircraft carrier in advance, so as to avoid being buried in the sea with the [Tiandou Empire]'s old and leaky sailing ship in the future.

With their identities and status, they can see more clearly the decline of the [Tiandou Empire] and the prosperity of [Lingyun City] than Emperor Xue Ye, the lord of the [Tiandou Empire]!

Especially Jiugao, the Minister of Armaments of the [Tiandou Empire]. He refused to contact Ling Yi in his early years. However, as he got to know the [Tiandou Empire] more and more deeply, he sadly discovered, because of the comparison with [Lingyun City], that even if [Lingyun City] did nothing, the [Tiandou Empire] would eventually collapse on its own and become a part of [Lingyun City].

This is the gap between the two systems, the gap in dominant ideology, and the gap between the two leaders!

In Jiugao's eyes, the current Emperor Xue Ye is like an ostrich with his head buried in the sand. He stubbornly fantasizes about the day when the eldest princess Xue Qianxun becomes a Titled Douluo. That will be the moment when he clears out all the disobedient parties in the [Tiandou Empire] and restores the dignity of the royal Xue family.

However, Jiu Gao, who was watching coldly, knew very well that with the eldest princess Xue Qianxun's dependence on Ling Yi, if Xue Ye dared to let Xue Qianxun draw the sword against Ling Yi, the sword in Xue Qianxun's hand would probably pierce Xue Ye's throat in the next second.

Of course, with Lingyun City's current strength and background, unless Xue Ye is crazy, he will never show hostility towards Ling Yi. That would be purely asking for trouble, or even humiliating himself!

The current Ling Yi is no longer the weak boy who walked out of the [Shuimu Principality].

No matter how much resentment Xue Ye had towards Ling Yi, he had to hold it in. On the contrary, he had to greet Ling Yi with a smile and choose his words carefully when speaking so as not to upset Ling Yi.

Thinking of this, Jiu Gao couldn't help but secretly regret that when Fei Bai wanted to drag him to meet Ling Yi, he directly rejected Fei Bai in order to avoid suspicion and not wanting to be influenced by Ling Yi's charm.

Back then, he was secretly complacent, thinking that he was a sober person, unlike Fei Bai, a fool, who was easily conquered by the charm of others.

Now, times have changed, Jiu Gao discovered sadly that he has missed the best opportunity to get to know Ling Yi and board the big ship [Lingyun City].

It's not that he can't join. On the contrary, with his status as Grand Duke Jiugao, strength, wealth, and influence in the [Tiandou Empire], once he chooses to join, he can certainly get a management position in the 'Three Departments and Six Ministries' of [Lingyun City].

However, for Jiu Gao, whose family has stood at the top of the power of the [Tian Dou Empire] for hundreds of years, a mere management position is obviously not what he wants.

pity……

At this moment, Er Yuexuan raised his head and drank the remaining herbal tea in the cup in his hand, wiped the corner of his mouth, and said unwillingly: "Except for Li Yang who is easier to fool, Nixing always stays out of it, and everyone else has their own little thoughts."

"Especially that guy Mo Yuxiong!" Er Yuexuan gritted his teeth secretly: "He has a bear-like head and a pair of poisonous eyes!"

Next, Er Yuexuan told about his previous experience in the restaurant.

After listening to Er Yuexuan's narration, Fei Bai was still thinking hard, but Jiu Gao suddenly sneered and said, "It seems that this 'King Bai Ling' has guessed our plan and doesn't want us to board the ship in advance~"

Fei Bai gradually understood what was going on and asked, "You mean, Mo Yuxiong... doesn't want Lingyun City to replace the Tiandou Empire, but just doesn't want us to get involved?"

"Is it necessary to do this?" Fei Bai was puzzled. "If they could replace Tiandou one day earlier, Lingyun City would become stronger. As a part of this city, they would also benefit a lot. How could they...?"

"It's very simple~" Jiu Gao shook his head and said calmly: "In the process of replacing the [Tiandou Empire], if we help, [Lingyun City] will reward us in the end."

"However, although the pig of the [Tiandou Empire] is fat, there is only so much meat. If we eat one more bite, they will naturally have to eat one less bite."

"Everyone wants to eat meat, and no one wants to end up just gnawing on bones!"

"Anyway, with Lingyun City's development speed and foundation, it will sooner or later completely swallow up the Tiandou Empire. One day earlier or later will have almost no impact on us old people."

"Moreover, this method of boiling a frog in warm water will keep the damage to both Lingyun City and Tiandou Empire at an extremely low level."

"Tsk tsk tsk, Master Ling, so terrifying!"

When Jiu Gao thought that under Ling Yi's control, the giant ship [Lingyun City] would quietly swallow up the entire Douluo Continent in a whale-like manner without causing too much resistance, he felt a sense of powerlessness from the bottom of his heart.

No solution!

The rise of [Lingyun City] is unstoppable. Similarly, the rise of [Lingyun City] is as natural as the scorching sun!
……

At about the same time, at the top of Qingyun Mountain, at the City Lord's Mansion.

"Brother Yi, everyone down there is a little impatient lately~"

Liu Erlong ground the ink with her bare hands, looked at Ling Yi who was splashing ink, and spoke softly.

Based on Liu Erlong's understanding of Ling Yi, dividing one's mind into two parts is just a normal operation and will not affect the calligraphy and painting that Ling Yi is writing.

As Liu Erlong thought, Ling Yi's wolf-hair brush did not pause at all, but responded to her: "It's normal. Although we did not publicize the news of Senior Gu Rong's breakthrough, we did not block it either."

"Today, we know everything we should know, and we probably also know what we shouldn't know."

"Our Lingyun City already has an influence comparable to that of the Spirit Hall. After years of training, our grassroots combat power has surpassed and far exceeded the number of spirit masters in the entire continent."

"Senior Qisha, Senior Chenxin, Senior Gurong, three Titled Douluo, plus Senior Dugu, as well as Shirley and Ah Yin, are superior to 99% of the forces on the continent in terms of top-level combat power. With the mid-level combat power that has grown, they are naturally no longer satisfied with just staying in this corner of 'Lingyun City'."

"Lingyun City is such a small place. As more and more people come, it will eventually be unable to meet everyone's expectations."

"In the process of biological survival and growth, outward expansion is inevitable."

"The same is true for the development of a power. Once it is unable to expand outward, as the number of internal members increases, the available resources will become fewer and fewer, and internal disputes will arise."

"If you don't want to see a situation where brothers fight against each other, asking for help from outsiders may not be the best solution, but it is definitely the most convenient solution."

"Okay--" Ling Yi put down the brush in his hand and looked down at the words he had just written.

[The great roc rises with the wind one day, soaring up to ninety thousand miles.]
