Swallowing the Starry Sky: Rebirth of the Thunder Dragon Emperor, Many Children and Many Blessings

As the news spread, the atmosphere within the Sun-Moon Empire became extremely heavy.

Xu Tianran's subordinates, those advisers and generals who were once loyal to him, have now lost their fighting spirit and are demoralized.

In every corner of the empire, soldiers whispered to each other, discussing the uncertainty of the future.

Many of them began to doubt whether it was really wise to follow Xu Tianran to fight against Shrek Academy and Lei Dong.

The power displayed by Lei Dong was so amazing that even the bravest warriors began to feel fear.

In the hall, Xu Tianran's advisers sat together, but their discussion became lifeless.

Where once they counselled for the good of the empire, now their words were filled with hesitation and uncertainty.

"Your Highness, although our army is powerful, do we really have a chance against an opponent like Lei Dong?"

There was an obvious tremor in the voice of one of the counselors.

Another general shook his head in frustration.

"Our soldiers have begun to lose confidence. If we ourselves do not believe that we can win, then we have already lost the war."

Xu Tianran sat on the throne, listening to their conversation, his heart filled with a sense of powerlessness.

He knew that if a solution was not found soon, the entire empire would fall into chaos.

"We have to find a way, a way to counter the thunder."

There was a hint of despair in Xu Tianran's voice.

However, his advisers and generals could only remain silent.

Facing an existence like Lei Dong, any conventional tactics and strategies seem pale and powerless.

At Shrek Academy, Lei Dong knew everything about the internal situation of the Sun Moon Empire.

Xu Tianran's power has begun to waver, and this is the opportunity he has been waiting for.

"Lord Lei Dong, the morale of the Sun Moon Empire has been low. Should we take this opportunity to take action?"

Moon asked, his eyes flickering with determination.

Lei shook his head, with a hint of depth in his eyes.

"No, it's not time yet. We need to resolve the problem, not just win a battle."

Moon nodded. He understood what Lei Dong meant.

"So, what should we do next?"

Lei Dong stood up, his eyes penetrated the window and looked into the distance.

"We need to formulate a plan, a plan that can completely change the situation in Douluo Continent."

In the Sun and Moon Empire, Xu Tianran sat alone in the hall, his heart filled with anxiety.

He knew that he had to act quickly, otherwise the entire empire would be in irreversible crisis.

"Come here, pass on my order. Gather all loyal generals and counselors. We must discuss countermeasures immediately."

There was a hint of determination in his voice, even though his heart was still filled with anxiety.

Xu Tianran sat in the empty hall, waiting for the arrival of loyal generals and advisers.

Time passed minute by minute, and the hall was still empty, with only his shadow elongated by the candlelight.

He began to feel a sense of foreboding, and the anxiety in his heart gradually turned into uneasiness.

"Somebody come!"

Xu Tianran's voice echoed in the hall, but no one responded.

He called out again, his voice trembling, "Someone! Why is no one answering?"

Still, there is only silence.

Xu Tianran stood up, his hands tightly gripping the armrests of the throne, his knuckles turning pale from the force.

He began to pace in the hall, feeling increasingly uneasy.

"Could it be..."

Xu Tianran's voice was low, and he didn't dare to think any further. He began to realize that he might have really been deserted by everyone.

He once thought that he could control everyone with his power and means, but now he found out that he was wrong.

Xu Tianran walked out of the hall and came to the courtyard outside.

It was late at night and the stars were dim, as if even the sky was laughing at his helplessness.

He looked around and found that the soldiers who were supposed to be guarding here were nowhere to be seen.

"How can this be?"

Xu Tianran murmured to himself, his heart filled with shock and disbelief.

He began to look around, hoping to find even one loyal subordinate, but the entire palace was empty, with only his footsteps echoing.

Finally, Xu Tianran stopped, his eyes became empty. He realized that he had lost everything.

Those who once surrounded him, those who once obeyed him, have now left him.

"Why is this happening?"

There was a hint of despair in Xu Tianran's voice; he couldn't accept this reality.

He used to be the ruler of the Sun-Moon Empire, but now he has become so lonely.

Xu Tianran sat dejectedly on the steps, his head buried deeply in his hands.

He began to reflect on what he had done. His former ambitions and desires now seemed so ridiculous and empty.

"Perhaps, I brought this upon myself."

There was a hint of bitterness in Xu Tianran's voice. He finally accepted the reality and the fact that he was deserted by everyone.

At Shrek Academy, Lei Dong, Moon and others learned about the situation in the Sun-Moon Empire. They knew that Xu Tianran’s rule had come to an end.

"Lord Lei Dong, it seems that Xu Tianran has lost everyone's support."

Moon said, a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

Lei shook his head, with a hint of depth in his eyes.

"This is the path he chose, and now he must bear the consequences."

Moon nodded, he knew that what Lei Dong said was true.

"So, what should we do next?"

"Not urgent!"

Lei Dong stood on the high tower of Shrek Academy, his eyes piercing through the night sky, as if he could see the turmoil in the Sun and Moon Empire in the distance.

His posture was calm, like a fisherman, patiently waiting for the fish to bite.

Lei Dong was full of curiosity about Xu Tianran's possible next move.

"Xu Tianran, what path will you choose?"

Lei Dong whispered to himself, with a hint of amusement in his voice.

Moon stood beside Lei Dong, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Lord Lei Dong, Xu Tianran has nowhere to go. Will he be desperate?"

Lei Dong smiled slightly, with wisdom gleaming in his eyes.

"When a dog is desperate, it will sometimes show its weakness. We just wait and see how he struggles."

Moon nodded. He had full confidence in Lei Dong's judgment.

"Yes, Lord Lei Dong, we will all follow your arrangements."

Lei Dong's gaze turned into the distance again. He knew that Xu Tianran must be feeling very complicated at this moment.

A ruler who was once high and mighty suddenly lost everything. This kind of gap is enough to drive anyone crazy.

"Xu Tianran, will you choose to fight back or escape?"

Lei Dong pondered in his heart. (End of this chapter)
