Douluo: Become the Pope of Destiny in the Unrivaled World

Chapter 207: The Head of the Sun Moon Empire's National Spirit Instructor
"Mom, I understand!"

Xu Tianran understood what Ye Xishui meant. Only by controlling the army could he be the true emperor of the Sun Moon Empire!
"One more thing. After you seize power in the military, remember not to attack these former high-ranking generals and high-ranking soul masters."

"This is the most crucial point. Once you gain power, you will start killing your own people. This is not a good thing."

"In the final analysis, if you forcibly seize control of the army like this, it will make the army very uneasy, and the power they can exert will be limited."

The army and soul guide corps of the Sun-Moon Empire are the foundation of the Sun-Moon Empire.

There are also those ninth-level soul masters who can play a huge role on the battlefield.

"I know that these ninth-level soul masters all have their own ideas. Most of them don't care who the emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire is. They only care about their own research funds and the proportion of rare metal minerals they can obtain. Therefore, loyalty has never existed from the beginning."

"This is your chance, and it's something you should seize the most. You should understand what I mean."

Xu Tianran nodded. As the crown prince and regent of the Sun Moon Empire, he understood many things better than Ye Xishui.

The soul guide actually doesn’t care too much about who the emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire is, nor does he care much about the situation on the continent.

What they care more about is their own research, so they are willing to stand by whoever can give them better conditions.

A ninth-level soul engineer can easily change the direction and situation of a war on the battlefield.

In addition, the Sun-Moon Empire itself is weak in terms of soul masters, and there are very few people who can normally cultivate to the level of Titled Douluo.

Compared to the use of martial spirits, the emergence of soul guides is more suitable for the Sun-Moon Empire.

"I understand. I will find a way to recruit all the ninth-level soul masters who are currently staying in the palace to work for me."

"No, they don't have to serve you. It's best if they can be your people. Even if they can't be your people, it doesn't matter. What's important is that they are from the Sun-Moon Empire."

"...I understand." Xu Tianran didn't expect that there would be such a way to deal with it.

Even if the other party is not one of his own, as long as he is from the Sun-Moon Empire, he must obey the orders of the Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire.

Why hadn't he thought of this approach before?
Xu Tianran felt that his vision was too narrow before and he didn't notice such a simple point.

Yes, he will no longer be the crown prince soon!
He will be the future emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire, so is there anything wrong with commanding the army and ninth-level soul mentors belonging to the Sun-Moon Empire?

Xu Tianran understood that he had been bound by the position of crown prince for too long. What the crown prince needed to do was to manage the government and get more ministers and officials in the court to support him.

But the emperor doesn't need that! The emperor just needs to give orders!

As long as an order is given, there is no reason for the subjects not to obey.

"Well, there is one more thing to note. No matter whether they are soul mentors or military generals, even if they are unwilling to become your subordinates in the end, you must treat these generals well and give them some benefits. If necessary, you can give them some territories to drive them out of the center of power."

"Don't worry about the gains and losses of a city or a piece of land. If you really sit in that position, the whole world is yours. You don't have to worry about a few pieces of territory at all."

"Besides, even if you own the whole world, you can't manage every corner of it. It's a good deal to trade some places for military power and stability." "Gradually take away the military power from them, change them from generals to civilian staff, and transfer them to cities to serve as city lords."

"Remember, even if others know that you are trying to seize their military power, you cannot have the intention to kill them."

"After all, humans are selfish creatures. They have their own selfish desires, and since they have selfish desires, they can target others."

"As long as you have the chips that suit the other person's wishes, nothing in this world will be difficult."

It was rare for Ye Xishui to say a few words to Xu Tianran. Perhaps it was because she was too old, and Xu Tianran called her mother.

Although she knew that the other party was insincere, Ye Xishui understood that she really needed a spiritual sustenance.

It’s not that she has no sons. To be precise, she has two sons, but now... one son’s whereabouts and whether he is still alive are unknown, and Ye Xishui doesn’t know how to treat the other son. After all, this son’s situation is a little special.

"I understand. Is there anything else you want to tell me, mother?"

After hearing Ye Xishui's suggestions, Xu Tianran wanted to try them immediately. If successful, he would be able to take over all the military forces in Mingdu.

"There is one last thing, something that we in the Holy Spirit Church cannot help you with. You need to go and visit the priests in the Sun Moon Empire's Temple of Priests."

"That person's strength is not weak. Although he is not an Ultimate Douluo, from the perspective of a soul master, that person is indeed the most powerful soul master on the continent today."

"From the perspective of soul masters, he is equivalent to us, the Ultimate Douluo. His reputation and influence on soul masters are very great."

"If you can get his help, you don't have to worry about the soul guide."

"But... the only thing you need to note is that the Worship Hall will always be the Worship Hall of the Sun-Moon Empire, and it will always only obey the Emperor's Worship Hall."

Kong Deming even felt a bit of a headache for Ye Xishui, because she was also a soul engineer, and a ninth-level soul engineer at that!

On the path of soul engineer, she is the closest to becoming a tenth-level soul engineer.

But... Kong Deming, the master of the Sun-Moon Empire's Worship Hall, has reached the end of the road of soul guides and has become a tenth-level soul guide.

Although she had never witnessed the power of those level 10 soul guides, as the mother of Crown Prince Xu Tianran, Ye Xishui had great power in the Sun Moon Empire over the years.

She has seen almost all the ninth-level soul guides, and even has the blueprints of many ninth-level soul guides, which Ye Xishui also possesses.

Ye Xishui has seen quite a few level nine soul guides made by Kong Deming. No matter what level of soul guide it is, as long as it is made by Kong Deming, it is indeed a little special.

Even though she was a level 99 Ultimate Douluo and wanted to kill Kong Deming, Ye Xishui didn't dare to say that she was 100% sure.

How terrifying the power of a tenth-level soul guide is, this question may be known only by Kong Deming.
