Douluo Dalu: Start with a Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgement

Chapter 480 Conspiracy
If the Sun-Moon Empire chooses to attack the south first, it will most likely face a siege from the Xingluo Empire, the Tianhun Empire, the Douling Empire, and the Shrek Academy, which would be a decisive battle.

If the Star Luo Empire had not attacked the Sun Moon Empire's homeland, perhaps the Sun Moon Empire would still have planned for a decisive battle. With the support of the Holy Spirit Church, several major soul guide groups, and two extreme Douluos, they would still have some confidence.

However, the Sun-Moon Empire's homeland was attacked, which threatened the foundation of the Sun-Moon Empire, forcing them to send troops to rescue. In this situation, the front line was somewhat stretched.

If they continue to invade from the north, they can at least avoid the forces of the Xingluo Empire and Shrek Academy. The reinforcements from the Douling Empire and the remnants of the Tianhun Empire can only delay their invasion at most.

For the Sun-Moon Empire, it is obviously more advantageous to attack from the north to the south now. The choice is self-evident.

At the same time, the Sun-Moon Empire also needed to slow down. Although the Sky Soul Empire was not as large as the Xing Luo Empire, its land area was still larger than that of the Dou Ling Empire. Compared with the Sun-Moon Empire, its area was close to two-thirds of the Sun-Moon Empire. After suddenly occupying a large area of ​​the Sky Soul Empire, the Sun-Moon Empire also needed time to appease the civilians and consolidate its rule. This was why the Sun-Moon Empire seemed to have stalled in the past month.

As the saying goes, it is easy to conquer a country but difficult to keep it. A war of aggression cannot be accomplished overnight because it is not pure plunder but an expansion of the territory.

According to the intelligence from the spies left behind by Nan Shuishui before she left Longcheng, the Sun-Moon Empire did not destroy Longcheng, nor did it attack civilians. It did not harm anyone and did not bring the suffering of war to ordinary civilians. It only drove away several major soul master sects in Longcheng. Those who were unwilling to leave would end up like the Tianlong Sect, while those who were willing to leave would not be specially intercepted by the Sun-Moon Empire, such as the Dilong Sect.

After driving away the soul masters, the Sun-Moon Empire only left a small number of troops to maintain order, and then the main army headed straight south.

Not only did the Sun-Moon Empire not harm the civilians in the conquered cities, it also showed leniency to the nobles of the Sky Soul Empire. Instead, it sent the Sun-Moon Chamber of Commerce, which came with the army from the Sun-Moon Empire, to distribute civilian soul guides for free in the cities, especially to the nobles.

For a snowy city like Longcheng, the Sun-Moon Empire sent a soul-guided thermal energy device, an advanced soul-guided device that can replace coal. Coal is expensive, and the soul-guided thermal energy device can save a lot of expensive coal. It only needs to find a soul guide from the Sun-Moon Empire to inject soul power once a week, and it can meet the heating needs of an aristocratic family with an area of ​​no more than 500 square meters. It doesn't even have the smell of burning coal, and it has replaced coal in a short period of time.

Ji Lin smiled and said, "There are still capable people in the Sun-Moon Empire. This is an open conspiracy! In the short term, the Sun-Moon Empire has lost money and resources, but in the long run, once the nobles and civilians of the Sky Soul Empire adapt to life with advanced soul guides, they will no longer be willing to go back to the past and live that backward and simple life. Once they accept the soul guides given by the Sun-Moon Empire and get used to their existence, it won't take a few years for the Sun-Moon Empire to win over the civilians and nobles. At least they will behave themselves and not think about causing trouble."

The Sun-Moon Empire fully utilized the advantages of its advanced civilian technology. People are like this. Once they have used something better, they will not go back to using the backward things. The same goes for civilians. If they can live better under the rule of the Sun-Moon Empire, they will no longer think of the Sky Soul Empire. For ordinary people, staying alive is their lifelong pursuit. As for who rules them, it doesn't matter, as long as they can have enough to eat.

As for the nobles, although they will reject the Sun-Moon Empire at first, after all, once the Sky Soul Empire is gone, they will no longer be nobles, but as long as the Sun-Moon Empire is willing to give them a little status, even if it is lower than their original status, they can accept it. The Sun-Moon Empire will not only give them the same or even higher status as before, but also a higher quality of life. Then they will not be loyal to the Sky Soul Empire.

The purpose of the Sun-Moon Empire is to win over one group and suppress another, to win over the nobles and commoners and suppress the soul master sects. After all, the soul master sects have deep-rooted ideas and are much more difficult to deal with than the nobles and commoners. The nobles only want status, money, and a better life, while the commoners want even less, just survival, and their strength is not as good as that of the soul master sects, so the threat to the Sun-Moon Empire is much smaller.

This method of the Sun-Moon Empire is much better than killing. If the Sun-Moon Empire wants to unify the continent, it certainly cannot rely solely on force. This method of infiltration with soul guide technology is simply bloodless. A small number of troops are stationed to let the nobles relax their vigilance, and then soul guide technology is integrated into their lives. The most core technology is in the hands of the Sun-Moon Empire. In the long run, no matter whether it is nobles or civilians, there is only the Sun-Moon Empire in their eyes, and the Sky Soul Empire will no longer exist.

Perhaps within a few years, the hearts of the people in the areas occupied by the Sun-Moon Empire will no longer be with the Sky Soul Empire, but with the Sun-Moon Empire. The Sun-Moon Empire's tactic of defeating the enemy without fighting is the best strategy!

This coincides with Ji Lin's original idea. Ji Lin originally planned to unify the Douluo Continent and use the soul guide technology of the Sun-Moon Empire to comprehensively improve the living standards of the people on the continent, so that they would naturally forget their previous country. For the civilians, whoever can feed them is the faith in their hearts.

It should be Ju Zi who thought of this method, Ji Lin secretly sighed in his heart. With Xu Tianran's character and the style of the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Church, it was good that they didn't kill the civilians of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, or even massacred the city. The person who could think of this method of conquering the civilians of other empires without bloodshed could not be them, it was most likely Ju Zi. If the Sun-Moon Empire implemented this method in all the occupied Heavenly Soul Empires, no one would be able to stop them unless the Sun-Moon Empire was driven away in a short time.

This is a true conspiracy, open and aboveboard, and may take a long time to take effect, but it is a permanent solution! Once they succeed, it will be very difficult for the Heavenly Soul Empire to regain its territory.

Judging from the current situation of the countries on the mainland, whether it is the Sun-Moon Empire or the three kingdoms that originally belonged to Douluo Continent, the foundation of the country is actually the aristocracy. The aristocracy controls almost all the resources of the country. The largest aristocracy is the royal family of each country. This is the foundation of the imperial system.

Therefore, the target chosen by the Sun-Moon Empire was very accurate. The first people they infiltrated with soul guide technology were the nobles of the Sky Soul Empire. Once the nobles gradually sided with the Sun-Moon Empire, they would help them promote soul guide technology in the country. In the absence of core technology, the final result would be that they would be at the mercy of others and would never be able to break away.

The longer the occupation lasts, the more obvious this situation becomes.

Listening to Ji Lin's analysis, Xu Jiujiu, Wang Dong'er and others were stunned. They could never have imagined that a small action of the Sun-Moon Empire could have such a terrible effect. This was too terrifying!
Everyone could not help but admire the person who came up with this plan.

Although they were in a hostile relationship, they had never seen this method of invasion before, which did not involve large-scale killings but was simply based on technological infiltration. But they knew how friendly this method was to ordinary people.

Because ordinary people don't need to worry about being targeted, nor do they need to worry about not having enough to eat, and their lives will even be better than before. Civilians from any country cannot resist this temptation.

"What a conspiracy! It's really hard to deal with!"

Xu Jiujiu pursed his lips and said with a complicated expression.

The reason why the Sun-Moon Empire could resort to such an open conspiracy was simply because the Three Douluo Kingdoms were not up to the standard. Compared with the Sun-Moon Empire, they were too backward in both technology and thinking. In the Sun-Moon Empire itself, they had already reached the point of promoting soul guide technology to ordinary people, while the civilians in the north of the Sky Soul Empire were still using the most primitive method to keep warm, burning charcoal, and the price of charcoal was not cheap. It was a necessity that had to be bought. If you didn't buy it, you would only be frozen to death in the severe cold weather in the north.

As time goes by, even if the Sun-Moon Empire stops attacking, as long as it maintains its current situation, it won't be long before the occupied part of the Sky Soul Empire will truly submit to them. With more resources and more support from the people, the Sun-Moon Empire's soul guide technology will develop faster and faster, further widening the gap with the three countries that originally belonged to Douluo Continent.

In recent years, soul guide technology has been changing with each passing day. With continuous development, in the near future, one day soul guide technology will be able to reach a level that is enough to threaten Titled Douluo, or even Ultimate Douluo. If that happens, the unification of the continent by the Sun-Moon Empire is almost a foregone conclusion of historical progress.

You know, there has already been a tenth-level soul guide device. Although Ye Xishui's Death Tower was forged and driven by human resentful souls, it is still a tenth-level soul guide device. As long as there is a start, the subsequent development of the soul guide technology of the Sun-Moon Empire is destined to advance by leaps and bounds. No one knows whether the Sun-Moon Empire can produce a second tenth-level soul guide device in a short period of time, or even a third one, or directly research an eleventh-level soul guide device that can threaten the quasi-gods.

Ji Lin, who traveled through time, never underestimated the power of technology. As long as the technology was advanced enough, even gods could be killed. God-killing was not impossible if the group of soul engineers doing research had some time.

Ji Lin is very happy to see the development of technology, of course that will only happen after he unifies the Douluo Continent. Although he likes to have great power in himself, he will not reject powerful soul guides.
