Douluo's self has a soul beast clone

After Li Chang'an and the eleven other deities ascended to the God Realm, leaving behind countless legends for later generations, the wheels of history continued to advance steadily on the Douluo Continent.

For the first one or two hundred years, the Douluo Empire was socially stable, and the remaining prestige of the gods was still present. Therefore, those hidden demons and monsters did not dare to act recklessly. Even if they had great ambitions, they could only be law-abiding citizens.

However, after five or six hundred years, when almost all of those who lived in the same era as the gods, or who had witnessed their glory, had died, the later generations who only heard the legends of the gods gradually became bolder and began to challenge some of the rules established by the gods.

Fortunately, Li Chang'an had left a rich legacy for the Douluo Empire. The Spirit Hall, as a religious force dedicated to the Great Elemental God King, began to be responsible for suppressing rebels and maintaining continental stability!

As the Pope chosen by the gods and bestowed with a divinely granted spirit, each generation of Popes lived for up to a thousand years, thus having enough strength and knowledge to maintain continental stability!

In this era when gods did not appear, the Spirit Hall Pope alone was enough to overwhelm all dissent!

Of course, besides the Pope, the Spirit Hall itself was also full of strong individuals. After all, almost everyone considered it an honor to join the Spirit Hall, but not everyone was qualified. Talent and character were both indispensable!

With the talent of the entire Douluo Continent being sent to them, it was conceivable that the number and quality of the strong individuals within the Spirit Hall were absolutely the best on the continent! No one could match them!

Therefore, with such a powerful force pressing down on them, countless ambitious individuals were crushed to death as soon as they emerged, and they had no chance to wreak havoc on the continent.

For the first millennium, everything was peaceful on the Douluo Continent.

For the second millennium, everything remained the same on the Douluo Continent.

For the third millennium, the Douluo Continent was prosperous and flourishing.

For the fourth millennium... everything was still fine.

But all of this ushered in a major change at the end of the sixth millennium!

In that year, a continent floated from the western sea of the Douluo Continent and collided with the Douluo Continent, merging the two into one. While greatly increasing the land area, it also changed the unified pattern of the Douluo Continent that had been maintained for 6,000 years!

This continent, which floated from the west, was called Sun Moon. The continent was vast and rich in resources, but slightly smaller than the Douluo Continent. There was also only one country on it, which was the Sun Moon Empire.

After the two continents collided, there was no doubt that war immediately broke out.

After all, two tigers cannot share a mountain. Both were unified countries, and having been the boss for so long, they naturally could not tolerate a country that could compete with them!

Therefore, a war inevitably began!

Both continents had their own advantages and disadvantages.

On the Douluo Continent, spirit masters were supreme, and everyone took pride in becoming a spirit master. Titled Douluos were everywhere. Strong individuals were as common as clouds!

The Sun Moon Continent focused on developing soul tool technology, so the spirit and spirit master levels were generally weaker than those of the Douluo Continent. Although their soul tool technology was good, using soul tools required soul power... so it was destined that ordinary soldiers could not enjoy the convenience of soul tools, and they were no different from ordinary soldiers on the Douluo side on the battlefield.

And those spirit masters who could use soul tools were simply no match for Douluo spirit masters in terms of hard power. Therefore, even without the top figures such as the Spirit Hall Pope taking action, the Douluo Empire's huge population base alone defeated the Sun Moon Empire's army.

In just three years, after realizing the absolute difference in strength between the two sides, in order to avoid the fate of national subjugation, the Sun Moon Empire could only announce its surrender!

Thus, the two merged continents were unified under the name Douluo, the name of the Sun Moon Continent ceased to exist, and even the Sun Moon Empire was demoted to the Sun Moon Kingdom, subservient to the Douluo Empire!

However, although the Sun Moon Empire was defeated and even submitted a memorial of surrender, it was not completely invaded. After all, it was such a large country with so many people and a long history. Even if it were conquered, how could it be easily absorbed and integrated?

Therefore, after defeating the Sun Moon Empire, the Douluo side did not choose to exterminate the Sun Moon Empire, but chose to subdue it, requiring them to pay tribute every year and be vassals every year, and issued a series of policies, intending to formally incorporate the country into its territory little by little over a long period of time.

The idea was good, but the actual operation was full of difficulties. Because the Douluo Empire itself was not at peace. As an ancient empire that had lasted for 6,000 years, it was impossible to guarantee that every imperial successor was a wise ruler, so the empire's system was constantly changing over the years, and loopholes inevitably appeared, giving some people opportunities to take advantage of.

Therefore, some ambitious individuals took advantage of the Sun Moon Continent's collision to stir up trouble and establish themselves as kings!

If it weren't for the Douluo Empire's ancestors having accumulated too much wealth, and the existence of the Spirit Hall, which had almost gathered more than half of the spirit masters and top experts in the world, it would have probably fallen apart and become a mere shell.

But fortunately, the Douluo Empire had ruled for more than 6,000 years, and its legitimacy was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, these kingdoms that had established themselves in the chaos did not dare to declare their secession from the empire, and were still nominally under the jurisdiction of the empire, allowing the Douluo Empire to maintain its nominal unified status.

Today, within the Douluo Empire, there are four kingdoms that are nominally under its jurisdiction but are actually independent. The first is the Sun Moon Kingdom, which was downgraded from the original Sun Moon Empire. The remaining three kingdoms are the Star Luo Kingdom, the Heaven Soul Kingdom, and the Dou Ling Kingdom.

The Heaven Soul Kingdom and the Dou Ling Kingdom will not be mentioned for the time being.

The Star Luo Kingdom, as the name suggests, is composed of the remnants of the royal family and nobles of the Star Luo Empire that was destroyed in the past. In those days, the Douluo Empire only executed the direct line of the Star Luo Empire's royal family and major members. Some collateral members were not completely eradicated, but were retained. And in order to show benevolence, they were also named the White Tiger Duke.

After all, if all the rulers of a country were killed, the entire country would fall into chaos, which would not be conducive to rule. It would be better to subdue a group and suppress a group. It would be more convenient to let their own people manage their own people.

The descendants of these nobles of the Star Luo Empire have never forgotten the glory of their ancestors and have always had rebellious intentions, but they have not had the opportunity. But the arrival of the Sun Moon Empire gave them the opportunity to stir up trouble.

So these Star Luo descendants took advantage of the chaos to establish an independent kingdom, and it seems that in order to avoid suspicion, or simply because their strength was too weak, the royal family of the Star Luo Empire was not headed by the White Tiger Dai family, but by the Star Crown Xu family, the original nobles of the Star Luo Empire!

The White Tiger Dai family is still just the White Tiger Duke and has not established itself as king. Otherwise, the Douluo Empire would probably not tolerate this kingdom. After all, if the Dai family were to become king, it would inevitably make people think that Star Luo had the idea of overthrowing the Douluo Empire's rule. Due to historical reasons, it is estimated that the first to be dealt with would be Star Luo.
