Star Luo Continent.
Su Ming finally set foot on this land again.
Because of Su Ming's reminder, the Star Luo Empire had proactively participated in the war against the Abyss. Qilin Douluo Tong Yu had made great contributions on the front line. Even without Su Ming's support, this had significantly reduced the hostility from various factions in the Federation towards the Star Luo Empire.
Not primarily because they felt the Star Luo Empire had contributed to Douluo Star, but mostly due to strength.
Tong Yu had shown himself to be very strong.
Even initially, without Su Ming's technology for devouring Abyssal energy, Tong Yu's configuration of all hundred-thousand-year Spirit Rings was unique across Douluo Star.
When he had first breached, he was only a quasi-demigod, at best able to burst with full force – relying on the powerful Spirit Skills from his all hundred-thousand-year Spirit Rings, his strong domains, and a set of Four-Word Battle Armor promised by Su Ming – to temporarily exert demigod power.
As he fought on the front line over the years, his accumulation had grown increasingly strong. Originally, his natural talent ceiling was extremely high.
Unshackled by the blockade of luck, Tong Yu, after sufficient accumulation, had already reached the quasi-divine realm.
And the existence of such a quasi-divine powerhouse was itself a huge deterrence, like a so-called nuclear bomb. Its very existence could influence many people's perspectives.
It was precisely out of respect for Tong Yu's strength that the various Federation factions no longer advocated for occupying the Star Luo Continent.
Of course, Tong Yu was only one factor.
Holding multiple high positions, Su Ming understood that the root cause of the Federation's previous desire to go to war with the Star Luo and Heaven Dou Continents was resources.
Under the Abyss's devouring over six thousand years, Douluo Star had been living beyond its means, its resources growing increasingly scarce.
Some in the Federation felt that space exploration was needed to find more resources. But the resources of the Douluo Continent alone might not be sufficient. Adding the pressure of standing the Abyss, and their displeasure at sharing their technology with Star Luo and Heaven Dou, led to the pro-war faction.
Even having their technology skimmed a bit made some people uncomfortable.
Not only had the Star Luo Empire's reputation with the Federation improved significantly, but its cooperation with the Federation had also grown closer. Starting with Su Ming's return voyage to the continent, a giant ship had set sail from Star Luo Continent to the Federation every six months.
Afterwards, the interval shortened to three months. Until now, the Star Luo Empire was even considering further compressing it to one trip per month.
Under such frequent exchanges, various industries on the Star Luo Continent were also booming.
As the Star Luo Continent developed and the Star Luo Empire grew stronger, its luck expanded. En Ci, who had bound his own fate to the empire's luck, naturally advanced further, truly stepping into the quasi-divine level.
Of course, he had not publicized this, so the Federation remained unaware.
However, upon arriving in the Star Luo Empire and seeing him, Su Ming immediately sensed the difference.
Although after Limit Douluo, Spirit Power no longer increases, so-called improvement is only in terms of insight, this very improvement is inseparable from the world. The deeper the interaction with the world's power, the higher one's own realm.
"Congratulations, Imperial Advisor," Su Ming said.
En Ci cupped his hands and humbly said, "I owe my present achievements to Tower Master Su's help. Without your care on the Federation side, the Star Luo Continent's development wouldn't have been so smooth."
En Ci was sincerely grateful.
"May I ask why Tower Master has come this time?"
En Ci was also puzzled. Su Ming was clearly overseeing the Abyssal battlefield. Why had he chosen to come to Star Luo Continent now?
Moreover, he hadn't taken a giant ship. He had directly teleported across the vast distance from the Douluo Continent to the Star Luo Continent.
Such ability also made En Ci's heart tremble.
To cross an endless ocean from one continent to another with a single thought – this was indistinguishable from a deity.
Recalling the intelligence from the front line, En Ci couldn't help but shiver inwardly.
This person was growing increasingly unfathomable.
He could support the Star Luo Empire's development. To destroy it or suppress it would be but a thought away.
Thinking this, En Ci grew more and more cautious, not daring to displease Su Ming.
The truth was, they were no longer on the same level. Even as a newly broken quasi-divine, En Ci wouldn't dare think of standing on equal footing with Su Ming.
"Is Dragon Valley still in the Tang Sect's hands?" Su Ming asked.
Hearing this, En Ci's heart stirred.
Dragon Valley – and he even asked about its ownership.
Could it mean that Su Ming wanted theTang Sect to hand over Dragon Valley?
After all, Su Ming held leadership positions in multiple superpowers of the Federation: Tower Master of the Spirit Transmission Pagoda, Pavilion Master of Shrek's Sea God Pavilion, Hall Master of the War God Hall. Only the Tang Sect Sect Master position he did not hold.
But with his current pressure, did he have time to travel to Star Luo Continent just for the belonging of a small Dragon Valley?
In the Federation, a single word to the Tang Sect Sect Master would suffice.
"Tower Master, ever since your last visit, the space in Dragon Valley has remained chaotic, showing no signs of opening. The Tang Sect has tried many methods but failed to calm the spatial turbulence. However, the area remains under Tang Sect control."
"The Star Luo Imperial Family will take over. I'll have the Spirit Transmission Pagoda branches provide you with some technical support."
"Thank you, Tower Master," En Ci said delightedly.
Dragon Valley was a holy land for dragon-type Spirit Masters.
En Ci himself possessed the Holy Light Dragon Martial Soul, so he greatly valued Dragon Valley.
"Tower Master, the spatial fluctuations in Dragon Valley haven't shown any signs of calming over the years..."
Su Ming waved his hand.
"I will take care of it myself."
Spatial turbulence?
A minor matter.
As for Dragon Valley's rule restricting Spirit Power levels, it had long been negligible to Su Ming.
Having truly entered the realm of realm, Su Ming was no longer the reckless fighter who would constantly use the Supreme Shockwave Fist.
The Star Luo Imperial Family and the Spirit Transmission Pagoda branch communicated with the Tang Sect's responsible person, quickly taking over the mountain peak where Douluo Star's space overlapped with Dragon Valley.
The Tang Sect's responsible person was originally Su Ming's grand-uncle, the Smiling Douluo. He was no longer on Star Luo Continent but on the Abyssal battlefield, where he had advanced to level ninety-nine by devouring Abyssal energy.
Smiling Douluo Hu Jie – twin Body Martial Souls, unprecedented.
Belly and buttocks.
These two locations, in themselves, weren't considered top-tier Body Martial Souls.
However, relying on the dual advantages of twin Martial Souls and Body Martial Souls, Hu Jie had forcibly fused the two together, fusing their Martial Soul True Bodies, nearly equivalent to an acquired Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
His second awakening had advanced to the Gold level. He possessed peak level ninety-eight Spirit Power cultivation!
Under the conditions Su Ming had created, he had further breakthrough, achieving the Limit level!
With his golden belly and silver buttocks, he quickly gained a firm foothold even among Limit Douluos.
Even without Hu Jie, the senior Body Sect member, the local Tang Sect branch had been replaced by a Super Douluo of pure Tang Sect lineage. The handover procedures for Dragon Valley were completed quickly.
Such was Su Ming's influence now.
He rarely used it.
But once he spoke, the entire Douluo Star would change for him.
