"Is the Sun Moon Empire finally taking action to suppress these Evil Soul Masters?"
"I wonder if they can succeed..."
Hu Liena was somewhat expectant, hoping to see a good result.
However, Qian Renxue did not hold much hope for this.
Because Lin Hanjue had already stated clearly in his notebook.
There were traitors within the Sun Moon Empire who had been secretly helping these Evil Soul Master organizations evade the Empire's suppression and searches.
This operation would certainly have some effect.
But as for whether it could succeed in a single stroke and completely eradicate the Evil Soul Masters...
Qian Renxue didn't hold much expectation anyway.
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong's noble and cold face remained calm as she watched the notebook.
She didn't care in the slightest about the fate of the Sun Moon Empire described within.
She only cared about whether she could obtain benefits or valuable information from the content revealed in the notebook.
[A few months later.]
[The Sun Moon Imperial Family, having made ample preparations, dispatched tens of thousands of powerful Spirit Masters with cultivation at or above the Spirit King realm, carrying the most advanced offensive spirit tools.]
[At the same time, with the assistance of powerful Spirit Masters sent by major Sects and families, they split into hundreds of routes to simultaneously wipe out the recorded strongholds of Evil Soul Master organizations across the Sun Moon Empire.]
[This time, the Sun Moon Empire's Emperor, Yang Chongtian, also knew there were traitors within the Empire.]
[Therefore, the specific arrangements for this operation were entrusted to his most trusted people, and at the beginning, they did not specify which Evil Soul Master organizations were being targeted.]
[It wasn't until they were about to arrive at their destinations that the specific plans were suddenly revealed, launching surprise attacks on the Evil Soul Master strongholds with thunderous momentum.]
[This operation managed to uproot almost all Evil Soul Master strongholds in the heartland of the Sun Moon Empire and eliminated all Evil Soul Masters they encountered.]
[But the dozen or so largest Evil Soul Master organizations seemed to have received information in advance and fled directly to the Far North Province, where the Sun Moon Empire's control was weakest, to hide.]
[The climate here is cold year-round, making it unsuitable for ordinary people to live in.]
[In addition, the Mad Axe Mountains and the Ice God Mountains sandwich the Extreme North Plateau; such terrain is quite treacherous, and only relatively powerful Spirit Masters can traverse it as if it were level ground.]
[Relying solely on Spirit Masters makes it very difficult to conduct a large-scale search.]
[It was very simple for the Evil Soul Master organizations to hide away.]
[Therefore, regarding this action by the Sun Moon Empire, I can only evaluate it this way: tactical results were achieved, but strategically, it was basically a complete failure!]
"As expected!"
Qian Renxue shook her head at this result and sighed, not feeling surprised.
Because with traitors constantly selling out information...
Trying to wipe out numerous Evil Soul Master forces that were already difficult to eliminate—the difficulty could be called hellish!
Since the Sun Moon Empire eventually collapsed anyway.
Qian Renxue guessed there was a high probability that the Evil Soul Master forces simply couldn't be thoroughly eradicated in the end.
Years of constant conflict with Evil Soul Master forces exhausted the Sun Moon Empire's vitality and caused its finances to collapse.
And as veteran soldiers in the army continued to die...
The new army didn't have time to train and lost its combat effectiveness.
The powerhouses of the Sun Moon Imperial Family also suffered heavy casualties in the clashes with Evil Soul Masters.
After the Sun Moon Imperial Family lost its dominance...
The various Spirit Master Sects and families were short-sighted, caring only for immediate interests. They joined forces to collude with the Evil Soul Masters, massacred the Sun Moon Imperial Family, and buried the Sun Moon Empire.
Afterward, the Douluo Continent ushered in a dark era of thousands of years of rampaging Evil Soul Masters, where locales could only form cities for self-preservation under the protection of various Spirit Master Sects and families.
Ultimately, it wasn't until the birth of the Divine Ancestor and the establishment of Spirit Hall, who joined with the ancestors of the Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire along with powerhouses from various Spirit Master forces, that the dark era of rampaging Evil Soul Masters was ended.
Only then did the name Douluo Continent finally appear.
[However, I don't intend to do anything about this for the time being.]
[Because I know very well that with my current strength, I haven't reached the level of being invincible on the continent.]
[Furthermore, one person's strength is limited; it is simply impossible to kill all the major Evil Soul Masters and the endless stream of emerging Evil Soul Masters to restore the Sun Moon Empire to its former peace.]
[The current Evil Soul Master crisis on the continent is a structural problem of the Sun Moon Empire, and it's also related to the powerful productivity brought by the vigorous development of spirit tool technology.]
[The explosion of productivity brought by spirit tool technology made the Sun Moon Empire more prosperous than ever before.]
[But it also fueled the insatiable greed of the large Spirit Master Sects and families, as well as the interest groups of the Great Nobles.]
[These all belong to capital groups; the Sun Moon Empire has actually entered a capitalist society.]
[But the whole Empire, including the Sun Moon Imperial Family, still doesn't know how to govern such an Empire.]
[In the end, this situation was created.]
[I believe it is necessary to let all classes of the Sun Moon Empire experience the tragic outcome caused by capital groups betraying the country.]
[After the commoners and ordinary Spirit Masters understand that their current life is not easily won and must be defended with their lives, and after those with a conscience within the capital groups realize the mistakes brought by their greed and feel regret...]
[Then I will tear it down and start over, reorganizing the old mountains and rivers. I will use absolute strength, iron, and blood to plow through this corrupt and filthy World once more, letting everything begin anew.]
[In this way, the next era will be better!]
[And all of this must have someone with invincible strength under heaven, with the power of a Divinity, to oversee the overall situation, guide the circumstances, and carry it out to ensure nothing goes wrong.]
[Therefore, my most important task right now is still to focus on cultivation and become such a person as quickly as possible.]
"Lin Hanjue's vision is truly too far-reaching!"
"Right now in the Sun Moon Empire, everyone is thinking about quickly suppressing the Evil Soul Masters to end all this and restore peace to the Empire."
"But he saw through it—Evil Soul Masters cannot be completely wiped out. It's all a structural problem, a new social form brought about by the explosion of productivity from the rapid development of spirit tool technology."
"Yet no one knows how to govern a country in such a form."
"In the end, it became like this."
"And this Lin Hanjue has already thought about how to open the next era."
Seeing this, Hu Liena couldn't help but be shocked, murmuring to herself.
All along, she had never admired or looked up to anyone.
But this time, she felt heartfelt admiration, respect, and awe for the Lin Hanjue in this notebook.
Her heart grew increasingly curious.
Lin Hanjue's vision was so far-reaching, and his talent was so monstrous; becoming a god in the future would likely be no problem.
According to Lin Hanjue's thoughts, if things continued to develop...
Lin Hanjue should have been invincible in the future, standing out to reorganize the old lands and rebuild a new Sun Moon Empire.
But why did the Sun Moon Empire eventually collapse anyway?
Furthermore, it completely disappeared into the long river of history, leaving not even a single word behind except for those ancient ruins.
What happened to Lin Hanjue in the end?
And how exactly was the Sun Moon Empire destroyed?
Was it really the Evil Soul Master forces, growing stronger by the day, that overthrew the Sun Moon Empire?
Hu Liena felt a deep sense of curiosity in her heart.
