Chapter 1276: 1276
"Don't worry, Your Excellency, I'm alright . We'll start with the current mission right away . "
The Holy Spirit Douluo said no more . Tang Wulin regained his blank gaze . When the others saw the blazing flames of fighting spirit reignited within his eyes, they could not help but sigh with relief .
The palace of the Dou Spirit Empire .
Xue Yuntian frowned when he read the report in his hands . As the emperor, he did not have it easy . The Dou Spirit Empire was founded before the Star Luo Empire . It was also the first empire to have established itself on a continent .
During the first thousand years, the empire focused its energy on increasing its population . Back then, those who were able to make their way to this continent numbered no more than three thousand . It was difficult for the empire to sustain itself for generations with these numbers .

To increase the population, a part of the populace intermarried . As a result, for a long time, there were many babies born deformed in the Dou Spirit Empire . However, not all children born from parents who were closely related had problems . There were some who were born normal . It was through such an arduous history that the Dou Spirit Empire's population gradually grew .
At first, the continent was barren . They had to begin from scratch . Apart from the soul beasts, there were no natives on this continent . For this reason, the Dou Spirit Empire had trouble setting up its base .
The royal family had taken the surname Xue from their initial Guo after they settled here . It was supposed to signify a new beginning . They finally made progress with each passing day .
However, the first settlers of the Dou Spirit Empire were the true inhabitants of the Douluo Continent back then . They observed their traditions . When they left the Douluo Continent, soul tools were developing rapidly . However, the Dou Spirit Empire was destroyed because they were not adept in utilizing the soul tools . After they settled down, they underwent a population boom . They began cultivating the barren lands which met their daily lives' needs . Subsequently, they continued to develop their country . However, they were not at all skilled in the use of soul tools . The Dou Spirit Empire had to begin from ground zero .
The Douluo Federation was very strict in the dissemination of its soul tool technology . Although their main target was the Star Luo Empire, the Dou Spirit Empire was equally affected . If the Tang Sect had not smuggled in the soul tools into their empire, the Dou Spirit Empire would have fallen behind further .
Nonetheless, the Tang Sect provided limited support to the Dou Spirit Empire . They would only sell them completed soul tools, but not the soul technology .
It was the Tang Sect's policy for they did not wish to see another powerful empire emerge when the Federation was divided internally . If it happened, a war would be inevitable . The Tang Sect only wanted to help the traditional folks on the Douluo Continent pass down their legacy in the Dou Spirit Empire . On the contrary, they did not wish to be the cause for the breakout of a world war .
The soul technology the Dou Spirit Empire owned was outmoded . They only made some improvements after a few thousand years of work . Hence, they were far behind compared to the Federation .
When they heard that the Douluo Federation was going to initiate a war, they were, naturally, anxious about it . As the emperor, Xue Yuntian had many sleepless nights . He knew only too well that with the Douluo Federation's might, his own army might not even survive for ten days . The difference in strength between the two armies was too great .
Although the Star Luo Empire had long ago intended to form an alliance with the Dou Spirit Empire, the distance between the two continents was too great . It would be very difficult for them to support one another . The navy was one area where there was a large gap between the two empires and the Federation . It would be easy for the Federation to cut off the communications between them .
Feeling helpless, Xue Yuntian requested the help of the two most powerful organizations in the present world, namely the Spirit Pagoda and the Tang Sect . He hoped that they would be of some help . The Tang Sect agreed, but the Spirit Pagoda seemed hesitant . It turned out they took this opportunity to coerce and extort him instead . Undoubtedly, the two organizations had their eyes on the resources of the Dou Spirit Continent . The Tang Sect was more ethical as they traded their weapons for the resources, whereas the Spirit Pagoda wanted the resources for free . They were only willing to be the Federation's armies after they had obtained enough resources .
After numerous discussions with his high-ranking officials, Xue Yuntian felt that the Tang Sect's proposal was more equitable . At least, the Tang Sect was providing something tangible . On the other hand, the Spirit Pagoda was avaricious . Besides, it was just a promise . In any case, promises were of the least value in a war among countries . Regardless of the Spirit Pagoda's powerful influence, Xue Yuntian did not dare put his faith in them .
