Ghost Douluo quickly added, "With His Majesty personally taking action, success is assured."
Bibi Dong nodded slightly and said coldly, "Go and prepare.
This time, the Spirit Empire will surely dominate the entire continent."
Everyone responded in unison, "Yes!" and then withdrew to prepare for the war.
Once again, only Bibi Dong remained in the hall. Her gaze was fixed on the distance, as if she could already see the day of the Spirit Empire's victory.
Bibi Dong's expression flickered, her eyes revealing deep sorrow and desolation.
Qian Renshang was dead; she felt as if her world had lost its light.
She sat on the high throne, her body trembling slightly, murmuring to herself, "He's gone, and my world has darkened..."
Memories surged like a tide, every moment she had spent with Qian Renshang now becoming sharp blades piercing her heart.
"If I don't find something to do, I really will die." Bibi Dong bit her lip, a resolute glint in her eyes.
She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, yet she felt no pain.
Because the pain in her heart had long exceeded the limits her body could bear.
"Only war, only when the Martial Soul Empire dominates the continent, can I forget all of this."
Bibi Dong's voice echoed in the empty hall, carrying endless sorrow and madness.
At this moment, she was like a wounded beast, trying to mask her inner pain through frantic actions.
Three days later, Bibi Dong, clad in magnificent armor, stood atop Wuhun City, overlooking the army poised for battle below.
Her eyes were resolute, her face cold and stern, and the scepter in her hand gleamed with a chilling light.
"Move out!"
With her command, military flags waved and horns blared.
The army marched forward, the sounds of footsteps, hooves, and wheels mingling, shaking the very earth.
Countless powerful figures throughout Wuhun City began to move.
Title Douluos surged with soul power, like dazzling stars.
Soul Douluos followed closely behind, their momentum unstoppable.
Thousands upon thousands of Soul Masters formed orderly squares, advancing with resolute steps.
In the sky, flying Soul Masters soared, forming a dark, oppressive cloud.
Various Martial Souls were released simultaneously, their light intertwining, dazzling yet filled with a chilling aura.
Bibi Dong rode a white unicorn at the head of the procession. Behind her stretched the vast army of the Spirit Empire, a surging torrent of steel, rolling towards the two great empires.
The people lining the roads silently watched this mighty army, their hearts filled with both fear of war and anticipation of victory for the Spirit Empire.
In Heaven Dou City, Emperor Xue Ye sat on his throne, his expression grim.
He gripped the armrests tightly, his knuckles white from the force.
He had learned of the Spirit Empire's declaration of war.
Previously, their Heaven Dou Empire had been no match for the Spirit Empire; had it not been for Qian Renshang's help, they would likely have been annihilated long ago.
"What should we do? The Spirit Empire is coming on strong; how should we respond?"
Emperor Xue Ye's brows furrowed, his voice filled with deep worry.
His ministers below also wore solemn expressions, whispering amongst themselves.
"Your Majesty, the situation is critical. We must devise a solution as soon as possible!"
An old minister stepped forward, speaking with deep concern.
"A solution? The Martial Soul Empire is filled with powerful figures. What can we possibly use to fight them?"
Another minister shook his head helplessly.
Emperor Xue Ye took a deep breath, trying to calm himself: "Issue my order to summon all Soul Masters in the country, strengthen the city defenses, and prepare to meet the enemy."
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this will only be a drop in the ocean," someone muttered softly.
"Enough!" Emperor Xue Ye roared, "Even if there is only a sliver of hope, we cannot give up."
A tense and desperate atmosphere permeated the entire palace.
Everyone understood that this would be an unprecedented and fierce battle.
