Yet even after suffering the most stifling humiliation in history,
no matter how furious, agonized, and despairing he felt inside—no matter how badly he wanted to carve Oscar into a thousand pieces—Sanzi still had no choice but to explain patiently.
"I didn't. I was just shocked that Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang turned out to be even more shameless and more despicable than I had imagined before. I lost focus for a moment, that's all."
His tone was incomparably gentle, his face adorned with a bright, flawless smile.
There was no helping it.
Because even the slightest deviation in tone would be interpreted as dissatisfaction toward Oscar.
And dissatisfaction toward Oscar—who had been sent by Nangong Lingyun—was equivalent to dissatisfaction toward the great Sovereign of the Heavenly Kingdom.
Which meant one thing:
Death.
Because of this incident alone, his heart had nearly exploded several times the day before. Only with unimaginable willpower had he managed to suppress it.
On the other side,
at the Bronze Sparrow Terrace, Nangong Lingyun was eating breakfast. A faint smile lingered between his brows, his mood visibly pleasant.
He had discovered that sending Oscar to personally "monitor" Tang San was nothing short of a divine stroke.
From now on, not only would the Flying Immortal Trials generate pitfall points every day—but reality itself would continue to produce them endlessly.
Not counting the portion gained from the annihilation of the Clear Sky Sect, just this single day and night had produced nearly one small goal worth of returns.
Although the initial adjustment period involved discomfort and psychological friction, a number at the "small goal" level was still worthy of the word epic.
And this wasn't a one-time deal.
It would happen every single day.
Oscar was even more capable than Lin Xian'er.
Lin Xian'er relied on pure torment.
Oscar, on the other hand, openly framed and wronged someone right in their face—deliberately and shamelessly—while the victim had absolutely no way to retaliate.
He managed to anger Sanzi to the point of "one Buddha ascending to heaven, two Buddhas emerging into the world," bleeding endlessly.
It could only be said—
The Tang San perpetual-motion machine: whoever uses it, knows. One try and you're hooked.
As Nangong Lingyun ate, his chopsticks suddenly froze midair.
A slice of smashed cucumber hovered stiffly between them.
A trace of astonishment flashed across his face.
Because just moments ago—
His soul power had inexplicably risen by one level.
Soul power breakthroughs weren't rare.
The problem was timing.
He had just broken through not long ago. Under normal circumstances, the next advancement should've taken at least two more months.
Moreover, this wasn't a natural accumulation.
It was as if an unseen force had suddenly emerged, forcibly pushing him forward.
A moment later, Nangong Lingyun's expression returned to calm.
He placed the cucumber into his mouth, chewed, swallowed, and only then spoke to those beside him:
"You all continue eating. I need to step out for a moment."
Leaving the first-floor hall, he entered his private space on the ninth floor.
He gently closed his eyes, sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, and began to contemplate silently.
Originally, Nangong Lingyun had regarded faith power as nothing more than a cover story.
After all, the existence of the system absolutely could not be exposed.
Not only could he not tell anyone outright—he couldn't even allow anyone to vaguely suspect that something was off about him.
Standing up for civilians and low-level soul masters, founding an empire, unifying the world, eliminating war, popularizing soul master theory—
All of it served a purpose.
After becoming a god through the system in the future, he could claim he had followed the examples of the Angel God and Sea God—ascending through the accumulation of faith.
That would make many absurd developments appear reasonable.
However—
That brief moment earlier had allowed him to keenly sense something different.
Faith power seemed to truly contain a profound mystery.
All three of his martial souls had trembled simultaneously, displaying a distinct yearning toward this power.
Faith power could cause martial souls to evolve.
Even those at the Supreme God-King level were no exception.
At this moment, today's newspapers had only just begun circulating.
The gathering of that mysterious power was not a single burst—but wave after wave, each stronger than the last, growing more turbulent with time.
Nangong Lingyun studied it for a full half hour before slowly opening his eyes and calling out to the system in his heart:
"Diao Chan, does faith power carry any hidden risks?"
"According to the Douluo system's framework, faith power in this spacetime has benefits only—no drawbacks.
Moreover, it possesses minor characteristics of Heart Essence. Under specific conditions, it can achieve limited omnipotence, including the creation of an entirely new world.
However, it must be accumulated in sufficient quantity to be effective."
"Then why didn't it appear when I founded the nation last time?"
"Civilians approved, but over ninety percent of soul masters opposed it. The faith was neutralized."
"I see."
Nangong Lingyun nodded slowly.
He had focused almost all his attention on the system, neglecting the orthodox path to godhood.
No wonder…
No wonder Shura went to such lengths to scheme.
No wonder the so-called 'pure and noble' manipulated the God Realm of Douluo into the Tang Family God Realm.
No wonder the Dragon God failed, yet Lan Xuanyu could create a God Star.
The so-called 'approval of the universe's will' was nothing but a joke.
The truth was more likely tens of thousands of years of relentless plundering of lower-realm faith by the Tang family.
Heart Essence power—even incomplete and restricted—was simply too vast in scope and magnitude.
Realizing the importance of faith, Nangong Lingyun's gaze sharpened instantly.
One idea after another surfaced in his mind.
Though it wouldn't alter his main development path—the system was still the most important and cost-effective option—faith power was no longer optional.
As he thought, a virtual screen automatically displayed a memo before him:
Accelerate the unification process. Including Sea God Island, the entire Douluo Star must fall under the rule of the Heavenly Kingdom of Peace.
After taking the Sun Moon Continent, immediately popularize soul-guidance technology on a massive scale—especially in civilian sectors.
Strengthen propaganda fronts. Newspapers alone are too simplistic and limited in reach.Ideally, develop soul-guided phones and televisions, opening video-based dissemination. If soul engineers can't do it—cheat.
Reform the Soul Master Tournament. Move it under Heavenly Kingdom jurisdiction, expand its scale and categories, increase promotion, and turn it into a top-tier sporting spectacle.
Not only build momentum for himself—his beast companions and women under his command can join as well.
Prepare for the interstellar era.
…
A few minutes later, his thoughts had fully crystallized.
Nangong Lingyun no longer hesitated and immediately sent out multiple directives.
He summoned the leaders of the two great empires, two great sects, two major alliances, the High Priest of Sea God Island, the Pope of Spirit Hall, the High Priest of the Angel Cult, the Slaughter King of the City of Slaughter, and the Beast God of Star Dou Great Forest—
And had the God King of Destruction notify the High Priest of the Destruction God, instructing him to invite the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire to attend a peace conference three days later.
He clearly informed everyone:
When the conference ends, only one voice may exist on Douluo Star.
With the power currently held by Kaiyuan Sect, no planning, preparation, ambushes, or multi-party considerations were necessary.
They only needed to declare their will.
Others could choose obedience—or death.
Even divine inheritance lands had no room for negotiation.
With Angel Yan present, message transmission was absurdly simple.
Within a thousand kilometers, she didn't even need to travel—she could directly open a spatial rift and toss the written orders through.
In just a few minutes, everyone except the Sun Moon Empire had already received the notice.
