"Then after the Holy War ends, when the name of Douluo Continent is replaced by Sun-Moon Continent, and our empire unifies the world, what comes next?" Huo Yuhao's smile turned cold.
Kong Deming fell silent. He seemed to understand his precious god-grandson's intent. He said nothing but slowly shook his head.
"Exactly, Grandfather. At that time, our dear Emperor Xu Tianran will no longer be needed. Would you still wish to let a ruler who has colluded with the Holy Spirit Church and brought suffering to countless lives govern the post-war world?" Huo Yuhao's voice turned sharp, chilling.
"For the eternal glory and future of the Sun-Moon Empire, Xu Tianran must be exposed to the public as a corrupt tyrant and purged. Similarly, the Holy Spirit Church must be eradicated alongside him, sacrificed for the birth of a new Sun-Moon Continent."
Huo Yuhao's words were daring beyond measure — openly plotting regicide and rebellion. But with the Snow Empress at his side, he possessed the strength and courage to voice such ambitions. Even if Xu Tianran discovered his true thoughts, what of it? Huo Yuhao would never give him the chance.
Kong Deming let out a long, heavy sigh. He could not deny the truth in Huo Yuhao's words.
After a deep breath, Kong Deming nodded.
"Yuhao, you are right. As the Grand Worshipper of the Sun-Moon Empire, what I care about is always the empire as a whole, not any single emperor. Whatever you decide to do, go ahead boldly. Grandfather will support you. After all, you are destined for greatness."
Godhood, the Snow Empress, Huo Yuhao's terrifying cultivation talent, and his wisdom that was shaping the world's future — Kong Deming felt it was unrealistic to expect someone like Yuhao to remain a subordinate forever.
In fact, Kong Deming now thought that if, in the future, they replaced the imperial family altogether and made Huo Yuhao the ruler, it would be for the best. Imagine, a new royal family descended from a future god!
Could Huo Yuhao reach the realm of gods? From the first time he met Yuhao, Kong Deming had already felt it was possible. And now that even the Snow Empress had chosen to follow him, he was even more convinced.
"Thank you, Grandfather," Huo Yuhao said sincerely, his heart warm. With Kong Deming's support, his future plans were almost certain to succeed.

In a quiet corner of Shrek City.
"Senior Mu En, wise men submit to circumstance. You don't want Shrek Academy to perish during your tenure as Sea God Pavilion Master, do you?" Huo Yuhao said with a faint smile.
Mu En looked at the figures before him — Kong Deming, Huo Yuhao, Snow Empress, and Di Tian.
Facing such an array of overwhelming power, even he felt a shiver deep within his soul. His pupils trembled involuntarily.
No exaggeration — standing before him were the strongest beings in the world. Even with the power of the Golden Tree, Mu En knew he had no chance of winning. If they wished, they could obliterate Shrek City in the blink of an eye.
Di Tian stared coldly at Mu En, his voice filled with icy disdain.
"Hmph. Humans of Shrek... Who would've thought that after the last Beast Tide, I, Di Tian, would one day stand aligned with a human faction against you."
Mu En sighed deeply. He shook his head, his stooped figure seeming even more frail.
"How did it come to this?"
He simply could not understand. Why would the Great Star Dou Forest ally with the Sun-Moon Empire? Was it merely because the Three Kingdoms of Douluo had hunted too many soul beasts?
If so, the implications were terrifying. On the Sun-Moon side now stood not only Di Tian and the Snow Empress but also two top elders of the Holy Spirit Church and Tenth-Level Soul Engineer Kong Deming — five extreme-level existences in total!
In an instant, the Three Kingdoms' advantage in Titled Douluo numbers had vanished.
Mu En turned his gaze to Huo Yuhao. This teenager — not even twenty years old — was the linchpin. It was he who had gathered all this world's luck and fortune to the Sun-Moon Empire.
"The Child of Destiny... I thought such things only existed in legends. Yet here you are," Mu En thought bitterly, forcing a wry smile.
Ten thousand years ago, Tang San was the Child of Destiny.
And now?
The Three Kingdoms of Douluo had no hope left.
"I have no other choice," Mu En sighed. "I accept. Shrek Academy will not interfere in this war. We will recognize the Sun-Moon Continent's name and attempt to persuade the Three Kingdoms to surrender."
"You are wise," Di Tian said coldly, then disappeared into the void. His mission was simply to pressure Shrek Academy. He had no interest in human wars, except insofar as they promoted the spread of soul spirits.
Mu En's eyes sharpened.
"But," he warned grimly, "the Holy Spirit Church must not be allowed to ravage the people of the Three Kingdoms. If they go too far, even if it costs me my life, I will act."
Kong Deming chuckled.
"Mu Brother, you worry too much. Truth be told, both Yuhao and I are extremely dissatisfied with Xu Tianran's alliance with the Holy Spirit Church. Rest assured, once the war begins, we will act. When the time is right, the Holy Spirit Church will be no more. And as for your old friends in the Church... we'll leave them in your care."
Mu En relaxed slightly, sighing heavily.
He thought of Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui. He had already made up his mind. Once Shrek Academy was safe, he would use his life to end the tangled fate between the three of them.
"One more thing," Mu En added, his voice grave. "You must safely return our exchange students."
Huo Yuhao nodded.
"You can rest assured, Senior Mu. Hall Master Jing has already arranged everything for the handover of the exchange students. Once they return to their respective countries, the Sun-Moon Empire will officially issue a declaration of war and a call for surrender. At that time, we will still need your efforts. After all, peaceful unification would spare countless lives."
