"Of course not."
Su Ming met the gazes of the Titled Douluos and revealed a smile.
"Spirit Hall and my Blacksmith Association are fundamentally the same. I'm sure the Sun Moon Alliance would welcome Spirit Hall establishing itself on this continent as well."
With both the Blacksmith Association and Spirit Hall stationed here, the Sun Moon Alliance's development would accelerate even faster.
Were the three major tribes willing?
Not necessarily.
They were the alliance leaders and naturally wanted their three tribes to remain in the dominant position.
But Su Ming didn't want this situation to persist.
After all, the alliance was only formed three months ago. Nothing was set in stone yet, and changes could still be made.
Su Ming's gaze passed over the many Titled Douluos, looking at the representatives from the various Douluo Continent factions behind them.
They could also cooperate separately with individual tribes.
A mutual exchange.
The Douluo forces would learn Spirit Tool technology, introduce Spirit Tool talents, and even bring a few experienced Spirit Engineers back to their continent. In return, they would leave behind a portion of their personnel within the tribes to teach Spirit Master cultivation techniques.
A complementary relationship. This way, both continents would have a better future.
Su Ming was not a great philanthropist.
However, his path was roughly aligned with this.
The stronger the people who provided him with faith, and the more developed Douluo Planet became, the more faith he would receive, and the purer it would be, making his future ascension to godhood smoother.
Therefore, he had to actively promote the development of all parties.
In the Douluo 1 era, Su Ming had completely transcended factional struggles.
Factional struggles?
Ha.
A low-level perspective.
Life-or-death conflict was meaningless to him. His eyes were set solely on development.
If Spirit Hall establishing an empire and unifying the continent could guarantee a more rapid development of the Spirit Master world, Su Ming would even cooperate with Spirit Hall to overthrow the rule of the two empires.
On the premise that Spirit Hall wouldn't stab his faith in the back.
The Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others felt complex emotions.
After bypassing Su Ming, heading to the Sun Moon Alliance, and communicating with them, they discovered the Alliance was not surprised by their appearance.
They knew the reason for this; Su Ming had probably informed the Sun Moon Alliance.
However, on this basis, the Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others did not feel any wariness from the Sun Moon Alliance towards them. Instead, they felt that Su Ming had informed this side of everything in advance, seemingly laying the groundwork for their establishment...
How could this be?
Even the establishment of Spirit Hall proceeded very smoothly after the cooperation terms were agreed upon.
Within a short month, Spirit Holy Halls were completed in the three major tribes, followed by Spirit Main Halls being established in the nine tribes with Spirit Douluos.
Such smooth progress even made the Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others feel a bit guilty.
This Su Ming actually hadn't set up any traps in advance.
Aside from promoting the formation of the alliance among the Sun Moon Continent tribes and forbidding the Douluo Continent forces from forcibly enslaving the Sun Moon Continent, he hadn't taken any other restrictive measures.
Was it due to a lack of time?
Or something else?
When the Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others, filled with suspicion, sought out Su Ming again, he gave them a monumental surprise.
"Everyone, I've obtained some intelligence from a Spirit Engineer family here on the Sun Moon Continent. I think you'll be interested."
Su Ming revealed the existence of the Heaven Dou Continent.
"What?"
The Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others were stunned.
There was another continent?
They were mentally prepared for the Sun Moon Continent, but the Heaven Dou Continent was a truly pleasant surprise.
"This continent is much smaller than both the Sun Moon and Douluo Continents, but it can still be called a continent. Its resources are still abundant. Furthermore, according to that Spirit Engineer family's records, civilization hasn't yet formed there."
Civilization hasn't yet formed there.
Su Ming's hint made their hearts burn with excitement.
The Sun Moon Continent required cooperation, mutual exchange, and joint development, but that small continent could be completely possessed by them!
"Do you have nautical charts?"
"Yes."
Su Ming produced a set of nautical charts.
"I think, in another two months, after you're more settled here on the Sun Moon Continent, we can set off to explore this small continent?"
The corners of the Chrysanthemum Douluo and the other Titled Douluos' mouths twitched.
The Blacksmith Association was already largely formed, and cooperation with the local tribes was stabilizing. Especially since a forging system already existed here, everything proceeded logically.
But for their Spirit Hall to take root was much more difficult. After all, this place revered Spirit Engineers.
Even the Spirit Masters from the three major tribes who inherited top-tier Martial Souls also practiced as Spirit Engineers, though they didn't rely on pills.
Therefore, for Spirit Hall to establish a foundation on the Sun Moon Continent was inherently challenging.
To this end, the Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others eliminated threats like Spirit Beast dangers for the major tribes, gradually winning over the people's hearts, and declared they could perform unified Martial Soul awakenings for everyone at age six.
This was how they initially developed.
But solidifying this situation was clearly not something achievable in just a few months.
"No need. She Mao and I will stay behind to oversee the Sun Moon Spirit Hall," the Ci Tun Douluo spoke up.
"What about you all?"
Su Ming looked at the representatives of the other factions.
The representatives looked at each other.
Chen Xin spoke calmly, "Ning Chuan and I will participate in this pioneering expedition. All other members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan will remain on the Sun Moon Continent."
"The Heaven Dou royal family will participate."
"The Star Luo royal family will participate."
"The Elephant Armor Sect will participate."
"..."
After numerous factions declared their participation, the Chrysanthemum Douluo addressed the Titled Douluos joining this operation, "Since this information was also shared by President Su Ming, I think we need to be prepared before setting off this time."
"Last time, we failed President Su Ming. We still couldn't block that sword strike; our response was lacking."
The Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke in a tone as if for Su Ming's own good.
The faction representatives subtly exchanged glances.
This wasn't really about Su Ming's safety; they were probably worried Su Ming would repeat his last trick and directly resurrect on the small continent.
"Indeed. This time, I'll also need to trouble everyone to help me hunt for a Spirit Ring. If we can find a suitable hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast along the way, I'll still need everyone's assistance."
Su Ming clasped his fists, following the Chrysanthemum Douluo's words.
"Don't worry. This time, we will exert our full strength to weaken that sword energy by fifty percent for you and buy you two seconds. That should give you enough time to evade," the Qing Luan Douluo said.
"Thank you," Su Ming said.
Three days later.
The western coast of the Sun Moon Continent.
Everyone boarded the ship again.
Compared to the arrival, far fewer people boarded this time. Each faction sent at most five people, with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan sending only two.
One was their strongest member, the other a core, direct representative of the faction.
The giant ship set sail.
Shortly after the ship departed, the Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and Qing Luan Douluo gathered all the Titled Douluos on board and invited Su Ming to the conference room.
"President Su Ming, before departure, you mentioned wanting to hunt a hundred-thousand-year sea Spirit Beast. Could you inform us in advance what type of sea Spirit Beast you need?" the Qing Luan Douluo asked.
Facing Qing Luan Douluo's inquiry, Su Ming's eyes narrowed slightly.
He knew Qing Luan Douluo's intention wasn't really about his Spirit Ring target.
"Deep Sea Python," he directly answered Qing Luan Douluo's question and proactively unveiled the Titled Douluos' true curiosity. "You probably want to know how I elevate the年限 of my Spirit Rings, right?"
The God Realm.
The Shura God, peeping into this scene, fell silent.
This time... should he still make a move?
He had already scanned the small continent Su Ming mentioned, confirming there was no Blue Silver Emperor there.
However, that place wasn't normal either...
