With the rogue factions crushed and their remnants absorbed into Spirit Hall's forces, Xin Tian turned his gaze beyond the Douluo Continent. Spirit Hall had become the undisputed ruler of the land, but true dominion required more than local supremacy—it required the conquest of the unknown.
Through the system's rewards, Xin Tian had gained knowledge of distant lands, hidden civilizations, and organizations beyond Douluo. Now, it was time to act.
The Call to Conquer
Inside the Spirit Hall's grand chamber, the council gathered once again. Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, and the newly sworn-in Zhan Feng were among those present. A massive map was unfurled across the table, displaying not just Douluo but lands beyond its known borders.
Xin Tian's gaze swept across the council. "The Douluo Continent is ours. But beyond this land lies a world filled with unknown forces. Spirit Hall's future lies in expansion. We must prepare."
Elder Qian Daoliu nodded in agreement. "The Gods themselves have not interfered since your rise, Xin Tian. This is an opportunity. But tell us, what lands do you seek to claim first?"
Xin Tian turned his attention to three key regions marked on the map:
1. The Sun-Moon Empire – A powerful nation possessing advanced technology and spirit tools far superior to anything on the Douluo Continent.
2. The Forgotten Abyss – A rumored land where fallen gods were said to be sealed, with untold secrets hidden beneath the shadows.
3. The Ancient Martial Realms – A series of floating islands ruled by warring clans who wield power beyond conventional martial souls.
Bibi Dong's eyes gleamed with intrigue. "Each of these places presents both danger and opportunity. Which will we claim first?"
Xin Tian smirked. "We will start with the Sun-Moon Empire. Their technology will enhance our army, and their resistance will serve as an example to the world."
Spirit Hall's First Move
Under Xin Tian's orders, three divisions were mobilized:
• The Heavenly Vanguard – Elite warriors led by Bibi Dong, tasked with securing the empire's capital.
• The Shadow Syndicate – Espionage operatives under Shadowmaster Kael, sent to weaken the empire's defenses from within.
• The Imperial Guard – Xin Tian's personal force, comprised of his most trusted warriors and strongest Spirit Masters.
With the system's guidance, Spirit Hall prepared advanced airships, enhanced by Sun-Moon technology already obtained through past missions. The invasion was not one of blind conquest but a precise, calculated takeover.
The March to War
As the armies mobilized, Xin Tian stood on the Spirit Hall's grand balcony, overlooking thousands of Spirit Masters in formation.
"The world belongs to those who dare to claim it," he declared, his voice carrying across the city. "The Sun-Moon Empire stands as our first challenge. We do not seek destruction—we seek unity. And if they refuse, we will remind them who rules this world."
A chorus of battle cries echoed through the city. The conquest had begun.
