After the founding of the Spirit Empire and the unification of the continent, Oscar, having consolidated all factions, pushed forward the Law of Soul Spirits together with the Star Dou Alliance and the Extreme North Alliance.
At the same time, Oscar's awakened Amber Sausage bloodline began to spread gradually, giving countless ordinary people hope.
However, obtaining it was not simple. Apart from complete faith in the Eternal Emperor, one also had to contribute to the Spirit Empire.
With an endless stream of faith power, Oscar's third soul core was slowly forming, and he had even begun to show traces of divinity.
Besides the faith of the continent's humans, countless soul beasts and even some sea soul beasts also believed in him.
Oscar led the Demon Queen along with the three generals,Sakars Star, Borusalian, and Qingzhang Kuzan,into the seas. His goal was to conquer all maritime territories except Seagod Island.
Most surrendered under his terrifying strength and immense benefits. Those who resisted became spirit rings and spirit bones.
They were all crippled and sent back to the continent as ring reserves for the spirit masters there.
…
Above the surging waves, Oscar's avatar stood with the Demon Queen and the three generals, leading countless soul beasts. They had just conquered the territory of a Golden Armored Crab and subdued a hundred-thousand-year sea soul beast.
Just then, a massive vortex suddenly appeared on the ocean's surface, and from it emerged a breathtaking figure.
Her long hair flowed freely, and she held a scepter in hand. With a cool gaze, she looked at Oscar. "Who are you? Why do you lead so many sea soul beasts to wage war upon the ocean?"
Seeing her, Oscar smiled slightly. "So it's the High Priest of Seagod Island. I am called Oscar, though you may also address me as the Eternal Emperor."
Hearing that name, Posey's brows furrowed. Although Seagod Island did not interact with the continent, her spies there had recently sent back shocking news.
The emperors of the two great empires of the Douluo Continent had both abdicated in favor of the Eternal Emperor Oscar, and even the Spirit Hall had submitted to him.
This person was the Eternal Emperor?
Posey found it hard to believe. From what she knew, this man had already begun leading sea soul beasts to battle before the founding of the Spirit Empire.
So the Eternal Emperor's plans had stretched this far?
Posey slightly bowed. "I have seen the Eternal Emperor."
Oscar nodded lightly. "No need for excessive courtesy."
Posey looked deeply at Oscar. She, a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo, could not even see through his power. It seemed this emperor was indeed extraordinary.
Otherwise, how could he have ended thousands of years of continental war, unified the land, and founded the Spirit Empire?
The only thing that comforted Posey was that the Eternal Emperor had not yet reached for Seagod Island.
But that might no longer be true. Although he had not set foot on Seagod Island, he had already conquered most of the surrounding seas and continued to expand.
Posey clasped her hands. "Eternal Emperor, do you not know that Seagod Island worships the Seagod, and that the sea is under his protection? Acting as you do…"
Before she could finish, Oscar waved a hand and interrupted her. "Under the Seagod's protection, you say? Then ask them,do they think so?"
"I have not touched Seagod Island's waters, yet the High Priest accuses me first."
Posey's expression shifted slightly, for Oscar's words were true.
Even the Seagod himself did not rule over every part of the ocean, and Oscar had indeed not infringed upon Seagod Island's domain.
But if this continued, once the Eternal Emperor ruled all other seas, would Seagod Island still remain what it was?
Would someone capable of unifying a continent allow any anomaly within his realm?
Oscar had not approached Seagod Island only because Ning Rongrong and the others had already gone there. In time, Seagod Island would belong to him anyway, so there was no need to waste effort.
Oscar's calm voice continued. "I have not touched Seagod Island precisely because you have the Seagod's protection."
Posey was speechless for a while. If this man were anyone else, she could have stopped him with her own power.
But given who he was, she was helpless.
She had only come because she didn't know his identity. Now that she did, her trip had been for nothing.
After a long pause, Posey exhaled deeply. "I understand. I shall take my leave."
With that, her figure turned into a streak of blue light and disappeared.
There was no point in arguing further. As long as he did not harm Seagod Island's interests, she would not intervene again.
Fortunately, Seagod Island now had a successor, and the Seagod had a new inheritor. At least the island's future could still be protected.
Watching Posey's departing figure, Oscar suddenly had a bold thought.
Since Ning Rongrong was already the Seagod's successor, if he were to claim Posey as well…
He shook his head, dismissing the idea. Posey was indeed a stunning woman, but there was no need.
After all, Oscar was not ruled by his desires or swayed simply by beauty.
With the matter of Posey settled, Oscar's avatar continued to campaign across the seas, spreading the Eternal Emperor's name and the Law of Soul Spirits, even building statues in his honor.
…
In Angel City, after resolving Bibi Dong's issue and finalizing plans with Qian Daoliu, Oscar left the Angel Temple.
Stepping out from a spatial gate, he arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which was now practically his private garden.
Under Ye Haitang's careful management, the rare herbs there thrived, and the place was well maintained.
By the spring, Gu Yue was, as always, cultivating diligently. When she sensed Oscar's arrival, she slowly rose, her beautiful eyes meeting his silver-white peach blossom eyes.
"You're here," Gu Yue said softly.
Oscar smiled. "You're close to reaching level seventy. It won't be long before you break through."
Gu Yue smiled faintly. "This place has greatly aided my cultivation, but I still must thank you for helping me wholeheartedly."
Oscar stepped forward until he was right in front of her, looking down from above. "Then how do you plan to repay me?"
His domineering tone brought a blush to Gu Yue's face. She could feel his possessiveness, and though she had some feelings for him, she was not about to yield easily.
As the ruler of the soul beasts, she could not afford to be so easily conquered.
Still, as a woman, she admired strength, and Oscar was now second only to the gods. His plans, once mere words, were all now coming to fruition.
His success was almost certain.
For a being like that, Gu Yue had no reason to refuse him.
Besides, the union between her, the Soul Beast Queen, and the human emperor would create the strongest foundation for peace between their races.
In every sense, she had no reason to reject him.
But standing on nearly equal footing with Oscar, she would not easily agree either.
After all, given her status, if she were to be with him, the empress's seat should rightfully belong to her.
Yet Oscar's life was surrounded by women. Even within the Sword Sect alone, there were several beauties.
Not to mention his childhood companion Dugu Yan, or Qian Renxue, the daughter of Angel Temple and inheritor of the Angel God.
With those two alone, her claim to the empress's position already had fierce competition.
Turning slightly, Gu Yue smiled enchantingly. "And how exactly do you want me to repay you?"
Oscar followed closely behind her. "You really don't know what's on my mind? I've been coming here every day, and you still play dumb?"
Gu Yue dodged, teasing, "So what if I know? So what if I don't?"
"You already have plenty of women around you. Chasing me like this,where's your emperor's dignity?"
Oscar chuckled. "An emperor's dignity is for others, not for the one he loves."
Gu Yue ignored him with a huff. "You've seen me, now leave. I still need to cultivate."
Oscar wasn't leaving today. "Didn't I already promise you? You'll all compete fairly for the empress's seat. I've already yielded this much,are you still unhappy? You just want me to favor you, right?"
"You think that, and they think that too. I don't want to hurt any of you, so favoritism won't help. In the end, I'd only hurt you all."
Then, with a teasing smile, Oscar added, "Or is it that you, the Queen of Soul Beasts, lack confidence? Do you think you can't beat two god inheritors?"
Gu Yue froze and raised an eyebrow. "Nonsense. Even the God Kings themselves aren't beyond me. Why would I be afraid of them?"
Oscar took the chance to draw her into his arms. "Then what are you worried about? You're all dear to me. It's fair competition,why be unhappy? Unless you're scared."
Gu Yue glared at him. "Trying to provoke me? Hmph, it works! Fair competition it is. Once I reach level seventy and gain the Ice and Fire Dragon King's power, we'll see how they can keep up with me."
Oscar laughed. "That's what I like about you. They may have divine inheritance, but you have the legacy of twin kings, and your foundation is much higher. I'm honestly a bit jealous."
Gu Yue pushed his chin away. "Enough with your sweet talk. You've gotten too cocky now that even Di Tian can't control you. Once I grow stronger, I'll humble that arrogance of yours."
Oscar grinned. "Go ahead. I'll be waiting for you to try."
After some playful teasing, they finally turned serious again.
Sitting by the spring, Gu Yue asked, "Your Sky Azure Spirit Jade Sword still lacks two spirit rings. Who are they for?"
Oscar replied, "Originally, they were meant for Di Tian, but I've found a better path for him. That will also mark the beginning of soul beasts reclaiming their divinity."
Gu Yue smiled happily at that. Since arriving on the continent, Di Tian had been her most loyal subordinate, and Oscar's thoughtfulness showed his sincerity.
"Have you told Di Tian?" she asked.
"Not yet," Oscar said. "I plan to tell him when I take you back. That way, he'll know it involves you too."
Gu Yue waved a hand. "Don't worry. We soul beasts aren't as scheming as you humans. Even if I'm not there, he'll understand it benefits me as well."
Oscar raised an eyebrow, feigning mischief. "Oh? You really think it's your credit?"
Gu Yue kicked at him. "What did you say?"
Oscar caught her smooth leg with a grin. "Of course it's thanks to you. Without you, I wouldn't have treated Di Tian so generously. Everything he gains is your doing!"
Her expression softened again, though she couldn't pull her leg back.
Feeling it was only fair to reward him for helping her kind achieve their greatest dream,divinity,she said with a glare, "Still touching? You'll wear it out."
Oscar laughed awkwardly and withdrew his hand. "Fine, fine. I'll go talk to Di Tian now before he thinks I'm all talk."
Gu Yue nodded. "And tell them I'm thinking of them. They've worked hard lately."
Oscar smiled. "Don't worry. I'll make sure they know you care. Next time you return, they'll all kneel to welcome you."
Gu Yue rolled her eyes. "You're an emperor now. Can't you act a little more dignified?"
Oscar leaned closer. "Depends who I'm with."
He kissed her gently on the forehead, then opened a spatial gate and stepped through.
Watching him leave, Gu Yue suddenly felt a strange emptiness. She had gotten used to his presence over these days without realizing it.
Shaking her head, she resumed cultivating, letting the silence swallow her thoughts.
…
For Oscar, being with Gu Yue was indeed a wise choice.
After spending this time together, he had grown genuinely fond of her.
Though not as deeply as with his sister, he was determined to make her his.
And to be fair, Gu Yue's origins and resources were unmatched.
He even worried that his sister might not be able to compete with her.
Fortunately, his sister now ruled the City of Slaughter, a divine inheritance ground, which helped narrow that gap.
As for Qian Renxue… well, she would have to work hard, though Oscar doubted she had much chance of claiming the empress's title.
Still, he wouldn't rule out the possibility of her surprising him.
Leaving the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Oscar went straight to the Star Dou Forest. After painting dreams for so long, it was finally time to deliver something real to Di Tian and the others.
Shenhuo Sect, Fire God Abyss.
Ma Hongjun followed Baili Chiyan to the Shenhuo Sect, where the sect master, Baili Qimen, personally greeted them.
Although their connection began through a transaction, to be fair, Ma Hongjun was indeed the most talented fire-attribute soul master they had ever seen.
More importantly, Baili Chiyan no longer had to serve as anyone's subordinate, and the sect's heir had returned intact,this was something worth celebrating.
Baili Qimen laughed heartily and said, "The Sword Sect prodigy graces us with his presence,what an honor for my Shenhuo Sect."
Ma Hongjun cupped his hands slightly. "Sect Master Baili, you flatter me. Now that Chiyan and I are friends, and you are an elder, please just call me Hongjun."
Baili Qimen didn't put on any airs. Regardless of Ma Hongjun's status or talent, he was someone worth befriending.
Besides, the rumored animosity between his son and Ma Hongjun didn't seem as bad as people claimed.
In truth, Baili Chiyan had a decent personality,aside from being a bit arrogant, there was little wrong with him.
Especially after his defeat by Ma Hongjun, he sincerely wanted to learn from him.
And now that Ma Hongjun had fused with the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Snake and obtained his seventh hundred-thousand-year soul ring, Baili Chiyan yearned even more to become a powerhouse like him.
Ma Hongjun followed Baili Qimen into the sect. Due to the divine decrees, all the major forces on the continent that possessed divine inheritances had begun their god trials.
However, the trials required innate talent,without it, even participation was meaningless.
Especially for deities like the Fire God or Wind God, who naturally restricted soul masters of other attributes.
The Shenhuo Sect had many talented individuals, with Baili Chiyan and his sister Baili Chiling standing out the most.
The Fire God's trials were divided into levels,Yellow Rank (tests one to three), Black Rank (tests four to six), and Red Rank (tests seven to nine),a system similar to most divine examinations.
Ordinary geniuses could already be considered outstanding if they reached the Black Rank, while those who obtained Red Rank trials were qualified to inherit the godhood.
The siblings were both at the Black Rank,Baili Chiyan at the fifth test, and his sister at the fourth.
Aside from them, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang from the Blazing Academy also reached the Black Rank, adding strength to the Shenhuo Sect.
Compared to all of them, Ma Hongjun's talent was beyond question. Upon receiving the Fire God's trial, he directly obtained the Red Rank final test,the Fire God's Ninth Trial.
The Red Rank didn't grant immediate inheritance qualification, as the seventh and eighth levels came before that.
But the ninth test represented the god's full recognition; completing all nine meant certain divine succession.
It wasn't surprising that Ma Hongjun received the Fire God's Ninth Trial,he was already a Soul Sage at such a young age, with a hundred-thousand-year seventh soul ring.
However, from the Shenhuo Sect's perspective, while Ma Hongjun was now the chosen heir of the Fire God, he still belonged to the Sword Sect. Their blessing had flowed to another family.
Ma Hongjun understood what that meant to them. Smiling, he said, "Please rest assured, everyone. In the future, we'll all be one family,there will be no division between us."
"And since I've accepted the Fire God's Ninth Trial, I won't forget the Shenhuo Sect."
His words comforted the crowd.
Indeed, things turned out just as Ma Hongjun said. Not long after, Eternal Douluo Oscar emerged, launching various reforms and benefits. Before long, the entire Douluo Continent operated under his command.
If that didn't make them one family, what would?
Moreover, Baili Qimen, being a shrewd man, noticed his daughter's interest in Ma Hongjun and eagerly tried to match them.
If Ma Hongjun became his son-in-law, that "blessing flowing outward" wouldn't matter anymore.
Unfortunately for him, Ma Hongjun was deeply devoted to his girlfriend Ning Rongrong and had no eyes for other women.

In the Wind God Valley, Feng Qinglong received the Wind God's Fifth Trial, while Yun Yi obtained the Fourth. The two were regarded as true prodigies of the valley.
But now, an even greater genius arrived,Feng Xiaotian.
Compared to Feng Qinglong's Black Rank Fifth Trial, Feng Xiaotian directly received the Black Rank Ninth, his talent surpassing even Qinglong's.
With his addition, the Wind God Valley's future looked bright.
Still, compared to Shenhuo Sect, which now had someone undergoing the Fire God's Ninth Trial, the Wind God Valley could only look on with envy.
Why couldn't they find such a genius?
---
At this time, Oscar had successfully slain both the King of Slaughter and Bibi Dong, removing the continent's greatest threat.
Everyone knew of his ambition, but no one dared oppose him.
Some feared his strength, while others were too well compensated to even think of resistance.
The Star Luo Empire had suffered greatly, but under Oscar's ninth soul skill, even the dead were revived.
The Star Luo Emperor understood he had no power to resist Oscar. Moreover, his crown prince was Oscar's close friend and ally. Even if he abdicated, the Dai family would not suffer losses.
Though he lost his throne, everything else improved,especially with the Sword Sect's influence now benefiting the empire more than ever before.
As for the Heaven Dou Empire, Emperor Xue Ye was dead, and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) ascended the throne.
Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng still plotted in secret, but under Xue Qinghe's rule, they could stir no significant trouble.
The two empires began rebuilding, restoring order, and together they announced their abdication, yielding the throne to Eternal Douluo Oscar.
At an auspicious time, as Oscar's reputation had already spread across the continent, everything was ready.
Oscar unified the two empires into one, establishing a single nation: the Wuhun Empire.
He crowned himself as Emperor,the Eternal Emperor,and set the capital in the former Heaven Dou City.
Because the Sunset Forest was nearby, the city was expanded threefold, incorporating a third of the forest into the new capital.
The Wuhun Empire was thus founded, with Heaven Dou City renamed Wuhun City.
To avoid duplication, the original Spirit Hall headquarters (Wuhun City) was renamed Angel City, and the Spirit Hall itself became the Angel Sanctuary. It continued overseeing all soul masters and awakening ceremonies as before.
The Sword Sect was elevated to Guardian Sect of the Empire, the foremost of all sects, and a year later, a new Sect Grand Tournament was announced to select the Seven Great Sects anew.
Meanwhile, all advanced soul master academies across the continent began preparing for the upcoming Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.
Before the Sect Grand Tournament, this academy tournament would serve as the grand prelude.
Across the continent, statues of Eternal Douluo,no, Emperor Oscar,were erected, including one depicting his battle against the Slaughter King, gathering faith from all people.
Even the two great soul beast alliances built statues of him, as the one who promoted the Spirit Soul System had earned their deep respect.
Unlike his past life's elaborate enthronement, there was no Mount Tai here,only a solemn ritual platform built outside Wuhun City.
Under a clear sky, with countless citizens gathered, Oscar's enthronement ceremony began.
After following all the rites, Oscar stood atop the Heaven-Earth Platform and proclaimed loudly:
"Heaven above, Earth below, ancestors and gods as witnesses. The former emperors of the two realms, the civil and military officials, the elders and the people, have all urged this course. The realm has just been unified, the people long in chaos. To bring order and peace, I cannot refuse Heaven's will nor the will of the people. Thus, I offer sacrifice to Heaven and Earth, honor my forebears, and ascend to the throne!"
And so, under the gaze of millions, Oscar became the first Emperor of the Wuhun Empire,the Eternal Emperor. The Douluo Continent was finally unified.
---
Building the empire took time, as did winning hearts. Emperor Oscar promoted intermarriage between citizens of the two former empires.
Those resurrected by him were the most willing, grateful for their second chance at life.
Once everything was arranged, Oscar began touring the continent,a formal imperial inspection.
Good leaders were rewarded, corrupt ones imprisoned and stripped of property.
He didn't consolidate every soul master faction under one banner but instead encouraged diversity and competition,so long as they pledged allegiance to the empire and paid annual taxes.
Defiance meant treason,execution and extermination of the entire family,with no exceptions, not even for the Clear Sky Sect.
Though initially resistant, the sects soon accepted reality,the times demanded it.
Besides, the upcoming Seven Great Sects election offered incentives: the top three sects paid only ten percent taxes, the lower four twenty percent,far lighter than others,and enjoyed imperial privileges.
---
Time passed, and everything developed as Oscar planned.
The outer region of the Star Dou Forest became the Star Dou Alliance, where soul masters needed certification before acquiring spirit rings. The Extreme North formed its own alliance under similar rules.
Other spirit beast forests were managed by powerful beasts and imperial officials jointly.
Shrek Academy remained the imperial academy, now elevated to the "Number One Academy of the Continent" due to Oscar's legacy.
The former Heaven Dou Royal Academy was merged into Shrek as the Outer Court, open to all soul masters under twelve who reached level fifteen.
The Inner Court, formerly Shrek's Royal Division, became even stricter,graduates there were guaranteed positions in the imperial government or direct recruitment into the Sword Sect.
The City of Slaughter, now leaderless after the Slaughter King's death, was taken over by Dugu Yan.
With full control, her advancement to level ninety came quickly, though she did not slack off,she knew how difficult godhood was to reach.
Oscar had told her of his bet with Qian Renxue,since Oscar and Qian Renxue were now engaged, Dugu Yan had to protect her position as the principal consort and watch out for that cunning rival.
Qian Renxue was currently challenging the Angel God's trials, and she might someday surpass Dugu Yan.
Still, Oscar promised that if things went badly, he'd "cheat" for her,with his sausages and her power, Qian Renxue had no real chance to catch up.
But Dugu Yan was proud and refused such help. If Qian Renxue dreamed of overtaking her, she would crush that dream with absolute strength.
After fully mastering the City of Slaughter, Dugu Yan even discovered hidden treasures within.
---
In Angel City's Angel Sanctuary, Oscar sat beside Qian Daoliu,his future father-in-law.
Oscar raised his hand and took out the sealed Bibi Dong from his soul tool, handing her over.
With his time-space soul core, Oscar had slowed the temporal flow inside the sealed space so much that Bibi Dong remained nothing but a mist of blood, her recovery nearly halted.
Qian Daoliu accepted the seal and stored it away.
"She's a shadow on Xue'er's heart," Qian Daoliu said kindly. "Let her handle it herself when the time comes. Thank you."
Oscar smiled faintly. "No need for formality between us."
Qian Daoliu chuckled. "True. Still, now that you're the Eternal Emperor, you have no heir yet,that won't do…"
Oscar could already guess what this old man was thinking.
"Then have Xue'er work hard. Once she finishes the Angel God's trials, we'll marry."
"Until then, I won't distract her."
"Of course, if she takes too long,well, when her 'elder sister' returns, that Empress seat might not be hers."
Qian Daoliu understood,the "sister" Oscar referred to was Dugu Yan. From Oscar's hints, she too had a divine inheritance now.
Oscar claimed fairness between them, but his subtle comments told another story,he wanted Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue to be mentally prepared.
After all, Dugu Yan was currently far stronger than Qian Renxue, with two hundred-thousand-year soul rings and two hundred-thousand-year spirit souls. Fighting her was like courting death.
Oscar didn't say it outright, but he clearly favored Dugu Yan,his first woman, and so far, his only one.
Though he and Ye Lingling shared some ambiguous feelings, he never crossed the line. Shui Bing'er, whom his teacher tried to match him with, loved him one-sidedly.
It wasn't that Oscar disliked beauty, but until he formally married his "sister," he would never cross boundaries with another woman.
Once Dugu Yan married him and became Empress, he knew those other women would no longer hold back.
And besides them, countless forces across the continent were already trying to select brides for the Eternal Emperor,to continue his bloodline.
Oscar could only keep agreeing vaguely, stalling again and again…
