Chapter 321. The Miracle of the Angel God (Part 1)
At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi, looking at Cai Mou's interview, smiled and said, "Well done. We can consider bringing her into our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and giving her an outer disciple position."
"Yes, Sect Master."
Just as public sentiment was surging, the Spirit Hall finally responded to this popular movement. Bibi Dong officially gave a speech, stating that the Spirit Hall would resolve this crisis of spirit beasts and spirit rings!
When Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang saw Bibi Dong speaking in the video, he grinned, touched the rows of medals on his chest, and a shrewd glint in his eyes. He said, "Bibi Dong, Bibi Dong, even if you are the Pope of the Spirit Hall, possess twin martial souls, and are a Title Douluo, so what? You still fell into my trap."
Xue Qinghe, standing beside him with a gentle smile, said, "Now, just as you predicted, the Spirit Hall has fallen into our trap. Next, the Spirit Hall will be forced to face that powerful spirit beast army. When they fight the spirit beasts to the death, our anti-Spirit Hall alliance can reap the benefits."
"That's right, that's right," Yu Xiaogang said. "However, we must not relax our propaganda efforts. This is our chance. We must force the Spirit Hall to fight the spirit beasts to the death."
"Alright, Grand Preceptor, we'll handle it immediately."
Following this, fueled by various forces, despite the Spirit Hall's stated intention to resolve the crisis quickly, numerous demonstrations erupted, demanding the immediate mobilization of troops to conquer the Star Dou Great Forest and Sunset Forest, demonstrating humanity's power to the spirit beasts.
Meanwhile, a large demonstration also took place outside the Papal Palace. However—these demonstrators, who sought to force the Spirit Hall to subdue the spirit beasts, never expected that the spirit beasts would come knocking on their door.
Above the Papal Palace, space itself tore open, and a colossal black dragon, a dark gold terror bear, a skeletal dragon, and an Ice Snow Maiden—a host of super-fierce beasts—emerged. The terrifying power of these beasts terrified the demonstrators below the Papal Palace who had been vowing to exterminate the spirit beasts.
"I heard you want the Spirit Hall to exterminate us spirit beasts," Di Tian said coldly, his dragon eyes fixed on these ants.
"No, no, that's not what we meant." These protesters had never seen such a terrifying spirit beast before.
"No need for the Spirit Hall to come looking for us; we're already looking for them. This is humanity's most powerful force. Once we destroy this place, humanity's power will completely crumble," said the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.
These declarations from the spirit beasts were also broadcast worldwide through the Spirit Hall's live stream. Seeing this scene, Ning Fengzhi from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School asked, "Uncle Bone, Uncle Sword, just how strong are these soul beasts?"
Chen Xin replied, "Very strong. The Spirit Hall is indeed in trouble this time."
Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, "Even if the Spirit Hall wants to win, it won't be easy for them. Of course, it would be best if both sides were severely injured. The Spirit Hall's strength is too great, it doesn't fit the continent's balance. Even if all sides unite, we are no match for the Spirit Hall. They shouldn't be so powerful. We can use these soul beasts to weaken the Spirit Hall."
Chen Xin said, "Sect Master, have you considered the possibility of the Spirit Hall losing?"
"If the Spirit Hall loses, if the Spirit Hall is destroyed by these soul beasts, then it will be our turn to face these terrifying soul beasts."
Hearing Chen Xin's words, Ning Fengzhi stroked his chin and said, "It shouldn't be. The Spirit Hall has at least two Limit Douluos, and this is the Spirit Hall's home turf. The soul beasts can't defeat the Spirit Hall."
"In this battle, the Spirit Hall will likely suffer the loss of one Limit Douluo and dozens of Title Douluos, paying a heavy price to repel the spirit beasts' attack."
"Then, we'll manipulate public opinion, ignite a fire, and make the Spirit Hall fight the spirit beasts even more fiercely, further weakening their strength."
Chen Xin, seeing Gu Rong's words, said nothing more.
The Spirit Hall reacted swiftly; Pope Bibi Dong, numerous elders, and a host of Title Douluos, including An Zhongdao, all mobilized!
This time, all factions finally witnessed the Spirit Hall's true power.
Four Limit Douluos: Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong, An Zhongdao, and Tian'e!
There were also dozens of Super Douluos, and countless Title Douluos cultivated by the Spirit Hall!
Seeing this, the other factions gasped in shock, simultaneously feeling fortunate. Thanks to the spirit beast crisis, they truly didn't know the Spirit Hall had accumulated such terrifying power in such a short time.
Such power was despair-inducing.
Even if Ning Fengzhi united five times the strength of all forces on the continent, they might not be able to put up a fight against the Spirit Hall.
Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but feel relieved.
He said, "In this battle, the Spirit Hall will lose at least some Title Douluos."
However, the subsequent battle was hard for everyone to accept.
Just as the two sides were about to clash, a huge projection of the Angel God descended from the Spirit City behind them. She blocked the impending battle, locking her sword onto the Spirit Beasts.
The Spirit Beasts were still in shock when Di Tian brought Dragon God scales, which transformed into a shield to block the Angel God's attack!
Realizing that the Spirit City had the Angel God's protection, Di Tian and the other Spirit Beast representatives retreated reluctantly. The Spirit Hall and the Spirit Beasts did not fight to the death, but instead agreed to a 25-year truce.
On the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School side, Ning Fengzhi was furious. He was red-faced and panting heavily.
The Spirit Hall has four Limit Douluos and so many Super Douluos. On the other hand, the Spirit Beasts have sent so many super ferocious beasts and 100,000-year-old Spirit Beasts. Why aren't you fighting?
Why aren't you fighting? If you don't fight to the death, how will we have a chance?
Just now, when Ning Fengzhi saw the Spirit Hall's all-out attack, he gasped in shock, but he still looked forward to this war.
Ideally, both sides would fight to the death, and all four Limit Douluos of the Spirit Hall would perish, and all the Title Douluos would be weakened to only a quarter of their original strength.
However—not even a fight has been fought. Not a single Title Douluo from the Spirit Hall has fallen. A 25-year ceasefire—what does that mean?
The Spirit Hall isn't fighting the Spirit Beasts anymore, isn't fighting them to the death.
Haven't the younger generation of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Clear Sky School been ruined? If you don't fight the Spirit Beasts to the death, with your overwhelming strength, how can we resist you?
Just as Ning Fengzhi was collapsing, the divine power moved. The phantom of the Angel God spread her divine power to all corners of the world, reminding people once again of the glory of the Angel God.
Some knelt and wept, some returned to their gods to repent for their actions, and some prayed for the Angel God's protection!
"The Angel God! It's the Angel God!"
"A miracle! The Angel God has driven away the soul beasts!"
"Praise be to the great Angel God!"
"My people, the arrival of the soul beast crisis is a test for you. Unfortunately, I cannot help you for the time being, but the Spirit Hall will grant you a new way to obtain soul rings. Within 25 years, a new Angel God will descend, and she will end this soul beast crisis."
"However, those who attempt to take advantage of this crisis, stir up trouble, and profit from it will not be protected by the Angel God!"
Having resolved the issue of soul rings and offered a grand promise to the millions of people of Douluo Continent, the phantom of the Angel God disappeared.
In the Douluo Continent, nothing is more convincing than a miracle. While the millions of people on the Douluo Continent might be influenced by the opinions of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and others, the conspiracy of the anti-Spirit Hall alliance completely collapsed after the angel god's miracle descended.
While people worshipped the angel god, the participants in the demonstrations lived in constant fear, worried that they had lost the angel god's protection because of their participation.
At this time, the Spirit Hall quickly used the influence of the miracle to proclaim to the world that while the law wouldn't punish the masses, it would punish the ringleaders, the organizers, and initiators, who would regain the angel god's protection.
As a result, people went crazy, and the denunciation campaign began. The organizers of the event, such as Cai, Luo, Huang, and Wu, were directly denounced and escorted to the Spirit Hall by the angry crowd.
The Spirit Hall then adopted a mechanism for judging guilt by trial.
These people, bound and interrogated by the people at the Spirit Hall, confessed the truth out of fear of the Angel God:
There was an anti-Spirit Hall alliance on the continent who were using this incident to instigate conflict, hoping the Spirit Hall would fight the spirit beasts to the death. They planned to use the bloodshed to clear paths and re-enter the forests to hunt spirit beasts, while simultaneously weakening the Spirit Hall and gaining leverage in future anti-Spirit Hall wars.
