Guan Yue was not the Hall Master.
But that wasn't a big problem.
Anyway, the real Hall Master was also imprisoned, so the position would definitely have to be relinquished. Su Ming accepted this fact rather easily.
"In short, heading to the Abyssal battlefield early is not a bad thing for you."
After some thought, Su Ming still gave Guan Yue an indirect push.
The Abyssal battlefield wasn't purely a prison either. Because some "cells" were contested, like the number one position facing the Abyss directly. While bearing the greatest pressure, one could also benefit from it.
Resisting the erosion of Abyssal energy was itself a tempering process. Su Ming also allowed them to use the grand formation to temper their Martial Souls.
Staying in the number one position for a long time truly offered a chance to temper one's Martial Soul to the level of a divine artifact.
Especially after devouring two Abyssal Emperors, the probability became very high.
And as long as the Martial Soul was tempered into a divine artifact, breaking through to godhood would be stable. If anything was still lacking, it would definitely be the breakthrough of the plane itself.
In the original work, Guan Yue was among the first batch to break through to the god-level after Douluo Planet shattered the divine-level restrictions.
The reason was that he truly felt that sense of sublimation while resisting the Abyss. He had genuinely broken through, even if it was only a brief sublimation, showing only a fleeting moment of brilliance.
Having one's Martial Soul become a divine artifact was no less effective than that.
After a long silence, Guan Yue asked a question.
"After I leave, are you going to demand Eternal Paradise?"
Su Ming looked at him with surprise.
Just when Guan Yue thought Su Ming was surprised because he had been seen through, Su Ming uttered something he considered as a matter of course.
"At this time, shouldn't such a weapon of mass destruction be providing deterrence on the front lines?"
Hiding it away would instead make its effect minimal.
Guan Yue was stunned.
"I will obtain Eternal Paradise, and I will also deploy Eternal Paradise at the Abyssal battlefield as a deterrent. Otherwise, facing the pressure of the Abyssal Sage King alone would be immense for me. And..."
Su Ming hesitated for a moment but still didn't voice the subsequent arrangements.
In short, before specific implementation, he would inform everyone in advance.
But there was no need to announce it now.
Guan Yue sighed.
He now wanted to stop it but felt powerless.
Su Ming's prestige within the Federation during this period was too high.
So high that if he convened a Federation council meeting and had the current council vote on a decision, the result would undoubtedly be what he wanted.
"I will head there as soon as possible."
Su Ming got himself listed in the War God Hall, waiting only for Guan Yue to leave before communicating with Chen Xinjie to obtain the position of Hall Master.
He traveled throughout the Federation, visiting each major force. Every faction recorded in the Federation archives as having a Limit Douluo was visited by him.
While making these visits, Su Ming also convened a meeting in the Federation Council, exposing the existence of the Blood God Legion and initiating a universal conscription.
With this overall environment and his personal visits, few Limit Douluos actually refused.
At least up to now, only the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan forcefully kept one newly broken-through Limit Douluo.
On the Abyssal battlefield, they already had one Demigod, one of the only two Limit Douluos in the clan, of very senior generation. This was the limit of what their clan could contribute.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was quite straightforward, even sending many Seven-Ring, Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda Spirit Masters to join the battlefront.
According to their clan leader, Abyssal energy might be beneficial to their Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda Martial Souls.
Even Su Ming was taken aback by this reason.
As for the Clear Sky Clan...
Su Ming couldn't even enter the clan grounds. The demand he received from the Clear Sky Clan was to revoke the wanted order on Tang Wulin and retract any slander against the Sea God's image.
Su Ming wasn't about to indulge them. Without another word, he turned and left, even repatriating the Clear Sky Clan's Limit Douluo who was serving on the Abyssal battlefield.
Infected with Abyssal energy within the body?
Extraction.
I can help you extract it.
Furthermore, Su Ming finally announced the data on all Limit Douluos from across the Federation supporting the front lines, clearly informing everyone that the Clear Sky Clan had not contributed a single Limit Douluo.
As for the Clear Sky Clan's curses about him kicking away the ladder after crossing the river, Su Ming didn't care. At least he was past the stage where he needed to compromise.
As for causing faith-related issues through arbitrary actions, the constraints on Su Ming weren't significant. Because his faith was obtained from Douluo 3, but his status was preserved within the Trinity. Even if it was unilaterally canceled in Douluo 3, he wouldn't suffer backlash.
The current Federation was Su Ming's one-man show.
He could afford to be willful.
At worst, he could restart, collapse the entire True Future timeline, then use his spiritual domain to forcibly channel all his origin power into a brand new parallel world and rebuild a True Future from scratch.
He had seriously contemplated this idea in his mind.
After careful consideration, he even believed the necessity was quite high!
The Trinity, logically connecting three timelines, was his ultimate goal. And now, the situation in the True Future was quite different from the future evolved from Douluo 2...
Of course, this necessity existed and was high, but if he could avoid restarting, Su Ming was unwilling to take the risk.
After all, using his spiritual domain to invest all his power into a parallel world was theoretically feasible, but it was ultimately a gamble.
Su Ming's current situation was quite good. If he could avoid risks, he naturally preferred not to.
The attitudes of the former Three Great Clans varied, but other families and sects were very willing to join the Abyssal battlefield.
After all, the current situation was genuinely favorable for Douluo Planet.
Su Ming was only a Seven-Ring Spirit Sage!
This was a premise that could not be ignored!
When he was erupted with power threatening Quasi-Gods, he didn't even have Three-Word Battle Armor!
Time passed.
By the time Su Ming finished visiting all the factions in the Federation that had ever possessed a Limit Douluo, a month had gone by.
This round of recruitment directly added seven more Limit Douluos to the front lines.
Originally, on the Abyssal battlefield, there were already the first batch of Limits like Cao Dezhi, Chen Xinjie, Zhang Huanyun, Leng Yaoju, Tong Yu, etc., plus the second batch like the new and old Angels, Yu Guanzhi, the Scorching Sun Douluo, Guan Yue, etc. The number of Limit Douluos had already exceeded ten.
Mu Ye, who had briefly left, had also returned. Qian Gu Dieding was currently under investigation and had not left the battlefield either.
Now, with seven more Limit Douluos added, the frontline's limit-level combat power was pushed to twenty.
And this was after repatriating the Clear Sky Clan's Limit Douluo.
This wasn't even the full count.
Not counting the Clear Sky Clan, plus the several Fierce Beasts under Gu Yuena, as well as Da Ming, Er Ming, and the Yuan'en Family, this number could exceed thirty!
"No wonder some people still have the mind for internal strife," Su Ming sneered.
So there were this many Limit Douluos.
It wasn't that the Federation was unaware of the Abyss's threat, nor that they didn't understand the significance of the Abyss's thirty-six limit-level Emperors. It was that they knew Douluo Planet's foundation was indeed strong.
Oh right, there was also the Holy Spirit Cult.
If they really compared foundations, they would find Douluo Planet's limit-level combat power was truly no less than the Abyss's.
Su Ming returned to the War God Hall.
By now, Guan Yue had already left. Su Ming had also made Chen Xinjie step down and, after a vote in the Federation Council, assumed the position of War God Hall Master himself.
From then on, he no longer obsessed over other titles.
He transferred Eternal Paradise, moving it from the War God Hall to the front lines, placing it under the direct control of the Blood God Legion.
In his capacity as the president of the Blacksmith Association, he also initiated a recruitment task, summoning blacksmiths to the Blood God Legion.
One order after another was issued, solidifying the entire Federation into an unbreakable whole.
The snubbed Clear Sky Clan could only shut its gates, with no recourse.
Shrek Academy.
Sea God Pavilion.
"Yuan'en Yehui, we meet again."
Su Ming stood above the bare Sea God Island. Having had his back to Yuan'en Yehui, he turned around and greeted her.
Looking at Su Ming before her, Yuan'en Yehui couldn't help but feel dazed.
Su Ming, clearly three years younger than her, now almost held the entire Federation in his grasp.
