Chapter 212 Lin Yi's Death Plan
Even with the support of the Sun Moon Empire's treasury, Huo Yuhao and the Sun Moon Empire's alchemists still spent five full days refining the pills to meet Mingdu's current needs.
The initial reassurance of the injured residents has been completed, and Kong Deming immediately stated that Huo Yuhao would not need to exert any further effort.
Just as he had heard in Mingdu, Xu Tianyuan was chosen by the Hall of Worship to become the new emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire.
However, Kong Deming did not kill Xu Tianran.
Kong Deming and the Hall of Offerings joined forces to seal Xu Tianran's martial spirit and soul power, thus saving his life.
They wanted to wait until Huo Yuhao was able to refine a pill that could restore fertility, and then try to have Xu Tianran pass on the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul.
Of course, as for the common people, the Hall of Offerings naturally declared that Xu Tianran was dead, and arranged for a palace eunuch to wear Xu Tianran's human skin mask, so that Xu Tianyuan could behead the man in front of the people of the Sun and Moon.
Whether the people of the Sun Moon Empire believed it or not, this matter has finally come to a hasty end.
Xu Tianran was resentful of this arrangement, but he could only accept it helplessly.
For him, as long as he is still alive, there is a sliver of hope for a comeback.
Xu Tianyuan decided to hold his coronation ceremony together with the completion of the Creation Hall.
This would both showcase the new dynasty's spirit and provide an opportunity to bring Lin Yi, the rising star of the empire, into the public eye.
Xu Tianyuan and the Hall of Offerings have decided that Huo Yuhao's Transformation Qi Refining Furnace will serve as the imperial sacrificial vessel at the coronation ceremony, and that the talisman puppet, a humanoid soul tool, will be refined in front of all people, thus demonstrating the Sun Moon Empire's soul tool capabilities to the entire continent.
Their goal was to show the Douluo Three Kingdoms that even though the Sun Moon Empire had experienced the undead calamity and the great explosion, the empire's soul-guided technology remained standing, and was even better than before.
The Sun and Moon Empire desperately needs a morale-boosting celebration to wash away the gloom of the past few days.
Just as the construction of the Creation Hall was in full swing, Wang Changming and Ye Yulin, who had been away from Mingdu for half a month, finally returned after capturing a Devouring Dragon.
When asked how to obtain the Soul Ring of the Devouring Dragon, Huo Yuhao replied, "The Ice and Fire Creation Furnace absorbs Soul Rings in a slightly different way. I need to place the Soul Ring in the furnace to refine it before it can perfectly match the ice and fire attributes."
Wang Changming had no doubts about Huo Yuhao's words.
So when Huo Yuhao killed the Devouring Dragon and immediately absorbed its spirit ring to evolve into the Qi Refining Furnace, he began to analyze the spirit ring's energy.
He sat cross-legged in front of the Qi Refining Furnace, where red and blue flames intertwined and surged as he devoted himself to refining the thousand-year-old soul ring.
Huo Yuhao deliberately slowed down the refining process to comprehend the changes in the Qi within.
In the end, Huo Yuhao even put the Devouring Dragon's corpse directly into the Transformation Refining Furnace.
"I can improve the quality of the soul power in my soul rings in this way."
Wang Changming had no doubts: "The empire needs you the most right now."
"If you want, even if it's one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts in the future, the Empire will bring fixed-position soul-guided shells to hunt souls for you."
Huo Yuhao thanked Wang Changming and then quietly began to contemplate the changes in Qi within him.
As the Devouring Dragon Soul Ring gradually decomposed in the furnace, wisps of energy began to churn within it.
Unfortunately, the data provided by a single soul beast was ultimately too little, and Huo Yuhao did not gain much insight into it.
Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly: "If we want to thoroughly study the aura of soul beasts, we really have to rely on the sea soul beasts on the ocean."
He put away the Qi Refining Furnace and simulated a deep purple soul ring on it, symbolizing his breakthrough to become a Soul Master.
"Old Wang."
Huo Yuhao said, "The soul skill is called Devouring Vortex, which can greatly enhance the devouring and transformation capabilities of the Ice and Fire Creation Furnace."
"I have a vague feeling that after obtaining the Soul Skill Devouring Vortex, the Ice and Fire Creation Furnace will soon evolve into a dual-extreme system."
Huo Yuhao began to create a plausible reason for Lin Yi's death.
Looking at the four-meter-diameter chemical refining furnace, Wang Changming laughed and said, "It's really starting to look like a national treasure."
"When the coronation ceremony is held, that will be the moment you become famous throughout the world."
"Your Ice and Fire Creation Furnace will become the symbol of the new dynasty, standing alongside the Sun and Moon Flag."
"It's fate, really. Ice and fire, sun and moon, yin and yang, you are simply a gift from heaven to the future of the sun and moon."
At this point, a hint of melancholy flashed in Wang Changming's eyes: "It's just a pity that I won't live to see the day you receive a title and are appointed as the Imperial Preceptor."
"These are the complete blueprints for the Wall of Eternal Sighs. Keep them safe. I hope you can fix its flaws in the future and pass it down to future generations."
Huo Yuhao silently accepted the blueprints.
"I will do my best to research elixirs that can extend lifespan."
Wang Changming smiled and said, "I'm very satisfied that you have this thought in mind."
"But I have at most two years left to live, and I won't live to see that day come."
"Furthermore, the Empire needs your energy to focus on the field of soul tools."
"The Sun Moon Empire has lost quite a few level-nine soul tools over the years. As far as the country is concerned, one more of mine won't make a difference."
Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Changming, remaining silent for a long time.
Finally, he bowed deeply and said, "I will always remember your teachings, senior."
"This Wall that forever imprisons sighs, I will certainly not let it be lost."
Wang Changming nodded with satisfaction.
He gently patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder with his withered hand: "Good boy. Come on, let's go see the construction progress of the Creation Hall, and see this future palace that belongs to you."
Huo Yuhao and Wang Changming walked through the streets of Mingdu, which were still under renovation.
People along the way bowed respectfully when they saw Huo Yuhao.
Since the explosion, the name Lin Yi has become a symbol of hope in the hearts of the residents of Mingdu.
"Master Lin!"
The residents of Mingdu spontaneously made way for Huo Yuhao, their eyes filled with respect and gratitude.
Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly and began to plan Lin Yi's death.
Wang Changming watched this scene with satisfaction: "The will of the people is the true pillar of the empire."
When they arrived at the construction site of the Creation Hall, the sight before them was breathtaking.
Thousands of Soul Masters are working together, using various sophisticated Soul Guidance Devices to precisely assemble metal components.
The building is already taking shape, and when viewed from above, it resembles a giant furnace.
A circular courtyard was reserved above the main hall in the center of the Zaohua Hall, which is where the Zaohua Hall logo is placed.
According to Xu Tianyuan's vision, a giant statue with a diameter of eleven meters, modeled after the Ice and Fire Creation Furnace, will be placed here.
"After Lin Yi becomes a Title Douluo, the diameter of the Ice and Fire Creation Furnace will reach ten meters."
"The Sun and Moon Empire chose eleven meters in diameter to signify its desire to surpass limits and to symbolize the endless pursuit of soul-guided technology."
The Creation Hall now bears not only the expectations of the Sun Moon Empire for Lin Yi's identity, but also the ambition of this country to revitalize itself.
The riots sparked by the struggle between the two princes, the trauma of the undead calamity, and the shadow of the Mingdu explosion —
The Sun and Moon Empire needs a tangible hope.
The Lin Yi that Huo Yuhao was impersonating was exactly the banner that the Sun Moon Empire needed right now.
If Huo Yuhao had stayed in the Sun Moon Empire, the Sun Moon Empire would have molded him into a Soul Master far surpassing Kong Deming.
In particular, that giant statue was actually a soul guide device designed and built by the entire sacrificial hall.
The Sun and Moon Empire does not require it to have any power.
They only hoped that this soul tool could operate day and night, symbolizing the enduring hope of the Sun Moon Empire.
Huo Yuhao looked up at the statue not far away and remained silent.
He knew better than anyone how devastating the blow would be to the Sun Moon Empire when Lin Yi's banner fell.
Xu He is dead, Xu Tianran is imprisoned, Xiao Hongchen is crippled, and some of the young talents of the Sun and Moon Team are killed in an explosion.
If Lin Yi were to die, the future of the Sun Moon Empire would be shrouded in a deep shadow.
"Ultimately, it's a matter of different stances," Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly.
After leaving the construction site, Huo Yuhao returned to his experiments.
Xuan Ziwen is busy here right now, with Meng Hongchen and Ju Zi helping him.
Xu Tianyuan and Gongfengtang did not impose many restrictions on oranges.
Her soul power lacked resilience, and her talent as a soul master was only good enough to do well, but she couldn't cause any real trouble.
When Meng Hongchen saw Huo Yuhao return, her eyes lit up.
She hurried forward, her eyes filled with joy as she looked at Huo Yuhao: "Lord Lin, you're back!"
Ju Zi stood beside the lab bench, glanced at Huo Yuhao with a complicated expression, and then quickly lowered her head to continue working.
Ever since witnessing Xu Tianran's beheading, she has become taciturn, and no one knows what she is thinking.
After talking with Meng Hongchen for a while, Huo Yuhao turned his attention to Xuan Ziwen.
Through more than half a month of continuous probing, Huo Yuhao has realized that Xuan Ziwen does not have a strong sense of belonging to the Sun Moon Empire.
He was an extremely pure idealist, obsessed with the research of soul tools.
Huo Yuhao decided that he would reveal everything to Xuan Ziwen once the Creation Hall was completed.
After using cultivation as an excuse to escape the mortal world, Huo Yuhao began to devise a plan to kill Lin Yi.
He looked at the ethereal furnace that was quietly floating in his hand.
"Normally, I can only barely control one of the ice and fire dragon spirits in this Ice and Fire Creation Furnace."
"Now that the two have manifested simultaneously, and even merged into one great dragon, it is truly beyond the students' control."
The words he had once spoken to Kong Deming echoed in Huo Yuhao's heart.
"Near-ultimate ice and fire—"
Huo Yuhao lifted the Transformation Furnace: "By then, it should have evolved into its true ultimate form."
"Lin Yi was unable to control the ultimate dragon during the weapon forging process, and was ultimately killed by the backlash in full view of everyone."
"In the days to come, it's time to leave some seemingly plausible but ultimately flawed ideas for the Sun and Moon Empire."
Huo Yuhao stared at the intertwined red and blue flames in the furnace, his thoughts drifting to the Heavenly Soul Empire.
This undercover mission, which went completely off-plan and was full of unpredictable twists and turns, is about to come to an end.
