Although the Tianhun royal family and nobles were aggrieved, they did not dare to make any mistakes and had no objections to the new emperor's ascension to the throne. They obediently made all the preparations as required. The court also resumed normal operations.
In addition, the top management of Tianhun took the initiative and resolutely signed a soul contract with Su Luoheng, ensuring that the Tianhun Empire would completely obey the orders of the Sun and Moon Empire from now on.
Everything was happy, at least from Su Luoheng's point of view. The senior officials of Tianhun Empire were very aware of current affairs, and they took the initiative to do everything well without saying anything.
They knew that if they broke up with the Sun and Moon Empire, it was hard to say what would happen to the Heavenly Soul Empire, but none of them would be able to escape. Only by signing a contract could they save their lives.
Taking a step back, even if they don't agree, someone will agree. Taking a step back, even if the empire's top officials are all good and loyal ministers, the Sun and Moon Empire does not have this only option. In this case, occupying the sky
The Soul Empire is only a thought.
Don't get confused, the puppet emperor is not a compromise for the Sun and Moon Empire, but a chance for them to survive and show their own value.
The empire's autonomy and its own life must always be preserved.
Now that the former cannot be saved, one’s life must be saved, right?
Therefore, under the joint cover of the Tianhun royal family and nobles, this war of aggression started by the Sun and Moon Empire was eventually defined as a just war to aid the internal reform of the Tianhun Empire, and all issues were brought to the fore.
Wei Lin's head.
Since everyone is already dead, it’s not too much to take advantage of them, right?
The reason why the Sun and Moon Empire chose to support the puppet emperor instead of taking advantage of the situation to occupy Tianhun City was the final decision made by Su Luoheng, Xu Jinyu and Kong Deming after careful consideration.
The purpose of unifying the continent is to use the power of Douluo Continent to integrate resources and population, reproduce super-ancient soul guidance technology, create a series of soul guidance tools for the God Realm such as Ragnarok, and respond to crises.
And, to avoid intentional people from stabbing in the back, interfering with the plan, or even exposing the super-ancient soul guidance technology, triggering the God Realm in advance, and encircling the mainland again.
Before that, the base camp Douluo Continent must be built into an iron plate.
Therefore, Su Luoheng started the war to unify the continent.
If you think about it, the Sun and Moon Empire can indeed directly occupy the Sky Soul Empire. However, this will inevitably arouse the resistance of the people of the Sky Soul Empire. By then, public resentment will boil, war will continue, and the situation will become out of control.
Land is easy to get, but people's hearts are hard to come by.
No matter how corrupt the Tianhun Empire is, they have ruled this land for thousands of years. Their influence is deep-rooted and cannot be eliminated overnight.
It will undoubtedly take a lot of time to fully master it.
Moreover, during this period, the resistance of the Heavenly Soul Empire will inevitably restrict the energy and time of the Sun and Moon Empire. The population and resources will continue to be consumed internally. This is definitely an extremely bad situation.
Therefore, the advantages of occupying the Tianhun Empire outweigh the disadvantages. This will be a long-term and unpredictable loss.
Therefore, after the discussion between Su Luoheng and the others, they chose a method that could achieve the effect without causing hatred among the people of the Tianhun Empire - supporting the puppet emperor.
The Sun and Moon Empire does not need to invest too much energy. As long as they control the top management of the Sky Soul Empire, they can easily achieve their goals.
Generally speaking, this kind of plan is very unstable, because people's hearts are unpredictable, and even if there is force and coercion, they may still be stabbed in the back at any time.
But the soul contract mastered by Su Luoheng solved his worries.
…
…
late at night.
Thousands of miles away from Tianhun City, on the top of the mountain.
In the dark night sky, the stars are hidden in the clouds and mist, lighting up little by little, as if they are about to emerge from the gaps in the clouds at any time.
The full moon in the sky emits a weak white light, which shines on the earth, lighting up Su Luoheng's tired eyes. A few strands of hair on the temples glow with silver light under the moonlight, like the Milky Way flowing down.
He raised his arms as if to block the moonlight, but then stopped, slowly closed his eyes, and quietly felt the comfort of the evening breeze on his face.
At this moment, he seemed to merge into the space between heaven and earth. The spirit that had been tense since the beginning of the war finally relaxed at this moment.
The sound of tiny footsteps was transmitted very clearly in the silent night.
The Snow Emperor wore a white cloak and walked to Su Luoheng's side. He stared quietly. It took a long time, until Su Luoheng opened his eyes, and then she slowly spoke, with a hint of softness in her soft voice.
Feeling distressed.
"Tired?"
The person who understands Su Luoheng best in the world is probably the Snow Emperor. Even Su Junran and his wife don't know how much pressure and responsibility Su Luoheng is carrying in his heart.
"Not tired, just a little tired." Su Luoheng smiled faintly, with a warm curve at the corner of his mouth.
Snow Emperor sighed. He wanted to say that you have done enough and you don't have to shoulder all the responsibilities on yourself. But when the words came to his lips, they turned into a low sigh.
Because she knew that Su Luoheng would say: My responsibility should have been shouldered by me. If my efforts can help the people I cherish to live a safe and happy life, then that would be great.
Even if you sacrifice yourself...
Because that's how he responded.
Thinking of this, the Snow Emperor took off his cloak and spread it on the ground.
Then she sat cross-legged and patted the place next to her to signal Su Luoheng.
Su Luoheng immediately sat beside him, resting his head on the Snow Emperor's knees, half lying down.
Looking at the starry night sky.
The Snow Emperor stretched out his hand, covered his forehead with slender white jade fingers, and rubbed it gently. The cold and soft fingertips, with a refreshing coolness, instantly reduced Su Luoheng's fatigue.
He reached out sideways and gently hugged Snow Emperor's slender and soft waist, placing his face against Snow Emperor's lower abdomen. The elegant and familiar fragrance lingered between his nose, and accompanied by Snow Emperor's cold breath, it made people feel extremely comfortable.
He closed his eyes and enjoyed the tranquility and warmth.
The two of them sat quietly like this, no one said anything. Only the night wind whistled, lifting the clothes and fluttering, making a rustling sound, indicating the tranquility here.
Under the moonlight, the strand of white hair on the temples looked particularly eye-catching.
The hair was fluttering in the wind, and Snow Emperor's heart trembled slightly. She stretched out her hand and brushed it gently.
He was only seventeen years old... He was still young and full of energy. But he had to bear so much pain and responsibility, and lived so hard.
Although there were only a few scattered strands in that tuft of white hair, Snow Emperor seemed to see in it the lonely scene of him working hard for the future, with his head full of gray hair, haggard mentally, and exhausted.
For a moment, my heart felt extremely sour and my eyes were slightly red.
