Dai Feng's words drew everyone's attention in the hall to leader Xu Chunxing, waiting for the strongest among them to make a decision.
Xu Mingxi had made his choice, and the Star Crown Sect would naturally follow him. The sect leader looked at Dai Feng and nodded heavily.
News that the Star Luo Empire had agreed to cooperate and jointly attack Spirit Hall within three days was brought back to the Heaven Dou Empire's tent by Luo Yi.
Upon hearing this news, Tang San's expression—which had been grim for days—finally eased slightly. He waved his hand for Luo Yi to leave, leaving only Tang Hao and Tang Xiao at his side.
"Father, the decisive battle will happen in three days."
"Yes. We can't wait any longer, and Grandfather can't hold on much longer either."
Following Tang Hao's words, Tang San looked at his great-grandfather Tang Chen, who stood beside him with no expression, and bitterness surged in his heart.
He had thought that after Spirit Hall retreated, he could take his time cultivating until he was strong enough to take revenge.
However, he never expected that just one day later, Tang Hao would sharply notice that Tang Chen's aura had weakened slightly.
The three of them invited Senior Bo Saixi, and she confirmed that Tang Chen's power was slowly declining, and no one knew how far it would fall.
Because of this, Tang San and the others decided to launch the war as soon as possible and end the battle while Tang Chen's strength was still at the Peerless Douluo level, capable of suppressing Qian Daoliu.
Otherwise, once Tang Chen weakened, they would return to the situation where Bo Saixi was surrounded by Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong.
Tang San felt a trace of fear remembering that time. He didn't want to be in a situation where death could strike at any moment.
Heaven Dou and Star Luo officially formed an alliance, and both sides began actively preparing for war. Meanwhile, Golden Crocodile Douluo quietly arrived at the Tiandou battlefield. He simply couldn't believe the Grand Priest and Bibi Dong would lose.
He entered the City Lord's Mansion at Jialing Pass full of energy, but that energy was immediately drained by the fierce quarrel inside.
"Qian Daoliu, this war failed all because of you. If you hadn't stopped Bo Saixi, I would've dealt with Tang San long ago!"
Golden Crocodile walked into the hall and saw Qian Daoliu sitting silently in his seat while Bibi Dong stood at the center of the hall, furiously lashing out.
Indeed, he had failed to stop Bo Saixi. Knowing he was in the wrong, Qian Daoliu had no way to refute her. He hadn't expected Tang Chen to appear at the last moment.
In his plan, Bo Saixi and Bibi Dong should've both been injured. He would have then stepped in, crippled them, and killed Tang San.
"All right, Bibi Dong. What matters now is what we do next.
When I arrived, I saw movements from the Heaven Dou forces. They may launch an attack soon."
Golden Crocodile's words finally made Qian Daoliu open his closed eyes, a hint of surprise showing in them.
He never thought Heaven Dou would act so quickly. The difference in strength between the two sides wasn't that great. Weren't they afraid of dying?
The titled Douluo in the hall looked to Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong, hoping the true rulers of Spirit Hall would devise a plan.
"Golden Crocodile, how did you get here? Is the Star Luo battlefield going well?"
"It's relatively stable, but there's one thing we need to watch out for. Xingchen Douluo from the Star Crown Sect has a domain far too powerful for the Star Crown Spirit Masters.
He, along with two other Star Crown Spirit Masters, actually managed to hold off me, Qingluan, and Guangling.
If he's given more time to grow, perhaps in ten or twenty years, even I may not be his match."
Recalling Xu Mingxi on the Star Luo battlefield, Golden Crocodile felt a deep sense of fear. This time, it wasn't Xingchen Douluo who stopped him—but a much younger version.
He could sense that Xu Mingxi's spirit power had already reached level 97. That speed was beyond imagination.
Golden Crocodile described his battle with Xu Mingxi to all the other Titled Douluo present, which struck them all hard in their hearts.
The elders of Spirit Hall finally realized that the era of Spirit Hall had fully ended—they were no longer the unmatched rulers of the continent.
Qian Daoliu once again regretted in his heart that he didn't go straight to the Star Crown Sect from the beginning, which led to today's situation.
"Golden Crocodile, return to the Star Luo battlefield. Strengthen your defenses over the next few days, and don't give the enemy any openings."
"Yes."
After Golden Crocodile left, Qian Daoliu personally flew high into the sky to observe the Tiandou camp from an undetectable altitude. Just as Golden Crocodile said, the troops were mobilizing rapidly.
He returned to the City Lord's Mansion, and the titled Douluo there, seeing his grim expression, understood what it meant.
"Everyone, this will be a matter of life and death for Spirit Hall. I hope we all meet again after the war."
Everyone dispersed. Bibi Dong, seated in the primary seat without saying a word, had a mysterious light in her eyes.
The previous war, especially the death of Sea Dragon Douluo, had allowed her Death Spiral to collect enough corpse energy—enough to resurrect two or three Titled Douluo.
However, the timing of that resurrection would depend on her will.

What happened in the mortal realm, especially around Tang San, was all visible to the God of Shura in the Divine Realm.
He sensed the divine power he left in Tang Chen weakening, and just as he intended to replenish it, the temple doors slowly pushed open from outside.
The God of Shura looked displeased and was about to scold the intruder when he saw the Rakshasa God enter gracefully, her eyes filled with undisguised joy.
"Rakshasa, how dare you barge into my Shura Temple uninvited?"
"Oh my, how could I be braver than the mighty God King Shura? In the mortal realm, he interferes at will just by saying so."
The Shura God's face immediately darkened. He saw the God of Destruction enter from outside with overwhelming presence and knew the Rakshasa must have gone to report him.
"Shura, I need an explanation. Why did you interfere in the mortal realm? As the God King of Law Enforcement, you know you broke divine law. What punishment should you receive?"
At this point, no explanation would help. Shura's face turned pale. He knew that no matter the reason, he had indeed intervened in the lower world. Now that the God of Destruction had caught him, he wouldn't escape punishment.
"Destruction, I did it for the people of the Douluo Continent. If the war ends sooner, their suffering will be reduced."
"Such compassion for the people—then why not let the angelic legions unify the continent?
Very well, Shura. I won't argue with you. Step down as God of Law Enforcement."
"Impossible. There can only be one Law Enforcement God in the Divine Realm—and that is me, Shura."
