"In Lin Hanjue's past life, these Double Pupils were actually a trait that only a Heavenly Saint or a Saint King would possess?"
Qian Renxue couldn't help but be amazed, murmuring in her heart.
Because on their Douluo Continent, no such saying existed.
However, the owner of this notebook, Lin Hanjue, had actually awakened twin spirits—the Double Pupils and the heart of time and space—with an innate spirit power level of thirty, exceeding even God-bestowed Spirits.
Add to that the fact that Lin Hanjue could receive guidance from fate itself while hunting for spirit rings.
Qian Renxue couldn't help but wonder if Lin Hanjue was indeed a Child of Destiny born of their Douluo Continent, a Heavenly Saint.
He was just brought over from another World.
Otherwise, how could Lin Hanjue awaken Spirits with innate level thirty spirit power and even receive guidance from fate?
If the Imperial Auspicious Beast: Three-Eyed Golden lion gathered the providence of the Soul Beast Clan and was the natural Emperor and auspicious sign among beasts...
Then this Lin Hanjue gathered the providence of humanity, a natural Saint King born as an auspicious sign among men!
[Because I have innate level thirty spirit power, I can be said to be the strongest genius born on the Douluo Continent in ten thousand years.]
[I am also an orphan with a clean background who has received favors from the Sun Moon Imperial Family.]
[When I told the Dean that I wanted to join the Feathered Guard...]
[The Dean couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised and excited, immediately reporting this good news to Emperor Yang Chongtian.]
[In response, Yang Chongtian also immediately agreed and had the files sent down, appointing me as the Reserve Commander-in-Chief of the Feathered Guard.]
[In the Feathered Guard, I will hold a status second only to the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, with the power to mobilize all resources and forces of the Feathered Guard and browse various top-secret files and archives.]
[Afterward, while I continued to cultivate at the Sun Moon Junior Royal Academy, I also used my status as the Reserve Commander-in-Chief of the Feathered Guard to browse through various top-secret files.]
[Through these top-secret files and archives, I discovered that the situation of the Sun Moon Empire was even more dangerous than I had imagined.]
[Internally, the power and forces controlled by the Sun Moon Imperial Family are indeed the strongest.]
[However, in terms of Spirit Master strength, the Sun Moon Imperial Family still cannot single-handedly oppose the alliance of many top Sects and forces in the Spirit Master's world, such as the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Nine Heavens Begonia Sect, and the Radiant Angel Clan's Qian family.]
[In the secular World, the nobles are even more in cahoots. They selectively implement the various policies formulated by the Sun Moon Imperial Family—halving the good ones and doubling the bad ones.]
[Furthermore, they collude with each other to exploit the commoners in their territories to the extreme, all while using the name of the Sun Moon Imperial Family. They keep the benefits for themselves and pin the blame on the Imperial Family.]
[On the other hand, they deliberately suppress commoner Spirit Masters, restricting their growth and promotion, and even plot to eliminate commoner Spirit Masters who might be promoted to nobility, forcing many promising commoner Spirit Masters to turn into Evil Soul Masters.]
[This is also a very important reason why Evil Soul Masters continue to grow in strength.]
[At this time, the Sun Moon Empire has already developed spirit tool steamships and spirit tool warships, capable of long-distance ocean voyages. They have already found several new continents and established a tributary system with the human nations there.]
[Through ocean trade and the tributary system, the Sun Moon Imperial Family has made a fortune.]
[However, according to the top-secret data of the Feathered Guard, many Spirit Master forces and Great Nobles, from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School to the Nine Heavens Begonia Sect, are trying every means to sabotage the official ocean trade established by the Sun Moon Imperial Family to take the business for themselves.]
[Many pirate and bandit forces on the sea are supported by them.]
[Although the Sun Moon Imperial Family has found out, these matters involve too much. The Sun Moon Imperial Family can currently only deal with the moves as they come; they have no way to flip the table and take drastic action.]
[Perhaps, this is politics!]
[And these are not even the worst or most infuriating things.]
[The worst and most infuriating thing is that there is a mysterious force colluding with various Evil Soul Master organizations, helping these Evil Soul Masters kill people for cultivation, giving them various spirit tools, and even helping them evade official extermination and searches.]
[This is the root cause why these Evil Soul Master organizations have been impossible to wipe out in recent years and have grown stronger and stronger!]
[Seeing this, a phrase immediately came to my mind: 'Nurturing bandits to increase one's own importance'!]
[Those major forces hidden in the shadows might also know that the Sun Moon Imperial Family has long been aware of their secret actions, so they are doing their best to support these Evil Soul Masters, allowing these groups to continuously expand.]
[This way, with these Evil Soul Master organizations as enemies, the Sun Moon Empire needs to constantly work to exterminate them.]
[This leaves them with no way to flip the table on the major forces and carry out a thorough reshuffling!]
[But I don't understand. Aren't these forces afraid of nursing a tiger that will eventually turn on them? Aren't they worried that the Evil Soul Master organizations they support will expand too much and eventually lose control, destroying the Sun Moon Empire and killing them along with it?]
"Colluding with Evil Soul Masters... why would they do that?"
"In the Sun Moon Empire, don't they already possess an incomparably noble status and enjoy benefits unimaginable to ordinary people?"
"Why would they still collude with Evil Soul Masters and destroy everything?"
"What benefit is there in this for them?"
As the content continued to emerge on the notebook.
Hu Liena could understand the major forces and the many Great Nobles trying every means to exploit commoners and restrict the promotion of commoner Spirit Masters to prevent them from becoming new nobles and threatening their own status.
Hu Liena could understand that.
But discovering that there were forces secretly colluding with Evil Soul Master groups, betraying the interests of humanity and the Sun Moon Empire...
Hu Liena was simply furious, unable to tolerate it.
Because her and her brother Xie Yue's parents had unfortunately died in battle while exterminating Evil Soul Masters and fallen Spirit Masters.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have become orphans.
Growing up in the Spirit Hall's orphanage.
Seeing this, Qian Renxue's heart grew even heavier.
Because as the person who had replaced the Heaven Dou Empire's Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, if she successfully usurped the country and took the throne in the future...
Faced with similar situations, how should she handle it?
As the Young Mistress of the Qian family of the Spirit Hall, she was completely different from normal nobles.
She hoped that the lives of the commoners on the continent could get better and better.
However, in the Sun Moon Empire of ten thousand years ago, spirit tools had already developed to their peak, and they even possessed ocean trade capabilities, establishing a new trade system with nations on other overseas continents.
In the end, even that couldn't stop the secret sabotage of major forces, who even colluded with Evil Soul Masters to nurture bandits for their own importance.
In the future, after she becomes the new Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire...
Can she really make this World better and better?
[Regarding this, I pondered for a long time.]
[I found that the essence of all problems is actually interest!]
[And the essence of interest is actually money, currency!]
[Because no matter what it is, its value is priced in currency.]
[In my past life, a great philosopher once wrote a book called 'das kapital'.]
[There is a sentence in it that goes: 'Capital comes dripping from head to foot, from every pore, with blood and dirt.']
[But according to this philosopher's theory, capital is a concept that only emerged in modern times.]
[But I pondered for a long time and found that it might not be so.]
[The essence of capital is currency!]
[Capital is just a sign of currency and commerce moving toward maturity.]
[But did capital really not exist in ancient times?]
[I believe that once the use of currency moves toward maturity, capital is born.]
[I think that sentence should be said like this: From the moment currency is born, every pore oozes filthy blood!]
[And in this Sun Moon Empire, a nation with an ancient background yet full of modern atmosphere...]
[Although it is still considered ancient, monetary capital has actually been born.]
[Regardless of whether their identities are Spirit Master Sects and families or Great Nobles...]
[The instinct of capital makes them collude with each other, not hesitating to betray the country to maintain their own expansion and growth, to constantly obtain greater interests, and to eternally remain superior to others!]
[Even if the price is the destruction of this country, the destruction of this era, or even... the destruction of themselves!]
