[And because I used the eighth Spirit Ability of my Double Pupil Martial Soul: Curse of Destiny, to curse their Spirits, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul degraded into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul became such that only two could exist at the same time.]
[Therefore, on the base of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and on the back of the flowers of the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul, the brand of my Double Pupil Martial Soul was imprinted.]
"As expected!"
"So the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Nine Heart Begonia Family became like this because of Lord Lin Hanjue!"
Xie Yue was profoundly shaken.
Although he had this suspicion from the beginning.
At that time, he felt that perhaps Lin Hanjue had cursed the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and Nine Heavens Begonia Sect after becoming a god, causing them to become the current Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Nine Heart Begonia Family.
But he never expected that Lin Hanjue used the eighth Spirit Ability brought by the sacrifice of the Three-Eyed Golden Ferret Ming Lingxiang: Curse of Destiny, to turn the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and Nine Heavens Begonia Sect into the current Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Nine Heart Begonia Family.
A destiny-type Spirit Ability was simply too powerful!
Such great power was almost no different from that of a Divinity!
Beside him, Qian Renxue took a deep breath and said.
"Once we finish reading the contents of this notebook."
"I will find a way to go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Nine Heart Begonia Family to see if there is a brand of the Double Pupil on the base of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and the back of the Nine Heart Begonia petals."
"If it is true, then the contents of these notebooks are most likely true as well!"
[After using the Curse of Destiny to curse the remnants of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Nine Heavens Begonia Sect in the southern Sun Moon Empire.]
[Causing the martial souls of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School remnants to forever degrade into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and the martial souls of the remnants of the Nine Heavens Begonia Sect to almost entirely disappear, such that only two Nine Heart Begonia Spirit Masters could appear in each generation.]
[I set out once again, heading for the northern part of the Douluo Continent.]
[After arriving in the north of the Douluo Continent, I found that the situation here had changed significantly since I left a few years ago.]
[The Eight Great Evil Soul Master Organizations that originally occupied the north of the Douluo Continent seemed to have realized that continuing the chaos in the north was not beneficial to them, nor was it convenient for continuously acquiring commoners as cultivation resources.]
[Therefore, after discussion, these Eight Great Evil Soul Master Organizations formed a nominal state entity.]
[Because the Sun Moon Empire in the south inherited the name of the Sun Moon Empire.]
[To stand in opposition, the Eight Great Evil Soul Master Organizations named their state entity: the Eternal Night Empire.]
[And to celebrate their previous victory over the Sun Moon Empire and the occupation of the northern territories of the Douluo Continent.]
[They designed a special identity for the Spirit Master Sects, families, and Great Nobles who had defected to them—one that was different from commoners and second only to the Evil Soul Masters themselves—called the Qing Clan!]
[In the Eternal Night Empire, the status of the Qing Clan is second only to the Evil Soul Masters; they are born superior to ordinary people and ordinary Spirit Masters, possessing various privileges, such as: killing people is not against the law, and they can rule over all commoners within their territory.]
[Unless a rebellion against the Eternal Night Empire occurs in the area they rule, the Evil Soul Masters will not interfere.]
[Of course, where there are benefits, there are responsibilities.]
[The responsibility of these Qing Clan members is to offer up a sufficient amount of the population and money every year to the Eight Great Evil Soul Master Organizations of the Eternal Night Empire.]
[In addition, the Eternal Night Empire established an official system of selling offices and titles.]
[As long as one offers a certain amount of population and money to the Eternal Night Empire officials formed by the Eight Great Evil Soul Master Organizations, they can take up a certain official position to rule a region, and even upgrade their noble titles to make their territory larger.]
[Upon learning of these things, I was practically laughing from rage.]
[Now, I finally understand why the Evil Soul Masters were suddenly able to gain a foothold in the north and even hold the initiative and advantage in the war against the southern Sun Moon Empire.]
[First, these Evil Soul Masters are likely still colluding in secret with moles and traitors within the southern Sun Moon Empire, exchanging looks and receiving internal information.]
[Second, there is the help from those Overseas Barbarian Kingdoms.]
[Third, these Evil Soul Masters bought off the Spirit Master Sects, Spirit Master families, and Great Nobles in the north of the Douluo Continent, winning their cooperation with profit, which ended the turmoil.]
[Instead, these people began to help the Evil Soul Masters, jointly supporting this disgusting Eternal Night Empire.]
[Compared to the southern Sun Moon Empire, where I still had some self-restraint regarding killing.]
[In these northern lands occupied by the Evil Soul Masters of the Douluo Continent, I had no scruples whatsoever.]
[Since these Spirit Master Sects, Spirit Master families, and Great Nobles chose to help the Eight Great Evil Soul Master Organizations, not hesitating to sell their consciences for profit to help the Evil Soul Masters and bring disaster to their own country and compatriots.]
[I transformed into a ghost and began a massive slaughter of these traitors across the north of the Douluo Continent.]
[I saw these traitors, for the sake of profit and to be superior ones, not hesitate to betray their ancestors, even going so far as to shave the hair around their heads and braid the hair in the middle into a long rope, adopting the slave look of the Evil Soul Masters.]
[At the same time, lapping it up, they boastfully began to brainwash the Sun Moon Empire people in their territories with the idea that being a slave to the Evil Soul Masters was not necessarily a bad thing.]
[Although life had returned to a primitive state, personal safety was not guaranteed, and they lived a life worse than death.]
[But here, they had gained freedom!]
[For those who forget their ancestors, I had only one approach: kill!]
[Not only would I kill them, but I would also use my external Spirit Bone: Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger Tail Hook to devour the flesh and blood of these traitors, letting them die in pain and wailing.]
[And as for their souls, I collected them into the Absolute World, decomposing them alive into soul power.]
[In addition, in a large city, I saw something even more infuriating.]
[That is, many Large Spirit Master Sects, Large Spirit Master Families, and Great Nobles who had sided with the Evil Soul Masters had joined forces to confiscate books from the Sun Moon remnants everywhere.]
[Regardless of the book, they were all burned to ashes, and the Sun Moon remnants were forbidden from teaching their children any knowledge, especially history and soul tool technology.]
[If discovered, it meant death!]
[And these people were even tampering with history, saying that this continent had always been so dark and ignorant, that the ancients of the previous Empire were naturally stupid, greedy, and selfish, and it was their internal vying for power and profit that led to their defeat.]
[As for before that, civilization did not even exist.]
[They, the Evil Soul Masters and the Qing Clan, had seized the world through strength; therefore, they were naturally noble and the natural masters of ordinary people.]
[The masters held the power over life and death, and the commoners should just accept it!]
[And the long rope at the back of their heads was the ancestral law, something they were naturally meant to wear.]
[Seeing this, I was consumed by a towering rage. Almost unable to contain my fury, I charged straight in and killed all those who were modifying history and compiling falsehoods.]
[Using the Heaven and Earth Cage, I crushed them into a pulp, devoured their flesh and blood, and collected their souls into the Absolute World.]
