Chapter 168: A Snowy Night of Progress
After uncovering the conspiracy of the Xi pseudo-god cult, Zhuang Xingyu and his companions are about to leave the Barak Kingdom and return to the Jidao Yin-Yang Leopard Clan.

But the impact of the Xiwei Divine Religion's fraud has not ended. The Xiwei Divine Religion's plan to spend hundreds of millions of gold soul coins every year to invade and peacefully transform other forces has completely gone down the drain; those Xiwei Divine Religion members who infiltrated other forces to promote themselves and discredit others have also been seen through by the people, such as Lin Yi, who was specifically used to discredit the two empires, Ze Du, who was specifically used to discredit the Spirit Hall, and Yao Zai Nianqing, who was specifically used to discredit the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan... In the past two years, they brainwashed and deceived many young people in Douluo Continent, and even many people in Beiyuan were deceived.

However, lies will be exposed one day. Now, Zedu, Linyi, Yaozai Nianqing and others can no longer spread propaganda. They are like rats crossing the street, and everyone shouts and beats them. They are notorious. More and more people find that Xiwei Shenjiao is nothing. Xiwei Shenjiao was pressed to the ground by the extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan and rubbed wantonly without daring to fight back. They also had to compensate the extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan for many pieces of ten thousand year soul bones. They also fabricated false history to deceive the entire Douluo Continent and discredit the history of other forces. They are not strong enough and have no credibility at all.

However, Xiwei Aoxie's words sounded the alarm for forces without divine inheritance, such as the Tiandou Empire, the Xingluo Empire, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan.

In the Tiandou Empire's team, Xue Ye was teaching the prince his own way of emperor. As he was teaching, he sighed, "Qinghe, judging from the current situation, the four forces of the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan, the Spirit Hall, the Huangfu Family, and the Rare Pseudo-God Cult all have the inheritance of gods, and their backgrounds and strengths are unfathomable. Our Tiandou Imperial Family is already one level lower than them. Our Tiandou Empire is in danger!"

"My confidence increased after our royal family produced three Titled Douluo. I thought that with three titles and a million-strong army, even if we cannot reach the level of the Spirit Hall that dominated the entire Douluo Continent 3 years ago, we can still rank third after the Spirit Hall and the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan."

"At first, I was planning to drag down the five forces in the empire, namely the Huangfu Family, the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan, and the Rare Pseudo-God Cult, to let them check and balance each other, let them deal with the external challenges brought by the Spirit Hall and the Xingluo Empire, let them fight each other and perish together in the end, but the reality did not go in my way at all."

"Now it seems that we are lucky to be able to hold on to the foundation we have built over the past two years. What are these sects doing in our Tiandou Empire? The four lower sects are also joining in the fun. They should go to the Xingluo Empire! Now these sects are like a pair of scissors, tearing the Tiandou Empire apart. It's all the fault of the previous emperor!"

Xue Qinghe bowed and analyzed, "Father, everything has its pros and cons. Perhaps it is precisely because of the existence of multiple large sects that our royal family can still maintain the unified structure of the Tiandou Empire during its decline. Our Tiandou royal family may not have no chance to go further! Originally, only the Spirit Hall had the inheritance of gods. Therefore, in the past so many years, the Spirit Hall was able to occupy a dominant position, and even the Pope of the Spirit Hall was at the level of the Pope of the soul master world."

"But what about now? The Spirit Hall is obviously not as powerful as before. In the past three years, our Tiandou Empire has eliminated the Spirit Hall branches, eliminated local rebels, reformed the army, and so on, and its strength has greatly increased! And these changes are all caused by the sudden rise of the extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan. In order to grab benefits, a war will inevitably break out between the emerging forces and the old overlords!"

"What's more, now that four forces with the inheritance of gods have emerged all of a sudden, the competition will be more intense, and our Tiandou royal family will also be actively trying to win over us. This is our opportunity! As long as we can stand in the right position, we can develop rapidly in the great changes in the future!"

"The strategic decision of our Tiandou Empire to make friends with the Jidao Yinyang Leopard Clan and attack the Spirit Hall was undoubtedly correct! Among the four divine inheritances, the Jidao Yinyang Leopard Clan and the Huangfu Family are a faction through marriage; the Spirit Hall is a separate faction; and the Xiwei Divine Cult is now infamous and has no one left." "In the future, the Jidao Yinyang Leopard Clan will definitely become the dominant force. We once helped them in times of crisis, and we have maintained close cooperation since then. After they become the dominant force, our Tiandou Empire will not be in a bad situation."

Xue Qinghe stood on the standpoint of the Tiandou Imperial Family, and made a very logical analysis, but he sneered in his heart: Xue Ye, you are too tired, worrying about so many things every day, hurry up and die of the poison and have a good rest! From now on, the Tiandou Empire will be ruled by me, Qian Renxue, and the extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan and the rare pseudo-divine religion will all submit to my angel lineage!

Xue Ye was silent for a long time before he spoke, "Qinghe, you are right. I understand all these principles. I just can't accept it! It is obvious that more than ten years ago, the strength of the Jidao Yinyang Leopard Clan was not as good as our royal family. Now our Tiandou Royal Family has to be their younger brother. What a gap!"

Then Xue Ye's mind turned, "How do you think our royal family can become the inheritors of the gods like the Spirit Hall? Judging from the performance of the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan, they definitely did not have a god inheritance in the beginning, otherwise they would not have drastically reduced their sphere of influence. They must have become the inheritors of the gods in recent years. This shows that the inheritors of the gods are definitely not static, and can be born later! If our Tiandou royal family can also be chosen by the gods, then we can completely take off. But how can we become the inheritors of the gods?"

"Father, your Highness, even your son doesn't know this secret." Xue Qinghe looked embarrassed on the surface, but in his heart he was mocking Xue Ye for being ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. He didn't even look at the martial spirit level of your Xue family and the talents of your descendants. Unless the gods are blind, no god would look down on you. Moreover, the Xue family had no god ancestor in their family, and without bloodline, it is impossible for them to become the heirs of the gods.

"Forget it, Qinghe, you go and do your work." Xue Ye waved his hand and asked the prince to leave. Then he issued a secret order, asking his shadow guards to find out how to obtain information about the gods' inheritance. Xue Ye wanted to make progress so much!

At this moment, the convoy of the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan was about to drive out of the Barak Kingdom. Zhuang Xingyu recalled everything he had seen along the way and sighed.

Under the rule of the Pseudo-God, the Kingdom of Barak completely relaxed land control, and everything could be freely bought and sold. Nobles of all sizes raised taxes one after another, and various levies and taxes emerged one after another. Some even sent people to burn the crops that were about to mature. The people could not pay taxes or eat, so they could only borrow money from the nobles at high prices. What was debt repayment? What if someone deliberately made you unable to pay it back? You could only sell your land, become refugees, and survive.
