The Path of the Great Sovereign 138 The Troubles of a Ruler

Ning Fengzhi was sitting in a sun-room discussing matters with the Sword Douluo and the Bone Douluo as Tatsuo made his way into the room.

"High-Emperor Tatsuo, Your Eminence it is an honor for you to come to my humble clan personally."

"Oh so you already knew what the Emperors were up too how perceptive of you Clan Leader Ning."

Ning Fengzhi, The Sword Douluo and The Bone Douluo stood then knelled before Tatsuo, Titled Douluo have no reason to bow to Nobility of any rank unless that noble happens to be a higher ranking Titled Douluo. Even then it only goes so far as slightly lowering one's Head, However the Rank of High-Emperor was different as there has never been one before who stood above all. Not only that Tatsuo was beyond the Realm of Titled Douluo, both Sword and Bone have witnessed his prowess so there is no longer any apprehension in bowing their head.

"Clan Leader Ning, Chen Xin, Gu Rong, if it comes to it who will you stand with if there was a Rebellion?"

"Your Eminence, there is no need to go so far to show up in person to ask such a question. You have done something for my clan which can never be repaid not only did you prolong the Lives of Uncle Sword and Uncle bone you allowed myself and other members of the Nine Treasure Gile Pragonda clan to reach Titled Douluo! In History there has not been more than 5 Support System Spirit Master that have achieved that lofty status."

"Very Good! Little Chen, Little Gu, and Little Ning, rise and step forward."

There was no need to fear Tatsuo as death clearly would not be the outcome if they stepped forward so they did as they were told.

Tatsuo placed his Hands first on the forehead of the Sword Douluo and The Bone Douluo.

"For your pledges of loyalty I will do two things.First I will increase the age of your Spirit Rings to my Imperial Standard of 4 10,000 year spirit rings and 5 100,000 year spirit rings. Secondly I will implant three techniques into your minds, these techniques will allow you to cultivate faster than your peers so you may join me sooner on my path to reclaim the world."

Tatsuo then placed his hand on Ning Fengzhi.

"I will do the same for you as well, with these techniques and proper control over your spirit power even Support System Spirit Masters can be deadly opponents on the battlefield. I hope you will join the realm of Titled Douluo then eventually the realms of Gods along with Myself, Sword, and Bone."

After Tatsuo bestowed these gifts upon them he took a seat and ordered a Clan member to bring him tea. He gestured for the Three of them to sit as well.

"Now of course those gifts are not just for your loyalty I also have a task for you.If you were able to find out about me being the new Overlord of the Douluo continent who else do you think knows?"

"The Spirit Hall."

"Correct, my coronation is in 1 weeks time and the majority of the population of the Douluo Continent will be there. If I was the Supreme Pontiff of the Spirit Hall, and I was disrespected in such a way in public I would want to retaliate. Of course taking your frustrations out on someone an either realm above you is impossible who could say the same about the Citizens of the Douluo continent?"

"Your Eminence thinks the Supreme Pontiff will attack the Coronation?! What would she gain out of doing such a thing?" -Gu Rong

"While directly attacking during the coronation is also impossible you can still delay the process if the Two Emperors of the great empires fall ill or go missing entirely. Or you could just kill off hundreds of thousands or Millions of people causing mass panic and distrust before the event making it extremely difficult to hold it. The Number of ways to stop this event from happening is numerous, the reason behind it is pretty simple. Bibi Dong is a woman that sees herself as better than the rest of the people, If she cannot stand at the top no one will be able to. She would rather destroy all she has built than let someone else profit from it."

The three of them pondered on Tatsuo's words while Tatsuo himself thought whether or not it was only the Supreme Pontiff that would do such a thing.

'The Star Luo Empire follows the Law of the Jungle, the Strong will rule so it most likely isn't Dai Wushin making any plans but Xue Ye. Even if neither are planning anything I should prepare for the worse case scenario, I need these people to continue with my plan of becoming Overgod of this Plane.'

Tatsuo rhythmically tapped on the table as his tea was brought to him.

'The Clear Sky Clan, Nine Treasure Gile Pragonda, and Lastly the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan along with their subsidiary clans. I need to declaw both Emperors while removing their teeth at the same time along the way I will deal with the Spirit Hall as well. There are times when people are blinded by our riches and forget our true purpose of leading and defending the nation. They let the power inflate their ego, let it change their personality and they forget that it is the people who hold all the power and they don't even know it. If I remove the people around those currently in power and they themselves are attempting to hold their House of Cards together I can just look on as it all falls.'

"Little Sword, Little Bone, I want one of you to bring the Head of all the Clans of the Heaven Duo Empire to me. We are going to weed out the spies from the Spirit Hall while also entrapment them at the same time."

'First let's Declaw everyone before I turn these traitorous rats into loyal dogs.'
