Chapter 629 Changing the Conditions for Martial Soul Awakening
As the god of the sea, Martin was well aware of the importance of the balance of the marine food chain to the ocean. In order to prevent the marine ecosystem from becoming unbalanced, Martin did not issue any orders to stop the sea spirit beasts from hunting when he was preaching.
Martin didn't care about the sea spirit beast believers who died in the hunt, since as long as their faith level reached that of fanatics, they could be reborn in the divine kingdom!
However, in order to prevent some rare species in the ocean from being wiped out, Martin still provided some protection to those sea spirit beasts that were already on the verge of extinction, so that they would not be wiped out by those blind sea spirit beasts. At that time, Martin would really have nowhere to cry!
Of course, Martin doesn't intend to be a babysitter. Once those endangered sea spirit beasts recover to a certain level under his protection and have a certain ability to protect themselves, they must leave Martin's protection and go to the sea to live independently!
...
After the Spirit Hall members within the Star Luo Empire withdrew from the Star Luo Empire, the services originally provided by the Spirit Hall were completely cancelled!
It was precisely because of the disappearance of the Spirit Hall within the Star Luo Empire that the common people of the Star Luo Empire could no longer enjoy the benefit of awakening their spirits!
As for the Spirit Hall's contribution to local security, it has nothing to show for it. After all, the Spirit Hall of the Star Luo Empire is now deserted, so helping to manage local security has become a pipe dream!
As for the distribution of subsidies and allowances, they were also completely cancelled. At the same time, in order to prevent the Star Luo Empire from turning the tables and accusing the Spirit Hall of embezzling the Spirit Master allowances given by the Star Luo Empire to all the Spirit Masters in the world.
The Spirit Hall even made a special statement in the Spirit Daily that it would no longer ask the two great empires for spirit subsidies. As for whether the two great empires would issue spirit master subsidies to benefit ordinary spirit masters, that was none of the Spirit Hall's business!
Of course, while the allowances issued to all eligible Soul Masters were cancelled, the Spirit Hall also issued a statement, stating that the grassroots staff of the Spirit Hall worked diligently to seek benefits for the general public, going to the countryside and working tirelessly to help six-year-old children awaken their Martial Souls!
However, the final result was naturally thankless. The Star Luo Empire slandered the Spirit Hall's contributions, denied the Spirit Hall's contributions to the entire continent, and guarded against the Spirit Hall with all its might.
At the same time, they used money and beauty to seduce the high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall of the Star Luo Empire, causing them to fall into depravity, abandon their own beliefs, and ruin the reputation of the Spirit Hall, allowing the Star Luo nobles to profit from it!
The people of Xingluo believed the rumors and were brainwashed by the Xingluo royal family. They enjoyed the free spirit awakening service provided by the Spirit Hall, but nearly 60% of the commoner spirit masters joined the forces that were hostile to the Spirit Hall under the pretext of patriotism.
Although the situation in the Heaven Dou Empire is slightly better, many commoner soul masters, led by genius soul masters like Qin Ming, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun, enjoy the soul awakening services provided by the Spirit Hall and receive subsidies from the Spirit Hall, but they do not appreciate the Spirit Hall's kindness and have become one of the forces opposing the Spirit Hall!
After much painful reflection, the high command of the Spirit Hall finally decided to change the prerequisites for awakening a martial spirit in ordinary people! Statues of the Lord of Light will be erected in cities and villages within the Spirit Hall's territory and the Heaven Dou Empire. Children who reach the awakening age of six must devoutly believe in the Lord of Light (at least a true believer) to be worthy of the opportunity to awaken their martial spirit!
Before awakening their Martial Soul, eligible children must sign a contract! After awakening, all Soul Masters with innate Soul Power must join the Spirit Hall and serve the Spirit Hall for life!
Shortly after the new rules were issued by the Spirit Hall, all the nobles who had not submitted to the Spirit Hall thought that the Spirit Hall had gone mad, and the commoner spirit masters also expressed their incomprehension of the Spirit Hall's self-inflicted injury!
It's important to understand that the Spirit Hall's ability to dominate the entire Douluo Continent for so long and remain so powerful is not only due to the existing Spirit Master families within the Spirit Hall, but also because it relies on the largest number of commoners on the Douluo Continent. Without the large number of commoners joining the Spirit Hall, it would have been difficult for the Spirit Hall to maintain its long-term dominance!
