“My Lord, I don’t understand why you’re being so lenient with Tang Wulin. His very existence is a threat to us, and he’s growing too quickly. If we let him be, I think it won’t be long before he’ll truly be able to master the Golden Dragon King’s power.”

The silver silhouette replied drily, “That’s exactly what I want him to do. I’ve already recovered the Dragon God’s core. I want him to grow and maybe even turn into a real Golden Dragon King. I can only assimilate him completely when it comes to that, in order to bring back the Dragon God and, in turn, rebuild the Divine Realm.”

“My Lord, this...” Di Tian was stunned. “But if that happened, who’s going to be in control? He’s only a human, after all!”

The silver silhouette said plainly, “Do you think that you know more than I do as to who’s going to control us after I assimilate him? I asked you not to make a move, and you dared act on your own. If I hadn’t planted a surveillance device on him, I’m sure that you would’ve had your way by now. His growth isn’t complete yet. He hasn’t completely absorbed the Golden Dragon King’s power. If we killed him now and I absorb his power, then we’ll never be able to bring back the complete Dragon God.”

“Forgive me, My Lord.” Although he did not know why, Di Tian sensed that something was off from the very beginning. However, he could find no fault in his master’s explanation.

The silver silhouette said coldly, “I’ll let it slide this time. From this day on, none of you shall have any ideas concerning him. I know what I’m doing.”

“Understood!” the Four Great Beasts bowed their heads in unison.

The silver silhouette moved quickly toward Di Tian. She smacked the crown of Di Tian’s head with her right hand. Di Tian felt his body shake as the flow of time, which he had lost control of, started stabilizing.

“Thank you, My Lord,” Di Tian sighed in relief. He could feel that his master’s power had truly returned.

A large part of the reason he was bold enough to ignore his orders and attack Tang Wulin was because he believed that his master’s power had not completely recovered yet. In terms of cultivation base, he was the superior one. However, at the moment, he could only be as silent as a cicada in winter. Naturally, he knew how terrifying it would be if his master completely regained her powers. She would practically be a deity walking in the realms of men.

The planar power on Douluo Continent was no longer sufficient to suppress a being such as she. In a certain sense, she might be able to fight against the entire Douluo Plane herself.

“Be ready, all of you. We’re going to release more seeds. This is a rare opportunity. There’ll be a great commotion in the humans’ world. This will also be our greatest chance.”

“Yes, My Lord.”

...

The color of gold. An endless sea of gold.

When Tang Wulin regained consciousness, what he saw was a golden world.

This world was quiet, without a decibel of sound. He instinctively raised his head. What he saw was a wide path.

In the golden world, the brilliant golden path was very eye-catching. It continued in the distance faraway and seemed to have no end.

“The Sea God’s Nine Trials. Only by passing all of them will you be able to truly own the Golden Trident and control its powers. Proceed with courage!”

A familiar voice resounded in his ears. In this silent world, the warm voice penetrated deeper into his heart.

Father!

The Sea God’s Nine Trials?

...

With a flash of light, the six Shrek Monsters and Sima Jinchi appeared in a strange, empty space.

They were no longer in the dense forest, but were now on a vast plain.

Xie Xie mumbled to himself blankly, “Who can tell me what just happened? I’m not dreaming, am I?”

He was not the only one feeling that way. The others felt as if they were in a dream as well.

Yuanen Yehui’s brows were tightly knitted together, “The silver claw just now was so powerful.” All of them could only tell that the silver claw formidable, given that it had sent the Bear Lord flying, but they could not gauge just how strong it actually was. It might even be of the same rank as the Beast God Di Tian, if not higher.

When they made this discovery after going deep into the Great Star Dou Forest, there was no way that they could not be impressed.

Before this, they had never expected that there were such powerful soul beasts. The Four Great Beasts were all elite warriors. If Tang Wulin had not used his Sea God’s Trident and the silver claw had not appeared, they would have certainly died.

“What I’m more interested in is, where did Big Brother go?” asked Yue Zhengyu with a wry smile.

Yes, where did Tang Wulin go? He had transformed into a beam of golden light and vanished. He seemed to have been brought away by the Golden Trident. However, where was he brought to? Was he safe?

They exchanged glances with each other. Nobody would have expected that their journey to look for the life crystal would end up like this.

All this while, everyone’s strength had improved with blinding speed. They had achieved eight-ringed cultivation bases, owned three-word battle armors, and obtained hundred-thousand-year spirit souls. They felt their own strength increasing by leaps and bounds. They could not help but feel their arrogance building.

However, they had used up all their energy in today’s battle, and still ended up being defeated. This was unimaginable for them.

If they worked together, they might be able to fight the Thousand Demon King or the Bear Lord. However, they were utterly powerless before that Beast God.

“Who’s seen Wulin’s trident before? What’s up with that?” asked Ye Xinglan.

“I’ve seen it,” Xie Xie hastily answered, “Back then, we were creating a storm in the skies. When Tang Wulin assimilated the Thunderclap Nether Vine, the golden trident appeared. Also, I remember there was sombody’s silhouette as well. I can’t make out the details, but I’m sure that it has only appeared once. That trident’s aura was so powerful! But I don’t think that Big Brother can fully control it. If what he said is true, then it’s highly possible that the trident contains some godly power.”

Tang Wulin had clearly said that he would let Di Tian experience the power of a god. In truth, he had only managed to block Di Tian’s attack with the Millenium Cloud.

However, not even Tang Wulin could have foreseen the final outcome. None of them expected that Tang Wulin would desert the ranks in the battlefield and run away on purpose. That was not something that he would do.

However, they could not even see Tang Wulin’s shadow anywhere. Things were getting serious.

“Let’s go back for now. He might have returned already,” said Sima Jinchi with a deep voice.

Although he said this, he himself did not quite believe his own words. He had tried to sense Tang Wulin’s presence with the Dragon Clan’s power saber, but he felt nothing.

Ye Xinglan nodded, “There’s nothing else we can do but return.”

Xu XIaoyan smiled bitterly and said, “The captain’s missing. How should we explain this to Her Excellency when we return?”

Tang Wulin’s importance toward the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy was indescribable. His sudden disappearance would certainly be a heavy blow to Shrek which had just started reconstruction.

...

“There’s a powerful energy shockwave in the Great Star Dou Forest, and it even penetrated the barrier?” Qiangu Dongfeng had not been in a good mood the entire day. He felt that he was in a terrible fix.

When Shrek was blasted back then, he thought that Shrek Academy would remain relegated to history. Even if someone wanted to rebuild Shrek, it would never be the same as it was before.

However, he did not expect that day to come so soon. To think that there was actually someone who wanted to rebuild Shrek after a few years. What shocked him more was that the students of Shrek Academy were still alive.

That was a huge problem. This was because he discovered, after a few attempts, that there was nothing he could do about Shrek Academy.

With the Holy Spirit Cult unwilling to make a move, Shrek Academy was practically impregnable. With the pressure from the public and after suffering losses from the conflict between the Spirit Pagoda and the Tang Sect, he did not dare to take any drastic measures after this.
