Chapter 36: Eternal Kingdom Descends Upon Shrek!
For a long time, there was no response—long enough that Jiang Chen grew visibly impatient.
He still had classes to attend. How could he waste his time waiting here?
And then—
Warning: Eternal Kingdom Activation!
"Wait!"
The voice came just as the suffocating weight in Yun Ming's chest reached breaking point. After witnessing the destruction of Tang Sect, how could he allow Shrek Academy to follow the same path?
That pressure within him reminded him constantly—he was the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion. He couldn't act out of anger, couldn't be reckless.
Otherwise, Shrek Academy's fate would mirror Tang Sect's annihilation.
He couldn't let that happen—not under his leadership.
If Shrek were destroyed in his hands, how could he ever face the Sea God Pavilion's former masters in the afterlife—or the Sea God himself, who had guarded Shrek for generations?
But as hesitation filled his heart, something within him shattered.
That unshakeable Dao Heart—his faith, his pride, his confidence in becoming a god one day… broke apart.
All around him, Sea God Pavilion elders watched in disbelief as their master prepared to surrender—prepared to abandon the land that had stood for ten thousand years.
How could they accept that?
"No, Pavilion Master! You must not!"
"We will stand and die with Shrek! Shrek's glory cannot be defiled!"
"We will never surrender!"
"We will never retreat!"
Yet the oppressive aura of the Eternal Kingdom silenced even the fiercest voices.
They all knew what it meant to defend Shrek's honor with their lives. But when faced with an inevitable end… did struggling still matter?
Especially when that struggle meant nothing but meaningless death.
At last, Yun Ming seemed to exhaust every ounce of willpower left in him. His trembling voice fell like thunder through the air.
"I, Yun Ming, in the name of the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, hereby declare—"
"Shrek Academy… shall be evacuated."
The moment his words ended, Jiang Chen issued his final command regarding Shrek Academy.
"Eternal Kingdom—fire."
This time, no blinding violet.
Instead—pure, engulfing black.
The heavens and earth fell into darkness. Though the sun still shone above, it might as well have ceased to exist.
In the blink of an eye, Shrek Academy was plunged into a world of death.
The Inner Court students had already been quietly evacuated. The Outer Court disciples remaining were protected by Yun Ming, Long Yueye, and Ya Li—three Limit Douluo—and several titled elders of the Pavilion.
Even the eight Extreme Douluo from the Federation lent their strength. After all, most Outer Court students hailed from major aristocratic families and factions across the continent. Appearances still had to be kept.
Qian Gu Dongfeng had never felt so lighthearted. Watching the Eternal Kingdom descend, he even found the mental space to sneer beside Yun Ming.
"Relax, Pavilion Master. I've helped escort your students to safety. Shouldn't you thank me for my 'kindness,' Your Excellency the Sky Piercer?"
A flash of steel answered him—Yun Ming's Sky Piercing Spear lunged without warning.
Dongfeng's eyes widened; he hastily summoned his Coiling Dragon Staff to block—
But in sheer power, there was no contest.
Yun Ming, the strongest beneath the heavens, sent him flying with a single strike.
Even Dongfeng's brother, Qian Gu Qingfeng, winced. Provoking a man in this state? You've a death wish.
Gritting his teeth, Yun Ming roared, "Why? Shrek has already surrendered its claim to Shrek City—yet you still fire the Level Twelve Soul Cannon!"
No one answered. All eyes turned toward Huo Yuanjing—he was the Federation's representative here, after all.
A single Level Twelve Shell was no trivial matter. The entire Federation possessed only three. Now that Shrek had agreed to leave peacefully, why waste one?
Huo Yuanjing merely motioned for them to keep watching.
Ten thousand years ago, the Sun Moon Empire had nearly unified the continent, ending the age of divided nations.
But a god—an interfering god—had manifested. That god crushed their dreams of unification, forced them to rename themselves the Heaven Dou Empire, and denied their destiny.
From that moment, the Huo Family understood something mankind was never meant to know—godhood was rigged.
For thirty-three generations, the Huo Family had produced Limit Douluo—none had ever achieved godhood.
They knew the truth—the gods had their gatekeepers.
Still, when the Divine Realm vanished, other Limit Douluo despaired. But the Huo Family felt nothing.
For even if one could sense the Divine Realm—would the gods ever allow a mortal to join them?
The so-called divinity lingering in Shrek Academy belonged to that meddling god who had shattered the Sun Moon Empire's unity.
And now, they would erase his remnants once and for all.
The black light devoured heaven and earth.
The Golden Tree, Shrek's guardian for millennia, sensed the approach of death and erupted in radiant gold.
But this time, there was no Yun Ming to sacrifice himself as shield.
What god would save them now?
A surge of emerald light burst forth, spiraling upward into the skies—
A vast green vortex expanded desperately, trying to swallow the Eternal Kingdom whole.
But how could a god without divine authority stand against such a weapon?
She was counterfeit divinity—a handpicked heir, a puppet of destiny.
The Golden Tree was surrounded by countless strands of Blue Silver Grass, from which a noble azure-haired woman slowly emerged.
The Blue Silver Emperor—Tang San's mother, Ah Yin.
She should have been silent, calmly devouring the land's lifeforce according to her son's plan—becoming the continent's Life Core while her husband ascended as its Plane Lord.
But now, humanity had come targeting her.
"Humans! How dare you!"
Yet the sight of the descending Eternal Kingdom brought, for the first time in her life, fear to her flawless face.
Had humanity truly grown so powerful… to forge weapons that could kill gods?
The black light swallowed everything—space, time, life.
Shrek Academy withered and collapsed, leaving only the Golden Tree trembling amidst the encroaching dark.
Ah Yin didn't understand—where were Shrek's other protectors?
Had they abandoned her? Why?
She didn't even comprehend the full situation. Bound by the ancient laws laid down by the Divine Realm, no god was allowed to truly manifest on Douluo Continent again.
Even the continent's own consciousness resisted divine interference.
Thus she had slumbered unknowing of the outside world—until it was far too late.
Why? How had it all come to this?
Sea God Island quaked violently. The Golden Tree's new leaves withered one by one. Layers of golden radiance peeled away beneath the invasion of black annihilation.
Under that unimaginable pressure, everything living was reduced to dust.
Even as a goddess, Ah Yin could not prevail against the Eternal Kingdom.
This weapon had nearly destroyed the Abyssal Plane itself once. Had that realm not possessed unique self-healing power, it too would have been obliterated.
As the Golden Tree's spirit revealed her true form, Yun Ming's composure finally broke.
Was this… the ancestral spirit of Shrek's Golden Tree?
Had they truly abandoned their guardian deity—the one who had nurtured them for ten thousand years?
Fury consumed him.
He would not let it end this way.
If he could just become a god… he could save them!
"Yes," he hissed. "I will become a god!"
"I will ascend to true divinity!"
Clutching the Sky Piercing Spear, Yun Ming poured every ounce of rage into a desperate breakthrough.
"Please, Lord Sea God—open your eyes! Protect Shrek!"
