"Ha Luosa and Yun Ming were useless, but that doesn't mean Zaixing isn't capable. If Zaixing had been of their generation, how could they have ever become famous?"
As Yu Family Old Ancestor finished speaking, Yu Xin firmly objected, saying with no small amount of pride, "Don't forget Zaixing is only thirteen. Ha Luosa has fallen multiple times, and Yun Ming's state of mind is ruined, but Zaixing's Aura is like a Dragon."
"Before the first Angel God became a God, who knew there was a World of level 100?"
Yu Family Old Ancestor fell silent for a moment, then continued, trying to make this junior, whose head was turned by emotion, clear-headed:
"Even if he could follow the path of the first Angel God, the conditions no longer exist. Ancient powerhouses lived for over a thousand years; today, Douluo Star's Life Qi is far less than before, and top powerhouses simply cannot live that long. Who knows which damned bastards caused this?"
"Could it be that he'd accumulate faith generation after generation, letting his descendants fight with the remnants of six generations' efforts to achieve Ascension and become a God? Or do you believe he can do what all the geniuses in Douluo Star's history have failed to do, and recreate the God Realm?"
"It's not impossible, we just have to try."
Yu Xin pouted, saying, "As for the loss of the Divine Artifact, at worst, we can just ask him to forge a few more sets of four-word battle armor. Why be so stingy?"
"—"
Yu Family Old Ancestor stopped talking. A girl in love couldn't be reasoned with, and the old man felt a chill in his heart.
"Swish~"
Yu Xin reluctantly took out life's praise. With a gentle lift of her hand, the god sealing list automatically rolled up and fell into her grasp.
"But still, thank you, Old Ancestor. I'm off now—"
After putting away the god sealing list, Yu Xin gave her Old Ancestor a sweet smile and quickly walked out of the secret room, as if afraid he would change his mind.
Watching his junior slip away, Yu Family Old Ancestor felt an urge to have a spar with Feng Zaixing.
"No wonder Guanzhi didn't want to talk about you. You've charmed Xiaoxin'er so much, even I, an old man, want to hit you; and that hateful old bandit, I really want to smash his mouth!"
"Le Zhengyang, you old bastard, bah!"
When he was young, Yu Family Old Ancestor had some friction with the bandit Le, a true frenemy. In recent years, hearing the other party boast, "My grand-nephew marries your grand-niece, I'll take a loss and be a generation higher than you, let's be good in-laws," made him even more furious.
At the same time.
Shrek Inner City, Sea God's Pavilion.
Long Yeyue sat grandly in the secondary seat, pounding the table, her face grim:
"This Sea God's Pavilion meeting was my suggestion. You should all have heard about what's happening outside."
In the main seat, Yun Ming narrowed his eyes and remained silent, his expression also somewhat displeased.
Ya Li, opposite Long Yeyue, took over, smiling, "Sister Yue, are you referring to Feng Zaixing killing a group of Evil Soul Masters at the Soul Tool Station?"
"Precisely!"
Long Yeyue's face was cold, her old voice hoarse like a crow's: "He merely saved some people and killed some Evil Soul Masters, and the Federation and military are praising him to the heavens!"
"What 'unparalleled Genius in the Federation for a thousand years,' 'youngest continental storm ranking list expert in history,' 'War God Hall successor,' and such. It's simply ridiculous!"
"How many Evil Soul Masters have we, Shrek, killed? How many people have we saved? They ignore our contributions, yet they lavish praise on a mere child, to the point where the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy has completely overshadowed us. It's utterly shameless!"
Long Yeyue had high hopes for this enrollment. She had bought a lot of online trolls to compete with the Spirit Pagoda Academy of the Spirit Pagoda. As a result, while the two families were fiercely competing, Feng Zaixing became famous in one battle, directly grabbing all the trending headlines.
The hyped enrollment topic immediately shifted to Mingdu. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, without doing anything, became the winner of traffic. Visitors from all sides surrounded it, three layers deep, contributing a large sum of funds to the academy.
This glory should have belonged to Shrek City, but Feng Zaixing once again stole Shrek's glory!
Ya Li gave an awkward smile, saying, "The Federation has suppressed us before, it's not the first or second time. Sister Yue, you don't need to be so angry."
"Yes, yes, Sister Yue, don't be angry. Getting upset isn't worth it for your health," Zhuo Shi also advised with a conciliatory smile.
"Sister, don't—" "—it's not worth it for your health—"
The various Old Ancestors spoke up, the scene like ministers urging an empress dowager to take care of herself. Finally, even Yun Ming joined in, saying a few soft words.
Frankly, none of the Old Ancestors wanted this, but who could blame them when Chen Xinjie liked this kind of thing?
During the disaster of Heaven Dou, Zang Xin invited Long Yeyue to come out of retirement. Although the methods were not glorious, it indeed helped the Tang Sect recover significantly, and Long Yeyue, having made a great contribution, naturally returned. Now, even Yun Ming and his wife had to defer to her.
Shrek was in a precarious situation, and Chen Xinjie's connection was too important. Long Yeyue ascended to the position of Shrek's Grand Empress Dowager.
As for her nominal deceased husband, Heaven's Chosen Douluo Elder Bei, after he died, his grave would still be green, but the Old Ancestors couldn't worry about that now. They couldn't prioritize the dead over the survival of the living.
In a sense, this was indeed contributing to Shrek. They believed Elder Bei would consider the bigger picture in the afterlife.
In the harmonious atmosphere of coaxing the old matriarch, Long Yeyue calmed down and stated her proposal:
"This old woman proposes that the Inner Academy re-establish the Shrek Supervisory Group to monitor the movements of Evil Soul Masters throughout the Federation, to make Shrek great again! This old woman is willing to serve as the nominal head of this Supervisory Group!"
At these words, everyone's pupils contracted, followed by a chorus of "How could we trouble Sister Yue?" and "We should be the ones to labor" type remarks.
Yun Ming pressed his temples, earnestly saying, "Sister Yue, don't be impulsive. You are at an age for enjoying your retirement, how can you continue to labor? Why don't I do it?"
Besides summoning Chen Xinjie, the old woman was completely unreliable. If she became the head, who knew what accidents might happen?
Moreover, the old woman genuinely didn't have long to live. If anything happened to her, Chen Xinjie would immediately turn from a hidden ally into a mortal enemy!
"Hmph, I've thought about all those words you're saying. Do you think I'm being impulsive? I have no choice!"
Long Yeyue stood up, her face full of grief, pointing at them one by one: "You juniors, each and every one of you lives in luxury. Who still bothers with things? Yun Ming, how many matters have you handled these past years? Can I not step forward?"
Yun Ming lowered his head in shame, "But Sister Yue—"
"There are no 'buts'! This old woman has dedicated her entire life to Shrek; dying for it is worth it!"
Long Yeyue slammed the table, shouting, "I won't make things difficult for you. I've already decided on the candidate for Vice Head. Once I bring her back, she will lead the students and preside over the fight against Evil Soul Masters!"
Ya Li had a very bad premonition, "Sister Yue, who is the person you're referring to?"
"Of course, it's Yue'er, Yue'er who has suffered in the Spirit Pagoda for three years!"
Long Yeyue accused sorrowfully, and the Old Ancestors' heads immediately buzzed.
Bring back Silver Moon Douluo Cai Yue'er? Are you going to declare war on Mingdu next?
Yun Ming's bitter smile deepened: "Sister Yue, this—we agreed to wait five or eight years back then. It's only been three years now, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"
"What's inappropriate about it? That little beast even came to our doorstep and caused a river of blood in the Inner Academy. Do we still have to abide by our agreement with them?!"
Long Yeyue shrieked sharply, slamming the table and standing up, pointing at Yun Ming: "If you don't dare to go to the Spirit Pagoda with me, this old woman will go alone! Back then, this old woman could fight her way into the Spirit Pagoda and slap Qiangu Dieting's old face; today, I still dare to fight my way through!"
With words spoken to this extent, how could Yun Ming dare to let her go alone?
Standing up immediately, Yun Ming sighed, "Don't say anymore. I will go to the Spirit Pagoda with you to bring Yue'er back."
"But you must promise me, absolutely do not act impulsively."
"Hmph, when have I ever been impulsive? This old woman is perfectly clear-headed!"
With that said, Long Yeyue strode out of the Sea God's Pavilion. Yun Ming gave a bitter smile and quickly followed.
Two streaks of light shot through the sky, and in a few blinks of an eye, they arrived outside the Spirit Pagoda.
The newly built Spirit Pagoda Academy was not far from the Spirit Pagoda, grand in scale, not much smaller than Shrek Inner Academy. Qiangu Dongfeng's masterful touch was evident.
Seeing this, Yun Ming also felt an inexplicable surge of anger. His sky piercing spear swept out with a searing spear light, forcibly suppressing all the powerhouses in the Spirit Pagoda who had detected the anomaly.
"No flying."
"Yun Ming, Long Yeyue, what do you intend to do?!"
A sharp shout came from within the Spirit Pagoda. Qiangu Dongfeng, leading a group of powerhouses, appeared, his expression grave, as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Enough nonsense. Release Yue'er. This old woman is taking our Shrek person home!"
Long Yeyue stepped forward a few paces, her face grim, and sneered, "Originally, you weren't qualified to speak with us. Where is that old thing, Qiangu Dieting?"
"My father is in seclusion. I am responsible for urgent matters."
Qiangu Dongfeng's mind raced, and he made a decision, a sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth: "We agreed to imprison her for ten or twenty years. Are you going to break the agreement?"
"So what if we are? Hand her over!" Long Yeyue roared furiously.
"Since Sky Piercing Douluo personally asks, this Pagoda Master naturally must comply. Follow me."
Qiangu Dongfeng half-ignored Long Yeyue, turned around, and had Leng Yaozhu and Qiangu Qingfeng entertain Long Yeyue, while he led Yun Ming into the Pagoda.
Long Yeyue's eyes flared with anger, but seeing many Spirit Pagoda powerhouses with frosty expressions releasing their Aura to lock onto her, she immediately reined in her Aura.
