Time flies.
Two years later.
Heaven Dou Empire.
Barak Kingdom, outside Soto City.
Eight beautiful and distinctly styled figures walked along the road chatting and laughing. The youthful charm in their every gesture and movement caused the surrounding passersby to stop and stare, their eyes flashing with amazement and curiosity.
Over these two years, the girls had practically traveled around the entire border of the Heaven Dou Empire. Once, they were even attacked by soul beasts midway and forced to flee deep into the dense forests within the Star Luo Empire's territory. Without a map or any other guidance, and constantly hindered and blocked by soul beasts, they wandered in the dark, damp, terrifying forest for half a month before finally managing to get out.
Of course, Shen Hanyu definitely had a hand in arranging all of this. As soul masters, how could they not properly train their wilderness survival skills?
While the girls were honing their survival abilities and combat techniques, Shen Hanyu looked at the hotel room in front of him. Its decoration was not particularly luxurious, and it gave a low chuckle.
He had traveled the continent with the girls for a full two years, yet he had only acted openly twice. The rest of the time, he was either holding the Snow Empress and watching the show, or simply going ahead to the next stop on their route a few days early to enjoy some comfortable days…
…
But perhaps it was fate. No one expected that, after many twists and turns, the girls would actually arrive in the vicinity of Soto City.
Thinking of the current point in time, Shen Hanyu immediately brought the Snow Empress and traveled through the night to reach Soto City. Sure enough, in a rundown academy built in a village on the outskirts, he found a ten-thousand-year-old rabbit, along with all the future members of the Shrek Seven Devils.
Although the overall situation on the continent had changed somewhat compared to the original story, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's stance had become increasingly unstable over the past two years, Ning Rongrong was still here.
At the same time, Shen Hanyu also sensed the presence of an old acquaintance, Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo who once bravely charged into the pigsty for love.
Unexpectedly, Tang Hao's condition had improved significantly. Although his body still carried many hidden injuries, it seemed someone had put great effort into treating him, and they no longer affected his future ability to fight.
Even more surprising was that Yu Xiaogang had also appeared at Shrek Academy during this time period.
Compared to two years ago, Yu Xiaogang was now so thin he looked almost skeletal. Dense stubble covered his face, his originally black short hair had turned half black and half white, and his brows carried a thick shadow of gloom and melancholy, the very picture of depression.
When the Snow Empress sensed Xiao Wu, she paused slightly, then asked softly:
"Are you planning to capture this little rabbit and give it to A-Yu as her sixth soul ring?"
Shen Hanyu smiled lightly and shook his head, saying:
"A few years ago, I did have that idea, but later I discovered that this rabbit's quality and attributes cannot compare to those of other powerful soul beasts. The Soft-Boned Rabbit clan's signature skills, Invincible Golden Body, Void, and the speed and suppleness they excel at, can all be found in even stronger soul beasts, with identical or even more perfect substitutes. For Yue'er, it can only be considered barely suitable…"
The Snow Empress nodded, then asked:
"Then do you need me to take action and kill that human Title Douluo for you…?"
Shen Hanyu pondered for a moment and said:
"It's doable. Although his strength is indeed average, when that hammer martial soul is combined with certain secret techniques, it does possess some power. To avoid too many complications on the road ahead, I plan to wait for the right moment and simply kill everyone down there…"
A trace of confusion appeared in the Snow Empress's eyes. The evening breeze lifted her white hair, and her cold, peerlessly beautiful appearance was like that of a fairy from a fairy tale.
"Wait for the right moment? This doesn't seem like your style of killing. Besides, there is nothing here capable of stopping you and me…"
Her voice was soft, yet carried a hint of puzzlement.
Shen Hanyu was just about to reply when his body suddenly stiffened. A moment later, he let out a light laugh and said:
"When one's strength reaches our level, we gain a vague sense of certain things in the future…"
"They are no longer qualified to be our enemies. You and I, and everyone standing on the same side as me, what we may face in the future is not soul masters, but…"
As he spoke, Shen Hanyu extended a finger and pointed upward.
The Snow Empress's gaze slowly followed upward. Then, a blue light flashed between their brows before quickly dimming again…
…
Divine Realm.
Sea God's Temple.
A cold and stern man clad in blood-red armor glared with fury and killing intent at the blue-haired man sitting opposite him, dressed in a blue robe and looking utterly indifferent.
"Poseidon! Do you know what you are doing?! You are violating the agreement between us! You are hindering the entire Divine Realm from moving forward!"
"You will become a sinner of the Divine Realm!"
Poseidon slowly stood up. A trace of a smile appeared on his somewhat imposing face. In the next moment, blue armor swiftly covered his body, and a pitch-black, extremely sharp trident appeared in his hand.
"Asura, I don't care what you want to do with that Douluo Continent, but the inheritor of the Ice God, you absolutely cannot touch him!"
The Sea God's tone was firm, yet carried a bone-chilling coldness.
Asura God's right hand opened slightly, but then suddenly relaxed. With a mocking look in his eyes, he gazed at the righteous and stern Sea God and said coldly:
"Sea God, I think you really have become a simp for the Ice God and have lost your brain, stupid. The Ice God fell tens of thousands of years ago. Her divine soul has completely dissipated. There is absolutely no possibility of resurrection. Why do you…"
The Sea God's divine armor slowly faded away. Poseidon then said firmly:
"She cannot have completely fallen. Absolutely impossible!"
Asura God: "...…"
The Sea God rolled his eyes, then put on a smile again and said:
"However, her choice of successor really isn't bad. This young man named Shen Hanyu, whether in terms of mentality or scheming, is far more interesting than that hammer-swinging boy she chose. If only I had had the chance to trick him into coming to Sea God Island for a visit back then during that incident at sea… Otherwise, I would have definitely forced the Nine Sea God Examinations on him. In less than ten years, I could officially retire…"
Asura God glanced at the Sea God, then slowly sat back down in the chair opposite him.
After a long silence, Asura God finally spoke in a slightly softer tone:
"He is indeed a good seedling. Even I couldn't help but feel tempted. But… he is walking too closely with soul beasts…"
The Sea God sneered and said:
"Soul beasts? Asura, your courage is getting smaller and smaller. Even the Dragon God of old couldn't withstand the combined force of all of us. So what if a few mere soul beasts become gods? What can they possibly change? Moreover, this young man will do anything for his own interests and the interests of those around him. Even wanton slaughter is something he is capable of. And those soul beasts all became his soul rings and soul bones through sacrifice. Even those two completely crippled Dragon Kings only retain their most basic consciousness. Is it that he cannot currently awaken those two dragon souls? No, he simply doesn't intend to awaken them at this time. He is waiting until he is powerful enough to control everything before doing so. Such scheming, such calculation, such a person, this is exactly the kind of talent the Divine Realm needs to grow stronger…"
Asura fell silent for a moment. Then his blood-red pupils glanced at the earnest Sea God, and he sneered:
"A simp is a simp. No matter what reasons you find, it's useless. Do you think I don't know what you're really plotting? You should take a piss and look at yourself in the reflection…"
"Hmph!"
Asura God snorted coldly, stood up, and walked toward the temple doors. When he reached the doorway, he slightly turned his head and said:
"I will consider your proposal carefully. Whatever you plan to do, make sure your hands and feet are clean. Don't let Destruction and the others catch you with evidence…"
A smile appeared on the Sea God's face. After watching Asura God leave, he took out a golden ball of light from somewhere and said somewhat helplessly:
"I… am also very helpless, you know…"
