"Stay at Shrek Academy with peace of mind. If anything happens, your eldest and second uncles are here, so don't worry."
Outside the east gate of Shrek City, Titan looked at the bustling food street and instructed Wang Dong'er beside him.
"Second Uncle, what do you plan to do after you go back?" Wang Dong'er didn't leave immediately but stayed where she was and asked.
Titan said in a deep voice, "Yu Hao's idea is quite good. I'll discuss it with your eldest uncle and try to fool him according to his plan."
Wang Dong'er's worries still lingered, but in the end, she didn't say anything more.
After Titan finished giving his instructions, he turned and left the city gate, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, and entered the space tunnel to return to Haotian Fortress.
After looking around for several minutes, Wang Dong'er finally withdrew her gaze and started to walk back to the academy.
"Wang Dong?"
Suddenly, a surprised voice rang out.
Hearing the voice, Wang Dong'er instinctively looked over, her expression immediately turning awkward. Not far away, Xiao Xiao, Zhu Lu, Jiang Nannan, and Tang Ya were all standing together, staring at her.
Xiao Xiao had only called out because the figure seemed familiar, but when Wang Dong'er turned around, all four girls froze.
"It really is you!" Xiao Xiao exclaimed in surprise as she walked over, the other three following. Staring wide-eyed at Wang Dong'er, dressed in a fitted long dress and exuding a pure and innocent aura, they
weren't surprised by her looks, but rather because it was the first time they'd ever seen Wang Dong'er in women's clothing; it felt unreal.
Wang Dong'er gave an awkward smile and said, "There won't be a Wang Dong anymore. Just call me Dong'er."
"Goodness." Tang Ya clicked her tongue, walked up to Wang Dong'er, looked her up and down, and couldn't help but say, "If I remember correctly, you and Yuhao slept in the same dorm for two or three years, right? How did he manage to put up with it?"
"Yuhao always treated me like a brother, he didn't think much of it." Wang Dong'er's forehead was covered in black lines.
"Wait a minute." Xiao Xiao noticed the key point, "You said the class monitor always treated you like a brother, so does that mean he already knew you were a girl?"
Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan's eyes instantly lit up with gossip.
Even Zhu Lu, who had the least interest in gossip, secretly looked over.
Wang Dong'er was speechless.
"Oh, no wonder I always see him bringing an extra breakfast back to the dorm every morning when I go to the cafeteria. Hmm~ so that's what he's up to. Being so close, he's got a head start," Xiao Xiao teased. "If I were the class monitor, I wouldn't let such a beautiful girl like her slip through my fingers either."
"Xiao Xiao!" Wang Dong'er blushed slightly, playfully rushing forward to cover Xiao Xiao's mouth.
Xiao Xiao giggled and quickly dodged, circling around Zhu Lu.
Watching the two circling around her, Zhu Lu shook her head helplessly, then reached out to capture them.
Actually, after returning from the Star Luo Empire competition, everyone knew Wang Dong'er's true gender. There was no other reason; on the wall of the Star Emperor Hotel's rooftop corridor hung a painting of the Goddess of Light Butterfly with annotations. The painting was originally hidden, but one day, a few male students were smoking cigars and chatting by the window when they accidentally discovered it.
And then… Wang Dong'er's gender was revealed, but no one said it outright to avoid embarrassment.
Wang Dong'er knew her gender was exposed, but no one said anything, and neither did she, continuing to walk around in men's clothing.
"Dong'er..." Jiang Nannan tried pronouncing her new name, chuckling, "We're having a party, why don't you come along? It'll just mean another little sister in our group."
When the Shrek Seven Devils were being ranked, Wang Dong'er was the youngest, and now, dressed as a woman, she was naturally the younger sister.
With Zhu Lu's help, Wang Dong'er had already caught Xiao Xiao, hugging and squeezing the little girl in her arms. Hearing Jiang Nannan's invitation, she immediately stopped.
"Come on, come on. You've made Xiao Xiao's face red." Tang Ya grabbed Wang Dong'er's hand, helping Xiao Xiao escape the squeezing ordeal.
Soon, the women walked towards the party location, chatting and laughing, naturally asking Wang Dong'er what it felt like to be dressed as a man.
One beautiful woman walking down the street might only attract a few glances, but five beautiful women walking together are like light bulbs in the dark.
The academy was full of young people, and both handsome men and beautiful women were quite attractive. Although Soul Masters considered strength more when choosing a partner, those who could enter Shrek Academy couldn't possibly be weak.
However, when Wang Dong'er was led away by Tang Ya, the long-haired girl with wine-red hair, who was sitting on a small stool chewing on roasted meat, was completely dumbfounded.
"What's wrong, Meng?" Sitting opposite the girl was a male student, none other than Xiao Hongchen, who was participating in the exchange student program.
Looking at that familiar yet unfamiliar figure chatting with her friend, Meng Hongchen suddenly felt something shatter in her heart. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked blankly at her older brother.
Xiao Hongchen froze, glancing instinctively at the skewer in his hand. This was the last one; the rest were still grilling. Seeing his younger sister about to cry, he hurriedly said, "No, don't cry. This last one is for you. I didn't mean to take it from you."
Meng Hongchen pouted, her eyes brimming with tears, and said, "Brother, I think I've been dumped."
"Huh?" Xiao Hongchen was filled with questions.
...
When Titan rushed back from outside, he saw his older brother drinking from a wine jar as soon as he entered the door.
"How's Dong'er?" Niu Tian casually tossed a wine jar to him.
Titan took the bottle, opened the cap, took a big gulp of wine, and then plopped down on the sofa. "Everything's fine. I even met a boyfriend on the way back."
"Huh?" Niu Tian was taken aback. After a three-second silence, he turned to look at his younger brother. "If I heard correctly, you just said that Dong'er met a boyfriend on her way back?"
"You heard right." Titan nodded and commented, "That kid's pretty interesting. By the way, brother, let me tell you something important."
Niu Tian's eyes became complicated. Wait, I asked you to take Dong'er back to the academy, and you took her on a blind date?
But seeing that his younger brother had something to say, he could only suppress his confusion for the time being.
Immediately, Titan recounted everything Huo Yuhao had told him to Niu Tian. After learning Huo Yuhao's thoughts, Niu Tian seemed to understand something and said, "This kid is indeed quite interesting. He probably has some special secret hidden within him."
Titan said, "Brother, should we do as this kid Yuhao says? After all, even if we go head-to-head with Tang San, we'll definitely be doomed, and Dong'er will be in trouble too."
Niu Tian's eyes flickered as he gulped down his wine. "It's a pity we didn't know this method sooner. Dong'er has returned this time, and many sect disciples saw her. If Tang San bypasses us and questions other sect members, we're doomed."
Titan shook his head. "That's why I'm discussing this with you."
Suddenly
, a faint blue-gold light shone brightly. Outside Haotian Fortress, within the tall tower, endless radiance emanated. The previously surging clouds seemed to freeze, and the howling wind calmed.
Niu Tian and Titan's eyes widened. They stood up abruptly and rushed to the window, gazing at the tower, which was over ten meters tall, watching the wisps of blue-gold light emanating from it. Niu Tian
said coldly, "It seems even the heavens aren't giving us much time to think."
"Then what do we do?" Titan clenched his fists, his voice low and menacing.
Without hesitation, Niu Tian said, "Since things have come to this, let's do as Huo Yuhao said. If we fail, I'll self-destruct to attract the attention of the God Realm. You leave the Clear Sky Sect and go into hiding. In the future, you'll go and meet Huo Yuhao in my place. I'm really interested in the secrets that kid has."
"Of course, if we succeed, everything will be different."
Niu Tian flicked his sleeves, transforming into countless emerald lights, and disappeared from the room in the blink of an eye. Titan, with a solemn expression, followed.
Inside Clear Sky Fortress, the descendants of the Clear Sky Sect living there, upon discovering the blue-gold light shining from within the pagoda, all respectfully knelt on one knee, facing the direction of the tower.
To the descendants of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang San's existence was as great as a pillar of strength, and he was their most revered figure.
While soul masters outside still needed to hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings, they could directly obtain divinely bestowed soul rings within the Sea God Pillar, and even use this power to increase the age of their soul rings.
Of course, with the benefits come rules. Niu Tian and Titan thus became sect leaders. Furthermore, descendants of the Haotian Sect are forbidden from leaving the vicinity of the Haotian Mountains without the consent of elders or higher-ranking members; violators will be punished by the sect's law enforcement.
This is why outsiders have rarely encountered Haotian Sect members over the years; only certain powerful forces have occasionally contacted the sect, knowing it still exists and hasn't been wiped out.
Moreover, the sect forbids the use of any soul tools other than storage devices. Therefore, they use oil lamps for lighting, a practice that has existed for millennia.
Not all members of the Haotian Sect reside within Haotian Fortress; there are also settlements established by descendants in the surrounding mountains. While these people are descendants, their martial souls are not the Haotian Hammer, and therefore, they haven't received the divinely bestowed soul ring reward.
When the two brothers arrived outside the tower and pushed open the door, a vast, ocean-like aura rushed towards them. Their bodies felt as if they had jumped into a boundless sea, helpless, like a small boat adrift.
The feeling came quickly and went just as fast.
Everyone here had a preliminary sense of just how powerful the gods were, and unconsciously, feelings of worship arose in their hearts.
However, the two brothers had been to the realm of gods before, so they completely ignored this aura.
Inside the pagoda, there were no superfluous decorations. In the center of the flat ground, a blue-gold pillar of light, over fifty meters long and six meters in diameter, stood majestically.
Waves surged on it, as if one could touch the ocean with their hands. Its surface faintly contained countless profound and strange light patterns, and even a single glance felt as if one's body and mind were about to merge into it.
After Niu Tian and Titan arrived in front of the pillar of light, the strange light patterns on it all brightened up in the next moment, and endless radiance condensed, transforming into a slightly illusory light and shadow.
"Tang San," Niu Tian called out, looking at the humanoid light and shadow.
The light and shadow were too illusory, making it difficult to discern faces, but the figure seemed to be smiling. "My two brothers, according to the timeline of Douluo Continent, it's been quite a while since we last met. By the way, where is Xiao Qi?"
Tang San looked around but didn't see the person he was looking for, and a sense of confusion arose within him. "
Brothers... "
Titan stood to the side, his expression unchanged, but inwardly filled with disdain.
"Something happened to Xiao Qi." Niu Tian immediately switched into acting mode, his face full of seriousness. Titan glanced at him subconsciously, then his expression also darkened; he too had begun his performance.
"What happened?" The smile on Tang San's illusory face slowly faded; he sensed something was amiss.
He had been delayed by matters of the God Realm; several planes had encountered problems, and as the God of Asura, he had to travel, so he only found the opportunity to send his divine sense to Douluo Continent today.
Originally, he could have directly sent his divine sense to Xiao Qi, but that wisp of divine consciousness dissipated along with his shattered soul, and he had lost his coordinates.
Niu Tian said in a deep voice, "You instructed us to bring Xiao Qi back, and we went. However, an accident occurred along the way. Everything was going smoothly until we were about to bring Xiao Qi back when an extremely terrifying divine power aura emanated from her, suppressing us brothers and almost causing our immediate demise."
"The power of that aura was so strong that I felt it was at least the power of a first-level god. So in the end, we had no choice but to give up bringing Xiao Qi back and let her remain at Shrek Academy."
"What?" Tang San was shocked, his expression changing slightly. "Big...brother, is this true?"
Niu Tian's expression hardened. He said, "Why would we lie to you about something like this? That aura didn't lock onto us at the time; it was only passively triggered. Otherwise, we would have died long ago. And it seems that to avoid the monitoring of the God Realm Committee, the range of this divine power was very short, only a few meters centered on Xiao Qi."
"It's fortunate you descended with your divine sense today, otherwise this matter would have dragged on for much longer. Tang San, what exactly happened to Xiao Qi? Logically, your divine sense should be attached to her to protect her, but that aura doesn't seem to belong to the Sea God. What's going on?"
Tang San looked at Niu Tian's anxious expression, his heart tightening slightly. He absolutely couldn't reveal that he had split Xiao Qi's soul into multiple parts; to outsiders, it seemed that Xiao Qi's memories were merely sealed.
But at this moment, he understood why Xiao Qi's soul, protected by his divine sense, had shattered. This was something no auspicious beast could do; someone had indeed intervened in the shadows.
Who was this deity?
Could it be the God of Destruction?
Thinking it over, Tang San's killing intent began to surface. He said in a deep voice, "Recently, I've had quite a few clashes with the God of Destruction. I suspect that the God of Destruction or one of his subordinates secretly descended to the mortal realm to attack Xiao Qi."
"The God of Destruction?" Niu Tian feigned shock, but quickly showed concern. "You hold great power in the God Realm, and the God of Destruction is already dissatisfied with you. Xiao Qi is your weakness, and he might be planning to use her to blackmail you."
Tang San said solemnly, "I only suspect him for now; I don't know exactly who it is. However, I can confirm that Xiao Qi is currently unharmed, which means that the person behind it has no intention of killing her. Leave this matter to me. My two brothers will simply follow my orders."
"No problem. If anything happens later, just tell us brothers." Niu Tian said in a deep voice, "Tang San, Er Ming and I have no children, so we treat Xiao Qi almost like our own daughter. We must make sure nothing happens to her."
Tang San looked deeply at Niu Tian, "As a father, I naturally won't stand by and watch my daughter get hurt. I'll take care of everything, brothers, don't worry."
As he spoke, the illusory divine light and shadow quietly dissipated. When the Sea God Pillar stopped shining brightly, the two brothers still stood there with solemn expressions.
"Big brother, what should we do? What about Xiao Qi?" Titan said worriedly.
Niu Tian shook his head, "If it really is the power of a first-level god, it's definitely not something we can resist. Let Tang San think of a way."
"Sigh." Titan sighed, "That's all we can do."
The two brothers talked and left the pagoda with solemn expressions.
When the heavy door closed, the Sea God Pillar, which had already quieted down, suddenly flickered again.
Outside the door, the solemnity on the two brothers' faces vanished instantly. They exchanged a glance and silently left.
...
In the God Realm, inside the Sea God's Temple, Tang San sat on his throne, muttering to himself, "Da Ming and Er Ming weren't lying. The trouble with Xiao Qi really was caused by some deity."
"If it really is the God of Destruction, then things are troublesome. With his cultivation, he'll definitely be able to see something amiss with Xiao Qi. If he uses this to cause trouble, I'll be in a difficult position."
"But if it wasn't him, then who could it be?"
Thinking this, Tang San felt a headache coming on.
Suddenly, Tang San seemed to remember something, his expression subtly changing. "I almost forgot about the God of Destruction. He's currently being groomed by the God of Destruction; he might know something. Whether the deity who attacked Xiao Qi is indeed the God of Destruction, perhaps we can get the answer from him." (
