The Legend of the Dragon King

Panda Novel

Zang Xin interrupted his question. “That is impossible. Her bioelectric charge has already completely fused with thousands of Positive Circulation Source Core units. As soon as there are any changes to her charge, it will immediately result in her body detonating. Thus, there’s nothing anyone can do to change this. The only possibility is that she makes a quantum leap in her research.”

Everything that Ling Zichen said earlier echoed in Tang Wulin’s mind. She had mentioned that if she could make a breakthrough one day, she could even live for eternity.

Every human feared death, and she was no exception. She yearned for life and anticipated that she could live longer. However, she was still sacrificing herself for the Tang Sect without turning back.

Tang Wulin took a deep breath and said, “Your Excellency, I understand now. Don’t worry. I’ll guard her well for the Tang Sect.”

“Hmm, that’s good then. Do humor her a little more. Of course, you have to promptly stop her when she gets too crazy,” said Zang Xin in jest.

‘She is too crazy…

‘But what if I feel that she is too crazy at all times?’

Tang Wulin grumbled to himself.

He had no choice but to wait after this. He would stand by for more information to be collected before he made a prediction. He would never act rashly before he could determine the target explicitly, of course.

He waited in such a manner for half a month.

The federal military had started frequent mobilization within that time, including all sorts of resources. It was apparent that a war was coming.

However, there was still no information related to the Eternal Heaven. In fact, even the Sea God Army had not been activated, but remained stationed at Mingdu.

The Amorous Douluo and the Heartless Douluo had been sent back from the federal parliament. They were only told to prepare the Tang Sect to take part in the war at any time. They were not given any additional information.

It was apparent that the Federation still did not trust Tang Sect but were only seizing this opportunity to make the Tang Sect an accomplice in this war. Moreover, the Tang Sect was not allowed to intervene.

Schooling at Shrek Academy was on the right track. The quality of this batch of students was rather impressive and they were very hardworking as well. Even though the majority of the teachers were new, they were all highly motivated. Furthermore, the construction of the buildings around Sea God Lake had begun. Everything was growing with each passing day.

It was even more gratifying that the environment in Sea God Lake was improving under the silent influence of the resurrected Ancient Life Tree. Algae-like plants had already begun to grow on the bottom of the lake. When the environment had recovered and the destruction energy from the past had faded, they could begin to bring more life forms to strengthen the ecology inside Sea God Lake even further.

Tang Wulin had no choice but to acknowledge that building the entrance to the Seven Holy Abyss was definitely the correct choice.

The Seven Holy Abyss had not only become a part of Shrek Academy, but more importantly, its presence had accelerated the deterioration of the destruction energy in Sea God Lake. The seven old demons compelled the destructive power inside the Seven Holy Abyss to absorb the destruction energy in the lake so the small plane could be stabilized. This was taking care of the Ancient Life Tree’s problem, so the situation could be described as mutually beneficial.

The seven old demons would only behave themselves when they were facing the Ancient Life Tree. After all, it was the Life Seed of the entire plane, so they were trying to support it.

Spirit Academy had also begun their usual teachings. The Spirit Pagoda had quieted down temporarily due to the oncoming war. No one had any idea what they were doing. However, Tang Wulin could confirm that they would never succumb to loneliness easily. It was only that they dared not act rashly at the moment.

Another week passed, and Tang Wulin finally received word that the Sea God Army was activated. It would advance toward the Northsea Fleet.

The Sea God Army was massive in size so mobilizing it could not be concealed from anybody. Judging by the traffic conditions, it would only take one week at most for the entire Sea God Army to arrive at the Northsea Fleet’s location. On the other hand, the main army contingent was also heading in that direction. Once the gathering was complete, the war could be waged at any time.

‘I must act now!”

“You can leave the day after tomorrow,” said Long Yeyue in a deep voice as she looked at Tang Wulin. He had just been reporting to her.

Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment. There was not much time left at this point. It would be harder to handle the situation if the process was delayed for two more days.

Long Yeyue said, “I’m going over for a trip first. Wait until you hear from me.”

Elder Long was going over? For some reason, Tang Wulin could not help feeling astonished. On the other hand, Long Yeyue seemed to be having a great deal of difficulty when she made this decision. Tang Wulin could see all sorts of complicated emotions in her beautiful eyes.

Naturally, Tang Wulin could figure out the nature of her visit.

“Elder Long… you…”

Long Yeyue waved his hand to stop him from saying anymore. She smiled. “I’ve already thought this through. The academy’s resurgence and Tang Sect’s resurgence can’t just depend on the younger people’s effort! There are certain things that you just can’t run away from. I’ve already avoided this and locked it up for a very long time. Alright. Wait until you hear from me.”

Upon saying that, she took one step forward and vanished into thin air without waiting for Tang Wulin to reply.

Tang Wulin looked at the spot where Elder Long disappeared. He could not help heaving a sigh inwardly. There was truly a dearth of information related to the Eternal Heaven. Elder Long was aware of that, of course, and she was even more aware that their mission’s chances of success were certainly low. As a result, she made the decision to take action personally.

For Shrek, Elder Long was even willing to let go of her honor that she valued most. The older generation from Shrek were worthy of their admiration.

The Sea God Army would be moving through a land route this time. It was apparent that transport over this route was not as easy as the sea route. However, modernized land transportation was much simpler and easier due to the existence of soul trains.

The large-scale devices had already been transported via the sea route and arrived in the Northsea Army Corps earlier. The items being moved by land would reach the Sea God Army and head to Northsea Fleet. This cargo was all advanced military equipment along with about eighty percent of the soldiers from the Sea God Army.

For that, the Federation had intentionally assigned a special train route for the Sea God Army. There was a total of thirty special trains assigned to transport all the manpower and material.

The Boundless Sea Douluo was amongst the last batch of departing soldiers. He boarded the twenty-seventh train and sat in his luxury car. His eyes were on the scenery flying past the window.

After entering quasigod rank, his cultivation base no longer had much need of further development. He had already formed his own circuit within his body and between Heaven and Earth as well.

Naturally, His cultivation base was stable. At the very least, nothing would change before he died.

It was not possible for him to have another breakthrough due to the limitations posed by the absence of the Divine Realm. He was already getting old, so he was well aware that there was no hope of ascending to Godhood anymore.

There were far fewer plants compared to when he was young. He could see towering buildings from the window. There were many forests of steel and iron while the authentic green hue was rarely seen these days.

Chen Xinjie heaved an emotional sigh inwardly. The reason that the Federation was in a rush to plunder resources was apparently the discovery that the planet’s life force was depleting. Massive amounts of resources were needed for research to open up a path to the cosmos as soon as possible.

There were already three batches of exploration ships sent out by this point. The first batch never returned while the second batch found some nearby planets and had even managed to bring back some samples. Although they had yet to find a place suitable for mankind’s survival, at least looking into space exploration had put them on the right track.

Since the Douluo Star could sustain the existence of mankind, why would there not be other similar planets nearby?

As a result, he had been very supportive of this research all this while. Nevertheless, he was also well aware that traversing space was certainly not an easy feat. The Federation had begun to focus some of their attention on improving the environment as well. The Douluo Star needed to last at least until their space exploration yielded results. Otherwise, humanity would eventually have to face its own doom.

Because of this, the research on producing energy using rare metals had ceased for many years. Some research on this matter that required massive amounts of energy had been stopped as well.

Despite all this, the environment continued its decline just as before.
