Chapter 376 Gods are always high above; Xiao Wu bumps into Huo Yuhao [56 words]
The world depicted by Yu Ye Fu Guang in "Douluo: Rebirth of Yu Hao, Their Eyes Are Strange" is all there is to it.
Without the guidance of the divine realm, they have no way to break through to the god level and can only helplessly continue to be suppressed by the laws of the Douluo plane.
This is why, after that, Yun Ming chose to take a risk and try to inherit the position of the God of Destruction at all costs.
After all, only the power of the God-King can establish a new divine realm.
Thinking of this, Yun Ming's bitterness deepened, and he sighed, "No wonder you have chosen such a tough stance to suppress the academy, and you can even mobilize the eight legions."
Now that you've taken that step, with a god-level being like yourself presiding over the Federation, indeed no one in this world dares to easily refute your will.
"This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
Before Yun Ming could recover from his shock, Long Yeyue, standing beside him, suddenly shouted out in an unusually shrill voice.
Nothing is impossible.
Faced with Long Yeyue's hysteria, Chen Xinjie remained calm, glancing at her indifferently before saying:
"Since you were able to break through and reach the Quasi-God realm through this, isn't it normal for me to put myself in a life-or-death situation and achieve the same thing?"
Upon hearing this, Long Yeyue swayed, her face paled even more, and due to extreme excitement, her cheeks flushed an unhealthy red.
She didn't care how Chen Xinjie broke through.
What she cares about is whether Chen Xinjie, who now possesses god-level strength, really has the ability to destroy Shrek Academy.
The glory of Shrek Academy had long been ingrained in her very being, becoming the sole pillar of her life.
She absolutely could not stand by and watch Chen Xinjie ruin it.
Thinking of this, Long Yeyue grasped at the last straw, her voice hoarse and pleading:
"Chen Xinjie, you can't treat me like this, and you can't treat the academy like this! You owe me. If you hadn't heartlessly chosen to leave me for the sake of your family's interests back then, my child wouldn't have died."
Why have I never forgiven you all these years, why have I always held a grudge against you? It's because that child is yours. Chen Xinjie, do you know that? That's your own flesh and blood!
Hearing Long Yeyue's final, almost desperate shout, Chen Xinjie's brows furrowed tightly.
He remembered very clearly that Long Yeyue had told him personally that the child who died young belonged to her husband, Tianjuan Douluo.
But now, in order to save Shrek Academy, she can actually change her story without hesitation and fabricate a completely different version of events.
Is Shrek Academy really so important to her that she can trample on facts at will, even at the cost of using the deceased child as a pretext?
For a moment, Chen Xinjie looked at the woman he had once deeply loved, and his disappointment deepened.
Upon hearing this, Yun Ming and Guan Yue's expressions changed drastically, becoming quite varied.
They are both direct disciples of the Heavenly Favored Douluo.
Even in their memories, although Long Yeyue had a past relationship with Chen Xinjie, since marrying Tianjuan Douluo, the two have always been recognized as the most loving model couple in the academy.
Now, their own respected master's wife has actually revealed in front of them that the child who died young was not their master's, but Chen Xinjie's.
In other words, your most respected teacher may have been a sucker for you for life, and you may not even know it until after your death.
Even after death, they have to bear this unclear and unjust label?
Yun Ming's face turned green at the thought of this possibility.
This kind of shock was even more unacceptable to him than the Federation's strong crackdown on the academy.
After all, in this kind of situation, a woman can't possibly joke about her chastity so casually, right?
Yun Ming suppressed his voice and patiently tried to dissuade him:
"Sister Yue, calm down. You don't have to ruin your and your teacher's reputation to protect the academy!"
"There's still room for negotiation regarding the Federation, and the Academy isn't something that will immediately perish. But if these words get out today, and even the slightest rumor spreads, the consequences..."
Yun Ming did not finish his sentence, but the meaning behind his words was self-evident.
However, Long Yeyue was completely deaf to any advice at this moment.
Seeing that Chen Xinjie did not show the shocked expression she had expected, Long Yeyue felt a strange sense of panic rising in her heart.
It's like the last card you held in your hand suddenly becoming useless.
Ignoring Yun Ming's reminder, she continued speaking to herself:
"When you cruelly left me back then, I had just found out I was pregnant with your child. I wanted to go find you, but not long after, I heard the news that you were getting married."
I was heartbroken at the time, which is why I agreed to marry Tianjuan. But in those hundred years, even after our marriage, I never betrayed you. You have always been my only man!
"That's enough, Sister Yue."
Seeing that Long Yeyue was getting more and more agitated and had completely disregarded propriety and shame, showing no respect for elders, Yun Ming could no longer hold back.
His usually calm tone was now filled with barely suppressed anger and disappointment.
"The teacher has been gone for many years. No matter what happened back then, what is the point of bringing it up in public now, except to embarrass everyone and even to shame the teacher in the afterlife?"
Sister Yue, you're almost halfway to your grave. For the sake of your teacher's illustrious reputation in life, and for the sake of your own reputation after death, please be careful with your words and actions!
Yun Ming never expected that, with Long Yeyue's unreserved narration, the truth of the matter would develop in such an absurd and outrageous direction.
According to her confident statement, her teacher back then was actually aware of the situation and willingly became a lifelong sucker.
Whether the matter is true or false, Yun Ming does not want to investigate it any further at this moment.
All he knew was that if these absurd remarks got out, his teacher would immediately become the laughingstock of the entire Federation's high-ranking officials, and the academy's reputation would be ruined as well.
"Yun Ming, why are you stopping me?"
Long Yeyue's expression grew increasingly agitated, and she retorted sharply:
"How could you understand my good intentions? You can only cower inside the Golden Ancient Tree now, unable to use your extraordinary cultivation. You are like a useless person. How can you protect the academy?"
I'm using my own methods to find the only chance of survival in this dead end. To save the academy for you, and for all of us!
With that, she ignored Yun Ming and instead, like a gambler who had gone all in, shouted at Chen Xinjie, "Chen Xinjie, since you don't believe what I say, you should at least believe what our ancestors said, right?"
Our ancestor has been watching all of this, and she promised me that she would resurrect our child someday. She must know the truth of what happened back then.
Ah Yin, who had been hiding in the shadows and silently observing the situation in the meeting room, felt completely numb upon hearing Long Yeyue's words.
She really didn't want to get involved in the mess between Long Yeyue, Chen Xinjie, and the long-deceased Tianjuan Douluo.
Besides, how could she possibly know whose child it was?
The Golden Tree does indeed possess the ability to absorb and store the life imprints of nearby deceased beings.
But that was over a hundred years ago. That faint, almost negligible trace of life had long since been eroded by the passage of time and merged with the immense vitality of the ancient golden tree itself, making it indistinguishable.
Even if it is resurrected in the future, the resurrected life form would be more accurately described as a new life nurtured by the Golden Ancient Tree rather than as Long Yeyue's child.
In a situation where even the mother's identity is uncertain, how can we determine who the child's father is?
Furthermore, she and Ahao are currently at a crucial stage of their planning. The more unnecessary things they do, the easier it will be for them to slip up, arouse the suspicion of the Golden Ancient Tree Spirit, and thus expose their true purpose.
Her goal is to completely replace the Golden Tree Spirit, become the life core of the Douluo plane, and then control the entire plane to pave the way for the resurrection of her son.
In comparison, so what if Shrek Academy is really brought down by the Federation?
If Xiao San can successfully revive and return in the future, rebuilding Shrek Academy will be a piece of cake with the power of a God-King.
What puzzled Ah Yin the most was how Chen Xinjie was able to break through to the god level under the suppression of the rules of the Douluo plane.
Based on the current life levels and rule restrictions of the Douluo Continent, it should be impossible to break through to the god level.
Just like Da Ming and Er Ming, who once followed Xiao San, after losing the nourishment of the immortal spiritual energy provided by the God Realm and being suppressed by the laws of the Douluo Plane, their cultivation level had long since fallen back to the quasi-god realm.
But she is, after all, only the Blue Silver Emperor, and does not understand the specific cultivation methods of humans. Perhaps there is some great terror between life and death that can break a person's shackles?
Thinking of this, Ah Yin's gaze towards Chen Xinjie became thoughtful.
Now that I've been called out, it's no longer appropriate to hide.
The space in the center of the conference room was slightly distorted.
A soft, blue-gold halo appeared out of thin air, and the graceful Ah Yin stepped out from it, slowly speaking:
"Patriarch of the Sea God Family, I now fully understand the matter you were arguing about."
But you should also remember that I previously asked Ye Yue to take the Vast Ocean Universe Crystal to you, so that you would go to the sea and maintain the authority left behind by the Sea God.
But you should also remember that I previously asked Ye Yue to take the Vast Ocean Universe Crystal to you, so that you would go to the sea and maintain the authority left behind by the Sea God.
At this point, Ah Yin's tone became slightly more forceful:
"Now that you have broken through to the god level and returned, have you killed those three soul beasts that entrenched themselves in the sea and wreaked havoc, attempting to seize the power of the sea god?"
Compared to Long Yeyue's ridiculous and absurd affairs, Ah Yin was clearly more concerned about the final fate of the three soul beasts.
And whether Huo Yuhao's shadow is truly hidden behind those three soul beasts.
Unlike Guan Yue, who was speechless with shock at Ah Yin's sudden appearance, Chen Xinjie's tense expression relaxed considerably upon seeing the person he had finally lured out.
Based on what he had learned from his conversation with Huo Yuhao, Chen Xinjie remained extremely calm and began to ramble on, half-truthfully:
"Our ancestors should know that the blood of our Sea God family is that of the first Sea God."
At that time, as the Vast Ocean Crystal shattered and merged into the sea, I was also affected and fell into the deep sea, nearly losing my life on the spot.
Perhaps it was the divine intervention of Lord Poseidon that allowed me to be unexpectedly influenced by the unsealed powers of the sea gods when I was on the verge of death, breaking through the shackles between life and death, and thus miraculously breaking through to the god level.
As for the three soul beasts, they had already vanished without a trace after I awoke; their whereabouts were unknown.
After listening to Chen Xinjie's somewhat bizarre but logically coherent explanation, A Yin's eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
In her current state, she certainly doesn't have the ability to directly discern the truth or falsehood in the other person's words.
But then I thought about it again. After all, Chen Xinjie belonged to the Sea God family, who had worshipped the Sea God for generations, and was the most loyal believer of the Sea God.
Even now, with the shattered divine essence of the Sea God remaining in Xiao Wu, it's uncertain whether Xiao San will be able to regain the Sea God's position even after her resurrection.
However, considering their past relationship, the other party shouldn't betray their son to seek refuge with someone else.
Just as Ah Yin was deep in thought, Long Yeyue, who was standing to the side, could no longer suppress her anger and impatiently interrupted:
"So Chen Xinjie, is this your attitude? You survived a near-death experience, and the first thing you do is rush over to target the academy?"
Ask yourself honestly, has the academy ever mistreated you? Even your breakthrough to the God level this time was thanks to the Vast Ocean Universe Crystal that the academy has treasured for many years.
And what about that score we haven't settled yet? Where do you get the nerve to sit here and talk to me about the Federation, about the big picture?
Hearing Long Yeyue repeatedly emphasize that she owed Shrek Academy and Long Yeyue, Chen Xinjie tapped his fingers on the table and said calmly:
"When I chose to stay behind to cover for you without hesitation, we were even."
As for that child, just like I told you before, as long as it's your child, even if it's a child blessed by heaven, I can still treat it as my own and raise it as my own.
As for targeting Shrek Academy? As the Temple Master of the War God and the Vice Speaker of the Federation, all my decisions have been made in the best interests of the Federation as a whole. This is a difference in ideology and stance.
"You can't change the established facts by throwing a tantrum or making a scene here."
Although Chen Xinjie's words were cold and harsh, his heart was already as clear as a mirror.
After listening to Huo Yuhao recount the truths hidden behind the events, and combining this with the various messages circulating among the high-ranking members of the Soul Master world about the God Realm, he, as the military leader, had already made his own decision.
God is always high above.
They never reveal their plans to mortals, nor do they care about the lives or deaths of mortals.
Tang San, the Sea God whom his family had served for generations, had managed to isolate the Douluo plane from the God Realm while controlling the central hub of the God Realm, thus cutting off the path for mortals to become gods.
As a result, more than 6,000 years ago, the Douluo plane suffered a massive invasion from the Abyss plane, and that fierce battle resulted in the deaths of more than 200,000 people in the Federation.
Even after that, Poseidon Tang San never took over the Douluo Plane again, allowing Douluo Star to continue to be invaded and threatened by the Abyss.
Could it be that this, like the collision between the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent, is also the grand plan of that Sea God, the opportunity for the Douluo plane to evolve on its own?
However, it wasn't until more than two thousand years ago that the realm of gods was caught in a temporal turbulence and shattered.
What was Tang San, the Sea God, doing during the long years before this?
No wonder that after the Goddess of Life was awakened by Ya Li's aura, Devil Island, which had always been Shrek Academy's private territory, immediately severed all ties with Shrek Academy.
And this seemingly gentle Ah Yin is actually plotting to seize the core position of life in the entire plane.
Every effect has a cause.
As a high-ranking official in the Federation, Chen Xinjie was supported by the people and was also a member of the Douluo Continent. Naturally, he could not sit idly by and let these so-called "gods" push the Douluo Continent into the abyss.
The reason why they chose to put such a strong pressure on Shrek Academy this time, even at the cost of causing short-term turmoil in the Federation, was precisely to muddy the waters.
Only in this way could he find a way to expose the Holy Spirit Cult's spies hidden within the Federation, and also give the Federation and himself a legitimate reason to station troops within Shrek Academy.
In order to closely monitor everything happening here, and to prevent Ah Yin from doing something irreversible in a desperate situation.
Upon hearing Chen Xinjie's words, Long Yeyue's eyes turned bloodshot.
She couldn't believe that Chen Xinjie, who had always loved her deeply, could now say in such a cold tone that she was being unreasonable.
She wanted to continue her hysterical rebuttal, but was stopped by Ah Yin who was standing to the side.
Ah Yin's gentle smile did not diminish in the slightest despite Chen Xinjie's forceful tone. She softly replied, "When Xiao San was alive, he often said that gods cannot arbitrarily interfere with the natural development of the mortal realm."
Now that history has progressed to the point where Shrek needs to step back from the limelight, I naturally won't go against the tide, so I have no objections.
However, since you've given us a few months to process this, let's leave it at that for now. We'll leave the specific decision to our academy for internal discussion.
……
Meanwhile, in Qiankun Wenqing Valley and Eros Town.
The streets were bustling with people, and a sweet, pink atmosphere permeated the air.
A woman in a light pink dress was walking alone in the crowd, looking lost.
Her face was slightly pale, and she looked somewhat sickly, but her stunning beauty was still undeniable.
Her long black hair was carefully styled into a scorpion braid that reached past her hips, swaying gently with her steps.
Clearly already mature However, her every move exudes a youthful innocence.
However, at this moment, her large, bright eyes, which should have been lively, were filled with a sense of emptiness.
Xiao Wu felt both envy and sorrow as she watched the couples around her openly displaying their affection.
For some reason, the lively scene made her feel even more lonely and desolate.
However, in order to find Zhu Zhuqing, who had been missing for several days and whose whereabouts were still unknown, she once again left the small world without telling Daming and Erming.
Having lost the extra life energy supply from the small world, and with something unknown having happened a few days ago, the shattered sea god's divine essence that had remained in her body suddenly vibrated, becoming even more incomplete.
And this severely damaged sea god's divine essence is now constantly backfiring on her soul, making her complexion increasingly unsightly.
Despite her already exhausted body, she tried to find the missing Zhu Zhuqing.
Besides worrying about Zhu Zhuqing's safety, he also wanted to see Ning Rongrong, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
But when Xiao Wu actually arrived at the Valley of Love and Destiny, she realized that she had absolutely no clue how to find Ning Rongrong.
Zhu Zhuqing has been in charge of handling all the liaison work for this matter.
Even though a kind person had just told her that if she could find the saintess here, she might be able to meet the god of love.
But in this vast sea of people, where is that Holy Maiden?
Suffering from the backlash from the Sea God's divine essence within her body, Xiao Wu's head began to throb with pain, and her vision started to blur.
But just then, as her nostrils twitched slightly, she seemed to suddenly smell a unique and comforting scent in the murky air.
The previously chaotic thoughts seemed to be soothed by a gentle hand, bringing a moment of peace.
My body followed that aura almost uncontrollably.
It wasn't until she bumped into an unusually warm and broad back that Xiao Wu seemed to suddenly wake up from a sleepwalking state.
She gasped, took a half-step back, her large, watery eyes filled with panic, and quickly bowed, apologizing profusely:
"I'm sorry, I was distracted and didn't watch where I was going. Did I bump into you?"
Huo Yuhao turned around and looked at the woman in front of him who was bowing her head and apologizing to him in a panic. He was speechless for a moment.
