Chapter 328: Shrek Academy, a Ten-Thousand-Year Legacy, Is Destroyed!
"Stop crying out. You're next."
Zhang Lexuan held the Silvermoon Divine Spear, her expression cold and merciless.
She was completely different from her former self now that she had fallen to darkness.
As the saying goes, falling to darkness made one ten times stronger, while returning to the light made one three times weaker.
With the abilities and equipment Zhang Lexuan possessed, even if she had to face Xian Lin'er and the other three alone, she might not necessarily be at a disadvantage.
Not to mention that she also had a level 10 soul engineer like Kong Deming supporting her.
"Zhang Lexuan, I curse you to die a horrible death!"
At the final moment of her life, Cai Meier glared at Zhang Lexuan with venomous hatred and cursed her.
Zhang Lexuan didn't take it to heart.
Her expression remained just as cold, completely unlike the woman she had once been.
"Hmph. I won't die. I'll follow Her Majesty all the way to godhood, live forever, and exist throughout eternity!"
"But you old fools from Shrek will eventually be forgotten by history. Your curses are nothing more than the unwilling cries of the dying."
"Now, I'll personally send you to join those two old fools, Mu En and Xuan Zi."
With that, soul power surged around Zhang Lexuan's body.
The Silvermoon Divine Spear released its most powerful might, while the ninth blood-red soul ring around her body shone with dazzling brilliance.
"Ninth Soul Skill: Silvermoon Heaven-Piercing Strike!"
As Zhang Lexuan's voice fell, the Silvermoon Divine Spear unleashed a terrifying shockwave that swept across an area of a thousand meters.
Xian Lin'er and the other three, who were directly at the center of the attack, were instantly swallowed by the Silvermoon Heaven-Piercing Strike.
Their bodies were completely dissolved by the Silvermoon soul power, leaving not the slightest trace behind.
After finishing everything, Zhang Lexuan slowly descended to the ground.
A few tears involuntarily rolled down from the corners of her eyes.
"Mom, Dad, Shrek is gone. You can rest in peace now."
After Xuan Zi, Xian Lin'er, and the other three had all fallen in Shrek's final battle, Qian Renxue immediately summoned the soul engineer legion stationed ten li outside Shrek Academy.
She ordered them to enter the academy and capture every student inside.
Anyone unwilling to pledge loyalty to the Spirit Empire would be executed.
The Spirit Empire had no intention of needlessly creating more bloodshed, but neither would it spare those soul masters who had been subjected to Shrek's loyalty Gu.
Several hours later, all of Shrek's members had been taken away by the soul engineer legion and would be judged one by one.
Zhang Lexuan and Kong Deming also departed with the soul engineer legion.
As for the judgment of Shrek's members, it was most appropriate to leave it to Zhang Lexuan, the former eldest senior sister of Shrek.
After falling into darkness, Zhang Lexuan had developed an intense hatred for those who remained loyal to Shrek.
She wouldn't show them the slightest mercy.
Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, and Ye Qingxian, meanwhile, arrived before the Ancient Golden Tree rooted deep within Shrek's inner courtyard.
"Ah Yuan, let's pack up this Ancient Golden Tree and bring it back to Spirit City."
Qian Renxue pointed toward the several-thousand-meter-tall Ancient Golden Tree and spoke toward the void.
"Mm."
A man's deep yet indulgent voice came from the void.
The next moment—
The towering ancient tree simply vanished before the eyes of Qian Renxue and the other two women.
Far from Shrek City stood a city that was now known as Spirit City.
It had once been called the Sun Moon City.
Inside the imperial palace of Spirit City, the Ancient Golden Tree suddenly appeared and took root deep within the ground.
Every resident of Spirit City witnessed this scene.
Some knowledgeable soul masters immediately recognized the origin of the towering golden tree.
"That's the Ancient Golden Tree of Shrek Academy! It actually appeared in our Spirit City. Looks like that infamous Shrek Academy has already been destroyed by our great Spirit Empire."
Someone shouted excitedly.
The revelation immediately spread among the surrounding people, who began cheering one after another.
"So that's the Ancient Golden Tree. But Shrek Academy being destroyed really is wonderful news."
"Exactly! Shrek Academy should've been destroyed long ago. If it weren't for Shrek Academy, we wouldn't have had to endure thousands of years of war."
"And the fact that one of the great figures of our Spirit Empire was able to move the Ancient Golden Tree here... Isn't that practically the power of a god?"
...
One voice after another rang out throughout Spirit City as the residents discussed the matter excitedly.
A few days later, news of Shrek Academy's destruction at the hands of the Spirit Empire spread across the continent.
Residents everywhere began cheering.
Hardly anyone mourned Shrek Academy's downfall.
The former residents of the Sun Moon Empire didn't need to be mentioned.
Almost every one of them harbored hatred toward Shrek Academy.
As for the residents of the former three empires of the Douluo Continent, Xuan Zi's disastrous actions, combined with the dark secrets about Shrek Academy revealed by the Spirit Empire, had caused Shrek's reputation to plummet.
When it came to Shrek's destruction, the residents of the former three empires had only one thought.
It deserved what it got!
With the empires and opposing forces throughout the Douluo Continent destroyed, the Spirit Empire had achieved true unification.
The Spirit Empire officially announced:
Ten days later, the ceremony for the unification of the empire would be held in Spirit City!
Once the news spread throughout the continent, citizens of the empire began traveling toward Spirit City in an endless stream.
They wanted to witness this historic moment.
The unification of an entire empire—this was the first time such a thing had happened in countless years!
At the same time—
The day of the empire's unification would also be the moment when Yun Yuan's true body could completely descend into the world of the Unrivaled Tang Sect timeline.
For everyone in this timeline of the Douluo Continent, it would likewise be a historic moment.
Spirit City, Imperial Palace.
"Dong'er, Xue'er, Xian'er, I'll spend these ten days preparing everything you need to break through to God King."
Yun Yuan's projection stood before Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, and Ye Qingxian.
His gaze moved between the three women.
"Xue'er, I upgraded your divine position from a First-Class God to a God King-level. Your soul power is currently at Rank 96. Over these ten days, I'll raise your soul power to Rank 99. Then, during the unification ceremony, you'll directly inherit your divine position and become a god in a single thought."
"Xian'er, you've spread the new alchemy system throughout this timeline and have already accumulated a considerable amount of faith power. Combined with your previous comprehension of the Law of Creation, you've already completed half the journey toward creating your own God King divine position. Over these next ten days, I'll help you complete the other half."
"Dong'er, because of your identity, you've gathered the least amount of faith power in this timeline. To create your own God King level divine position, you'll have to rely solely on the comprehension of your own laws. Over these ten days, I'll use the Laws of Time and Space to accelerate your comprehension, allowing you to create your own God King divine position."
"Ten days from now, the three of you can ascend to godhood at the same time. And with it happening during the unification ceremony, perhaps it will become a beautiful story for generations to come."
Yun Yuan smiled as he spoke.
The faith power of the Douluo Star in the Unrivaled Tang Sect timeline was already extraordinarily astonishing if it could produce one or two God King-level divine positions.
The reason Qian Daoliu, Bo Saixi, and Ah Yin had been able to become God Kings was partly because of the wondrous effects of the divine seeds.
Another reason was the accumulation they had built up in the Douluo Dalu I timeline.
Bo Saixi already possessed a First-Class God divine position.
As for Ah Yin, in the original timeline, she had also accumulated the faith of the two Blue Silver Clans.
