Zodiac Temple

Biodata

Organization and Membership

Leadership and Secrecy

Chu Ye founded the Zodiac Temple using the clone-creation ability and Twelve Talismans supplied by his Fate System. Its secret purpose is to generate Fate Points by interfering with important destinies, rather than pursue a publicly declared political or religious cause 1.

The organization combines masked operatives with agents embedded in established factions. During the attack on Shrek Academy, Chu Ye arranged for his clones to fight one another: Chen Dragon defended Shrek while You Rooster and Mao Rabbit played the invaders 5.

• Central coordination: The clones discuss operations inside Chu Ye’s Sea of Consciousness, including the Spirit Pagoda ceremony and the Snow Empress Embryo operation 9 26 30.
• Control of the Talismans: Chu Ye’s Twelve Zodiac Diagram Martial Soul allows him to use some Talisman abilities while the clones possess them and instantly recall the Talismans 1.
• Concealed origins: Shrek’s Inspection Corps cannot uncover the organization’s background, and outsiders initially know only a few of its twelve codenames 2.

History

Founding and Reputation

Over the years, Chu Ye used his clones and accumulated Fate Points to establish the Zodiac Temple. He remained at Shrek Academy while the clones operated elsewhere on the continent 1.

Before the attack on Shrek, the Temple already had a reputation for miraculous powers and unpredictable conduct. Tang Ya described its members as dangerous to both orthodox Soul Masters and Evil Soul Masters, while Bei Bei warned that their apparent kindness did not make their intentions trustworthy 2.

Shrek Academy Collapse Plan

The operation began with Wu Horse healing the badly injured Huo Yuhao and giving him a recommendation letter to Shrek Academy. Huo Yuhao subsequently defended Wu Horse against Tang Ya and Bei Bei’s warnings, judging him by the help he had received 1 2.

You Rooster then attacked Shrek with Planetary Devastation while Mao Rabbit held off its defenders. Mu En intervened, and Chen Dragon—acting as Torch Dragon Douluo—destroyed the enormous projectile to establish himself as one of the academy’s protectors 3 4 5.

Meanwhile, Si Snake and Wu Horse reached Wang Dong beside Sea God Lake. Chu Ye staged a failed attempt to protect her, allowing Wu Horse to remove Tang San’s imprint from her Sea of Consciousness. The severed connection inflicted a severe backlash on Tang San 6.

Zi Rat then animated Shrek’s Sea God statue. You Rooster and Mao Rabbit pretended to retreat before its power, escaping through Si Snake’s abilities. The apparent divine intervention led the God of Destruction to punish Tang San for supposedly interfering with the lower realm. When Tang San sent his actual projection to investigate, the statue denounced it as an impostor, prompting Shrek’s experts, Da Ming, and Er Ming to attack it 7 8 9.

The attack damaged Shrek’s buildings and forced students into temporary tents, but no one died. Its deeper objectives remained unclear to most witnesses 13 24.

Creation of Wei Goat and the Soul Spirit Alliance

Chu Ye used the resulting windfall to create Wei Goat and upgrade the Sheep Talisman. Creating the level 98 clone cost nearly 300,000 Fate Points, while the Talisman upgrade cost another 500,000 18.

Wei Goat, Si Snake, and Wu Horse entered the Star Dou Great Forest’s core region to negotiate with Di Tian. They offered treatment for the Silver Dragon King in exchange for support for the Spirit Pagoda’s Soul Spirit Plan 18.

To demonstrate the method, Si Snake abducted Tang Ya and brought her to the Lake of Life. Wei Goat helped her form an equal contract with a dying ten-thousand-year Golden Radiant Bamboo. The successful transformation convinced the Silver Dragon King to support the plan, and Wu Horse partially treated her Asura God Sword injuries 19.

With Gu Yuena’s approval, Wei Goat established the Spirit Pagoda between Shrek Academy and the Star Dou Great Forest. Di Tian marked a stone stele with Dragon God Claw to announce that the Pagoda was jointly founded by the forest and the Zodiac Temple 20.

Spirit Pagoda Preparations

When Mu En and Yan Shaozhe investigated the Pagoda, Wei Goat separated Yan Shaozhe’s soul from his body. Mu En secured his release by promising a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone. Wei Goat subsequently invited Shrek to the founding ceremony scheduled for thirty days later 22 23.

The ceremony placed Chu Ye’s network on several participating teams: Chu Ye was chosen to lead Shrek’s delegation, Zhu Hai led the Sun Moon Royal Academy team, and Mu Xuan captained the Body Sect team 24 25 26.

Tang San recognized the Spirit Pagoda as a threat to his plans for Douluo Star’s power of fate. Unable to intervene openly under the God of Destruction’s scrutiny, he planned to use his remaining divine consciousness in Qiankun Asking Love Valley against it 26.

Snow Empress Embryo Operation

Mu Xuan informed the Temple that the Heavenly Soul Empire and Body Sect intended to auction the Level 9 God Sealing Platform containing the Snow Empress Embryo in Shrek City. Their operation was partly intended to test the Spirit Pagoda’s foundations, without realizing that their own prospective next-generation holy son was a Temple agent 30.

Chu Ye identified the Snow Empress as suitable for Wei Goat’s Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, and Si Snake agreed to seize the platform first. The acquisition remained a plan in the supplied chapters 30.

Abilities and Methods

Fate System and Clone Development

The Temple’s activities feed Chu Ye’s Fate System, which rewards changes to significant characters’ destinies 1.

• Fate Points can purchase goods, strengthen abilities, and create powerful clones 1 18.
• A clone’s Soul Power rank does not fully represent its combat strength: Talisman abilities allow members to challenge opponents of higher rank 3 4 18.
• Further advancement remains costly. Raising Wei Goat from level 98 to level 99 was estimated to require about 300,000 additional Fate Points; Chu Ye chose not to purchase it at that time 18.

Soul Control and Soul Spirits

Wei Goat’s upgraded Sheep Talisman supplies the soul manipulation underlying the Soul Spirit Method 18.

• A Soul Beast leaves its physical body and enters an equal contract with a Soul Master, retaining intelligence and the ability to fight independently 21.
• A Soul Spirit can provide multiple Soul Rings as its partner advances, reducing the need to hunt additional Soul Beasts 21 25.
• The demonstrated contract required trust and a nonresisting Soul Beast; eligible Soul Masters must be approaching a breakthrough 19 25.
• Wei Goat’s coordination reduced Tang Ya’s burden during the process. She therefore suspected that widespread adoption would initially be difficult 21.
• His soul control can also be used offensively, as shown when he removed Yan Shaozhe’s soul from his body 22.

Healing and Divine-Force Removal

Wu Horse’s healing extends beyond ordinary physical injuries 1 6 19.

• He restored Huo Yuhao after the Wind Baboon attack 1.
• He erased Tang San’s imprint from Wang Dong’s Sea of Consciousness 6.
• He expelled part of the Asura God Sword’s residual force from the Silver Dragon King, but stopped from exhaustion before completing treatment 19.
• Resurrection remains unconfirmed: Chu Ye and Wu Horse suggest that the Temple can revive the dead, but the supplied chapters show statue animation rather than the resurrection of a deceased person 17 21.

Animation and Impersonation

Zi Rat’s Turning Stillness into Motion gives life to inanimate objects through the Rat Talisman 7.

• The animated Sea God statue possessed convincing divine power and acted as though it were Tang San 7 8.
• Its impersonation deceived Shrek’s supporters and caused divine authorities to blame the real Tang San 8 9.
• The statue’s divine power was rejected by Douluo Star. During its ascent, its life and power were withdrawn, returning it to stone 9.

Infiltration and Coordinated Deception

Si Snake’s abilities allow the Temple to bypass defenses and withdraw without leaving an obvious trace 7 18.

• Members entered Shrek Academy and the Star Dou Great Forest’s core region without advance detection 6 10 18.
• Si Snake concealed and extracted You Rooster and Mao Rabbit during their staged defeat 7.
• Embedded clones supply intelligence and influence decisions within Shrek Academy, Sun Moon Royal Academy, and the Body Sect 9 23 26 30.

Assets and Facilities

• Twelve Talismans — The foundation of the clones’ supernatural abilities; their origins are carried by Chu Ye’s Twelve Zodiac Diagram Martial Soul 1.
• Shrek City safe house — Equipped with a warning device and used to create Wei Goat 18.
• Spirit Pagoda — A three-hundred-meter tower between Shrek and the Star Dou Great Forest, headed by Wei Goat 20.
• Dragon God Claw stele — Di Tian’s public mark of the Spirit Pagoda’s partnership with the Star Dou Great Forest 20.
• Promised hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone — Offered by Mu En for Yan Shaozhe’s release; delivery was promised, not shown 22.

Relationships

• Shrek Academy — Public adversary and infiltration target. Its leaders remain wary of the Temple, while Chen Dragon secretly influences their decisions from within 5 10 23.
• Star Dou Great Forest — Partner in the Spirit Pagoda project, providing willing Soul Beasts under Gu Yuena’s approval and Bi Ji’s screening 19 20.
• Gu Yuena / Silver Dragon King — Accepts the Soul Spirit Plan after its demonstration and receives partial treatment from Wu Horse 19 20.
• Di Tian — Negotiating partner and public guarantor of the Spirit Pagoda’s connection to the forest 18 20.
• Huo Yuhao — Saved and recommended to Shrek by Wu Horse; hopes the Temple might offer a way to revive his mother 1 2 17.
• Tang Ya — Abducted for the Soul Spirit demonstration, then released unharmed with a ten-thousand-year Soul Spirit. Her hope of reviving her parents leads her to withhold the Silver Dragon King’s treatment from Shrek 19 20 21.
• Wang Dong — Target of Wu Horse’s imprint-removal operation; continues to suspect sinister motives despite feeling better afterward 6 13.
• Tang San — Enemy whose divine imprint and projection are attacked through the Temple’s schemes; later seeks to eradicate both the Temple and Spirit Pagoda 6 9 26.
• Sun Moon Royal Academy and Body Sect — Unwitting hosts of Hai Pig and Chou Ox, respectively 9 25 30.

Public Reputation

• Unpredictable rather than openly aligned: Tang Ya describes the Temple as “both righteous and evil,” attacking orthodox and evil practitioners alike 2.
• Difficult to investigate: Its hidden membership and elusive movements initially make it more frightening to other factions than an organization with a visible base 2 25.
• Respected for overwhelming individual abilities: Mao Rabbit’s speed, You Rooster’s large-scale attack, and Wei Goat’s soul control force even Shrek’s senior experts to treat it cautiously 9 22 23.
• More exposed after establishing the Pagoda: Continental factions welcome the appearance of a fixed base because they expect future disciples, subordinates, and institutional ties to create vulnerabilities 25.
• Strategically disruptive: Jing Hongchen fears that Soul Spirits will strengthen traditional Soul Masters and reduce the relative advantage of Soul Engineers, but chooses investigation over immediate war 25.
