Time Sped Up

Time flies like an arrow; it's gone in the blink of an eye.

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past five years, the mainland has generally been peaceful.

The only noteworthy event is the rebirth of Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao, who went to Shrek Academy to fight against Dragon God Douluo Mu En.

The ending was both unexpected and predictable.

Dragon God Douluo Mu En defeated Long Xiaoyao with just one move.

Sea God Pavilion Master Mu En said, "Outside of Shrek, I might exchange a few blows with you, but in Shrek City?"

Are you underestimating the Sea God's Light?

Mu En had no intention of saving the Sea God's Light for future generations; the fate of the world, which would last for millennia, hinged on this one move.

After defeating Long Xiaoyao, Mu En single-handedly attacked the Sun Moon Empire. There was little communication between them; he simply dealt a severe blow to the Sun Moon Empire palace.

The Sun Moon Empire, battered and bruised, publicly declared that their latest Soul Guidance Technology, the soul-guided array, had perfectly defended against the attack of the Dragon God Douluo.

However, a month or so passed, and the entire Sun Moon Empire was draped in mourning as the emperor passed away.

As for whether the emperor's death was related to Dragon God Douluo, that's a matter of opinion.

Anyway, Shen Yichen remembered that in the original novel, it seemed that the old emperor died during the second Continental Soul Master Tournament.

In other words... he died more than ten years ago.

With the old emperor's death, the power struggle that had been brewing beneath the surface instantly came to light.

During that period, the Sun Moon Empire strife that even the most idiotic dogs were driven to madness.

Shen Yichen knew little about the sordid aspects of the royal family.

But no matter how chaotic things get, it won't affect him.

Which prince would want to experience that punch from Dragon God Douluo a second time?

Thanks to Shen Yichen, the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy also gained the right of exemption from the battle for succession.

The two sides fought back and forth for two or three years before finally a winner was decided.

Whether it was fate or not, in the end, it was still Crown Prince Xu Tianran who ascended the throne.

And... just like in the original story, Xu Tianran became emperor despite being disabled.

I just don't know... whether he was only disabled in his legs.

During his years at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, Shen Yichen had never heard of any scandals involving Xu Tianran.

According to the Jing Hongchen, Xu Tianran declined the ministers' urging for marriage and childbirth because the Empress was still young. Furthermore, he refused to take a concubine, citing his and the Empress's vow of a lifelong commitment to each other.

The "Empress" was naturally referring to Ju Zi. Shen Yichen didn't intervene, and the two still ended up together. It's just unknown how much genuine affection they truly shared.

This is the kind of world where the 'God of Love' fell in the Douluo Continent. In a normal feudal society, do you think the ministers would believe the emperor's reasoning?

In mid-air, the matte silver aircraft resembled a supercar in the sky.

Swish~

The flying car streaked through the clouds, leaving a trail of elegant flames.

The window opened, and with his right hand on the steering wheel and his head and left hand sticking out, Shen Yichen shouted, "Shrek... your emperor is back!!"

Carefree!

That was so exhilarating!

Shen Yichen couldn't help but smile. Five years of forbearance, from now on... I won't eat beef!

He pulled his head back, his left hand on the steering wheel, and his right hand unconsciously resting on the passenger's fair thigh.

The texture is... Bingbing and icy.

Shen Yichen's face stiffened. He glanced at Snow Empress in the passenger seat and awkwardly withdrew his groping hand.

Usually, Ice Empress and the Auspicious Beast sit in the passenger seat. They drive by using manual cruise control...

However... Snow Empress doesn't seem to be too opposed to it?

Never mind, just focus on driving.

"Yichen, shall we go straight to Shrek Academy?" The Auspicious Beast's golden, fluffy head popped out from between the driver and passenger seats.

"No, before going to Shrek, let's go to Dragon City first. I promised that girl that I would bring her to Shrek in five years!"

"Oh~" The Auspicious Beast nodded obediently.

"Oh~" Ice Empress imitated the ooh sound of Auspicious Beast in a sarcastic tone.

Di Qiu'er withdrew her little head and looked at Ice Empress. Ice Empress was not intimidated at all and met the gaze of the Auspicious Beast.

They're all ancient creatures who've lived for tens of thousands of years, yet they keep making cute noises all day long.

Auspicious Beast, my foot! I, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, would never stoop to associating with such a creature!

Di Qiu'er looked at Ice Empress Ice Empress seemed to be facing a formidable enemy.

"Sister Xue'er, Sister Bing'er, she..."

Before Di Qiu'er could finish speaking, Ice Empress swiftly covered her mouth.

Ice Empress's earlobes turned rosy, and her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. "Shut up!"

Di Qiu'er smiled and nodded gently.

Ice Empress, you're nothing but a loser!

And... a two-faced loser! Not only is he subservient to Snow Empress, but he's also a complete coward to Yichen.

Di Qiu'er even felt that Snow Empress's progress might be faster than Ice Empress's.

Five years have passed, Shen Yichen has changed considerably.

From a tiny little kid just over a meter tall, he's grown to be 1.8 meters tall, no shorter than he was before he time-traveled.

Douluo Continent truly lives up to its name as the continent of hormones.

The five people in the car had all changed quite a bit. From the innocent little boy Shen Yichen had become a beautiful girl who occasionally made him lose control of his lustful thoughts.

This flying car is a masterpiece created by Shen Yichen's idea and Xiao Hongchen's technical expertise.

Although it is only a level 5 Soul Tool in terms of grade, the integration of mechanical power concept and Soul Guidance Technology concept contained within it is completely new and groundbreaking!

Besides that, Shen Yichen made quite a few other gadgets in the past five years.

"At this time, brother should be arriving in Dragon City soon, right?"

That's right, a five-seater flying car, who wouldn't have a seat?

Xiao Hongchen: What the hell...

"Probably," Shen Yichen replied.

This trip to Dragon City is not only to pick up Nan Qiuqiu, but also to collect the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow from the forbidden area of the Earth Dragon Sect.

With the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, Bing'er and Xue'er's cultivation speed will increase significantly.

After five years of relentless training, Shen Yichen finally broke through to the Soul King half a month ago, fulfilling the boast he had made in his Diary six years ago.

The two Ice and Snow Emperors and the Auspicious Beast, having accumulated considerable strength through cultivation, are leveling up quite quickly. They are now at level thirty-eight or thirty-nine.

Even in an academy like Shrek Academy, which gathers the continent's most talented students, he is a unique individual among his peers.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen's levels are no less than those of Soul Beasts who have undergone rebirth; at the age of thirteen or fourteen, their Soul Power is already at level forty-six or forty-seven.

Even so, this was because they hadn't taken any medications that would damage their fundamental health.

Of course, although their foundation and potential were unaffected, they were still far from being as good as the three Soul Beast Transformation. When the group sparred with each other, even though their Soul Power Levels were more than ten levels higher and they had Soul Tools to enhance their abilities, they were still easily defeated by the others.

With the Ultimate Ice standing there, it would be quite good if the two of them could only exert six-tenths of their full strength.

Di Qiu'er, who was wielding the Golden Dragon Spear, was nearly killed just by a glancing blow.

Over the past five years, the two have come to terms with things. Their trip to Shrek is also to find some confidence by facing other geniuses.

After all... no matter what, they are the number one geniuses of Sun Moon.
