God Kings Take Turns; This Year, It's My Turn

To the Taiji Diagram, there was not much difference between a spiritual attribute like Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and ultimate darkness like Di Tian. As long as a soul beast's cultivation was strong enough, it could be chosen freely.

The only question was, how was he supposed to explain this to the Grand Pure Daoist Venerable?

Thinking of this, Li Changsheng asked curiously, "Tian Meng, did you see an old man wearing a yin-yang Daoist robe in my Sea of Consciousness?"

"Huh? You know he exists? I thought you didn't and was just about to tell you."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was somewhat surprised, clearly not expecting this.

"Then after he saw you, did he show any displeasure?"

Wouldn't it be disastrous if Morality Heavenly Venerate became unhappy because Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had joined him?

Before the Grand Pure Daoist Venerable, what the hell was Sky Dream Ice Silkworm?

So unless someone had their brain caught in a door, no one would choose to offend Morality Heavenly Venerate for the sake of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. After all, with a single move, he had already reached the limit of this universe.

"Displeasure? I don't think so."

After thinking for a moment, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm shook his head. "That human seemed quite peaceful. He gave me the feeling of a lofty master who had attained the Dao."

Li Changsheng was speechless upon hearing that.

A lofty master who had attained the Dao? It was only because your world was too pathetic to deserve knowing his title. You'd probably be scared out of your wits if you did.

"That's good. Tian Meng, I don't know why you chose me, but I need to remind you: don't offend him, and don't disturb him either. Otherwise, not even a god could save you."

To be safe, Li Changsheng felt that he still needed to give Sky Dream Ice Silkworm a warning. After all, as long as Morality Heavenly Venerate did not act, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was still quite useful.

"Don't worry. Even if you hadn't said it, I'm not stupid enough to provoke him for no reason. Just looking at him, I could tell he wasn't someone to mess with." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm lay on the ground and spoke nonchalantly.

For it, all that mattered was becoming a god while lying down, thereby escaping the Heavenly Tribulation and the ravages of time. Nothing else mattered. Back when it was outside, it could not even defeat hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, let alone this mysterious powerhouse who could freely enter and leave another person's Sea of Consciousness.

After giving his warning, Li Changsheng turned around and looked at Mother Jiang and Jiang Nannan, who were walking toward him.

"Changsheng, how are you? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

After arriving before Li Changsheng, Jiang Nannan hurriedly asked.

"No. Don't worry, I'm perfectly healthy."

Li Changsheng shook his head and answered.

"That's good. In that case, let's leave quickly."

With that, Mother Jiang led Li Changsheng and Jiang Nannan out of the Star Dou Great Forest, heading straight for Shrek City.

As for Huo Yuhao, who might not even have arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest yet, Li Changsheng had never taken him seriously.

Not to mention that Huo Yuhao no longer had Sky Dream Ice Silkworm as his cheat, but even if he did, so what?

He had the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, the Taiji Diagram, and the Grand Pure Daoist Venerable.

Forget a mere fragment of Electrolux's consciousness—even Electrolux at his peak would only be kicked around like a ball by Morality Heavenly Venerate.

So, if Huo Yuhao still became Tang San's dog in the future, Li Changsheng would not mind personally sending him on his way. After all, as the saying went, god kings took turns sitting; this year, it was his turn.

With such advantages, if he did not drag Tang San down from the position of God King, wouldn't that be a waste?

"Nannan, I'll head back first. Take Changsheng to register and have a look around yourself."

After returning to Shrek City and getting out of the carriage, Mother Jiang spoke.

"Huh? Mom, aren't you coming with us?" Jiang Nannan asked doubtfully.

"What would I go for? Do you think Changsheng's strength isn't enough to pass Shrek Academy's assessment?" Mother Jiang rolled her eyes. When would this girl realize that she was creating an opportunity for the two of them to be alone?

"Alright, then."

Jiang Nannan did not object. Under Mother Jiang's gaze, she led Li Changsheng toward the registration area.

Watching their retreating figures, Mother Jiang revealed a bright, satisfied smile.

If these two little ones could end up together, she would never have to worry again. As long as nothing unexpected happened, Li Changsheng would undoubtedly become a peak Douluo at the very least in the future.

"Sister Nannan, how have you been at Shrek Academy these past few years? If I run into trouble, would dropping your name help?"

As they walked toward registration, Li Changsheng looked at the stunning girl beside him and asked curiously.

"It wouldn't."

Jiang Nannan shook her head and said helplessly, "I'm not a disciple of some great clan. What kind of influential reputation could I have?"

"That can't be right, can it? I heard Auntie say that you're known as the number one beauty of the Outer Court."

Li Changsheng blinked in confusion. "Shouldn't people refrain from giving me trouble out of consideration for their campus belle?"

"You know I'm the number one beauty of the Outer Court!"

Jiang Nannan smiled brightly and gently reminded him, "Then tell me, if the people pursuing me learned that I was close to you, and that Mom even intended to marry me to you, how do you think they would treat you?"

"That's true!"

After thinking it over and realizing that it was indeed the case, Li Changsheng abandoned the idea.

Forget it, he should take things one step at a time. As for relying on a woman, that path did not seem very workable.

With Jiang Nannan's guidance and help, Li Changsheng entered Shrek Academy with ease.

What puzzled him, however, was why he had been assigned to Zhou Yi's class.

Although his own strength and physique meant that Zhou Yi's training would not pose any problem, that did not mean he liked such training. If he could choose, he would rather pick Mu Jin next door than Zhou Yi, that old witch. If her husband had not been Fan Yu, she would probably have long since been expelled from the academy and faced retaliation from the forces behind the students she had expelled.

"Did capital rig this against me, or is my luck really this bad?"

Noticing that Li Changsheng had fallen into a daze, Jiang Nannan seemed to understand something. She whispered, "You don't want to go to Class One? I heard that although Teacher Zhou Yi is very strict, the students she trains are exceptionally outstanding."

"Give me a break."

Li Changsheng merely chuckled and said disdainfully, "Do you really think that's her achievement? If those people hadn't already been geniuses and elites, and if she hadn't expelled everyone who failed to meet her standards, do you think her advancement rate would be so high? In the end, she merely taught geniuses into becoming geniuses."
