Sun Moon Empire, The Holy Spirit Cult's Assassination Plan!

Half a month later.

The Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult jointly orchestrated a final assassination plan targeting Gu Tian.

To ensure the assassination plan could be carried out smoothly, the Sun Moon Empire specifically mobilized sleeper agents who had been lurking in the Star Luo Empire for many years.

Star Luo Empire, Star Luo Imperial Capital.

Night fell, and moonlight spilled over the empty city, like lonely strings playing the desolation of the deep night.

Located in the center of the city, inside a luxurious mansion.

A middle-aged figure looked at the letter in his hand, his gaze flickering slightly.

His name was Luo Yun, the head of the Luo Clan. His soul power had reached the realm of an 88th-rank Soul Douluo. He held a high position in the Star Luo Empire and served as the commander of the Imperial Guard protecting the Star Luo Imperial Palace.

Besides this, he had another identity: a sleeper agent planted by the Sun Moon Empire in the Star Luo Empire for many years.

Or rather, apart from the family head, Luo Yun, the entire Luo Clan was the same.

It was just that some of the younger clan members were unaware of it themselves.

The Luo Clan originated from the Heaven Dou Empire four thousand years ago. They were one of the seven great clans of the Heaven Dou Empire, and their influence in the imperial court was extraordinary.

It was a pity that, following the collapse of the Heaven Dou Empire and having backed the wrong side, they gradually declined.

Eventually, after several twists and turns, they defected to the Sun Moon Empire of that time and, under the instructions of their new master, came to the Star Luo Empire.

With the secret support of the Sun Moon Empire, the Luo Clan gained a firm foothold in the Star Luo Empire and climbed step by step to their current status.

The ambitious Sun Moon Empire had done many such things.

Except for Shrek Academy, where they truly could not insert themselves, such sleeper agents existed in all three great empires.

Among them, there were many who had climbed to high positions; this was also an important reason why the Heaven Soul and Dou Spirit empires were destroyed so quickly in the original timeline.

Compared to the Heaven Soul and Dou Spirit empires, the Star Luo Empire was still doing relatively well.

At the very least, the highest-ranking sleeper agent was only Luo Yun, who served as the commander of the Imperial Guard.

"The Sun Moon Empire is finally ready to make a move!"

Luo Yun gripped the secret letter tightly, his eyes flashing with conflict, hesitation, and sorrow.

To be honest, he did not want to get involved in such a life-threatening matter.

What made him helpless was that over the course of a thousand years, the Luo Clan had long been firmly bound to the Sun Moon Empire's imperial family.

Luo Yun believed that if he did not act according to the demands in this letter, it would not be long before the Luo Clan was wiped out.

Now, even if he wanted to go back on his word and seek refuge under the Star Luo Empire, it was completely unfeasible.

To this day, the successive heads of the Luo Clan had already leaked countless pieces of classified intelligence regarding the Star Luo Empire to the Sun Moon Empire.

Everything has a price.

And this was the price the Luo Clan had paid to rise to prosperity once again with the help of the Sun Moon Empire.

Therefore, the Luo Clan had no choice but to walk down this dark path to the very end!

Even if they knew full well that it led to eternal damnation!

"It seems I must find a way to send out the most outstanding children of the younger generation of the clan; it would at least ensure that our Luo Clan's lineage does not end here."

As Luo Yun muttered to himself, he burned the secret letter in his hand to ashes, letting them dissipate into the air.

Being able to gain the trust of Xu Jiawei and sit in the position of Commander of the Imperial Guard, Luo Yun was naturally no fool.

Do not be fooled by the various promises given in the secret letter—about arranging people to provide support and so on—as they were, in reality, all empty checks.

He was very clear that he and the entire Luo Clan had become abandoned pawns of the Sun Moon Empire. Regardless of whether the assassination of that person succeeded or not, they were destined to die.

Star Luo Imperial Palace.

"I didn't expect the Star Luo Empire to actually form an alliance with Shrek Academy."

The youth in white lay on the lawn, looking up at the stars filling the night sky, a strange glint flickering in his eyes: "Why didn't Tang San step in to stop it?"

As a transmigrator, Gu Tian knew exactly what kind of person Tang San was.

Before ascending to the God Realm, he had undoubtedly left behind contingencies in the forces that had deep ties to him: the Clear Sky Sect, the Tang Sect, Sea God Island, and Shrek Academy.

As for Shrek Academy, if Gu Tian guessed correctly, it should be their long-inherited sacred object, the Golden Ancient Tree.

The Golden Ancient Tree had been transplanted to Shrek Academy by Tang San after he became a god, and it had become the greatest foundation of Shrek Academy.

However, with Tang San's character of never doing anything without a profit, it was impossible for him to do such a good deed for no reason.

After all, compared to Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect was a sect founded by Tang San himself, and it contained factors from his previous life.

There was no doubt about which of the two had a closer relationship with Tang San.

If he were to transplant it, he should have transplanted it to the Tang Sect!

Why, of all places, give such a supreme treasure as the Golden Ancient Tree to Shrek Academy?

There is clearly a major problem here!

Combining the two important timelines of Peerless Tang Sect and Legend of the Dragon King, Gu Tian guessed that the Golden Ancient Tree must occupy a particularly important position in Tang San's schemes for the Douluo Continent.

As a sect, the Tang Sect was destined to decline sooner or later, even with the halo of Tang San, the Sea God, shining upon it.

Tang San likely anticipated this long ago.

After all, whether out of vanity or to maintain his perfect image, Tang San never revealed the fact that his martial soul was not Blue Silver Grass, but the Blue Silver Emperor.

Blue Silver Grass!

Blue Silver Emperor!

A difference of one word, yet a world of difference.

Blue Silver Grass is nothing more than an ordinary, useless martial soul.

The Blue Silver Emperor, however, is the sovereign among Blue Silver Grass; only one appears in each generation, making it a top-tier plant-type martial soul.

With Tang San as a "good role model," the masters of the Tang Sect were almost always soul masters who had awakened Blue Silver Grass.

They hoped they could defy the heavens and change their fate just like their ancestor Tang San, leading the Tang Sect to rise once again.

As it turned out, this was pure nonsense.

Even before Tang San awakened his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, his Blue Silver Grass martial soul had always been his weakness.

Furthermore, Tang San did not leave the complete Mysterious Heaven Skill to the Tang Sect.

Given all these reasons, it would be a miracle if the Tang Sect didn't decline!

Shrek Academy was completely different; it was an academy, not a sect.

As long as the students had sufficient talent, they were recruited, and there were no restrictions on them joining other factions after graduation.

Moreover, the reputation of the First Generation Shrek Seven Devils was there, and after defeating Martial Soul Hall, they received the full support of the two great empires.

Even the long-standing Four Element Academies were merged into Shrek Academy.

With such a foundation, it would be difficult for Shrek Academy to decline even if it wanted to.

Perhaps this was the reason why Tang San planted the Golden Ancient Tree at Shrek Academy!

During the period of Legend of the Dragon King, the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life resisted the spatial turbulence, transforming into the Seed of Destruction and the Seed of Life, while the God Realm was swept away by the spatial turbulence.

At this moment, the function of the Golden Ancient Tree became apparent: Tang San's mother, Ah Yin, merged into it to become the plane's Life Core, while Tang Hao transformed into the Lord of Planes for Douluo Star.

With this, the Douluo Continent had essentially become Tang San's private backyard.

Prior to this, the Golden Ancient Tree was firmly under Tang San's control, which he used to influence the entirety of Shrek Academy.

It was precisely because of this that Gu Tian found it strange that Shrek Academy would stand on his side.

After all, within the Sky Curtain, he was the enemy of all gods, the man who had ruined Tang San's ten-thousand-year grand plan.

He was certainly someone Tang San would deem worthy of death.

Under such circumstances, it was already the best possible outcome that Shrek Academy hadn't moved against him.

Even if he truly was the future Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion.

"A day in the God Realm is a year on the ground. Perhaps that is why the God Realm is temporarily unaware of the situation on the Douluo Continent."

Gu Tian wore a thoughtful expression as he considered this possibility, but then he shook his head.

"But the problem is that with the birth of Huo Yuhao, the Child of Destiny, Tang San should have been keeping a constant watch on the Douluo Continent."

"It couldn't be that the Sky Curtain caused the connection between the God Realm and the Douluo Continent to be severed, could it?"
