After Xuan Zi passed away, Shrek's situation did not seem to get any worse.
Instead, Di Tian's return made the cooperation between Shrek and the Star Dou Great Forest even closer.
Because Di Tian was the leader of all the Ferocious Beasts. He alone had the qualifications to lead the Ferocious Beasts of the Core Region in deepening their cooperation with Shrek.
