Xuan Zi looked up at the sky, gazing at the entirety of Shrek with despair written across his face.
The once-majestic academy was now reduced to ruins, flames blazing everywhere.
Among the Sea God Pavilion's elders, only he and Cai Mei'er remained. He no longer had the face to confront Mu En's final entrustment, his heart churning with guilt and helplessness as sharp as a knife.
Then, with a thud, he dropped to his knees in midair and actually bowed toward the Golden Tree.
His voice was devout and tragic. "Elder Mu—Xuan Zi has sinned! I have destroyed Shrek's foundation of ten thousand years in a single stroke..."
"For Shrek's sake, please act once more... Whether Xuan Zi was right or wrong, please protect Shrek from harm!"
His voice trembled with earnest pleading.

Golden light rained across Shrek's ruins, coating the lands stained red by war and blood with a renewed glow of hope.
Cai Mei'er, nearly exhausted, looked toward the sky. Her eyes were hollow, as though her entire soul had been drained away.
The whisper forced from deep within her throat carried a faint glimmer of salvation:
"It's Elder Mu... It's Elder Mu..."
Her body trembled uncontrollably, while gratitude filled her heart.
Now, Xuan Zi placed all hope of changing the battle's outcome upon the Golden Tree.
