Everything for the Amber Lord!

Jade walked with elegant steps, followed by Wu Qingyao with her head held high, the expressionless Snow Empress, and Tingyun, who always wore a slight smile.

The four arrived at the entrance of Shrek Academy in this formation.

Jade took off his hat and spoke elegantly to the gatekeeper:

"Kindly inform Dean Yan that Yuheng, the fourth Heavenly General of the Fairy Boat, and Hanxue, the seventh Heavenly General, are here to visit Shrek Academy with two friends!"

The gatekeeper wasn't foolish; he wouldn't just report without knowing. Yan Shaozhe would surely kick him if he did! However, seeing the familiar person and fox behind Jade, he guessed something was amiss and immediately ran into the academy to report to Director Du Weilun.

The four outside the academy had come with the intention of causing trouble, so they didn't mind being ignored.

Tingyun even had the leisure to playfully fan Yuheng.

Before long, Du Weilun came out with Yan Shaozhe.

"It is an honor to meet you both. I am Jade. I was bestowed the title of Yuheng by the Fairy Boat. I have come today because of one matter I do not understand."

Jade lightly stated his identity and reason for coming.

Yan Shaozhe frowned because he couldn't sense any aura from Jade, who was at the front, or the black-haired woman behind him.

"Are you here about the misunderstanding from three days ago?"

Yan Shaozhe asked calmly.

"Right here?"

Jade looked at the sweating Yan Shaozhe with a half-smile.

"Four, please!" Yan Shaozhe made a gesture to invite Jade and the others into Shrek Academy.

Led by Yan Shaozhe, they arrived at a courtyard.

"Everyone, no one will disturb us here. If you have something to discuss, you don't need to worry about others."

The smile on Jade's face slowly disappeared as he reached out and put his arm around Tingyun's neck.

"Dean Yan might not know, but my sister here has been adaptable and eloquent since she was young. We older brothers and sisters naturally dote on her, and because of that, she has never suffered any grievances..."

Jade's indifferent gaze fell on Yan Shaozhe. Although Jade didn't exert any pressure, sweat was streaming down Yan Shaozhe's forehead.

"Dean Yan, can you give this Seat an explanation?"

As Jade's self-address changed to "this Seat," Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh.

"A misunderstanding! It was all a misunderstanding! I can..."

"That's not important! Dean Yan, what's important is for this Seat to meet that old man."

"Sigh~"

A long sigh came from afar. No one had noticed a withered old man lying on a lounge chair nearby.

(Snow Empress: What does it have to do with me, a soul beast, that people didn't notice!)

"This matter is indeed our Shrek's..."

"Sigh, why can't this old man understand human speech? This Seat said it's not important! Understand?"

Jade sighed and said coldly.

"I'll call Xuan Zi over. Considering Shrek can compensate and this young lady is unharmed..."

Jade shrugged and lifted Tingyun's chin.

"See? This old man really doesn't understand human speech."

Tingyun rolled her eyes charmingly, unsure if it was because Bai Mo was lifting her chin or because of his pretentious words.

Mu En, feeling Jade's unbridled behavior, finally stopped speaking and sent a surge of soul power towards the inner courtyard.

Before long, a disheveled old man flew down from the sky. Seeing the familiar faces opposite Dean Yan and Mu En, Xuan Zi knew the enemy had arrived and immediately summoned his martial soul, the Godly Taotie Bull.

"Very well, taste this Seat's move!"

Jade sneered and a light green stone appeared in his hand.

[Jade Stone]: A one-time use item. The current attack limit is the full power strike of a Level Three God burning their life force.

Mu En couldn't help but get a headache seeing Xuan Zi about to fight as soon as he appeared. Damn it, can Shrek even survive without me?!

Jade didn't delay, crushing the Jade Stone with one hand and speaking:

"I come to pay respects, I come to offer wine, I come to possess!"

As Jade spoke, his body gradually floated into the sky, emitting an aura far exceeding that of everyone and every soul beast present.

Even the Snow Empress couldn't help but lower her body under this pressure.

The reckless Xuan Zi wasn't flustered at all.

"Taotie True Body! Taotie Divine Power! Taotie Bull Transformation! Ninth Soul Skill—Light of Time and Space!"

Three buffs were applied to Xuan Zi. Transformed into the Godly Taotie Bull, Xuan Zi's eyes shot out a dazzling white light, charging fiercely towards Jade.

Jade's expression remained unchanged as he pointed his index and middle fingers together towards the sky!

"I bestow poison as sweet dew, for spring sowing and autumn harvest."

"Waiting for the withered fruit to fill the branches!"

As Feicui's chanted lyrics reached this point, the space around Shrek Academy seemed to freeze. Whether it was the Snow Empress, watching with wide eyes, or Xuan Zi, who had transformed into a divine bull with his temporal light, or Mu En, who had summoned the Radiant Sacred Dragon, or even a certain little dragon peeking, everyone remained frozen in place.

A stone hammer, amber in color and large enough to cover the entire academy, appeared in the sky above Shrek Academy.

Even the residents of Shrek City, far away, could see it.

A divine aura flickered in Feicui's pale lavender eyes. He pointed his finger at the sky, unmoving, as if brewing something, or perhaps contemplating?

"Everything is offered to... the Amber Lord!"

The hammer slowly descended from the sky! The recovered Shrek members watched the falling hammer with despair. The oppressive force left them nowhere to hide.

Mu En's eyes reddened, wishing he could burn his entire life, but it was too late to stop the hammer's descent!

Dong~

With the hammer's fall, the Douluo Continent officially entered the Amber Era.

In the first year of this era, a sharp phoenix fell into nirvana, a brainless old bull was paralyzed, and a withered sacred dragon burned its remaining life, only able to live for five more years.

The rest, no casualties.

Bai Mo, who had returned to his true form, had his cheeks vigorously pinched by an excited Wu Qingyao. The four of them were already on their way back to Shrek City, heading towards the Minghuo Chamber of Commerce.

Along the way, they occasionally heard exclamations of "Shrek is awesome!" The reasons were as follows:

Passerby A: "Holy crap, what is that thing in the sky? As expected of Shrek, they're so awesome."

Passerby B: "But it looks like that giant hammer is coming to smash Shrek?"

Passerby A: "Doesn't that mean Shrek is even more awesome if such a huge hammer is coming to smash them? Whatever, Shrek is awesome!"

Passerby B: "Shrek is awesome!"

The four of them chatted and laughed as they returned to the Minghuo Chamber of Commerce, mainly because Tingyun was teasing Bai Mo for being so weak that she had to carry him.

Bai Mo wasn't weak from overexertion. On the contrary, he had reined in most of his power at the end, otherwise, it would have been impossible for no one to die.

His weakness stemmed from his heart. That divine aura, looking down on everything from above, had truly satisfied Bai Mo. Now, he couldn't muster any interest in anything around him.

As the four of them returned to the chamber of commerce, the sharp-eyed Snow Empress was the first to spot a silver-haired little girl, about Bai Mo's age, sitting at the entrance of the chamber.
