Di Tian watched the course of his future fate unfold across the Sky Screen, scene after scene flashing past.

Those scenes showed not only Di Tian's own tragedy, but all manner of future sights as well.

Towering skyscrapers, countless powerful figures, and... future Soul Tools!

Xuan Ziwen's pupils abruptly contracted.

The things flashing across the Sky Screen had completely surpassed the limits of his understanding of Soul Tools.

Especially the objects that appeared near the end: enormous metal warships suspended in space, radiating a suffocating sense of pressure.

"Miracles... they truly are miracles..."

Xuan Ziwen muttered, his voice trembling.

He suddenly shot to his feet.

"Can Soul Tools really accomplish something like this?"

Xuan Ziwen strode quickly to the window and raised his head toward the Sky Screen, which had already switched to other scenes. His eyes were filled with disbelief.

"No, they must be Soul Tools! They have to be!!"

He spoke to himself incoherently, too excited to contain himself.

Just then, a crisp voice came from outside the door.

"Teacher, I found the blueprints you wanted to study."

The door opened, and a girl with slightly curly hair walked in, dressed in the uniform of Sun Moon Royal Academy.

She held a thick stack of blueprints in her arms. Glasses rested on her nose, and the eyes behind the lenses held a hint of liveliness and calmness.

It was Ju Zi.

Xuan Ziwen came back to his senses and reached up to straighten the clothes he had mussed up, trying his best not to appear so discomposed.

"Mm, thank you for the trouble, Ju Zi."

Though his voice had regained its calm, the fervor in his eyes could not be suppressed.

"Next, I need to throw myself into research immediately."

Xuan Ziwen took a deep breath, his tone turning firm.

"I just saw the future of Soul Tools!"

"Mm."

Ju Zi responded softly, setting the blueprints on the table. Her gaze could not help but drift toward the Sky Screen as well.

She was also a Soul Engineer, but unlike Xuan Ziwen and Jing Hongchen, she did not possess an almost fanatical obsession with Soul Tools.

Even so, the fleeting images of future Soul Tools on the Sky Screen still stirred her heart.

Soul Tools on that scale.

If those things could truly be created, the entire landscape of Douluo Continent would be completely rewritten.

Ju Zi could understand Xuan Ziwen's current feelings.

No, she even felt that Xuan Ziwen's excitement at this moment was probably far more intense than she imagined.

The entire Sun Moon Empire... even the whole Soul Engineer community across the continent, would likely be thrown into an uproar.

She walked to the window and looked at the teachers and students throughout the academy, who were likewise staring up at the Sky Screen, quietly pondering to herself.

Those people who were utterly obsessed with Soul Tools.

At this moment, they were probably just like Teacher Xuan, wishing they could leap straight onto their workbenches and turn those Soul Tools from the Sky Screen into reality.

Shrek City, atop the city gate.

Taotie Douluo Xuan Zi stood side by side with Shrek City's lord, Shi Xing, their sharp gazes sweeping over every direction within the city.

On the city walls, guards and members of the Supervision Corps hurried back and forth, constantly reporting the results of their search.

"No target found in East City District One!"

"No target found in West City District Four!"

Reports were relayed back by their subordinates from every corner of the city.

Yet they had found nothing.

That Super Douluo called Wu Wei seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth. No matter how they searched, they could not find the slightest trace of him.

Xuan Zi's brow furrowed tighter and tighter.

Shi Xing was somewhat calmer than him. He withdrew his gaze from the city and looked up at the ever-changing scenes on the Sky Screen.

"Traveling through time and space..."

He muttered to himself, his voice carrying both yearning and wistfulness.

His martial soul was the Space-Time Silver Disk, and his title was "Time." He had once been known as the Time Magician.

Yet even with such a martial soul and title, he could not manipulate time as he pleased.

He could only rely on soul skills to unleash techniques that had, more or less, some connection to time.

Traveling through time and space, returning to the past, heading into the future.

Such power was something he could only yearn for, never attain.

Xuan Zi, beside him, paid no attention to time travel.

His focus was more on the fleeting images of future Soul Tools on the Sky Screen.

After the side of the Sky Screen revealed that Mu En was about to die and that he would become the next master of the Sea God Pavilion,

the Taotie Douluo, who was usually carefree, gluttonous, and fond of drink, had become different from his former easygoing self.

He had begun to consider more things.

The scenes of future Soul Tools gave him an unprecedented sense of crisis.

If those Soul Tools from the Sky Screen truly appeared in the future, while Shrek Academy continued to cling to old ways and reject Soul Tools...

Xuan Zi fell silent.

He still looked down somewhat on Soul Tools in his heart.

But the scenes on the Sky Screen truly forced him to reevaluate their value.

At future Sea God Pavilion meetings, I should support the Soul Tool Department more as well.

And who was that person in the Sky Screen who saved Shrek during the beast tide and would become a god in the future?

Xuan Zi silently pondered.

The scenes shown by the Sky Screen did not mention Huo Yuhao's name. Furthermore, because of the martial soul he used and the enormous difference in appearance,

no one recognized him.

Others could not recognize him, but Huo Yuhao, who had Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, was different.

At this moment, having recognized that the god who appeared on the Sky Screen was Huo Yuhao himself, Tian Meng was shouting excitedly within Huo Yuhao's Spirit Sea.

"Hahaha! Didn't I say my judgment back then was excellent?!"

"Little Yuhao, isn't your Brother Sky Dream amazing?"

"I didn't bring shame upon soul beasts!"

"I, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, raised a god!"

"Ah! Brother Sky Dream! Stop shouting! I'm not a god yet! If you keep shouting—"

"My head is going to explode on the spot!"

Hiding alone in a corner, Huo Yuhao clutched his aching head and hurriedly called out in his mind for Tian Meng to stop.

At Tian Meng's words, he immediately came to his senses as well.

"Sorry, Yuhao. I got a little too excited just now."

Huo Yuhao shook his head and wiped away the sweat that had seeped out from the pain, saying,

"It's fine, Brother Sky Dream!"

"I'm happy too, seeing that I succeeded in the future! But this isn't the future yet. We can't let our guard down!"

Upon hearing this, Tian Meng in the Spirit Sea nodded seriously as well.

After calming down a little, Huo Yuhao looked toward the Sky Screen with blazing eyes.

Future me had such powerful strength! Then did I... manage to make that man apologize to Mom?!

Just then, new content appeared on the Sky Screen.

[The scene returned to Wu Wei absorbing the Dragon Vein's power. Clearly, Di Tian's lengthy experience of glimpsing his future fate had not taken much time in the outside world. Wu Wei continued to control the Box of Ultimate Bliss as it hovered in midair, devouring the Dragon Vein's Soul Power. "Hmm?" Wu Wei gave a quiet exclamation, his brow slightly furrowing. He could clearly sense that the Box of Ultimate Bliss was absorbing the Dragon Vein's Soul Power at a rapidly declining rate. The Soul Power within the Box of Ultimate Bliss had originally been steadily increasing. But now, as though it had reached a bottleneck, its absorption rate was becoming slower and slower. Sure enough, when he lowered his head to look at the Dragon Vein, the four streams of Soul Power extending from the purple pillar of light and flowing into the Box of Ultimate Bliss were visibly thinning and fading. Within a few breaths, they vanished completely. "What's going on?" Wu Wei hovered in midair, frowning in confusion.]
