This is due to the pressure brought about by the increasingly unscrupulous actions of the Sun Moon Empire in recent years.

Now, the three great empires that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent have once again united.

Compared to the hasty response when the Sun Moon Empire first launched a war, the three empires, which were well-prepared, now appeared much more united on the surface.

Compared to the original work, the situation on the mainland at this point in time is still relatively peaceful.

Now, due to the Shrek Academy's series of disastrous actions, the Sun Moon Empire is showing signs of revealing its true colors.

It seems they are no longer prepared to continue pretending, and the tension between the Four Great Empires is escalating.

In the original story, the Sun Moon Empire would have been wary of the Shrek Academy's reputation.

The fact that it still holds considerable sway over the military and civilians within its own borders prevents it from launching a rash attack.

However, Shrek Academy has now suffered numerous setbacks, including losing the championship, being attacked twice, and the restructuring of the Sea God Pavilion.

Although the tiger may be dead, its might still remain. At this time, a wave of public opinion against and suppression of the Shrek Academy also swept through the Sun Moon Empire.

Behind this, the Sun Moon Empire's royal family and the Holy Spirit Cult were undoubtedly pulling the strings in secret. After all, only by eliminating the awe that their own military and civilians felt towards the Shrek Academy could they succeed.

Only then can they unleash their full power and wage a full-scale war against the forces that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent; otherwise, they will never be able to exert their full strength.

Compared to the Sun Moon Empire, where domestic public opinion is intentionally manipulated, even within the original three kingdoms of the Douluo Continent, this is Shrek Academy's fundamental source of students.

Nowadays, the attitude towards the Shrek Academy is no longer the almost mindless worship it once was. The lofty aura that Shrek Academy has enjoyed for thousands of years is now showing signs of crumbling.

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, having gained a better understanding of the current situation. After all, he had only just learned of the second attack on the Shrek Academy when he was in seclusion.

As for the various changes and subsequent impacts that occurred afterward, he was unaware of them. However, Huo Yuhao then asked with some doubt, "The Sea God Pavilion underwent restructuring?"

At this moment, apart from Du Busi and Huo Yuhao, the Great Elder Jin Peng and several other elders who were still in the Body Sect were present in the main hall of the Body Sect.

"Not bad," Great Elder Jin Peng continued.

Compared to Du Busi, he was actually in charge of managing and coordinating affairs within the Body Sect, and thus had a clearer understanding of the current changes in the situation on the mainland.

"After the Shrek Academy was attacked for the second time, the Clear Sky Sect, which had been in seclusion for many years, announced that it would come out of seclusion and enter the world to support Shrek Academy."

"At the same time, Shrek Academy invited its Grand Master and Second Sect Master, two powerhouses at the Limit Douluo level, to join the Sea God Pavilion and work together to stabilize Shrek Academy."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao frowned slightly. The existence of Niu Tian and Tai Tan undoubtedly made the Douluo Continent, which was already deviating from the original story, even more complicated.

Jin Peng continued his analysis, "Although these two Limit Douluo did not directly show any desire to control the Sea God Pavilion."

"However, in order to stabilize morale and also to strengthen the bond with these two Limit Douluo, the power structure of the Sea God Pavilion has undergone some changes."

"After all, the current master of the Sea God Pavilion is Taotie Douluo Xuanzi, whose own strength is only that of a level 98 Super Douluo."

"In this way, even if it's just external assistance, how can a top-tier powerhouse like Limit Douluo let a Super Douluo overpower him?"

"Regardless of what they themselves think, from the perspective of outsiders, either these two Limit Douluo do not value Shrek Academy enough, or Shrek Academy underestimates them too much."

"Therefore, it is different from the original system where the Sea God Pavilion Master was the head, and the Sea God Pavilion Master possessed absolute power and the right to speak."

"Now, in the Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion, the power of the Sea God Pavilion Master has been mostly distributed among the elders."

Hearing this, Du Busi sneered and said, "Change my ass. If you've been sidelined, just say you've been sidelined. Why make it sound so nice? What's there to pat that old bastard Xuan Zi on the back?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Peng smiled but did not refute it. Instead, he continued, "Anyway, the person we are currently dealing with is Lin Huiqun, who was originally the number two person in the Sea God Pavilion."

"At the same time, after those two Limit Douluo appeared, apart from demonstrating their strength once, they rarely showed themselves in public."

"As for what other changes have occurred within the Shrek Academy due to the assistance of the Clear Sky Sect and the addition of those two Limit Douluo, we have no idea."

Huo Yuhao nodded. "I understand the general idea, but I don't know how the other Four Great Empires will react?"

At this point, Du Busi's expression darkened slightly, and Jin Peng sighed, saying, "We all underestimated the Sun Moon Empire."

"I never imagined that the Sun Moon Empire, which we once looked down upon, would actually have three Limit Douluo- level fighters."

"Those Evil Soul Master who were hiding in the east and west have actually become quite influential over the years and have established a so-called Holy Spirit Cult."

"They hid within the Sun Moon Empire and were never discovered by us. Moreover, in order to rival the Clear Sky Sect, the Sun Moon Empire even established it as the state religion."

"It is likely that the reason why the Holy Spirit Cult has grown to such a great extent is definitely related to the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire."

Jin Peng's expression was somewhat solemn. "Shrek Academy was attacked twice before, and the real mastermind behind it was the Holy Spirit Cult. Moreover, after they appeared, the news spread throughout the entire continent."

At this moment, Huo Yuhao could also imagine the moment when the real culprit who attacked Shrek City appeared openly.

However, if Shrek Academy is powerless to retaliate, what kind of terrifying blow will this deal to the Shrek Academy's already crumbling reputation?

"Besides the elders whose strength has reached the Title Level, there are also several Super Douluo in this Holy Spirit Cult."

"Even their two Supreme Elders have reached the level of Limit Douluo."

"Pah! That old bastard Long Xiaoyao has no shame!" Du Busi said Du Busi, swearing profusely.

After all, Long Xiaoyao was originally a member of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Unexpectedly, after reaching the limit level of cultivation, he turned to the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult.

Although their personal stances and reasons differ, if he Du Busi, he will despise Long Xiaoyao from the perspective of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

"Besides the two Supreme Elder possessing the strength of the ultimate level, the Sun Moon Empire has also managed to win over the Evil Emperor, one of the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, as an ally."

"And the terrifying cultivation of the Evil Emperor is even three points stronger than that of an ordinary Limit Douluo."

"I really don't know what kind of price and conditions the Holy Spirit Cult promised to get the Evil Emperor to take action."

"In order to test the level of both sides, the Sect Master and the two Limit Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect once fought against the three Limit Douluo of the Sun Moon Empire at the border."

"Although neither side has used their full strength, it is certain that the Sun Moon Empire, like my Original Three Douluo Kingdoms, now possesses three combatants at the limit level."

"Moreover, according to the Sect Master, both the Evil Emperor and the two Limit Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect have extraordinary foundations, which are slightly superior to ordinary Limit Douluo."

Du Busi snorted coldly, "I'm not afraid of them. If it comes to a real fight, I won't even bat an eye!"

"Moreover, my skills are not in one-on-one combat. If I want to, I can take on any Evil Soul Beast Forest, Holy Spirit Cult, Sun Moon Empire, Shrek Academy, Clear Sky Sect."

Du Busi chuckled sinisterly and said, "Apart from that one, none of the others will live!"

Jin Peng sighed slightly, then shook his head and said, "Therefore, when both sides have equal high-end combat power, they are naturally quite wary of each other. In this case, they cannot easily break the rules and leave the field."

"But this would essentially level the playing field, and the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Tool are indeed quite sophisticated."

"After extensive research, we have roughly come to our conclusions. Although the few Soul Tool production strategies left by the Young Sect Master can, to some extent, narrow the gap between our Heavenly Soul Empire and the Sun Moon Empire."

"However, the other two great empires and Shrek Academy are still far too far behind the current Sun Moon Empire. I'm afraid that if war really breaks out, then..."

"Moreover, this is only the difference between low- and mid-range Soul Tool. As for high-end Soul Tool, I believe the Sect Master and the Young Sect Master know more about them than I do."

Huo Yuhao nodded; he naturally understood this.

However, compared to the strength that the Sun Moon Empire has revealed on the surface, the speculations derived from the information he had previously received from Di Ruier were more of a headache for him.

That means if the Sun Moon Empire has already cooperated with Di Tian, then it means that Di Tian actually has its own agenda.

In that case, it remains to be seen whether the plans and arguments he had prepared would be effective with Di Tian.

Du Busi also looked somewhat displeased, but did not refute him, because although Kong Deming, the strongest Soul Engineer of the Sun Moon Empire, was far inferior to him in Soul Power.

At that time, when the six Limit Douluo were fighting, he also felt a sense of fear and trepidation, so he did not use his full strength.

With his Limit Douluo abilities, he naturally noticed it after the battle.

The person who gave him a strong sense of threat at the time was Kong Deming, who had not yet arrived on the battlefield but was watching from afar.

Regardless of the strength or threat level of Kong Deming's trump cards, what is most terrifying is what he has yet to unleash, because it leaves people completely baffled.

Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "Yes, thank you for your analysis, Great Elder. I now have a pretty good understanding of the situation. The Heavenly Soul Empire will continue to proceed according to the original strategy."

"Although the alliance has been formed, the other two great empires and Shrek Academy are still not reliable, and the true nature of the Clear Sky Sect is also unclear."

"Our Body Sect and the Heavenly Soul Empire can only rely on ourselves."

"However, I need to leave the sect for a while and go to the Far North."

"If this trip goes smoothly, within at least three years, our Body Sect and the Heavenly Soul Empire will be able to have the resources to contend with the Sun Moon Empire."

Having just emerged from seclusion, Huo Yuhao was about to leave again. Upon hearing this, Jin Peng opened his mouth, wanting to dissuade him.

The other elders also hesitated, after all, Huo Yuhao's talent and potential were extremely important to the Body Sect.

With the situation on the mainland so turbulent, Huo Yuhao's existence is all the more crucial.

Otherwise, if something were to happen, and the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Body Sect were to fall, as long as Huo Yuhao was still alive, he could at least leave behind Core Flame for the Body Sect.

However, he was immediately stopped by Du Busi.

"Old Jin, you're reliable when it comes to miscellaneous matters, but right now I'm more willing to trust Yuhao's judgment. I believe he has his own plans."

"Yuhao, just go for it! With your master here in the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Body Sect, the sky won't fall!"

Now that Du Busi the Final Decision, there is no room for negotiation. Jin Peng and the other elders can only pray that Huo Yuhao's next steps will be safe and sound.

Without much preparation, Huo Yuhao didn't need to make any, since most of his important belongings were kept in the Undead Demigod Plane.

Other material possessions were of no importance to him, so he left the main hall of the Body Sect and flew rapidly towards the Far North.

He did not use Flying Soul Tool; the best level-seven Flying Soul Tool he currently possessed could no longer keep up with his speed.

At his current speed, it would only take him half a day to cross a small part of the continent and reach the Far North Core Region.

Meanwhile, he was contacting the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress using the method he had previously left for them, informing them of his imminent arrival.

Before even entering the Far North Core Region, Huo Yuhao encountered the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress, along with two other Ferocious Beast and several Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast waiting for him.

"Why didn't you respond when we contacted you before?" Ice Empress seemed a little anxious.

Besides Snow Empress, other Ferocious Beast and Soul Beast also had some wounds on their bodies that had not yet healed.

The Snow Empress, however, spoke with even greater composure, "In my Far North, there have been some frictions with the Ice Sea, Mermaid Race have even invited outside help."

"Moreover, because the Water Element was transformed into the Ice Element, it submerged my Far North territory, which indirectly provided a fighting environment for those Sea Soul Beasts, thus causing some trouble."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao frowned. According to his expectations, although there were many Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast among the Sea Soul Beast, there were not many strong ones at the level of Ferocious Beast. In theory, they should not cause any trouble for the Far North.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's confusion, Snow Empress explained with some helplessness, "Even the Ferocious Beast among the Sea Soul Beast are indeed somewhat lacking in individual combat strength compared to our Far North."

"However, firstly, there are many strong individuals among the Sea Soul Beast, and some groups are more united and adept at using combination Soul Skill. Secondly, due to the direction of the Elemental Tide, the Mermaid Race has a greater advantage."

After a moment of contemplation, Huo Yuhao said, "Let me go to the Ice Palace first and take a closer look with the help of the Spirit of the Ice Dragon."
