With the Remaining Might, Pursue the Routed Foe; Seek Not Fame Like the Daoists of Old!

Shrek City, Sea God Pavilion.

Yan Shaozhe, Xian Lin'er, and the other elder masters were drenched in sweat, looking as if they had just been fished out of the water.

"Is this... if he hadn't joined Shrek, if he had joined the Body Sect instead, is this what he would have become?" Yan Shaozhe's voice was hoarse and strained.

On the Sky Screen, although Shrek Academy had not been directly destroyed, it had become a "subsidiary academy" of the Body Sect—a humiliation far worse than death.

Especially upon seeing the contract signed beneath the statue of the Sea God, it felt as though Shrek's ten thousand years of pride had been torn to shreds and tossed into a cesspit.

"No... this isn't real."

Ma Xiaotao covered her mouth, struggling to hold back her tears.

In the first world, she had already been looking forward to the reality where she would take in such a "younger brother." She had even been waiting for Huo Yuhao's arrival.

However, in this world, the cold, sinister Huo Yuhao on the Sky Screen, who could wipe out legions on a whim, was a completely different person from the gentle junior brother in her heart. He had even destroyed Shrek Academy.

"Did you see that? That method he used to manipulate the undead."

Xuan Zi's voice carried a sense of profound helplessness. "An Evil Soul Master; he is using the methods of an Evil Soul Master to rule the world. Yet, he uses petty gains and despicable tactics to win over the ignorant masses, effectively draping the Body Sect in a cloak of justice."

"The most terrifying part is that the whole world has no way to stop him. If the great Sea God ancestor does not intervene, that world is completely finished..."

Mu En sat in his wheelchair, his eyes reflecting a sorrow that pierced through fate: "We previously spoke of 'guiding' the Child of Destiny, yet we never considered that if the Child of Destiny chose to 'rule' this world, we might no longer have the qualifications to sit here and pass judgment... Perhaps, in the first world, our choice to use him like that was wrong."

"Shao Zhe, do you see it clearly? That Huo Yuhao is not seeking revenge; he is rebuilding the order of the world. He does not need Shrek's 'monster' theory, because in his eyes, everyone is an ant... In the eyes of the Huo Yuhao of this world, that is exactly how it is."

Mu En's voice became indifferent, stripped of all emotion.

"Teacher, then you mean..."

Yan Shaozhe's voice trembled slightly as he asked.

Unexpectedly, this time, Mu En shook his head.

"Whatever we do now, it is already too late. The images on the Sky Screen have already set the tone for everything."

"Now... we can only hope. At least, for the Huo Yuhao of this world, there is still an existence capable of keeping him in check."

Having said this, Mu En finally raised his head and glanced at the ceiling above.

At this moment, Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, and the others exchanged glances once more. They all saw the helplessness and the faint chill in each other's eyes.

Meanwhile, on the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, the experts of the Body Sect who were searching for Huo Yuhao had fallen into a state of fanatical worship.

"Hahahaha! This is the true emperor of our Body Sect!" Du Busi, who had arrived in person, laughed toward the sky, the force of his voice shattering the surrounding trees.

He looked at the "Body" war banner fluttering in the wind on the Sky Screen, his eyes brimming with hot tears.

"Did you see that, Vina? What Sun Moon Empire technology, what Shrek glory—in the face of the absolute power of the Body Martial Soul, it is all trash! To take the body as the boundary, to command the world with the spirit! This is the highest realm of the Secret of the Body!"

Although Princess Vina was frightened pale by the bloody methods, a strange fanaticism flashed in her eyes.

As a member of the royal family, she understood the taste of power better than anyone. The man who ruled the entire continent and forced even the God King to retreat exuded a suffocating charm.

"Sect Master, we must find him," Vina said firmly. "No matter which world this Huo Yuhao comes from, he must belong to our Body Sect. If he falls into the hands of others, then the nightmare of the Body Sect's destruction and decline from the first world on the Sky Screen will become reality!"

"Let's go! We must find him before anyone else! Huo Yuhao, your master is coming!"

Du Busi laughed heroically, his soul power sweeping up the group as they charged into the Star Dou Great Forest.

The scene on the Sky Screen shifted once again.

As the Sun Moon Empire bowed under the overwhelming might of the Body Sect, Huo Yuhao did not stop his pace. In the image, he stood atop the former imperial capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, with Vina by his side—her pregnancy visible, her face full of happiness yet carrying the dignity of someone in a position of power.

"I said I would return an empire to you."

Huo Yuhao said softly. He looked down at the old continental capital, which had been devastated by war; countless engineering Soul Tool were roaring over the ruins, rebuilding the city.

In just a few short months, a capital more magnificent than ever had risen from the ground. A long-lost flag fluttered above the imperial palace—not that of the Heavenly Soul or Dou Ling, but the flag that had once unified the Heaven Dou Empire!

In Tiantou City, countless elderly people looked at this flag, their hearts filled with complex emotions and eyes brimming with tears.

This was not the weak Heaven Dou of the past, but a behemoth that had annexed the former territories of the Heavenly Soul and Dou Ling empires, supported by the technology of the Sun Moon Empire, with the Body Sect acting as its anchor! Huo Yuhao and Vina's eldest son was installed as the young emperor, while Huo Yuhao ruled the continent in all but name as the "Regent" and "Body Sect Master."

At this moment, outside the Sky Screen, within the Star Luo Imperial Palace.

Xu Jiawei slumped on the dragon throne, watching the flag embroidered with the silver Spirit Eye and the characters for "Body" spreading across the north, a wave of fear rising in his heart:

"The Heaven Dou Empire... has appeared again. And it has effectively formed an alliance with the Sun Moon Empire. In this world, whether it is the Star Luo Empire or Shrek Academy, I fear we are completely finished!"

Meanwhile, the Huo Yuhao on the Sky Screen had already cast his gaze toward the distant west of the ocean.

"The remnants of Star Luo think that by fleeing to that desolate new continent, they can survive?"

Huo Yuhao sneered, "I will let you know what it means to pursue the fleeing enemy with remaining strength, rather than seeking fame and reputation. I will not repeat the mistake the Martial Soul Hall High Priest made when he let the Clear Sky Sect go..."

The scene shifted; on the surface of the sea, countless massive, all-metal warships cut through the waves. These were the "Cross-Sea Conqueror" vessels, combining the top-tier propulsion systems of the Sun Moon Empire with the artifact-refining techniques passed down by Electrolux.

Huo Yuhao stood with his hands behind his back at the dragon-headed prow of the flagship, his black hair dancing wildly in the wind, looking like a demon god descended upon the world.

This war could not even be called a war; it was a slaughter.

The remaining coastal defenses of the Star Luo Empire were instantly paralyzed under the coverage of the "Soul Nuclear Blast." The soldiers could not even scream before their Sea of Consciousness shattered, reducing them to walking corpses.
