Divine Realm Turmoil, Bad News Within the Pavilion!

The sky of the God Realm is always shrouded in a layer of eternal, iridescent glaze, with clouds surging beneath the colorful halo.

A palace radiating a soft blue light looms faintly amidst the sea of clouds.

It is none other than the Sea God Palace!

Inside the hall, a figure with long, water-blue hair and a refined, scholarly temperament sits cross-legged, eyes closed in meditation.

He is the Sea God and Asura, Tang San.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, he snaps his eyes open.

A flicker of uncertainty flashes through those same water-blue eyes.

A surge of extremely powerful holy energy has actually emerged from the Douluo Plane?

He stands up with a gloomy expression, his eyes fixed intently in the direction of Douluo Planet.

"Could it be the remnants of Martial Soul Hall? No! That's impossible..."

He frowns at first, then shakes his head slightly.

"In that battle back then, the Angel God's divine position was long shattered. Besides, this unfamiliar power of holiness and light feels completely different from what I felt before."

For Tang San, who has long regarded the Douluo Plane as his own possession, this sudden variable makes him feel a sense of irritation.

Just as he subconsciously releases his divine sense, preparing to push aside the mists of the lower realm to unearth the source of this anomaly, a voice like a thunderclap booms across the sky, instantly interrupting his actions.

"Sea God! You have repeatedly interfered in the affairs of the lower realm, severely violating the order of the God Realm. Do you know your crime?"

As the words fall, a figure wreathed in deep purple lightning, accompanied by a host of God Realm enforcers, storms into the Sea God Palace in a grand display.

Damn God of Destruction! Why is he always working against me? He truly has a path to death! That fluctuation just now was likely a trap set by this guy to catch me in the act!

Seeing that his actions have been discovered, Tang San subconsciously clenches his fists, his eyes turning icy cold.

But looking at the numerous enforcement gods brought by his opponent, and having been caught red-handed, he stops himself just as he is about to offer a defense.

In this situation, any explanation would seem pale and weak. Moreover, he must not lose the dignity befitting the Asura.

Thinking of this, he takes a deep breath and asks coldly, "What do you want?"

"Let's go." God of Destruction reveals a mocking smile. "By the laws of the God Realm, three days of confinement."

Three days...

Tang San loosens his fists, his expression shifting, but ultimately he says nothing more and follows God of Destruction out of the hall with a cold face.

It is merely three days, and since Xiao Qi has already descended to the lower realm, it will certainly not affect his ten-thousand-year grand plan...

God Realm, Life Ancient Tree.

Deep within the canopy, a woman in a water-green dress slowly opens her eyes.

Her appearance is not stunning, but she gives off a very comfortable feeling, like a spring breeze brushing the face or a gentle rain moistening the heart.

At this moment, a deep purple figure appears beside her; it is none other than God of Destruction, who has just locked Tang San away.

"God of Destruction, when did you learn to set traps to catch people?" Goddess of Life asks softly, gently swinging her fair, slender legs.

"This Seat would never stoop to such things." God of Destruction crosses his arms, clearly in a very good mood, and explains with rare patience, "The Angel God died without even ashes remaining; This Seat has no interest in pulling another piece of trash out of a pile of dead bodies."

"It wasn't you?" Goddess of Life is somewhat surprised.

God of Destruction does not answer, instead looking up toward the direction of the Sea God Palace.

Recalling Tang San's flustered and speechless appearance earlier, he suddenly grins, letting out a low, rumbling laugh.

"Although this was not my doing, however..." God of Destruction slowly raises his right hand, purple lightning dancing across his palm, "Since I have been misunderstood, I might as well see it through to the end and find some amusement at the expense of that fellow Tang San."

As his words fall, God of Destruction waves his hand violently!

The laws of destruction instantly pierce through the barriers of the God Realm, transforming into an invisible black veil that completely masks the aura of Douluo Planet.

At this moment, Tang San, who is sitting in the confinement room attempting to use other secret methods to quietly investigate the lower realm, finds his divine sense suddenly slamming into a wall of destruction!

"God of Destruction, I knew it was you!"

A roar of fury echoes through the confinement room.

Feeling the commotion from the confinement room, God of Destruction is in high spirits; he pulls Goddess of Life into his arms and throws his head back in laughter.

Goddess of Life leans into his embrace, covering her mouth as she giggles.

Shrek Academy, Sea God Pavilion.

Compared to the surging tides of the God Realm, the Sea God Pavilion, bathed in the radiance of the Golden Tree, appeared exceptionally tranquil at this moment.

Yan Shaozhe stood respectfully beside the recliner, reporting various matters to Mu En, who was resting with his eyes closed.

"Teacher... do we really have to honor that marriage contract with Long Xiaoyao?"

After the reports were essentially finished, Yan Shaozhe hesitated repeatedly before finally unable to hold back the question.

Mu En opened his cloudy eyes, saying nothing, merely watching Yan Shaozhe in silence.

An indescribable pressure instantly made it impossible for Yan Shaozhe to even lift his head.

"Do you think that even if Xuan Zi returned, he could defeat Long Xiaoyao?" Mu En knew his disciple's temperament better than anyone.

Calculating, yet lacking the strength to back it up.

"If you and Xuan Zi joined forces..."

"Enough!" Mu En's tone deepened, cutting Yan Shaozhe off directly. "That child possesses the finest talent in the world and can perfectly resolve the hidden danger of Xiao Tao's evil fire. It is Shrek's good fortune that Xiao Tao can enter into a marriage contract with him; how could you possibly want to oppose it?"

"I..." Yan Shaozhe opened his mouth, but ultimately sighed.

Long Yaochen had great talent and could solve Xiao Tao's evil fire problem; if it were anyone else, he would naturally be ten thousand times willing.

But that master and disciple pair, who acted without any taboos, always made him, the Dean, feel a sense of intense unease.

Seeing Mu En's resolve, Yan Shaozhe remained silent for a moment before changing the subject: "Teacher, Long Yaochen insists on going to the outer courtyard... given his background and strength, is it not somewhat inappropriate to place him among the freshmen?"

"Let him go if he wishes. It is a perfect opportunity to let the outside world see the foundation of our academy today, and incidentally, dampen the arrogance of those so-called geniuses." Mu En closed his eyes again, speaking in a casual tone.

Then, as if thinking of something, he asked: "I heard that among the freshman classes in the outer courtyard this time, Zhou Yi has the strongest teaching ability?"

"...That is indeed the case." A strange look flashed in Yan Shaozhe's eyes.

As the Dean of the Martial Soul Department, how could he not know of Zhou Yi?

But he knew even better how poor her reputation was; that woman had the backing of the Soul Tool Department, with Fan Yu, the treasure of the Soul Tool Department, supporting her.

Her style was extremely volatile, frequently expelling students and stirring up quite a bit of controversy.

He had originally thought she was someone Qian Duoduo had shoved in to annoy him, but later discovered she did have some redeeming qualities.

Many students who passed through her hands became exceptionally obedient.

Thus, Yan Shaozhe had simply let her be.

But since the teacher brought it up today, he surely intended to have that great Buddha, Long Yaochen, join Zhou Yi's class...

What a pity for such a useful tool...

Yan Shaozhe shook his head inwardly, silently lighting a candle for Zhou Yi.

Sure enough, Mu En's voice followed immediately: "Then let him go to Zhou Yi's class; only the best teacher is worthy of that boy's status."

"Yes."

Yan Shaozhe bowed his head in agreement and said no more.

The Sea God Pavilion returned to its former tranquility.

"It's bad! Elder Mu! Elder Xuan, he..."

But at that very moment, a hurried voice rang out, instantly tearing through the brief silence!

A figure appeared before the two, looking flustered.

"Elder Song? What did you just say?!"

Mu En felt a sudden sense of foreboding, but before he could speak, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but ask first.

Elder Song's face was deathly pale; she took a deep breath and delivered a piece of devastating news that caused the entire Sea God Pavilion to feel as if the sky were collapsing:

"Elder Xuan led a team to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for soul rings... something terrible has happened!!"
