He was suspended in the sky above Spirit Sea, his gray-white eyes slowly scanning the space.
Then, his eyes stopped on the huge sun.
The dazzling golden sun sleeping in the center of the Spirit Sea.
A trace of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes.
"This is..." His voice was old and low, with a hoarseness that had traveled through a long time, "Sun Origin?"
He moved his gaze away from the sun, swept across the entire Spirit Sea, and finally landed on the consciousness of the young man below.
"Little guy," Electrolux spoke, with a hint of playfulness in his tone, "When I was sleeping, you didn't seem to panic at all?"
Lin Yaoyang's conscious body stood there, looking up at the old man who suddenly appeared.
"Why are you panicking? You're not here to harm me."
Electrolux raised his eyebrows slightly.
"How do you know I'm not here to harm you?"
"If you wanted to harm me, you wouldn't wait until now." Lin Yaoyang's tone was still calm.
"You could have done it when you penetrated me Spirit Sea a year ago. You didn't."
Electrolux was silent for a moment, and then smiled.
The smile was very faint, but very true.
"Interesting." He said, "You are much smarter than I expected."
He looked around and his eyes fell on the golden sun again.
"This rich vitality has awakened me. Where is this place?"
"Golden Tree."
"The treasure tree that captures the creation of heaven and earth."
Electrolux sighed.
His eyes turned to Lin Yaoyang.
"Little guy, my name is Electrolux, and I come from another world."
Lin Yaoyang looked at him and said nothing.
Electrolux waited for a while, but when he saw that he didn't ask any further questions, he couldn't help but ask, "Don't you want to ask me why I'm here? Why did I get into your Spirit Sea?"
"You will naturally say it when you want to say it." Lin Yaoyang said, "I asked, but you may not tell the truth."
Electrolux was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled.
"You little guy..." There was a complex emotion in his tone, which sounded like helplessness and admiration. "I have lived for so many years and have seen countless geniuses. You are the first one that made me feel interesting."
He stopped his smile and said seriously, "I am a remnant soul. I suffered some injuries during my lifetime. After my death, I only had this trace of consciousness left, which wandered in the universe for countless years. That day I sensed the Light Power in you. It was the extremely pure Light Power."
"Please forgive me for my offense!"
Lin Yaoyang nodded and said, "It's okay. As the saying goes, having an old man in the family is like having a treasure. Since the senior comes from another world, he must know a lot of interesting things. Why don't you tell me about it in the future?"
"Of course, but I still need to recover for a while now, please forgive me!"
"Yeah!"
The gray shadow regrouped and turned into a new Grey Bead, suspended in the sky above Spirit Sea.
Lin Yaoyang withdrew his gaze and focused on his cultivation again.
By practicing here, Soul Power operates several times faster than the outside world, and the body's absorption efficiency of the vitality of heaven and earth is also greatly improved.
But Lin Yaoyang is here not just for cultivation.
He needs to think about something clearly.
Time passes in silence.
I don't know how long it took, maybe a few days, maybe more than ten days.
Lin Yaoyang's consciousness becomes clearer and sharper during meditation.
At this moment, he felt something strange.
It seeped out from the depths of Golden Tree, like an invisible snake, swimming towards him silently.
The target is not his body.
It's his Spirit Sea.
"Be careful, little friend! There is a strange spiritual thought approaching you!"
Lin Yaoyang's alertness was instantly heightened.
That spiritual thought was very clever, not aggressive, but guiding.
It will not forcefully break into your consciousness, it will only gently push at the edge of your thinking, allowing you to generate certain ideas "yourself".
"Everything is for Shrek."
"Tang Sect's glory is your glory."
"Dedicate everything to Shrek."
When that blue divine thought touched the edge of the Spirit Sea.
The golden red light on Lin Yaoyang's body lit up.
Just for a moment.
Like the sun turning over in its sleep.
The moment the blue spiritual thought came into contact with the golden-red light, it suddenly retracted as if it had been burned.
It didn't struggle, didn't resist, didn't even hesitate, just like a moth that ran into a flame and ran away instinctively.
But to no avail, the golden light engulfed it directly.
Electrolux is a little surprised, it seems that this kid is not simple at all!
This thing called Martial Soul can actually protect itself?
And it can also destroy strange spiritual thoughts?
Practice continues.
Golden Tree's environment is indeed suitable for meditation.
Here, his thinking was clearer than usual, and those previously vague ideas gradually became clear.
He is thinking about one thing.
What on earth is he going to do?
Before coming to Shrek, his goal was very clear, to destroy Shrek and bring down Tang San.
But he didn't think very carefully about how to do it. He just took it one step at a time and tried to figure it out as he saw it.
Now, a semester has passed. He has seen a lot, experienced a lot, and seen a lot clearly in Shrek.
Zhou Yi's strictness is not education, but screening.
The gentleness of Mu Jin is not Goodness, it is calculation.
Yan Shaozhe's cultivation is not appreciation, but investment.
Mu En's expectation is not to love, but to control.
Even Zhang Lexuan's approach to him has the shadow of Mu En behind it.
Shrek Academy, does not cultivate people.
It screens people, invests in people with potential, and controls people with value.
Those who were screened out left silently and no one cared about them.
Those who are invested become the pawns of the college and contribute to Shrek's Ten Thousand Years glory.
Those who are controlled live under that huge halo all their lives, like the roots of Golden Tree, deeply rooted in this land and unable to extricate themselves.
This is Shrek.
A more powerful, more covert, and more complete monopoly than Spirit Hall.
Spirit Hall monopolizes the power of Soul Master, and Shrek monopolizes the future of Soul Master.
After the Spirit Hall fell, Shrek took over its authority, but not its responsibility.
Spirit Hall at least awakens Martial Soul for the common people, and at least hunts Evil Soul Master throughout the continent.
What did Shrek do?
Sitting on Sea God Island, waiting for the world's talents to come to worship. Then, the best ones among them will be transformed into their own shape.
Lin Yaoyang closed his eyes and had the answer in his heart.
He is not here to "change" Shrek.
Shrek is rotten to the core and no one can change it.
He is not here to "replace" Shrek. To replace a monopolist is just to become the next monopolist.
What he wants to do is to establish a new order.
An order that does not belong to any force and is based on "light" and "justice".
A force that can truly protect this continent.
This idea gradually took shape in Golden Tree, becoming more and more clear and firm. When Lin Yaoyang opened his eyes again, his eyes were calmer than ever.
He knew what he was going to do.
One month later.
Under Golden Tree, the golden light converges.
Lin Yaoyang stood up from the root of the tree and stretched his muscles.
A month of accelerated training, coupled with the power of Fire Dragon King Dragon Core left in his body's memory, allowed him to break through to level seventy.
At the same time, his state of mind experienced a qualitative leap.
He walked out of the quiet room.
Mu En is sitting on the recliner at the door of the Sea God Pavilion, with his eyes closed, seeming to be taking a nap.
Hearing the footsteps, he opened his eyes and his cloudy gaze fell on Lin Yaoyang.
"Come out?" The old man's voice was very soft, "What did you realize?"
Lin Yaoyang stood in front of him and was silent for a moment.
"Mu En," he said, "I want to leave Shrek."
Mu En's eyes opened slightly.
"Leave?" His voice was still calm, but the fingers holding the crutch tightened slightly, "Why?"
Lin Yaoyang's gaze did not escape.
"Because Shrek's path is not the path I want to take."
Mu En was silent for a long time.
"What path do you want to take?"
Lin Yaoyang raised his head and looked at the blue sky above Sea God Island.
"Establish a force that can truly protect this continent."
Mu En's brows furrowed.
"Shrek can also protect the mainland."
"Shrek protects his own glory, not the mainland."
Lin Yaoyang's voice is not high, but every word is clear and firm.
"Ten Thousand Years Before, Tang San defeated Spirit Hall. But Spirit Hall at least awakened Martial Soul for the common people, at least in the world Mainland China is hunting Evil Soul Master. Shrek took over the authority of the Spirit Hall and had a higher political status than Spirit Hall, but what did it do?"
Mu En said nothing.
"Sit on Sea God Island and wait for others to come and worship." Lin Yaoyang continued.
"Generations of Soul Master walked out of here and learned to fight, but not responsibility. They fought for the glory of Shrek and for the interests of the empire, but rarely fought for those civilians who did not have Martial Soul."
"Do you know how many Evil Soul Master there are in the whole continent now?"
Mu En remains silent.
Lin Yaoyang raised one hand and spread its fingers.
"Thirty thousand. At least thirty thousand." He said, "No academy can accommodate so many people. And the number of Evil Soul Master killed by Shrek every year is less than one percent of the total."
He put down his hand and looked at Mu En.
"Mu En, I would venture to say that the roots of Shrek are already rotten. No matter how many talents and resources you have, you cannot support a rotten house."
Mu En closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
In that sigh, there was fatigue, helplessness, and a hint of sadness that was not easy to detect.
"You are right." The old man's voice was very low, "I also know some things."
He opened his eyes and looked at Lin Yaoyang.
"But do you really think that you alone can change anything?"
Lin Yaoyang shook his head.
"I'm not alone," he said, "There will be people following me."
Mu En looked at him for a long time.
Then he laughed.
That smile was very bitter, like a cup of cold tea.
"Go." Mu En waved his hand, "I won't stop you."
Lin Yaoyang nodded, turned around and took two steps.
"Boy."
Lin Yaoyang stopped.
"If one day you get tired outside, Shrek's door will always be open for you."
Lin Yaoyang There is no looking back.
"That day will never come."
