The Furious Golden Ancient Tree

But at this moment, the ancient tree that symbolized glory and pride was furious.

Its trunk trembled violently, golden light erupting from every crack in its bark like a volcano on the verge of eruption. Its leaves rustled loudly, each shudder releasing a powerful surge of energy that distorted the air around it.

Its roots tore free from the ground, one after another, thick root tendrils lashing through the air like furious Giant Pythons.

Dense Blue Silver Vines were Entangled around its trunk.

The vines were pale blue, their surfaces flowing with a soft sheen, as though woven from the finest silk.

The vines wound from the roots all the way to the crown, tightly wrapping the entire Golden Ancient Tree and leaving only a small portion at the very top exposed. These Blue Silver Vines had taken root at Shrek Academy for twenty thousand years. They were a legacy left behind by the ancestor Sea God Tang San, a symbol of pride in the hearts of all Shrek people.

But now, these vines were trembling as well.

They released a gentle glow, trying to soothe the Golden Ancient Tree's fury. The light was tender and warm, like a quiet murmur, like a soft consolation. But the Golden Ancient Tree ignored it completely. Its trembling grew more violent, its golden light more dazzling, and its rage more intense.

The vines' glow dimmed beneath the golden radiance, like an oil lamp swallowed by sunlight.

Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li was the first to notice that something was wrong. She was extraordinarily sensitive to life force and could sense even the slightest emotional changes in living beings. At this moment, she clearly felt the Golden Ancient Tree's fury. That fury was not directed at any one person, but at the entire world.
