That evening, Tang Wulin was clearly a little excited.
During dinner, he became much more outgoing and started taking the initiative to talk with them.
Other than still refusing to speak to Gu Yue, Tang Wulin chatted and laughed with everyone else, while Gu Yue paid him no attention whatsoever.
Her attention was mainly on Chen Ye, and she chatted with him.
Gu Yue, Na'er, and even Chen Ye himself had all noticed this somewhat complicated situation.
Only Tang Wulin believed he had hidden his little thoughts well, though none of the three exposed him.
Although Gu Yue and Na'er had existed for tens of thousands of years, they were like blank sheets of paper. They had experienced too little and did not really know how to communicate with him.
Chen Ye, meanwhile, did not care at all. He even found it somewhat amusing, considering he was a transmigrator.
His age was what it was, and his mentality could already be considered mature, but Tang Wulin was just a child.
Others did not know, but Chen Ye knew certain things.
At this stage, Tang Wulin liked Gu Yue, and he also liked that senior student. Now, both girls had started going running.
Every morning after six, Tang Wulin went running just so he could run with Senior Ouyang and smell the fresh floral fragrance on her body.
Chen Ye therefore did not care about any of this. He had not even stopped Tang Wulin from meeting Senior Ouyang, intending to let Tang Wulin first taste the pain of being abandoned.
After dinner, everyone went their separate ways. Once Tang Wulin had said goodbye to the three of them, he headed straight for the sports field.
Na'er's expression was somewhat strange, but she did not stop him and returned to the girls' dormitory herself.
On the path, Chen Ye and Gu Yue walked side by side, both wearing slightly languid expressions.
"After we go to the Spirit Ascension Platform tomorrow, do you want to join forces and explore deeper inside?"
Gu Yue looked at Chen Ye and asked. Chen Ye turned his head slightly toward her, not particularly interested in the topic.
"Sure, whatever. I don't have high demands. Anything works for me."
As an Ancient God who possessed authority by nature, Chen Ye's Dragon of Imagination martial soul did not need Soul Rings, nor did it need to raise their cultivation years.
So while the Spirit Ascension Platform was immensely tempting to everyone else, it held little appeal for him.
Of course, he was still interested in the Spirit Ascension Platform, but his interest differed from everyone else's.
Others went there to cultivate and increase the years of their Soul Rings, while Chen Ye went there to infiltrate the Spirit Pagoda.
"Then it's settled. Once we're at the Spirit Pagoda, we'll explore deeper inside together."
"Sure. You go ahead and look around. I'm heading back to the dorm."
With that, Chen Ye smiled at Gu Yue and leisurely made his way toward the dormitory.
Gu Yue remained standing there quietly, her brows faintly furrowed and confusion in her eyes.
She did not understand it. Chen Ye had clearly treated her very well before, and there had even been an inexplicable feeling between them.
Yet Chen Ye still treated her well now, except that kindness carried an inexplicable politeness and sense of distance.
That distance was something Gu Yue could not bear, or rather, could not accept.
She did not know why Chen Ye was doing this, nor why he was treating her this way.
The girl lightly touched her chest, her eyes dimming slightly.
Early the next morning, while the other students were either out having fun or shopping, the members of Class Zero had already gathered in their classroom shortly after seven.
Going to the Spirit Ascension Platform was great, but eight o'clock classes were not!
Seeing the students who looked like zombies one after another, even Wu Zhangkong wore a helpless expression.
"We'll go early and get it over with early. There's special training for you tonight as well."
"Everyone, follow me. We're boarding the bus now."
Wu Zhangkong called out, and the group followed him directly onto the bus.
Eastsea Academy was not far from the Spirit Pagoda in Eastsea City. After a little over twenty minutes on the road, they arrived at Eastsea City's Spirit Pagoda.
The Spirit Pagoda here was the same as the Spirit Pagodas everywhere else, including the one at Spirit Pagoda headquarters.
Its foundation was broad, while its interior narrowed as it rose, until the very top formed something like a triangular tower.
That was not only the tower's symbol; the higher one went, the more it represented power.
Clearly, Eastsea Academy had arranged things with the local Spirit Pagoda. As soon as they arrived, a staff member came to guide them.
The staff member naturally noticed Chen Ye as well, but according to the rules, he did not greet him and simply led everyone inside.
The Spirit Pagoda was magnificently decorated. The floor was made of a material like diamond, and stepping on it gave one a sense of weight and solidity.
As they continued inward, mural after mural came into view. They recorded the first founder of the Spirit Pagoda, the inventor of Soul Spirits, Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao.
Of course, the records here did not explicitly state that Huo Yuhao had ascended to the God Realm. They merely said that after he disappeared, it was speculated that he might have gone to the God Realm.
As the staff member introduced the murals, Chen Ye was not particularly interested.
As for Huo Yuhao, if Chen Ye became stronger in the future, he might go back to take a look.
After all, he was somewhat interested in Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er. Perhaps he might bring them to this era, ten thousand years later.
It was not because Chen Ye felt it was such a pity that Wang Dong'er later became Tang Wutong. He simply thought it would be fun.
If he felt like it, he might even bring Huo Yuhao back. But that would not be of much use. History was predetermined and could not be changed.
Even if he could bring Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong'er, and Wang Qiu'er back, he would not be able to change the previous outcome.
Still, Chen Ye had a rather good idea. He wondered whether he should bring Huo Yuhao here and tell him every Memory he knew.
Once Dai Yuhao went to the God Realm, he had no choice. Whether he liked Tang Wutong or not, Tang Wutong would be his lover. That was something he could not change, after all, Tang San was there.
But the Huo Yuhao brought back would most likely only be seventeen or eighteen years old.
Though being forced to accept his fate might make him collapse or even leave him unable to understand, it would still be better than becoming a god later, going to the God Realm, and becoming Tang San's dog.
With Chen Ye around, Huo Yuhao might still have the chance to consider his future.
But if he fell into Tang San's hands, he would most likely still be trained into a dog and continue being with Tang Wutong.
Of course, what Chen Ye was most curious about was what would happen if the Huo Yuhao he brought back encountered Dai Yuhao after his return from the God Realm.
After all, in the later stages of the Douluo era, Huo Yuhao could not use the Three Ultimates of Thinking of Dong.
Yet according to the original timeline, Huo Yuhao of the Great God Circle could use the Three Ultimates of Thinking of Dong again.
What would Huo Yuhao think when he saw Wang Dong'er then?
Seeing Wang Dong'er together with his former self... that might be very interesting.
