Wang Dong'er knew that not only had Huo Yuhao failed to join the Tang Sect as Tang San had planned, using the Tang Sect's exemption slot to enter Shrek Academy, but he had even become enemies with Tang Ya, the current sect master of the Tang Sect, and was now heading toward the Sun Moon Empire.

If Tang San made no further changes to his plans, then this scheme of his was destined to fail.

I'll stay at Shrek Academy for a while and see whether Tang San has any more tricks up his sleeve! Right, I wonder whether anyone else has received a Diary Copy of Huo Yuhao's diary. If they have, then does that Eldest Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan Huo Yuhao mentioned already know that her true enemy is Shrek Academy?

If Zhang Lexuan learns the truth behind her family's destruction, she'll definitely want to leave Shrek Academy too, won't she? Could I have her take me with her?

At the thought of that possibility, Wang Dong'er's eyes immediately brightened considerably.

Wang Dong'er had already decided where she would run away to: the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, the same destination as Huo Yuhao.

After all, even if Shrek Academy did not care about her leaving, if Niu Tian and Titan learned of it, they would certainly drag her back to the Clear Sky Sect to prevent Tang San's Millennium Plan from being ruined.

Looking across the entire Douluo Continent, the only force capable of and willing to fend off the Clear Sky Sect's wrath was probably the Sun Moon Empire.

Wang Dong'er was not worried that the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy would reject her. Just as Huo Yuhao had written in his Diary, with the talent of her Twin Martial Souls, would the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy not cherish her like a treasure?

Wang Dong'er was truly curious about how Huo Yuhao would react when he saw her at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy.

Thinking of that scene, Wang Dong'er could not help but let out a giggle. The radiant smile on the heroic-looking "boy's" face made the passing female students stare at her with smoldering eyes.

Seeing this, Wang Dong'er hurriedly hid her smile and quickly left.

However, to her disappointment, after asking around, she learned that Zhang Lexuan, the Eldest Senior Sister of the Inner Court, had already left Shrek Academy before Wang Dong'er arrived.

With no other choice, Wang Dong'er could only return to the dormitory where she lived alone and get some proper rest. Tomorrow was the official start of the school year, and she wanted to see whether Shrek Academy's teaching standards were truly as exceptional as Titan had claimed.

Lake of Life, Star Dou Great Forest.

A woman's voice, clear as silver bells yet filled with majesty, rang out from within the lake.

"Di Tian, didn't I tell you that I need time to recover from my injuries? Unless it is something particularly important, do not wake me."

Upon hearing this, Di Tian immediately bowed respectfully.

"My Lord, the Auspicious Beast said there might be a problem with her soul, but I found nothing unusual when I examined her just now. That is why I woke you, hoping you could take a look."

Three-Eyed Golden Lion also widened her eyes as she looked at the Lake of Life before her. As far as she remembered, she had never seen this mysterious Lord before, and Huo Yuhao had not mentioned her in the Diary either.

The surroundings fell silent for a moment. The waters of the Lake of Life began to churn as though boiling, and in the next instant, an enormous dragon covered in dazzling silver light silently rose from the surface.

The Silver Dragon King looked at Three-Eyed Golden Lion and said calmly, "Do not resist."

As the Silver Dragon King's words fell, Three-Eyed Golden Lion could clearly feel a strand of Spiritual Power invading her mind. Her first instinct was to drive it away, but after realizing what was happening, she completely relaxed instead.

What the Silver Dragon King did not expect was that the very moment her Spiritual Power entered Three-Eyed Golden Lion's mind, she clearly saw a silver notebook inlaid with golden threads resting quietly within it.

"Hmm? Auspicious Beast, why is there a noteboo—"

The Silver Dragon King's words abruptly stopped, because the moment she tried to say that there was a notebook in the Auspicious Beast's mind, she felt as though some mysterious force had seized her heart.

This made her clearly realize that if she insisted on continuing, that mysterious force would directly crush her heart and erase her from existence in an instant!

This unknown situation filled the Silver Dragon King with fear.

Even though she was severely injured and nowhere near her peak strength, not even the God Kings of the God Realm could possibly put her in such a situation.

What is going on? Could this be some contingency those damned God Kings left behind when I escaped from the God Realm to the Douluo Continent?

Just as the Silver Dragon King was raging over this, she suddenly noticed that the Diary was not only in the Auspicious Beast's mind—there was one in her own mind as well.

The Silver Dragon King's pupils contracted slightly as she used her consciousness to control the Diary and examine its contents.

To Di Tian, however, her strange behavior only filled the Beast God with even greater confusion.

Why does it feel like my Lord has become strange too? What exactly is wrong with the Auspicious Beast's soul, for it to provoke such a huge reaction from my Lord? And what was that unfinished sentence just now?

Before the utterly bewildered Di Tian could ask, the Silver Dragon King, having finished reading the Diary, suddenly said in a deep voice, "Di Tian, I have checked. There is nothing wrong with the Auspicious Beast's soul. Leave for now. I have other matters to discuss with her."

Di Tian instinctively glanced at the Auspicious Beast beside him. He always felt that his Lord and the Auspicious Beast now shared some secret he did not know about, and they were clearly excluding him from it.

Though he desperately wanted to understand what was happening, Di Tian did not dare disobey his Lord's command. He immediately departed from the Lake of Life at the very center of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Once Di Tian had completely left, Three-Eyed Golden Lion hurriedly looked at the Silver Dragon King and asked, "My Lord, you can see that Diary in my mind too, right?"

The Silver Dragon King nodded. "There is one in my mind as well. It is also a Diary Copy of Huo Yuhao's Diary, but one exclusively for me."

No wonder!

Three-Eyed Golden Lion finally understood why the Silver Dragon King's words had abruptly stopped earlier. Only those who possessed a copy could discuss the Diary's existence with one another! It could not be revealed to outsiders!

Clearly, Di Tian was an outsider!

"That person named Tang San in the Diary is the human who became the Sea God ten thousand years ago. According to this Huo Yuhao, he intends to take the entire Douluo Continent for himself!"

"If he truly succeeds, the circumstances of us Soul Beasts will become even more difficult! But Huo Yuhao is no longer the Huo Yuhao he once was, and his schemes are destined to fail! Perhaps the fate of us Soul Beasts can change as well—"

Three-Eyed Golden Lion had been listening intently to the Silver Dragon King's explanation when she discovered that the Silver Dragon King's words had abruptly stopped again. Moreover, those eyes that seemed to contain all things were filled with shock and delight.

Three-Eyed Golden Lion tilted her head and asked blankly, "What is it, my Lord?"

The Silver Dragon King was so excited that she nearly wanted to howl at the sky to vent the joy in her heart. Only after taking several deep breaths did she finally calm down somewhat.

"The connection between the God Realm and the Douluo Continent has disappeared! The pressure and restraints the gods placed upon us Soul Beasts are gone as well!"

Three-Eyed Golden Lion blinked her eyes, completely unaware of what was different. After all, as the Auspicious Beast, the bottlenecks and great tribulations that other Soul Beasts had to face would never appear for her.

The Silver Dragon King did not mind her reaction. She merely looked at her and said in a deep voice, "I cannot yet determine whether the severed connection between the Douluo Continent and the God Realm is related to this Diary. Therefore, you will stay with me for the time being."

Three-Eyed Golden Lion instinctively nodded without refusing. She liked the aura around the Lake of Life very much as well.

Having calmed the delight in her heart, the Silver Dragon King submerged herself in the Lake of Life once more. This time, however, she did not choose to sleep. Instead, she absorbed the energy of the Gold of Life beneath the lake.

No matter what the true reason was for the severed connection between the Douluo Continent and the God Realm, she had to completely recover from her injuries as quickly as possible!

Left alone, Three-Eyed Golden Lion lay beside the Lake of Life in boredom. Before long, she fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, the first thing Huo Yuhao did after waking up was claim the reward for meeting yesterday's diary-writing requirement.

"Ah? This is the reward I got for writing yesterday's diary???"
