The Seven Monsters quickly left Shrek City.

Sea God Pavilion.

Zhuo Shi gazed in the direction they had departed, then suddenly remembered something. Turning to Yun Ming, he asked, "Boss, you didn't tell those seven old demons about Tang Wulin and Gu Yue, did you?"

Yun Ming opened his eyes, which were full of amusement. "We have to give those seven fiends a little surprise, don't we? It's the sincerity of us juniors."

Zhuo Shi and he exchanged smiles, each seeing a trace of schadenfreude in the other's expression.

A golden streak of light plummeted at tremendous speed toward a pitch-black sea.

The Black Sea churned violently, its dreadful, prison-like aura of destruction frantically eroding the golden radiance.

The man enveloped in golden light merely frowned. The radiance around him condensed into the shape of a dragon, accompanied by a deep dragon's roar. Light flashed between his brows, and a dazzling golden spear flew forth, plunging straight into the Black Sea as though joyfully swimming through it.

Though the power of destruction was very likely derived from the God of Destruction, it was no longer divine power after all and posed no threat to him.

He walked across the waves as leisurely as if strolling through a garden, stepping onto the shattered island.

The moment he entered the island, seven entirely different yet immensely powerful spiritual auras locked onto him. A gloomy voice rang out. "Who goes there?"

What's going on? Didn't the Pavilion Master explain things? Tang Wulin was somewhat surprised. He raised his hand to recall the Golden Dragon Spear and stopped to explain, "I am one of the Shrek Seven Monsters."

"What nonsense! How could a few children from the Shrek Seven Monsters possibly cross the Sea of Destruction directly? Though we have stayed out of worldly affairs for a long time, we are not so easily deceived by such pathetic lies—get lost immediately, or die!"

Tang Wulin's mouth twitched. "Senior, I can prove my identity..."

"Enough nonsense! If you don't leave, stay here with us forever!" The gloomy voice abruptly cut him off. The power of destruction permeating the island instantly turned violent and surged toward Tang Wulin to tear him apart.

Tang Wulin was helpless, but he had important business here. Naturally, he could not return empty-handed so easily.

All of these old demons were spiritual bodies... In that case, there was no need for anything flashy. Spiritual power at the Divine Origin realm burst forth without reservation—the seven old demons within the Valley of Life felt as if they had seen a pair of vertical pupils burning like golden furnaces. Their souls were instantly struck by the arrogant, world-dominating majesty within those eyes.

They cried out miserably, their soul bodies immediately dimming considerably.

Once Tang Wulin sensed the power of destruction collapse and return to calm, no longer obstructing his advance, he took a single step forward and landed directly in the center of the Valley of Life, standing before the seven old demons.

"Who exactly are you?" One of the old demons stared at him coldly.

Tang Wulin took out a green school uniform and student card from his storage device, his face full of helplessness. "I really am a Shrek student!"

The expressions of the seven old demons changed.

So it had really been a misunderstanding!

"So, you're not here for military training?" Greed, the leader of the seven demons, frowned.

Tang Wulin nodded. "You can understand it that way. I mainly came to investigate the origin of this island."

"As for the other six, they will undergo military training as usual." The smile on Tang Wulin's face gradually widened.

It was not that he was letting his companions down, but they had to go through this trial. Tang Wulin was perfectly justified.

Greed snorted coldly. "That brat Yun Ming deliberately didn't tell us."

A plump old man beside him asked Tang Wulin, "What do you plan to do?"

Tang Wulin said, "I'm waiting for someone. Once she arrives, I'll naturally begin acting. If all goes well, you may even be able to leave this place and return to Shrek."

At those words, the previously indifferent expressions of the others abruptly turned excited.

Desire rushed directly in front of him. "You mean it!?"

Tang Wulin scratched his head. "It's feasible, but we still need to discuss this with the academy first."

Greed murmured, "Yes... yes... If you truly succeed..."

Tang Wulin said solemnly, "I will definitely help you regain your freedom."

Greed burst into laughter, and even the weakness in his soul body from the earlier impact seemed to lessen considerably.

"Good!"

The seven old demons, who habitually wore gloomy expressions, suddenly broke into twisted smiles.

Yet Tang Wulin could sense the relief emanating from within them.

Perhaps they did not hold much hope, but even the slightest hope allowed them to find a glimmer of light.

After calming their excited emotions, the seven demons suddenly remembered something. "You just said you were waiting for someone. Who?"

Tang Wulin raised a brow. "Perfect timing. She's here."

He looked up to see a silver rift suddenly tear open in the sky. The power of destruction instantly erupted, attempting to seal the rift and shred the uninvited guest.

Yet the silver light grew brighter and brighter, even faintly giving off a nine-colored radiance.

An impassioned dragon's roar rang out. Golden light shot into the sky, reflecting brilliantly against the silver glow.

The originally dim nine-colored radiance suddenly became solid and bright, actually beginning to absorb the power of destruction pouring into the rift.

Tang Wulin's expression changed, and he swiftly appeared beneath the rift.

Silver light flickered continuously, and a figure appeared at his side—it was Gu Yue, who had just arrived from Shrek City.

Gu Yue's expression was equally uncertain. She had not expected such a change at all.

Below them, the seven old demons had remained on Devil Island for a long time and were more sensitive to the fluctuations of the power sustaining their lives. Though it appeared that only the purple-black power of destruction was being devoured, even the power of life was actually being eroded.

That nine-colored radiance clearly contained both the powers of life and destruction, and it was an exceptionally balanced power of creation!

Tang Wulin and Gu Yue exchanged a glance. Though they could not sense it directly, with their spiritual power, discerning the flow of energy was not difficult.

The two made an immediate decision and clasped hands. Golden and silver light burst forth, and the nine-colored radiance was instantly drawn onto their bodies. The powers of destruction and life were no longer being devoured.

At the same time, the rift instantly closed. Having lost its target, the power of destruction dispersed once more and returned to calm.

The seven old demons felt their long-stilled hearts pounding wildly.

In a spiritual sense.

"How thrilling..." Abomination muttered. "One freak was bad enough, but two came at once... Could it be that this generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters is entirely made up of freaks?"

Sloth rolled his eyes. "Obviously, the other one isn't a member of the Shrek Seven Monsters, okay?"

Tang Wulin and Gu Yue landed within the Valley of Life.

Their hands were still clasped, and both wore strange expressions.

"Can you sense that will?" Tang Wulin turned to ask Gu Yue.

A trace of disgust crossed Gu Yue's face. "I can only sense a disgusting aura of the Divine Realm."

Tang Wulin's mouth twitched. It was not easy for him to say anything, so he could only reply, "Then it seems I'm the only one who can sense it."

Gu Yue said, "Your identity differs from mine. It is not strange that you can sense the lingering thoughts left behind when the two God Kings fell."

The two discussed secrets that would cause an uproar if revealed to the outside world as though no one else were present. The seven old demons stood beside them, unable to conceal the shock on their faces.

Having remained on Devil Island for a thousand years, they naturally had many conjectures regarding its origin.

Yet this young-looking woman had decisively determined that it was caused by the fall of the two God Kings of Life and Destruction, while the other found it entirely unsurprising. It was clear that both had deep connections to the legendary Divine Realm.

Tang Wulin glanced at the old demons. "She and I will be leaving first. Treat our friends well."

The two instantly vanished from where they stood.

Greed waved a hand, an eerie smile on his face. "Go on. Since those little friends have such a powerful companion, we should raise the difficulty for those six as well."

"Hehehe..." The old demons looked at one another and smiled darkly.
