"Your Majesty." Ten Thousand Demon King returned at this moment. Following the task Gu Yuena had assigned, he had completed it. He now understood why she had done this. These tactics were truly damn effective in the human world.

"How was it? Have you prepared the new story content?"

"Your Majesty!" Ten Thousand Demon King said loudly. "You are truly brilliant! I never expected that using these methods in the human world could leave Shrek in such a miserable state. Amazing! As expected, Your Majesty is far too wise. I have so much to learn from you!"

At first, Ten Thousand Demon King had not understood Gu Yuena's plan to wage a public opinion war against Shrek. He had thought such methods would be of little use against Shrek, but he had never expected them to work so well.

Their level 98 Super Douluo had nearly been ruined by a group of Soul Master families whose members had not even reached Soul Saint rank. Shrek's reputation had been utterly wrecked as well.

"Of course. I learned plenty of formidable knowledge during my time in the human world. It is just a pity that I failed to kill that level 98 one. After all, he is the next master of the Sea God Pavilion. If we killed the next pavilion master, Shrek's strength would decline greatly. But that place is troublesome too. Not only is it a holy land for Soul Masters, it is also a force of the gods. I originally intended to find a way to kill him, so that one god would have one fewer lackey in the lower realm. I did not expect him to survive. I can only say we were a little unlucky."

At first, Gu Yuena had not believed that the contents Morax wrote in his Diary could deal with Shrek. She had never expected the tactic to be so ruthless!

Morax, I'll borrow your methods. For the sake of my reputation, I'll have to trouble you to make a tiny sacrifice.

"Your Majesty, you cannot be blamed for this. The main reason is that the Dragon God Douluo was simply too ruthless. We thought that Mu En only had that much ability, but we never expected him to make such a grave oath just to protect Xuan Zi. We truly did not anticipate that. After all, who would dare cut off their own head?"

Ten Thousand Demon King had not expected this either. At first, when he learned that Shrek's people had been besieged by families with members below Soul Saint rank, the public opinion attacks had indeed left Shrek in a miserable state. He had believed that as long as Xuan Zi was killed, they could cut off one of Shrek's arms.

Yet he had never expected Dragon God Douluo Mu En to make such a vicious oath in order to save Xuan Zi.

"In short, next we will target homosexuality and make Shrek's people too ashamed to face anyone. And it must be made as realistic as possible. No matter what, it has to look more convincing. For now, we will release something meaningless first and give them some time to recover. Then we will hit them with something even harsher."

"Yes!" After saying that, Ten Thousand Demon King left, preparing to publish the new book content.

"Your Majesty, Morax came up with all of these things, but you told Uncle Ten Thousand Demon King and the others that you thought of them yourself. Isn't that a little...?"

The Auspicious Beast had originally wanted to argue, but upon seeing Gu Yuena's expression, she no longer knew what to say.

"Remember, I am a wise and brilliant being."

"Yes."

The Auspicious Beast found Gu Yuena's expression fucking terrifying!

"By the way, Morax is also curious in his Diary about who released the content of these books. Should we find an opportunity to come clean to Morax, without revealing anything about the Diary?"

"Indeed. We are borrowing Morax's methods to deal with Shrek. If we make him suspicious, it could become troublesome. After all, I rarely receive rewards."

Gu Yuena recalled that both times, she had basically only received rewards that raised her Soul Power by one level. This made her furious. The reason was simple: those things were useless to her. Gu Yuena was already at the peak of First-Class God rank and could fight a God King, after all. She was a clone of the Dragon God.

But at her level, raising her Soul Power by one rank was useless. Therefore, Gu Yuena wanted better rewards.

She hoped to claim first place.

"Your Majesty, to be honest, I think we should have come clean to Morax from the start, then used Morax's ideas to deal with Shrek. That way, there might not have been so much trouble. Yet you insisted on dealing with Shrek first."

The Auspicious Beast did not think much of Gu Yuena's idea of going after Shrek first. They should have spoken to Morax and come clean first, without revealing anything about the Diary.

But Gu Yuena had insisted on targeting Shrek first.

"What else could we do? We have already done it."

After saying that, Gu Yuena left with the Auspicious Beast.

But unbeknownst to them, Morax was watching the two of them—two beasts—from nearby.

"It seems having some helpers is quite nice."

Morax had originally hoped that Gu Yuena and the Auspicious Beast would carry out these actions in the Sun Moon Empire and spread those books, so that they could better deal with Shrek later.

Of course, to protect the two of them, Morax had also secretly kept watch over them in case anything happened. However, such concern was unnecessary.

In a room, a large number of Diary holders had gathered. All of them possessed Morax's Diary.

"Since we are here, let us all come clean. You can all see Morax's Diary in your spiritual worlds. Then, in order to deal with Shrek and Tang San, shouldn't you support us as well?"

Gu Yuena said.

"Of course we agree. We have a common enemy, after all. However, I would like to mention the Diary rewards. Everyone, there are rewards that we need too, but some of the rewards may be useless to you. How about this? Whenever the Diary gives out rewards in the future, those who need them can exchange them with one another."

At this moment, Snow Empress stepped forward and spoke. The top three in the Diary could all receive decent rewards. Although Gu Yuena had terrible luck and the third-place rewards were not very good, raising Soul Power by one level was still quite useful to some powerful people.

"That works. However, the Auspicious Beast and I currently plan to come clean to Morax first. We will not reveal anything about the Diary, but I need to explain some things to Morax. Otherwise, he may become suspicious that we can see the Diary."
