Background / History

Shrek stood at the center of the Douluo Continent for ten thousand years. It did not participate in politics or seek hegemony; instead, it upheld righteousness, sheltered weaker soul masters, and guarded the common people across generations. 1

In Tang Wulin's original era, the Federation, Spirit Pagoda, and Holy Spirit Cult joined forces to eradicate Shrek and the Tang Sect. Two Level-12 Fixed-Mounted Godslayer Soul Cannon Shells struck Shrek City and the Tang Sect headquarters, devastating the academy, city, and their inhabitants. 1

Pavilion Master Yun Ming burned his quasi-god body, cultivation foundation, and divine soul origin to weaken the shells and preserve surviving disciples. His sacrifice could not prevent Shrek's fall, but it protected Tang Wulin and other survivors. 1

After Tang Wulin was pulled through a spatial-temporal fissure, he arrived in an earlier era where Shrek City and its academy remained prosperous and intact. 3

Sea God Pavilion

Sea God Pavilion stands on Sea God Island and serves as Shrek's highest authority. The elder masters within—Title Douluo and Ultimate Douluo—make decisions concerning the academy's survival and the balance of the soul master world; even the four deans must obey them. 4

The pavilion contains cultivation chambers, a library, soul bones, and soul-tool treasures. Entering it is considered Shrek students' highest honor, while betrayal of Shrek brings a judgment that the broader soul master world cannot overturn. 4
