In the conference room, Xie Xie suddenly thought of a question. "Everyone, now that Eternal Heaven has fused with that Divine Iron, shouldn't we calculate Eternal Heaven's point of impact in advance?
"Otherwise, with Eternal Heaven's power after the fusion, everything within a hundred li of its explosion will likely be obliterated.
Everyone froze for a moment before realizing that he was right. Eternal Heaven's landing point really was a problem.
There was no doubt that whichever city it fell upon would be reduced to nothingness.
What was more, many cities now had populations of hundreds of thousands!
Mo Lan pondered for a moment. "In that case, our best option is to lure the Golden Dragon King to a desolate place, then detonate Eternal Heaven."
Hearing Mo Lan's words, the chairman let out a long sigh and shook his head. "It's useless. The Golden Dragon King will not leave Shrek City."
"Why is that?" Qian Gu Dongfeng frowned deeply.
The chairman said slowly, "From what the Golden Dragon King said, we learned that he intends to attain the Divine King realm through slaughter.
"Across the entire continent, Shrek City undoubtedly has the greatest concentration of bloodshed and killing intent. Even though more than half of Shrek City's population was transferred away earlier, over a million people were still killed or injured.
"So, if what the Golden Dragon King said is true, then the best place for him to become a Divine King is undoubtedly Shrek Academy.
"For ordinary matters, he can simply send the Divine Dragon Legion to act. Not to mention anything else, even the Divine Dragon Legion is not something we can contend with now.
"Taking a step back, even if the Golden Dragon King personally pursues us, who would lure him away?
"The one luring him would at least need to be an Ultimate Douluo. Otherwise, they would probably be trampled to death by the Divine Dragon Legion before even seeing him.
"And how many Ultimate Douluos do we currently have?"
At those last words, Qian Gu Dongfeng's expression changed. "How can we deploy Ultimate Douluos? Ultimate Douluos are our final trump cards. How can they be sent out so casually?"
"Then Tower Master Qian Gu, please propose a solution that satisfies both sides." The chairman looked at him.
Qian Gu Dongfeng hesitated, then said something that shocked everyone. "Since that Golden Dragon King refuses to leave Shrek City, then we'll detonate Eternal Heaven in Shrek City! Blow him to death!"
"Are you insane, Qian Gu Dongfeng?" Yue Zhengyu said. "Do you know what you're saying?"
"What did I say?" Qian Gu Dongfeng replied. "Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.
"The city can be rebuilt if it is gone. But if your life is gone, do you have a second one?"
Once a life was gone, everything was gone.
It had to be said that Qian Gu Dongfeng's words made sense.
But once Eternal Heaven's upgraded power was unleashed, the entirety of Shrek City would be destroyed!
But Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect headquarters, the Spirit Pagoda headquarters—were these legacies that had stood for tens of thousands of years to be destroyed just like that?
"No." Xie Xie's breathing grew hurried. "Destroying Shrek Academy means destroying the Life Ancient Tree. The Life Ancient Tree is the life core of the Douluo Continent. If it is destroyed, the entire continent will be paralyzed."
At that moment, a voice entered the ears of everyone present. "Do not worry about me. I have some methods left behind by a Divine King.
"These trump cards can help me temporarily escape into the void and become immune to everything.
"Do whatever you need to do. Defeat the Golden Dragon King and rescue Tang Wulin."
It was the voice of the Life Ancient Tree! The Life Ancient Tree had means of self-preservation.
For a time, the conference room fell silent once more.
Shrek City's population had already been completely transferred away, and the Golden Dragon King was within it. By all logic, it truly was the best place to detonate it.
But...
Xie Xie closed his eyes. Everything from his dream was about to happen!
He had dreamed of Shrek Academy being blown apart. However, the scene in his dream had been blurry, and the Life Ancient Tree in that dream seemed to have been destroyed as well.
The Skycrosser Douluo's gaze flickered. He struggled intensely inside. Shrek Academy had been passed down for twenty thousand years, yet it was about to be destroyed in their generation. His heart felt as though it were being cut apart.
But he also understood that this was not the time for hesitation. A decision had to be made as soon as possible!
The Skycrosser Douluo took a deep breath. "In that case, we'll do it!"
"If Shrek's ancestors wish to condemn us, then I, Yun Ming, will bear all the sins and karma alone.
"Let Destruction illuminate humanity's darkest hour!"
Yun Ming's words made everyone tremble.
Cang Tianming unconsciously clenched his fists. Tears streamed down his aged face as he said, "Humanity will prevail!"
"Humanity will prevail!" Those simple four words made Yuanen Yehui and Ye Xinglan tremble.
Perhaps it was their desire for power, or perhaps it was the helplessness of this moment, but the shackles around them shattered with a bang.
Their Divine Tribulations began gathering in the sky.
They had broken through—broken through the limits of the human body. It was a transformation from Limit Douluo to Ultimate Douluo.
Once they successfully passed their tribulations, they would ascend to become gods!
The two immediately sat cross-legged and prepared for the coming Divine Tribulations.
The chairman bowed deeply toward the powerhouses of Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, and the Spirit Pagoda. "Everyone, on behalf of the hundreds of millions of citizens across the continent, I thank you for your sacrifice.
"Here, I promise that Shrek City will be rebuilt in the future!
"Shrek's glorious legacy has already become renowned throughout the world!
"You and I are both of the Tang Sect, born in an age of unrivaled brilliance!"
Shrek City had, at some unknown point, become filled with black-clothed figures. They were brimming with deathly aura, and black patterns were imprinted on each of their left hands.
"Haha, hahaha!" The black-clothed figures laughed. "The formation is about to break!"
