A Conversation

In the distant void, there existed a hidden realm.

And at the deepest part of this hidden realm, several conversations took place.

"She's almost done for. Is there really no other way?" a pleasant female voice asked.

"This is something they must experience," a steady male voice said. "He and his evil thoughts are one and the same. He must completely break through his shackles and overcome those evil thoughts."

"And she must endure it on her own. This is the tribulation she is destined to face."

"You also know that even if they successfully overcome this tribulation, it will only be the beginning of inheriting our Divine Thrones."

"This cannot even be considered a test. If they cannot overcome it, what right do they have to inherit the Emperor God thrones of the Ancestral Dragon God and the Ying Dragon God?"

The pleasant female voice replied, "But time is already running out."

"This era has already lasted one hundred and twenty-nine thousand years. Only six hundred years remain. How can they possibly take our places?"

The male voice fell silent for a moment. "Whether or not they inherit our Divine Thrones, six hundred years from now, I will personally venture into the void beyond the realm and investigate."

"Why did a distress signal come from beyond the realm? Why was everything from before twenty-two eras ago wiped away? Before Pangu created heaven and earth, what exactly happened?"

"I believe some of our predecessors are still alive, still fighting in the void above, waiting for our support."

"In this six-dimensional universe, only you and I have taken that step. Therefore, only we can receive that distress signal."

"This further proves my conjecture. Among the ten Divine Stars, there must still be a creation progenitor alive in that void above."

The pleasant female voice slowly said, "But once we leave, if the barrier shatters and the terror beyond the realm descends, what then?"

"Isn't that one of the reasons we made Dragon God Star withdraw from the world?" the male voice replied. "I'll say it again: if those two can truly inherit our Emperor thrones and unite the various Divine Stars, perhaps they may be able to evade that prophecy."

"After all, the Frost Emperor and Ancient Emperor of the Sacred Realm are both supreme experts of this universe. There may yet be hope."

The female voice slowly said, "Legend says that when all the planets align after twenty-two eras, an eternal void will begin."

"The barrier will shatter, terror will descend, all living beings will perish, and every universe will be destroyed. No life will survive."

"And the first step of the prophecy is..."

Douluo Star, Shrek City.

"This formation is truly profound," Dark Blood Demon said. "Even breaking it from the outside will take quite some time. It is indeed a top-tier formation of the Dragon Clan."

"If the energy of these Nine Dragon Kings were not insufficient, limiting the formation to only one percent of its peak power, even trapping the Golden Dragon King for thousands of years would not be a problem."

"What's the point of saying that?" Ghost Emperor said. "How much longer do we need to break the formation?"

Dark Blood Demon said, "With the combined strength of the few of us, we will break the formation very soon."

"Oh my," Dark Bell said with a smile. "Doesn't that make us sinners of this world?"

"But I like being a villain."

"Level One Alert! Level One Alert! Shrek City's Nine Heavens Dragon-Locking Formation is being damaged."

Hearing the alarm, everyone rose to their feet almost simultaneously.

Soon, footage from the front lines was transmitted over.

"It's the Holy Spirit Church!" Seeing the people in the footage, Xie Xie could not help clenching his fists.

"The Holy Spirit Church has actually appeared at such a critical moment!" Ya Li's expression was grim.

"The fusion of Eternal Heaven and Starfall has not been completed. The Nine Heavens Dragon-Locking Formation cannot be broken," Skycrosser Douluo said. "Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect, heed my command. Head to Shrek City immediately and stop the Holy Spirit Church from destroying the formation!"

"Time is of the essence. I'll go on ahead."

As he spoke, Yun Ming instantly vanished from where he stood.

Yue Zhengyu slowly said, "Let's go as well. Yuanen and Xinglan will remain here and complete their tribulation."

Ye Xinglan and Yuanen Yehui nodded.

Indeed, as long as they successfully overcame their tribulations, their side would gain two more Ultimate Douluos, giving them a few more chances on the battlefield.

"Xinglan and Yuanen are in your care," Yue Zhengyu said to the council chairman.

"Rest assured," the council chairman said. "I will personally protect them during their tribulations."

Yue Zhengyu nodded, then instantly vanished along with Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, and Xu Lizhi.

The other powerhouses of Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect vanished with them as well.

Meanwhile, Qian Gu Dongfeng's eyes flickered as he wondered about something.
