The god behind Shrek?
After a long silence, Turbid World looked up and glanced at the crowd looking at him, finally settling on Xiong Jun's burning gaze, feeling immense pressure.
He looked conflicted, his gaze shifting between Long Bing and the disciple who had vouched for him. Realizing he had already let something slip, he still managed to say a few words.
Let's just consider it paving the way for Chang Kong's future; after all, some things are the same whether you know them or not.
"You believe that with the disappearance of the Divine Realm, Shrek Academy has lost influence in the Federation, lost the support of the people, and its investment in the Star Luo Empire has gone bankrupt, so now is the weakest it has ever been, right?"
Upon hearing this, some people around looked rather uneasy.
These are indeed Shrek's strengths. If they still existed—how could Shrek Academy be destroyed?
Even if it were to be eliminated despite the pressure, it would still leave behind huge hidden dangers.
Beside Huo Yuhao, Gu Yuena glanced at Huo Yuhao, feeling a similar sense of emotion.
This is still the weakened Shrek under his influence. If the Spirit Pagoda hadn't been built back then— the Federation could just give up now when facing Shrek.
"You're right, Shrek is at its weakest point ever, except before its rise to power."
Turbid World's admission of this caused Shadow Bee's eye to twitch.
Four Limit Douluo and dozens of Titled Douluo —yet this was the weakest period in history?
It truly is Versailles.
A turning point arrived in this Turbid World, "But Shrek's greatest advantage did not disappear."
What is Shrek's most troublesome aspect for the Federation?
It's not about Shrek graduates, nor about Shrek's apparent strength, but rather that Shrek is the only place in the Federation that has a clear and deep connection with the gods and is protected by many deities.
The original Shrek Seven Monsters, Butterfly God ----
When the world underwent a cataclysmic change, some Divine Realm artifacts fell into the Douluo Continent, granting many forces new trump cards. As the force with the most contact with gods, how many trump cards does Shrek possess?
No one in the Federation knows exactly how much those gods left for Shrek, which is what the Federation fears most about Shrek.
One of the War Gods said dismissively, "The biggest trump card is nothing more than Divine Tool. It's not like the Federation doesn't have any. Unless Shrek still has True God, otherwise—"
Turbid World glanced at the God of War who had spoken, but remained silent. However, this attitude made many people's hearts sink.
Could it be that Shrek has True God- level being or a backup plan?
Xiong Jun's eyelids twitched, and he subconsciously looked at Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena.
If there is True God, then this is really difficult to handle.
Even if all the Quasi-God of the Federation joined forces and could fight True God, a True God, unless he's stupid, could also play guerrilla warfare and find an opportunity to wipe out all the Federation's powerful figures.
After all, the powerful members of the Federation can't stay united forever, can they?
In a one-on-one situation, there are probably only these two people in the Federation who can deal with True God.
When Xiong Jun's gaze fell on Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena's faces, he noticed that their expressions had not changed, and he was immediately relieved.
It seems that Ling Bing and the Master have methods to deal with the True God.
Very good, you've gained confidence.
Unlike Xiong Jun, whose confidence rested entirely on Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena, the Federation's powerful figures did not look too pleased when they learned that there was still a god behind the Shrek Academy.
How come Shrek Academy has such a strong foundation?
However, this also explains why Shrek had the confidence to do those things.
With God's backing, one can indeed be arrogant.
Some people even associated the god only with the Spirit Hall.
That time and that moment, just like this moment.
Both being backed by deities, the Spirit Hall has always had the legacy of the Angel God, and later even produced the Rakshasa God.
The original Shrek Seven Monsters of Shrek were all gods, and there was also a Butterfly God Ten Thousand Years Ago.
Back then, destroying the Spirit Hall required facing two deities. Now that they want to make Shrek Academy a thing of the past, it seems they will have to face the True God as well.
"The world truly is a giant Reincarnation."
Some people sighed inwardly.
But now that the Divine Realm has disappeared, where can they find gods to help them?
While the Federation's powerful figures pondered how to confront a god, Gu Yuena transmitted her voice to Huo Yuhao, asking, "Yuhao, do you think the god associated with the Shrek Academy is the Divine Consciousness left behind by a god severely injured in the Divine Realm War, or one of the other two possibilities?"
With her knowledge, she quickly came up with three scenarios in the Douluo Continent where God Rank strength could be unleashed.
Firstly, by concealing the secrets of heaven and defying the will of heaven, one can create an environment unaffected by different planes to become a god. (Similar to the Demon Empress's breakthrough to True God in the original work.)
Secondly, gods who possess Divine Position descend to the mortal realm because these Divine Position originate from the Divine Realm. The Douluo Plane cannot suppress the possessor from unleashing God Rank power, nor will it suppress them. Just like the Sea God, Angel God, and Rakshasa God from 20,000 years ago, who ignored the suppression of the plane.
However, it is generally unlikely that a deity will descend to the mortal realm, because there are rules in the Divine Realm that deities cannot interfere with the mortal realm. If a deity wants to live in the mortal realm for a long time, it is certain that the Divine Realm will temporarily take back its Divine Position.
However, those gods who were severely injured in the war of the Divine Realm might not care about this rule. Who cares about such a rule when they're about to die? Running away is the priority.
In Gu Yuena's view, the god of the Holy Spirit Cult should belong to this category.
Thirdly, by leveraging the power of a plane, beings such as Plane Master or plane Life Core can reach God Rank through the empowerment of plane power.
There are only a few possibilities if Shrek has a god behind him.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment and said, "It should be the power of a plane. As for the divine Divine Consciousness of the deities who carry Divine Position —the deities on the Holy Spirit Cult haven't recovered yet. Even if there are such beings within Shrek Academy, it's impossible for them to return to their peak."
"Furthermore, Shrek is so quiet right now. If they were gods who could move freely, Shrek wouldn't be acting this way; they would have already started negotiating with the Federation. This shows that the gods behind them are restricted in their actions and have nothing to do with gods who hold Divine Position."
In fact, he already knew who they were.
After all, at this time, there were only four God Rank beings associated with Tang San. Although each had their own limitations, the original work mentioned that as long as the conditions were met, they could all unleash God Rank power.
Shadow Bee was one of the more composed people, and she thought of similar points as Huo Yuhao.
"Is Shrek's god unable to move around easily?"
His voice carried its usual calm and analytical tone.
"If Shrek truly had a god capable of free movement and strong enough to intimidate the Federation, you wouldn't need to be trapped in this isolated city, nor would you need to wait until now. You could have already used this power to engage in equal dialogue with the Federation."
But the truth is, you chose the most passive defensive stance. This can only mean that the divine protection you receive has significant limitations—either it cannot be easily used, or it is not the living divine being itself.
Turbid World, facing the scrutinizing gaze of Shadow Bee, said nothing more.
Seeing this, Shadow Bee raised an eyebrow. "If you don't want to talk about this, then I'll ask another question. Since Shrek has the confidence to face the Federation, what are your internal thoughts?"
Given the unexpected occurrence of a god, Shrek's current thinking is definitely not just a simple act of putting up a last-ditch effort.
The Turbid World closed its eyes, its tone Youyou.
"Some wanted to resist to the end, some understood that Shrek was decaying and wanted to quietly perish with it, some wanted to accept the Federation's proposal, and some even wanted to leave the Federation, preserve the Core Flame, and start anew."
"Such different ideas."
Shadow Bee snorted coldly, "And what about your True God? Isn't it his thoughts that have caused your silence all this time?"
Since Huo Yuhao and the others arrived, Wu Zhangkong, who had remained silent, suddenly looked up at his teacher, his brows furrowed.
He thought of the several phone calls he had had with his teacher before.
That would only happen if there were problems within Shrek Academy.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the True God that the Grand Secretaries, each with their own ideas, have been unable to implement their plans, and it has been delayed until now.
Turbid World looked in Shrek's direction with a complicated expression.
"They want Shrek to continue, even if it means leaving the Federation, so they can work together to carry out the Ten Thousand Year Plan set forth by the Sea God!"
