Ch. 27Shrek Academies Assemble, Spanning Four Eras

Lin Yuan kept Xiao Wu captive and prepared the Divine Examination while Tang San’s rampage nearly destabilized the Divine Realm. When Lin Yuan tried to target Shrek Academy, countless Shrek-named schools—and three separate Shrek Academies across parallel worlds—caused the examination to stall.

  • Lin Yuan told Xiao Wu that Tang San had sacrificed her and kept her captive, then promised to consider bringing her children to her if she proved sincere.
  • Tang San returned to the Divine Realm in a frenzy, and Dai Yuhao sacrificed half of his Emotion God position to stabilize the God Realm Center.
  • Lin Yuan discovered he could drain god positions as well as Divine Power and planned to strip away more of Dai Yuhao’s and the other gods’ power.
  • After two hours, Lin Yuan fully charged the Divine Examination, though a month had passed on the Douluo Continent.

Ch. 28The Divine Examination Begins—Whoa, There's Another Powerhouse

Lin Yuan launched the Dragon God's Ten Trials across six Planes, turning Ultimate Douluo into a monthly boss challenge while Shrek teachers and students across the other worlds received examinations. He returned his soul to a body he had secretly sent to Douluo Continent, woke as a dean, and discovered that fragments of another soul had lived in the body for twelve years.

  • Lin Yuan decided to let Shrek Academies from multiple worlds enter the Divine Examination, with their academies competing to become the one true Shrek.

  • Lin Yuan sent his soul into a body he had created and secretly returned to Douluo Continent, where a middle-aged man called him Dean.

Ch. 29Yu Xiaogang: I'll destroy the Dragon God at any cost

Lin Yuan learned that a transmigrator had used a summoning system to gather powerful figures from across the Douluo worlds in Myriad Realms Shrek Academy before dying and leaving them all in Lin Yuan’s care. At the academy meeting, he learned that several newcomers had received no Divine Examination, and Gangzi vowed to destroy the Dragon God.

Yu Xiaogang warned that the examination was a lethal contest with few winners, leaving him deeply worried about the Shrek Six Devils’ chances of survival.

  • Qian Renxue said she would enter the Divine Examination and compete to become the Supreme Dragon God, while Yu Xiaogang argued that innate Soul Power could exceed rank ten.
  • The Shrek Six Devils said they wanted to become gods, and Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin said they likely could not qualify.
  • Yu Xiaogang warned that only a small number of candidates would survive the examination and suspected the Dragon God meant to slaughter people from Shrek across parallel worlds.
  • Yu Xiaogang said the candidates would have to complete their examinations, evade hunters, and survive the Elimination Tournament, and admitted he could see no clear path to victory for the Shrek Six Devils.

Ch. 31Gangzi: Raiding the Supply Lines Is a Brilliant Strategy

Lin Yuan planned to rebuild the Divine Realm and send Gangzi to Shrek Academy, where he could use his status and resources to cause trouble. Gangzi agreed to go, believing he could prove himself by raising a group of gods.
