Before Lin Yang could speak, the Seven-Colored Divine Light stirred again, drawing Xiao Xiao's gaze.
Several shafts of Seven-Colored Divine Light rose within Shrek City. Each marked someone who had been chosen.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, who had only just clashed, were both selected.
Before they could react, two shafts of Seven-Colored Divine Light suddenly appeared and enveloped them.
In an instant, both felt light as feathers, as though they were floating among clouds. The pain left by their fight vanished once the Seven-Colored Divine Light enveloped them.
They looked around in wonder, somewhat bewildered, with only a vague sense that this probably wasn't a bad thing.
Of course, they weren't the only ones chosen in Shrek City. Someone Huo Yuhao knew very well had also been selected.
That person was Tang Ya.
Like all the other living beings, Bei Bei and Tang Ya had been drawn to the seven-colored radiance overhead, their eyes fixed on the sky. Only when the heavenly light enveloped Tang Ya did Bei Bei snap out of his trance and hurriedly seize her hand.
Bei Bei knew Tang Ya had been chosen to answer questions, but he dared not gamble on whether that space held danger, or whether answering incorrectly would mean being erased.
So he refused to let go, unwilling to let Tang Ya fall into the unknown.
Yet clearly, his efforts were useless. No matter how tightly he gripped Tang Ya's hand, he could change nothing.
The power of the Seven-Colored Divine Light was beyond his ability to resist. He could only watch Tang Ya disappear from his side with the light and emerge within that space.
There wasn't a trace of fear on Tang Ya's face. Instead, she brimmed with excitement, pulling free of Bei Bei's hand in midair as she spoke with longing written across her face.
"Bei Bei, don't worry about me. I've been chosen! This must be heaven's will. Heaven wants me to revive the Tang Sect and avenge my parents. I'll succeed. I know I will!"
Tang Ya recognized how extraordinary the Sky Screen was. She thought that if she could answer its questions correctly and receive a reward, she would surely have a chance to revive the Tang Sect and avenge her parents.
She refused to let this opportunity slip away!
It wasn't only Shrek City. Soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest had also been chosen.
This region was exceptionally unusual. The colored heavenly light appeared in the very heart of the Star Dou Great Forest, within the secret region Di Tian most wanted to protect.
One of those chosen was the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
At first, no living being appeared within the other seven-colored pillar of light, leading the ferocious beasts to wonder whether something had gone wrong with the Sky Screen.
Only Di Tian realized what was happening first. He stared deep beneath the earth in disbelief, as though some incredible being lay hidden there.
The first thing to appear within that pillar of light was a claw-an enormous claw of brilliant silver, densely covered in hexagonal silver scales.
Then the rest of the body slowly emerged. It was an immense dragon, silver from head to tail, whose body seemed to contain boundless power.
Every scale refracted a strange radiance. The tremendous sound of its beating wings carried an unparalleled, crushing pressure that drove every living being in the Star Dou Great Forest to its knees.
Yet even it had no power to resist the Seven-Colored Divine Light, slowly drifting skyward along with it.
Halfway up, the silver-white dragon quietly opened its eyes. They were clear and crystalline as amethysts, giving an impression of purity and unfathomable depth.
At the sight, Di Tian's heart trembled, and he murmured to himself.
"The Master has awakened..."
"The Master has awakened!"
Certain that he wasn't seeing an illusion, Di Tian shouted toward the silver dragon overhead, "Master, at last, I have lived to see your return!"
Only then did the white dragon seem to come to her senses. Realizing her predicament, she tried to leave.
She was proud and would not willingly suffer restraint. Yet clearly, the power contained within the Seven-Colored Divine Light exceeded her limits. Even she could not resist it.
They weren't the only ones chosen. Others included the Ice Empress of the Far North, as well as Ye Xishui and Zhongli Wu of the Holy Spirit Cult.
Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen of the Sun Moon Empire, along with Du Busi and Long Aotian of the Body Sect, were also among those selected.
Of course, it wasn't only these soul masters. Many ordinary people had been chosen as well.
Deep within the sea, another seven-colored pillar of light rose. Inside it was an incomparably enormous Deep Sea Demon Whale, covered in massive dark-blue scales that gleamed with an eerie light.
A savage, evil aura radiated from its body, containing the power of the ocean abyss and dark power.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale's eyes were filled with hatred that would not fade through the ages, as though only slaughter could bring even a sliver of peace.
It did not resist, calmly accepting the guidance of the seven-colored heavenly light, merely murmuring over and over.
"My husband, rest assured. I will kill that Sea God and avenge you."
Within Lin Yang's mind, the Sky Screen's voice rang out again.
[Question setter, please select a special respondent and establish rules for him.]
Hearing that voice, Lin Yang already had a plan in mind. After thinking for a few seconds, he immediately made his choice.
[Special respondent selected-Tang San.]
The Divine Realm.
Tang San and Xiao Wu let out soft exclamations of surprise, their brows furrowing slightly.
They had been watching Wang Dong to learn more about their daughter, but a flash of seven-colored light had completely obscured their view of the Douluo Continent.
"Brother San, what happened? Why does it feel as though the Douluo Continent slipped out of the Divine Realm's control in an instant?"
Tang San's brows knitted tightly. He had already sensed that something was wrong.
"I'll try contacting Da Ming and Er Ming."
With that, he closed his eyes and reached out with his senses. Less than half a minute later, he opened them again, his expression even graver.
Then a red light flashed across his body as he invoked the Asura God's divine power.
But the result remained the same.
"I can't reach them, even with Asura divine power. Something unexpected has happened on the Douluo Continent."
Hearing her Brother San's words, Xiao Wu immediately grew agitated.
"Brother San, Wutong is still on the Douluo Continent! What are we going to do if something really happens?"
"Don't worry. There's..."
Tang San reached out to comfort Xiao Wu, but before he could finish speaking, before his hand could touch her beautiful hair, he vanished.
"Lin Yang, what exactly do you think this Sky Screen is?"
After what had just happened, Xiao Xiao had completely abandoned her suspicions about Lin Yang.
After all, even a Limit Douluo would struggle to wield such power, let alone the person beside her.
Xiao Xiao knew perfectly well that a single Wind Baboon could put Lin Yang's life in danger.
"I don't know either, but it should be something good. Maybe we'll both get a chance to go up there."
Lin Yang was rather indifferent to answering questions on the Sky Screen. After all, he was now the question setter himself. If he really went up there to answer questions, how would that be any different from working against himself?
