Not long after.
Deep within the Shrek Academy's library, the continuous sound of pages turning had been echoing for a long time.
Even from the sound alone, one could tell that the person turning the pages was quite agitated.
"How dare you, Tang San!" Dugu Bo roared angrily.
Since only he and Qian Daoliu were here, there was no need to worry about being spied on by others.
Previously, he and Qian Daoliu had already met the person in charge of Shrek Academy, Dragon God Douluo Mu En, whom Lin Mo had mentioned.
Dugu Bo successfully obtained the Dragon Core, which Mu En considered as vital as his lifeblood, from Mu En's hands.
Incidentally, I also met Huo Yuhao, Lin Mo's newly accepted disciple, here.
However, Dugu Bo still had some doubts in his heart, and he didn't quite understand why Lin Mo would take such a young fellow as a disciple.
" Old Poison, what's wrong with you now?" Qian Daoliu's voice rang out from the side.
"See for yourself." Dugu Bo's voice was sullen as he tossed the book he was reading to Qian Daoliu beside him.
Qian Daoliu caught the book steadily, his gaze sweeping over it before he quickly spotted the passage that had driven Dugu Bo mad:
" Tang San's ancestor used his supreme divine power to create a medicinal garden, which he named the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
Seeing this, Qian Daoliu's lips twitched, and he finally understood the source of Dugu Bo's Rage.
Tang San and his companions all became gods, which was undoubtedly inseparable from the gifts from Dugu Bo.
They consumed the Immortal Herb from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which enabled them to achieve a leap in their talents and accomplish the feat of ascending together to the Divine Realm.
Unexpectedly, in the records kept by their descendants, Dugu Bo, the true master of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, did not even leave behind a name.
This is the real reason for Dugu Bo's Rage.
Soon, Qian Daoliu the letter in his hand, slowly walked to Dugu Bo's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said:
" Old Poison, ten thousand years have passed. History is written by the victors, the victors are kings. This is something we should have expected long ago, so take it easy..."
After a long silence, Dugu Bo roared again, "Bullshit! Tang San's eventual ascension to godhood and his smooth cultivation were entirely due to my efforts!"
"I've been blind in this world, actually betting everything on Tang San."
" Tang San truly lives up to his reputation as an ingrate. He completely plundered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and not only that, he didn't even leave Yanyan Yanyan single Immortal Herb, let alone take her with him to ascend to the Divine Realm."
At this point, Dugu Bo's tone became increasingly agitated, and he pointed to himself:
As for me?
The only information recorded above that relates to me is that I was the murderer who massacred a city ten thousand years ago, and is despised by later generations...
At this point, Dugu Bo was almost laughing out of anger.
He used the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison to slaughter low-level Soul Master.
He did it, so he'll naturally admit it.
But afterwards, they shifted all the blame onto him; they really know how to use someone and then discard them.
Was he bored and went on a rampage, slaughtering low-level Soul Master?
Even a fool could guess the reason behind it; it was probably because of the war with the Spirit Hall that Tang San needed an executioner like him to slaughter the Spirit Hall's forces.
Dugu Bo took a deep breath, but he couldn't suppress the surging anger in his chest.
He considered himself not a good person, but being so thoroughly used and then kicked aside, and even smeared with dirt, made him feel quite aggrieved.
Soon, Dugu Bo suppressed his Rage and began to peruse other books again.
Meanwhile, Qian Daoliu also picked up the book he had been holding and began to examine it carefully.
Qian Daoliu looked at the last line of text and couldn't help but speak:
"In the final Battle of the Two Gods, the Rakshasa God Bibi Dong perished at Jiayu Pass, while the God of Angels Qian Renxue voluntarily shattered her Godhood. Although she survived by chance, she was subsequently reduced to an ordinary person."
There was no further trace of them; they are suspected to have perished.
Thus, the Spirit Hall Empire was destroyed, and in the name of the Sea God, peace was restored to the continent.
Seeing this, Qian Daoliu sighed again.
Her Godhood shattered, reduced to an ordinary person, and stripped of all protection, what will Xiao Xue encounter in this world filled with hostility towards her...?
Need I say more?
Sure enough, even the situation recorded in the classic texts was almost exactly the same as what Xiao Mo had told him back then.
A short while later, Dugu Bo snorted coldly and slammed the book shut, "Let's go. If we keep reading, I'm really worried I'll lose my temper and tear this place down!"
" Tang San, very good, Tang San!"
"I hope you live a long time and don't get killed by Xiao Mo so easily!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu smiled helplessly and left with Dugu Bo.
Not long after, in the underground space of the Golden Tree.
Lin Mo was sitting cross-legged here, surrounded by various colors of Soul Power light.
Lin Mo opened his eyes as Dugu Bo and Qian Daoliu stepped into this space.
"Well? Did you two grandfathers get the information you wanted from the Shrek Academy?" Lin Mo asked.
Lin Mo's gaze swept over Dugu Bo and Qian Daoliu.
When he saw Dugu Bo's face, as black as the bottom of a pot, he already knew the answer.
"That's it," Dugu Bo said, his tone extremely frustrated.
"Although the classics have been embellished, we can still glimpse some of the truth of history from them." Qian Daoliu nodded.
Hearing this, an awkward expression appeared on Lin Mo's face. He could somewhat understand Dugu Bo's frustration at this moment.
Dugu Bo in this world can truly be considered a "hellish investor"...
He invested a lot in Tang San, that ungrateful wretch, and helped him a great deal, but unfortunately, he didn't have a happy ending in the end.
Soon, Lin Mo's gaze swept over Dugu Bo, a golden light flashing in his eyes. "Grandpa, it seems your other operations went quite smoothly. That old fellow Mu En even gave you the Dragon Core directly."
Hearing this, a hint of joy finally appeared on Dugu Bo's face. "Well, the old man was quite reluctant at first, but after I brought you out, he handed over this Dragon Core that he regarded as his lifeblood."
"But I really didn't expect that Mu En's good fortune would be so profound that he could even get his hands on such a rare thing as the Dragon Core..." Dugu Bo clicked his tongue, his tone filled with emotion.
"Profound? That's hardly it." Lin Mo shook his head with a smile.
If Mu En's fortune was truly profound, he wouldn't have been harmed by the malevolent energy hidden within the Dragon Core, which led to his current state.
He will be paralyzed and will never be able to stand up again in his lifetime.
"But how do you eat this thing?" Dugu Bo asked, taking out the Dragon Core from his robes.
This is a pearl as white as jade. Even without absorbing it, Dugu Bo could feel the immense power contained within it.
Dugu Bo licked his lips, a burning light flashing in his eyes.
Judging from his own Martial Soul's thirst for it, this thing is definitely a great tonic for his current Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul.
Upon seeing this, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but speak up. He looked down at Lin Mo and said, " Xiao Mo, let that old Old Poison stay here for now."
It will probably take him quite a while to absorb the Dragon Core; I need to go to Jialing Pass first.
At this point, Qian Daoliu's tone suddenly became somewhat melancholic. "If there are any traces of Xue'er left in this world, they can only be found at Jialing Pass."
"Um."
Lin Mo nodded and slowly said, "Okay, but Grandpa Qian, before you go, let me leave a protective spell on you first."
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, a look of doubt appeared on Qian Daoliu's face.
Immediately, Lin Mo flicked his finger, and a stream of nine-colored Soul Power entered Qian Daoliu's brow, entered his body, and suddenly disappeared.
Qian Daoliu subconsciously raised his hand to touch his forehead, but did not sense anything unusual.
After doing all this, Lin Mo explained, "This is a divine thought I left behind, which can help Grandpa Qian isolate you from other people's prying eyes."
Especially the Divine Realm of this world, unless you directly intrude into a divine arena like the Angel Temple or the Sea God Island, they will be unable to detect your existence.
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu sensed his own condition and nodded after a moment.
Seeing that Qian Daoliu unharmed, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
He did this as a precaution, to prevent Sea God Tang San of this world, from Frisk Qian Daoliu's whereabouts.
Let Qian Daoliu travel across the continent, eliminating Evil Soul Master, and leave him some protective measures to prevent future troubles.
Soon, a silver light suddenly shone around Qian Daoliu Qian Daoliu, enveloping his entire body.
The next second, Qian Daoliu's figure disappeared from the spot.
Having arrived in the outside world, Qian Daoliu quickly found his way by combining the map he had found in the library.
With a faint six-winged phantom appearing behind it, it sped off at an extremely fast speed towards the direction of Jialing Pass.
"Hey Xiao Mo, how exactly are we supposed to eat this?" Dugu Bo swallowed hard, a bad feeling suddenly rising in his heart.
Lin Mo smiled, stood up and came to Dugu Bo's side, raising his hand to strike Dugu Bo's crown with a palm.
This palm strike came without warning, and its speed was so fast that Dugu Bo had no time to react.
He only saw Lin Mo's palm rapidly enlarging in front of him, and then he felt a terrifying force pouring into his body through the top of his head.
Lin Mo's sudden attack startled Dugu Bo, who instinctively mobilized his Soul Power to resist.
Dugu Bo's Level 99 Soul Power erupted with a roar, and the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul appeared as a huge phantom behind him.
Emerald green light erupted from his body, attempting to resist Lin Mo's invading power.
Under Lin Mo's divine power, Dugu Bo's Soul Power poured out like a flood, rapidly depleting his spiritual power, which was also consumed at the same time.
Under Lin Mo's deliberate guidance, Dugu Bo was unable to give up resisting, even if he wanted to.
His Soul Power and spiritual power were being consumed rapidly. The rotation speed of the two Soul Core in his body had reached its limit, but the recovery speed still could not keep up with the consumption speed.
As his power rapidly diminished, Dugu Bo's consciousness began to blur, and he started seeing double images.
Before long, seeing Dugu Bo unconscious, all his strength exhausted, and in a state of absolute weakness, Lin Mo's face showed a hint of apology, and he thought to himself:
"I'm sorry, Grandpa, I'll explain when you wake up."
Soon, Lin Mo reached out and Lin Mo the Dragon Core that was floating to the side, then fed it to Dugu Bo.
The pure white Dragon Core fell into Dugu Bo's mouth, turning into a warm liquid that slid down his throat.
Lin Mo raised his hand and gently patted Dugu Bo's chest to help the medicinal effects dissipate.
Dugu Bo, who was in a coma, felt as if his Soul Power had been completely drained, and the exhaustion of his mental energy caused him to have a splitting headache.
Just as his consciousness was about to sink into chaos, with the support of the Dragon Core's power, the Dragon Core's boundless dragon energy quickly rushed along every meridian in his body, filling every gap.
Lin Mo stood to the side, watching Dugu Bo's physical changes closely.
The power of the Dragon Core was rapidly merging into Dugu Bo's body, becoming one with him.
If the conditions for taking the Dragon Core weren't so stringent, requiring the user to be in an extremely weak state, Lin Mo wouldn't have needed to resort to this tactic at all.
However, this Dragon Core was indeed very beneficial to Dugu Bo.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo looked at Dugu Bo, who was sitting cross-legged and in a meditative state, and the faint phantom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor behind him.
The illusory image of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor slowly solidified, and its nine serpent heads simultaneously roared to the sky, emitting a silent hiss.
After absorbing and refining the inner core of the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent, Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul underwent a significant mutation.
After his cultivation reached the Level 99 Limit Douluo, this mutation also reached its peak, and the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor directly cultivated nine serpent heads.
Now, with the help of this Dragon Core that is extremely compatible with his Martial Soul, Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul Origin will be greatly enhanced once again.
After Dugu Bo awakens this time, his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul should be called Jade Phosphor; Xiangliu would be more appropriate!
After doing all this, Lin Mo withdrew his gaze and focused his attention on the two Ah Yin.
They resumed their secret operation to replace Tang San's mother.
Not long after, in the Far North.
Snow Empress looked helplessly at Ice Empress behind her, then accelerated and left her behind.
The relentless pursuit behind her gradually widened the distance and eventually disappeared completely from her perception.
She has successfully retrieved the batch of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow from the Earth Dragon Sect Secret Realm, and left enough ice marrow for the Ice Empress and the others to break through their bottlenecks and advance their cultivation further.
She put the rest away.
She did want to stay in the Far North for a while longer, but Bing'er's gaze towards her became increasingly strange and unrestrained.
Snow Empress was very worried that if she stayed any longer, Bing'er in this world might not be able to resist using some underhanded methods against her...
Soon, after roughly determining the location of Star Luo City, Snow Empress rushed towards it.
" The Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife and Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo..."
Snow Empress sighed softly, "I really want to know which unlucky soul got locked up here... who knows, maybe it's someone we know."
At this point, a mischievous smile appeared on Snow Empress's stunningly beautiful face.
