Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 590 Meeting Ah Yin
The Devil's Islands, as Shrek's designated military training ground, have nurtured many outstanding cadets for Shrek over thousands of years.

That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Shrek Academy also understands that Devil's Islands are related to gods, and even places their hopes of becoming gods on Devil's Islands.

After the realm of gods disappeared, everything related to the gods became incredibly precious, not to mention the Devil's Islands, which were themselves relics of the gods.

Shrek Academy sends its students there every few years, not only to have them learn from the Seven Demons.

They also held the thought that if someone could trigger the life or destruction energy, it was, after all, a relic of a god. If they obtained the inheritance within, it would be possible to become a god!
But now, the Devil's Islands are destroyed!

Despite thousands of years of exploration, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion know that the possibility of becoming a god through the Devil's Islands is now extremely slim.

But no matter how minuscule it is, it's still not zero!

Now, Shrek has completely lost his chance to become a god through the Devil's Island.

"Tianjuan, bring her to see me." A gentle voice suddenly rang out in Bedexun's spiritual sea.

Without even a moment's mourning for the passing of the Devil's Islands, the next person to arrive on the battlefield was Silver, the Seed of Life!

Bede Xun smiled bitterly to himself. Although he really wanted to go to Devil's Islands to find out what was going on, he dared not disobey the orders of the Golden Tree Elder.

Bede Xun looked at Qian Gu Huang Yu and said, "I already know about the Devil's Islands. Since you're here today, come with me to the Golden Ancient Tree."

Qian Gu Huang Yu raised an eyebrow. [They didn't even ask about the Devil's Islands? Were they pressured by Ah Yin?]

Originally, Qian Gu Huang Yu had prepared a set of excuses to deal with Bei Dexun, but unexpectedly, he didn't even ask.

"Come with me." With a wave of his hand, Bedell took the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feather and broke through space, leaving his office.

With a flash of light, Qian Gu Huang Yu began to survey the scenery before her. The first thing that caught her eye was a towering tree. This giant tree was so enormous that its canopy seemed to stretch to the horizon. Beneath the tree was a massive treehouse, seemingly existing entirely within it. Hanging above the treehouse was a plaque with three large characters on it.

Poseidon Pavilion!
Without a doubt, this is the very heart of Shrek Academy, and even Shrek City: the Sea God Pavilion! A place where only the elders of the Sea God Pavilion reside.

Qian Gu Huang Yu quietly activated the Undying Seal Technique, and she could sense that the life force here in the Sea God Pavilion was much stronger than that on Sea God Island.

"Isn't it true that he is the life core of the entire Douluo plane?" Qian Gu Huang Yu sneered in his heart.

Bedell explained, "This is the Sea God Pavilion, which was built around this great tree and is the core of the entire Shrek Academy."

"This big tree is called the Golden Tree. For 20,000 years, it has been protecting Shrek. Whenever Shrek faces a major crisis, it always protects us."

"And whenever outstanding talents emerge, they always bring us wisdom and point us in the right direction."

"The one who wants to see you, Elder Jin, is the spirit of this Golden Tree. Even we have no chance to see him. He is the true guardian of Shrek Academy."

Originally, Bedell didn't want to say so much to Qian Gu Huang Yu, but because Elder Jin told him that Qian Gu Huang Yu would stand on Shrek's side after today, Bedell gave a serious introduction.

After all, if the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather could stand on their side, it would be equivalent to the Spirit Pagoda standing on Shrek Academy's side!

When the Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, and Spirit Pagoda become united, even the Federation will have to reassess their strength.

After entering the Sea God Pavilion, Bedell took the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feather directly to a room underground in the Sea God Pavilion.

Bedell said, “All the rooms in the Sea God Pavilion are carved on the branches of the ancient golden tree. Elder Jin will meet you in this room.”

As he spoke, Bede Xun couldn't help but feel a little depressed. He, the dignified master of the Sea God Pavilion, didn't even have the opportunity to meet Elder Jin in person, while the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather, who came from the Spirit Pagoda, had this honor.

[Could she be the chosen one of this era?] Bedell couldn't help but think.

After entrusting the matter to Qian Gu Huang Yu, Bei De Xun left, and Qian Gu Huang Yu began to carefully examine the room.

Located within a golden ancient tree, the entire room is made of wood, but unlike ordinary trees, all the wood here is golden, and even the wooden furniture exudes a dazzling gold hue.

Before Qian Gu Huang Yu could wait long, the entire room began to shimmer with a dazzling golden light, accompanied by extremely pure life energy fluctuations.

In the very center of the room appeared a woman composed of golden particles.

The woman was wearing a white dress and appeared to be around thirty years old, with long, light blue hair cascading down her back.

Zhongling is so beautiful that it seems to be the center of the world, breathtakingly beautiful, making everything else pale in comparison.

The woman spoke softly, her voice possessing a soul-cleansing power that soothed and delighted the soul.
"Hello, child, I am the will of the Golden Tree, Elder Jin of Shrek Academy, and the life core of the Douluo plane."

Ah Yin didn't immediately tell Qian Gu Huang Yu that her true identity was Ah Yin, the mother of Tang San, the Sea God from 20,000 years ago, but she did tell her that she was the life core of the Douluo plane.

"You are the core of life?" Even though she already knew, Qian Gu Huang Yu still pretended to be surprised.

Ah Yin was very satisfied with Qian Gu Huang Yu's performance. "I am the real deal. I am the life core of this plane and the guardian of Shrek Academy."

Ah Yin's voice was gentle, but it contained a warning. Even the Life Core was on Shrek Academy's side. If you were to attack Shrek again, you would be being disrespectful.

"Moreover, besides me as the core of the plane, the plane master of the Douluo plane is also conscious, but he can't take action for some reason and can only protect Shrek Academy in secret."

Ah Yin dropped another bombshell: the Lord of the Plane is the strongest being in a plane, and even he helps Shrek Academy. Those who oppose Shrek Academy are like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Qian Gu Huang Yu cooperated perfectly, feigning shock and waiting for A Yin to continue.

Ah Yin said, "Child, you were actually chosen by me and the Lord of the Planes to be the chosen one of this era, but something unexpected happened and you were taken away by an evil god."

Needless to say, the evil god Ah Yin mentioned was naturally the Lord of the old plane.

"So, child, you should now be considered an emissary of that evil god, but you can still return to us."

Ah Yin's gaze towards Qian Gu Huang Yu was filled with affection, as if she were looking at her own child:
“Child, you were originally the chosen one of destiny selected by me and the Lord of the Planes, and you were to be admitted to Shrek Academy and become the new Lord of the Sea God Pavilion after the Heavenly Douluo.”

"But because of a damned evil god's interference, you were taken away from us. You were born into the sinful Spirit Tower and ended up standing on the opposite side of Shrek Academy."

"An evil god? Are there gods in the Douluo plane?" Although Qian Gu Huang Yu knew that the evil god referred to the old plane's ruler, she still pretended to be surprised. Ah Yin smiled gently and said, "Just a clown. She can't even condense a physical form like mine."

"Moreover, her power is negligible, and she has always been under the control of me and the plane lord. It won't be long before we can completely kill her."

"After all that talk, you still can't get it done?" Qian Gu Huang Yu thought disdainfully to herself, but she put on a thoughtful expression.

Ah Yin said, "Alright, although there were some unexpected events, it's not too late. Child, you can come back to us now, and we will give you what a true chosen one of destiny should have."

[What should a true chosen one possess? Isn't that just a dog leash?] Thinking of his cheap senior brother Huo Gua's experiences, Qian Gu Huang Yu felt a chill run down his spine.

"Then what do you need me to do?" Qian Gu Huang Yu asked hypocritically.

Ah Yin smiled slightly, thinking that Qian Gu Huang Yu had been persuaded by her, and said with a smile, "If you want to become the chosen one, you must first kill your past weak self."

"Leave the Spirit Pagoda, sever ties with the Ancient Clan and the Spirit Pagoda, and then join Shrek Academy. I will have the Heavenly Favor directly promote you to the position of Elder of the Sea God Pavilion."

"Once you have completed all of this, the Lord of the Planes and I will officially make you the chosen one of this era."

"But before that, let me give you some blessings first."

As she spoke, Ah Yin gathered energy, and a necklace woven from blue silver grass appeared in her hand.

“Come on, child, let me put this necklace around your neck,” Ah Yin said to Qian Gu Huang Yu with a smile.

[What necklace? Isn't this just a dog collar?] Qian Gu Huang Yu cursed inwardly.

A Yin and Tang Hao were unsure whether Qian Gu Huang Yu would betray the old master of the plane because of their words, so they wanted to put a dog leash on her, making her seem ominous.

"Xiaoyu, don't wear that thing. It will affect your mind and even your soul. Although its methods are crude, it is undoubtedly a god-level weapon of control."

Electrolux's voice suddenly rang out from the Sea of ​​Life.

[As expected, they had ulterior motives,] Qian Gu Huang Yu cursed inwardly. She looked at A Yin and said, "While I appreciate your and the Lord of the Plane's kindness, please forgive me for refusing."

"No matter what, severing ties with family is still too cruel."

Qian Gu Huang Yu didn't even know how Ah Yin could say such a thing. Who would turn against their family and friends just because of one sentence?
Ah Yin was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Qian Gu Huang Yu to refuse her. She quickly changed her mind and said, "We can discuss the terms again. Let's put on this necklace first."

As she spoke, Ah Yin strode forward, wanting to put the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather directly on her head.

Qian Gu Huang Yu looked at A Yin, a hint of coldness flashing in her wine-red pupils. "Although your suggestion is indeed very tempting, I refuse."

"Think about it again, that's the chosen one!" Ah Yin's expression even showed a hint of collapse.

"I've never felt happy being the chosen one," Qian Gu Huang Yu said calmly.

"You don't know what's good for you!" A deep voice suddenly rang out beside Qian Gu Huang Yu and A Yin.

"Ah Yin is willing to give you a chance to become the chosen one, yet you dare to refuse. You truly have a death wish!"

"Brother Hao, don't be impulsive!" Ah Yin quickly advised when she saw Tang Hao lose his composure first.

"Ah Yin, Tang Hao, are you the parents of Tang San, the Sea God?" Even though she already knew the truth, Qian Gu Huang Yu still pretended to be surprised in order to avoid Ah Yin and Tang Hao suspecting that she knew the plot.

Tang Hao laughed loudly and said, "You do have some insight. After Xiao San became a God King, you also helped me and A Yin become the plane master and life core of the Douluo plane, respectively."

"The evil god who chose you was my former ruler of this plane, but she has long been suppressed by us and is not far from her complete demise."

"Now I'm giving you another chance. Wear the necklace that Ah Yin made herself, then leave the Spirit Pagoda, and you can still become the Chosen One."

"And he is no longer the chosen one of the dying old ruler of the plane, but our chosen one!"

Come, let's embrace the light and the future!

Tang Hao became more and more excited as he spoke. In his view, there was no need to choose between following a plane lord who was about to die and following a plane lord with a god-king as his backer.

[I originally wanted to interact with you as an ordinary person, but instead I've been met with estrangement. Now you should understand the implications, right?] Tang Hao thought smugly.

"Heh," Qian Gu Huang Yu sneered, her eyes full of disdain as she looked at Tang Hao. "Following you means embracing the light and the future, not following you means courting death."

"Is this my fault, or have you already proclaimed yourself righteous and considered yourself divine?"

Tang Hao's pupils suddenly contracted. Twenty thousand years ago, someone had said the same thing.

...

"Tang Hao, you were born to be a chosen one of heaven, why did you seek your own death?"

Facing the encirclement led by the Pope of the Spirit Hall, Tang Hao gripped the Clear Sky Hammer tightly in one hand and held his newborn son in the other, uttering those words:
"Is it me, Tang Hao, defying the heavens, or is it your Spirit Hall that considers itself the heavens?"

...

Looking at the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather standing on the ground, Tang Hao was stunned for a moment. At that moment, just like now, except that he had changed from the oppressed to the oppressor.

The Clear Sky Hammer that Tang Hao threw back then eventually turned into a boomerang.

"Heh, what difference does it make?" Tang Hao sneered. "I've already given you a chance, but since you're so stubborn, you might as well die like your stray dog ​​master!"

With a loud shout from Tang Hao, a golden Haotian Hammer appeared out of thin air, radiating an extremely terrifying aura, and smashed towards Qian Gu Huang Yu with the force of a comet hitting the earth.

"Tang Hao, Tang Hao, you can't only think about fairness and justice when you lose. You're just thinking about yourself!"

Qian Gu Huang Yu scoffed, raising his right hand and pointing his fingertip at Tang Hao, while his left arm draped over his right:
"Dragon Scales, Reverse Hair, Pair of Meteors!"

The matter has been mostly resolved, and updates will resume as normal.
