Douluo: Twins of Fate

Chapter 383: Times have changed
The triumphant return of Jiang Shengyu and his group greatly inspired the newly formed Sun Moon Federation!

The Mingdu Imperial Palace was opened to all residents of the Sun Moon Federation, and the grand banquet drew everyone from the entire Douluo Continent into the celebration.

Almost all the people were incredibly shocked by this. They never imagined that one day they would actually be able to defeat the gods! The high and mighty gods did not seem to be as terrifying and invincible as they had imagined.

Meanwhile, the Soul Palace suddenly informed Jiang Shengyu and the others that Xuanzi, along with the remnants of Shrek Academy, had made contact with the Soul Palace, hoping to reopen Shrek Academy on the continent!
No matter what happened, Shrek Academy was still an extremely important name on the continent at this time!

Therefore, when Xuanzi and the others revealed their identities to the Venerable in charge of a branch hall of the Soul Palace, the Venerable did not delay at all and immediately reported the news, which was then delivered to Jiang Shengyu.

Jiang Shengyu had nothing else to do at the time, so she kindly received them.

This was Xuanzi's first time visiting Mingdu. When he saw the Mingdu urban cluster transformed into a steel forest by soul guidance technology, even though he had heard Mu En, Yan Shaozhe and others who had been there describe it many times, he was still shocked to see it with his own eyes this time.

"This is Mingdu..."

Xuanzi sighed, and couldn't help but think of Shrek City back then! Shrek City was once hailed as the most prosperous city among the three kingdoms of the Douluo Continent!

But now it seems they were just frogs in a well! Shrek City is far smaller than Mingdu! He didn't think so before, but now he has to admit it.

Xian Lin'er looked uneasy and asked in a low voice, "Elder Xuan, do you think they will agree?"

Xuanzi sighed and shook his head: "I don't know either."

Xian Lin'er pursed her lips. She noticed that Qian Duoduo's eyes were glued to the soul guidance devices next to them, and couldn't help but say, "Stop looking! We're not here for sightseeing! Don't forget our business!"

Qian Duoduo scratched his head and said, "I know! Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Xuanzi turned to look at them, sighed, and said, "This time, I only allowed you and Elder Zhuang to accompany me because I was worried that Shao Zhe and Elder Song's outspoken personalities would displease the Sun Moon Federation! You must be careful with your words and actions! Shrek Academy, no matter what, cannot be buried like this!"

"Yes, Elder Xuan!" Everyone nodded.

Led by staff members of the Soul Hall, they arrived at the Soul Hall headquarters.

The people who received them were also acquaintances: Du Bu Si and Tang Ya.

There was a time when neither the Body Sect nor the Tang Sect could stand before Shrek Academy. Even with Poison Undying's tough stance, the gap between the Body Sect and Shrek Academy couldn't be bridged by mere force.

But now, times have changed.

At this time, Du Busi and Tang Ya were permanent directors of the Soul Hall, and could dominate the Soul Masters of the entire continent. This was much more prestigious than their Shrek Academy.

Du Busi stood in front of the high gate, looking at Xuanzi and the others who had been brought before him, and sighed, "Xuanzi, it's been a long time. You look much older."

"Hiding here and there, homeless! Even this haggard appearance is already a good thing." Xuanzi sighed, looking at Du Busi, and added, "You, Du Busi, are glowing with health!"

"That's right." Poison Undying laughed. He had felt more than once how correct his decision had been! Of course, he subconsciously ignored the fact that he had been half-forced to join by Jiang Qingtong.

Seeing Du Bu Si's smile, Xuan Zi looked somewhat dejected. Tang Ya, standing to the side, calmly said, "Don't stand outside anymore. Your identities are special, and it's not appropriate for you to show your faces in public. Come in with us." Tang Ya's words were devoid of any emotion, as if they were just going through the motions.

Upon hearing Tang Ya's words, everyone looked embarrassed. Xian Lin'er quietly greeted Tang Ya, "Um, Xiao Ya—"

Tang Ya looked at Xian Lin'er, her brows furrowing slightly, and reminded her, "Please show some respect. I am Tang Ya, the sect leader of the Tang Clan! My title is Blue Silver. You may address me as Sect Leader Tang!"

After Tang Ya said those words, Xuan Zi and the others looked embarrassed. They looked at each other, unsure of how to respond.

In the end, Du Busi waved his hand and said to everyone, "Alright, alright. Let's not waste any more time here. Let's go inside and talk. Someone is already waiting for you."

Upon hearing this, Xian Lin'er hurriedly asked, "Is it Jiang Shengyu?"

When she said these words, the Soul Hall staff around her all turned to look at her. Although the Sun Moon Empire has now become the Sun Moon Federation and there is no emperor, everyone who mentions Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong must call them Holy Master.
How dare they call him by his first name?

After realizing she had said the wrong thing, Xianlin'er quickly covered her mouth, looking nervous.

Seeing her like this, Du Busi waved his hand helplessly and said, "Let's go!"

The group followed Du Busi and Tang Ya into the Soul Palace headquarters and came before Huo Yuhao.

"It's you!"

Upon seeing Huo Yuhao, Xuanzi and the others were somewhat surprised. Huo Yuhao, seeing their expressions, asked in return, "Who else did you think it was? My cousin? Sorry, he doesn't have time to personally receive you. Besides, you're not qualified."

Huo Yuhao's direct statement made the others look embarrassed.

Huo Yuhao continued, "Regarding your request to rebuild Shrek Academy, my cousin has agreed. Shrek Academy can be rebuilt on the original site, but an observer from the Soul Hall must be stationed there."

After he said that, Xuanzi and the others were all surprised and excited. He agreed to it just like that?
Seeing their expressions, Huo Yuhao then stated the conditions: "After the reconstruction of Shrek Academy, all teacher selections and teaching subjects must be approved by the Soul Hall. In addition, the Sea God Pavilion will no longer be established, and no information about the original Shrek Seven Devils may appear."

When Huo Yuhao stated this condition, Xuanzi and the others fell silent. Although they had been prepared for various conditions, this still surprised them.

Doesn't this extinguish Shrek Academy's past glory? Will Shrek Academy still be considered Shrek Academy in the future?
Xuanzi trembled slightly.

Du Busi watched Xuanzi from the side and advised, "Xuanzi, accept it. The world has changed! The Sea God is dead, and they are the rulers of the planes again."

Xuanzi glanced at Du Busi, and finally sighed, "Alright! Whatever the conditions, as long as it allows Shrek Academy to be rebuilt, we... will accept them!"

Seeing that Xuanzi and the others accepted the terms, Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, stood up and said, "I have other matters to attend to, so I won't chat with you any longer. Senior, you are acquaintances with each other, so please guide them to familiarize themselves with the Soul Palace during this period."

"Yes! Leave it to me." Poison Immortal nodded, reassuring Huo Yuhao.
