Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night.

Chapter 517 Tang Wulin's Confusion, The Struggle for Xuanwu Gate!

"Yueyue, you have to believe me!"

Chen Xinjie continued, still looking at Long Yeyue.

"You're a married man, how can I trust you?" Long Yeyue scoffed.

"Back then, I only married her out of necessity. If you're willing, Yueyue, I have no problem divorcing her."

Chen Xinjie assured him.

"Then demonstrate to me the function of the Vast Universe Crystal," Long Yeyue said meaningfully.

"it is good!"

Chen Xinjie agreed without hesitation, and then took out the Vast Ocean Universe Crystal from his arms and poured his vast soul power into it.

"Buzz!"

With a buzzing sound, blue ripples spread across the Vast Ocean Universe Crystal. Then, a surge of energy flowed into Chen Xinjie's body, and his aura gradually rose.

"This...this is actually real..."

Upon witnessing this scene, Long Yeyue was instantly speechless with shock.

But soon Long Yeyue noticed something was wrong; she saw a hint of indifference in Chen Xinjie's eyes.

You should know that in the past, Chen Xinjie would never have dared to treat him like this.

"This Vast Ocean Universe Crystal is said to have been passed down from the Sea God Tang San, could there be something strange about it?" Long Yeyue murmured to herself.

But she didn't say it at that moment.

Chen Xinjie clenched his fists, feeling the surging energy within him, and excitedly asked, "Yueyue, how is it? Didn't I tell you I wasn't lying?"

On his way back to Shrek Academy, he studied the connection between the Vast Ocean Crystal and himself.

Sure enough, he found it by accident.

As long as his martial soul essence is injected into the Vast Ocean Universe Crystal, a connection can be established between him and the Vast Ocean Universe Crystal, allowing that energy to flow into his body.

"Alright, I believe you." Long Yeyue nodded slightly, but a strange glint flashed imperceptibly in her eyes.

Having had her Martial Soul Origin devoured several times, Long Yeyue could clearly sense that Chen Xinjie was indeed able to activate the energy within the Vast Universe Crystal after injecting his Martial Soul Origin into it.

And each time the energy within is activated, that energy strengthens Chen Xinjie from its source, but at the same time, it also leaves behind a trace of something extra...

That tiny bit of something actually made her, a Limit Douluo, feel a tremor in her soul.

"What would happen if the Martial Soul Origin, which is the most fundamental thing for a Soul Master, were to go wrong or be controlled by someone else..." Long Yeyue pondered silently.

But Chen Xinjie was still immersed in the pleasure of gaining power and didn't notice anything amiss. He spoke to Long Yeyue in an extremely solemn tone:

"Yueyue, believe me, I will definitely break through to the God level as soon as possible and take back everything we have lost!"

"Hmm," Long Yeyue replied casually, but her mind was racing.

The voice from within the Vast Ocean Crystal rang out once more.

"Breaking through to the God level is good, it would be best to break through to the God level as soon as possible..."

"At that time, I, the God-King, will give you the memories, divine power, and wisdom of this divine consciousness to help you break through..."

……

Shrek Academy, training room.

After losing his Eternal Heaven, Tang Wulin and several others returned to Shrek Academy.

At this moment, a rare look of confusion appeared in Tang Wulin's eyes.

He didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong.

They were partly to blame for losing the God-Slaying Eternal Heaven this time.

This Eternal Heaven was something the Federation had painstakingly built over a thousand years; it was the common property of all its people, the last line of defense against the Abyss Plane. And yet, he just lost it…

"Did I really do the right thing? Is it worth doing something like this for the sake of the academy?"

Tang Wulin looked at his hands, his eyes filled with confusion.

His father, Tang Ziran, had clearly not taught him this way since childhood.

Should he really disregard the well-being of the entire Federation for the sake of the academy's revitalization?

"Squeak!"

Just then, the door to the cultivation room opened, and Wu Changkong walked in from outside.

"Wu Lin, what are you thinking about?" Wu Changkong asked softly as he approached Tang Wu Lin.

"Teacher, I'm wondering if we really should have tried to seize the Eternal Heaven for the sake of the academy? And now the Eternal Heaven has been lost..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Changkong's eyes flickered slightly, and he slowly said, "Wu Lin, do you still remember what your teacher said to you back then?"

"If you meet someone you love, it's like using a hammer in your left hand to protect the grass in your right."

But if you encounter a force that treats you well, you should reciprocate in kind.

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin nodded as if he understood.

However, after entering Shrek Academy, he didn't seem to receive any particularly good resources.

Some of the resources he even obtained were from missions he did at the Tang Sect's Soul Fighting Hall, and then Shrek Academy was bombed...

Is Shrek Academy's approach to this a good thing for him?

Tang Wulin shook his head slightly and asked curiously, "Then what motivates you now, teacher?"

"Find Jiang Xiu to avenge your master!" Wu Changkong said with a sharp look in his eyes.

He still held the same idea: unless Jiang Xiu could resurrect his master Zhuoshi, he would definitely avenge this grudge!
"Then where should my path lie?"

Tang Wulin pondered for a moment, thinking of many things, including the senior he met at Donghai Academy, the companions who had accompanied him along the way, and even the long-lost Old Tang.

But his thoughts drifted back to his cozy home in that small city, where his parents have yet to be found.

……

late at night.

Under the control of the Eternal East Wind, news of the God-Slaying Eternal Heaven Kingdom within the Eternal Family has already spread throughout Shrek City and is rapidly spreading to distant places.

There were even rumors accusing Shrek Academy of colluding with the God of War of the Temple of War to secretly smuggle out a God-Slaying fixed-position soul-guided cannon, which was then robbed by thieves. It was the Eternal Family that quelled the chaos and ultimately protected the Eternal Heaven.

Inside Leng Yaozhu's office at the Spirit Transmission Tower.

Looking at the news spreading outside, Leng Yaozhu's beautiful face showed a hint of worry that was hard to detect.

She was originally focused on preparing for tomorrow's battle, but now her mind was in turmoil.

If the Eternal Family truly possesses a God-Slaying Eternal Heaven, even if they win, they might not be able to elevate Na'er to the position of Young Tower Master.

Even the elders within the Spirit Pagoda might betray the ancient family and side with them.

Ultimately, this world is driven by self-interest.

"Aunt Leng, what are you worried about?"

Just then, a voice sounded behind Leng Yaozhu, and then Leng Yaozhu felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her waist.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Leng Yaozhu's cold and beautiful phoenix eyes suddenly became slightly hot.

"Xiao Xiu, what are you doing?"
