Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline.

Chapter 395 The Hostility of the Eternal East Wind

What does "Golden Ancient Tree" mean?
Ah Yin?

Su Ming was confused.

How did Ah Yin secretly become acquainted with Tang Wulin behind my back?
"Forget about Wu Lin, I have another matter to discuss with you. Our academy is also preparing to participate in your Wanlingtai project. I wonder if we can talk about cooperation?"

Wanlingtai?
"Elder Feng, Shrek Academy can just come to Wanlingtai to experience it when they need it."

Su Ming refused.

I'd like to participate in the project, but what would I do?
Want to make a replica?

"Elder Feng, you are one of the few blacksmiths who have mastered the Spirit Fusion Technique. If you want to cooperate with the Myriad Spirit Platform in the name of the Blacksmith Association to help Soul Masters forge within the Myriad Spirit Platform, then we can talk about it. However, if it is related to the construction of the Myriad Spirit Platform, I do not currently intend to use any forces or personnel other than the Blacksmith Association and the Spirit Pagoda for this project."

Feng Wuyu looked embarrassed.

Although they already knew this outcome, the Sea God Pavilion still wanted to give it a shot.

He sighed, didn't try to persuade her any further, and turned to leave.

Su Ming watched Feng Wuyu leave, a deep look flashing in his eyes.

Shrek has become somewhat greedy.

This is not due to human greed, but rather a long-standing social trend.

An academy had become so powerful that it was uncontrollable, turning into a force to be reckoned with. That would have been bad enough, but it continued to be guided by its reputation, leading to its current state. Just look at Shrek Academy now!

It's practically an independent world of Soul Masters!
Now that Shrek Academy is completely isolated from the outside world, it can operate on its own by only periodically supplying soul spirits, Ascension Platform slots, and rare metals, and even the cultivation of its members will not be disturbed in any way.

However, these three things that it lacks are completely impossible to prohibit.

Even if the Spirit Pagoda and Shrek Academy were to go to war, it would be impossible for them to propose measures to prohibit the provision of soul spirits to all Shrek Academy disciples.

In the original story, after Shrek Academy was destroyed, all the students escaped and lived in an underground shelter for several years. Not only did this not affect their cultivation, but they all made great progress.

All they needed to do was send someone out to purchase supplies every so often.

This is something Shrek must do for their own sake.

But for Su Ming, it is something he must prevent.

He could not allow Shrek to continue this disorderly expansion.

"Cooperation with Wanlingtai is fine, we can just refuse. But Ah Yin is being dishonest, she's started to acknowledge Tang Wulin as her grandson, it seems she's hooked up with Old Tang."

Su Ming entered the space of will and looked at the part of the plane's will, at the life core belonging to the Golden Ancient Tree, but there was no sign of Ah Yin's will activity inside.

"It seems to be a connection on a real-world level. Did Old Tang leave some kind of backup plan at Shrek Academy, which is why he hasn't returned yet and has attracted Ah Yin's attention?"

Regardless, this forced Su Ming to begin reflecting on himself.

"I still have a lot of Ah Yin's power in my spirit rings. I need to start cleaning them up. I need to hurry up and go to the Abyss to use the power of heaven and earth in the Abyss to cleanse them."

You need tools to cleanse yourself, and the Abyss is a good tool for that.

Su Ming felt that he should go into the abyss to draw out the heavenly tribulation and then cleanse himself so that he could feel at ease.

As for the abyssal energy entering his body, he can return to the Douluo plane and be baptized by the heavenly tribulation again.

Heavenly tribulations are not insurmountable. As long as it's not the tribulation for becoming a god, that tribulation is a valuable thing that can penetrate into every minute detail of the body.

Let alone baptism, the same applies to giving gifts.

Didn't Su Ming have the Heavenly Tribulation help him send Xue Di's power to all parts of his body during the second season of Douluo Continent?

After quickly selecting talent within the tower and making two trips between the Spirit Transmission Tower and the Blacksmith Association to confirm that the Myriad Spirit Platform had successfully entered the development phase, Su Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"We can go to the Abyss now!" (Qian Gu Dong Feng's office)

Looking at the letter of recommendation in front of him, Qian Gu Dongfeng signed it with a grim expression.

"You're only a Soul Emperor, there's no need for you to rush to the Abyss to make a name for yourself."

He was very insistent on making a contribution.

Having just started a project, he's already racking up credits and reputation; the threat Su Ming poses to him is becoming increasingly apparent.

"No need for the tower master to trouble himself."

Su Ming took the invitation.

With this letter of recommendation in hand, he could start directly as a major in the Blood God Legion, and with the added points from the assessment, he might even be able to become a Blood God upon joining the legion.

Blood God, the very core of the Blood God Legion.

After Su Ming left, Qian Gu Dongfeng's face turned terribly gloomy.

"A mere Soul Emperor dares to go to the Blood God Legion? He really doesn't know how he'll die."

His eyes were fierce.

In the past two days, he tried to win over Leng Yaozhu, but she had no intention of forming an alliance. Even Gu Yuena began to distance herself from Qian Gu Zhangting and stopped talking to him.

They had a good chat a while ago, at least he responded when Qian Gu Zhang Ting probed his intentions.

“Su Ming and Gu Yuena, the next tower master can only be one of them. If Su Ming does not die, it will be difficult for Gu Yuena to be on the same side as my Qian Gu family. My Qian Gu family has no need to interfere in their struggle.”

But is he willing to accept this?
How could power possibly be handed over?
In the heart of Qian Gu Dong Feng, several figures suddenly flashed by.

"The Abyss, the Holy Spirit Cult took a batch of Abyss data from me last time. I wonder when they plan to make their move," Qian Gu Dongfeng thought to himself.

Although the other plan was more important, Qian Gu Dongfeng could not rest easy as long as Su Ming was alive.

The Blood God Legion has a rule: after arriving at the Fiery Basin, one must trek on foot to climb the high mountain where the Blood God Legion is stationed in order to join the Blood God Legion. After passing the new recruit assessment, a military rank will be determined.

Walking through the fiery basin, Su Ming was not in a hurry.

Along the way, he encountered sand worm attacks more than once.

The Sand Demon Worm is a unique soul beast found only in the desert. It uses its secreted juices to convert all the power of its target into liquid, which it then absorbs and digests.

If sand worms proliferate too much, it will cause the desert to expand rapidly.

Other deserts are fine, but the sand worms in the Fiery Basin have multiplied wildly, and the desert here has been expanding in recent years.

"This is what they call 'the antidote is within a hundred paces.' The battlefield between the Abyss and the Douluo Plane is nearby, and the Sand Demon Worms are multiplying rapidly at the bottom of this Fiery Plate."

The Sand Demon Worm's abilities are designed to affect the Abyss Plane.

Of course, it won't work now, so the plane is frantically adding sand demon worms, even if the ecosystem is destroyed, it is still allowing the sand demon worms to reproduce, the purpose of which is obviously to mutate the sand demon worms.

Unfortunately, the power that the plane's will can guide is too limited. The sand demon worms ravaged the area, but no suitable individuals mutated from them.

Su Ming examined the corpse of the Sand Demon Worm and confirmed that there were no successfully mutated individuals. Without wasting any time, he headed towards the Blood God Legion.

It doesn't matter whether the sand demon worms are there or not.

"I only need to absorb the energy of the abyss."

As long as Su Ming can devour it, there's no need to worry about the abyss having too much energy to consume.
