Douluo: The Throne of Ice

Chapter 242 Goodbye Silver Dragon King, I'm sorry! Tang San…

This spatial passage leads directly to the secret space where the Silver Dragon King is hiding beneath the Lake of Life. Shu Yan and Di Tian emerged one after the other, and the spatial passage behind them closed.

Several years had passed, but the Silver Dragon King's aura hadn't changed much. Only her purple dragon eyes had become more vibrant, indicating that her injuries were healing smoothly, though the pace was still a bit slow, not enough for her to return to her peak condition in a short time.

"You've arrived."

A hollow, melodious voice rang in his ears. The Silver Dragon King raised its massive head slightly, but did not open its mouth. The voice seemed to emanate directly from this space, omnipresent.

Di Tian bowed respectfully and then stood aside.

Shu Yan nodded, then got straight to the point:

"The plane that opened up the spatial passage is called the Abyss Plane. They want to devour the Douluo Plane to strengthen their own plane. The strength of that plane far exceeds that of the current Douluo Plane. Its ruler is called the Abyss Saint King, whose strength is that of a first-level god. He possesses a super artifact, the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd, but he does not have a godhood. The Abyss Plane itself is an avatar containing forty percent of the energy of the Crimson Plane."

"The Abyss Plane can transform and completely absorb the primordial energy of the Douluo Plane to strengthen itself, but similarly, the Douluo Plane can also devour the Abyss Plane to evolve."

"After I become a god, I am absolutely confident that I can kill the Abyss Saint King, thereby allowing the Douluo Plane to devour the Abyss Plane and evolve, thus enabling the autonomous birth of god-level powerhouses."

"But now the God Realm is about to be swept away by the spacetime turbulence. Without the God Realm, those self-born god-level powerhouses will not be able to live forever. After the continent is unified, I want the Douluo plane to devour and merge more planes, so as to establish the God Realm again or let the Douluo plane evolve to a higher level."

A look of astonishment flashed across the Silver Dragon King's deep, beautiful dragon eyes. She then gave Shu Yan a long, thoughtful look, without asking how he knew all this. She sensed his intense ambition and determination. After a moment's thought, she spoke:

"What do you want me to do?"

Shu Yan's expression remained unchanged, and then he said:

"As the Silver Dragon King, I will command all the soul beasts in the world to provide me with the faith power I need."

"Okay, that's not difficult."

The Silver Dragon King readily agreed, and then said:

"After the God Realm disappears and the planes evolve, I hope that the Soul Beast race will also have true gods."

Shu Yan glanced at Di Tian beside him, then spoke directly:

"Yes, by then, Di Tian will be the true Beast God, and the title of Beast God will no longer be just a so-called honorific title."

The Silver Dragon King glanced at Di Tian, ​​then nodded.

Di Tian was undoubtedly a qualified Beast God and subordinate, and he was also the most valued ferocious beast by the Silver Dragon King. The Soul Beast race needed a new god, and Di Tian was undoubtedly the best choice.

Di Tian, ​​standing to the side, was taken aback, and then a variety of emotions welled up in his heart at the same time, making him quite complicated.

"I've already investigated it; the spatial passage will still need some time to be fully connected. Until then, your time is very limited."

The Silver Dragon King continued speaking.

Shu Yan nodded, then said:

"I still need to condense my third soul core before I can enter the Limit Douluo realm. Before that, I need to hunt down the two divine beasts that followed the Sea God Tang San into the God Realm ten thousand years ago and then returned to the Douluo plane."

"Tang San's parents are also on the Douluo plane. They are unable to return to the God Realm, and their strength is suppressed by the laws of the plane. The Blue Silver Emperor is currently in the Golden Tree Origin of Shrek Academy, while Tang Hao has not yet appeared. These two must die."

The Silver Dragon King paused slightly, but soon she heard Shu Yan say:

"The Abyss Plane was originally brought here by the Sea God Tang San, but something went wrong. The Abyss Plane, which was supposed to invade thousands of years later, actually locked onto the location of the Douluo Plane ahead of time and took decisive action when the God Realm was too busy to pay attention."

"Blue Silver Emperor and Tang Hao were the contingency plans that Tang San left for his youngest son after predicting the spatial turbulence. Blue Silver Emperor intended to seize the Core of Life, while Tang Hao wanted to become the ruler of the plane. These two have been rejected by the plane. As for the two divine beasts, they, like the Sea God's wife, the Soft Bone Rabbit, are definitely on the Sea God's side. No matter what, I will kill them."

Upon hearing Shu Yan's words, the Silver Dragon King's expression turned slightly colder, and he then spoke:

"If everything you say is true, I can have Di Tian help you kill those two guys."

Shu Yan shook his head and chuckled softly:

"There's no need for that. Even if I don't become a Limit Douluo, I can still kill a god-level expert, let alone two priests who are suppressed by the plane."

The Silver Dragon King nodded slightly and said softly:

"If you need anything, feel free to come to me anytime."

Shu Yan hummed in agreement, not refusing. After discussing the relevant matters with the Silver Dragon King, Shu Yan politely declined Di Tian's offer to see him off and left by breaking through space.

After Shu Yan left, Di Tian looked at the Silver Dragon King with complicated emotions, and then said:

"My lord, has he really... come to this?"

The Silver Dragon King glanced at Di Tian, ​​then said:

"His strength is no weaker than mine, and you could even say he is stronger. Although he is not a true god yet, the intensity of his divinity is no less than that of an ordinary third-level god. Now, no one in the entire Douluo plane can withstand him."

Di Tian was somewhat taken aback and for a moment didn't know what to say.

The Silver Dragon King pondered for a moment, then continued:

"Everything he said is true, Di Tian. I have a feeling that the opportunity for the Soul Beast race to rise again is right in front of us, but whether we can seize it depends on us."

Di Tian's expression hardened, then he said firmly:

"For the prosperity of our clan, I will do my utmost."

……

After leaving the ominous place, Shu Yan once again came to the vicinity of that spatial passage.

His entire body was enveloped in icy blue soul power, and he gradually approached the ever-shattering and expanding spatial passage.

After a thorough investigation, Shu Yan raised his hand and struck down with a palm, unleashing an extreme chill that poured out like a torrent, then continued to penetrate deeper into the passage, completely freezing it.

He still needs some time. Before that, he doesn't want the Abyss Plane to descend too soon. This strike contains divine power, enough to delay the time it takes for this spatial passage to be fully formed and connected.

After that, Shu Yan left the Star Dou Great Forest and headed towards Shrek City.

……

Upon returning to the inner courtyard, Shu Yan immediately saw Xu Jiujiu, who looked somewhat worried.

After leaving the Sea God Pavilion, she had been feeling uneasy. Now that she saw Shu Yan return safely, she felt a little relieved.

"Ayan, what happened?"

After a long while, he finally spoke up and asked.

Shu Yan held Xu Jiujiu's hand, and the two strolled along the path surrounded by flowers and plants. Before long, they arrived at the shore of Poseidon Lake.

Sitting on a bench by the lake, Shu Yan gazed at the misty lake surface in the distance, and then said:

"The Abyss Plane has begun to move. The first spatial passage has appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest. There should be similar spatial passages in other parts of the continent. The Sea God Pavilion is preparing to notify the four countries of the continent. However, it is impossible for these spatial passages to be completely connected in a short period of time, and the number of spatial passages that can be successfully connected in the end will definitely only be one or two."

Xu Jiujiu was taken aback by his words, her azure eyes fixed on Shu Yan. After a moment, she spoke:

"So you don't have much time left?"

Shu Yan nodded and chuckled:

"Don't worry, this day will come sooner or later. For our future, this is what I have to do."

After a long while, she rested her head on Shu Yan's shoulder, responded softly, and did not say anything more.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

……

In the evening, Shu Yan went to the Sea God Pavilion again.

In the hall filled with a bright aura, Mu En sat at the head of the table. Taotie Douluo and many Shrek elders were all present. Clearly, Mu En had already explained to them what had happened in the Star Dou Great Forest.

The elders had various expressions. When Shu Yan entered the hall, everyone's attention was drawn to him. Mingfeng Douluo Yan Shaozhe stood up and then led Shu Yan to the first seat on the left.

The elders showed no dissatisfaction. Their attitude towards Shu Yan was one of shock and awe. Although Shu Yan always appeared to be extremely gentle, the cold killing intent he exuded when he released his aura earlier was enough to prove that he was somewhat two-faced and could even be described as a ruthless person.

Mu En nodded slightly to Shu Yan, and after Shu Yan took his seat, he looked around and said:

"I'm sure you all already know why I've called you all here today."

"I won't say anything more. I'm sure everyone knows how serious the problem is. Under such a terrible disaster, both humans and soul beasts need to put aside their previous hatred and work together to face it. This is not only necessary for Shrek Academy, but also for countries, forces and individuals on the continent."

After speaking, Mu En looked at Shu Yan.

Many elders turned their gazes toward him. Shu Yan leaned back in his chair, one hand resting on the table. After a moment, he raised his head, the slight smile on his lips vanishing instantly. Then, he spoke:

"The invasion from the Abyss Plane is a huge disaster for the entire Douluo Continent, but have you ever considered the root cause of this disaster?"

After the words were spoken, the hall was silent for a moment. Then, Moon, who was at the head of the table, spoke:

"Young friend Shu Yan, have you discovered anything?"

Shu Yan's gaze swept over each of the elders, then he spoke with a rather complex expression and tone:

"The Abyss Plane was drawn to the Douluo Plane by a powerful being. The other plane has a god-level expert and more than a dozen experts whose strength is at or even greater than that of the Beast God Di Tian."

"After careful investigation, I discovered that all of this was most likely the work of the sea god who ascended to the divine realm ten thousand years ago."

As soon as Shu Yan said this, the entire Sea God Pavilion fell into a deathly silence.

But before the elders could show their stunned and angry expressions, Shu Yan continued:

"Elders, please be patient. This conclusion is not my own. Perhaps you are unaware that the former Dragon King, the Silver Dragon King, is currently in the perilous Star Dou Great Forest. From her, I learned that Tang San's parents are still in the Douluo Plane, and that the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin, is currently parasitizing the origin of your Golden Tree, attempting to seize the core of life within the plane..."

"What!?"

As soon as Shu Yan finished speaking, Taotie Douluo Xuanzi, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up, his eyes filled with astonishment and confusion.

The other elders were also startled, looking around at the walls that emitted a faint golden light with some surprise and uncertainty.

Even Mu En couldn't sit still this time. As the strongest people in this era, they naturally knew what kind of existence the Silver Dragon King was.

That was one of the two avatars of the Dragon God, a powerful being who controlled the elemental authority of the Dragon God's main body, and was the most exalted ruler among all the soul beasts.

The Golden Dragon King is said to have perished, and there are many different accounts of the Silver Dragon King. But no one expected that the Silver Dragon King, who carries such a strong historical aura, is now in the Star Dou Great Forest, not too far from Shrek Academy.

As for the Blue Silver Emperor... she has many records in Shrek Academy, especially her "beautiful" love story with the Haotian Douluo Tang Hao, who is of a different race. It has even been adapted into a play by many people, and it is performed from time to time on special holidays.

According to Shrek Academy's records, these two should have already followed the Sea God into the God Realm. But now they are being told that the Blue Silver Emperor from ten thousand years ago is near the Sea God Pavilion where they usually live, and could even be said to be "eating and sleeping" with them. How could this not be astonishing...

Shu Yan's expression remained unchanged, but a closer look at the depths of his eyes revealed a hidden, deeply mocking glint.

After thinking for a moment, he slowly stood up, coughed lightly, glanced around at the many elders, and then said:

"Speculation is just speculation, and no amount of speculation can compare to practice. Seniors, we are now in the Golden Tree. Whether everything I have said is true, and what secrets are hidden behind it, we now have a chance to find out."

Many of the elders were intelligent people, and they understood Shu Yan's meaning in an instant. Then, everyone's eyes turned to Mu En, who was sitting in the head seat. It was clear that they were all waiting for Mu En's decision. At this time, Mu En was their absolute backbone; otherwise, they would really be at a loss.

Moon was silent for a moment, then slowly rose, leaning on his cane, and said:

"We cannot be certain of the truth, but as my friend Shu Yan said, we have a chance to find out."

The elders exchanged glances, then nodded in unison…

As Shu Yan watched this scene, a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips. He walked out of the Sea God Pavilion, looked at the slightly gloomy sky, murmured a few words to himself, and then his gaze fell upon the roots of the golden tree…

Tang San, I'm so sorry! Ultimately, you'll have to take the blame for this...

I'm sure you're broad-minded and wouldn't care about such a small matter...
