Douluo: Yun Ming in the Spirit Hall Era

Chapter 406 Extra Chapter Finale

Upon receiving this answer, Ya Li didn't say anything. She simply stepped forward and hugged Yun Ming tightly, whispering a few words.

Come back soon, I'm waiting for you at home.

Ya Li didn't ask what happened, where he went, or when he would be back. Since Yun Ming hadn't told her anything, it was probably something she couldn't know, and there was no need for her to ask any further.

Yun Ming wrapped his arms around Ya Li's waist, gently embracing her, and answered softly but firmly.

"Okay, I'll be back as soon as I've taken care of everything."

After giving Ya Li a final, gentle kiss, Yun Ming released her and turned to embark on his final journey.

Boundless Realm

The Creator God sensed the entrance opening, and countless starlight converged to form a shape, causing the black-robed Yunming to reappear.

"Is it finally about to begin?"

He looked at Yun Ming and asked in a low voice, his face flushed and his eyes bright. His excitement was clearly something that even his extraordinary mind, which had seen countless things in the world over the years, could not suppress.

Yun Ming glanced at the Creation World, let out a long breath, and calmed his mind.

"Yes, it's started."

He raised his right hand, and a long spear appeared, its entire body radiating an incandescent light, its shaft resembling transparent crystal.

After many years, the Sky-Piercing Spear has finally been reborn!

Seeing that Yun Ming had summoned Qingtian, the Creator God said nothing more to disturb Yun Ming and waited for the final outcome. Yun Ming closed his eyes and began his final preparations.

When Yun Ming opened his eyes again, a terrifying nine-colored radiance suddenly erupted, and a dazzling flower of the world unfolded above Yun Ming's head. The moment the flower bloomed, the Creator God felt everything around him freeze; the void, time, and even His thoughts were suppressed for a moment.

How could he be so strong? The Creator was shocked upon regaining his senses; he couldn't quite understand. It had only been thirty years since Yun Ming became a god, how could he have grown so quickly? This understanding of the world's origin surpassed even His own countless years of comprehension! Back then… well, He didn't have a "back then." His birth was his peak moment, and also the last moment of his true life.

In fact, if Yun Ming had the time to answer His questions, he would tell Him. If He had truly survived back then, His progress wouldn't have been slower than Yun Ming's. Because participating in the world's perfection is the best cultivation process; He left too early after the creation and didn't get to enjoy this benefit.

Having gathered his strength, the nine-colored wheel in Yun Ming's eyes gradually turned into chaos, and his right hand, holding the Heaven-Supporting Spear, joined his arm, also shrouded in dense chaotic energy.

With his gaze fixed on the dimensional barrier in the latter half of the Boundless Realm, Yun Ming raised his right arm and silently contemplated.

Sky-Piercing, Boundary-Severing!

Then, with force, it cleaved the space in front of it. A blazing fissure of light spread out, splitting the entire Realm of Nothingness in two, attempting to cleave this universe apart.

The "Boundary Severing" technique, if it doesn't actually sever boundaries, is somewhat undeserving of its name. And now is the moment to prove its worth!

The cracks continued to spread, and the Realm of Nothingness, which had existed since the Creator God created the world, was expanding once again. No one knew what the outcome of this transcendence would be, but the ancient tree of life in the God Realm seemed to sense it, its branches swaying and rustling.

The Sun and Moon Federation Era, the far north, the battlefield of the Holy War.

Tang Wulin couldn't help but shout when he saw Ya Li's resolute smile.

"mom!"

Ya Li gently shook her head at him, then raised her hand and pointed at him. The next instant, a dazzling light rose from the Holy Spirit Douluo's body!

The blinding holy light instantly illuminated the entire nine-square grid where she stood, turning it into an intensely white incandescent color. She and her four-character battle armor ignited instantly, bursting forth with the most intense holy flames, sweeping towards the Ghost Emperor.

The Ghost Emperor let out a strange cry.

"Are you insane? Are you even willing to burn your own soul to ashes?"

He had considered what Ya Li would do, and how she would retaliate fiercely, but he hadn't expected this Holy Spirit Douluo to be so resolute. The moment the flames ignited, her body, soul, and battle armor were completely engulfed in flames. That terrifying holy light fire had transformed into the purest purifying power in the world, sweeping wildly towards the Ghost Emperor.

Pink and white flames engulfed the world, swallowing both figures.

The two flames burned fiercely, locked in a fierce struggle, but in the end, a victor emerged.

Although the divine clearly suppresses evil, in terms of total energy, Yali is ultimately inferior to the Ghost Emperor.

The pink flames gradually gained the upper hand, while the incandescent flames slowly died out. With this ebb and flow, the flames within the grid gradually weakened.

Tang Wulin's heart sank to the bottom. He understood perfectly well what this meant, and even if he wanted to act now, it was already too late!

How could this happen? Tang Wulin closed his eyes in anguish. It's over, Mom...

"Holy Spirit Douluo, do you think igniting everything, including my soul, will burn me to death? Even if you are a quasi-god, you won't have that chance. I forged this four-word battle armor by fusing my own bones into it, making it unique in the entire world. In the end, it's you who will die. You won't have the chance to reunite with your dead husband. Even your soul has been burned, and you can only wail in agony under my death flames, ga-ga, ga-ga-ga-ga."

The Ghost Emperor seemed to be venting his frustrations, laughing hysterically.

But before Tang Wulin could suddenly attack and hurt someone, the situation changed again.

A point of white light suddenly appeared in the void, enveloped in a vibrant emerald glow. This emerald green wasn't the deathly flames of the Ghost Emperor, but rather a life-giving aura. The next instant, a figure broke free from the white light and gracefully appeared before the Ghost Emperor—none other than the Holy Spirit Douluo, Ya Li!

Compared to before, her body seemed slightly more ethereal, not quite solid, yet it was gradually solidifying. Her four-word battle armor had vanished. But her true form remained. Her pretty face was filled with a mocking smile.

"Go ahead and laugh?" Yali said coldly.

The Ghost Emperor seemed to have truly seen a ghost, exclaiming in horror, "You... how could you not be dead? Your soul has already burned!"

Ya Li said calmly, "In my life, I've saved countless lives. Don't I have the ability to resurrect myself? I admit, in a one-on-one situation, I'm no match for you. Even Brother Ming couldn't kill you back then, let alone me. Unfortunately, you've been too clever for yourselves, trapping you and me in this tiny little space. Within this confined area, however, lies my only chance to kill you. Because you have nowhere to escape."

As she spoke, blinding flames rose from her body once more. The dazzling holy flames, carrying an unparalleled and majestic aura, once again swept towards the Ghost Emperor.

If your cultivation level isn't high enough, and one attempt isn't enough, then try again.

"."

The holy light gradually faded, and the green flames weakened considerably. When the enormous skull reappeared in everyone's sight, nearly half of it had completely collapsed. The Ghost Emperor reappeared atop the skull, his own body badly damaged. The luster of his bones had become incredibly dim. The Ghost Emperor had withstood Ya Li's fatal burst of power for the second time.

Is it over? The Ghost Emperor lowered his head, his eyes sparsely glowing with ghostly fire. Looking at his ravaged body, he had been injured to the core, even his soul had suffered some damage. He didn't know how many years it would take to recover, and his long-cherished dream of becoming a god had been completely extinguished by the burning of the sacred flames. But then a familiar scene appeared again: a point of white light shone before him once more.

One Holy Spirit Douluo burning his own life force wasn't enough to break this quasi-god, but what if it were three Holy Spirit Douluos? Even if the Ghost Emperor was incredibly powerful, in this confined space, he had no chance to dodge. The burning of three quasi-gods' lives, combined with the powerful divine purification force, left him with absolutely no way to escape. In the end, he completely collapsed.

This time, the burning time was very short, seemingly only a few seconds, before the white flames dissipated, leaving not even a bone fragment behind for the Ghost Emperor. Even his soul was completely purified within the white flames.

Seeing the Ghost Emperor finally die at her hands, Ya Li's last obsession was also resolved. She looked up at the sky, as if she were looking at the man who was etched deep into her soul.

"Brother Ming, I'm here."

As he spoke, his soul began to dissipate.

"mom--"

Tang Wulin watched as Ya Li's soul continued to dissipate, calling out in a trembling voice, but he was now surrounded by powerful enemies and could do nothing.

"Silly child, don't be sad. Ming and I can finally be reunited."

"I'm satisfied with avenging him. The rest is up to you."

Tang Wulin's body trembled slightly, his lips pressed tightly together to keep from shedding tears. Although he knew someone would die today, he was still overwhelmed with grief when he actually saw his loved ones die.

Just as Yali's soul was about to be completely annihilated, the heavens changed! A boundless void rift suddenly appeared in the sky, and terrifying nine-colored divine light illuminated the world!

At this moment, divine power was like a prison, and the world was gripped by panic!

Both the Sun and Moon Federation and the Abyss Plane felt that a great calamity was about to befall the world, and that a great terror was about to descend upon humanity!

On the side of the Sun and Moon Federation, Tang Wulin and the others were only at the mortal realm, unable to even make a sound, and could only barely withstand the pressure.

As for the abyss side...

"Who goes there?!"

Sensing the impending life-or-death crisis, the Abyss Saint King could no longer remain still. He emerged wielding the Heavenly Saint Abyss Splitting Halberd, ready to wage war.

The newcomer had translucent, white hair, a fair complexion, and handsome features. His black eyes had no whites, only a deep, abyss-like depths. His fingers were long and slender, and he wore a long black robe that covered his entire body. The broad shoulders and collar flared out to the sides, and a huge black cloak stretched behind him, seemingly endless.

He pointed his halberd to the sky, and darkness descended. A deep purple sun slowly rose into the sky, as if it were trying to reclaim control of the world from the nine-colored divine light.

"So noisy!"

After the newcomer managed to preserve Ya Li's last wisp of soul, he glanced coldly at the Abyss Saint Lord, who was jumping around quite happily, and snorted.

In an instant, nine-colored divine light erupted, and unimaginable terrifying power swept across the heavens and earth, tearing apart the dark demonic sun in an instant.

"puff--"

The divine image was shattered, and the Abyss Saint King suddenly spat out a mouthful of purple blood.

"How...how is this possible!"

Under the terrifying counterattack of the newcomer, the Abyss Saint King felt as if his proud cultivation was fake, and he had no power to resist at all.

"Cough cough—!"

"Who are you?!"

He coughed up blood several more times before the Abyss Saint King recovered. He was no longer the dashing figure he had been before, his hair disheveled as he stared at the blurry figure in the sky.

The newcomer did not answer, but slowly walked out of the range of divine light. At this moment, everyone finally knew who the newcomer was!

"Sect Master!!!"

"teacher!!!"

"Yun Ming!!!"

Faced with Yun Ming's unbridled and terrifying power, the Shrek Seven Devils, old friends, and old enemies alike, were speechless, their hearts filled with turbulent waves of shock. They couldn't understand why the invincible one who had been dead for many years would return, carrying such earth-shattering power.

Yun Ming glanced at the various expressions on everyone's faces and greeted them.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Not only Tang Wulin and the others were emotional, but Yun Ming was too, except that most of his close friends seemed to be gone.

Upon seeing the tense-looking Abyss Saint King and the Holy Spirit Cult's extermination of evil, he suppressed his turbulent emotions.

"What bad luck to see something dirty as soon as you arrive!"

Without giving the Abyss Saint King a chance to reply, he raised his finger to the sky, and a towering spear shadow quickly condensed in the sky, its tip pointing directly at the Abyss Saint King and the Abyss Plane!

When the Abyss Saint King saw Yun Ming attack without warning, his face turned pale instantly. But given Yun Ming's decisive actions, there was clearly no room for maneuver. The only option now was to fight to the death.

"Abyssal Split!"

With a loud shout, the Abyss Saint King caused all the worlds in the Abyss Plane, except for the most fundamental first layer, to begin to disintegrate, turning into energy and merging into the Natural Abyss Splitting Halberd.

"ah--"

"No--"

"."

As the abyss crumbled, the emperors under the Abyss Saint King's command screamed in agony, dying instantly and turning into energy that returned to the Saint King's embrace.

As so much energy poured in, the aura of the Abyss Saint King surged dramatically. Originally only at the half-step God King realm, he was showing signs of crossing over to the other half-step, and the Heavenly Saint Abyss Splitting Halberd in his hand seemed to be activated, unleashing unprecedented ferocity.

Seeing that the power in his hand had been accumulated to the limit, the Abyss Saint King no longer hesitated, gripped the divine halberd tightly, and hurled it fiercely at Yun Ming!

"Abyss God-Slaying Break!"

With a single strike, all things crumble. A Heavenly Saint Abyss-Splitting Halberd shot out, carrying the power of the entire plane, locking onto Yun Ming with the force of annihilation.

Yun Ming showed no reaction to the Abyss Saint King's counterattack, even though the attack had reached the level of a God-King. He raised his hand and waved it, and the towering spear shadow above his head transformed into a nine-colored celestial sun, radiating dazzling divine light as it fell towards 'Purple Lightning'.

Supporting the sky, shooting down the sun!

The Abyss Saint saw it: the purple lightning pierced the sun. But before he could see the final result, the light of the sun-shooting beam filled his entire field of vision!

No no no no—

Seeing the attack approaching, the Abyss Saint King roared inwardly. He wanted to dodge, but all his divine power was focused on his final, desperate strike; he couldn't escape!

"ah--"

The light of the sun-shooting beam struck the Abyss Saint King, instantly engulfing his flesh and soul, reducing him to nothingness. In his final moments, he heard the final sound: a cracking sound.

After annihilating the Abyss Saint King, the light of the sun shot directly at the final core of the Abyss Plane.

"boom--"

A deafening roar echoed across the world in the far north of this planet, and could be faintly heard even in the far south of the continent.

Inside Shrek Academy, a boy heard a sound, looked north, and then saw a sight he would never forget.

The sky is falling!

The scene was so grand that he was speechless. He wanted to ask his teacher what kind of soul skill had created this effect, and then he saw his teacher staring in disbelief. To be precise, not only his teacher, but everyone was dumbfounded.

If Shrek Academy, located in the heart of the continent, was like this, one can only imagine the plight of the people in the Sun and Moon Federation, near the far north. Witnessing the destruction of the Abyss, they laid down their burdens while simultaneously inwardly groaning.

"My life is over!"

Then, another astonishing scene unfolded. Yun Ming made a single, sweeping motion with his hand, and a nine-colored barrier shot into the sky, directly absorbing all the aftershocks. Although they were still struck by the terrifying noise, their heads buzzing, none of them were in mortal danger. Of course, except for the members of the Holy Spirit Cult.

When the aftershocks subsided, apart from the black hole in the sky, most things related to the Abyss disappeared, leaving only the Abyss's primordial energy that had been suppressed in Yun Ming's hands.

With everything over, Yun Ming withdrew his divine power and released the people from their confinement.

Tang Wulin and his Shrek academy group quickly stepped forward to pay their respects.

"Greetings, Lord Lord!"

Others, including high-ranking members of the Tang Clan, the Temple of War, and the Federal Legion, also rushed to see him.

"Greetings, Lord Optimus Prime!"

He originally wanted to address him as "Your Majesty," but seeing Yun Ming's single hand 'Peace' over the Abyss, he quickly swallowed the words back.

"No need for formalities!"

When Yun Ming saw several familiar faces, including Cao Dezhi and Zang Xin, as well as a few young people like Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena, his expression softened, and he said, "No need for formalities."

"I'm so happy to see that you're all still alive," Yun Ming said with a smile, looking at the group.

Seeing that Yun Ming was still the same as before, Zang Xin and the other top performers breathed a sigh of relief. Cao Dezhi then spoke up.

"We have to thank you for this! Otherwise, we would all probably be dead here today."

Yun Ming smiled and shook his head.

"Maybe! It's good that he's not dead. And actually, even if he were dead, it wouldn't matter, he could just be resurrected."

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

With that, he raised his hand and waved it, and a pitch-black gate to the Ghost King rose from the earth. The gate opened, dark clouds obscured the sun, and figures emerged from it, led by Chen Xinjie, Guan Yue, Long Yueye, and several others.

The allied forces were stunned to see the dead return. The deceased themselves were equally bewildered to see their former comrades.

"Master, have they been resurrected?!"

Sensing the vibrant life force of everyone present, Yue Zhengyu exclaimed in disbelief.

Yun Ming replied, "Yes."

Yun Ming's voice wasn't loud, but everyone present had high cultivation levels, so how could they not hear him? They immediately understood the situation and were overjoyed.

Guan Yue, Long Yeyue, and the others were also shocked to see Yun Ming.

"Senior brother, aren't you?" Guan Yue asked in confusion, and the others also listened attentively.

Yun Ming replied calmly.

"I didn't die completely back then; my soul was swept away by the turbulent flow of time and space, and I narrowly escaped with my life."

He did say something, but not everything, essentially giving a vague answer. Everyone assumed it was a public occasion and didn't think much of it. Only Guan Yue, who knew his senior brother well, sensed something was amiss. But he didn't ask further; that wasn't in his nature.

"It's good that you're alive," Guan Yue concluded.

After Guan Yue finished speaking, Tang Wulin wanted to ask another question, but before he could speak, Yun Ming noticed something, frowned, and shouted.

"Now that you're awake, come out, everyone!"

Upon hearing Yun Ming's words, everyone became extremely tense. Could it be that there was another powerful enemy? However, what happened next was something they had not expected.

Tang Wulin's trident mark between his eyebrows flashed, and a blue-gold light emerged from it.

"Talented people emerge in every generation! I never imagined that Shrek Academy could produce such a peerless talent as you, young friend, even with the disappearance of the God Realm!"

Upon seeing this person's appearance, the Limit Douluos felt a jolt in their brains. They had truly broadened their horizons today; the Sea God had descended! The members of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect were incredibly excited, tears welling in their eyes. They felt as if they had met their ancestor today, and even death would be without regret.

Yun Ming stared at Tang San's divine avatar without much reaction. Once his illusions were shattered, he truly couldn't appreciate the other's performance.

Ignoring Tang San, Yun Ming looked towards the space not far away.

"You two, come out here! What are you hiding for!"

Tang San's eyes flashed with seriousness as he saw Yun Ming treating him as if he were nothing. Something was wrong. This person seemed completely indifferent to him. Wasn't he once the Lord of the Sea God Pavilion? How could this be? Meanwhile, Tang Hao and Ah Yin, who had been seen through by Yun Ming, also frowned deeply. This atmosphere was strange!

Yun Ming had already realized that there was no point in hiding any longer. After a spatial ripple, the two of them stepped out.

"Kid, you're skilled and tough, I like that!" Tang Hao commented.

"Thank you so much, young friend, for saving the lives of people on the mainland and preventing widespread bloodshed!" Ah Yin said politely.

Upon hearing his mother's words, Tang San echoed her praise.

"Shrek Academy is fortunate to have a Pavilion Master like you, a blessing for Shrek Academy and for the entire continent!"

The others didn't recognize Tang Hao and A Yin, but from their conversation, they understood they were probably allies and lowered their guard. However, Yun Ming's next words suddenly struck them like a bolt from the blue.

Yun Ming coldly addressed Tang San.

"I don't know if I'm Shrek's good fortune, but Shrek is quite unfortunate to have you."

The moment those words were spoken, the scene fell silent. They hadn't expected this turn of events. Had the previous Shrek Academy leader and the academy's legend gotten into a fight? Tang Hao and Ah Yin's expressions also changed.

The Shrek Academy members were stunned, while the Tang Clan members were furious.

Zang Xin reprimanded him.

"Yun Ming, how dare you be so disrespectful to the Sea God!"

After the initial statement, the others, who also deeply loved the sea god, loudly proclaimed their own.

Chen Xinjie: "Yun Ming, watch your words!"

Long Yeyue: "Yun Ming, stop talking nonsense!"

"."

In an instant, the outcry came like a tidal wave.

Yun Ming knew that Tang San had a very high reputation on the continent, but he did not expect that the reputation would be so high. Not to mention the juniors, many of whom had a good relationship with him, as well as many people he had just rescued, started to retaliate on the spot, which he did not expect.

Tang San ignored the other limits and looked at Yun Ming with a serious expression.

"Junior, it seems you have a deep misunderstanding about me!"

Yun Ming wasn't angry with the others because they were unaware of the truth. Turning his gaze back to Tang San, Yun Ming spoke calmly.

There is no misunderstanding, only understanding.

Tang San frowned. What did that mean? Did he understand him?!

"And as for the facts, we'll see."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Ming's palm ignited with nine-colored divine power, and he grabbed at Tang San.

Seeing that Yun Ming dared to attack him, Tang San confirmed Yun Ming's stance—that he was an enemy—and then retaliated, unleashing a powerful palm strike with the surging power of the ocean.

"Young man, you've gone too far!"

Seeing the rolling waves and the boundless power of the palm strike, Yun Ming felt that it was stronger than Poseidon, but that was all.

"If your physical body were still here, you might be able to exchange a few blows with me, but a mere divine thought? You're simply overestimating yourself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the terrifying divine might of the heavens reappeared, and the world of the far north once again submitted to Yunming. Mortals bowed their heads, unable to rise again.

Previously, Yun Ming was mainly targeting the Abyss Saint King, so his aura was restrained and Tang San didn't notice it. Now that he had become the target, he suddenly realized that this junior was simply unreasonably strong.

"boom--"

With just one palm strike, the Sea God's divine power was shattered, and Tang San's divine sense was captured.

"The other woman!!!"

Seeing their son taken down, Tang Hao and A Yin suddenly launched an attack.

Large clusters of seven-colored light appeared out of thin air and coalesced into shape. Finally, they transformed into a gigantic seven-colored hammer, which descended from the sky. Endless life force condensed into a net, also sweeping towards Yunming.

Upon seeing this, Yun Ming pressed down with his other palm. A rainbow of light descended from the sky, shattering the net and suppressing the two as well.

After glancing at their abilities, Yun Ming mocked Tang San.

"Plane Master, Core of Life, you really are a filial son! Do you really think Douluo Star is your Tang family's private property?!"

Tang San felt grief and indignation, but he was trapped by others and powerless to do anything about it.

"Young man, what exactly do you want?!"

Yun Ming said casually.

"I told you, look at the facts."

The light in his palm shifted and invaded Tang San's divine sense. Upon seeing this, Tang San's expression changed drastically. If anyone saw this, his reputation would be ruined, and his 20,000-year plan would be destroyed in an instant!

"Living"

Tang San wanted to resist, but a single divine thought could only be manipulated at will by Yun Ming, leaving him with no possibility of resistance.

What happened next was simple: Yun Ming broadcast Tang San's plans for the Abyss Plane live across the entire continent.

The outcome was predictable: the Abyss was steeped in bloodshed on the Douluo Continent. Ordinary people might not know, but the major Soul Master factions were acutely aware that such a blood feud was difficult to quantify, especially considering the strength of their faith. At least at the scene, even those from the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy were stunned.

After the live stream ended, Yun Ming didn't give the three another chance. He directly extinguished Tang San's divine sense, and the power that Tang Hao and Ah Yin had seized was extracted by Yun Ming and merged into Douluo Star along with the Abyss Origin. Then he also released the shackles from the soul masters and soul beasts of Douluo Star.

Yun Ming glanced at the Shrek Academy and Tang Sect members, their faith crumbling, but ignored them. This was a necessary growing pain for the continent's transformation. There were only two people; he needed to deal with them before leaving.

Yun Ming handed the powerless Tang Hao and A Yin to Tang Wulin.

"You've seen what your father did. I hope you've thought carefully about what you'll do next. I don't want the person I've chosen to become a hypocrite!"

"Of course, if you want revenge, I'll oblige."

In this life, there is Tang Wulin, so Yun Ming cannot simply kill the two of them.

Tang Wulin numbly accepted his grandparents' hand, staring blankly at Yun Ming with a complex expression. He was indeed different from Tang San, but he still admired Tang San in his heart. Now that the situation had become like this, he didn't know what to do! In the end, he could only remain silent.

As for the other person, it is naturally Gu Yuena.

"The problem with the soul beasts is solved; you should be able to feel it. Whether you move away or stay is up to you. I only have one request: settle your scores and don't cause trouble for humans. If you need to, go find the gods when the divine realm returns."

Yun Ming became much less lenient with his rebellious daughter.

Gu Yuena was a little unhappy, but the feelings left by Na'er meant she could only accept them obediently.

"understood."

Gu Yuena muttered something in response.

Seeing the girl like this, Yun Ming recalled the time he raised Na'er and couldn't help but smile.

This is what a daughter should be like!

After giving the dragon's head a final stroke, Yunming vanished, leaving behind only a stunned silver dragon king.

After this incident, Tang San's image collapsed. Although the Federation, considering Tang San's extensive involvement on the mainland, did not forcibly abolish his title, Tang San's selfish plan was tantamount to cutting himself off from the mainland. All forces, led by the Federation, began to downplay Tang San's influence; statues were removed, the Sea God Pavilion was renamed, and most public information was destroyed. Even the Tang Sect, under pressure from other forces, began to transfer its glory to Tang Wulin.

With all these forces acting in such a tacit manner, in less than a thousand years, even if Tang San doesn't become dust in history like Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong before him, he will be known to very few.

As for Yun Ming, he became Shrek Academy's new eternal monument and the savior of the abyss, his name spreading far and wide.

With everything settled, looking at the slumbering soul figure in his palm, Yun Ming's icy gaze melted away, replaced by tenderness. He glanced at the slowly dissipating karma within his divine body and spoke gently to his palm.

"So, this karma originated from you!"

At this moment, Yun Ming understood everything. The look in his eyes when he fought Poseidon, and his recent sudden enlightenment, all had their meaning.

His own time travel was due to a spatial rift, but Yali's was different; she was rescued by his future self and sent back to the past. He now has to make amends for his future self's actions, otherwise both timelines will collapse! This is the origin of the powerful karma that affects him.

After taking one last look at this space-time, Yun Ming stepped out and entered the dimensional rift.

"Let's go home."
