Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

Compared to Long Xiaoyao, Mu En's feelings were much more complicated, just like Ye Xishui's.

He could face Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui alone, but when the two of them came together, all that remained was complexity.

Similarly, after calming down, Long Xiaoyao's feelings were also complicated.

Ye Xishui turned around and looked at the two most important men in her life. Although her feelings were complicated, she had to face what she had to face.

"The three of us are together again."

Ye Xishui sighed. It had been a long time since the three of them had gotten together since they parted ways years ago.

"Xi Shui, what is our relationship with Shao Zhe?"

Long Xiaoyao suddenly asked, "I felt something was off after I entered Shrek Academy and saw Yan Shaozhe, especially after absorbing and refining the power of the God of Darkness and breaking through to the level 100 god. That feeling became even stronger."

He understood that it was because Yan Shaozhe possessed his own bloodline power, although it was very weak, it was definitely derived from him, meaning that Yan Shaozhe was his descendant.

Although he had dated many girlfriends before, those were just casual flings. He only truly loved Ye Xishui, and after meeting her, he never showed interest in any other woman.

He investigated Yan Shaozhe's deceased father, who was an orphan who was adopted as an infant. Most importantly, by calculating the age of Yan Shaozhe's father, it matched the time of that incident.

This made him suspicious, and he felt he had to get to the bottom of this.

Ye Xishui did not answer directly, but looked at Mu En, whose expression was complicated, and had some guesses in her heart.

"You already knew?"

“I once vaguely sensed a special light power in your body. Years later, I also sensed that power in Shao Zhe. I even went to see Shao Zhe’s father. At that time, I knew that he was your and Xiao Yao’s bloodline.”

Nodding, Moon had already guessed this, but he didn't continue investigating back then, because further investigation would only make him more unhappy.

When did you find out?

Ye Xishui's expression changed, and she guessed that Mu En was probably much smarter than she had imagined, and likely already knew the truth.

"After learning that you were a Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult, I had some suspicions. I originally wanted to go to the Sun Moon Empire to find you, but fate played a trick on me and I couldn't go. I misunderstood you back then, I'm sorry."

After recounting what happened back then, Mu En said sorry at the end, feeling very guilty towards Ye Xishui.

After that incident, he blamed everything on Ye Xishui, kicked her out of the house, leaving her to wander alone and give birth to her child before she was taken away by a powerful member of the Holy Spirit Cult.

It wasn't until later that he realized Ye Xishui was also forced to go to the Sun Moon Empire to search for him. Unfortunately, Du Bisi from the Body Sect came to challenge him. Although he won, he was also seriously injured. He then risked absorbing the Dragon Pill, which further aggravated his injuries, causing him to miss the best opportunity.

He no longer blamed Ye Xishui for what happened back then. He only blamed himself for being too obsessed with Shrek Academy. He fought to the death with Du Bisi in order to protect Shrek Academy's title of number one. If he hadn't fought so hard, he wouldn't have been seriously injured, nor would he have beaten Du Bisi to the point of near death, and he would have also fallen out with the Body Sect.

At that time, he could only stay in the academy to guard it in case the Body Sect suddenly attacked and damaged the academy, and he has been guarding it ever since.

Why couldn't you go?

Staring intently at Mu En, Ye Xishui's previously suppressed memories resurfaced—the darkest and most desperate moment of her life.

She had hoped that Xiaoyao and Mu'en would come to rescue her from the Holy Spirit Cult, but she waited for nothing. Instead, she was insulted by Zhongli the Old Ghost, and even gave birth to a child with him, becoming the current leader of the Holy Spirit Cult.

If Moon had been able to come back then, things definitely wouldn't have turned out that way.

Moon remained silent. He couldn't talk about it, nor was it appropriate for him to; there would be no point in talking about it anyway.

Could it be that he's going to say that back then, between Ye Xishui and Shrek Academy, he favored the academy?

Why didn't you tell me about that child?

Long Xiaoyao was in immense pain and also became somewhat angry with Ye Xishui.

Why not tell him?

What angered him even more was that Ye Xishui had abandoned their child back then and had never taken care of him since. How could there be such a heartless mother in the world?

"How do you expect me to tell you that I am the Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Sect, the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect, and now the Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Sect, and that I have done so many heinous things that I have killed countless people? How am I supposed to explain this to you?"

Should that child become an evil spirit master like me, and then be hated by everyone?

Don't you, as the chief patron, know what the Holy Spirit Cult is?

Even if I told you, what would I gain? Would it make you love me more? Would it make you become a demonic soul master and stay with me forever?

Back when I was at my most desperate, you weren't there for me; our bond was broken long ago.

Suppressing her resentment, Ye Xishui gave a cold laugh, turned to look out the window, and didn't want to face the two men anymore.

She was even more disappointed after seeing the anger in Long Xiaoyao's eyes.

You only think about yourself, did you never think about my situation back then?

Do you think I would willingly send my child away to be raised by others, never to see my child again for the rest of my life?

Is this what you men think?

Haha, even worse than that inhuman thing.

Moreover, after that incident, Long Xiaoyao only remembered his guilt towards Mu En, and then went crazy and ran away to escape, leaving her alone to face Mu En. So why are you still looking for me?

If I hadn't seen your intense love for me back then, would I have made that decision?

I thought you would face this with me, but you ran away instead. You have no sense of responsibility as a man at all!

Faced with a barrage of questions, Long Xiaoyao's expression changed constantly before he finally slumped down on the bed beside him.

At this moment, he could no longer blame Ye Xishui, because it was not her fault; she was also a victim.

Did you ever love me back then?

On the other side, Moon remained silent for a long time before suddenly mustering the courage to ask the question that had been buried in his heart for many years.

He guessed that Ye Xishui had done it on purpose back then, but he didn't know if this woman had ever truly loved him.

"What does it matter if I've loved or not?"

Without turning her head, Ye Xishui replied that she didn't want to talk about what happened back then.

Neither of these two men is reliable. Back when I experienced the darkest and most desperate moment of my life with Old Ghost Zhongli, neither of them showed up. This time, I experienced the most desperate and shameful moment again with that thing, and neither of them showed up.

What use are you two men?

I'd rather work hard on my own.

"I understand."

A smile appeared on Mu En's face. Back then, Xi Shui did love him, but fate played a cruel trick on him. He was too stupid to see the bitterness in the heart of the person he shared a bed with sooner.

"I came to Shrek City to see you this time not to talk about those things from back then, but for you and Shao Zhe."

After calming herself down, Ye Xishui turned around and faced the two men again, but this time she was much calmer.

I must say, although I was driven to the brink of humiliation and indignation by the torment of these past few months, it has been very effective, and my mental state has become much more stable.

In particular, the Tai Chi diagram of good and evil within the Sea of ​​Spirit can further suppress the rampage of the spirit; otherwise, a fierce battle would have already broken out.

That thing is right, the power of maternal love is indeed great, forcing her to come and face Moon.

"Is it because of that person?"

Mu En and the other man's expressions turned serious. They guessed that Ye Xishui's arrival must be related to that person, and that it was even highly suspicious that Ye Xishui was able to escape from that person's clutches. It was very likely that the other party did it on purpose.

"He has his eye on you and Shao Zhe, wanting to use us to uncover the secret of becoming a god on his own. I am his first research target. If he succeeds, at most he will destroy or control me afterward. But if he fails, he will definitely target you and Shao Zhe."

"One of you is Shao Zhe's grandfather, and the other is his teacher. Before he grows up, we must protect him and join forces to eliminate that person."

Having explained the purpose of her visit, Ye Xishui understood that she alone, even with the help of the Holy Spirit Cult, would have no chance of killing that person. Only by joining forces with these two men could she succeed, especially Mu En, who had not only Shrek Academy behind him but also the mysterious and unpredictable Sea God Tang San.

That thing is already invincible in the mortal realm; it requires the help of god-level power.

"He has indeed reached the pinnacle."

Moon's expression grew even more somber, realizing that the worst-case scenario had come true: that person had reached the limits of humanity and had begun plotting to seize divine power.

Once the secret to becoming a god is discovered, it could create a large number of god-level powerhouses, making the situation even worse, and it might even evolve into an era like that of ten thousand years ago.

At that time, Shrek Academy, which is its enemy, will inevitably be destroyed, and the divine decree of the Sea God will be abandoned halfway.

I absolutely cannot let this happen, not only for myself, but also for Shao Zhe, for Shrek Academy, and for Lord Sea God!

"What level of strength has he reached now? How many powerful figures around him are worth paying attention to?"

Long Xiaoyao was also very solemn, with murderous intent surging in his heart.

He already felt guilty for not taking good care of that child, and this time he absolutely couldn't let anything happen to Shao Zhe.

Similarly, I cannot let Moon be harmed by that person; this is something I owe Moon.

"I don't know his strength. I only heard that the elites of the Body Sect came out in full force, but they were all easily suppressed by him. I was easily captured by one of his subordinates. He created a soul tool that allows people to apply their power to a level beyond their own limits."

But what's most terrifying is that he merged the Soul Master system and the Soul Guidance system to create a project called "God-Making Project"...

Ye Xishui revealed all the information she knew. They only had one chance, and they had to set up a foolproof trap.

The more Mu En and Long Xiaoyao listened, the more solemn their expressions became, and the shock they felt was beyond words.

Even though we only heard some of the ideas and didn't know how they were implemented, it was already quite terrifying.

If it succeeds, it might actually create a deity.

How could human wisdom possibly reach that level?

"He truly is a prodigy!"

After hearing Ye Xishui's story, Mu En felt bitter and regretted it once again.

If that incident hadn't happened back then, things wouldn't have turned out this way. They not only pushed a prodigy out of the door, but also made a blood feud with him.

They missed out on a new era that could have been led by Shrek Academy, and now they have to fight against such terrifying prodigies. Even if they win in the end, it will inevitably be a Pyrrhic victory.

You should know that Shrek Academy is the organization that has preserved the most complete history from ten thousand years ago, and even has top-secret information left by the Sea God and the God of Food. They know very well how terrifying those geniuses are.

Even if he has now achieved the level 100 god, he is not confident that he can contend with a prodigy. He will inevitably have to gather all his strength to fight against him, and heavy losses are an inevitable result.

I regret it!

“The Body Sect is known for its vengeful nature. Since they were suppressed by that person, they must harbor resentment. We can win them over.”

After some thought, Long Xiaoyao brought up the Body Sect.

Although we haven't met that person yet, the fact that he was able to help Xu Jinghong break through and create his own soul tool, giving him strength comparable to a level 100 god, is enough to prove how terrifying that person is.

He had created countless powerful figures under his command, and he even wondered if Kong Deming had also broken through to level ninety-nine with that person's help.

Not to mention the powerful figures from the four great empires. They would need to gather even more strength to kill that person, and the Body Sect would be a good choice.

Most importantly, since the Body Sect has fought with that person, they must know some of his methods. Bringing him over would allow them to gather information and prepare in advance.
