Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Dragon King

Chapter 1787: Evolution of the Tree of Life

Yu Guanzhi’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, and even Qiangu Dongfeng’s expression changed slightly as he appraised Tang Wulin.

Everyone knew exactly what Eternal Heaven entailed. For an organization, owning such a weapon was essentially like owning a permanent get-out-of-jail-free card!

Qiangu Dongfeng knew that if he were in Tang Wulin’s shoes, he would come up with all types of excuses to placate Yu Guanzhi and would only offer up the missile when there was absolutely no other alternative.

Considering what the Tang Sect had always stood for, he knew that there was a very good chance they would offer up the missile, but he didn’t think that Tang Wulin would be so decisive about it. He didn’t seem to have hesitated at all, nor did he try to delay the decision, and that came as quite a surprise to Qiangu Dongfeng.

After making this decision, Tang Wulin’s expression remained largely unchanged.

He couldn’t afford to hesitate at a time like this. Even the slightest hesitation could afford the abyssal plane and the Holy Spirit Cult an opportunity to invade the continent, resulting in the demise of countless people, and in that situation, he would be indirectly responsible for such a disaster.

Perhaps Eternal Heaven was being put to perfect use on the abyssal plane and the Holy Spirit Cult.

Thus, he had immediately made the decision without much thought.

On the way here, he had already carefully considered how he was going to respond to such a request.

If the Blood River Godslayer Array didn’t exist, he would obviously try to turn down the request, but after witnessing the array’s formidable power, that was no longer an option for him. Perhaps Eternal Heaven really was the only thing that could break the array.

Cao Dezhi gave Tang Wulin a slight nod of approval. He was obviously also very reluctant to hand over Eternal Heaven, but what else could they do?

Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect weren’t like the Spirit Pagoda; they couldn’t be so selfish and only think about themselves.

Besides, how could the Tang Sect and the Shrek Academy continue to exist if the entire continent were to fall?

Yu Guanzhi was clearly deeply moved by this decision, as was Chen Xinjie.

The fact that Eternal Heaven was in the hands of Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect couldn’t be made known to everyone, so Yu Guanzhi could only mention the matter implicitly. In his eyes, Tang Wulin would’ve at least had to go back to discuss the matter with everyone else, but he hadn’t done that.

This was the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy! For the past 20,000 years, they had always stood on the side of justice and morality.

The rest of the meeting quickly passed by, and at the end, Yu Guanzhi and Chen Xinjie asked Tang Wulin and Cao Dezhi to stay behind.

All of the advisors and everyone else had been instructed to vacate the room.

Chen Xinjie and Yu Guanzhi exchanged a glance before both of them suddenly stood up straight and extended a military salute toward Tang Wulin and Cao Dezhi.

“Thank you.” Yu Guanzhi seemed to only be able to barely keep his emotions in check.

As one of the members of the military’s top brass, he knew exactly what Eternal Heaven entailed.

Tang Wulin sighed, “We’re only doing what’s to be expected of us. In the face of such a major crisis, all selfishness must be set aside. There’s no need to thank us; I’ll return to Shrek Academy right away and be back with Eternal Heaven in a day at most.”

Yu Guanzhi said, “If the Tang Sect or Shrek Academy ever needs any favors from myself or my family, feel free to approach me. From now on, the Central Legion will be your closest ally.”

For someone of Yu Guanzhi’s status to make such a declaration indicated that a very large section of the military was going to be supporting Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect from now on.

“That’s also what I wanted to say,” Chen Xinjie said as he appraised Tang Wulin with unadulterated approval in his eyes.

“Yun Ming chose the right successor, and as did you, Old Man Cao. I must admit that I really envy you! From now on, the Battle God Hall and the Sea God Legion will also be close allies of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy.”

In the past, he only had a personal connection with Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect due to his relationship with Long Yeyue, but in the wake of Tang Wulin’s decision to hand over Eternal Heaven, he had chosen to fully side with the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy.

Among the three leading figures in the military, two had already expressed support of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, and this was something that had never happened since the founding of the Douluo Federation.

Tang Wulin said, “Then I’ll be going now. During my absence, I’ll have to trouble you to keep the Blood River Godslayer Array at bay.”

Chen Xinjie nodded in response. “Don’t you worry about that. We may not have enough firepower to destroy the array, but keeping it at bay is not an issue. We’re going to be entering a battle of attrition now. The Blood River Godslayer Array may be extremely powerful, but it most likely requires support from many powerful beings from the Holy Spirit Cult and the abyssal plane. We may not be able to outlast them, but we won’t have any issues in the short term.”

“Alright, I’m going now.” Tang Wulin didn’t delay as he released his greenish-golden soul ring, and his entire body instantly turned a translucent green color. Rich life energy began to emanate from his body, and the entire surrounding area was suddenly filled with vitality as Chen Xinjie and Yu Guanzhi looked on with amazement in their eyes.

They were naturally aware that Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect had some special tricks up their sleeves, and it had been quite shocking for them witnessing Tang Wulin advancing and retreating on the battlefield as he pleased.

However, it was the first time they were seeing this for the first time, and they couldn’t help but wonder if this caliber of life energy was really something that a human could be exhibiting.

Before they had a chance to think about this any further, Tang Wulin had already vanished amid a flash of green light.

“Let’s discuss the battle plan next. Prior to the destruction of the Blood River Godslayer Array, all we can do is hold the fort.”

At the Sea God’s Lake.

Tang Wulin found himself immersed in a warm sensation, and when he opened his eyes, he was already deep underwater.

A light barrier had formed naturally around him to keep the water of the lake at bay, and he was instantly struck by a sense of closeness with the tree of life that stood up ahead.

However, seeing the tree of life gave him quite a shock as the tree had undergone some changes since his departure.

In the past, the trunk of the tree of life hadn’t looked much different from that of a normal tree, but there was a clear difference now.

The entire tree of life was glowing with faint golden light, and this light was surging toward Tang Wulin in the form of rich life energy, warming his entire body. Even the surrounding water of the lake had been illuminated a bluish-golden color.

Furthermore, the tree of life had become even more massive; the top of its canopy was already close to the surface of the lake. Its leaves were also giving off faint golden light, and some of the leaves’ veins seemed to be turning golden.

As the Son of Nature, Tang Wulin was immediately struck by the impression that the tree of life was about to evolve.

Tang Wulin was ecstatic to see this, and he immediately focused on transmitting a question toward it.

The tree of life quickly gave a response, but it wasn’t very clear, indicating that it was currently not in a very lucid state of mind. However, it had definitively told Tang Wulin that it was indeed undergoing evolution, and that the evolution process would be complete once all of its leaves turned golden.
