Star Dou Great Forest, the Core Area.
If [Baili Du] didn’t want to be found, no one in this World could discover him.
Not even those Vicious Beasts with their incredibly sharp noses.
Without alerting any Spirit Beasts, he just stood there quietly, gazing at the lake before him.
The lake wasn’t very large; one could see the opposite shore at a glance.
The surface of the lake was as smooth as a mirror.
The pale green water resembled a piece of the most beautiful natural jade, shimmering with a green light full of life.
Around the lake, towering ancient trees pierced the clouds.
A faint mist drifted over the water, and the moist air carried the unique fragrance of plants.
Here, the aura of life was palpable, with a vitality at least several times stronger than that of the outside World.
It was like the cradle of life itself, as if all the creatures of the Star Dou Great Forest were nurtured here.
“The Lake of Life…
It really has been a long time…”
The lake he saw was the holiest Water of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest, which had nurtured all the living things within it.
This is good stuff!
Although it’s of no use to him now, it will be of great benefit to the current Huo Yuhao!
Squatting down, he used a large leaf to gently scoop up a handful.
The emerald-green liquid sparkled like jade, radiating a dense aura of life.
However, as if remembering something, [Baili Du]’s expression turned a bit strange, and his movements actually hesitated for a moment.
Others might not know, but how could he not?
This Water of Life was formed from the life energy dissipated by life gold, and it served as a great tonic for any living creature.
But…
this also seemed to be the bathwater of his sister-in-law, the recognized number one beauty of the Douluo Continent and half of the Dragon God, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena?
[Baili Du] looked at the lake water in the large leaf with a strange expression.
He had even drunk it back then…
should he give it to his current self to drink now?
Shaking his head to dispel this bizarre thought, [Baili Du]’s gaze sharpened, his eyes turning into a substantial gold.
His vision pierced through the Lake of Life and landed on the giant silver dragon sleeping in the space at the bottom of the lake.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
“Sister…
in-law, it’s been a long time since we last met.”
The giant dragon lay on the ground in a comfortable position, sleeping soundly.
Her silver dragon scales were as crystal clear as gems, possessing a peculiar beauty.
Even the terrifying cracks upon them did not diminish this beauty; instead, they added a touch of fragile grace.
Baili Du used his Divine Sense to carefully examine the Silver Dragon King’s injuries, and he was shocked.
He knew the Silver Dragon King had been recovering, but he didn’t expect the injuries to be so severe!
Right now, she probably hasn’t even reached the level of a God Officer.
No wonder the Silver Dragon King hasn’t emerged in this era.
In terms of direct combat power, she is currently inferior even to Di Tian.
He had also struggled to emerge from the [Space-Time Turbulence] and the [Reincarnation Hurricane].
But in terms of Peak strength and physical toughness, he was a [Half-Step Supreme God King] at the time, stronger even than the Golden Dragon King back then.
Although he had been weakened to his current state as a Second Class God, at least his strongest Divine Sense remained intact.
Unlike the Silver Dragon King, whose mental force had regressed to the level of mortal spiritual sense.
Looking at his still-sleeping sister-in-law, [Baili Du] couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh.
That kid Tang Wulin really has good luck (he said sarcastically).
If it weren’t for Gu Yuena, that kid would have been torn to pieces by Di Tian and the others long ago…
Then what “Ten-Thousand-Year Plan” would Tang San be playing?
His own son would have just dropped dead on the spot.
From the perspective of a leader, Gu Yuena is absolutely and utterly unqualified.
But from the perspective of a lover, she is countless times better than Tang Wutong.
To be frank, if the twelve-year-old Huo Yuhao had seen the true faces of both the [Silver Dragon Princess] and the [Goddess of Light] that year, he definitely wouldn’t have lingered on the [Goddess of Light] for even half a second.
Thinking this, [Baili Du] shook his head.
It was just a pity that he and Gu Yuena really had no common topics, even though they were both people whose entire lives had been schemed against by Tang San.
Suddenly, [Baili Du] felt very bitter and distressed.
He still remembered the scene after Di Tian was resurrected by Lan Xuanyu in the [Dragon God Realm].
He had thought it would be a long-awaited reunion between old friends, but the result was…
at that time, Tang San had already committed suicide to accompany his scabbard, Xiao Wu, in death.
The Tang Clan’s highest combat power was Lan Xuanyu.
Backed by this Lord Dragon God, Di Tian, along with the other Vicious Beasts who were still alive as Spirit Souls, such as Brigitte and Zi Ji, all joined in accusing Huo Yuhao.
There was no need to accuse him of anything else; the fact that the Spirit Pagoda founded by Huo Yuhao became the ultimate culprit in the destruction of Spirit Beasts was enough for these Vicious Beasts to stand on the moral high ground and berate him…
No one thought that perhaps you had saved them; people only hate those who take away hope and confidence…
Then Gu Yuena, the former Lord of Spirit Beasts, joined in.
Since Gu Yuena was there, Tang Wulin had no reason not to join…
After all, the Spirit Pagoda and the Holy Spirit Cult had single-handedly orchestrated the operation to destroy Shrek and the Tang Sect.
In their eyes, [Ice-Spirit Douluo Huo Yuhao], the founder of the Spirit Pagoda, was to blame.
Huo Yuhao also wanted to defend himself, wanting to say things like “at least the Spirit Soul technology preserved the intelligence of many Spirit Beasts,” but soon even his wife, the Butterfly God Tang Wutong, joined the ranks of her brother and sister-in-law, even saying things like, “You shouldn’t have created the Spirit Pagoda back then; how good would it have been to just focus on developing the Tang Sect in peace?”
Powerless to refute, he could only take all the blame upon himself.
Shortly after, the Spirit Pagoda was merged into Shrek Academy and disappeared from the history of the Douluo Continent.
A major source of the Power Of Faith that originally belonged to the Emotion God King Huo Yuhao vanished.
He could only share the Power Of Faith of [Shrek] and the [Tang Sect] with three generations of the Tang family.
But as one might imagine, how much Power Of Faith could Huo Yuhao, who didn’t have the surname [Tang], actually receive…
From then on, Spirit Soul technology was also completely controlled by Shrek Academy.
It could be said that Shrek Academy in that era completely dominated the Spirit Master’s world through the two channels of [Education] and [spirit power Upgrading].
Combined with the Tang Sect, which was already in cahoots with them, the so-called Douluo Federation existed in name only.
Because all the high-ranking officials of the Douluo Federation graduated from Shrek Academy, choosing between the [Federation] and the [Academy] was not a difficult task for them…
[Baili Du] took a deep breath.
The self that could still live was no longer Dai Yuhao, no longer that weak and incompetent Dai Yuhao!
If Gu Yuena really stood before him in the future to stop his revenge, he would not hesitate to swing the scythe in his hand at this number one beauty of the Douluo Continent.
Ultimately, everyone in the Tang family and everyone who stood on their side were his enemies.
[Baili Du] stood up and left with the simple cup filled with the Water of Life, muttering to himself, “I will do what needs to be done in this era, but if you Spirit Beasts still end up like that in the end, you really can’t blame me…”
His figure vanished from the Core Area as if he had never been there…
A long time later.
Within that dark and gloomy silver space, a pair of giant purple vertical pupils slowly opened…
