The atmosphere on the Shrek Academy training ground was so tense it felt as if even the air had frozen solid.
Xiao Wu’s resolute declaration of “Impossible!” made everyone snap to attention.
“Xiao Wu, what do you mean by that?” Oscar was the first to react, his brow furrowed tightly.
“Even though Chen Yu is only four years old, didn’t the Heavenly Screen say he can cultivate Inner Force and even improve Cultivation Techniques?
Weren’t all those people in the live stream saying he could Ascend to Godhood?” Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun nodded repeatedly.
Although they were completely unfamiliar with that ancient era, and Chen Yu was just a child from a tribe, they had to admit that the talent he displayed was truly astonishing.
Xiao Wu placed her hands on her hips, a hint of cunning flashing imperceptibly in her large eyes before they turned exceptionally firm.
“What do you all know?
I’m saying, Ascending to Godhood isn’t that easy!” She paused, seeing everyone staring at her, and thought to herself.
She was a 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit who had taken human form.
If a figure like Chen Yu had truly Ascended to Godhood, it would have been an earth-shattering event.
How could there be no record of it at all in the legends?
And there was no deity named Belial either!
This reasoning felt rock-solid in her mind, but she couldn’t directly reveal she was a Soul Beast, so she changed her approach.
“Think about it.
If Chen Yu really could Ascend to Godhood, then he would definitely be a major figure!
But in the legends of our Douluo Continent, is there any mention of the name Chen Yu?
None at all!
Not even a trace!
So he definitely couldn’t have Ascended to Godhood.
At most, he was just a somewhat powerful Spirit Master.” “So that’s it!” Yu Xiaogang, standing nearby, seemed to have grasped a lifeline.
He immediately straightened his back and began to show off his “erudition.” “Xiao Wu is right!” Yu Xiaogang nodded, wearing an inscrutable expression.
“Based on my research into ancient legends and historical texts, there is indeed no record of a deity named Chen Yu, nor one named Belial.
Since his name is absent from historical records, it naturally follows that he could not have Ascended to Godhood.
This Whale Glue matter might truly just be a misunderstanding.” Hearing this, the Shrek Seven Devils, along with teachers like Flender, had a sudden realization.
Meanwhile, high-ranking officials in places like the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, the Pope’s Hall in Spirit Hall City, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were also holding emergency discussions through various channels.
“Investigate!
Immediately search through all the ancient texts in the sect for any clues about Chen Yu!” After a round of urgent inquiries, the leaders of the major powers reached the same conclusion as Yu Xiaogang—there was simply no such person as Chen Yu in the legends.
Bibi Dong’s expression was complicated.
Although some had previously claimed Chen Yu could Ascend to Godhood, she hadn’t believed it.
But after Chen Yu himself declared his intention to become a deity, she had felt a pang of unease.
How could someone who set such a lofty ambition from childhood ever be ordinary, especially a prodigy like Chen Yu with such monstrous comprehension?
Fortunately, the information now confirmed it was all false.
Bibi Dong felt this way, and so did Qian Renxue.
As for Ning Fengzhi, although he differed from Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue—he actually hoped Chen Yu could Ascend to Godhood—he also found no information about Chen Yu.
Helplessly, he could only once again place the heavy burden of evolving the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul upon Ning Rongrong.
However, with the vast wealth and resources of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, they did not stop purchasing Whale Glue because of this.
…
Meanwhile, deep within the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Since being startled awake by the Heavenly Screen broadcast half a year ago, the Fierce Beasts of the Land of Great Misfortune had gathered together to discuss the contents of the broadcast.
“Hmph, humans are truly foolish.” A massive golden bear snorted disdainfully, its voice rumbling like thunder.
“That little brat named Chen Yu is only four years old?
And he wants to Ascend to Godhood?
It’s absolutely laughable!” The Ten Thousand Demon King, Red King, Purple Ji, and the other Fierce Beasts nodded in agreement.
“Exactly.
Mere humans can only reach the peak of Titled Douluo at best, yet they dare dream of Ascending to Godhood?
They’re not afraid of tripping over their own tongues.” The Fierce Beasts sneered at the comments from the “passersby” in the live stream, believing humans were always delusional about achieving greatness overnight.
As Fierce Beasts with long lifespans, they knew well who had Ascended to Godhood throughout history.
However, at the highest point of the area, a man in human form with a pair of enormous black dragon wings wore an unusually solemn expression.
He was the supreme ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Beast God Di Tian.
Unlike the mockery of the other Fierce Beasts, Di Tian’s expression carried a hint of gravity.
His deep dragon eyes seemed capable of piercing through the barrier of twenty thousand years of time.
“Silence.” Di Tian’s voice was not loud, but it carried an overwhelming pressure that instantly silenced all the Fierce Beasts.
“Di Tian,” Bear Lord looked toward him.
Di Tian slowly spoke, his voice low and powerful.
“Do you still believe it was merely a simple illusion?” He paused, his gaze sweeping over the Fierce Beasts below as he continued slowly.
“Transcending time and space, broadcasting with precision.
Even the God Kings of the Divine Realm might not be capable of such accuracy and flawless execution.
The power behind this far exceeds your imagination.” Upon hearing this, all the Fierce Beasts were shocked.
Even God Kings couldn’t achieve this?
Then what exactly was this Heavenly Screen?
Di Tian continued, “Since the Heavenly Screen can present the scenes from that world to us without any flaws, it proves that world’s existence is real.
And that human named Chen Yu…” A glint flashed in his eyes.
“Since the Heavenly Screen chose him, it means he is absolutely extraordinary.” “Cross-temporal live streaming?
Even God Kings can’t do it?” Bear Lord was still puzzled.
“Then who created this Heavenly Screen?” Di Tian fell silent for a moment, a startling speculation flashing through his mind.
“Perhaps,” Di Tian’s voice grew somewhat distant, “Chen Yu is not from our world at all.” “What?
Not from this world?” Bear Lord was completely bewildered.
“Then where is he from?” Di Tian shook his head.
He did not provide a definitive answer, but this sent a chill down the spines of all the Fierce Beasts.
Bear Lord and the others knew that Di Tian was no ordinary Soul Beast—he had descended from the Divine Realm.
Just as the Fierce Beasts fell into deep thought, Di Tian suddenly shifted the topic, his tone turning stern.
“Regardless of where he comes from or whether he can Ascend to Godhood, the appearance of the Heavenly Screen means our world is about to undergo tremendous changes.
By my command, all Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts must heighten their vigilance and closely monitor the movements of the human world!” “Yes!” Faced with such a monumental shift, Di Tian had no choice but to summon all the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
…
Back at Shrek Academy, the debate continued unabated.
Although Xiao Wu and Yu Xiaogang’s “legend theory” temporarily suppressed the “ascension to godhood theory,” everyone’s curiosity about the Whale Glue remained undiminished.
“If it’s not for ascending to godhood, then why did Chen Yu buy this Whale Glue?” Ma Hongjun held the black lump in his hand, turning it over and examining it, only to find it foul-smelling and unpleasant.
“Who cares?
Anyway, Chen Yu is so smart—he must have his reasons.” Oscar shrugged.
Tang San remained silent nearby, but his mind was racing.
He had a vague feeling that things weren’t so simple.
The appearance of the Heavenly Screen itself defied common sense, and Chen Yu’s behavior was full of peculiarities at every turn.
If what Xiao Wu said was true, and Chen Yu couldn’t ascend to godhood, then what was the purpose of the Heavenly Screen’s existence?
Just then, Flender suddenly remembered something and said, “By the way, didn’t Chen Yu’s tribe mention earlier that they were planning to migrate south and deal with some kind of Beast Tide?” “Beast Tide?” Everyone was startled.
“Yeah, maybe the Whale Glue is used to deal with Soul Beasts?” Ning Rongrong guessed.
“Deal with Soul Beasts?” “Could it be used to mask scents?” “Possibly!
This smell is certainly strong enough!” Ma Hongjun pinched his nose and laughed.
“But there’s no need to specifically buy something for that!” Under normal circumstances, the feces of powerful Soul Beasts would suffice.
Meanwhile.
Chen Yu and the rest of the Black Rhinoceros Tribe were all advancing toward the Soaring Dragon Mountain Range in the south.
Although the Soaring Dragon Mountain Range also had powerful dragon-type Soul Beasts, it wasn’t like the Far North, a place lacking food, so there wouldn’t be any so-called Beast Tide.
And the Beast Tide from the Far North wouldn’t dare approach the Soaring Dragon Mountain Range.
On the journey south, Chen Yu suddenly shuddered, feeling refreshed and invigorated, with even his mental strength growing stronger.
Indeed, every four days, my mental strength increases, especially when I engage in special actions—then the boost is even greater.
Having been in this world for four years, Chen Yu had long since discovered his golden finger and had begun to understand and utilize it.
