The Legend of the Dragon King

He built the main academic building on his own. It was the symbol of Shrek Academy’s reconstruction.

He arrived very early on this day, almost the same time as Old Chen the sweeper. In fact, Yi Zichen was not even out jogging at this time.

“Actually, you don’t need to care too much,” Chen Xinjie said to Tang Wulin as he held the broom.

Tang Wulin shook his head. “We will still need to follow rules since we’re living in this world. Moreover, Shrek needs to maintain its usual neutrality as is tradition. We can’t change that just because of me alone. Moreover, you have to allow me to retire after making my mark! Look at yourself. Didn’t you go from the War God Hall to our Shrek Academy and become our Old Chen the sweeper?”

Chen Xinjie spoke in a grim tone, “A gentleman does not censure people behind their backs.”

Their eyes met and they could not help bursting into laughter.

Tang Wulin said, “I give myself ten years’ time. I need to relax properly and I need to build a real home that belongs to me. Shrek and the Tang Sect will still be my homes and I can still return whenever I choose.”

Chen Xinjie’s gaze focused ever so slightly for a moment. “What happens ten years later? Are you preparing to…”

Tang Wulin nodded in determination. “Ten years later, I’m going to begin to try it out. I don’t know how much time I will need either, but I will be working hard in that direction. If I succeed, I’ll certainly guide you in.”

Chen Xinjie chuckled. “That’s not important anymore. Everything that I have now, I didn’t earn it. Every day that I spend living and being with Yeyue is a gift to me from above. I dare not ask for more.”

Truthfully, Tang Wulin did not yearn to become a god. This was because he was already living the life that he dreamed of.

He had already figured out how to resign from all of his duties. The Tang Sect and Shrek were thriving, and Mo Lan was promoted to speaker. The Holy Spirit Cult was exterminated, and the issue with the abyss had been completely solved as well. It could be said that the entire Douluo Continent was prosperously growing. His duties had been thoroughly taken care of.

Personally, he did not have too many reasons to become a God. It was just that the Divine Realm would need to be constructed. Otherwise, he would not be able to look for his parents. He needed to be more powerful because he understood that this was the only way he would be able to sense his parents’ existence.

Although his divine consciousness was no longer weak, he had already attempted to sense his parents’ existence through the Sea God’s Trident on multiple occasions and got no response.

The only clue left behind by his father was that the Douluo Divine Realm was churned into a black hole. The Douluo Continent’s knowledge of the cosmos was still far from adequate. In fact, Tang Wulin did not even have the slightest idea as to what a black hole was.

Waiting was an option for him, of course, but he hoped that he could take some initiatives through his hard work.

In any case, the act of establishing a Divine Realm was definitely not an easy feat. Let alone lacking in experience, Tang Wulin did not have the slightest idea on what he had to do. He planned to wait until he married Gu Yuena and enjoyed a period of wedded bliss before he would discuss with her how to attempt it. After all, the Douluo Continent plane was in an evolutionary process. They would need to consider this and gradually decide whether they would elevate the Douluo Star to God rank by relying on the abyssal plane’s energy or establish a small Divine Realm of its own.

He and Gu Yuena were considered the only people on the path toward the Real God rank mentioned by the Demon Empress earlier.

Speaking of the Demon Empress, Tang Wulin had no choice but to acknowledge that one of the people that had been resurrected would qualify.

All the evil soul masters from Holy Spirit Cult were deceased. However, a person that was related to them was resurrected. It was precisely Lan Fozi.

Lan Fozi casted a sad glance at Tang Wulin after she was resurrected then she fled into the distance, leaving behind a desolated departing silhouette. This made Tang Wulin realize that though she was the daughter of the Demon Empress, she had never committed any evil deeds.

“Elder Chen, I’m leaving,” Tang Wulin said to Chen Xinjie next to him with a grin.

Chen Xinjie smiled and said, “Leaving now? You really don’t need us to cheer for you from over here?”

Tang Wulin said smilingly, “No need, no need. This is the matter between me and her. We will invite everyone for the wedding.”

“Alright. All the best to you. Don’t get rejected by her, hah-hah,” Chen Xinjie said jokingly.

Tang Wulin chuckled and said, “How can that be? How can I possibly do this without having the confidence?” As he spoke, he patted his chest confidently before leaping into the air.

Far away, the sun was slowly rising in the sky, shining its brilliance over the land. It felt as if Tang Wulin’s entire body was tainted with a layer of gold when he flew into the sky.

Tang Wulin sensed the air surrounding him. He had never noticed how freeing and jubilant he felt when he was flying.

“Gu Yue, here I come,” Tang Wulin muttered to himself. Flares gushed out from behind him. With a dazzling radiance, he flew straight toward the Spirit Pagoda like a golden meteor.

He did not try to conceal himself. Hence, his presence could be clearly seen whether it was from the ground or through the myriad of reconnaissance soul devices and even the soul satellites in the sky.

On the top floor of Shrek Academy, Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan sat side by side on the roof’s edge. Xu Xiaoyan said, “Zhengyu, why do you think the captain won’t allow us to join him, huh?! I thought a proposal must be especially grand with friends and family around to give blessing?”

Yue Zhengyu chuckled and said, “Big brother must have his own ideas. He told us that we’ll be organizing the wedding together, right? It’s going to be a bustling crowd by then. A proposal should be between two people, so he’s doing it alone.”

“What do you mean by organizing together? Have you proposed to me already?” Xu Xiaoyan asked with an unpleasant tone.

Yue Zhengyu turned over his palm. A ring appeared on his palm as if he was performing a magic trick. “Xiaoyan, it’s just the two of us here now. Marry me, will you?”

Xu Xiaoyan was exasperated. “So this is how you propose to me? So carelessou? Hmph!”

Yue Zhengyu said smilingly, “Look at this. We are watching the rising sun and we are basking in the aura that is filled with vitality and brilliance under its illumination. We are on the rooftop of Shrek Academy. Everything here at this very moment is one of a kind. My love for you is also one of a kind. Formality is a construct. What else can compare to my sincere love for you? Am I right?”

Xu Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment. She looked at his sincere gaze. Even though she still felt that it was strange, she nodded instinctively.

They had been together for such a long time already and they had experienced so many things as a couple. After Shrek was destroyed, they shared the agonizing experience and process before they rebuilt it to what it was today under the leadership of Tang Wulin. They had also finally grown up to be the pillars of the generation at Shrek Academy.

They had both become Hyper Douluos after receiving the Ancient Life Tree’s life force. Moreover, they would certainly be able to achieve Limit Douluo rank in the future. There was no doubt that this generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters was the most glorious generation besides the first generation which had achieved Godhood.

Xu Xiaoyan’s charming face blushed and she pouted her red lips. “Alright then!” As she was speaking, she raised her little hand.

Yue Zhengyu’s smile appeared as splendid as a Light Angel under the illumination of sunlight. He slipped the ring in his hand onto Xu Xiaoyan’s finger, and their bodies trembled ever so slightly.

They had experienced so many hardships, and they could finally be together. From the moment the ring was put on, they were one.
