Dragon King of Apocalypse

Chapter 182: Evergreen Shrek

It had taken a while before the golden lights faded away from the valley and across Shrek. Yet even when it faded away, everyone could still feel the warmth and protection that was there before.

Whether it was the workers, the Students of Shrek Academy or those who are coming from the other academies. They were all in shock and reverence from the phenomenon with most of them wondering where it came from.

While others began naming it the Tale of Astrea's, Sea of Lights and countless other names. The teachers and elders were able to recover quickly before they began having the people get back to what they were doing before.

"It's almost over." Said Long Yeyue after feeling the fading golden light across the Sea God Island.

It wasn't just her but everyone else around her who was able to feel the fading lights. And then in a matter of seconds, the light faded away around the valley.

"Is it over?" Questioned Zhou Shi.

"It's done." Tang Wulin's voice rang out as he moved his hand away from the Gold Tree before turning towards them.

"Are you ok?" Questioned Yun Ming after seeing the slightly pale look of Tang Wulin while also examining him with his Spiritual Sense.

Tang Wulin nodded his head before instantly feeling the familiar plants and grass around wrapping around his feet. To his surprise, he could feel them generously lending him some of their vitality and causing his complexion to gradually recover.

"So how much was restored?" Questioned Yun Ming while concealing the shock he felt after sensing the action of nature around them.

"Ten percent." Said Tang Wulin causing the faces of the Sea God Pavillion members to turn grave before sighing.

"I guess it was obvious it couldn't be fully restored." Mutter Zhou Shi with a sigh.

"It does take thousands of years for the energy to be fully restored"Said Elder Cai with a complicated expression.

"I only restored it by ten percent this time. I can get it back to a hundred percent after a week." Said Tang Wulin while rolling his eyes at them causing everyone in front of him to look in surprise.

"You have that much life energy inside of you?" Questioned Yun Ming while this time he couldn't hide his shock.

"More or less." Said Tang Wulin as he didn't feel like answering countless.

"Hm alright." Said Yun Ming with a nod.

"Anyway, you owe me some answers." Said Tang Wulin towards Yun Ming and causing the people around him to be surprised at his words.

Just who was Yun Ming? He was the Sea God Pavillion Master! The Atlas Douluo! The one who was most likely to become a god!

Just how many people would dare treat him without awe or reverence! Yet to their shock not only hasn't Yun Ming gotten mad, but he simply nods before uttering.

"Let's talk somewhere else."

#

They all moved towards the Sea God Pavillion to talk. The other members didn't stay as they moved out to calm down the people on the Sea God Island as the phenomenon before wasn't hidden.

"What do you know so far?" Questioned Yun Ming towards Tang Wulin after they both saw down in a secluded room.

Tang Wulin retold everything that Liu Yuxin told him, which was the world news and the actions of the continent so far. Yun Ming nodded his head after understanding that Tang Wulin knew about the events of the Federation and the Calamities.

"I'm sure you already figured out why they moved to attack." Said Yun Ming with a sigh while propping his chin with a palm.

"More or less." Said Tang Wulin after talking with Zeref and his other Soul Spirits.

The Federation needed to make a move soon or the people of the Douluo Continent would become more agitated. He knew they were smart enough to realize they couldn't keep up the despair and melancholy mood on the continent for too long.

Not only would that empower the Evil Soul Masters but also weaken their overall power. It wasn't wrong to say the Federation was walking on thin ice while on a countdown. They also couldn't allow themselves to look weak after being so humiliated and embarrassed.

"But they still choose to fight beings who were known as Gods? They should have records and a higher understanding of their power."Said Tang Wulin as he knew both the Federation and Spirit Pagoda had Qusai-God Soul Masters.

A Qusai-God could be considered one step or close to the level of a God. They were people who are or have been closing in the path of the deities. Even if they haven't become on yet, they should at least be able to infer and theorize the Calamities overwhelming might.

"You are right. But that doesn't matter towards the people when they are being blinded by rage."Said Yun Ming with a sigh before placing a pile of paper in front of them.

"These are the true state of all of the organizations, that I was able to compile after we all met up a month ago." Said Yun Ming before sliding them towards Tang Wulin.

As Tang Wulin begins reading through them, with Zeref, Yggdrasil, and Sleipnir also read beside him. Their faces began changing as they now fully understand why some of these organizations, especially the Spirit Pagoda was so insistent on attacking the Calamities.

The Spirit Pagoda Master Qiangu Dongfeng seems to have lost one of his limbs after the surprise attack of the Calamities. Fortunately, he was able to have it regrow from the help of Yali and other healing soul masters.

Yet it didn't end there, as it seems that three of the Great Spiriters of the Spirit Pagoda master had died. Twenty-four of the elders were killed, with the rest of the people inside were dead or crush by the rubbles.

Not only that but some of the Qiangu family members that were inside of the Pagoda at the time were brutally crushed and killed by the shockwave of the attack. Then there the report on the Federation and the Tang Sect, with some of their key members dying.

Then it goes into full detail about other details that were missed in the world report. With some of them causing Tang Wulin to truly understand why the people of the Douluo continent couldn't let go of their anger.

Countless technology was destroyed, with two of the God-Ranked weapons being destroyed and only one of them remaining. Even the new technology that the Federation was working on was destroyed and most of the mechas also joining the destruction.

"At the moment, all three of these organizations are a shell of their former glory. If it wasn't for the restoration of the Gold Tree, we would probably be similar to them."Said Yun Ming before shaking his head.

"If we hadn't pressured and threatened the heads of these organizations, they would have all went to mount an attack." Said Yun Ming with a sigh, as he had to go as far as to say all of Shrek would annihilate the Federation and all those involved in the attack.

He knew that this would increase the tension between them and most likely paint a bad image of Shrek. But from the words of Tang Wulin, the actions of the Calamities and previous records about the Gods themself. The army wouldn't even have been able to last a minute under the assault of Fafnir.

Tang Wulin said nothing as he began falling in thought. He didn't say anything for a while before shifting his gaze to Yun Ming.

"I have a plan to kill the Calamities." Said Tang Wulin causing Yun Ming eyes to slightly widen.

The plan was originally mentioned by Zeref back when they came back from the Demon Island or a part of it at least. It seems Zeref was able to gain some inspiration and insights from the Demon Island.

"You do?" Questioned Yun Ming after a few seconds.

"Yes, but it will need the full support of Shrek and the other organizations. Which means I need you to invite them all."Said Tang Wulin.

"...What exactly is your plan?"Questioned Yun Ming with his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Don't worry, I will tell you. As it involves the help of the Gold Tree and some other things. But for now, can you tell me if you can get them to meet here in Shrek?"Questioned Tang Wulin while tapping his fingers on the table.

"Fortunately you're in luck, as we're having a meeting here in three months. As the members of these organizations are still unsatisfied with being recalled."Said Yun Ming causing Tang Wulin to nod his head.

"Alright, here's the plan."

#

The next day, as the morning sun rose into the sky. Tang Wulin was standing before the Gold Tree with all of his Soul Spirits except for Taotie beside him. As Taotie was still in her deep sleep but fortunately he could tell she was close to awakening.

"Do we really need this?" Questioned Tang Wulin towards Yggdrasil and Sleipnir.

"It's needed if we're going to fight the Calamities, as this will increase the chance of slaying them if we went with Zeref plan." Said Sleipnir after receiving a nod from Yggdrasil and Zeref acknowledgment.

"I understand that part...But can I gain its help from just meditating?"Questioned Tang Wulin to arched brow.

"Of course not. But you have my daughter and me here to help you."Said Yggdrasil with a delighted giggle before moving towards Tang Wulin head.

"Don't worry, we will slowly help and guide you." Said Sleipnir with a pleasant smile before walking towards Tang Wulin.

"We will look out for you. Leviathan will tell anyone that tries to come to leave."Said Zeref while glancing at the enormous snake who was coiling all around Tang Wulin.

"Don't worry daddy! I will make sure no one comes near or harms you!" Said Leviathan in a cheery voice causing Tang Wulin lips to twitch.

What they were trying to do or more specifically what Sleipnir and Yggdrasil wanted him to do was to get the help of Nature itself. As even though Tang Wulin was beloved by nature itself, he didn't have much control or training in understanding them.

This was why Sleipnir and Yggdrasil wanted him to use the next three months to not only unlock more of Goddess of Life bloodline but increase his connection with nature itself. This would mean he would have to pause his cultivation and the training of most of his techniques.

As this was more of him being patient and finding out more about himself. It was neither something that could be rushed or finished in one go.

They also had another agenda, which was getting the help of the plane itself. Sleipnir and Yggdrasil had a special connection with the power of the planes, as they could similarly utilize it like a Planar Lord.

Just what was a planar lord? A Planar lord was, in a nutshell, the ruler and overseeing of a world similar to the Douluo Star. They are the ones who help limit outsiders from coming and also the ones who control the laws of the world.

With the help of the Planar, Tang Wulin would be able to influence the world to limit the strength of the Calamities. While also receiving aid from it, from them boosting his soul power to them allowing an easier time unlocking his bloodline.

Of course, this was the plan but of course, plans like these are tricky to do and complete. As Tang Wulin must first begin to understand a bit of the Seven-Colored Laws and what it was.

"Well, let's begin." Mutter Tang Wulin before adopting a meditative position.

"Don't worry, we will guide you." Said Sleipnir before connecting her noble forehead with Tang Wulin's own.

And then, they were bathed in multi-colored lights as vines sprouted from around them before gently wrapping around Tang Wulin arms.
