A warm smile appeared on Yali’s face. Even though her eyes had lost their prior light, at this very moment, her smile remained as gentle as before.

“You can address me as Grandteacher. Inheriting his Atlas Divine Spear signifies that I’m taking you as my disciple on his behalf. The spear contains his entire legacy.” Yali lifted the Atlas Divine Spear and presented it before Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin gripped the spear shaft as a multitude of feelings surged in his heart. He knelt on the floor and lifted the Atlas Divine Spear in his hands high up into the air.

“I, Tang Wulin, am pleased to formally acknowledge you as grandteacher.” As he spoke, he lifted the Atlas Divine Spear and gave three kowtows to Yali.

Yali’s eyes had long since run out of tears and there was only gratitude left.

“I’ll certainly do my best to see the arrival of that day. I believe that you’ll certainly show me the brilliance that I saw in him back in the beginning at the very moment Shrek is rebuilt.”

“The most painful moment in Yun Min’s lifetime was when the academy was destroyed, but I have never thought that he failed as the Sea God’s Pavilion Master. I’ll always be proud of him. Don’t disappoint the Atlas Spear. I hope that it will help you to become that Atlas jade pillar that holds up the heavens and supports Shrek once again.”

“Yes, grandteacher. I’ll certainly do my best not to disappoint the teacher’s Atlas Divine Spear!”

Yun Ming was Na’er’s teacher once. From this moment onward, he was Tang Wulin’s teacher too.

Tang Wulin stood up once again with his hands holding the Atlas Divine Spear. Lan Muzi walked in front of him with a smile on his face. He took the initiative to speak, “Pleased to meet you, Pavilion Master.”

It was as though the rest of the inner court disciples were being awakened from a dream. They saluted Tang Wulin respectfully in unison. “Pleased to meet you, Pavilion Master.”

Yes, from the moment Tang Wulin received the spear, he was already the new generation’s Sea God’s Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy. He was the representative of Shrek’s true leader.

Long Yeyue smiled and nodded at Tang Wulin. “From this day onward, you’re the rightful person. I have something for you as well.”

As she was speaking, she arrived before Tang Wulin and stretched out her hands to pass him something.

It was a translucent, diamond-shaped crystal. It was blue in color and crystal clear as if there were waves of water rippling inside.

“What’s this…?” Tang Wulin’s eyes were almost instantly attracted to the diamond-shaped crystal. It felt as if there was a great pull coming from inside of it. His vision had just managed to focus when he felt that his spiritual power, which had been able to sense the entire world, was attracted by the crystal and had completely fused into it in a split second.

Everything in the surroundings became quiet. To his astonishment, Tang Wulin found himself inside a sky-blue world.

The sky-blue hue color was boundless. A fish appeared to be a translucent blue color swam past his body. It was as if the entire world was filled with endless life energy.

The sensation was simply amazing. His mind felt completely at ease, as his entire person basked in the thick life source.

The entire process seemed to last for a very long time, but it also felt like it appeared for only a split second. When Tang Wulin returned to the real world once again in a daze, he remained transfixed by the crystal shimmering with otherworldly light in the Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue’s hand.

Tang Wulin raised his head to look at the others. It was as if everybody else had the same feeling as he. Everyone was feeling amazed by the magnificence of this diamond-shaped crystal.

“It’s called the Boundless Universe. It has always been the rare treasure that dominated Sea God’s Pavilion and the academy. The history of its existence goes way back to twenty thousand years ago. It came from the first Sect Master of the Tang Sect, the first leader of the first generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters of Shrek Academy, the Thousand Hands Douluo Tang San.

“There’s no way for us to look back on how Tang San acquired the Boundless Universe so many ages ago. We can only tell that the Boundless Universe played a decisive role in his path to Godhood. In our academy, only Limit Douluo-ranked powerhouses with adequate experience are qualified to experience its mysteries. Through it, one can seek the first step of the path that leads to the Divine Realm.”

“The Boundless Universe crystal is normally housed in the Sea God’s Pavilion. On the day of the catastrophe, the Pavilion Master passed it to me, so that I could act according to the circumstances. Judging by age, I was supposed to be the final person that guarded Shrek at the time. However, he told me that he was duty-bound as the Pavilion Master. Thus, he allowed me, the old woman, to live. Today, I’ll be passing the Boundless Universe crystal to you on his behalf. I hope that you will look to the example he set, guarding every living thing in Shrek and protect the glory of Shrek over thousands of years just like every past Sea God’s Pavilion Master.”

“Yes!” With solemn eyes, Tang Wulin received the Boundless Universe crystal with the utmost respect.

The Boundless Universe crystal felt icy cold, but it had a soft texture. It felt extremely peculiar in his hands, as if it was not solid but more like a piece of jelly.

Long Yeyue spoke in a deep voice, “Next, we shall resume the original plan. Zhangkong, do send over the first batch of students to the Demon Island personally. We’ve already fixed the candidate name list earlier. Wulin, don’t go anywhere for the next three months. Stay and cultivate in the Tang Sect and head to Star Luo and Dou Spirit three months later.

“Yes!” Tang Wulin nodded in agreement.

Long Yeyue’s expression suddenly dimmed. She spoke in somber tones, “Wulin, you’re already the Sea God’s Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy right now. You are the true leader of the academy and also the current Sect Master of the Tang Sect’s, so you must pay more attention to your identity. No matter where you are, you are representing the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. You must never assume the attitude in the past anymore when you’re facing me, Zang Xin or Cao Dezhi. The Tang Sect and Shrek Academy need your aura as a leader, and not the humility of a student or a Tang Sect disciple.”

Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment. He nodded with a bitter smile. Frankly, these two identities came so suddenly and unexpectedly for him that he was still not quite accustomed to them.

Long Yeyue’s serious gaze vanished. “Alright, then we shall resume getting back to our first plan. The specific affairs will still be decided upon by the Sea God’s Pavilion committee.”

Other than Tang Wulin, the group of Shrek Academy members bowed to Long Yeyue in unison.

Tang Wulin was assigned to a single room. His new status was completely different, so, naturally, his room was the best available. His chambers of over two hundred square meters had its own study, bathroom, cultivation room, and even a special forging room. Every need of his was fulfilled.

Tang Wulin returned to the room and headed straight for the meditation room. By the time he sat cross-legged, he was still feeling as if he was in a dream world.

Was it true that he had already become the leader of both the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy? He could even say he was the first person in history ever to be assigned such an identity! Even the two greatest legends of the Tang Sect, the Thousand Hands Douluo Tang San and the Holy Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, had never achieved such a feat before.

He was only just past twenty years old after all. It was utterly impossible for him to not feel proud of himself. The sense of pride aside, he had an even more intense sense of responsibility.

Originally, he had assumed that the Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue still being alive would slightly lighten the burden placed on his shoulders. There was also Teacher Wu. They were capable of bearing the heavy task of rebuilding Shrek Academy, yet it seemed like the heaviest load remained his own. This showed that Elder Long and Teacher Wu valued him very highly, but at the same time it also signified that he was going to bear an even greater burden.

However, he was in a vastly different mood compared to before. At least, he did not feel lonely anymore. Shrek Academy had not been completely destroyed, and its foundations remained within so many of the inner and outer courts’ outstanding students.

In the foreseeable future, they would certainly restore Shrek’s culture and heritage to what it had been when they were all fully developed

At this point, Tang Wulin could not help feeling rather excited. He was even just about ready to let out a great roar into the sky.

Ever since he headed to the Blood God Army back then, he had always been in an extremely depressed and even oppressed mood. How could he not feel depressed when the academy was destroyed and he lost his family? How could those incidents not leave him feeling agonized?

Now, he could finally see a gleam of hope. At least, everything was developing in a good direction. Everything was still possible with the Tang Sect’s culture and heritage, and also the seed left behind by Shrek.

He had even wished that he could achieve more. The act of rebuilding Shrek was definitely not his final goal. After all, the continent remained in the federal government’s control. In the future, he would need to not only rebuild Shrek if it wished to stand aloof once again, but also acquire the entire Federation’s support.

Tang Wulin and his companions would need to confront countless enemies in the future. The Holy Spirit Cult occupied the foremost position, followed by the great forces that supported Hawk Faction, and there was also the Spirit Pagoda that could possibly be the hardest to manage for the threat of their presence was even bigger than the Holy Spirit Cult.
