Chapter 1963 Five Days Is Up
Ten thousand years ago, the Holy Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao attempted to solve this issue when he founded the Spirit Pagoda. His effort was approved by the Beast God Di Tian at the time. However, with the passage of time, the Spirit Pagoda began to deviate and develop in a different direction. At the same time, the inequality of powers between mankind and the soul beasts grew. Subsequently, mankinds greed and lust drove them to oppress the soul beasts even further. By then, the soul beasts were incapable of resisting.
The end result was undoubtedly against the Holy Spirit Douluos wishes. Nonetheless, the mistake had already been made. They would have to face the consequences of their actions.
Mo Lan told the people that they would need to bear the consequences courageously and to confront it directly. In any case, mankind would not be defeated easily.
Once again, she calmed the hearts of the people. At the very least, there would not be a large-scale riot before the onset of the catastrophe caused by the soul beasts.
However, everything would depend on the outcome after the expiration of the five-day period.
Faraway, the nine-colored light cloud in the sky turned bright while a large number of the soul beasts silhouettes descended from the sky. The flying soul beasts, which carried the land soul beasts, landed on the plains in an orderly manner. Their battle formation was organized along the different clans just like mankinds legion.
A number of ten-thousand year soul beasts with powerful abilities were hovering in the air, emitting a ferocious overbearingness.
It had been a long time since so many soul beasts appeared on the Douluo Continent. In fact, the soul masters were even astonished by the appearances of the soul beasts. The last beast tide took place over ten thousand years ago. Currently, the number of soul beasts amounted to over a million. The numbers were definitely higher now than ten thousand years ago.
It was not just the people on the Douluo Continent who needed to thank the abyssal plane, but the soul beasts living in the Ten Thousand Beast Platform too.
It was impossible for so many powerful soul beasts to be born in such a short time by relying on just the Dragon God core and the Ten Thousand Beast Platform.
Da Ming and Er Ming were the foundation for the Ten Thousand Beast Platform while the Dragon God core was its soul. The multiplier effect was due to the Dragon cores replenishment of the life force. The large amount of life force from the abyssal plane paved the way for the Ten Thousand Beast Platform to achieve its scale today.
However, the thousands of soul beasts did not terrify mankind. The soul beasts did not possess the resurrection ability of the abyssal creatures. Mankinds soul technology was capable of resisting such large numbers of soul beasts. In fact, mankind stood a fighting chance.
Nevertheless, the soul technology was lethal to the thousands of soul masters amongst the soul beasts as well. This made it extremely difficult to only target the soul beasts. Besides, there were quite a number of powerful powerhouses amongst them such as the numerous Excellencies from the War God Hall, Shrek Academy, and the Tang Sect. Moreover, the opposing team was commanded by the Silver Dragon Princess who killed the Spirit Monarch in the past.
There were only two contenders who qualified for the most powerful position in the Douluo Continent today. They were the Golden Dragon Moon Song Tang Wulin and the Silver Dragon Dance Qilin Gu Yuena!
They used to fight together against the abyssal Sage King, and they both displayed true God-ranked abilities. No one knew who was the more powerful.
Yet, judging by the situation during the Joust For A Spouse Festival, the Silver Dragon Princess Gu Yuenas abilities surpassed the Dragon Emperor Douluo Tang Wulins.
On the other hand, the beasts were led by the Beast God Di Tian, the Azure Oxpython Da Ming, and the Titan Giant Ape Er Ming. They hovered in the air and gazed into the distance where Shrek Academy was located.
Da Mings and Er Mings gazes were clouded with complicated emotions.
Their relationship with mankind could be considered intimate which was quite rare for the soul beasts. They were close companions and brothers of the Sea God Tang San in the past.
However, they were still soul beasts. Just as Gu Yuena discovered that the soul beasts were close to extinction when she woke up, similarly, they felt depressed when they knew the soul beasts were about to be annihilated. They could only keep a few of the clans heritage in the Ten Thousand Beast Platform.
They used to live in the Divine Realm, so they were well aware of the soul beasts status in the Divine Realm. Soul beasts were completely banned in the Divine Realm! Even Da Ming and Er Ming could only maintain their human forms in the Divine Realm.
The soul beasts were not only treated poorly in the Douluo Continent, they received the same treatment in the Divine Realm!
Hence, they consented to work with the Silver Dragon King without much persuasion from Gu Yuena when she came looking for them with the Dragon God core in her hands. They were hoping for an uprising of the soul beasts in the Douluo Continent.
The opponent whom they were about to fight against was the son of their brother, the Sea God Tang San. They had witnessed the growth of Tang Wulin ever since he was a boy.
Just as Gu Yuena said, she was not destined to be with Tang Wulin due to her identity as the Silver Dragon King. They represented two different, opposing clans. The love between them was destined to be a tragedy.
The misfortune dawned on Tang Wulin five days ago. How many tormented years did Gu Yuena suffer through? She fell in love with him despite knowing very well that she should not have loved him in the first place. The grief she felt had lasted more than five short days. It felt more like countless days and nights.
Regardless of who the victor or the loser was, today was perhaps the beginning and end of the tragedy.
Da Ming and Er Ming regretted their choices. If they knew that the Douluo Continent plane could replenish its life force by devouring the abyssal plane, they would never have consent to work with the Silver Dragon King.
With the absence of the Divine Realm, Tang Wulin would stand on the pinnacle of mankinds world for a few centuries in the future with his current status. He would be able to change mankinds perspective on the soul beasts and to utilize the Ten Thousand Beast Platform in multiplying the number of soul beasts. The soul beasts and mankind might be able to live peacefully with each other in the future.
However, it was already too late to change anything now. They were incapable of controlling the situation at present. Fortunately, they could sense Gu Yuenas perspective after communicating with her. They learned that she was not going to annihilate mankind after all.
The silhouettes shot out from the Spirit Pagoda in succession. They were mankinds powerhouses led by the Spirit Pagoda, the War God Hall, Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect. There were also the military soul masters who had powerful cultivation bases, were seven-ringed, and possessed the ability to fly. They were all hovering in midair.
Their gazes remained dull and blank as before. Apparently, they were incapable of controlling themselves as they were still fully under someone elses influence.
Meanwhile, a large number of light shadows emerged from the direction of the new Shrek City in the distance which rose into the sky.
Within five short days, Mo Lan had mobilized most of the military fighting forces to Shrek to the best of her abilities.
With the Central Army Corps in the lead, the six mecha troops sent out a total of six thousand mechas. The number of black mechas was piteously low among the mecha troops. The vast majority were medium-low grade mechas.
Meanwhile, the mechanized ground troops moved forward slowly in an orderly manner. The armored vehicles equipped with fixed soul ammunition launchers were at the rearguard. The army troops which resembled a steel forest exuded a murderous intent when it appeared on the plain.
Mo Lan was standing on an armored vehicle at the vanguard of the mechanized ground troops. Half her body was exposed.
The federal military was encouraged by her presence!
In five days, three hundred thousand soldiers were gathered here under the emergency mobilization. The three hundred thousand mechanized troops together with the mecha troops would be enough to resist a million soul beasts.
After the mechanized troops were revealed, five silhouettes flew out from the new Shrek City. The silhouette in the center was the Dragon Emperor Douluo Tang Wulin. The four great Limit Douluos, the Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie, the Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue, the Amorous Douluo Zang Xin, and the Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi, were on both sides of him.
There were only five of them, but it was precisely their presence which made the numerous beasts opposite them turn solemn.
