Chapter 175 Fate Perception: Moon's Death
Leaving behind the biting winds of the far north, Dai Youheng and his group entered the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire. As they traveled south, traversing a dense forest, Dai Youheng suddenly stopped and instinctively clutched his forehead.
A strange and vague tremor surged from the depths of his soul, as if some invisible thread had been plucked.
Immediately afterwards, two brief but incredibly clear images, like shattered dreams, forcefully flooded into his mind!
The first image depicts a dazzling golden tree radiating boundless life energy, tightly entwined and enveloped by a majestic and sacred phantom dragon, its entire body seemingly solidified from light. The dragon and the tree appear to be one, exuding a tragic yet eternal aura.
The second image shows a dark dragon that resembles the Holy Dragon of Light but is entirely black and exudes a profound aura of death and destruction. It is in a tense standoff with several figures with extremely powerful auras. The atmosphere is tense and ready to erupt at any moment!
The image flashed by in an instant, but the information it contained shocked Dai Youheng.
"The Holy Dragon of Light and the Holy Dragon of Darkness—Moun and Long Xiaoyao?" He murmured to himself, instantly realizing the source of this sudden perception: the power of destiny he had traded from the Emperor Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden-Faced One!
He needs this power in order to maintain as much of the advantage as a time traveler.
That's foresight in terms of plot.
The so-called butterfly effect means that his entry into this world will inevitably cause huge changes in the plot. The general direction may be similar, but some parts may be completely different. That's why Dai Youheng needs this power so that he can sense the occurrence of certain events at crucial moments.
Just like Huo Yuhao in the original work, he relied on the power of fate to foresee the future, which allowed him to escape a crisis during the great battle where the Body Sect attacked Mingde Hall and obtain the Snow Emperor's embryo.
"Young Master, what's wrong?" The perceptive Nana immediately noticed Dai Youheng's unusual behavior and stepped forward to ask with concern. Ling Ya also cast an inquiring glance his way.
Dai Youheng slowly lowered his hand, his expression solemn, and said in a deep voice, "Just now, I sensed—Mu En is dead."
"Mu En?" Ling Ya first felt the name sounded familiar, then suddenly remembered something, his expression changed drastically, "Young Master, are you talking about Mu En, the Sea God Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy, the Dragon God Douluo? That Limit Douluo!"
"That's right, it was him." Dai Youheng nodded firmly, his eyes flashing with fragments of information brought by the power of fate. "Just now, his life came to an end. However, he did not completely dissipate—"
Based on the images and information he perceived, he deduced, "He seems to have used some kind of secret method to fuse his soul with the golden tree of Shrek Academy. Otherwise, with the foundation of at least three 100,000-year-old soul bones in his body, his soul bones would have separated from his body and shone brightly when he fell, instead of being as silent as he is now."
His tone carried a complex mix of emotions. "He knew all too well that without him, the Limit Douluo, to hold the fort, Shrek Academy would struggle to cope with the threats from the Body Sect, the Mingde Hall, and even the evil soul masters. So, he gave up the chance to return to heaven and earth and reincarnate, choosing instead to use his soul bone as a vessel for his soul power and soul, completely merging it into the Golden Tree. With this remnant soul, he would protect Shrek Academy for another hundred years of peace. Regardless of how the outside world judges his character, his love for Shrek Academy was truly profound."
Upon hearing this, Ling Ya's eyes instantly blazed with intense light. "Young Master, do you mean that as long as we can find a way to sever his connection with the Golden Tree, we can bring back his precious soul bones, including those three 100,000-year-old soul bones?"
"Theoretically, that's true." Dai Youheng glanced at him, his tone regaining its composure. "But now is definitely not the time. Not to mention that Shrek Academy's inner court is still full of experts, and the Sea God Pavilion's foundation remains intact. Just rashly taking away the legacy of a Limit Douluo who has dedicated so much to the academy is enough to make us an enemy of the continent. Our current strength is far from enough to break ties with the entire Shrek Academy and even the network of relationships behind it, so I have no interest in his soul bone for the time being."
He changed the subject, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes, "However, another scene I just saw is even more interesting, concerning that Dark Holy Dragon, Long Xiaoyao."
"Dark Holy Dragon Long Xiaoyao?" Nana exclaimed again. This top expert, who was on par with Mu En, also had a name that resounded throughout the continent.
"Hmm." Dai Youheng's lips curled into a meaningful smile. "It seems that some interesting scenes are about to unfold around him."
He didn't elaborate on what he saw, but he already had a plan in mind. He still needed to carefully strategize the god of laziness's "two-year dream," but this "sitting back and watching the successes and failures, reaping the rewards without lifting a finger" approach—
"Let's go," Dai Youheng said, regaining his composure. "We'll first detour to check on Mother and Luo Li to make sure they're safe. After that, we'll return to Xingluo City at full speed. Xu Jiujiu must be worried sick after being away for so long."
"As for the matter concerning the Black and White Twin Holy Dragons—" His eyes gleamed with wisdom and calculation.
He already had a preliminary idea in mind. Perhaps this was the first step towards his "easy win".
Although Lingya and Nana didn't fully understand their young master's specific plan, seeing his confidence, they immediately replied respectfully, "Yes, young master!"
Three days later, Dai Youheng and his group arrived at Maple Leaf City, a major town located on the border between the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Sun Moon Empire. Once they passed through this city, they could quickly return to the Star Luo Empire. They chose to rest temporarily at a rather luxurious hotel in the city, preparing to set off early the next morning.
As fate would have it, when they checked in, they happened to witness a major event that had garnered much attention: the exchange ceremony between Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was being held in Maple Leaf Square, not far from the hotel window.
Dai Youheng's room was in an excellent location, on a high floor, with a clear view of the square through the bright glass windows.
"Oh? It seems we've arrived just in time." Dai Youheng stood by the window, his gaze sweeping over the two distinct groups of people below. Ling Ya and Nana also came up behind him and looked down together.
Below in the plaza, the leaders of both sides were undoubtedly heavyweights. On Shrek Academy's side was none other than Yan Shaozhe, the Dean of the Spirit Department and the Bright Phoenix Douluo! On the other hand, on the Sun Moon Royal Spirit Master Academy's side was their Dean, and also the Head of the Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen!
Both sides wore official, insincere smiles, and the subtle barbs in their words could be felt even from a distance.
Jing Hongchen gave a forced smile. "Dean Yan, hello. I didn't expect Dean Yan to come in person today. It seems your college attaches great importance to this exchange activity."
