Douluo Reborn: The Silver Dragon Returns, but Regrets End

Chapter 220 Sad
The most successful part of Lin Xiuran's three-word battle armor is not just the bonus from the crystal of life. The metal of his battle armor is completely refined from the Phoenix True Fire, from the initial one-word battle armor to the current three-word battle armor.

The metal refined from the Phoenix True Fire is used to forge battle armor, and its effects are self-evident. There is no doubt that the added effect brought by this unique refining method is extremely significant. Phoenix True Fire, coupled with the most precious metal materials and the assistance of the Crystal of Life, makes Lin Xiuran's three-character battle armor deservedly the most powerful existence in the entire soul master world, unique and incomparable.

This is all-round. After all, the forging under the guidance of the only master craftsman at that time is already unique, not to mention other things.

Next, he was about to face the key link of condensing the soul core. This process required a huge amount of heaven and earth energy as support. Although the moment of successful condensation might be short, the preliminary preparations would take a long time.

After half a year.

Shrek City.

A whole year has passed since Shrek Academy was destroyed by the twelve-level god-killing fixed-type soul guide cannonball.

One year is enough to bring about earth-shaking changes in the world. This place is no longer the location of the first academy that was once famous in the continent.

All that remained was a vast ocean and a huge deep pit. The waters of the former Sea God Lake had completely spread out, forming a vast lake.

The lake is clear and blue, like a huge sapphire with ripples, and you can't see the end at a glance. Its area is so large that it seems as vast as the Shrek City. The edge of the lake presents a graceful arc, no one maintains it, and there is no vegetation on the shore. It is beautiful, but it can't hide its inner emptiness and loneliness.

Once upon a time, this place was a magnificent city, and it was the undisputed number one city on the continent. Here stood the number one academy on the continent. In the entire 20,000 years, this honor had never changed in the slightest.

Today, the lakeside is overgrown with weeds and looks rather desolate. Although the endless water is beautiful, it still lacks the vitality and vigor it should have.

All that was beautiful in the past, at this moment, is left with only this vast ocean in front of us. Twenty thousand years of profound accumulation has been destroyed in an instant.

The breath of loneliness and destruction permeated the entire lake. The lake was no longer the lake that was once full of life.

The sacred charm that the water of Poseidon Lake once contained has disappeared completely, leaving only the excessive radiation remaining in the water, which seems to silently indicate the hideous face of the terrible storm that once occurred.

As time passed, the sun gradually set, and the blood-red setting sun shone on the lake, dyeing the lake water a fiery red. However, such a beautiful scene still could not cover up the endless sadness hidden in this land.

In the distance, the residential area of ​​Shrek City had been completely destroyed, and all that remained were ruins, most of which had even turned to dust.

Everything has been destroyed, and life is gone. Who would have thought that this place once hosted 10 million people living and working in peace and contentment and a beautiful existence?

But at this moment, it seemed that only the illusory ghosts were left wandering on this land. No, perhaps even the ghosts no longer existed. With the cruel methods of the Holy Spirit Church, those ghosts were probably captured by them mercilessly at the first moment.

That is an incredibly powerful level 12 god-killing soul-guided cannonball!

This was the first time that Lin Xiuran had set foot in this place since the encounter with the Sea God. However, this place had already changed beyond all recognition, and was no longer the prosperous and first academy on the continent.

Are you sad?
His heart was not sad, but just filled with a little sorrow. In this world, the weak have never had the right to choose. The destruction of Shrek Academy is indeed very heavy, but those ordinary residents are even more pitiful.

This was a criminal action launched by the Holy Spirit Church against Shrek Academy, but it involved countless innocent people. They didn't even have a chance to reincarnate, how sad!
Whether it is war or fighting, the ones who get hurt are always the ordinary people.

“When a country prospers, its people suffer; when a country perishes, its people suffer.” It seems that this is the eternal truth.

After standing by the lake and watching for a while, Lin Xiuran walked straight towards the city.

There is no lake water there, but it is completely impossible to tell that countless buildings once stood here.

In the mess of mud and broken walls, Lin Xiuran found some fragments of clothing.

Although there were only a few fragments left, he recognized them at a glance. They were none other than the Soul Pagoda commemorative clothing that he had personally distributed during the Soul Pagoda event, with the iconic pattern of the Soul Pagoda clearly printed on them.

For some reason, the scene of that day is still vivid in Lin Xiuran's mind even today, as if it happened yesterday.

Those who supported the Spirit Pagoda were filled with joy at that time because they received souvenirs from the Pagoda.

Among them, there were soul masters, ordinary people, innocent children and elderly people. But at this moment, they had all turned into ashes and disappeared without a trace.

At the last moment of their lives, they had no way of knowing that the actions of the Holy Spirit Church were aided by the Spirit Tower.

Without the secret assistance of the Spirit Transfer Tower, the Holy Spirit Church would never have been able to place those soul guide shells, especially the two level 12 God-killing soul guide shells, in the outer city of Shrek Academy, and successfully activate them. Behind all of this, there is the looming shadow of the Spirit Transfer Tower.

To be precise, it was the Qiangu family that manipulated all of this behind the scenes.

But there is no doubt that after the destruction of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect Headquarters, the Spirit Transferring Tower did become the biggest beneficiary.

All of this has a traceable path. You know, the Spirit Pagoda headquarters is very close to Shrek City. Relatively speaking, the Spirit Pagoda's status on the continent is even higher than that of the Tang Sect. At that time, why didn't the two extremely powerful God-killing-level fixed-type soul guide shells target Shrek City and the Spirit Pagoda? If so, it would have caused a greater blow to the overall power of the continent.

Facts have proven that there are people behind the scenes who are behind this. The federal government or other forces are not completely unaware of this. However, there is nothing they can do about it. Today, the Spiritual Pagoda has become the largest force on the continent.

No one could refute this. Moreover, the Spiritual Pagoda, which controlled many seats in the Federal Parliament, could not effectively check and balance it even the War God Temple in some aspects.

Looking at the present, those people who once firmly supported the Spirit Pagoda were indirectly killed by the Spirit Pagoda, and even their souls were not spared.

How sad and lamentable this is!
Countless people were indignant about the destruction of Shrek Academy, and some deeply regretted the disappearance of the number one academy on the continent.

But apart from the loved ones of ordinary residents, who will remember these innocent residents?
