In Douluo Continent, I am the mastermind behind the scenes.

Ning Rongrong: "..."

Ning Rongrong is truly blind. Why would she give up a perfectly good life as a princess and insist on becoming Tang San's servant?

If I don't tell you, Tang San won't let it go; if I do tell you, Tang San will just nitpick.

I've never seen such a difficult master to please!

The Shrek Five Monsters were in the same boat, and with no other choice, they had to cooperate and spout seemingly useful but actually nonsensical nonsense to fool Tang San.

To be honest, there are big problems with the rules of the God Realm right now. No matter how well the second-level gods, third-level gods, and hunters at the bottom do their jobs, there is no room for advancement. From the moment they inherit the godhood, the upper limit of each god is already locked. Under such circumstances, how can you expect the Shrek Five Monsters to be interested in giving advice to Tang San and taking risks that they should not have to bear?

After talking for so long, not a single useful word came out, so Tang San became a little annoyed and kicked everyone out of the Sea God Temple, including Xiao Wu.

Tang San was at a loss.

He instinctively sensed a sense of crisis emanating from Zhu Ningyun.

Having served as the God of Law Enforcement for nearly ten thousand years, Tang San truly had no idea what the outside world was like, or how backward the cultivation system of the Douluo World was.

Tang San couldn't possibly be completely unaware, or rather... he was very clear about his own limitations. As a person in a vegetative state, a person in a vegetative state with the bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor, if he were to fully develop his cultivation system, in terms of bloodline, how could he compare to those Soul Masters with True Dragon Martial Souls? Sooner or later, his position as the God of Law Enforcement would be replaced by others.

To this end, he did not hesitate to create the Golden Ancient Tree to absorb the life force of the Douluo plane. The lifespan of a Title Douluo in the Douluo plane is guaranteed to be at least three hundred years, while the lifespan of a Limit Douluo is only a little over three hundred years. By the end of the Douluo Grand Theory, the lifespan of a Level 100 True God is only three hundred years.

Soul tools, battle armor, and mechs are all just tricks Tang San devised to weaken soul masters and prevent lower-realm soul masters from having more time to pursue the path to godhood.

"Forget it, at worst I'll agree to let the God of Destruction expand the God Realm on the condition that the five God Kings join forces to wipe out Zhu Ningyun and the forces behind her. Under the sword of judgment of the Three Realms, even the former Dragon God would have to think twice."

Tang San murmured something, then sent a telepathic message to Rong Nianbing, the God of Emotions, instructing him to pass on his divine position to Huo Yuhao.

After doing all this, Tang San closed the door of the secret chamber and continued to refine the resentment in his spiritual sea.

Tang San had already prepared an escape route. If he still couldn't defeat Zhu Ningyun even with the combined efforts of the five God Kings, he would relinquish his godhood and offer up the three beauties of Shrek Academy in exchange for a chance to live.

As for seeking refuge with Poseidon and the previous Asura God? Heh, once they leave the Douluo God Realm, it's uncertain whether those two can even live for ten thousand years. Is the outside world really that wonderful?

……

The perspective shifts to the lower bound.

After returning to Shrek City, Gu Yuhan parted ways with her friends from the Tang Sect and quickly found another Limit Douluo who had come to Douluo Continent with her to pack her things and return to Yunyu Continent.

Before Gu Yuhan could relay the order, Ziying brought bad news.

"Miss, according to news from the mainland, a large fleet landed at a port city in the southwest of the mainland last night. In just one day and one night, the enemy has already breached the second line of defense of the capital."

"According to eyewitnesses, most of the enemy soldiers were dressed in black, and their physical form was somewhere between a physical body and a spirit. Each cultivator possessed a martial spirit and a spirit ring, just like... people who should have died."

Zi Ying was panting heavily, her petite body trembling uncontrollably.

Upon hearing this news, Gu Yuhan felt as if all her strength had been drained away. With a "thud," she collapsed to the ground, filled with regret.

Coming to his senses, Gu Yu sighed and said somewhat helplessly, "Sigh! Forget it, Aunt Zi, call Uncle Xuan, let's go to other worlds to develop. As for those who followed us, well... let's convert the resources we don't need into gold soul coins and distribute them to them. We'll stay in the Douluo World for a maximum of two more days, and get these things settled within those two days!"

"Yes, Miss."

Zi Ying cupped her hands in greeting and hurriedly left the room, heading to the Starlight Auction House in Shrek City to begin selling the soul bones from her storage bracelet.

Just then, Huo Yuhao led Chen Yu, Lu Qingshuang, and others into the Starlight Auction House. The moment he saw Zi Ying, his expression froze.

"Aunt Ziying, what brings you to the Starlight Auction House?"

Huo Yuhao's old habit resurfaced; when facing women older than him, he always liked to speak in a high-pitched voice. If Ziying hadn't been so composed, she probably would have cursed him out.

You're seventeen years old, Huo Yuhao. You still want to gain the care of older women by acting cute? Are you just too naive, or... do you lack self-awareness?

Zi Ying said calmly, "I'm here to sell a few soul bones. Well, with the great war imminent, many resources will be designated as war supplies once the war breaks out. My young lady asked me to make this trip to sell some unused soul bones for money, stockpile some resources, and distribute salaries to the soul masters who follow us."

Zi Ying was an old monster after all, and lying was something she could easily do. Everything seemed so logical that Huo Yuhao couldn't find any fault with it.

Of course, Huo Yuhao wasn't in the mood to dwell on Zi Ying; he had more important matters to attend to at the Starlight Auction House.

Huo Yuhao left and followed Chen Yu and the others into the VIP room.

Watching Huo Yuhao's receding figure, Zi Ying's eyes grew increasingly deep. For a moment, she even wanted to tell him about her master's plan and take Huo Yuhao with her... away from the Douluo World.

It was only for a fleeting moment. Zi Ying knew of the existence of the world consciousness, but she did not doubt herself excessively. She merely urged the staff of the Starlight Auction House to hurry up.

She couldn't guarantee that the mastermind wouldn't pull out heavy weapons to bomb Shrek City. Although Gu Yuhan had given her two days, she didn't want to wait two days. She wanted to get the money in her hands as soon as possible, distribute it to the people below, and leave this world.

Zi Ying didn't want to wait until tomorrow. Who knew what kind of trouble Huo Yuhao would cause? Could her master resist the temptation of being the "protagonist of destiny" and give up the idea of ​​leaving the Douluo world?

Thinking of this, Zi Ying's small hands trembled uncontrollably. She hurriedly grabbed the gold soul coin card handed to her by the maid and ran out without looking back.

Zi Ying, being quite intelligent, didn't openly tell her subordinates that their master was going to flee. Instead, she used the impending war as an excuse to distribute a certain amount of gold soul coins, instructing them to stockpile the necessary resources. (End of Chapter)
