Chapter 444 Yun Ming, do you intend to openly rebel? Replacing Ah Yin with the Golden Ancient Tree
For thousands of years, the Federation has wanted to bring Shrek Academy under its control.
They were about to succeed this time, but Yun Ming just had to break through to the god level at this critical juncture.
Helpless, he could only pray in his heart that Yun Ming would fail at the last moment and die under the heavenly tribulation.
However, the four-colored lightning continued to flow and pour down, striking for almost the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. Instead of shattering the pillar of light, the tribulation clouds in the sky became increasingly thin.
Even the sunlight that had been blocked began to shine through the gaps in the clouds again, and the previously dark and oppressive environment became bright once more.
Yun Ming, located at the center of the pillar of light, watched the fierce and dazzling electric snakes dance wildly around him, yet his face remained calm and composed, showing neither joy nor sorrow.
He casually twirled the Heaven-Supporting Divine Spear in his hand, creating a spear flower, and an extremely domineering spear intent suddenly burst forth.
The entire space was enveloped by this will, falling into a strange state of stagnation.
The thunderbolt that had been so terrifying, about to strike down on everyone's heads, suddenly stopped.
In this eerie stillness, a gentle and refined voice echoed across the sky.
"I, Yun Ming, have cultivated for over a hundred years, enduring countless life-and-death trials. Now, blessed by the legacy of my ancestors, I have broken through my limits and achieved godhood. The glory of Shrek Academy will live on forever!"
As Yun Ming finished speaking, countless dazzling golden lights suddenly burst forth from his body, rapidly spreading throughout the entire Shrek City.
Then, like a newly born golden sun, it shot straight toward the calamity clouds in the sky.
The world was instantly illuminated by an intense, blazing white light.
When the light faded, the calamity clouds that exuded an aura of destruction were completely shattered.
The warm sunlight shone directly on the eye-catching young man in white, making him even more radiant.
This scene undoubtedly proclaimed to the world that Yun Ming had successfully broken through to the god level.
Shrek City is already home to a large number of students who are studying at Shrek Academy or have already graduated.
For some time now, due to losing the exchange competition with Monster Academy, coupled with the decision by the federal government to force Shrek Academy to merge with Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, a suffocating and oppressive atmosphere has been permeating the entire Shrek Academy.
At this moment, all the gloom was swept away with Yun Ming's grand and successful ascension to godhood.
"Long live Shrek Academy! Long live the Sky-Supporting Douluo!"
In an instant, deafening cheers rose and fell throughout Shrek City.
The deafening roar, filled with boundless fervor and worship, threatened to overturn the entire Shrek City.
Yun Ming's status in the hearts of all Shrek Academy students has reached an unprecedented peak.
Seeing this, Yun Ming, who was in the center of everyone's admiring gaze, nodded slightly and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
At this moment, his excitement was no less than that of the Shrek Academy students below who were caught up in the jubilation.
The not-so-loud sound rang clearly in the ears of everyone in Shrek City.
"Please be quiet for a moment and let me say something."
The once bustling Shrek City fell completely silent after Yun Ming uttered just one sentence.
Countless gazes, filled with a complex mix of emotions including joy, curiosity, surprise, fear, and anger, were all fixed on Yun Ming high in the sky.
It seemed as if they were eager to know what this peerless powerhouse, who, in the eyes of the common people, had become a god again after ten thousand years, wanted to announce.
Yun Ming closed his eyes and slowly opened his arms to the sides, as if he were embracing this world that he had not personally experienced for a long time, and his thoughts were in turmoil.
"Teacher, if you could see this from heaven, you would surely feel some comfort for me."
Although it is not about condensing a divine position to become a god, it is enough to forcibly break through the shackles and reach this god-level under the current limited plane rules.
"I will take all the blame and injustices the college has suffered during this period and seek redress for them in my own way!"
Thinking of this, Yun Ming suddenly opened his eyes, a terrifying blood light flashing deep in his dark eyes, and said in a deep voice: "During the time when I was in seclusion cultivating and had no time to pay attention to the outside world..."
I think some of these stray dogs are incredibly arrogant and domineering, even to the point of being completely unscrupulous. They actually dare to openly sabotage our academy and swallow up Shrek Academy's millennia-old foundation?
The Heaven-Supporting Divine Spear reappeared in Yun Ming's hand, its tip turned and pointed directly westward without hesitation.
The overwhelming pressure of the God of Guns swept outwards in all directions like an abyss and a vast ocean, causing the surrounding space to groan in agony under its strain.
At this moment, Yun Ming was like a god or a demon, and the meaning behind the direction his spear was pointing was self-evident.
Upon seeing this, the people of Shrek City, who were still speculating about Yun Ming's intentions, erupted in uproar.
Just then, a voice filled with anger rang out from the other end of the sky.
"Yun Ming, how dare you utter such arrogant words and blatantly provoke the authority of the Federation! Do you intend to openly rebel?!"
Yu Guanzhi, dressed in bright yellow battle armor, had already appeared in the sky.
He held in his hand a white divine pen shaped like a spear, but the tip of the spear was made of countless fine metal wires. Nine spirit rings also appeared one by one behind him.
As the team leader responsible for facilitating the merger of the two institutions, Chen Xinjie had just instructed him to hold back and prioritize the overall situation.
It is evident that when Yun Ming openly provoked the federal government, Yu Guanzhi, who was always fierce and proud, could not suppress the raging anger in his heart.
"So it's you, Divine Brush Douluo. It's been a long time. If my memory serves me right, when I stormed into Mingdu for Ya Li's sake, it should have been when you were full of vigor and had just taken over as the commander of the Central Legion."
Yun Ming's voice was unusually calm, even completely devoid of any emotion, showing no regard whatsoever for Yu Guanzhi, the powerful legion commander.
Having his old wounds so ruthlessly reopened in front of him, and even rubbed with salt, Yu Guanzhi was so angry that his body was trembling slightly.
He stared intently at Yun Ming and asked in a low voice, "So what if it is? Do you still want to repeat the absurd act of forcibly breaking into Mingdu back then?"
This is blatantly endangering federal security and provoking the Federation's bottom line. Yun Ming, are you and Shrek Academy, who you support, truly determined to be branded as traitors and condemned to eternal damnation?
"Hahaha—treason? What a ridiculous joke!"
Yun Ming first revealed a disdainful smile, which gradually evolved into unrestrained laughter.
After a while, he suddenly stopped smiling.
The gaze emanating from those sharp black eyes was intensely aggressive as they stared at Yu Guanzhi.
Staring directly at him with a gaze as sharp as a blade, Yu Guanzhi felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being locked onto by some monster about to devour him.
Feeling a chill run down his spine, he involuntarily took a small step back, his imposing manner instantly diminishing.
Yun Ming's high-pitched voice, now fully revealing its sharp edge, resounded throughout the sky like rolling thunder.
"Our Shrek Academy has been established for over 20,000 years, weathering countless storms and upheavals. In the past, the Spirit Hall harbored wolfish ambitions, intending to wreak havoc on the continent."
It was our ancestor Tang San who, on the city wall of Jialing Pass, single-handedly turned the tide, defeated two gods, and protected the Douluo Continent from the suffering of countless lives.
Then came the Star Beast Tide and the Evil Soul Masters' rebellion. In every moment of crisis, it was always the teachers and students of Shrek Academy who bravely rushed to the most dangerous front lines. I ask the Federation, where is your loyalty and righteousness?
Now, the academy has only weathered a few storms and declined for a short period. The Douluo Federation has already tried to use its power to suppress us, attempting to seize Shrek Academy's millennia-old foundation and carry out that despicable act of annexation and encroachment.
Earlier, the academy team's sparring match against Monster Academy was a valiant defeat. However, the Federation used this as an excuse to pin all the blame on the academy. Where is the Federation's morality?
Looking at the present, the Douluo Continent appears prosperous on the surface, but in reality, undercurrents are surging, and it is far from being described as a peaceful and prosperous era.
Since its founding, Shrek Academy has always adhered to the principle of meritocracy, sparing no effort to provide countless ordinary soul masters with a path to the top.
In contrast, the Federation itself had long been divided up by various powerful families and military factions, turning it into a stagnant pool.
The so-called high-sounding merger of schools is nothing more than a way to satisfy the power-hungry desires of certain individuals, treating thousands of innocent teachers and students as mere pawns to be manipulated at will.
Furthermore, they disregard the safety of the mainland and commit such a catastrophic act of severing the nation's heritage. Where is the Federation's benevolence and righteousness?
"Divine Brush Douluo, do you even deserve to stand here and presumptuously represent the Douluo Federation to judge me? To judge the thousands of passionate students behind me?"
This series of resounding questions made Yu Guanzhi's face turn dark, but under the pressure of Yun Ming's imposing aura, he couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal for a long time.
Yun Ming wielded the Heaven-Supporting Divine Spear, unleashing several sharp spear flourishes. Golden light rippled across the spear tip like silk threads, and the pure divine aura it emitted caused the surrounding void to shatter continuously.
"The Federation today is truly corrupt and depraved, attempting such disloyal, unjust, and inhumane acts. Shrek Academy hereby declares that we will absolutely not participate in this so-called merger!"
Today, I, Yun Ming, will personally represent the entire Shrek Academy to go to the Federation and demand justice!
Below, in Shrek City, countless citizens and students seemed to resonate with each other on a spiritual level, and their shouts, like a tsunami, instantly coalesced into a torrent that pierced the sky.
"We refuse to accept the merger! We swear to protect Shrek Academy to the death!"
"Long live Shrek Academy! We swear to follow Sky Douluo to the death!"
Leaning on a dragon-headed cane, Long Yeyue stood slightly hunched on the rooftop of the outer courtyard teaching building, looking up at Yun Ming, who was radiant with light in the sky and had left Yu Guanzhi speechless with his questions.
Hearing the resounding cries that echoed through the sky, her old eyes were already filled with tears.
"They're back, they're all back. This is the Yunming I remember, the one who could reach the heavens and explore the netherworld."
Old Berlusconi, if you were alive today and witnessed this inspiring scene, you would surely rest in peace with a smile, without any regrets.
However, inside the Sea God Pavilion at this moment, the emaciated Elder Jin's face grew increasingly pale.
The warm, golden aura that had originally emanated from him had become unusually dim, and his somewhat murky gaze was fixed on the spirited Yun Ming.
He spoke with a deep sense of worry, saying, "Isn't Yun Ming's reckless behavior a bit too blatant, completely deviating from the academy's code of conduct?"
The academy's guiding principle for the past ten thousand years has always been self-preservation. To openly clash with the Federation without leaving any room for maneuver—the consequences could be dire.
Towards the end, Mr. Jin let out a long sigh.
In order to help Yunming become a god, a full 70% of the life energy accumulated within the Golden Ancient Tree over tens of thousands of years was extracted.
Such a massive consumption would require nearly seven thousand years to accumulate and recover.
In Jin Lao's view, Yun Ming's blatant provocation of the federal authority was like walking a tightrope over a precipice.
If even one wrong step is taken, it will invite a furious and relentless retaliation from the Federation, regardless of the consequences.
At that time, the academy will probably be truly doomed.
Ah Yin, who had been standing beside Old Jin, maintained her gentle and weak expression and softly comforted him, "You don't need to worry too much. When Xiao San was alive, he often said that as long as those villains harbor evil intentions and seek death, there is no need to show them mercy. They must be dealt with with overwhelming force."
Although Yun Ming has been forceful this time, only by truly making those politicians in the Federation feel the pain can the flame of the academy be better protected!
At this point, Ah Yin changed the subject, her tone filled with concern, and said, "Golden Tree Spirit, you contributed too much to Yun Ming's successful breakthrough to the God-level barrier, and you've suffered too much. Let me help you back first so you can rest and recuperate."
Upon hearing this, Old Jin nodded weakly, his face growing increasingly ashen, and replied, "Very well, my old bones really can't hold on much longer."
Next, they will likely need to enter a very long period of dormancy to stabilize their damaged foundations. The academy's future is now entirely up to them to handle.
I just hope things will go as smoothly as you expect, and that no further unforeseen events will occur.
As Ah Yin was being helped by the unsteady Jin Lao step by step towards the deepest part of the Sea God Pavilion, a hint of reluctance in her lowered eyes was quickly replaced by a cold and resolute expression, and she silently apologized to him.
"I'm sorry, Golden Tree Spirit. In order to ensure the successful resurrection of my mistress, I have no other choice. I must replace you and become the true life core of this Douluo plane."
