Chapter 1956 Broken Ties

The two leading silhouettes were the largest. They immediately made their way over to Gu Yuena and stood by her back.

Tang Wulin was shocked by Gu Yuena’s resolute utterance and subsequent action. He could not help having a drastic change of expression, and his face was filled with disbelief upon seeing these two silhouettes.

It was because the two silhouettes that stood behind Gu Yuena were no other than his great uncles. They were the Azure Oxpython and the Titan Giant Ape that fought alongside Tang San in the past and did not mind sacrificing themselves to save his mother. They were the two brothers, Da Ming and Er Ming.

Behind them, the numerous beasts included the Beast God Di Tian, the Thousand Demon King, the Bear Lord, the Jade Swan, the Darkness Demon Dragon, and others who stood in a line. Many more powerful soul beasts were appearing in succession.

The gigantic rift gradually expanded in the sky before transforming into a huge green cloud of light. It floated above with vigor and vitality. However, it was different from the Eternal Tree in the sense that it had a vicious murderous intent. The aura emitted from each soul beast’s body was hostile. There were even more soul beasts surging out from the rift.

Later, the green radiance transformed into an enormous vortex. The vortex was obviously linked to a small world. It was quite different from the small worlds which Tang Wulin was used to seeing. The small world was exceedingly stable. Besides, the energy in this small world was incomparably huge.

Was that the…

“Ten Thousand Beast Platform?” The words escaped Tang Wulin’s lips.

The place that contained Da Ming and Er Ming was precisely the Ten Thousand Beast Platform! They were the masters of the place. At the same time, more soul beasts began emerging from the Ten Thousand Beast Platform. It only took a short time before more than a hundred thousand soul beasts appeared in the air. Some were soul beasts that could fly, but more soul beasts materialized on the ground. They organized themselves into a dense formation on the plain.

Tang Wulin’s expression turned unpleasant in the meantime. Regardless of the large number of enemies before him, he could only see Gu Yuena.

“Why? Why do you have to do this? All the disasters have been overcome with great effort. We can be together finally. Why must you do this?”

The tears in Gu Yuena’s eyes had vanished. There was only determination in her gaze.

The Beast God Di Tian grunted once. “Tang Wulin, this may be a disaster for mankind, but it’s an opportunity for us soul beasts to regain our glory. We’ve waited a long time for this day. Under the leadership of Her Highness, we’ll surely seize the Douluo Continent once again to revitalize this world.”

Tang Wulin glanced at him coldly. Despite the Beast God Di Tian’s cultivation base which was close to a million years, he felt chills all over his body under Tang Wulin’s side glance. He shuddered uncontrollably from the cold and found himself incapable of continuing his speech.

Tang Wulin shifted his gaze to Gu Yuena. “Since you’re going to seek revenge on mankind, I’ll be your biggest obstacle for sure. Why then did you save me when the Beast God tried to kill me in the past?” How could Tang Wulin not figure out that the silver silhouette that saved him was Gu Yuena. Not only that, it was Gu Yuena who saved him on multiple occasions whenever he was caught in life and death situations!

Gu Yuena did not speak as she looked at him quietly. They gazed intently into each other’s eyes, making steady eye contact.

“Do you really have to do this?” Tang Wulin looked at her with an intense gaze.

Gu Yuena took a deep breath. “This is the only way!”

The corner of Tang Wulin’s lips curled into a bitter smile. “Do you really think that your soul beasts can defeat mankind and dominate the Douluo Continent once again? Uncles, are you going to help her as well?”

Da Ming said with a stern expression, “Wulin, it’s not that we want to help her, but we’ve no choice. Just as the Silver Dragon King said, soul beasts will cease to exist in this world if we don’t take action now. In any case, Da Ming and I were soul beasts initially. In the past, the Silver Dragon King met with us to discuss this matter, and to which we agreed to support. Besides, the blood of soul beasts flows in your body too. In fact, it even surpasses mankind’s bloodline.”

Tang Wulin’s grandmother A Yin was a soul beast. Thus, his father, Tang San had half a soul beast’s bloodline. On the other hand, his mother Xiao Wu was a hundred-thousand year Soft Bone Rabbit. As a result, Tang Wulin’s body was actually three-quarters of a soul beast’s bloodline.

Er Ming said, “Wulin, come over to our side. Join hands with the Silver Dragon King and we’ll certainly be able to set the rules for this world once again. It’s the only way we’ll let mankind off and not annihilate them. However, the predominant power of this world can’t be given to mankind. For this reason, we’ve no scruples in waging war.”

Tang Wulin shook his head. “No, that’s impossible. Regardless of my bloodline, I must protect mankind. Do you really think that you’re capable of resisting mankind and seize control of this world just by relying on your powers now?”

Di Tian said coldly, “The lord of the plane is in a deep sleep, so’s the Eternal Tree. Who else is going to support you then? Even though mankind has a good number of powerhouses, we’ve absolute confidence in ourselves naturally, not to mention we’ve the courage to be here. Your Highness, please give the order!”

Gu Yuena took a deep breath. Her gaze was fixed on Tang Wulin all along.

Tang Wulin turned his head to the side and looked at her as well. He never expected to be totally on the opposing side one day. On the other hand, the opposition had caused him more than just pain.

Meanwhile, the numerous powerhouses from Shrek and the Tang Sect had made their way over and were standing behind Tang Wulin. Everyone looked solemn at the moment.

The Shrek Six Monsters had just found out the reason Gu Yuena insisted on joining the Spirit Pagoda instead of cultivating with them at Shrek Academy in the past. She did not do it for personal reasons. It was to seek revenge!

“Gu Yue, why?” Xu Xiaoyan could not refrain herself from shouting aloud. “Why do you’ve to be this way? We agreed to organize the wedding together! We said we were going to live happily together! Why must you do this? Do you know how much big brother has sacrificed for you? Do you know how much he loves you? How could you hurt him like this?” Xu Xiaoyan could not hold back her tears anymore at this point.

The Shrek Seven Monsters understood each other very well. Whether it was Xu Xiaoyan or the others, all of them saw Tang Wulin alone on many occasions. Tang Wulin had put in more effort in his cultivation than any of them, but they knew that everything Tang Wulin did was for Gu Yuena to a large extent! He did it so he could protect her.

They never expected Gu Yuena to actually take an opposing stand against Tang Wulin and cut ties with him on such a joyous day.

Gu Yuena’s expression was icy cold. She seemed oblivious to Xu Xiaoyan’s accusation.

“Let’s begin,” said Gu Yuena to the Beast God Di Tian.

Di Tian nodded. A radiance glimmered in his eyes. An ominous presentiment emerged in Tang Wulin’s heart soon after.

In the next moment, the gigantic green vortex in the sky turned black, dimming the entire sky.

A strange fluctuation followed. Gu Yuena cupped her hands together to make a lifting gesture. A ball of nine-colored radiance condensed into a light orb to emerge on her palms.
