The Dove Faction championed peaceful development, and war and invasion were the last things it wanted to see.
As the peace-loving ent.i.ty that it was, Shrek Academy would definitely stand with the Dove Faction at a time like this. Even so, prior to this day, Mo Lan had never revealed to anyone the plan to rebuild Shrek Academy. Everything had been progressing in strict confidentiality, and aside from her, no one knew what these resources were being allocated toward.
The resources were currently on the way, and thus far, Mo Lan had already been contacted over 10 times via soul communicator. Heaven Dou City was very close to the original site of Shrek City, and many members of the Dove Faction were calling her to inquire about the situation after receiving news of what was happening.
Mo Lan had expressed her full support toward Shrek Academy"s rebuild, and this was something that the vast majority of the Dove Faction wanted to see as well. However, she refrained from telling anyone about the resources she was providing to Shrek Academy.
At this point, the reconstruction of Shrek Academy had already commenced.
All of Shrek Academy"s students had already been a.s.signed with tasks, and they were jumping into things with immense vigor and excitement.
Many things had already been prepared in advance. One soul tool after another was being pulled out of storage soul tools, and installation commenced right away.
There was naturally no way that the federation would provide these soul tools, so these resources were all from the Tang Sect.
Yali flew over to "Yun Ming", and said, "Hopefully, everything goes smoothly."
"Yun Ming" smiled, and replied, "We"ve commenced the rebuild very abruptly, and no signs were leaked beforehand. During this period of time, we"ve gathered resources from all sides; even if the Spirit PaG.o.da were to attack us without any consideration for the consequences, there"s no way they"d be able to do so in a short time. In any case, they wouldn"t dare to attack us so blatantly anyway. It"s a pity that we no longer have the Divine s.p.a.ce Time Shuttle. Otherwise, everything would progress a lot more smoothly."
Yali asked, "Right now, are you him or yourself?"
"It"s me, Mother," Tang Wulin replied.
Due to the fact that the Tang Sect had been declared as a treasonous organization by the federation, he couldn"t appear in the public eye as the Tang Sect Master. Thus, he required a new ident.i.ty.
By the time they returned, they were already able to use the Divine s.p.a.ce Time Shuttle to exchange for Yun Ming"s soul from the Holy Spirit Cult. The exchange was completed in private, and the Holy Spirit Cult had even tried to recruit the Tang Sect through the Amorous Douluo, but the result of that was obviously very apparent.
Even though the Atlas Douluo"s soul had finally been recovered, it was slightly incomplete and could only engage in simple communication under certain circ.u.mstances. His soul then went into a slumber with the Divine Atlas Spear as its host, and it would awaken every once in a while.
Yali didn"t know when Yun Ming would awaken, which was why she had asked that question.
Under the guidance from Yun Ming himself, Tang Wulin"s disguise was virtually impeccable, even down to his voice, mannerisms, and aura. As such, even Yali was unable to tell the difference. After all, her spiritual power was still not superior to Tang Wulin"s at this point.
There was no one who would be more suited to commencing the rebuild of Shrek Academy than the Atlas Douluo, and the only way to verify the authenticity of this Atlas Douluo was through battle. However, Shrek Academy still had the Holy Spirit Douluo and Light Dark Douluo, so it would not be an easy task to challenge Tang Wulin for verification.
The abrupt nature of the rebuild announcement had caught everyone completely off guard, and the architects had been hired from Heaven Dou City well in advance. The blueprints had already been drawn up, and the first building they were going to construct was a three-story main school building that replicated Shrek Academy"s original school building.
Due to the changes that had taken place in the Sea G.o.d"s Lake, the new school building also had to be altered, and their first priority was to set up an anti-radiation protective barrier.
t.i.tled Douluos were able to temporarily repress the destructive aura within a certain area for a short time, but they couldn"t keep it up forever; only a soul formation would ensure that the radiation would be kept at bay.
Of course, Shrek Academy couldn"t be constructed anywhere else other than on the bank of the Sea G.o.d"s Lake.
The recent period of time appeared to have been quite peaceful, but in reality, Tang Wulin and the higher-ups of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy had held countless discussions to perfect this plan before finally implementing it.
The students of Shrek Academy were currently setting up such a protective barrier.
Following Tang Wulin"s return, he immediately went to check on the seed of life, only to find that it was developing at an extremely slow rate due to the negative impact of the destructive aura in the area. Among the resources that Tang Wulin requested from the Star Luo Empire were crystals that were filled with life force energy, and providing them to the seed of life did have an effect, but it wasn"t a very p.r.o.nounced one.
After all, the seed of life simply required far too much life force energy to grow. Even so, through his communication with the seed of life, Tang Wulin was informed that during this past period of over a year, the seed of life had been constantly neutralizing the destructive energy of the lake and decreased the total amount of destructive energy within the Sea G.o.d"s Lake by about 5%.
This was already the extent of what it could currently do. Unless it had more life force energy to support it, the situation would only continue to progress like this, and the seed of life could even wither away if it were left without sufficient life force energy for too long.
Tang Wulin had asked the seed of life whether it could grow elsewhere, but the answer had been no. The seed of life had told him that this destructive energy was also energy, and that if the total amount of life force energy it possessed could outstrip the amount of destructive energy in the lake, all of that destructive energy could be converted into sustenance for it. Such an enormous amount of energy would allow it to return to its peak in a short time.
As such, after some careful consideration, Tang Wulin decided that he was going to pay a visit to the core area of the Great Star Dou Forest in the future to see if he could find any crystals of life.
He was very confident in his current level of power, and his friends would be accompanying him, so safety shouldn"t be an issue.
Tang Wulin released his Spirit Domain realm spiritual power, allowing him to sense everything that was going on in a very large area. He had been able to transmit his voice over such a large area earlier not just through his own power, but also through drawing upon Yun Ming"s power. Rebuilding Shrek Academy was an extremely important occasion, so Yun Ming had to partic.i.p.ate in some way no matter how exhausted he was. As such, he had fused his spiritual power with that of Tang Wulin to create such a stunning effect.
Tang Wulin could sense that several dozens of bursts of spiritual power had already swept through the surrounding area, but none of them dared to do anything after detecting his presence. It was quite clear that his adopted ident.i.ty as the Atlas Douluo was playing a very important role here. At the very least, it was making everyone wonder if the Atlas Douluo had truly been resurrected.
Even the Holy Spirit Cult was most likely wondering the same thing. After all, they had just returned Yun Ming"s soul, and the number one healing system Soul Master on the entire continent, Holy Spirit Douluo Yali, had recently become a Limit Douluo. The chances of Yali being able to resurrect Yun Ming using his soul were virtually negligible, but at the same time, she was the first healing system Limit Douluo in history, so who could say?
If it weren"t for the fact that the Divine s.p.a.ce Time Shuttle was an indispensable part of the Holy Spirit Cult"s future plans, they definitely wouldn"t have been willing to return Yun Ming"s soul.
As the construction was progressing down below, the Shrek Academy uniform finally returned to the surface. Over 1,000 people had emerged from the Sea G.o.d"s Lake, and not all of them were actually students of Shrek Academy; a large proportion of them were disciples and architects of the Tang Sect who had been sent here to help rebuild Shrek Academy.
The plan devised by Tang Wulin and the higher-ups of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy was to lay down the basic groundwork of the academy as quickly as possible to re-establish Shrek Academy once again. With a foundation, there would be something for everyone to gather around and support, and it was also a declaration to the entire continent that Shrek Academy still stood.
Tang Wulin knew that there was currently no one who could prevent Shrek Academy"s reconstructions, and he was intentionally creating witnesses such as Yaping"s group to spread the news as quickly as possible. The Dove Faction was also fully cooperating in this effort, instantly doing away with all of their confidentiality measures, and all of the media outlets controlled by the Dove Faction were releasing this news in full force.
