Tang Wulin"s brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this. He had an unyielding personality, and a burst of stubbornness instinctively erupted in his heart. He pursed his lips tightly, and said, "You"re using your power to force your will upon others. Even if you really are friends of my parents, I don"t like you."
The Sky Azure Bull Python and the t.i.tan Giant Ape exchanged a slightly surprised glance, and both of them smiled with amus.e.m.e.nt.
"So what"s your choice?" the Sky Azure Bull Python asked.
A smile also suddenly appeared on Tang Wulin"s face. "I don"t like you, but I"ll still prove my ident.i.ty to you as my life doesn"t just belong to me; it also belongs to my friends, Shrek Academy, and the Tang Sect. I have to keep living, and even more importantly, I have to go and find my family in the future; I can"t die before I"ve met them."
Stubbornness wasn"t something to be proud of; this was something that he had learned back on the demonic island. Through that horrific experience, he had learned the importance of weighing up the consequences of different actions.
Prior to his visit to the demonic island, perhaps he would"ve resisted even if it would"ve led to his demise, but now, he was mature enough to see the bigger picture. A true man knew when to resist and when to fold.
Dying a resilient death would be very valiant, but what would happen to the Tang Sect? To Shrek Academy? To his friends and family? How dire would the consequences of that rash decision be?
"Interesting. Alright, show us your proof then; you look like you"re very confident," the Sky Azure Bull Python said in a calm manner.
Tang Wulin said, "If you identified me based on my Bluesilver Emperor, then I have something else that you should recognize as well."
He raised his right hand as he spoke, and a streak of golden light appeared in his grasp, transforming into a peerlessly sharp dual-tip spear with a projection of a giant golden dragon revolving around it.
The t.i.tan Giant Ape immediately exclaimed, "That"s the Golden Dragon Spear!"
"No, it"s not quite the same; it"s sharper than back when Wutong used it," the Sky Azure Bull Python said as he stared intently at the spear in Tang Wulin"s hand.
Tang Wulin explained, "That"s because it"s been sharpened. According to legends, the Golden Dragon Spear was constructed from the rib of the Golden Dragon King or Dragon G.o.d, and it possesses the special ability to devour all energy. Thankfully, I found the Dragonslaying Saber, which was the law-enforcing saber of the dragon clan, and through clashes with each other, the Dragonslaying Saber and Golden Dragon Spear can sharpen one another, so the Golden Dragon Spear has become even more lethal than when I first came into possession of it."
The Sky Azure Bull Python paused momentarily before concluding, "It"s still not enough."
In response to the Sky Azure Bull Python"s skepticism, Tang Wulin raised his left hand, and a beam of golden light suddenly erupted from his glabella. The Sky Azure Bull Python and t.i.tan Giant Ape both shuddered in unison at the sight of the golden trident symbol that had appeared on Tang Wulin"s glabella as it was simply far too familiar to them.
Tang San and Tang Wutong had both displayed this symbol at some point, and it was the Sea G.o.d"s Trident pa.s.sed down through Tang San"s bloodline!
Immediately thereafter, an extremely familiar feeling appeared, but the entire Myriad Beast Plane shuddered violently as if it were about to be torn apart.
A pillar of golden light appeared in Tang Wulin"s grasp out of thin air, and an enormous authoritative aura surged forth. The scintillating golden light completely drowned out the radiance of the Golden Dragon Spear, and a serious look appeared in Tang Wulin"s eyes as he pointed the tip of the giant trident directly up toward the heavens.
The Sky Azure Bull Python and t.i.tan Giant Ape"s expression changed drastically, and all of their doubts were instantly erased.
Who could possess Tang San"s most important divine weapon had he not given it to them?
On top of that, the fact that Tang Wulin was able to wield the trident with relative ease indicated that he had at least received partial acknowledgment from it.
Right at this moment, a vast expanse of golden light was released from Tang Wulin"s body, forming a series of images.
There was no sound, but just those images alone were enough to evoke strong emotions within the hearts of the Sky Azure Bull Python and t.i.tan Giant Ape.
To them, the figure in the images was far too familiar; it was none other than Sea G.o.d Tang San!
Tang San"s body was looking a little insubstantial, but he really did exist, and he seemed to be communicating something to Tang Wulin within the image. He was bestowing some knowledge upon Tang Wulin in the majestic divine hall, and this was a memory of Tang Wulin"s from back when he only knew Tang San as Old Tang.
He was displaying this through mental manifestation as there was nothing that could better reflect his ident.i.ty.
It was very difficult to mentally manifest a fake memory as there was no way to manifest something that didn"t exist.
The scenes in the image continued to unfold, beginning with Old Tang"s lessons, then progressing to Tang San"s arrival to save Tang Wulin from a perilous situation, then moving onto Tang San bestowing the golden trident, as well as Millennium White Clouds and Unpredictable Storm upon him.
The final scene depicted the Infernal Lightning Vine successfully completing its evolution under Tang San"s protection.
The hands of both the Sky Azure Bull Python and t.i.tan Giant Ape balled up into tight fists in unison at the sight of Tang San unleas.h.i.+ng his Unpredictable Storm, and the pressure that they were exerting upon Tang Wulin completely disappeared.
The images vanished, and Tang Wulin also awakened from his memories.
"Put the golden trident away; the plane won"t be able to handle it!" the Sky Azure Bull Python said in an urgent voice.
Golden light flashed from Tang Wulin"s hand as he quickly stowed the trident away, and only then did the entire plane stop trembling.
The Sky Azure Bull Python and t.i.tan Giant Ape exchanged a glance, and they could both see their own excitement mirrored in one another"s eyes.
"He"s still alive! This is fantastic! Haha, they"re probably all still alive; we still have hope!" the t.i.tan Giant Ape chortled with glee, and Tang Wulin was left feeling rather speechless at the sight of such a powerful being acting like an overjoyed child. However, at the same time, he could also clearly sense the heartfelt elation from these two powerful beings.
"Wulin, you"ve managed to prove your ident.i.ty to us. I am Da Ming, and he is Er Ming; you can refer to us as uncle. Your father refers to us as brothers, and we"ve been good friends with your mother ever since she was just a little rabbit."
The Sky Azure Bull Python"s voice had become a lot gentler, and there was a benevolent look in his eyes as he appraised Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin was also feeling very excited. There was no need for him to verify the ident.i.ties of these two as their quasiG.o.d level powers were enough to tell him everything. If they hadn"t identified the fact that he could be a descendant of Tang San"s, then they wouldn"t have sought him out.
"Tang Wulin pays his respects to his uncles," Tang Wulin said as he extended a respectful bow.
