The location of the Eternal Heaven was absolutely vital. When Shrek City was destroyed by two Godkiller-ranked fixed soul ammunitions in the past, it left everyone devastated including the Heartless Douluo and the Amorous Douluo. Even though the Tang Sect’s Soul Circuit Defense System was built to defend against fixed soul ammunitions including Godkillers, the Eternal Heaven was reputed to be the most terrifying weapon in the history of mankind. The power of the Eternal Heaven had surpassed the combination of two Godkiller-ranked fixed soul ammunitions before.

Who could sleep soundly when such a weapon existed?

With the development of technology, Limit Douluos and four-word battle armor masters were not invincible anymore. Even if the Atlas Douluo were resurrected, he would not also have the fortitude to resist the Eternal Heaven.

On the other hand, if they could seize the Eternal Heaven, the strategic significance would be immense for Shrek and the Tang Sect because the weapon could not be reproduced anymore. It would not only act as a safeguard for Shrek and the Tang Sect, it could also be used to turn over the political situation.


It’s accurate. Elder Long told me. I think she went to visit the Boundless Sea Douluo,
said Tang Wulin in a concise and comprehensive manner.


The Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi understood Tang Wulin’s words immediately.
Alright. Come over to Heaven Dou City and I’ll explain to you in detail about the situation at the War God Hall.


Tang Wulin did not speak more than necessary upon hearing the cautiousness in his voice. After he had hung up, he considered for a moment and made the decision to ask the madwoman to join him on this trip.

The soul car travelled soundlessly on the highway. Following the reconstruction of Shrek, the first completed amenities included a few roads around the Sea God Lake that connected to the surrounding highways. As a result, transportation to the reconstructed Shrek had become more convenient.


Why do I have to tag along? Why can’t you just go by yourself?
Ling Zichen had a displeased expression on her face. In reality, Tang Wulin had hardly ever seen her looking happy.

Tang Wulin said,
Since you’re going to join our operation this time, you’re going to have to play a role in it. It’s highly possible that you will be useful in helping us to go through various soul device mechanisms in the War God Hall, given your proficiency with soul technology. As a result, you need to join me in meeting His Excellency the Heartless Douluo. Speaking of which, what have you been busy working on for the past few days?


Usually, Tang Wulin rarely saw Ling Zichen. It took quite some time just for him to track her down that day.


I was just checking on the construction of the Soul Circuit Defense System. There are a lot of issues with numerous components and it’s built sloppily. It doesn’t comply with my requirements and is off by a few millimeters in many parts. There are also some angle issues with the arrangement of the circuit. All this will result in increased energy consumption and a weakened output. These people are asking for trouble really. I must be there to scold them every day. Only then will they work seriously.


The corners of Tang Wulin’s lips twitched involuntarily upon hearing her irate words. Tang Wulin had been checking on the construction of the Soul Circuit Defense System. The work was done meticulously enough.


Did you check with a magnifying glass? It’s not that good for us to be overly obsessed, is it?
said Tang Wulin, slightly helplessly.


Are you saying that I’m obsessive?
Ling Zichen’s voice immediately went to a much higher pitch. She turned around and glared at Tang Wulin ferociously. Her rather exaggeratedly curvy figure started emitting a formless pressure.



No, you did well!
Tang Wulin immediately chose not to quarrel with a madwoman. He did not think that he could persuade her at all.

Ling Zichen scoffed coldly.
We are running low on resources now, so every ounce will need to be used with extreme caution. We can never waste even the tiniest amount of our resources. All wastage is a crime. Your Shrek Academy’s campus is so vast. Do you know how many resources are poured into the device? When the two excellencies proposed the plan in the beginning, I was the first person to oppose it. Even now, I’m still strongly against the idea. Using so many resources to defend an academy is simply wastage of the highest order!


Tang Wulin frowned ever so slightly.
You’re right about not wasting resources, but they’ll still need to be utilized anyhow. Shrek is a place for educating students and cultivating them into useful people. It is the future. When Shrek City was destroyed in that explosion, all the teachers sacrificed their lives to protect Shrek’s students. That was us. Many of them had powerful abilities that could have given them a chance to escape, but why didn’t they do so? The Tang Sect chooses to consume such a massive amount of resources because we want to protect this hope together. Moreover, it’s also protecting our Tang Sect. Without an adequately safe base, how are we going to work toward the development of the entire continent?



Alright, alright. I knew you were going to tell me about these ‘great truths’. Don’t bother me. I’m going to take a nap.
As she spoke, Ling Zichen put her seat into a reclining position. Soon, her breathing sounded even and peaceful.

Tang Wulin had many things on his mind. He was deliberating over a constant stream of possibilities that could happen during the operation. It was a crucial mission for them. Very likely, the acquisition of the Eternal Heaven would determine if the war would happen. At the same time, it would also determine if the newly reconstructed Shrek Academy could gain a firm foothold and if the Tang Sect would regain its glory.

The car travelled stably. The person in charge of driving the car was from the Tang Sect’s Douluo Hall. He was the Amorous Douluo’s direct disciple and had a Soul Douluo-ranked cultivation base as well.

Tang Wulin suddenly realized that the calm breathing coming from next to him suddenly sounded rushed. He instinctively turned his head to the side to take a look.

Ling Zichen was frowning, but her eyes were tightly closed. It was as if she was having a bad dream. At the moment, she did not appear to possess her normally domineering manner. Her entire person was curled up on the seat and she looked just like a kitten. Saliva was dripping down the corner of her lips.


Father…
All of a sudden, her body trembled as she called out. She then grabbed Tang Wulin’s arm. Even though she had a tight grip on his arm, the strength of an ordinary person like her was nothing to Tang Wulin, of course. It was only that her shout had thoroughly shocked him.

Almost instantaneously, Tang Wulin recalled how Gu Yuena used to address him similarly when she had amnesia. Ever since their relationship began, that period was the only time that they were together peacefully. Whenever he thought about that, Tang Wulin imagined that it would be great if they could just be together like that forever. Had it not been for the great responsibilities on his shoulders, perhaps he would be able to do that.



Father…
Ling Zichen called out once again. Tears were streaming down her cheeks while her body quivered ever so slightly.

It was very hard to imagine that such an overbearing person like her would have such a fragile side too.

Tang Wulin could not find it in himself to pull his arm away as he looked at her tears. He allowed her to hold him just like that.

Ling Zichen’s grip gradually loosened while her tensed body relaxed once again. However, she then put her head on Tang Wulin’s shoulder, and her entire body was pressing onto him. She acted as if she had found a calm harbour to hide from the storm and rubbed her cheek against Tang Wulin’s shoulder occasionally.

Tang Wulin immediately felt like he was in an awkward position. He wanted to push her away, but he did not have the heart to so when he saw her sleepy face calming down again. Nonetheless, Ling Zichen’s figure was too curvy. As soon as her body pressed against his arm, Tang Wulin felt the soft and bouncy sensation rubbing against it. Even though the car was moving smoothly, there were still some gentle movements after all. This made the sensation even more obvious, and it was becoming embarrassing for him at this point.

Sitting in the driver’s seat, Liu Jingyun darted a look into the rear view mirror and caught sight of them. His lips involuntarily twitched a few times. As the Amorous Douluo’s disciple, he was acquainted with Ling Zichen, of course. In reality, he had much experience of being scolded by her. Ling Zichen’s infamous reputation in the Tang Sect had ensured that everyone would avoid her as much as possible. More importantly, she was the goddess in the hearts of the technology geeks in the Tang Sect. No one dared to offend those scientists though…

As a result, Ling Zichen could be considered the uncrowned queen of the entire Tang Sect. Other than the two Limit Douluos, her status was almost the highest in the organization.
