Chapter 1790: 1790
It would evolve from the Ancient Life Tree to the Ancient Gold Tree . Its prior strength would be restored when it was on the Sea God’s Island . Moreover, the resurrected tree would be even stronger than the Ancient Gold Tree of the past . The crown of the tree would grow and break above the surface of the water .
‘That’s really awesome!’ Tang Wulin was overjoyed in his heart .
At the same time, the Ancient Life Tree told him the reason behind its evolution was due to the tremendous life energy channeled by him . The life force from devouring the abyssal creatures was extremely nourishing to the Ancient Life Tree because it came from a different plane . The higher the rank of the abyssal creature, the higher the quality of the life force . The Ancient Life Tree needed more of such energy for its evolution . Hence, it informed Tang Wulin of its needs .
“I’ll certainly try my best . ” Tang Wulin saluted the Ancient Gold Tree respectfully . Then, he leaped up and shot to the surface of the water and hovered in the sky .
Just as he was about to fly toward Shrek Academy’s main building, he discovered something different .
He noticed in astonishment that the initially barren lake shore had turned lush . Moreover, the lush green, lively plants growing and filled with life source were actually the familiar Bluesilver Grass .
His martial soul was the Bluesilver Grass . One could imagine how excited he was, especially when he realized that the Bluesilver Grass would sway toward him upon sensing his aura .
If one were to look down from the sky at present, one would see the enormous Sea God Lake surrounded by a faint blue ring . As compared to the ordinary Bluesilver Grass, the color of the Bluesilver Grass here was a clear, vivid blue . Illuminated by the sunlight, the grass blades reflected a silver tinge .
It felt amazing . The refreshing, moist air carried a faint scent of the flora . The Sea God Lake’s shore was as magnificent as a fairy land in the mortal world .
Tang Wulin was deeply touched by the scene . At the same time, the emotions in Tang Wulin’s heart grew more resolute .
‘I must protect the continent regardless . I must protect Shrek so that the evil demon’s clutch won’t plague our side anymore . ’
He dialed his soul communicator .
Soon, a familiar voice was heard coming from the other end of the call .
“What’s up?” The question was simple and direct .
“I’m back, where are you?” asked Tang Wulin .
“You’re back? Is everything alright at the frontline?” The inquiring voice from the other end of the soul communicator sounded deeply concerned .
“I’m alright . Let’s talk more when we meet . ”
Five minutes later, Tang Wulin appeared before Ling Zichen .
The numerous Tang Sect and Shrek powerhouses had all left so Ling Zichen was left in charge of Shrek City . With her around, the Soul Circuit Defense System in the city was activated, so there was no need to fear any surprise attacks .
“What? You want to take the Eternal Heaven? No, I don’t agree . ” Ling Zichen’s voice was raised eight pitches instantly . She worked hard to change her behavior, to become a gentler person whenever she was with Tang Wulin .
Yet, when she was provoked, she immediately returned to her normal self .

Tang Wulin heaved a sigh . “Zichen, listen to me . This is not just a matter of our Tang Sect and Shrek anymore . It’s a catastrophe that’s about to erupt on our continent . The Eternal Heaven is perhaps the only weapon that can destroy the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array . We must destroy this array regardless . We’re duty bound to do it, and we’ve no time to lose . ”
The Eternal Heaven was also under this scientist’s control! Ever since the Eternal Heaven was acquired for research purposes, Ling Zichen made a qualitative leap in the development of soul technology . After all, the Eternal Heaven was the fruit of the hard work and effort put in by the countless numbers of scientists . It inspired her greatly .
“What if you still can’t break it with the Eternal Heaven?” said Ling Zichen in objection . She refused to part with it! She really could not bear to part with it .
The more she studied the Eternal Heaven, the more she learned about the mysteries and wonders of this device . Such a colossal amount of energy was condensed into such a tiny fixed soul ammunition . Just how profound was the science behind it then? To her, the Eternal Heaven would serve its function the most in her scientific research .
Moreover, the device was not considered a weapon in the scientists’ eyes but a piece of art . It was an artistic product of science .
Ling Zichen had spent half a month sleeping next to it when she first acquired it . Most nights, she would find herself waking up from her sleep after having laughed too hard .
At present, her eyes reddened with grief upon learning that Tang Wulin was going to take the Eternal Heaven away .
“I’m sorry, Zichen . We need it . Even if it’s proven ineffective in the end, we must give it a try at the very least . Otherwise, out of the massacre, the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array will yield a god . By then, the entire continent will be destroyed! We have no other choice . I understand how you feel . For the sake of the entire continent, we really don’t have any other choice . Please get ready . ”
Ling Zichen looked at him with a burning gaze . Crystal clear tears were pooling in her eyes . She did not have any intention to move .
Tang Wulin opened his mouth in an attempt to say something . Yet, he could not bear to do it upon looking at her .
Just as he made up his mind to urge her again, all of a sudden, Ling Zichen threw herself into his arms and bawled aloud .
“I don’t want to, I don’t want to part with it! Do you know that the technology behind the Eternal Heaven contains the labors of my parents’ efforts? I feel like I can see my father and mother when I look at it . It feels like they are protecting me . I really don’t want to part with it . Please don’t take it away . I beg of you . ”
Tang Wulin choked up and his eyes reddened immediately . He hugged Ling Zichen gently . He understood her feelings all too well .
The memories of Tang Wulin’s parents haunted his dreams for many nights after Tang Ziran and his wife disappeared in the past . He had missed his parents badly during the time . Shortly after he met with them, they were again separated when his parents died . Had it not been his biological father who brought him a wisp of hope, he might have suffered from a mental breakdown .
On the other hand, Ling Zichen’s parents were already gone . The Eternal Heaven was her only refuge .
Therefore, Tang Wulin understood how Ling Zichen felt at the moment . Yet, what could he do then?
He patted her back gently in an attempt to pacify her emotions . “I’m sorry, Zichen . I’m sorry, but we have no other choice . Your parents would have hoped that it could protect the continent in the future too when they developed the Eternal Heaven . Perhaps, where I’m taking it now is the best place for it . Maybe, we may never find another way to make another Eternal Heaven . At the very least, using this large-scale destructive weapon in this war is better than having it explode on the continent beyond our control . Even if the Eternal Heaven is gone, the technology left behind by your parents will still be here . That’s what they’ve left behind for you . ”
Ling Zichen’s body was convulsing non-stop . However, she felt especially safe when she was leaning on his chest . It was a feeling, an ineffable feeling .
All of a sudden, she raised her head and looked up at Tang Wulin .
“On two conditions . ”
“Go ahead . ” Tang Wulin heaved a sigh . At this very moment, there was no reason for him to disagree with Ling Zichen’s conditions .
“Firstly, I’m going with you . The Eternal Heaven’s power can be amplified the most only if I launch it . ”
Tang Wulin nodded without the slightest hesitation . “Sure, I promise you . ”
Ling Zichen took a deep breath and said, “Secondly, I want to draw some of your blood for research purposes . You must consent to the procedure . ”
“My blood?” Tang Wulin looked at her in puzzlement .
Ling Zichen said, “Apart from soul technology, I perform research in the field of biotechnology as well . I need some of your blood . Will you consent to that? An outstanding genius such as yourself certainly carries some special traits in your genes . I’d like to do some research on it . ”
