Chapter 1817: 1817
The reality of this war had proven the importance of a superweapon in combat . Had it not been for the Eternal Heaven that destroyed the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array, perhaps the entire defensive line would be in deep trouble .
On the other hand, mankind was already capable of developing and producing Godkiller-ranked weapons . It only stopped due to the lack of resources and the assumption that there was no demand for such a deadly weapon .
Of course, the Federation hoped to restart the research after seeing just how much a threat the abyssal plane truly was . They were confident that they could hold back the abyssal plane with an adequate arsenal .
This time, even the Dove Faction had no objection . The bill for superweapon research was passed almost unanimously in the parliament, and permission to restart this project was given .
The parliament also extended an invitation to the Tang Sect after the project was restarted . The director of the Tang Sect’s soul weapon research center was invited to lead the project . All the resources needed for the research would be provided by the Federation . As for the terms of the arrangement, it would involve a rather long process .
Tang Wulin stood under the Life Subtree and gazed into the distance where the abyssal passage vanished . He had a look of deep thought in his eyes .
It had been seven days . It had already been seven full days since the abyssal passage disappeared . A layer of defensive works had already been completed around the spot where it vanished . Even more powerful defenses were being constructed .
The huge clash between the legion of humanity and the abyssal plane seemed to have drawn to a close once again . On the other hand, the Holy Spirit Cult’s wildly ambitious plan was thwarted due to the destruction of the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array . Tang Wulin had achieved Limit Douluo rank, and it seemed like everything was going well .
Even so, for some reason, Tang Wulin had an uneasy feeling . He constantly felt like the abyssal legion would appear again at some unexpected moment .
According to Gu Yuena, the vast majority of the abyssal energy produced during the destruction of the abyssal legion was reclaimed . Therefore, it would not take long before they could rebuild a new abyssal legion!
The crucial point was that the initiative was from the abyssal plane’s side and there was no way to predict their next arrival .
For Tang Wulin, the biggest gain was not the elevation of his cultivation base . He had been very close to Limit Douluo rank anyway . It was only a matter of time, especially with the feedback from the Ancient Gold Tree . His natural gifts had guaranteed his elevation .
The biggest gain from this was the kiss . The kiss that calmed him .
Yesterday, the Spirit Pagoda had already announced officially to the public that Silver Dragon Douluo Gu Yuena was appointed as their new Pagoda Master . She was the youngest one in history and a female Pagoda Master was rare as well .
As soon as news about this spread, it shocked the entire continent at once especially the soul master community .
Many people speculated that this was related to the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy’s comflict with the Spirit Pagoda . Meanwhile, the Qiangu Clan seemed to have retired from managing the Spirit Pagoda soon afterward .
Currently, the Spirit Pagoda’s powerhouses were still at the core area of Thule . Gu Yuena would ascend to her position officially once she returned to the headquarters and gained control of the greatest force on the continent .
Naturally, Tang Wulin could not meet her at this point, but he was really growing impatient . He had to wait until Gu Yuena was done dealing with the Qiangu Clan . Perhaps, it would be time to pay her a visit then . How great would it have been if the abyssal plane was no longer a threat?
He realized that the parliament may try to start trouble for them if the Spirit Pagoda’s Pagoda Master were to marry the Tang Sect’s Sect Master . After all, the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy rose recently and the Spirit Pagoda was the Federation’s number one organization . The alliance between these three forces would almost be equal to the domination of the soul masters of the entire continent! In addition, their overall influence would perhaps render the Federation completely useless .
‘Perhaps, I can resign from all my current duties when the situation has stabilized . That way, I can be with Gu Yue at last .
‘Hmm, I’ll do that then!’
At the thought of this, Tang Wulin could not help cracking into a faint smile .
Then, what should he do when the abyssal passage refused to reveal itself all this time?
Tang Wulin had already come up with some ideas .
When he was fighting against the abyssal legion, especially when the god-ranked Spirit Monarch appeared, he felt weak . Even though the Spirit Monarch’s spiritual rank was only at Divine Origin, the Spirit Monarch’s dominance did place a tremendous pressure on him . He was far from being able to fight against an entity of that rank with his current abilities .
Tang Wulin figured that Gu Yuena’s spiritual power had yet to achieve Divine Origin as well . After all, it was suppressed by the plane . Tang Wulin figured that he would need to be more powerful in order to be with her in the future . If his cultivation base was enough to suppress the abyssal plane, would it still bother him that the abyssal passage would open up someday?
Moreover, his goal had been to cultivate to Godhood all this time . It was only by reaching Godhood that he would be able to look for his parents!
Hence, Tang Wulin’s next plan was to elevate himself .
He did not just want to cultivate from demigod rank to quasigod rank, but more importantly, he also hoped to achieve a qualitative leap .
Eventually, his cultivation base would reach the quasigod realm . He should be able to achieve that without effort . His foundation was built deep and firm . Under such circumstances, he could only aim for one direction if he wished to make a qualitative leap .
When he recalled this, Tang Wulin’s consciousness jolted awake . A golden rune emerged on his forehead soundlessly . It was the shape of the golden trident .
The golden trident was given to him by his father . So far, Tang Wulin had only managed to pass three of its trials .
After going through tests, Tang Wulin discovered that his compatibility to the Sea God’s Trident would be higher every time he passed an examination and he would be able to utilize more of its power . He still had work to do before he could control it as easily as he controlled the Golden Dragon Spear .
He had already become a Limit Douluo . He should be qualified to take even more tests and receive the acceptance of the divine weapon .
No, it was not a divine weapon . It was a super divine weapon that was superior to even the Golden Dragon Spear!
If Tang Wulin could become a quasigod, perhaps he would stand a chance against the abyssal Sage King with this super divine weapon . He would be at the pinnacle of the world . How could Gu Yuena still find any excuses not to be with him then?
This was Tang Wulin’s plan . He had no idea when the abyssal passage would open up again . On the other hand, the golden trident’s examination would last for a very long time in another world, yet it would only be a short period on the Douluo Continent plane . It would be the most suitable method for Tang Wulin to elevate himself at this point .
…
At the Northern Ocean in Thule, enormous warships cruised on the surface of the sea with all sorts of sophisticated reconnaissance soul devices searching the maritime space in the surroundings . In their presence, even the extremely powerful sea soul beasts dared not come near .
Humans had long since become the dominant force on the entire continent, and soul beasts were incapable of fighting them .
Nevertheless, a humongous black shadow cruised slowly past a spot deep beneath the sea where the soul devices could not detect . Purple-gold gloss could be seen shimmering faintly on the body of that huge silhouette . It was also emitting a faint glow…
…
The abyssal legion came like a typhoon and went silent afterward . Had it not been for the Western Army Corps and Northern Army Corps’ severe losses, it was as if those terrifying creatures had never appeared in the calm world of Thule .
Half a month passed and the basic defense works had already been fully constructed . The army corps supplied the most powerful defensive soul devices they could offer . The Blood God Army had also begun casting the Blood Gods Great Array in the deep shell crater . It would take a very long time to complete the Blood Gods Great Array, but it seemed to be rather effective judging by the current situation .
Ling Zichen’s body was affected to a certain extent . After unleashing the Eternal Heaven, her life was saved by the Holy Spirit Douluo . That being said, she was suffering from severe residual complications after fusing herself with the Eternal Heaven and enduring the terrifying explosion . In the words of the Holy Spirit Douluo, the condition was known as Life Wither .
