Chapter 1818 Life Wither
After all, Ling Zichen was still an ordinary human being no matter how much genetic modification she had done to herself. The Eternal Heaven was extremely powerful. The terrifying reactive force had almost destroyed her completely despite how well-prepared she was and how accurate her theory had been.
Ling Zichen was lucky that she had the only recovery-type Limit Douluo in the world, the Holy Spirit Douluo Yali, with her. Moreover, there was also the Life Subtree.
The only way to treat Life Wither was to infuse a massive amount of life force continuously to stabilize her condition until her body could regenerate life force on its own once again.
It was apparently not an issue in the presence of the Life Subtree. However, Ling Zichen had to remain by the Life Subtree’s side until she had fully recovered.
The Holy Spirit Douluo told her that she could never utilize the Eternal Heaven in her lifetime ever again. Otherwise, even a God could not save her. Another Life Wither would completely destroy all her origin power, and the Eternal Heaven would perhaps end there and then.
Ling Zichen did not talk much about this, but those that were close to her knew that she was very hard to persuade when she was in full insanity mode. In any case, she was under the strictest protection because she was a walking Eternal Heaven!
The Federation’s rewards and disciplinary sanctions finally came about half a month after the abyssal passage disappeared. The Tang Sect and Shrek Academy were granted rewards in the form of numerous resources. The Northern Army Corps’ regimental commander received an official commendation and was promoted to colonel general. Had it not been for the countless lives the Northern Army Corps had given, there would not have been enough time to mobilize the other armies. It was highly possible that the interior of the continent would have been annihilated when the northern side fell.
It was just the opposite for the Western Army Corps’ regimental commander, the Ferocious Wolf Douluo Dong Zian. Dong Zian was court-martialed for disobeying military laws and orders which resulted in great losses for the Western Army Corps. Even the military minister could not protect him. However, he was a peak powerhouse after all, so the Federation still gave him some special leniency. In the end, he was demoted three ranks and ended up as a senior colonel. He was to serve in the Western Army Corps and follow instructions. The Western Army Corps was temporarily handed over to the Northwest Army Corps’ regimental commander, Yi Moshang. The specific regimental commander’s post would be adjusted when the abyssal passage guarding mission had ended.
On the other hand, the only information related to the Spirit Pagoda was that a new Pagoda Master was appointed. The incident of Qiangu Dongfeng’s proposal to Dong Zian was kept concealed as they hoped to maintain the reputation of the number one organization on the continent. After all, Qiangu Dongfeng had already paid the price for his sins.
In the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy’s camp, Tang Wulin hosted the postwar meeting.
“We called this meeting today to discuss whether we should return to the academy and if we should leave some people here for backup.”
It had already been fifteen days since the abyssal passage disappeared. The army would continue to be stationed there. After all, the location of their station would not affect the normal operations of the entire Federation. In comparison, it was not considered a big issue for the Tang Sect either because they only sent out their combat department this time.
Nevertheless, Shrek Academy could not! Almost all the high-end fighting forces from Shrek Academy were sent here in order to fight against the abyssal plane and the Holy Spirit Cult. As it was, these forces were also the most important teachers in the academy. People like Lan Muzi and Tang Yingmeng had just organized the inner court and they were still in the process of sifting through inner court disciples and training the younger teachers. They were supposed to be exceedingly busy with management tasks.
With the situation having been stabilized, it was time to discuss the matter of who was staying and who was leaving.
The Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi said, “There’s not much work at the Tang Sect and I’m still quite worried that the abyssal passage will open up at any moment. So many abyssal powerhouses came this time. They won’t just give up so easily regardless. After all, it must have taken a few years to finish building the Blood Gods Great Array. Also, there’s nothing we can do to confirm that the abyssal passage’s exit is not somewhere else in the distance.”
Tang Wulin said, “Will you please explain about the Blood Gods Great Array to everyone? Can it seal the abyssal passage like how it’s done at the Blood God Army?”
Cao Dezhi shook his head and said, “That’s very difficult. Or I should say that it’s almost impossible to recreate the same circumstances. This is because there were actually far fewer abyssal creatures from the abyssal plane six thousand years ago. The creatures were not as powerful back then either. Thus, we managed to control the abyssal passage after defeating the creatures. The numerous elite powerhouses at the time locked down the abyssal passage, and the Blood Gods Great Array was built directly on the abyssal passage as a deadlock.
“This time, the opposing side withdrew the abyssal passage, leaving behind coordinates that aren’t linked to the abyssal plane. The Blood Gods Great Array can only be cast on our plane and not on the linking point. This will take away our ability to predict the arrival of abyssal creatures and we won’t be able to utilize the Blood God Army’s defence at their arrival. Of course, it will still be effective at defending against the enemy to a certain extent if the abyssal passage were to appear at the original spot. However, it’s hard to tell just how effective it will be.
Tang Wulin nodded and said, “In that case, if the abyssal passage is linked back to us once again, we will still need to engage in another ferocious battle, right? Moreover, we might not be able to guard the abyssal passage as well, will we?”
Cao Dezhi, “That seems to be the case. However, the situation is still much better in comparison to what it was before. This is because our experience tells us that the abyssal passage will certainly appear at this location if it were to open up again. It’s almost impossible to change the coordinates and it can only be changed after it’s linked. Even though I don’t know how the Holy Spirit Cult opened up these new coordinates for them over here, I believe it is related to the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array, and that has already been destroyed. Unless the Holy Spirit Cult can build another, it’s almost impossible to change the coordinates.”
Tang Wulin said, “Understood. Then, our Tang Sect shall stay back to assist in the defense works. What are your suggestions in regards to the academy?”
As he was speaking, he shifted his gaze to look toward the Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue.
Long Yeyue said, “I suggest for us to stay for a slightly longer period of time to avoid unwanted problems. However, the Ancient Life Tree in the academy is connected to the Life Subtree here. We will still be able to transfer ourselves here in time by sacrificing a certain amount of life force. Hence, the rest of us should return first, save a few whose cultivation base is at rank-99. We can’t hold up our normal teaching work and we must prepare for the new intake next semester. There should be quite a large number of students enrolling this year. Also, Ling Zichen’s words earlier made sense. We should set up a new subject that doesn’t necessarily just accept outstanding students in soul technology, but it should be opened to non-soul master people gifted with special talents from the entire Federation.”
“Shrek Academy’s motto set down by our forefathers stated that we only accept monsters, not ordinary people, but that doesn’t mean that we only accept soul masters.”
Tang Wulin nodded and said, “I agree. Soul technology is advancing at a rapid pace now, so we can’t be stagnant by insisting on accepting only soul masters.”
The Eternal Heaven’s terrifying power moved every single person immensely, especially after listening to Ling Zichen’s statement the other day. With her theory established, it signified that mankind’s soul technology could very possibly enter its next era. As a result, they could start taking steps to.exploring the cosmos.
If Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect did not wish to get left behind, they would need to prepare for all outcomes by strategizing their research. Fortunately, the information was discovered by the Tang Sect’s soul weapon research center’s director. They were already one step ahead of everyone else.
