Poseidon Pavilion is located in the center of Poseidon Island.
It was carved on the trunk of the ancient golden tree by Shrek without damaging the ancient golden tree itself. After successive renovations and improvements, it reached its current scale.
Poseidon Pavilion is the highest decision-making center of Shrek Academy.
It represents honor and heritage. Every policy and resolution of the college must be approved by Poseidon Pavilion before it can be implemented. Therefore, he has irreplaceable authority and status in the college.
On weekdays, there are several strong men at the Super Douluo level stationed there.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is the safest place on Douluo Continent.
However--
It is such an impregnable and heavily guarded Poseidon Pavilion. At this moment, in Su Luoheng's field of vision, it collapsed with the terrifying roar from before.
Or, to be more precise, be devoured!
The holy and flawless ancient golden tree, which represented light and hope, suddenly burst apart. The indescribable filth like black mud emerged from the broken tree trunk.
A disgustingly rich stench instantly erupted, filling the air between heaven and earth. The entire sky was rendered black and gray, and even the air became filthy.
Immediately afterwards, the black mud full of filth and decay almost completely enveloped the tall and majestic golden ancient tree in an instant. And it is still spreading and expanding rapidly!
The moment the black mud erupted, the fragile balance between the power of luck and the poison of faith inside the golden ancient tree had been completely broken. It could no longer bear this huge load and collapsed instantly.
The Poseidon Pavilion, which is built on the basis of golden ancient trees, will also not be spared.
In Su Luoheng's field of vision, it was like being swallowed by filth.
After the black mud formed by the poison of faith got rid of the shackles of the golden ancient tree, it quickly spread towards the surroundings like the huge waves rolling in.
The collapse of the golden ancient tree started from the inside out. In addition, the mutation occurred so quickly that by the time they reacted, nearly half of the Poseidon Pavilion elders had been buried in the black mud.
Those cultivating students in the inner courtyard cannot escape the bad luck.
"Help, help!"
"Help me, I don't want to die, ah!"
"No, don't come over!"
"..."
Screams were heard one after another, and they had no time to react as they were all swept away by this sudden upheaval. Suddenly there were heavy casualties. Even the corpses were swallowed up by the black mud.
In the entire Shrek inner courtyard, only a few dozen people escaped.
This is all so weird.
They don't even know what caused this disaster?
The unknown is the scariest thing.
At this moment, as the ancient golden tree was washed away by the monstrous mud, Poseidon Pavilion ceased to exist. The fall of Poseidon Island... A wave of panic swept through all the remaining Shrek teachers and students, with screams and cries happening one after another.
"Gone?"
"Shrek Academy..."
"Poseidon Island is just... gone?!"
Su Luoheng's pupils shrank suddenly and his expression became solemn.
The scene in front of me was really terrifying. Even though he had anticipated the eruption of the golden ancient tree, when he witnessed this moment with his own eyes, he was still shocked by the destructive sight.
This kind of crisis...
How should I cope with it?
And all this is far from over!
The black mud is still spreading to all directions, and the speed is getting faster and faster!
Almost in the blink of an eye, the entire Poseidon Island was covered. And with Poseidon Island as the center, across Poseidon Lake, it quickly spread to Shrek's outer courtyard.
The black mud was raging like a flood.
The entire Shrek Academy is unstoppable.
Seeing that Shrek Academy was about to be destroyed, Xuanzi led the remaining titled Douluo and a group of teachers and students in Shrek Academy to try to stop the spread of sludge.
but……
All their actions are doomed to be in vain.
Xuanzi activated his martial soul true form, hoping to stop Heini with his own strength approaching the ultimate Douluo level. But he couldn't hold on for even a second, and his body was swallowed up by the black mud!
Immediately afterwards, the remaining Poseidon Pavilion elders were also submerged in the black mud without any resistance. Then there are the teachers and students from the inner and outer courts...
Once they encounter the invasion of black mud, they have no chance to resist and struggle. I can only watch myself being submerged and swallowed up by it. Until life completely withers away.
"How can it be?!"
"Pavilion Master, Dean!"
"Teacher, all the teachers are dead!"
"No, don't even come here!"
"..."
Seeing this, the remaining Shrek teachers and students all turned pale with horror.
For a moment, everyone fled in all directions, and no one dared to try to stop the spread of black mud without knowing their own strength. I just hope that I can go faster and escape to heaven.
However, the black mud spreads too fast. A large number of Shrek students were caught up by the black mud behind them before they could even take a few steps away. Eventually it was swallowed up.
For a time, mourning flooded the land and blood flowed into rivers.
The erosion speed of the black mud has simply reached an incredible level.
From the time when the poison of faith erupted in the golden ancient tree to now, in less than five minutes, the originally brilliant Shrek Academy has been turned into a purgatory on earth.
The black mud spread like a flood.
All buildings were destroyed or corroded by it.
Wherever it passes, life is devastated.
All life withers away.
No matter you are a human soul master, a plant or a soul beast; whether you are a nine-ring titled soul master or a one-ring soul master; whether you are a ten-year soul beast or a ten-thousand-year soul beast.
As long as it touches this black mud, even a trace will be quickly corroded. In the face of this indiscriminate death, life seemed so equal and fragile for the first time.
All the bodies were swallowed up by the black mud.
And their skin, internal organs, hair, muscles, etc., everything was dissolved bit by bit in the black mud, just like being soaked in concentrated sulfuric acid.
Soon, only a skeleton was left.
Then, under the continuous erosion of the black mud, the remaining bones could not escape the fate of being dissolved. They slowly turned into pieces one by one, until they finally dissolved completely, leaving no trace.
And the culprit behind all this is Black Mud.
They are still spreading and devouring crazily.
At this moment, Su Luoheng was in the air overlooking this scene.
"Shrek, it's over..."
Black mud has covered most of the area. Even the surrounding Shrek City and the adjacent wild jungle could not escape the disaster. Endless darkness enveloped the entire area, and the suffocating darkness made people feel extremely hopeless.
He never expected that the situation would develop to this extent. Even with the strength of the Ultimate Douluo level, it is completely useless in front of this black mud.
This hell on earth is inevitable.
Thinking of Tang San, the culprit who caused all this!
Su Luoheng gritted his teeth angrily and his eyes turned red.
"damn thing!"
"Tang San, you are such a fucking beast!"
After scolding angrily, Su Luoheng took a deep breath.
He clenched and relaxed his fists to force himself to calm down.
Now that things have come to this, what's the use of scolding him?
For now, it is better to make plans before the poison of faith in the golden ancient tree completely breaks out. Reduce the impact of the outbreak as much as possible.
This is what you should do.
"..."
at the same time.
The black mud is still spreading rapidly in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, the scope of this dark area has expanded to the outskirts of the Star Forest. I'm afraid it won't be long before the entire Star Dou Forest is swallowed up.
"..."
Just when Su Luoheng thought everything was over, he found that he could not exit this space.
"Are there any other questions?"
Thinking of this, Su Luoheng looked at the dark area again.
Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
In the endless black mud, there were dozens of corpses of soul beasts and humans that had not been completely corroded and dissolved like other corpses. Instead, it floated peacefully on the black mud.
It's like being carried by the sea.
"This is……"
Su Luoheng frowned slightly and then closed the distance.
After observing carefully for a moment, he found that whether these corpses were soul beasts or soul masters, their soul power during life was basically around the level of Titled Douluo. There are a few familiar faces among them.
Perhaps it was for this reason that their bodies were not dissolved by the black mud in the first place. Just as Su Luoheng was thinking this, the corpse in front of him suddenly changed!
I saw that whether it was the corpse of a soul beast or a soul master, their originally flat abdomen gradually expanded like a balloon, and became more and more bulging as time went by.
The stomachs of those corpses had expanded to the extreme, and they suddenly began to squirm violently. Just like a pregnant woman who is about to give birth for ten months.
The swollen belly is almost transparent, and you can vaguely see something pregnant inside!
"This is……"
"Is it... related to the poison of faith?"
Such a strange scene aroused Su Luoheng's vigilance.
Just when he was guessing the reason, there was a muffled sound of "puff", and a pair of dark claws penetrated from the bulging abdomen, and then tore their abdomen open!
Immediately afterwards, a monster whose whole body was stained red with blood emerged from it.
"Ouch——"
With a roar to the sky, the monster shook off the blood on its body, revealing its true face that was dark, twisted, and terrifying!
"What the hell is this?!"
Even though Su Luoheng was well-informed, when he saw these ugly monsters crawling out of the corpses, his heart couldn't help but twitch violently.
But analyzing the clues just now: the monster is formed from black mud and corpses. And not all corpses can produce monsters, they must have soul power of around Titled Douluo before death.
As for the others, not much has been discovered yet.
But before he could think too much, Su Luoheng in his ghost state was shrouded in the golden light of the power of destiny. Immediately afterwards, consciousness left this space.
And with Su Luoheng's departure, the space constructed by the Eye of Destiny also shattered.
…
…
outside world.
"Shrek..."
"The golden ancient tree, Poseidon Island, monsters..."
Su Luoheng opened his eyes again.
Recalling the future scenes predicted through the Eye of Destiny, his eyes flashed with an unprecedented solemnity. At this moment, he finally understood why the senior emphasized the ancient golden tree.
It was even judged to be likely to destroy the Douluo Continent!
Now, after seeing the scene after the Golden Ancient Tree erupted, Su Luoheng didn't feel that he was exaggerating at all. If the poison of faith is allowed to go unchecked, this disaster will surely sweep across the continent.
But how can I break the situation now?
Although the senior said that when he chose to fight against the God Realm, he would naturally have a way to solve the crisis of the golden ancient tree. But at this moment, he still had no clue.
"..."
Suddenly, Su Luoheng looked at Gu Qianqiu.
Just now, he remembered the reminder from that ancestor: Soul beasts are not mortal enemies.
Does this sentence mean cooperating with soul beasts?
Are they the key to solving the golden ancient tree?
Gu Qianqiu has also seen similar futures... maybe they are also the key to breaking the situation?
Su Luoheng's eyes narrowed slightly, thoughtfully.
Just then, a familiar voice sounded.
"You see the future again? Will it be troublesome?"
Snow Emperor walked to Su Luoheng's side, his eyes slightly focused.
From his demeanor, I can guess that.
"Um."
Su Luoheng took a deep breath and looked solemn.
"The future that Gu Qianqiu saw may actually happen soon... Once the Golden Ancient Tree breaks out, it will be a disaster that can affect the entire continent."
As soon as he said this, Snow Emperor also became serious.
"Sister Xue, we need to prepare in advance."
"And this crisis will sweep across the entire continent, and it will be difficult to stop it with our strength alone. But Shrek Academy has the ideological restraints of Tang Shenwang, so we can only rule it out."
"The senior who left that cave once reminded me: Soul beasts are not natural enemies. So I plan to bring in the Star Dou Forest. After all, their overall strength is not weak."
Emperor Xue's eyes flashed slightly and he immediately understood, "What do you mean...let Gu Qianqiu go back and inform Ditian and the others?"
"Um."
Su Luoheng nodded.
After pondering for a moment, the Snow Emperor said solemnly: "If it will affect the entire continent as you said, then I also need to go back to the far north to explain."
"Okay, I'll accompany you."
"Um."
"..."
After some discussion, the two decided to notify the Star Dou Forest and the Far North of the crisis in advance.
As for why not inform Shrek Academy?
Because Su Luoheng used future vision to deduce the result: if Shrek Academy is informed, Tang Shenwang will trigger a chain reaction and trigger a worse future.
Therefore, Su Luoheng could only exclude it.
Speaking of deducing the future, thanks to the evolution of the Eye of Destiny, the observation ability of Future Vision has also been improved: the observation time has been extended, personal observation has become more precise, and the consumption of soul power has been relatively reduced.
For example, it was previously possible to see three minutes of the future, but now it can be seen for five minutes; whereas originally, for an individual, one could only see its past whereabouts, but now one can see the picture directly.
You can also look at an individual's future.
You can make observations according to your own assumptions, etc.
The reason why Su Luoheng was able to deduce the future after telling Shrek was because of his improved future vision. Otherwise, the original future vision would not be able to see such a distant future.
