Chapter 1766: The Identity of the Seven Old Demons (Subscription Request)_1
Tang Wulin felt a chill in his heart, thinking that if he had also succumbed just now, he probably would have been haunted by its shadow for a lifetime…
And the Desire Demon, clapping his hands contentedly, said, "Very good, very good, this is exactly the result I wanted!"
It's a pity, though, that only one person fell!
Tang Wulin said coldly, "You old devils really have your own twisted tastes!"
The Desire Demon was not annoyed and responded leisurely, "This is not about having twisted tastes, but rather testing your own willpower. If your willpower isn't strong enough, it's no one else's fault that you receive some punishment, right?"
As the words fell, the Desire Demon and the other seven light screens all disappeared...
Only after he had left did Tang Wulin breathe a sigh of relief and muttered to himself, "The fifth old demon has appeared. Could it be that there are a total of seven old demons on Demon Island?"
Wait a minute… If there really are seven old demons, do they have some sort of connection with the Shrek Seven Monsters?
Or could it be, they were once the Shrek Seven Monsters?
With this thought, Tang Wulin shook his head, "What am I thinking? With such despicable methods as these old devils', how could they possibly be the Shrek Seven Monsters!"
He just hoped now that Yue Zhengyu could maintain his true self under such circumstances; otherwise, it was very likely that psychological shadows would lead to estrangement from Xu Xiaoyan!
As he pondered, the lights and shadows around him began to rapidly invert, and the intense white light forced him to close his eyes…
When he opened them again, he was back in the valley he had first entered upon arriving at Demon Island…
However, after looking around, he found that he was the only one there; there was no sign of Xie Xie or the others!
Tang Wulin grew wary, "Hmm? How did I get back to the original valley?"
Could it be the work of another unknown old demon?
"Young man, congratulations on passing the trial!"
A corpulent old man, easily the size of two or three people, emerged from the forest ahead.
Compared to the other old demons, his features appeared somewhat younger!
Tang Wulin stared at him intently and asked with bewilderment, "You say I have passed, what do you mean by that?"
According to his calculation of time since entering Demon Island, only half a year had passed, not the two years mentioned by the Pavilion Master!
Could it be... that this was a deception?
The corpulent elder smiled faintly, "It means exactly what it says. You have successfully passed the old demons' trials. There's no need to think that I'm deceiving you, as it would serve no purpose!"
After a pause, he continued, "As for the so-called two-year limit, that's just the time it takes a normal Soul Master to complete all the trials. You, on the other hand, have completed all the trials ahead of time, naturally shortening the period!"
"By the way, you probably don't know the origins of the old demons here on Demon Island, do you?"
Tang Wulin didn't answer, but his gaze said it all…
The corpulent elder nodded, "It seems you don't know, so I will tell you all about it!"
As the words fell, a round wooden table suddenly appeared in front of them, laid out with a variety of foods!
Although a bit hungry, Tang Wulin chose not to eat, out of caution.
The corpulent old man did not force him but turned to the empty space nearby and called, "Desire Demon, come out!"
The next second, the youthful and beautiful Desire Demon appeared beside them…
This simple act made Tang Wulin's pupils constrict, "Not only can they appear out of nowhere, but they also don't emit any soul power fluctuation. How strong are they, really!"
The Desire Demon waved his hand at Tang Wulin with a teasing tone, "Tang Wulin, right? We meet again!"
The chubby elder beside him said helplessly, "Desire Demon, I'm currently introducing our identities and Demon Island to this youngster!"
The Desire Demon paused, then politely said, "Oh, I see, then all right!"
The elder's face turned a bit more serious, "Okay, let me start from the beginning. This Demon Island appeared out of nowhere a thousand years ago. It was formed by fragments that fell from the sky, and it possesses two completely different energies!"
"You must be able to feel it, right?"
Tang Wulin's eyes narrowed slightly, "Hmm, could this be why Demon Island presents two different scenes on the inside and outside?"
The elder did not deny it, affirming, "That's right! You're smart. One of the energies contains a rich Life Force, while the other is imbued with destructive power! These two energies have caused the changes we see in Demon Island today."
Tang Wulin pressed on, "Then about what you mentioned earlier, how could it possibly be that fragments fell from the sky!"
After all, there's clearly nothing above us, so how could these so-called fragments fall down!
The Desire Demon interjected, "We once thought the same, but with continuous exploration, we can now be sure that these fragments and the two energies didn't originate from this planet itself!"
"That is to say, beyond this planet, there are many different worlds! Similar to the ancestor of the Tang Sect, Tang San, who came from the Divine Realm; it is highly likely to be a real place!"
Just two sentences shattered all of Tang Wulin's beliefs...
The Divine Realm...
So, going by that, when I first arrived at the Spirit Pagoda, I seemed to have resonated with the Dragonfly Douluo, Tang Wutong...
Seeing that Tang Wulin looked somewhat startled, the chubby elder asked, "What? Do you find it unbelievable?"
Tang Wulin came to his senses, "Hmm... it is indeed somewhat difficult to comprehend."
The elder did not mock but rather reminded, "If you can't accept all this, then what I'm about to say next might just creep you out more!"
...
After the chubby elder finished explaining their identities and the matters of Demon Island...
Tang Wulin's face was a mix of uneasy emotions...
The old demons on Demon Island were indeed the Shrek Seven Monsters of yesteryear!
And to some extent, by absorbing the Life Force and Destruction Force, they managed to survive for over a thousand years, guarding Demon Island all this while!
In his heart, the respect he had for them grew a bit more!
The chubby elder took a deep breath and thought, "Alright, we've finished our story up to this point. Now, do you have any more doubts?"
Tang Wulin responded with a wry smile, "Senior sires, since you were once the Shrek Seven Monsters, why use such a distasteful method to help us?"
The corner of Desire Demon's mouth twitched upward in denial, "Distasteful? No no no, this is the method all seven of us old demons collectively deemed best to quickly enhance the strength of the military training students!"
"Perhaps the methods are somewhat harsh, but if it's all for your own good!"
Being once the Shrek Seven Monsters, how could they not wish for the academy to become strong?
