Wait for none

Outer space

Fab Lin had been waiting for the abyssal Ruler for nearly three months and the Abyssal Realm hadn't done anything.

"If they are not coming then I will go and attack them. Wasting anymore time on them will delay the divine Realm construction plan and that should not happen."

He checked his energy reserves and coldly said.

"Hmm, where was the location of the portal to the Abyssal Realm...?"

"Yun Ming might know."

Fan Lin disappeared from the outer space.

....

The Holy Spirit Cult.

"Where is he?"

The Black Empress roared to the other. All the other Evil Soul Masters lowered their heads with fear and dread in their hearts.

They were scared for their life.

The other heads of the Holy Spirit Cult tried to calm down the Black Empress but to no avail.

The Holy Spirit Cult has put down the plan of creating the Abyssal passage to the Douluo realm just to hunt Fan Lin down and use his life force as a sacrifice to the Bloodriver God array but Fan Lin was nowhere to be found.

Adding to the fact that their members were being hunted by every force in the Douluo Realm, their forces were dwindling at a rapid rate.

"One more week, if he doesn't show himself in that time, we start the Blood river God array. Contact the Abyssal Realm and tell them to prepare the forces."

The Black Empress ordered her subordinates.

"Yes. My Liege."

A deafening chorus of voices thundered as the devout and zealous followers of the Holy Spirit Cult roared in epiphany.

They realised that the time for the great end that the leaders of the Holy Spirit Cult promised has come.

The world would soon be filled with death energy and they will thrive!

The zealots screamed in elation and they were the only forces that the Holy Spirit Cult has left.

The others died, be it in the hands of the other forces or by the Holy Spirit Cult.

....

Outside Shrek

Fan Lin appeared in front of Shrek.

Yun Ming appeared in front of him in less than a second. This time, however, the others didn't show up.

"Where is the location of the Abyssal passage?"

Fan Lin asked Yun Ming.

"Why do you want to know that?"

Yun Ming asked with wary.

On the day that Fan Lin killed Qiangu Dieting, Yun Ming realised that Fan Lin had changed and he can't fathom how.

He didn't know if the change in Fan was good or not.

The current Fan Lin was difficult to understand as he felt calm but even the centre of the storm has calmness in it and Yun Ming didn't know, not did he understood if the emotional harmony of Fan Lin was just an illusion hiding his true nature or is it genuine.

"I want to kill him."

Fan Lin said.

Yun Ming looked at Fan Lin and then sighed.

"Whatever you do, don't regret it."

Yun Ming said while gave him the coordinates of the Abyssal passage.

It was a small map pointing at the location of the Abyssal passage.

"The Abyssal passage was mostly sealed by Wulin and probably Gu Yue, only a small part of it exists. Be careful."

Yum Ming said and returned to the new Shrek Academy.

Fan Lin looked at the new Shrek and disappeared from there as well.

His destination, the Abyssal passage.

'To not do something that I regret, is it even possible?'

....

The Abyssal plane is where the abyssal creatures came from. Six thousand three hundred years ago, an abyssal tunnel appeared in the Endless Mountains. Throngs of abyssal creatures came in great number onto the Endless Mountains and migrated onto Douluo Continent. Because it took place in the secluded western part of the continent where the population is sparse and also the blackout on information by the Federation, there were only a handful of people who knew about the abyssal creatures. All life on the Endless Mountains were exterminated.

Fortunately, the Federation noticed the invasion early on, so the invasion did not spread to the inner part of the continent. The Federation had practically mobilized two-thirds of its armies to eradicate these abyssal creatures. With the combined efforts of Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, the Spirit Pagoda, and the Battle God Hall, in cooperation with the eleven mecha regiments, and countless fixed soul ammunitions, they eventually managed to push the abyssal creatures back into the tunnel.

In that battle, more than two hundred people died. The Tang Sect Douluo Hall Hall Master had died during a fight with an abyssal creature's plane king. Four of the Shrek Seven Monsters of that generation had died. Ten of the Battle God Hall's eighteen battle gods had died. Three of the Four Great Spiriters of the Spirit Pagoda had died. Of the three main and deputy hall masters, one had died while the other was gravely injured. It is said that the battle was absolutely horrifying. After that, they had forcibly sealed the abyss's tunnel. They weren't able to seal it completely, but abyssal creatures above the rank of King would find it difficult to pass through the tunnel. In addition, the Blood God Army, an elite force consisting of the most exceptional soul masters in the military, was formed to monitor and protect the seal, unbeknownst to the public and even lower caste military.

[I was going to place this at the end of the chapter but have it here now. You will need this info in the upcoming few chapters of this arc.]

...

Endless mountain.

Fan Lin sped up and appeared near the spatial passage that was mentioned in the map that Yun Ming gave him.

"Who are y__?"

Some random guards tried to stop Fan Lin from approaching but with a sweep of his palm, they scattered into the scenery.

Fan Lin didn't kill them nor did he seriously hurt them, he just throw them really far.

"So this is the spacial tunnel that connects to the Abyssal plane."

Fan Lin stood in front of the warping hole that felt like it was trying to devour the reality.

"I am Rank 97 right now, my energy reserves are about 376 times my energy capacity."

"I can blow this planet with just a percent of my strength. So..."

"Would I fare against that Abyssal Ruler? I don't know, it could be a hasty judgement but Wulin will be 26 in a few months."

"The plot of the Legend of the Dragon king ended with him being 26 so the end is near."

"Before the plot ends, the humans and the Soul beasts would usher in a fight like the beast tide that happened 10,000 years ago."

"The soul beasts would die. Lots of them and for a stupid reason as well."

"I need to finish the Abyssal Ruler before Wulin turns 26 and then either stop the scenario of the human vs spirit beast or shift the spirit beasts in my Divine Realm (which hasn't been created)."

Fan Lin mumbled as he stood in front of the Abyssal passage.

'Let's kill the Abyssal Ruler before he ascends to a higher stage by devouring the Douluo realm and think about the future at that time.'

"He is going to attack from the Absolute/Extreme North.

Fan Lin took one last look at the spatial passage and entered it without any hesitation.

....

End of the chapter for now. I know it's short but take this as the introductory filler for the second last arc of this story.

Here is more info dump for people who have not read the dd3.

Abyssal plane.

The entire plane can be classified as a single complete living organism. The abyssal creatures are but its cells. When the cells die, the energy will be recycled and new cells are made, therefore creating more abyssal creatures. The Abyssal plane has a total of 108 layers. Every layer is connected via spatial passages, and a monarch resides on each level. Hence, there are actually one hundred and eight monarch-ranked existences. The core of those layers is the Abyssal Sacred Monarch. The top three layers only contain one creature each, beceause each of them was the only creature on their separate levels, they were known as the Three Abyssal Saints.

Each layer has an Abyssal Monarch. Once the monarch is truly dead, it might lead to the crumbling of that layer's abyssal plane. The abyssal creatures belonging to the plane will also crumble completely and die out. After all, even if they can be reborn, the process of recovery after death is extremely long and arduous.

73rd-108h layer - Human Titled Douluo Level Strength [Mostly wiped out]

37th - 72nd layer - Human Hyper Douluo Level Strength [Will be wiped out]

19th-36th layer - Human Limit Douluo Level Strength

2nd-18th layer - Human Quasi-God Level Strength

1st layer - Human God Level Strength

The energy from the plane is able to devour the origin energy from the Douluo Planet and strengthen the Abyssal Plane.

Next chapter tomorrow.

By the way, this is my old writing and it feels... Trashy.

So bear with it for now.

I have already set the chapters in auto so each chapter will be posted at a regular intervals of one chapter a day and 12 chapters on 12 December.

Lastly, I want to ask you guys for something.

You see, I am rewriting this story but the more I rewrite, the more emotional I feel.

Because I am essentially just ending this story.

So my question is: Should I create another book for the rewrite and leave this story as it as, while also restoring the previous 19 chapters to what they were?

I have planned out 7 canon routes for this novel and even if I add another book, the canon lines will still be 7.

Or...

I should inlay the rewrite on it and let the previous one be forgotten?

I am conflicted, like a lot. So you are free to suggest but you only have time till 12 Dec 2022.

Lastly, as a side note.

What about the actual character art of Fan Lin, not the free ones that I got and then learnt that they were AI created.

But actual art of Fan Lin made by actually hiring an artist and getting it done.

Would you like that? Just asking.

Bye.

And as I have said before, the chapters will come daily, I have already set them on timer in the Webnovel.

As for why daily?

Because Webnovel has this weird algorithm that it pushes books that are consistent.

That's it.
