Chapter 3267: Next Step Plan_1
Tang Wulin pursed his lips and turned his gaze towards Yue Zhengyu and the others, asking, "What do you all think?"
Xie Xie lifted his chin proudly and said, "Wulin, do we even need to ask about such a matter? Dealing with the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters is our responsibility as Elders of the Sea God Pavilion; naturally, we cannot give up!"
Yue Zhengyu was also unequivocal in his agreement, "That's right, so what if the Ghost Emperor has broken through to the God Rank? As long as we unite, we will definitely be able to slay him!!"
Xu Xiaoyan clenched her fists, "Mhm, isn't he just a guy who's recently ascended to godhood? Don't forget, Wulin, you are the descendant of the Sea God!!"
Xu Lizhi smiled in his simple and honest way, "Hehe, going by what Xiao Yan just said, since we're all students of Teacher Xu, does that not mean we're also disciples of the Divine King??"
Ye Xinglan, however, ignored the former's comment and cut in, "No matter what, our goal is to eradicate the Evil Soul Masters and prevent them from threatening the continent!!"
Hearing these words, Tang Wulin finally showed a relieved smile, "You're all right, I was being a bit rash!"
These were his companions who had accompanied him for half a lifetime; there was no need to speak of their determination to eradicate the Evil Soul Masters!
He then responded to Cai Yue'er with an incredibly determined tone, "Elder Cai, please have confidence in us; Gods are not invincible!"
"And, who knows, maybe someone among us might make a Divine Breakthrough as well?"
Cai Yue'er exclaimed, "Wulin, are you suggesting that you plan to...?"
The implication of his words was clear!
He planned to make a Divine Breakthrough!!
Without denying it, Tang Wulin nodded, "That's right, after the hellish training for the inner court students ends, I'll attempt to break through to the God Rank. That way, we'll stand a better chance against the Ghost Emperor."
Although he didn't know how difficult it would be to break through to the God Rank, he would give it his all to try!
Cai Yue'er looked at him deeply for a few seconds before she responded...
"Wulin, it seems your mind is made up, and I won't stop you."
"However, to break through to the God Rank, it takes more than just talent; timing is also extremely important. Don't force yourself!"
Seeing this, the others exchanged looks...
"Wulin, since you're planning to break through to the God Rank, let us handle the training of the inner court students for now!!"
After all, among them, Tang Wulin was the one most likely to make a Divine Breakthrough!
Naturally, they didn't want him to be distracted by the training!
"Alright, I'll leave it to you all after this!"
After saying this, Tang Wulin stood up, signaled to everyone, and then turned and left...
Even though it was a breakthrough to the God Rank, some preparations were needed...
...
At the Spirit Pagoda!
Di Tian clasped his hands together and reported earnestly, "My lord, I just received news that the inner court students from Shrek Academy seem to be undergoing hellish training from the Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion!"
Upon hearing the news, Gu Yuena's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Di Tian, is that all you've found out about the Shrek Academy?"
She had absolutely no interest in these inner court students!
Because she was no longer a student at Shrek Academy!
Di Tian's cheeks showed a hint of hesitation but he still answered, "No... Apart from that, there is indeed something else."
"It's just that..."
Gu Yuena's silver eyes narrowed as she pressed, "Just what?"
Di Tian took a deep breath, "It's just that it's related to that Tang Wulin!"
Gu Yuena's tone became slightly more eager, "Wulin?? Did something happen to him?"
Di Tian coughed gently, reassuringly saying, "My lord, rest assured, Tang Wulin has not met with any mishap. It just seems that he wants to break through to the God Rank these days!"
Gu Yuena's pupils suddenly narrowed, "Break through to the God Rank??"
Isn't a godhood necessary to break through to the God Rank?
No sooner had the thought emerged than she immediately shook her head to dismiss it...
No, Wulin's father is Sea God Tang San. He probably has long prepared a godhood for him!
In that case, the matter of breaking through to the God Rank could also make sense!
Seeing her reaction, Di Tian cautiously inquired, "My lord, how likely do you think it is for Tang Wulin to break through to the God Rank?"
In order not to anger her as he had done last time, he chose to ask in the gentlest way possible.
Gu Yuena crossed her arms and fell into deep thought...
After a long while, she finally answered, "Less than fifty percent!"
"Even if Wulin possesses a godhood, breaking through to the God Rank is far more difficult than one might imagine!"
Not to mention that the Lower Realm and the Divine Realm are now forcibly separated!
Di Tian propped up his chin, surprised, "Even if Tang Wulin has a godhood, there's only a fifty percent chance?"
"I fear that only by resorting to despicable tactics like the Ghost Emperor could one successfully break through to the God Rank. Otherwise, it's as hard as reaching the heavens!"
After a pause, he asked with full curiosity, "If it were you, my lord, what would the chances be of breaking through?"
Gu Yuena was stunned, obviously not expecting such a question!
However, she quickly gave a firm answer...
"A hundred percent!"
Di Tian sighed subconsciously, "As expected, even you, my lord..."
"Wait, my lord, am I hearing this correctly?? You actually are completely sure of breaking through to the God Rank??"
It's extremely difficult for soul beasts, even more so than Soul Masters, to break through, and without a godhood, breaking through to the God Rank seems impossible!
Yet these were the words from the lord herself!
Gu Yuena raised an eyebrow, "What?? Do you find it impossible?"
Di Tian hastily refuted, "No... that's not it. It's just that the gods of the Divine Realm have always been somewhat hostile towards our Soul Beast Clan, so why would you be completely certain of a breakthrough?"
Gu Yuena scoffed slightly and did not respond but shifted the topic, "That is not something you need to know. Just be clear about one thing!"
"The reason I am suppressing my power and staying in the Lower Realm is solely for the revival of the Soul Beast Clan!"
For her, breaking through to godhood was not difficult; what was difficult was the Divine Realm's potential interference after the breakthrough!!
"Even the Ghost Emperor, who has broken through to godhood, can stay in the Lower Realm; surely you can do the same, so why suppress yourself?"
Although Di Tian had doubts, he was tactful enough not to continue probing...
Gu Yuena glanced at him, then said again, "Enough about that. The Azure Oxpython and the Titan Ape have already sent most of the soul beasts in the Ten Thousand Beast Platform to the soul beast forest."
"Next, it's time to commence the next phase of the plan."
Di Tian's eyes widened, "My lord, isn't it too early? The federation has been watching all along, and they seem to have discovered our contacts with the forces of Soul Land!"
Yet Gu Yuena appeared exceedingly calm...
"No harm done. The federation has already promised not to use the God-Slaying soul-guided missiles, which means they no longer have the power to stop the plan from proceeding."
"So, do as I say!!"
