Time Before Departure

It didn't take long for Tang Wulin to make his way back to Alvarez Empire, with his body already reaching Third Class God level.

As he arrived back, he made an announcement to all of the Spriggans to meet him in the meeting room.

It didn't take them long at all as they were all waiting for Tang Wulin while carrying out other activities.

Such as watching over their squad training, sparring with their squad, or developing new skills.

"Boss! Took you a while to return, it has been a week since you went missing," Said Xie Xie with a chuckle as he sat down.

"You didn't even tell us what you were doing, If I didn't know any better I thought you were heading to the Abyssal Passage." Said Yue Zhengyu as he sat down next to Xie Xie.

"Well knowing him, I wouldn't be surprised." Said Mu Xi with a light giggle causing most of the people in the room to nod their head.

With Tang Wulin rolling his eyes and ignoring the guys inside of him also agreeing with her.

"Well, what I want to talk about is the Abyssal Plane."

"Hm, so you are going now?" Questioned Na'er with a slight frown.

As she wasn't allowed to go with him because her master required her to watch over Shrek and the Sea God Pavilion.

As the people of Shrek still needed the Sea God Pavilion Master to watch over them as well, this was her final test.

Not only that but he wanted her and the others to look for the remaining Monarchs who still haven't been found.

'Stupid bugs, making things so difficult.' Thought Na'er in annoyance and a faint pout.

"Yes, I will lay down some things in the Empire and tell you guys about it. Just in case anything happens while I am away."Said Tang Wulin causing Queen Marina to nod her head.

"That is a smart move, even in the times of peace, conflict can still arise and strike when least expected."

"But... Is there anyone crazy enough to attack us?"Questioned Xu Lizhi in disbelief but General Aron only snorted.

"Don't be so naive, even the mightiest kingdom has been brought down by the weak. Just because we have this type of reputation doesn't mean we won't be plotted against or attacked."

"Exactly, the moment those who are an enemy find a weakness in our empire is the moment they will strike." Said Queen Marina with Di Tian nodding his head.

"Even the Dragon Clan with all their might prowess were all brought down by a weaker force. No one in this world... No, this universe can claim they are invincible through the ages." Said Di Tian, causing everyone to silently nod their head.

As none of them thought they were invincible or unrivaled even, Wulin couldn't say the same about him.

As he recalls how a single finger from Typhoon could absolutely kill him, with him being able to do nothing.

"So who exactly is going with you to invade the abyssal plane?" Questioned Bi Ji.

"Me, Yun Ming, and a few others." Said Tang Wulin.

"So basically, the strongest people?"

"Yes."

They all nodded their heads, agreeing with such a team as the Abyssal Plane will be an unknown and unexplored place.

Bringing anyone who was below the Demi-God Limit Douluo level unless they were Tang Wulin was foolish.

Yet this was something that annoyed and made the Tang Wulin friend feel regret as they weren't at that level.

Yet they dearly wish they were as they wanted to help him.

But even if they were, they likely wouldn't be allowed to join with him anyway.

As Tang Wulin needed them here, to watch over the empire while he was gone.

Especially since the Monarchs are still alive and on the run. With Gremory being alive and her power of being able to take over the mind of an Empire.

This made it so that the Douluo, Star Luo, and Dou Spirit Empire were working together to stop this from happening again.

The ramification of what would happen if such a thing was to happen again was too terrifying.

"While I am gone, which will be in a week, I want you guys to continue developing the empire. Mu Ye will be in charge while I am gone, as Gu Yuena will be going back to the Spirit Pagoda."Said Tang Wulin with Mu Ye nodding his head.

"You're already going back?" Questioned Xu Xiaoyan.

"Yes, Na'er and I have to be back by the time they leave as we will be the leaders of the organization."

"What about the War God Hall?" Questioned Xie Xie but it was Tang Wulin who spoke up.

"Guan Yue will be taking over as Chen Xinjie and we will explore the Abyssal Plane. But from what I heard, they are seeking a replacement." Said Tang Wulin but he didn't elaborate.

And no one demands anything more about it as their mind was still focused on the Alvarez Empire.

"So Mu Ye will be in charge, and we will follow his orders?"

"Yes, but it shouldn't be too bad. You all will be busy with your squad anyway."

"Don't remind me..."Muttered Xie Xie.

While his squad wasn't bad, he wanted to train them a bit more and develop them to his taste.

It wasn't just him but all of the others around him who had a squad.

"How is the Sea Beast from the northern land?" Questioned Tang Wulin towards Queen Marina.

"They are doing fine, with more coming over, my lord."

Tang Wulin nodded his head before he arched a brow when he saw Er Ming furrowing his brows.

"Did you gain a breakthrough while you were away?" Questioned Er Ming as he felt Tang Wulin was different from before.

It wasn't just his cultivation but his existence in general, it felt as if he was looking at Da Ming.

When he controls their small plane, with him being the absolute ruler over it but Tang Wulin still feels more off than that.

As if he and Da Ming were on the opposite scale.

"Yes, I made a breakthrough on my cultivation which is now a Demi-God Limit Douluo, and my body which is Third Class God level." Said Tang Wulin in a nonchalant tone.

Yet the expression of everyone in the room was anything but that.

Demi-God Limit Douluo! Third Class God Body!

They were all shocked into silence that Tang Wulin was able to achieve this and it hasn't even been a year.

Since his last increase in his cultivation, yet he was able to jump from rank 97 to rank 99 in a few months.

If anyone was to hear about this speed, they will all be shocked with some of them wishing to bury themselves.

To save them from this embarrassment while the others would question when it became so easy to be a Limit Douluo.

As it wasn't just Tang Wulin who was a Limit Douluo at his age but Na'er and Gu Yuena.

Absolute Monsters is what the world would say to them.

But if that wasn't enough, Tang Wulin was able to bring his body to a Third-Class God level.

"Can anyone even hurt you anymore?" Xie Xie blurted this out while looking at his best friend in disbelief.

Tang Wulin only shrugged his shoulders as he too wondered if someone could actually hurt him now.

His body was already beyond this mortal plane, just a single stomp or punch could shatter this weakened plane.

Let alone a planet.

"Has the plane suppression been coming down on you?" Questioned Di Tian as he was one of the best who understands the terrifying prowess of the plane.

"No."

"Hmm, could it be because you're the son of Tang San?"

"Maybe..."Muttered Tang Wulin although he had his thoughts for this.

He and Yggdrasil believe this may have been one of the effects of making his body into a God Realm.

It might be possible that the Planar Lord suppression doesn't have any effect on him even at the early stage.

Or that the plane is too weak for its brutal suppression to affect his state at the moment.

'It's fascinating either way.'

"With how you are right now, I guess it isn't wrong to call you unrivaled." Muttered Er Ming as he looks at Tang Wulin with a complicated look.

He has inevitably seen many geniuses and terrifying monsters, heck he's been in contact with both Tang San and Huo Yuhao.

Yet even these two seem to be a bit lackluster compared to Tang Wulin.

'Is this what they mean by the new generation will surpass the old? I wonder... If he ever gets himself a kid or well... Multiples of them, would they be even more monstrous than their father?' Thought Er Ming with a nervous shiver as he secretly glances at all of the girls Tang Wulin is precisely dating.

Er Ming could imagine it now, six of that brat kid running around a plane, let alone this planet.

'The planet wouldn't be able to survive them.'

Tang Wutong herself was able to cause hell in the God Realm and there was only one of her.

At least to him, she was far more manageable than Tang Wulin who literally in the nineteen years that he has been here.

He has apparently been sent back in time, invaded a whole realm, clashed with Di Tian. Fought with four gods, flattened a whole empire, and then fought five more gods.

There was only one of him and yet he could undoubtedly cause this much trouble, Er Ming promised himself to not be on this plane.

When those next six monsters come down!

"Big brother, what are you guys planning to do in there? Isn't the Sage King still a danger?" Questioned Na'er causing everyone to nod their head.

As they were also curious about what Tang Wulin and the others plan to do, especially with the Sage King being there.

While they didn't know much about him, Tang Wulin did note that his personal strength was at the God Level and far more than it seems.

"We're going to devour the first few planes and see how the Sage King reacts. If he comes down then, I will see how strong he is... If he is stronger than we can easily escape but if he isn't..."

"You can slay him, bringing an end to the Abyssal Passage." Said Ye Xinglan with a fierce gleam in her eye.

It wouldn't be wrong to say she wished she could join, not only because she wanted to watch to help the plane.

But also because she wanted to test herself against those Abyssal Soldiers, more specifically those Abyssal Kings.

She only knew it was the Abyssal Kings who led to so many sacrifices back in the last Abyssal War.

Yet even with all of this, she couldn't stop the fighting spirit inside of her that wanted to have a go at them.

"Well, that's if things go as planned." Said Tang Wulin as he began thinking.

His fundamental instincts and life goddess bloodline have been acting up ever since he came back from that Island.

As if sensing a hidden danger, making him wonder if it was because of Typhon or another hidden danger.
