Anping's choice proved to be correct. As soon as the tide of space elements formed, the major forces detected it with their monitoring methods and reported it to their senior officials.
The first thought that crossed the minds of the leaders from all sides was that this god might have something to do with space. They ordered their personnel who were related to martial spirit to space to investigate this area and keep an eye on the soul masters who came to Skysea City with space attributes.
After the opening ceremony of the Shrek Academy mission reception, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie rushed there to pick their missions. Lately, Tang Wulin's appetite had increased more than ever. If he didn't do more tasks, he would have trouble affording food.
He browsed through the tasks and sighed. Xie Xie turned to him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Tang Wulin said, "Nothing. I just found a mission with a high contribution point, but the requirements are weird. It asks for clues to a building. Is there anything that Shrek Academy can't find?"
"Let me see the mission." Xie Xie walked over to Tang Wulin and looked at the screen. When he saw the picture of the mission, he muttered, "I think I've seen this building somewhere."
Tang Wulin's eyes lit up. "Really? Where did you see it? This is the highest contribution point among all the tasks."
He only had to provide clues and he would get more contribution points than he did in one forging task. He had never seen such a task before.
"Where did I see it?" Xie Xie racked his brain. He was also in dire need of contribution points.
Half a minute later, he slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Eastsea City! I saw it in Eastsea City!"
"Eastsea City? Are you sure?" Tang Wulin frowned. He had never seen such a clock-like building in EastSea City.
Xie Xie explained, "When we were in the first year of Eastsea Academy, there was a typhoon. That's when this building's shadow appeared in the sky above Eastsea City. It lasted for several days. How could you miss it?"
"First year? Typhoon?" Tang Wulin recalled and said, "I think I was practicing at that time and didn't care about the outside world. Could that be the legendary mirage?"
Xie Xie was puzzled. "Why did the academy issue this task?" He asked. "This happened years ago. Why are they asking about it now?"
Tang Wulin urged him, "It doesn't matter why. Just go to the contribution point and pick it up quickly."
As long as they provided information, they would get contribution points. Xie Xie didn't hesitate any longer and went to the task management teacher to register.
The teacher knew something about the person who issued the task and the reason behind it. He was surprised that someone actually accepted it, and that they were first-year students. He confirmed it several times, then recorded it and asked them to wait aside.
Soon, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie were teleported to Poseidon Island. They had been there before, so they were only startled for a moment, then looked around.
As they did, a tall figure appeared in front of them. They recognized him and quickly saluted. "We greet Atlas Douluo, Your Majesty."
The person who brought them to Poseidon Island was Yun Ming, the task manager. He had instructed the teacher to notify him as soon as someone took the task.
Yun Ming smiled and said, "Since you have accepted the mission I issued, tell me what you know about that building."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xie Xie felt nervous in front of the strongest man on the continent. "A few years ago, when we were in the first year at Eastsea Academy, there was a typhoon shortly after the academy started. During the storm, the shadow of that building appeared over Eastsea City, and it lasted for almost a week. There are still legends about it."
Yun Ming asked, "Is the shadow of the building that you saw in the sky over Eastsea City the same as the one in the picture?"
The phantom had spread over a large area at that time, and Yun Ming had heard of it, but he didn't know what the building looked like.
"Yes." Xie Xie nodded.
Yun Ming thought for a while, then asked again, "Can you pinpoint where the phantom was located above Eastsea City? Or did you notice anything else strange?"
"I don't know the exact location." Xie Xie paused, then corrected himself. "Actually, no one could tell where the shadow was. It was said that wherever you were in Eastsea City, you saw the same scene. As for anything else strange, I might have missed it because my soul power level was low back then."
Xie Xie had dismissed it as a mirage back then and paid no attention to it. Besides, his soul power level at that time was too low to investigate even if he wanted to. The only ones in the whole Eastsea City who sensed the will of the universe were Gu Yuena and Tang San's consciousness.
"Okay, I understand." Yun Ming nodded to Xie Xie and turned to Tang Wulin. "What about you, Tang Wulin? Do you have anything to add to his statement?"
Tang Wulin felt embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I was immersed in my cultivation during those days and didn't notice anything outside, so I have nothing to add."
"Never mind then, I'll arrange for the points to be transferred to you." Yun Ming waved his hand and dropped the subject. He changed the topic and said, "You two were from the same academy before you joined Shrek, right? I remember there was a girl with you. How come I don't see her around? Did you have a falling out?"
"You mean Xu Xiaoyan, right? She quit academy this semester." Tang Wulin's voice became low when he mentioned Xu Xiaoyan.
Yun Ming was surprised when he heard that Xu Xiaoyan had quit school. He asked, "Quit academy? Do you know why?"
Tang Wulin didn't dare to conceal anything from Yun Ming, so he told him everything that had happened before and his speculations. Xu Xiaoyan's departure was partly related to them, after all. Tang Wulin was a bit nervous, afraid that Yun Ming would be angry.
But Yun Ming didn't show any anger or criticism after listening to Tang Wulin. He just sighed and said, "I didn't expect those two little fellows to have such charisma. They actually managed to recruit someone from Shrek Academy."
Even though he didn't obtain any useful information, finding out that the bell tower had appeared in Eastsea City was still a gain.
