This so-called divine power isolator was a device that Anping had modified based on the prop that had trapped Tang San's divine consciousness in the Ice and Fire Eyes. After Anping's improvements, it was naturally stronger than before and there was no reason for it to be weaker.
Even Tang San's consciousness had been trapped by it. These so-called Seven Old Monsters were only in their current state because they had been affected by the divine power of destruction and the divine power of life. How could they break free when they were not even true gods?
Therefore, their efforts against Anping and Gu Yuena were futile. Their attacks were absorbed by the device and turned into energy that trapped them. Anping and Gu Yuena ignored them.
Besides, with Di Tian, Le Zheng'en, Yun Ming, and Demon Emperor there, even if they could break the barrier, they wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.
As for how to deal with these people, that was up to Yun Ming, who had a connection to Shrek Academy. Whether to kill or release them was not a critical matter. After all, they were here for the core of Devil's Island.
Without the core's support, they might not even survive. And even if they did, they would lose the pseudo-immortality they had before.
Even if they survived, the energy that sustained them would become rootless and dwindle until it ran out, which would be the end of their lives.
They had been able to maintain their state of immortality because they had been eroded by the divine power of destruction and the divine power of life. The reason they had lasted so long was that there was enough of the two divine powers left here.
Of course, there was no solution. They wanted to live like normal people, but that would require Tang Hao and A Yin to pay a price to fully resurrect them.
After all, the divine power of destruction and the divine power of life belonged to the God King. Although Tang Hao and Ah Yin were highly compatible with these two divine powers, they were only second-level gods. They couldn't resurrect these people without paying a price.
At other times, Tang Hao and Ah Yin might not have been stingy with these things. After all, these were the former Shrek Seven Monsters, and they had extraordinary talents. If they could be resurrected, they would be a great asset.
But that was no longer the case. Outside, there was an abyss looming over them, and inside, there was a city of miracles thriving. Moreover, Tang Hao and Ah Yin were not in perfect condition due to various reasons, and it was already hard enough to deal with the inner world. They couldn't afford to waste energy on them.
Besides, trying to resurrect these people would surely cause some disturbance. In order to scheme against the abyss, Tang Hao and A Yin had not dared to reveal themselves for ten thousand years. How could they expose themselves now?
The skinny old men's eyes were filled with despair after their attacks had no effect. In desperation, they said anything they could, cursing and swearing, and insulting Yun Ming's ancestors.
What they didn't know was that this was the reason they lost their last chance of life. Yun Ming had been the former master of the Poseidon Pavilion, after all. Although he was now completely disillusioned with Shrek Academy, he still had a trace of affection for them.
Before coming to Devil's Island, he had thought that he would try his best to persuade these people, whether it was to fulfill the last bit of love or to contribute to the discovery of the City of Miracles.
He had temporarily forgotten the era these people had lived in. Back then, Shrek Academy was the undisputed number one on the continent, and even the Spirit Pagoda was only an affiliated force of Shrek Academy. Naturally, they were more arrogant and proud than the people of Shrek Academy in this era.
He sighed slightly and gave up on convincing these old stubborns. How to deal with them depended on whether Anping and Gu Yuena could get the energy core of Devil Island.
The Demon Empress gloated when she saw Yun Ming, the former master of the Poseidon Pavilion, sigh in disappointment. After all, Shrek Academy had targeted the Holy Spirit Cult against her in the past, and she didn't agree with Yun Ming's ideas in the first place.
Anping felt the sense of destruction in the air and couldn't help but sigh: "The God of Destruction born in this world was indeed powerful. The power he left behind after his death could cause such an effect. It was a pity that he ended up like this."
He didn't say this to mock the God of Destruction for being plotted to death by Tang San, but to sincerely admire the God of Destruction's research on the concept of destruction.
The God of Destruction was Gu Yuena's enemy, after all. Anping praised the enemy so much. Although Gu Yuena wasn't angry, she said angrily: "He was a natural god born with the intent of destruction. If he couldn't reach this level, wouldn't it be a problem?"
Anping realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he gently held Gu Yuena's hand and said: "No matter how powerful you are, you will still die, be it the God of Destruction or the God of Life, or even the God of Poseidon Tang San. One day, you will be far more powerful than these so-called gods."
Gu Yuena believed what Anping said. The more she understood the wizard's training system, the more she realized that she had been ignorant before.
She also felt lucky that she had chosen to be with Anping, regardless of shame. Otherwise, she wasn't sure what she would look like now, or what would happen to the spirit beasts.
She knew Anping's personality well. He treated others as they treated him.
If it weren't for their relationship, he wouldn't care about the life and death of the soul beast clan, since he had the living gold and most of his energy. But he wouldn't be as concerned as he was now.
She whispered: "I'm so glad I met you."
Anping was a little uncomfortable when he saw Gu Yuena's sudden tenderness. He joked: "Oh, is this still our soul beast co-master, Her Highness the Silver Dragon King? How can she be so girlish?"
Gu Yuena felt annoyed when she heard Anping teasing her. She took her hand from his and pinched his waist. It was harmless, just some fun.
Anping quickly begged for mercy, as if he would never do it again, which made Gu Yuena even more angry.
They didn't forget their purpose, even though they were just playing around. The area of Devil Island wasn't that big. In a few moments, they reached the junction of the divine power of destruction and the divine power of life.
The feeling was different at the junction. One side was full of destruction, and the flowers, plants, and trees looked lifeless. The other side was full of life, and everything, even the dead things, felt alive.
