Mu En kept his word and indeed did not interfere in any affairs of the Haotian Empire.
Even knowing that Tang Wei would ultimately send people to suppress ordinary people trying to escape the Haotian Empire with ruthless methods,
Mu En made no attempt to stop them, letting them do as they pleased, simply watching indifferently.
Mu En knew very well that he would soon witness the decline of the Haotian Empire and how the Sun Moon Empire would trample them underfoot to completely unify the Douluo Continent.
If it were before, Mu En would have been extremely anxious, trying every means to change the status quo and prevent this from happening.
But now, Mu En suddenly felt that perhaps letting the Sun Moon Empire unify the Douluo Continent was the best outcome.
At least the people of the Sun Moon Empire were not like the high-ranking officials of the Haotian Empire and the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Cult.
They still held goodwill towards ordinary people, and while developing their military power, they did not forget to improve the livelihoods of ordinary people within their borders.
If the Haotian Empire were in the position of the Sun Moon Empire now, Tang Wei and his ilk would probably have already tried every means to exploit their own people, making them provide sustenance with their lives.
For Mu En now, these things were no longer important.
Even knowing that the Shrek Academy's lineage would be cut off, Mu En could accept it calmly.
Only one thing remained that still concerned Mu En:
his great-grandson, Bei Bei.
After being healed by the Golden Ancient Tree, Bei Bei's martial soul hadn't recovered, and he had completely lost the possibility of continuing as a soul master, but at least his body had recovered.
Now, Bei Bei had become a real man again, possessing the possibility of continuing the lineage of the Grandmaster.
It was precisely because of this that, facing this desperate situation, Mu En, like Dai Hao before him, had the idea of letting Bei Bei leave this place and live a life of anonymity.
Looking at Bei Bei in front of him, Mu En slowly said,
"Don't hesitate any longer, and don't worry about my safety. As long as you can live well and our lineage can continue, that's enough."
"The Golden Sacred Dragon lineage, inherited from Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang ten thousand years ago, cannot be cut off with you."
Hearing this, Bei Bei's eyes revealed some sadness as he looked up and met the gaze of his great-grandfather.
"Ancestor, are you planning to give up?"
Mu En shook his head, sighed deeply, and said helplessly.
"Things have developed to this point, whether I give up or not is no longer important."
"Right now, I'm being pushed along by this complicated situation, there's no turning back."
If there were even the slightest chance, knowing the ship would sink, Mu En would certainly choose to jump ship and escape.
But as the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy, he was far too conspicuous.
Even if he escaped now, after the war ended, the Sun Moon Empire would definitely try every means to find his whereabouts.
In that case, not only would he not be able to continue living, but it would also affect Bei Bei's life of hiding her identity.
Rather than that, it would be better to use his own life to create one last chance for Bei Bei, a chance for Bei Bei to live.
Bei Bei opened her mouth, her face full of pain, and said,
"But Ancestor, didn't you say before that there was still a chance? Didn't you say that as long as we held on until the connection between the God Realm and Douluo Continent was restored, we would definitely be able to achieve the final victory in this war?"
"Why, why are you giving up now?"
Mu En simply shook his head, offering no explanation.
That so-called opportunity was far too slim.
No one could guarantee when the connection between Douluo Continent and the God Realm would be restored.
His decision to send Bei Bei away now was a contingency plan.
If they ultimately lost, at least Bei Bei could ensure the continuation of the Golden Sacred Dragon lineage.
Even if the connection between the God Realm and Douluo Continent was restored before the war ended, he could easily bring Bei Bei back after victory.
For Mu En, this kind of hedging was second nature.
Mu En stood up, patted Bei Bei's shoulder, and forced a smile.
"Alright, Beibei, your ancestor has lived for hundreds of years and has long since become indifferent to life and death."
"Besides, my life should have ended years ago. It was only thanks to the healing from the Golden Ancient Tree that I was able to extend my life by a few more years; that's already a great gain."
"To avoid any unforeseen complications and to prevent the people of the Sun Moon Empire from noticing anything amiss, I will send you to the place where ordinary people in the Heavenly Soul Empire live."
"Afterwards, you will pretend to be a refugee fleeing like them, leaving this so-called Haotian Empire. Whether you go to Xingluo or Douling is up to you; it's your choice."
Beibei's lips trembled, and two streams of tears welled up in his eyes.
Even though Mu En didn't explicitly say it, Beibei knew very well that this separation was already a farewell.
From now on, he probably would never have the chance to see his ancestor again.
No matter how reluctant Beibei was, since Mu En had made his decision, he certainly wouldn't waste time.
He decisively sent Beibei away, and no one noticed anything amiss.
After calming himself down, Bei Bei disguised himself as an ordinary citizen of the Heavenly Soul Empire and traveled with others towards the Douling Empire.
Unfortunately, no matter how well Bei Bei disguised himself, he couldn't hide the aura that set him apart from ordinary people.
Especially the melancholy he had cultivated over the years made him look more like a fallen nobleman.
If all went well, he would have reached the Douling Empire smoothly.
However, the border of the Haotian Empire was guarded by officials from the Imperial Restriction Empire, tasked with identifying any special individuals among the refugees.
Upon noticing Bei Bei's unusual appearance, the Soul Master in charge of the area quickly took him away.
Faced with this situation, Bei Bei was utterly desperate.
He had just decided to live an ordinary life under an assumed name, and now he was arrested—what was going on?
Fortunately, the Soul Master noticed Bei Bei's panic and comforted him, telling him not to be afraid, and that the Sun Moon Empire would treat a fallen nobleman like him kindly.
Then, to Bei Bei's surprise, he discovered that he wasn't the only one taken away. More than a dozen impoverished nobles from the Heavenly Soul Empire, the Fighting Spirit Empire, and even the Star Luo Empire were gathered together.
Bei Bei couldn't sense any tension on their faces. After calming himself down, he asked them what was going on.
However, the answer he received completely surprised him.
According to the Soul Masters, the Sun Moon Empire would not only not kill them, but would even help them continue their family's lineage.
