Chapter 94 Under the golden ancient tree, Nirvana is Complete
The golden ancient tree in front of the Sea God Pavilion, this divine wood that has protected Shrek for ten thousand years, emitted a low and grand resonance at this moment.
The leaves, originally green as jade, lit up layer upon layer.
Brilliant golden light cascaded down like a waterfall, enveloping the entire stone pavilion in a near-divine radiance.
"Boom—!"
Mu En sat quietly in the rattan chair; his body appeared increasingly hunched, but his eyes were brighter than ever before.
He slowly raised his right hand.
In his palm, a ball of blue-gold light condensed to the extreme slowly rose; that was what he, as the Dragon God Douluo,
had condensed from his life's cultivation, will, and ultimate comprehension of light.
A wisp of the purest Origin power!
"Child, empty your Sea of Consciousness."
Mu En's voice echoed within the golden light, carrying an open-mindedness that had seen through life and death.
Lin Sheng felt that power, heavy as a mountain,
yet as gentle as water, drawing closer to him bit by bit; his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan involuntarily swirled with blood-red light.
He looked at the elderly man before him, whose Lifespan was nearing its end, with a complex expression and couldn't help but ask,
"Do you really trust me that much? Mu En."
"You should be very clear that I am full of hatred for Shrek. Between me and Elder Xuan, there is an irreconcilable blood feud."
His tone was filled with complexity.
"Aren't you afraid that this power will eventually become the sharp blade that destroys this place?"
Mu En smiled slightly.
That smile contained a wealth of tolerance and wisdom: "You don't need to feel pressured."
"I know in my heart what Shrek owes you. I don't ask you to forgive Elder Xuan; that is a personal grievance. But what I cannot let go of are the common people of this continent."
Mu En's tone was exceptionally serious.
It seemed that at this moment, what he valued was no longer the hatred between Lin Sheng and Elder Xuan.
But...
He was worried about the future of the entire continent.
After he died, Shrek would no longer have the power to directly contend with the Holy Spirit Cult, and he believed the Body Sect was the same.
And they originally belonged to the people of the original Douluo Continent.
Under such a stance...
How could they not stand together?!
"Lin Sheng, your talent is the only variable in this era. Only you can truly shatter the conspiracy of the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult that is enough to swallow the sunlight."
"This is the only thing I can do for you, and for the world."
He paused, his tone becoming somewhat profound.
"Additionally, I have already discussed this matter with your teacher, Du Busi."
"Although that teacher of yours is protective of his own, he is also a sensible man. He agreed to let me do this."
"What?!"
Lin Sheng's pupils shrank sharply, and a stormy wave surged in his heart.
He never thought that the domineering and protective Du Busi would actually reach such a resonance with his old rival, Mu En.
"So the two of them..."
"Had already discussed it in secret. No wonder Teacher agreed so readily back then when I asked to escort Le Xuan back to Shrek..."
Lin Sheng suddenly realized at this moment.
So everything had a trail to follow.
...
"Whew..."
Lin Sheng took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart, and closed his eyes.
He knew.
Any more nonsense would be a desecration of this old man's final wish.
"In that case, let's begin."
The moment the blue-gold light touched Lin Sheng's forehead, an unimaginably vast and gentle energy erupted.
Lin Sheng felt his entire body instantly enveloped by a warm ocean. Mu En's ultimate light attribute neutralized the originally cold and violent aura in his Sharingan.
Sublimating it into a Law closer to order.
"Boom—!"
Within his Sea of Consciousness, Electrolux let out a sigh of admiration, his hands rapidly forming seals.
Guiding this power toward Lin Sheng's Eternal Mangekyou.
"Gold of Life, rise!"
Along with Lin Sheng's silent prayer, the amaterasu living blade hidden within his body also sensed this holy summons.
The majestic vitality intertwined with the power of the Golden Tree, turning into streaks of green and golden meridians.
Weaving frantically deep within Lin Sheng's eyes.
The most shocking change occurred.
Stimulated by that powerful will...
The third Mangekyo pattern on his forehead, which had originally disappeared due to sacrifice, actually began to be rubbed by the leaves of the Golden Tree.
Turning from illusory to real, it opened once again!
It was a blood-red demonic eye shimmering with a faint golden glow.
Different from the eternal patterns of the left and right eyes...
This third eye, after absorbing the Dragon God's afterglow, its pattern became as fine and rigorous as dragon scales, exuding a majesty that controlled the universe.
The three pupils resonated.
The Soul Power within Lin Sheng's body was like a bursting flood, frantically washing against that seemingly indestructible barrier!!
A moment later.
Feeling that the Soul Power condensed within his body had reached the edge of a Breakthrough, Lin Sheng no longer suppressed this power.
"Boom—!"
A dull explosion sounded within Lin Sheng's body.
Level fifty-seven, level fifty-eight, level fifty-nine...
That Bottleneck was as fragile as thin paper before the Dragon God's Origin. Finally, his Soul Power fluctuations stabilized completely at a very high frequency...
Level sixty!
But it wasn't over yet.
Mu En's withered hands suddenly clasped together. The golden ancient tree seemed to sense its host's end, and all its leaves turned into a golden ocean in an instant.
That force of Law, condensed from ten thousand years of faith and the divine wood's will, frantically circled and compressed around Lin Sheng.
Under Zhang Lexuan's astonished gaze.
A brilliant, dazzling golden Soul Ring, carrying a noble aura that stood above Soul Beasts,
quietly rose beneath Lin Sheng's feet.
"This... this is... a golden Soul Ring? No, it also carries a green-gold color symbolizing life energy?!"
Zhang Lexuan exclaimed.
That was no ordinary Soul Ring; it was what Mu En and the golden ancient tree had jointly bestowed upon him...
A most special Origin spirit ring!!!
...
Under the shade of the trees in the distance, Yan Shaozhe, Cai Meier, and other Shrek Elders all showed expressions of sorrow.
They watched Mu En's increasingly dimming figure.
Watching the old man entrust Shrek's most core Legacy to an outsider, their hearts were filled with mixed emotions.
Yet there was only heavy respect.
"Elder Mu..."
"This is Elder Mu's final decision. We cannot interfere. That child... I hope he won't fail Elder Mu."
And in an even darker corner.
Elder Xuan gripped the chicken leg in his hand tightly, turbid tears sliding down his stubble-covered face.
He opened his mouth...
Wanting to step forward and call out to that brother who was both a teacher and a friend before his death, but in the end, he lacked the courage to step out of the shadows because of his guilt toward Lin Sheng.
"..."
Under the Golden Tree, Mu En's body seemed to become even more hunched. Having completed this step,
he truly was near the end of his life.
His Origin had been exhausted.
He didn't know when he would completely die and dissipate into light!
At this moment, his gaze toward Lin Sheng was full of gratification.
"Child, the path... is beneath your own feet."
