Chapter 398 Post-War
With the retreat of the Soul Beast Clan, the Battle of Martial Soul City came to an end, with both sides suffering heavy losses and being mutually destructive.
The soul beast race is in a rather tragic state. About half of the 100,000-year-old soul beasts have perished, including even the highest-ranking ones like Xiong Jun. Even the so-called soul beast lord was left in Wuhun City as a hostage, though this is only the surface.
As the true ruler of the Spirit Empire, he then pulled Di Tian into making a series of specific communication rules, including prohibiting the initiation of a beast tide and requiring all 100,000-year-old spirit beasts to hide and not show themselves.
Of course, according to the communication between the two parties, human soul masters are not allowed to slaughter soul beasts indiscriminately in the Star Dou Great Forest, and this clause needs to be written into the law, otherwise Di Tian has the right to kill such reckless people.
Yang Podi, along with Yang Zhentian, Sword Douluo, and Poison Douluo, recuperated in the Angel Temple.
Upon entering this place, everyone was filled with emotion. Although the three of them were well-traveled and knowledgeable, this was the first time they had ever been to such a place where the gods had passed down their legacy.
Especially Sword Douluo, whose father died after challenging Qian Daoliu. Although he challenged him voluntarily and died unjustly, he didn't feel any resentment. However, Sword Douluo had spent his whole life opposing the Spirit Hall, and the hatred between the two sides was ingrained in his bones. He never expected to have the opportunity to come to the Angel Temple.
The other two were in similar situations. They could only come to the Douluo Palace when they were about to die, but now they were able to reach the Angel Temple, which was a pleasant surprise.
Yang Zhentian asked with some confusion, "Po Di, why did you bring us to this Angel Temple? Aren't you already a god? This place shouldn't be of any use to us, right?"
Yang Podi could only smile and say, "Dad, although I have become a god, the Angel Temple is one of the oldest places in the entire Douluo Continent. It is under the Angel Temple that level 99 Limit Douluo can be born continuously. You should know a lot of benefits under the Angel Temple."
Yang Zhentian tapped Yang Podi on the head: "Look at you, so smug. So what if you've become a god? Even if you become a god, you're still my dad. He can still tap you if he wants."
"Besides, you've already become a god. Why don't you set up some kind of statue in our Tianxing Academy so that a few of us old guys can study it and advance as soon as possible? Otherwise, I won't live much longer."
Yang Podi was speechless for a moment: "Dad, you're still so young, and you're already level 98. What kind of divine power do you need me to give you to comprehend?"
Just as Yang Podi said, his father Yang Zhentian is indeed still very young, especially in terms of the improvement of his strength and soul power. In recent years, he has been like a cheat code, almost catching up with the main characters of the original work.
Before Yang Podi could say anything more, Poison Douluo spoke up: "You little monster, how come you've become such a different person after becoming a god? You've become so stingy. Although I'm getting old, I still want to comprehend the higher realm of Soul Masters."
Yang Podi couldn't help but complain in his heart, "You old Poison Douluo, you had such a good relationship with Tang San in the beginning, but in the end you still ended up dying together. I didn't see you ask Tang San for any conditions to improve your strength. Why do you always nag so much when it comes to me?"
However, Yang Podi thought for a moment before speaking: "Dad, this Angelic Holy Land is indeed a rare and wonderful place, especially the Angelic Divine Power, which is the power of faith in the Douluo Continent. You should also try to comprehend it first. Besides, we have helped the Spirit Empire a lot this time, so we should make some demands."
Each of them pondered for a while, seemingly feeling that Yang Podi had something to say, but didn't seem to say it explicitly. Especially Sword Douluo, whose help this time was indeed intentional. He didn't expect that Yang Podi would already know his thoughts without him saying anything.
Yang Zhentian pondered for a while, but still couldn't figure it out: "Po Di, just tell me plainly, what exactly do we want to do?"
Yang Podi couldn't help but shake his head; his father really didn't have any plans.
However, he thought for a moment before speaking: "Dad, if we just want our Tianxing Academy to last for ten thousand years, and our Po clan to last for ten thousand years, hiding in a place like Almo Mountain for a long time is really not enough. After all, it is a remote place with relatively few talents, or even a severe lack of talents. In the long run, it will be easy for the phenomenon of talent loss to occur."
"You've done the Spirit Empire such a big favor this time, why don't you talk to Bibi Dong about how Tianxing Academy wants to find a place on the continent to establish a branch academy? It could also be a branch of our family, which would not only attract talent but also be suitable for the future growth of our family."
Yang Zhentian nodded: "That's a good idea, but why don't you go and tell Bibi Dong and the others yourself? You should carry more weight with your words."
Yang Podi was speechless for a moment, and couldn't help but mutter to himself: The cause of this beast tide was that Bibi Dong killed the Three-Eyed Golden-Faced Man. In fact, it was a trap that he had dug for Bibi Dong. With Bibi Dong's intelligence and shrewdness, she probably figured it out long ago, but she was forced to make enemies due to the lack of strength and the relationship.
Indeed, the reason I specifically mentioned the Three-Eyed Golden-Faced Beast was to set a trap for the Spirit Empire, hoping to cause both the Spirit Empire and the Soul Beast Clan to suffer heavy losses, so that I could reap the benefits later.
But who would have thought that he would accidentally kidnap someone else's daughter, Qian Renxue, thus creating a new relationship between them, and he had no choice but to take action.
Otherwise, given Yang Podi's personality, he might have actually wanted to wait until the Beast Clan destroyed the Martial Soul Empire before stepping in to clean up the mess. Wouldn't that mean he would have the final say in the world? The current situation can only be described as a result of his emotions.
Yang Podi hesitated for a long time before finally speaking: "I'm embarrassed to say this, but this time we've brought them the Silver Dragon King, a huge problem. I don't know what to do next."
Before Yang Podi could finish speaking, Yang Zhentian smacked him again: "You little brat, I know what you're thinking. You've probably done something shameful that you're afraid to talk about. But your suggestion is not bad. Our Tianxing Academy's position is indeed a little lacking, and we don't have to be as timid as before."
Next, Dad Yang Zhentian and Poison Douluo Liangren began to discuss where to establish a new branch of Tianxing Academy, especially the location, which they discussed with great interest.
Sword Douluo hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Mr. Yang, may I say something?"
Sword Douluo and the others joined Tianxing Academy later, so their relationship wasn't that close yet.
Yang Podi simply smiled slightly: "Senior Sword Douluo, please feel free to speak. I can help with any problems you may have. However, judging from Senior Sword Douluo's current situation, you probably want to talk about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, right?"
Sword Douluo was also conflicted, not expecting that Yang Podi had already discovered his little scheme. However, he finally gritted his teeth and spoke: "Mr. Yang, after our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School joined the Heavenly Path Academy,
There are still a few disciples outside. Could we allow them to rebuild the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?
Yang Podi looked at Sword Douluo calmly, and even a simple glance from him made the top expert Sword Douluo feel a chill run down his spine and even feel immense pressure.
In the end, Yang Podi shook his head: "Senior Sword Douluo, I remember telling you and Sect Master Ning before you joined Tianxing Academy that it's difficult to get in, and even more difficult to get out. Once you join Tianxing Academy, you'll have no further connection with the outside world. As for those who didn't join before..."
Then I can't worry about that anymore.
Upon hearing this, Sword Douluo broke out in a cold sweat. The gap between gods and mortals was indeed insurmountable. Yang Zhentian and Dugu Bo remained silent beside him.
Yang Podi didn't care about anything else. He just sat down alone next to the angel statue. This angel god had been dead for so many years, yet he still managed to leave behind a legacy. It seemed that it was quite interesting and he could learn a lot from it.
Sword Douluo looked at Yang Zhentian and Dugu Bo with some hesitation. One was Yang Podi's father, and the other was an elder who had watched Yang Podi grow up. It was much easier for them to talk to each other. A single plea from either of them would be better than countless words from him.
However, Yang Zhentian and Dugu Bo deliberately put on a cold face, pretending to be completely indifferent to watching the show, which made Sword Douluo extremely embarrassed.
Finally, Dugu Bo couldn't help but laugh: "Chen Xin, you old codger, you're always so straightforward. At a time like this, you don't even ask me for a favor. Maybe I could put in a good word for you."
Sword Douluo hesitated for a moment, but finally forced himself to speak, suppressing his helplessness: "Old Poison Master, can you help me out at a time like this? Consider it a favor I owe you."
Originally, Sword Douluo's background and strength were far superior to Poison Douluo's, and he had always looked down on Lone Douluo, who was considered the worst among the titled Douluo. Now, for the sake of the survival of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he rarely asked for help.
Yang Zhentian, standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh: "Sword Douluo, don't be fooled by Poison Douluo and end up owing him a favor for nothing. But I'm this kid's father, so why don't you come and ask me for help instead of owing me a favor directly?"
Sword Douluo was speechless. Although Yang Zhentian was stronger and had a higher status, he was still his junior and he couldn't bring himself to do it. Poison Douluo, on the other hand, had interacted with him many times before and was at least an equal.
But what did Yang Zhentian mean by that? Shouldn't such a serious matter require pleading? Especially considering how frightening Yang Podi looked just now.
Poison Douluo shook his head: "Zhentian, it's rare to see Chenxin so humble. Such an opportunity is not common. How could you have the nerve to expose him? You should let this old man enjoy himself a little more."
Sword Douluo was a little confused: "Dugu Bo, what exactly do you mean by that? Does it mean I don't need to break the academy rules?"
Poison Douluo spoke earnestly: "Chen Xin, didn't that brat Yang Podi already say that after joining Tianxing Academy, you'll have no connection with the outside world? So what does it matter to Tianxing Academy whether those people outside your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School establish their own sects? As long as you and that woman Bibi Dong say a word, who will care about those little conflicts from the past?"
"But you should be careful. This kid also said that the academy and the sect must not have any connection. Even if those kids outside your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School rebuild the sect, they must not have any connection with the school. Otherwise, it will be a violation of the academy rules."
Sword Douluo suddenly realized, but he also said with a firm expression: "Thank you for reminding me, Poison Douluo. If those brats in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can rebuild their sect, that's their ability. Otherwise, it's better to let the sect disappear. We will never let them have any connection with the Heavenly Path Academy."
At this moment, Yang Podi, who was sitting to the side, suddenly spoke up: "Senior Sword Douluo, I established these rules to make Tianxing Academy more pure, focusing solely on teaching and nurturing students. Otherwise, if it gets involved in the struggles of the Soul Master world, wouldn't it be a waste of my long-term plans for the academy, and would also allow the academy to interfere with the normal development of the Soul World?"
It can easily attract unforeseen trouble and disaster.
Yang Podi's thoughts were actually somewhat inspired by the Shaolin Temple he had heard about in the original world. The Shaolin Temple was known as the orthodox school of martial arts in the world, but it had stood firm through the rise and fall of countless dynasties. It was not as detached from worldly affairs as their slogan claimed, nor as free from desires as their Buddhist teachings advocated.
As for whether Tianxing Academy will close down in the future, or whether it will deviate from its own set purpose, that is beyond my control. After all, one generation is responsible for the next, and if it is eliminated in the future, it will have nothing to do with me.
Yang Podi cannot interfere in the affairs of Douluo Continent as freely as Tang San. At least the education he received will not tolerate selfishness overriding the common people. He can only set up a basic protection framework for the future disciples of his family. Of course, he will also set up certain protection measures, but these are not for the family to dominate the world, but for the family to continue.
In Wuhun City, everyone was busy with post-war reconstruction. There was hardly anyone idle. They were either busy with rescue efforts or with post-disaster reconstruction.
Bibi Dong, in particular, was busy with Qian Renxue and Hu Liena, attending to every little detail, big or small, almost to the point of arranging their funerals.
However, there was one person who was extremely dejected at this moment, and that person was Yu Xiaogang.
In this great battle, Yu Xiaogang was originally imprisoned by Bibi Dong, but because the war was too chaotic, almost all the soul masters went to the battlefield, and no one paid attention to him anymore.
He had already walked out of the small villa where he was imprisoned, witnessed the earth-shattering battle in the sky, witnessed Tang San's ascension to godhood, and finally witnessed Tang San's fall. But he had no power to stop any of this, and there was no one left by his side to help him.
At this moment, he was just sitting blankly next to the Clear Sky Hammer, the divine weapon passed down from Tang San, seemingly telling a story, or perhaps regretting something.
At this moment, his heart was dead. All the effort he had put into his life had vanished. He could only stay by the Clear Sky Hammer, acting crazy.
