The next morning.
{Shrek City has suffered a disaster of unprecedented proportions, and the federation is being held responsible for the mishandlings of tye Godslayer missiles. The federal parliament has disbanded, and a new general election is imminent in the few days.}
{The current death count in Shrek City has already exceeded our expections... Less than a third of the city remains, and the damage is immeasurable. Both Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect headquarters have been completely destroyed, and according to witnesses at the scene, as well as satellite images provided by the Spirit Pagoda, in the final moments of the attack, the current Sea God's Pavilion Master, Atlas Douluo Yun Ming did everything in his power to reduce the damage being done by the two Godslayer missiles and perished alongside them. Some reports say that the nearby Spirit Pagoda headquarters has most likely been impacted by the explosions.}
{The Wargod temple has already assembled an investigation team to find out the reason behind the disappearance of the two Godslayer missiles, and the army commander-in-chief has stated that they're going to find the perpetrators at all costs. Such a heinous and horrendous crime has never been witnessed on this continent before, and the military expresses its deepest condolences to those affected by this tragic event.}
{Shrek Academy alumni all over the continent are holding mourning events to grieve over the destruction of Shrek Academy and the passing of all of the victims of the attack.}
{The Tang Sect has declared war on the Holy Spirit Cult, but according to insider information, the sect has suffered severely in the aftermath of the attack. The sect's headquarters have been destroyed, and at least four of their Hall Masters have reportedly perished. The whereabouts of the master of the Tang Sect's Douluo Hall remains unknown as of yet, and our reporters are following up on the latest information.}
{The Holy Spirit Cult has declared that they were responsible for this recent attack, but no traces of the perpetrators have been found as of yet. We implore all members of the general public to immediately report any suspicious individuals to the relevant authorities.}
{There are rumors circulating that the third Godslayer missile has also disappeared along with the other two. If these rumors prove to be true, then which city will be attacked next by this Godslayer missile? What has the federal government been doing all this time? How can they allow this to happen?}
A week later.
{Around five million of the people that were reported to die in the Shrek City had been proven to be alive and well and there's more to come as the verifications been happening by the Spirit Pagoda as of now}
{Seagod Pavillion Master has actually saved them, says our informer}
{It is .....}
A month later.
{It has been a month since the attack on the Shrek City and most of the general populace have been proven to be alive and safe, saved by the innumerable selfless beings that wete in the Shrek and Seagod Pavillion Master altruistic sacrifice that allowed them to escape.}
{The only casualties now are the Shrek Academy personal and Tang Sect members as no news of them have surfaced.}
{..... Balh blan}
{We are the only ones who are showing this image that was captured by the people in Shrek. See that Green liquidy crystal wave, that is a fearsome attack from the Evil Soul Masters....}
[Five months later]
Fan Lin woke up from his sleep and checked the date and time and teleported to his house in the Glorybound town.
He looked at the lock and entered the house after breaking it since he had lost the key in the attack a few years ago.
He checked the water and took a long bath. His body was clean. His body was still cracked and broken. As in literally cracked like he was made or glass.
"At least crumbling has stopped. The purple light has also vanished but the pinkish miasma hasn't. What is this abilities?"
He felt the pinkish miasma acting up whenever he used soul power or soul abilities.
*Sigh*
"I don't even know what attacked me or how or when. This much difference is not fair."
"If I have known this beforehand, I would have suppressed my excess energy from the Fantasia Tulip spirit soul and got another hundred thousand year old spirit soul. That would have advanced me at least above rank 85, maybe 87, 88."
"Then just two more levels and I would have unlocked my immunities and the complete Petrosapien Physique. And two more skills at that."
"But for that to happen, I had to know that absorbing the Fantasia Tulip will grant me so much excess energy. I didn't know that. I thought it would be 3 or four levels. At the most four. Who knew it would be 11."
"I can't channel any soul power as of now. This pinkish miasma is eating any soul power and becoming dangerous."
"I should rest and at least let my body regenerate to its previous condition. I have already thwarted Qiangu Dongfeng's plan and the people have be saved. Now they can die however they were too."
Fan Lin commented and got out of the shower. He checked his storage guide and put on some clothes and began ti cook something for him to eat.
One year later.
I went to fetch my soul communicator from the place I had thrown it, it wasn't there. So I went to get a new soul communicator and linked it with the old number and got some messages from Yun Ming.
"I have to find my storage guides next. My soul communicators and other stuff are in there. So are my loot from Shrek."
"What does Yun Ming wants to say though?"
Wulin and his group had gotten spirit souls from the seed of nature and they have joined the federal army. Gu Yuena was with them. She had lost her memories. The Seagod Pavillion, Shrek Academy and Tang Sect were currently in hiding. I need to talk to you about something. Are you fine?
"Hmmm·"
Fan Lin read through the few messages that Yun Ming had sent. He then checked his call logs and it was full of Qiangu Dongfeng's number.
"He survived. Good to know that."
"Gu Yuena? Not Gu Yue? Is that her family name? Real name? Whatever?"
Fan Lin sent a message to Yun Ming and set a day to meet.
"Now that this is over and I have kept my promise, I can finally move onto the things I planned to do."
