Chapter 1944 Sky Tree She vowed to be a vegetarian after Heaven Dou City was destroyed to seek blessings for her deceased family members. She had always lived a thrifty and simple life.The secretary set the table for her.

Mo Lan said smilingly, “You should go ahead and have your meal too.”

The secretary said, “Speaker, I would like to apply for a few days’ leave after the assembly has ended.”

“Oh? Are you planning to travel?” asked Mo Lan with a smile. She treated the people around her well.

The secretary had a look of yearning in her eyes. “I want to travel to the new Shrek City to have a look. I heard that it’s now a holy land. This year’s enrollment day for Shrek Academy is still some time away, but many parents are already taking their children there now. Moreover, I’d like to take a look at the Sky Tree too.”

“Sky Tree? That’s right! Let alone you, even I’d like to go over and see it.” Similarly, Mo Lan had a look of yearning in her eyes.

The secretary said, “Shrek Academy has made an official announcement to name the tree as the Eternal Tree. The Sea God’s Island will be rebuilt on the crown of the tree. It is said that the Eternal Tree is over a thousand meters in height. It is even taller than the Spirit Pagoda’s headquarters and the crown is as large as the entire Sea God Lake. Naturally, a gigantic tree house is formed on top of the tree. The place is also filled with rich life sources. As soon as one steps into the ring-shaped Shrek City, one will clearly feel its rich life source such that whoever is suffering from a disease will be soothed. It’s truly miraculous.”

Mo Lan could not help chuckling and said, “Is it really that miraculous? However, if it’s built on the tree crown, the name Sea God’s Island may not be suitable anymore. After all, it’s no longer an island.”

The secretary said, “That’s true. I heard that they’re going to change its name. A portion of the area will still be named the Sea God’s Island while the development on the tree crown will be known as the Eternal Sky City. In the future, the inner court of Shrek City will be in the Eternal Sky City. I look forward to seeing it. Perhaps all the youths on the entire continent will now dream of becoming Shrek Academy’s students so as to be able to cultivate in the Eternal Sky City one day.”

In the early morning at Shrek City.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!” Chen Xinjie was sweeping the grounds with a huge broom in his hands.

At present, his healthy face looked flushed albeit ever smiling. It seemed like he was having an especially good time sweeping.

Upon closer inspection, his initial gray hair had surprisingly turned jet black. He even appeared rejuvenated.

A silhouette ran out from the dormitory and began to jog around the field. The silhouette noticed Chen Xinjie sweeping and began running toward him.

“Elder Chen.” He bowed in salutation toward Chen Xinjie.

Chen Xinjie chuckled. “Going for a jog again? What a hardworking boy you are.”

Yi Zichen did not take part in the battle because he was still a student. No student was allowed to join the battle.

However, he knew about the situation on the frontline having watched the video recording. Hence, he learned that Old Chen the sweeper was actually one of the most powerful almighties on the Douluo Continent. On the other hand, the old woman who was discourteous toward Old Chen was the Light Dark Douluo, one of the influential Excellencies and also the person who is the most senior in Shrek Academy.

“It’s what I’m supposed to do.” Yi Zichen smiled and said, “I’ll certainly put in more effort, work hard, and strive to enter the inner court within the shortest time possible.” As he spoke, he raised his head and looked up to the sky.

Huge branches of a tree came into view. The branches extended outward and upward from the center of the Sea God’s Lake to form a gigantic, umbrella-shaped crown.

When the sunlight shone from the other side, the main academic building in Shrek Academy was shaded by the tree’s shadow completely. It provided a refreshing coolness on a warm day.

Ever since the end of the great war, the Ancient Life Tree which broke the surface of the water grew to a thousand meters in height within a month. The gigantic crown akin to a huge umbrella shaded the surface of Sea God’s Lake. Dense life sources diffused to the outside continuously from the tree. The water in the Sea God’s Lake turned into a translucent green soon after.

The miraculous scene shocked everyone. There was no doubt that the transformation only occurred after the Ancient Life Tree had devoured the abyssal plane.

The Ancient Life Tree was the life core of the Douluo Continent. The rise of its power also signified the elevation of the Douluo Continent plane’s life force.

The vegetation’s growth rate on the entire Douluo Star had now increased substantially. It was not only limited to the Douluo Continent. The Star Luo Continent and the Dou Spirit Continent also underwent similar changes. The entire planet was brimming with vitality.

After devouring an entire plane, the Douluo Star not only regained vitality, it also began to evolve just as Tang Hao said before he left.

The evolution of a planet took many years. It might take ten years, a hundred years, or even a thousand year. In any case, it was definitely a good situation.

Undoubtedly, the Shrek Ring City was the center of it all.

The construction had extended to a few areas located a few kilometers away from the Shrek Ring City by now. In fact, the Federation had decided to build four satellite cities around it. As a result, the price of houses in the Heaven Dou City shot up precisely because the Eternal Tree could be seen from the Heaven Dou City.

“Are you slacking again?” A furious voice was heard. Ling Zichen felt his vision blurred for a moment when a person appeared next to him. It was a young maiden with a pair of kind eyes. She looked exquisite. Her hands were on her hips while her almond-shaped eyes widened. She was pouting and glaring at Chen Xinjie.

“I don’t dare, I don’t dare. I’m going to continue to do my work,” replied Chen Xinjie obediently. He waved his hand at Yi Zichen to dismiss him. Then, he lifted his broom to continue sweeping the area.

Yi Zichen had a bewildered look on his face. The sight of the young maiden was quite familiar, yet it seemed as if he had never encountered her before. He could not help looking back as he jogged away on the field. He took two more glances at her.

The young maiden stood by Chen Xinjie’s side in a manner akin to supervising him. She said in an unpleasant tone, “Why do you still keep this appearance of yours? Do you enjoy being old?”

Chen Xinjie chuckled aloud. “I only look like Old Chen the sweeper in this appearance!”

The young maiden was no other than the Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue herself.

The Ancient Life Tree transformed by A Yin had evolved into the Ancient Eternal Tree after devouring the abyssal plane. It would need a very long time to digest and absorb the massive amount of life force. Consequently, it entered into a deep sleep.

On the other hand, everyone who took part in the war and had contributed to the war was rewarded in the form of life force. Naturally, those who were old and ailing like Chen Xinjie and Long Yeyue benefited the most from the reward. Their life spans were extended by a few decades at the very least. Most importantly, they retained their youthful appearance.

At present, the overall Douluo Star, the lord of the Douluo Continent and the life core were all evolving. This would result in the transformation of the entire planet. A few decades later, who could say that the soul masters would not be able to breakthrough to rank-100 or even achieve the higher ranks?

The concept of Godhood was collective. When the Douluo Continent plane achieved an even higher rank, a soul master over rank-100 would be able to achieve the power of an ordinary Godhood. By then, mankind’s life span would be further extended.

Chen Xinjie and Long Yeyue received an additional reward which was even more pleasing for them. They would remain young till the end of their lives.

It was fine for Chen Xinjie, but, as a woman, nothing could be more pleasing for Long Yeyue. At present, Old Chen the sweeper assumed the senile look just so he did not appear to be out of place.

Long Yeyue stepped forward and stood by Chen Xinjie’s side. She looked at him smilingly. “I really didn’t expect heaven to grant us a few more decades to be together. It’s really awesome.”

Chen Xinjie stopped sweeping abruptly. He wrapped his arms around her. He heaved an emotional sigh and said, “That’s right! I don’t want to do anything else now. I just want to be with you every single day.”
