Chapter 175: A Young Man Named Otto Arrives In The Sun Moon Empire
Mu En saw Bai E’s archive, combined with his own understanding of him and the evaluation of him by the people of Xilu City, and made up his mind to take him as a disciple and cultivate him as the Sea God Pavilion Master.
Then he successively checked the archives of Mademos, Feng Jin, Ti Bao, and Xia Die. These four children, as Bai E’s partners, with their extremely strong talent, would also become members of the Sea God Pavilion in the future.
With these four and some of his own future remaining forces, it could ensure that Bai E would have absolute control over Shrek in the future.
Mu En did not want to leave the infighting of his generation to Bai E.
Just like his own teacher, who paved all roads for him before passing away and suppressed all dissenting voices in Shrek.
“Maybe this is inheritance.”
“However, the Xilu City concentration in the future Sea God Pavilion seems a bit too high.”
After reading the archives, Mu En strolled on the playground behind the orphanage’s teaching building, then laughed haha a few times.
“The future high-level officials of Shrek seem to all be people from Xilu City.”
“Really interesting.”
“This city is truly a place of outstanding people.”
“It makes me want to move Shrek Academy here.”
“It feels like the luck of the entire continent has gathered here.”
“Hahaha!”
Mu En joked to himself inwardly a few times, planning to wheel his wheelchair away from the orphanage and go to Xilu City’s commercial street to take some more photos and learn about the situation.
He felt that the city planning here was also very good, and Shrek City could learn from it.
Regarding the fact that the future high-level officials of Shrek Academy were basically all people from Xilu City, Mu En didn’t care at all. Since they had this potential and their backgrounds were completely fine, who would care about their origins?
Even if there were problems with their backgrounds, Mu En would absolutely not give up on these children. Shrek Academy was already an aging giant on the verge of a cliff.
One more step back, and this massive giant would fall to pieces, with limbs scattering everywhere.
From the outside, Shrek Academy still seemed infinitely glorious, but in reality, it was already aged and frail.
As the highest leader of Shrek Academy, Mu En clearly knew this was the truth.
Corrupt high-level officials, chaos within the academy, outdated teaching concepts, eyes blinded by ten thousand years of glory, and a severe lack of top-end combat power.
These phenomena all made Mu En wear a mask of pain.
It was only the considerable number of Titled Douluo that allowed Mu En to breathe a slight sigh of relief. At least Shrek’s foundation was still there, and no major mistakes had been made.
As long as the foundation was still there, Mu En could confidently wield the knife against Shrek Academy.
Shrek Academy would at most be weak for a period of time, but it would welcome true rebirth!
During this period of weakness, Mu En would shelter the soon-to-be-reborn Shrek with his own Bright Holy Dragon Wings.
If it really didn’t work, Mu En would set aside his old face and contact his once close friend Long Xiaoyao through the Magic Net.
Beg him, and if that didn’t work, kowtow to him. That old boy Long Xiaoyao couldn’t stand it; he would definitely help.
Mu En had no doubt that as long as he asked for help, Long Xiaoyao would definitely come to assist.
Because he was the same; if Long Xiaoyao asked for help, he would also do his utmost to help this old friend.
The two of them had a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, so there was a connection between the Bright Holy Dragon and the Dark Saint Dragon.
When they parted back then, he had always carefully observed this connection, fearing it would be cut off.
Later he found that this connection had never been broken, which meant Long Xiaoyao also missed the past and had not severed this connection.
Back then, when Mu En’s heart was stirring in spring, he even fantasized that Long Xiaoyao was a woman disguised as a man, actually a beautiful girl.
As a result, he hung Long Xiaoyao up and whipped him, but that old boy stubbornly refused to admit it.
Thinking of these embarrassing incidents from his early years, Mu En’s mouth always curved up slightly, his eyes filled with nostalgia.
He was old and liked to reminisce about the past. In his short life, he had done many wrong things, but the one thing he considered correct was knowing Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui.
In the desolate autumn wind, Mu En wheeled his wheelchair toward the commercial street and unexpectedly saw the Snow King Ice City next to him. His eyes moved slightly, and he decided to go try the milk tea that young people nowadays like to drink.
“Cough!”
In a restaurant in Mingdu, an elderly man with a tall body and a head of silver hair suddenly coughed while cutting steak.
“It can’t be that old boy Mu En talking about me, right?”
“Hmph, it definitely is.”
“You old thing, you actually dared to steal my name!”
Long Xiaoyao chewed the steak fiercely with a face full of resentment.
When the Magic Net had just opened, he planned to name himself ‘Dark Dragon Emperor’, but the Magic Net told him the name was already taken.
He knew right then it must have been that old thing Mu En!
So he named himself ‘Bright Dragon God’.
After figuring out the Magic Net, Long Xiaoyao felt both worried and expectant, waiting for Mu En to add him as a contact.
In the end, he found that Mu En hadn’t added him as a friend on the Magic Net at all.
Thinking of this, Long Xiaoyao took a fierce swig of wine, opened the Magic Net, and entered ‘Dark Dragon Emperor’ in the add friend input box.
Just as he was about to click the “Add Friend” button, he suddenly stopped.
“Hmph!”
“This old man won’t proactively add you as a friend.”
“Old boy, after so many years, not even sending a single letter. It must be intentional!”
“I’ll give you one more month. If you don’t add me, wait for me to curse you out!”
Long Xiaoyao decisively closed the Magic Net. He didn’t believe Mu En wouldn’t check the Magic Net user ‘Bright Dragon God’.
That old boy must be doing it on purpose.
Long Xiaoyao took another sip of wine, his gaze somewhat dim.
He both looked forward to reconnecting with Mu En and feared meeting him.
Whether in the past or now, he had ultimately let him down.
The matter with Ye Xishui back then was his mistake!
If he could do it over, he wished he could directly cut off his own second brother; all the karmic ties stemmed from that.
And now, Long Xiaoyao had no face to face Mu En and could only sense his condition through the Martial Soul connection.
Mu En was the Sea God Pavilion Master, the nemesis of all Evil Soul Masters on the continent, while he was now mixing with the Holy Spirit Cult and no longer clean.
Holding the title of Chief Offering of the Holy Spirit Cult, Long Xiaoyao dared not meet Mu En.
He wasn’t afraid of Mu En angrily scolding him, only afraid of him looking at him with disappointed eyes, then turning away and severing the Martial Soul connection himself.
Just thinking of that scene made Long Xiaoyao tremble uncontrollably. Making him go through that would be worse than killing him directly.
This was an ultimate insult even more ultimate than the ultimate insult.
“Xi Shui.”
“I’ve fallen for you in this lifetime.”
Long Xiaoyao looked out the window, his gaze somewhat scattered, not knowing what he was thinking.
Actually, Long Xiaoyao knew one thing very well: if one day Ye Xishui and Mu En both begged for his help, no matter the process, he would definitely choose to help Mu En!
“Dragon Elder, I’ve already paid the bill.”
“It’s time to leave. The Supreme Sect Leader has something to discuss.”
A handsome man with golden long hair tied into a ponytail draped over his left shoulder and emerald green eyes full of confidence came to Long Xiaoyao’s side with a smile.
Long Xiaoyao took a final sip of wine and said to the man beside him, who always carried a sense of composure:
“Otto.”
“I understand.”
“Let’s go.”
Long Xiaoyao stood up and followed the man named Otto out of the restaurant, walking on the streets of Mingdu.
“By the way, I remember Ye Xishui arranged for you to enter the Prince’s Mansion.”
“How has it been lately?”
“If it’s too dangerous, I can transfer you out.”
Otto smiled faintly and said:
“Simple work.”
“The Prince is not hard to deal with.”
“He can’t discover my identity.”
“The Prince’s Mansion basically follows my orders.”
“Does the Holy Religion need to plant someone?”
Long Xiaoyao paused, patted Otto’s shoulder, and said:
“Hahaha!”
“As expected of the young man I favor the most!”
“Do well, and later I’ll let you enter the Hall of Offerings.”
“Alright, you go back. I’ll go see her myself.”
Otto placed his palm on his chest, bowed slightly in etiquette, and said:
“At your command.”
After that, Otto and Long Xiaoyao headed in different directions. Passing through an alley, Otto lightly brushed his shoulder, as if wanting to wipe away some dirt.
“What a nauseating country and church.”
“But fortunately, these people are very naive in terms of struggle.”
“The Prince’s Mansion is not my goal.”
Otto looked at the luxurious and majestic Imperial Palace in the core of Mingdu, a meaningful smile on his face.
“Stealing the country and stealing the church.”
“[Lord] really knows how to give difficult problems.”
“But there are plenty of methods.”
“These guys’ intelligence is not even as good as Siegfried’s.”
“Just right, I also intend to change this country and the so-called Holy Religion.”
“Otherwise, if Kallen comes here and sees this scene, she would probably be very sad.”
After saying that, Otto opened the Magic Net, looked at the smiling white-haired woman on it, his heart melting, a genuine gentleness on his face.
Otto Apocalis and Kallen Kaslana were characters imagined and manifested by Huo Yuhao half a year ago.
The two were similarly recorded and constructed through Plane Consciousness, passing high-dimensional and low-dimensional dual authentication.
The main target was actually Otto; Kallen served as the anchor to maintain Otto’s conscience.
When manifesting Otto, Huo Yuhao knew that to get a slightly normal Otto, Kallen was indispensable.
Without Kallen, who knows what kind of antics Otto would pull on him.
After being manifested, Otto was given the Void Myriad Storehouse authenticated by Spiritual Eye + Rubik’s Cube + Mirror Beast + [Understanding] authority.
Possessing the abilities of understanding and replication, though needing soul rings to gradually enhance.
Kallen had the restraining cross, also called Judas’s Oath.
Main abilities were sealing and binding.
Otto was thrown by Huo Yuhao into the Sun Moon Empire to figure out how to steal the Holy Spirit Cult and Sun Moon Empire himself.
Kallen stayed in Xilu City, working in the Root Group, and also as an executive at the maid coffee shop.
Otto fully supported this arrangement with both hands and feet raised; he didn’t want Kallen to go to dangerous places either.
Since arriving in the Sun Moon Empire half a year ago, Otto started from scratch, established a bait organization, which was quickly discovered and absorbed by the Holy Spirit Cult.
Using the information given by Huo Yuhao, he connected with the Hall of Offerings of the Holy Spirit Cult and became Long Xiaoyao’s confidant.
Later, he was personally arranged by Ye Xishui to the Prince’s Mansion to surveil Xu Tianran.
This perfectly fit Otto’s plan.
Right under the nose of the Prince’s Mansion or even Xu Tianran, he gradually subverted and brainwashed the Prince’s confidants.
The entire Prince’s Mansion was nominally surnamed Xu, but actually surnamed Apocalis.
Xu Tianran was completely unaware, even thinking Otto had outstanding work ability and heaven-defying intellect.
Because of the trust, Otto often gave Xu Tianran strategies and plans, using various methods that made Xu Tianran exclaim in admiration to eliminate disobedient ministers in the Imperial Palace.
He clearly regarded Otto as his think tank.
Ju Zi felt infinite fear toward Otto.
She feared the schemes of the man before her eyes and also feared losing favor, unable to achieve her ambitions.
Thus, she intentionally or unintentionally indicated Otto’s danger to Xu Tianran from time to time, but Xu Tianran didn’t listen at all.
Even after Otto developed a medicine for Xu Tianran that could regenerate severed limbs, he directly sent the nagging Ju Zi to Mingde Hall.
He looked at Otto with tears in his eyes, wishing to swear brotherhood with him on the spot.
And promised Otto that as long as he ascended to the throne, the Imperial Advisor of the Sun Moon Empire would be Otto!
But unfortunately, Otto had no interest in the so-called Imperial Advisor; all this was just the [Lord]’s command.
Otto only wanted to quickly complete the task and return to Xilu City to travel the world with Kallen.
Accompany Kallen in this world to practice her own path.
He had always been worried that Xilu City might suddenly produce a pink-haired woman with donkey ears who would cuckold him.
Thinking of this, Otto gnashed his teeth.
Of course, just as Xu Tianran did to the old Emperor, all of Otto’s gentleness was sweet poison.
That limb-regenerating medicine contained a special spiritual liquid metal.
Every time it was consumed, Otto gained a bit more control over Xu Tianran’s body.
Once the metal fully replaced the spine and nerves, Xu Tianran’s body would be his cage.
Otto was going to hoist Xu Tianran high, make him become Emperor, and finally, when he ascended the throne, say to him:
“Xu Tianran, I didn’t lie.”
