Dragon King of Apocalypse

Chapter 181: Restoration of Gold

A cool breeze went by as Tang Wulin stared down at the battlefield below. He could see Yali and the other Soul Masters combating the Evil Soul masters.

"Are you still not going to do anything?" Zeref's voice rang out as he appeared next to Tang Wulin with an arched brow.

Tang Wulin has been upon this tower after he helped Xu Lizhi get past the critical part of the Destruction Energy. It didn't take long as all he needed to do was leave some Lacrima filled with life energy and slowly help him condense the power.

He originally wasn't going to leave him, but his spiritual sense was able to pick up the wisp of death and decay. It went on to inform him of them being a bad influence on him, with the threat of danger being high.

So he went to check it out and has been observing since they began talking. He made no sign of moving even when he senses the aura of Yali and Xu Xiaoyan. Nor when they move to attack the Evil Soul Masters.

"Are you still on about that."Mutter Tang Wulin towards Zeref.

"Well, he isn't wrong. People can get hurt if this gets out of hand." Sleipnir's voice rang out as she appeared next to Tang Wulin. Yet she didn't glance at him but has been looking down at the Evil Soul Master with a glare.

"It's fine." Said Tang Wulin back to the both of them, while still gazing down.

"Did your sense tell you that?" Questioned Yggdrasil as she appeared and began sitting on Tang Wulin's shoulder.

"That's part of the reason."Said Tang Wulin.

His spiritual sense has indicated a low probability of the attacks being flung out, straying off towards the ice dome. Even then, Xu Xiaoyan was above the dome keeping track of any attacks with her Silver Moon Bow that she got from Mahal.

The other part was he truly didn't care if a few of them died or get injured. If they are stubborn enough to stay in an area where the conflict was happening, then they already accepted the consequences.

"Still, to think the human's anger and despair has reached this far."Mutter Yggdrasil with sorrowful eyes.

"This should be expected, as it's not easy moving on from the loss of a loved one. Especially when the being who caused it is still alive and living well." Said Zeref with a sad sigh.

He still remembers the mangled and burned decease body of his family. He remembered passing out while in the burning house, with the last image being his younger brother dying in his arms.

It was through the actions of the Dragon of Fiore or more accurately the Western Country Dragon.

It was only through his obsession with trying to find a way to bring back his little brother that he didn't become dominated with sorrow and revenge.

'Well one of us did.' Thought Zeref as he glances towards Tang Wulin.

"Even still, you would expect them to at least resist the temptation of the Evil Soul Master." Said Sleipnir while slowly trying to push down the anger that was building up inside of her.

It would be wrong to say she didn't feel anything when she saw the decapitated head of her people.

It would be even more wrong to say she didn't feel the urge and desire to go down and hack those Evil Soul Masters to pieces.

But she knew better, knew she couldn't cause any more fear to grow between these two races. As the images of a Spirit Beast swooping down and slaughtering humans, even though they were Evil Soul Master, it would still generate fear in the crowd.

"We humans are sometimes quick to submitting to the temptation of easy and fast revenge. Especially when all other options have failed or if there seems to be no other way that has shown up yet." Said Zeref with a sigh.

Zeref truly couldn't blame the people down there. Even he knew he would accept the deal of any being if it meant he could get his little brother back. The number of laws and rules he broke back in Fiore was known to the world, with him even being cursed by the God of Death, Ankhseram.

"Still, you aren't going to help Xu Xiaoyan or Yali?" Questioned Sleipnir after fully calming herself down and looking towards Wulin.

"No." Said Tang Wulin.

He already knows Xu Xiaoyan was strong enough to handle themselves or the training she went through would be pointless. As for Yali? No words need to be said about the person who was practically a Limit Douluo Powerhouse with her light element.

Yet anyone else who heard this answer would think he didn't care. But Zeref, Sleipnir, and Yggdrasil knew better, as they all were silent on the matter.

"It's coming to an end." Mutter Zeref as he saw one of the Evil Spirit Master quicky opening space and then running away.

As the Spirit Pagoda and Federation forces move to go chase them, Yali quickly stops them from following. This confused both forces but Yali only shook her head and told them to help build back the town.

As the damage that was caused by the fight of high-level Soul Masters was able to level most of the town square. It would have been even worse, had Xu Xiaoyan and Yali not have stopped most of the attacks.

Yali knew the consequences of the Spirit pagoda and Federation force had run off after the Evil Soul Master. It would pain them as a force that only new how to caused destruction without showing any care for the mortals and others.

Yali knew it would be too grave of making the people fear and loathe them even more.

Yet as she looks all around and sees the faces of some of the people. She couldn't help but wonder if it would have made a difference now.

It wasn't long after that the Spirit Pagoda and Federation began cleaning up. Yet not even this could stop the glares and sneers that were being sent towards them by the people of River Land City.

"Well, they should have expected this." Mutter Tang Wulin before getting up.

"I guess." Said Zeref softly.

"What are you going to do now?" Questioned Sleipnir.

"I have been putting off the Gold Tree for a while now. It's about time we go back."Said Tang Wulin with a sigh as he knew the situation was turning for the worst.

After meeting up with Yali and Xu Xiaoyan. Tang Wulin told her he was going to head back to Shrek, causing Yali eyes to lit up in joy and for a smile to bloom.

Xu Xiaoyan told him Tang Wulin that she was going to stay with her master for a while.

He told her that was fine, and he went to go see everyone else. Xu Xiaoyu said he was going to stay with his little sister for a while longer before going to Shrek.

While Xu Lizhi said he would stay also to work on the destruction energy and help out in the town.

Liu Yuxin informed and brief him about the changes in the world. His expression underwent some changes as she went over certain parts that caused him surprise and confusion.

After she was done briefing him, he asks her what she was planning to do.

She told him she was staying, causing him to nod and give her some Lacrima filled with life and destruction before telling her to train.

Then he left River Land City while the sun was setting, with him flying through the sky. With his light wings and him going at full speed, he believed it wouldn't take longer than two hours to reach Shrek.

In a deep grassy and lush valley filled with vegetation that was brimming with plants. Yet there was also a lack of life energy or source.

While there were the occasional plants and flowers, most of them were slowly wilting away as if there was a lack of energy.

In the middle of the valley was a massive tree with leaves and branches. Under the leaves and branches was a large treehouse that was supporting it.

The leaves on the tree swayed from the calm breeze and a serene sense of peace was reverberating through the area.

"It seems to be doing fine." Said Tang Wulin as he began descending into the valley once again.

"Don't say that Wulin. Don't you see he is suffering."Said Sleipnir as she appeared next to him while looking at the Gold Tree with sorrow.

"So that's the Child Of Nature." Mutter Yggdrasil as she appeared on Tang Wulin shoulder.

Tang Wulin only rolled his eyes before moving towards the Gold Tree, while also feeling the thoughts and feeling of nature around him. He felt the vines, grass, and branches stretching themselves towards him.

He could feel the everlasting happiness and joy of his coming, while also looking if he was hurt or tired. He could feel their warmth and small hands as they began touching his feet and arms.

"What do I do Sleipnir?" Questioned Tang Wulin as he reached the Gold Tree while watching the leaves and branches of the massive tree moving towards him.

"Just touch the Gold Tree and infuse the Life energy into it." Said Sleipnir while staring at the Gold Tree with care.

Nodding his head, Tang Wulin moved his hand towards the bark before then pouring the Life Energy that was inside of him, into the tree. Instantly his whole body began to glow as everything around him froze before trembling and shaking.

A cry resounded out from nature around as they all began to stare at Tang Wulin whose eyes closed. As green energy began to leave Tang Wulin and dive into the Gold Tree, the leaves and branches began glowing brilliantly.

It wasn't just that but nature around him was once again turning into a boundless sea of glittering gold. Alongside this was a golden-green mist that was sprouting and expanding from the valley.

It started from the valley and began gently spreading across the whole Sea God Island and even towards Shrek Academy.

The sparkling sea that was around the Sea God Island also began turning gold with a hint of green mixed into it.

There were cries of shock and alarm when the people throughout the Sea God and Shrek saw a similar phenomenon that happened over a year ago.

Similar to the phenomenon, they started to feel maternal warmth and care as little light particles began to flow upward. They were all mesmerized by the spiritual light and auspicious energy that was dancing gracefully around them.

It caused them to feel at peace as if they were far from danger, in a home of guaranteed safety and comfort. The dancing light was making everyone's bodies, and spirits completely relax.

Of course, this also raised the thoughts and imagination of all who saw this. Especially the members of the Sea God Pavillion.

"...You're finally back." A voice rang out as countless shadows drop down behind Tang Wulin and the Gold Tree. It was none other than the Sea God Pavillion elders and the master who came.

Yet Tang Wulin didn't turn around or seems to have noticed them, as he continued pouring his energy inside of the Gold Tree.

"To think he was the cause of all of this." Mutter Long Yeyue she glances eagerly around the golden lit valley, while also spreading out her spiritual sense.

"Haha! That's my disciple" Laughed Zhuo Shi loudly while gazing thoughtfully at the disciple he hasn't seen in months.

"Is he restoring the Gold Tree? But how!" Questioned Elder Cai in shock as she was one of the few people who knew the terrifying history of the Gold Tree.

'...Could he have absorbed the Life Energy on the demon island? Is this what he meant.' Thought Yun Ming with a bit of shock as he didn't think Wulin would go as far as to absorb the Life Energy.

Then he shook his head as he knew the Gold Tree was vastly more important than the Demon Island.

Compared to the Gold Tree that was planted by the legendary Tang San and has protected Shrek for over thousands of years.

How could the Demon Island compare?

'Hopefully, this will heal the Gold Tree at least above 50 percent.' Thought Yun Ming as he continues watching the restoration.

The withering plants and grass around were slowly becoming more rejuvenated. They all began to stand upright once again after months and began shimmering with extraordinary vitality.

They let out passionate cries of joy and thanks that could be heard all the way from Shrek Academy.

Yet only Tang Wulin could hear and understand them. But they didn't mind, as he was the one that was deemed worthy enough to hear.

"Thank you." A voice resounded from the Gold Tree as a spectral old man began to appear next to Tang Wulin.

"Thank you so much." Said the Old Man as tears began to leak from his eyes, as he saw precious life coming back to the magnificent Gold tree.
