Xu Yuan had gathered some intelligence beforehand, but he hadn't expected that the other overlords were only a few dozen kilometers away from Nalunduo.
Where is Tang Wulin?
He detonates the soul-guided cannonball, and the other overlords in the vicinity will also rush there.
His safety now hinges on where he detonated the shell.
If the explosion were detonated right at the start of the escape, Tang Yinmeng might not have enough time to react when surrounded by the three overlords.
"Don't worry, Master's wife. Wu Lin has plenty of ways to protect himself."
Xu Yuan didn't think Tang Wulin would be in danger.
"Yes, that's what they say, but we still need to send people to help. Mu Zi hasn't left yet, so I'll have him go and provide support."
Previously, Xu Yuan detonated a level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell, and Lan Muzi, being the closest, was the first to arrive.
In fact, Ya Li and her group also sent out a wave of support, but when they encountered Xu Yuan and his group on the way, Xu Yuan was escorting two overlords back.
Xu Yuan had no objections.
We can't exactly advise the higher-ups to ignore the students, can we?
“Master’s wife, I’m going to continue exploring. This time I plan to go to the area of the three kings in the north to explore and find out more details about the Hell Plane Passage.”
Upon hearing this, Yali hesitated for a moment before saying, "Xiaoyuan, let's wait a little longer. Na'er also mentioned wanting to come here for some training. Why don't you take her with you this time?"
"Huh? Na'er?" Xu Yuan was taken aback.
Shrek, Ice Plaza.
Na'er swung her long, white legs and sat on a boulder in the square, looking quite content.
Beside the boulder, Gu Yue leaned against the rock, her gaze distant.
“I am you, and you are me.” Na’er’s tone was light and cheerful, without any hint of repression, showing a clear understanding of her situation.
If that were all, Gu Yue wouldn't have any worries.
However, Na'er's next words made Gu Yue frown.
“But from another perspective, I am just me, a new life form, not another side of you,” Na’er said.
Looking up at the sky, Na'er smiled.
"I think some of the things he says unintentionally are very reasonable."
He said that everyone's existence has its own unique meaning, and no one should depend on anyone else. Even biological parents mostly respect their children's opinions.
“Sometimes, I even suspect that he knows something,” Na’er said quietly. “He actually told me that every newborn is a part of the mother, a piece of flesh cut from the mother’s body, a brand new life that the mother is nurturing.”
Gu Yue's expression was stiff.
Having gone this far, she naturally understood what Na'er meant.
In fact, what Na'er said was not wrong at all.
From another perspective, Na'er is indeed a new life she has conceived, her child.
Gu Yue spent tens of thousands of years healing at the bottom of the Lake of Life, but she was never able to completely eliminate her injuries. Transformation was a shortcut that would allow her to get rid of her injuries and seal her original power within her body. Even if she became human, she could quickly digest her original power and return to her peak condition.
However, for soul beasts, transformation is a change of race.
What makes humans human is their humanity.
Even Gu Yue himself couldn't explain exactly where this human nature lay.
This is beyond words.
At the same time, considering the changes to the soul beasts she had previously transformed into, she separated the extra humanity in her consciousness after her initial transformation, creating the separate consciousness of Na'er.
Na'er was completely clueless at the time, like a newborn baby, with no memories of Gu Yue.
As for Na'er's body, it was formed from one of Gu Yue's ribs. With the power of her transformation, one of the Silver Dragon King's ribs also transformed into a human body, just like a real 100,000-year-old soul beast.
Moreover, Na'er is different from transformed soul beasts; she is more accurately described as a true human, or even a kind of innate human.
Her body was formed from the ribs of the Silver Dragon King, and through its own development, it formed the martial spirit of the Silver Dragon Spear.
Later, when she became more sensible, Gu Yue was able to communicate with her on a spiritual level, integrating many memories into Na'er's mind and instilling the idea that Na'er was a part of her.
In fact, Gu Yue herself knew that Na'er was more like a completely new life entity.
However, the Silver Dragon Spear is very important to her.
Having lost the Golden Dragon Spear ten thousand years ago, the Silver Dragon King also needs his own Silver Dragon Spear to quickly restore his power.
Na'er is the natural vessel for 'forging' the Silver Dragon Spear.
The Silver Dragon Spear is now complete. Once Na'er's condition stabilizes, Gu Yue can merge with Na'er, integrating the Silver Dragon Spear into her body and simultaneously unsealing her sealed past life power, thus becoming the true incarnation of the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yue Na.
Everything went relatively smoothly.
However, Gu Yue now feels that things are getting out of control.
Na'er has actually started to disapprove of their relationship.
Does Xu Yuan actually know something?
Gu Yue was puzzled.
She was certain that everything between her and Na'er was a top secret, something even Yun Ming couldn't see through.
What right does Xu Yuan have to know the situation?
But if he didn't know the situation, why would he bring up the relationship between a newborn and the mother for no reason?
There are many other ideas that seem to be intentionally or unintentionally guiding Na'er's thoughts.
Gu Yue had often heard Na'er share some 'insights' she had gained from Xu Yuan. These insights were novel to Na'er, but not so friendly to Gu Yue.
"Actually, I've thought about this for a long time. I've wanted to make things clear with you for a long time, but I haven't been able to make up my mind." Na'er's eyes were vacant as she looked at the sky, as if she was reminiscing.
"Do you know, just two days ago, a big event happened in the inner courtyard. All the senior brothers and sisters got involved, but I was the only one who didn't participate. I feel like an outsider." Na'er's expression showed a hint of loneliness and regret.
“I should participate. I am also a member of the inner courtyard. I am my master and mistress’s disciple, and I am his junior sister,” Na’er said softly.
Gu Yue's brows furrowed even more deeply.
Suddenly, she raised her head and looked towards the inner courtyard. Her expression showed a slight struggle, but she had no choice but to give up her decision. With a flash of silver light, her figure disappeared.
A moment later, the space rippled, and Yun Ming's figure appeared.
Na'er smiled happily.
"Teacher~"

When Xu Yuan learned that Na'er was also coming to the Demon World, he stopped rushing to leave the stronghold and waited for her to arrive.
Two days later, Shrek's gains here were increasing.
One by one, the senior students from the inner academy returned from outside and reported on the completion of their respective tasks.
Not everyone is like Xu Yuan, going out to explore aimlessly and conduct pioneering tests, where whatever they encounter is considered part of their exploration and gains.
Most of the senior students in the inner courtyard conduct their surveys with a specific purpose, such as conducting specialized tests on the surrounding terrain, environment, and even geology.
Geological testing is crucial, as it determines whether Shrek Academy can quickly transform the environment using the unique plants of the Douluo Continent.
Of course, some senior students did engage in combat, but only a few were able to capture them alive.
Most of the senior students brought back the corpses of demons, which were studied together with the corpses of the demonic creatures that had previously invaded Poseidon Island.
This is a war between planes.
Within the plane, there is a nominal good versus evil between Shrek Academy and the Spirit Tower, as well as between the Holy Spirit Cult. However, between planes, there is no absolute good or evil.
Even the abyss follows its own rules: devouring the weak to strengthen itself.
However, for the planes they devoured, this was boundless evil.
Now that Shrek has reversed its invasion of the demon dimension, there's no right or wrong.
From Shrek's perspective, Shrek did nothing wrong. They were seeking their own benefit and preparing for a potential crisis involving god-killing missiles.
"The effects of refining the energy of the Demon Realm are astonishing; even my body has been significantly tempered."
In fact, cultivating in the area unfiltered by the Golden Ancient Tree provides the best tempering effect on Xu Yuan's body from the energy of heaven and earth, which is one of the reasons why Xu Yuan wanted to go out.
During his last outing, he didn't dare to carelessly begin cultivating because he was unfamiliar with the surrounding situation.
This time it's different.
Having learned about the distribution of the surrounding overlords from Kai and Sass, Xu Yuan could find a safe place to cultivate for a while.
"The interesting thing is that even if I refine the energy of heaven and earth to enhance my soul power and blood power, the energy after it is consumed will still remain in the demon plane."
Energy is conserved.
However, after the soul power is consumed, it will exist in this world in another form.
Once consumed in the demon world, it will return to the demon plane.
If this energy is consumed in the Douluo Continent, it will naturally be integrated into the operation of the Douluo plane and become the foundation of the plane.
