The Shrek Academy and Tang Sect were destroyed by a level-12 God Slaying Soul Guidance Cannon, and on the surface, this act was attributed to the Holy Spirit Cult.
However, everyone understands that the Sun Moon Federation and the Spirit Pagoda played an important role behind the scenes.
If it weren't for the covert operations by certain agencies within the Sun Moon Federation and the Spirit Pagoda, it would have been impossible for the Holy Spirit Cult to carry out such an operation. Whether it was stealing the level-12 God Slaying Soul Guidance Cannon from the War God Temple or transporting it to Shrek City to detonate, it could not have been done by the Cult alone.
Given the radiation range of the level-12 God Slaying Soul Guidance Cannon, as soon as it neared the city, the Federation's radar would have detected it.
Looking back now, Yali truly felt regret.
She regretted not being able to stop Shrek Academy from going down a path of no return.
Leng Yaozhu was very decisive. She knew that if the Spirit Pagoda didn't make changes, it would eventually clash with the Sun Moon Federation.
So, she directly made the Spirit Pagoda submit to the Sun Moon Federation.
When she first met Xia Yi in East Sea City and listened to his words, Yali had actually started trying to resolve the conflict between Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Federation.
She thought of many feasible solutions and even discussed them privately with Yunming, but none of the solutions could avoid bowing to the Sun Moon Federation.
Yunming felt that this would harm Shrek Academy's honor and disagreed with it.
Yali was afraid that arguing with Yunming would affect their relationship, and possibly even cause her to lose Yunming. She didn't press the matter further.
If it weren't for Yunming's words, even knowing it was unlikely to succeed, Yali would have tried her best to attempt it.
For Yunming, she hadn't even attempted.
For Yunming, she gave up so much.
If what was said in the Valley of Love and Judgment were true, Yali wouldn't have given up so much for Yunming.
If she had really tried, even if she failed, Yali wouldn't regret it like she did now.
The Valley of Love and Judgment didn't argue with Yali but asked in a calm voice, "What about him?"
A flash of golden light appeared and immediately landed on Xia Yi.
Instantly, the bubbles around Xia Yi burst, and he began to float in the rising golden light.
"Xia Yi!" Yali's gaze was complicated as she looked at Xia Yi, quickly avoiding his eyes and saying, "Although we have some misunderstandings, we're just friends."
As she spoke, Yali instinctively glanced at Xia Yi to see his reaction.
Seeing that Xia Yi's gaze remained calm, she relaxed slightly, though deep down, she felt a vague and indescribable sense of loss.
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?" The voice of the Valley of Love and Judgment continued to ask in the same calm tone.
"It's nothing, I was schemed against, affected by the power of lust, and had an affair. If you think it's my fault and wish to punish me, I accept it," Yali said flatly. Though the incident on Devil Island was mainly caused by Long Ye Yue and not her fault, if the Valley of Love and Judgment insisted that she was unfaithful, she would accept the blame.
"Do you have a lover?" The calm voice of the Valley of Love and Judgment no longer addressed Yali but instead asked Xia Yi.
"Yes!" Xia Yi replied without hesitation.
"Who is it?" the Valley of Love and Judgment asked.
Hearing the question, Yali curiously raised her head to look at Xia Yi, eager to see how he would respond.
Looking at Yali, Xia Yi smiled and said, "Loving one person is too tiring, so I like many people—Gu Yue, Zhu'er, Yulai, Fozi…"
"A wandering playboy, a man like you will only defile the sacred Valley of Love and Judgment." Xia Yi's words were interrupted before he could finish. The voice of the Valley of Love and Judgment, once calm, now carried a hint of murderous intent.
"Crack!" A golden light flashed out of nowhere, like a golden whip, fiercely striking toward Xia Yi.
"Stop!" Seeing that the Valley of Love and Judgment was about to strike Xia Yi, especially hearing the murderous intent in the voice, Yali couldn't sit still any longer. She extended her jade hand and tried to grab the golden whip.
In an instant, the soul power that had been sealed by the Valley of Love and Judgment was released, and without any hesitation, Yali grabbed the golden whip in her hand. No matter how the golden whip tried to wriggle, it could not escape from her grasp.
Seeing Yali suddenly appear, Xia Yi smiled and quickly retracted the Earth Cauldron, which he had been preparing to activate for the creation of the Genesis Force.
"What are you doing?" The Valley of Love and Judgment's voice became stern as it addressed Yali.
"Xia Yi was just speaking the truth. Is it really fair for you to attack him like this? At least you should understand the reason before taking action," Yali said coldly.
Looking at the golden whip that was immobilized in her hand, Yali furrowed her brows. Before bringing Xia Yi to the Valley of Love and Judgment, she had carefully studied its information.
How could the Valley of Love and Judgment be this weak?
A thousand years ago, the Valley of Love and Judgment had easily defeated a group of Shrek Academy's powerful Title Douluo, including the fierce attacking Soul Douluo, Taotie Douluo, who was just one step away from becoming a Limit Douluo.
The Valley of Love and Judgment even knew that Huo Yuhao's father, the Spirit Ice Douluo, had been assassinated by the Sun Moon Empire from thousands of miles away and had sent Huo Yuhao for rescue.
The Valley of Love and Judgment had such strength. Even though she was only a quasi-god, she was a healing soul master. Unless there was a special soul spirit restraint, her strength should have been at a different level.
Why was it so easy to break through the Valley of Love and Judgment's soul power sealing now?
And she even directly captured the golden whip of the Valley of Love and Judgment.
"It's just a realm left behind by a dead god. How much strength could it have?" The Goddess of Life seemed to understand what Yali was thinking and proactively explained to her.
"If you can't even deal with her, how could you seal me and Little Green in your spiritual world?" The God of Destruction added disdainfully.
"But a thousand years ago, when Ling Bing Douluo, the God of Emotions, came here, the Valley of Love and Judgment was very strong, right?" Yali thought to herself, puzzled.
"That time was because the Sea God intervened to test his son-in-law," the God of Destruction said nonchalantly. He had been secretly monitoring Tang San to deal with him.
He knew everything about Tang San's involvement with the Valley of Love and Judgment.
If it weren't for Tang San's interference, how could the Valley of Love and Judgment be so miraculous?
"But I remember you said that gods can't interfere with matters in the lower realms? Not even the God King can?" Yali still didn't understand.
"Ahem…" The God of Destruction coughed a couple of times but didn't explain.
Even the Goddess of Life remained silent.
As the highest beings in the God Realm, the God Kings had created these so-called rules.
Though they supervised one another, as long as it wasn't too excessive, other God Kings would turn a blind eye.
Moreover, Tang San was the master of the God Realm's central authority.
The God of Destruction had no time to bother with such trivial matters.
