Chapter 256 The Crown Prince?
Despite their best efforts to plead and persuade at the entrance of the Education Department, the two were still stopped and prevented from entering.
Finally, they had to reveal their identities as teachers from the Elemental Academy, only to be told by the gatekeeper that Dean Huo Tiancheng was away on official business and unlikely to return for some time.
The two were speechless with frustration.
"Sister, what should we do now? Who should we go to? The Douluo Alliance's treasury was almost robbed recently, and I'll be even busier."
After discussing it for a while, they decided to go to their uncle, Huo Wushuang. Surely the head of the Administration Department couldn't be away too, could he?
After some further communication at the entrance of the Administration Department, they finally managed to meet their uncle, Huo Wushuang.
Huo Wushuang was surprised to see Wang Mingxu and Wang Nanfa, the siblings, arrive. "Lanfang, Mingxu, what brings you two to the Douluo Federation? Shouldn't you be studying at the Elemental Academy?"
Wang Lanfang, unusually, displayed a coquettish expression. "Uncle, we were planning a training trip, but we ended up in Phoenix City. We heard something big happened there recently, so we came to see what it was all about."
Huo Wushuang was speechless. "What big event are you two looking for?"
"Didn't we hear that His Majesty the Emperor is fighting the Asura God from the God Realm? We want to see where they're fighting."
Huo Wushuang was even more speechless. Their father had just fought a major battle in the Douluo Federation and left, and now these two little devils are here again. They know how much trouble they'll cause him.
However, when Huo Wushuang glanced at the countless documents on the workbench, an idea suddenly came to him.
"Lanfang, Mingxu, didn't you two recently say you were going to leave the Elemental Academy for training? Why don't you two just come and train in our Administrative Department? It would be good for your future conduct and also increase your understanding of the whole country."
"But, Uncle, we're still young, how can we train in your Administrative Department? Isn't it said that the Douluo Federation government has very strict requirements for the ranks of officials? Wouldn't that be against the rules?"
Huo Wushuang quickly assured them, "Don't worry, it will absolutely comply with the laws of the Douluo Alliance."
At the same time, Huo Wushuang thought to himself: Others might have laws to follow, but how can the laws of the Douluo Alliance govern you two little guys? If people knew that you two little guys were in my Administrative Department, wouldn't my Administrative Department be able to do whatever it wanted?
In a very short time, Wang Lanfang and Wang Mingxu became the assistant ministers of the Administrative Department, that is, Huo Wushuang's little followers.
Furthermore, Huo Wushuang assigned a large portion of the documents on the desk to the two of them, claiming it was to train their work abilities. Dai Yutian and the other vice ministers watched in astonishment. When did the assistant minister of the administrative department gain such power? They could even handle administrative affairs independently.
Dai Yutian, looking puzzled, said to Huo Wushuang, "Minister, isn't it a bit inappropriate to assign two children to handle administrative affairs? They lack experience. I'm worried they might cause trouble."
"What trouble could they cause? Don't worry, these two kids will handle everything. If they really can't handle it, then I'll handle it."
"But if it causes a bad impression, we'll be laughed at by other departments."
Huo Wushuang scoffed, "What are you afraid of? With these two brats here, which department dares to laugh at us?"
Dai Yutian, having been an emperor before, instantly understood: "Minister, who exactly are these two kids? Do they have such influence?"
"There's no such thing as influence. The entire Douluo Federation belongs to them. What problems could they possibly have?"
Hearing this, Dai Yutian immediately understood the children's background. But was it appropriate for his minister to order these two kids around like this?
Before he could think further, Huo Wushuang continued: "Go and inform the heads of the other departments that these two kids are now my assistants. They'll know what to do."
Dai Yutian was speechless. His minister, who had been a complete novice when he first took office, had become a seasoned veteran in just 20 years, and his methods were particularly treacherous. He wondered who he had learned them from.
Meanwhile, Wang Xiaofei continued to comprehend the power of the Asura God and the aura of slaughter. Logically speaking, the entire Douluo world, and even the entire God Realm, was formed from the primordial power of destruction and creation. All other powers should simply be extensions of these two forces.
The power of Asura should logically be formed from the power of destruction, but something seems off.
In the realm of gods, the God of Destruction and the God of Life are a married couple, possessing extremely opposite abilities. How could they be husband and wife.
At this moment, Wang Xiaofei couldn't help but recall a saying from his past life: "Born in destruction, perishing in destruction."
According to this meaning, the most primal life is born from endless destruction, and similarly, the end of life is destruction.
Life and destruction are thus interdependent, mutually reliant, cultivating together, and becoming stronger together.
No wonder the God of Life and the God of Destruction are both supreme god-kings; their strength is indeed formidable.
The power of Asura and the divine artifacts do indeed contain a trace of destructive energy. Without the energy of life to interact with and study, it's impossible to break through to a higher realm.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaofei couldn't help but recall Ah Yin's fate in the original story.
In the original novel, Ah Yin, to care for Tang Wulin, whom Tang San sent to Douluo Star, and to concentrate her efforts on restoring the entire Douluo Star from collapse due to excessive human exploitation, while also plotting to annex the Abyss Plane, helped Tang Hao become the ruler of the Douluo Star Plane. Ah Yin then merged into the Golden Ancient Tree of Shrek Academy, becoming the life core of the plane.
Since Douluo Star could develop so powerfully, it must possess both life force and destructive force. However, no matter how Wang Xiaofei searched, he couldn't seem to find these two forces within its core.
Judging from the current situation, the key to these two forces lies in the Golden Ancient Tree. The Golden Ancient Tree is the natural core of the entire Douluo Star, originally a life-giving ancient tree capable of nourishing life.
It can be said that the Golden Ancient Tree is the core of the entire Douluo Star. Given the current distribution of life on Douluo Star, the ancient tree could only exist in one place—the Star Dou Great Forest.
But in the original novel, how did the Golden Ancient Tree end up in Shrek Academy's hands? Even if it existed, it should have been in the hands of the Silver Dragon King. What is the connection between these two?
According to the development of the Golden Ancient Tree in the original novel, it was clearly a scheme by Tang San's family. It was precisely because Ah Yin merged with the Golden Ancient Tree that she became the Heart of Nature of Douluo Continent, ultimately leading to Douluo Continent becoming Tang Family Continent.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaofei left the Elemental Academy again.
