Douluo Dalu 3: Purple-Gold Dragon God

"The Evil God isn't dead. She's been imprisoned inside your black hole world," the Evil God's Blade spoke as it floated from Gu You's hand. "As for the souls of those people you asked about, I can assure you — it wasn't the Lord God who did that."

"Then who was it?"

Gu You's heart turned heavy with suspicion. The answer wasn't clear, and he couldn't confirm anything for sure.

"The Master of the Plane…"

With those final words, the Evil God's Blade completely lost its sentience and clattered to the ground.

Gu You bent down and picked it up. He gazed up at the sky, raising the sword to point directly at the heavens.

"Tang Hao, you and I will clash one day!"

There were still so many riddles, so many unknown truths, waiting for Gu You to uncover — like what exactly had happened to Yuezi now, and whether the little girl Qianyu's soul still existed somewhere.

In the end, all these unanswered questions would surely unravel with time…

With the sword on his back, Gu You turned and left.

Not long after, a heavy snowfall began, blanketing all traces of battle and restoring the land to its original, untouched state.

Even though the Evil God's Blade was a divine weapon, Gu You knew he had to make proper use of it. Even without the Evil God's divine mark, a sleeping divine weapon was still his to command — though its power had greatly diminished, dropping to the level of a quasi-divine weapon.

On his way back, Gu You idly played with the blade, sending out hundreds of sword energy strikes formed purely from his soul power, slicing down heaps of snow mounds.

By the time he'd tired himself out, Gu You let out a carefree laugh. He was like a war god covered in scars, but he didn't feel pain at all.

Three years later.

Time flew by.

After returning to Donghai City, Gu You had rented a small dorm and spent three full years in seclusion, breaking through to the sixty-second rank — Soul Emperor level.

He also unlocked the second seal of the Dragon God, gaining the Purple-Gold Dragon God Halberd, a top-tier divine weapon that surpassed even two god rings.

As for the Evil God's Blade? It had been left to gather dust inside his soul guide ring — after all, when you had something better, who would keep using the weaker one?

"Three years… where on earth did you go?"

On a soul train bound for Shrek City, Gu Yue sat quietly by the window, her gaze slightly downcast with a trace of loss.

Three years ago, after Gu You withdrew from the Tianhai Alliance Tournament, she thought they would meet again soon. But unexpectedly, three years had slipped by.

"Gu Yue-jie, are you thinking about Gu You?" Xu Xiaoyan asked, noticing how strangely quiet Gu Yue had been lately. Wasn't she supposed to dislike Gu You?

Gu Yue shook her head naturally, resting quietly against the train window as she slowly drifted to sleep.

Even though Ditian had tried to investigate, all she knew was that Gu You had gone to the Extreme North.

She didn't know exactly why — but whatever it was, it definitely wasn't something simple.

The soul train sped on, gradually quieting down.

In the second-class seats, the students of Class Zero, who were now taller and more mature, found the space feeling a bit cramped.

The scenery outside changed rapidly, and inside the carriage, the breathing of the passengers became calm and even as many of them drifted off to sleep.

At that very moment, Gu You emerged from seclusion, setting off on his journey!

As for where the road ahead would take him — well, it could only be walked one step at a time, one big bite after another…

Gu You was riding on a later train, slower than the Class Zero students departing from Donghai City.

The distance from Donghai City to Shrek City was actually closer than traveling to Tiandou City.

As the train entered Shrek City's range, the speed began to slow.

"Dear passengers, we have now arrived in the number one city — Shrek City. Shrek City boasts a long history and rich culture. It is home to the continent's top academy, Shrek Academy, and also the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda."

"Shrek City is the federation's number one city, holding significant political and economic importance."

"If you look outside the train windows, you'll see the tallest tower — that's the Spirit Pagoda. And that massive ancient tree you see is the Golden Ancient Tree."

Gu You glanced out.

The very top of the Spirit Pagoda was shrouded in clouds, half-hidden from view. The tower was the tallest building, and according to federal law, no construction was allowed to surpass it — a sign of respect toward the Spirit Pagoda.

Today, the Spirit Pagoda was indisputably the number one organization on the continent, having fully replaced the once-glorious Tang Sect.

Thanks to the existence of artificial spirit souls, the Spirit Pagoda had gathered the best researchers, powerful experts, and a wealth that rivaled nations.

Within the federal parliament, seven seats belonged to the Spirit Pagoda. To put that into perspective — the entire federal parliament only had 108 seats in total.

And that didn't even account for the additional parliament members under the Tower's influence.

After entering Shrek City, the train ran for another full hour before pulling into the station.

The Shrek headquarters station was enormous, easily ten times larger than the regular station in Donghai City.

Its grand dome, ancient architectural style, and stone carvings everywhere all displayed the city's profound heritage.

Among all the cities in the federation, only the federal capital, Mingdu, could compare.

It wasn't quite time yet for Shrek Academy's enrollment — there were still a few days to go.

Gu You didn't plan to seek out Gu Yue and the others immediately.

He figured he'd enjoy a few good meals first, then head straight to Shrek Academy to find them — no need to go through the extra trouble.

Enrollment day arrived.

Massive city walls stood tall, exuding an ancient, majestic aura. From a distance, they looked like a giant coiled dragon.

There were no fancy decorations, no plaques with bold lettering — just the stark, imposing wall.

For the first time, Gu You carefully observed the legendary site known across the Douluo Continent.

At this moment, huge crowds had gathered outside the enormous gates. The air buzzed with excitement, the crowd lively and dense.

Of course, Gu You wasn't about to walk through the front gate. With a single mighty leap, he slipped directly into the Shrek inner city.

Shrek Academy was also called the Shrek Inner City. It was the original, oldest part of Shrek City. When the city expanded, the entire area had been designated solely for academy use.

In fact, the entire Shrek City was managed by the academy.

It served not only as the learning center for students but also as the political and cultural core of the city.

Only those acknowledged by the academy were allowed to move freely in and out.

Following familiar memories, Gu You returned once more to the Spirit Ice Plaza.

He had deep impressions of this place.

The Spirit Ice Plaza was the closest spot to the outer court's main teaching building. It was the central plaza of the outer court, built over a thousand years ago when the academy officially took over the area.

Turning toward the towering circular building nearby, Gu You walked forward.

As he drew near, statues began to appear one by one — each representing disciples who had risen from the outer court to the inner court, forever commemorated and standing as witnesses to Shrek Academy's long history.

The grand building stood tall, each floor at least twenty meters high, with twelve floors in total. Murals adorned the walls, and even the ceiling gleamed with intricate designs.

Although dazzling in its golden brilliance, the place carried a faint air of playful arrogance — after all, these were legends and tales from two thousand years ago, histories that now felt almost like elaborate jokes.

Sneaking inside without hesitation, Gu You wasn't worried about being detected by Shrek's top experts.

His current spiritual power had already reached the Spirit Domain realm.

With his terrifying twenty thousand spirit power, who below the rank of Soul Douluo could possibly rival him?
