"Devil Island?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Luochuan was momentarily stunned before his eyes lit up.
If the term "Seven Saints Abyss" had left him with no impression, then "Devil Island" was something he remembered vividly.
After all, this was a place where Wu Lin had undergone training in the original story, and without a doubt, the island lived up to its fearsome reputation.
Who would have thought that this would be the location for his own assessment? And what a stroke of luck...
The origins of Devil Island could be traced back a thousand years, to a time when the Divine Realm still existed. The divine power of the two great God Kings—Destruction and Life—descended upon the Douluo Continent.
While the power of Life might have been gentle, the power of Destruction was brutal. The convergence of these two immense divine forces posed a tremendous threat to the Douluo Plane, which had yet to advance.
Fortunately, they landed in the ocean, sparing humanity from large-scale casualties. However, the small island engulfed by the power of Destruction instantly became a forbidden land—hence the name Devil Island.
A generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters, while passing through that area, unfortunately fell victim to the lingering effects of the Destruction energy. Their personalities underwent drastic changes, transforming them into the Seven Old Devils, forever bound to Devil Island.
The good news was that they grew stronger, even gaining immortality and reaching the pinnacle of power on the continent. The bad news, however...
A change in temperament was a minor issue, but when they became neither human nor ghost, truly becoming the Seven Old Devils, everything changed completely.
"Devil Island?"
"Teacher, are you referring to that forbidden land shrouded in misfortune, located in the northern sea?"
Beside him, Na'er seemed to recall something as well, her small face thoughtful as she spoke up.
Clearly, she had her own understanding of this place.
"Correct, that very Devil Island."
"Once you arrive at Devil Island, your task will be to survive there for two months. At the same time..."
"See if you can seize any opportunities for yourselves."
Yun Ming continued speaking slowly.
Two months—that was the duration he had once spent on Devil Island, already considered an exceptional feat. But in his eyes, this would pose no difficulty for the two before him.
Thus, this aspect was insignificant. What truly mattered, and what he wished to see, was whether the two could uncover other opportunities there.
After all, though Devil Island was a forbidden land, it was undeniably a place where true divine power had once manifested.
Moreover, it was recorded in Shrek Academy's archives concerning deities—specifically, the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life. Though, according to Ancestor Tang San, these two were cruel and merciless, it was evident...
As long as it was divine power, it would be an overwhelming advantage for Soul Masters. Whether it was cruel or not was another matter entirely—given the current circumstances, having access to divine power was already a blessing.
With the talents of Tang Luochuan and the others, they might just stumble upon some opportunities there. What if they gained some assistance from divine power, or even accidentally triggered a divine inheritance...
That would be an immense reward.
By then, having comprehended divine power, the two might even bring prosperity to the entire Douluo Continent.
"Teacher."
"I want to go to Devil Island too—with Brother Luo Chuan and Sister Gu Yue."
At this moment, Na'er obediently raised her hand and spoke earnestly.
Since Brother Luo Chuan and Sister Gu Yue are both going, what reason does she have to stay behind? Of course, the family should go together.
"Hmm?"
"Na'er, you..."
Hearing this, Yun Ming was momentarily stunned, while Ya Li, standing nearby, wore a look of concern. That Devil Island was far from a good place.
If Na'er could gain something there, it would be fine. But if not, the result of enduring its illusions might be the same as for most who had been there—like Cai Yue'er and Zhuo Shi, powerful as they were, who had returned after less than a month on Devil Island, only to carry lifelong psychological scars.
"If Na'er wants to go, then accompany Luo Chuan and Gu Yue. Over the next three days, prepare yourselves. When the time comes, I will personally take you there."
After a moment, Yun Ming also agreed. Even Ya Li hadn't expected him to consent this time.
He couldn't just shield Na'er endlessly. In a place where danger and opportunity coexisted, if Luo Chuan and Gu Yue could go, why not Na'er?
After all, Tang Luochuan was currently at level 56, Gu Yue was also at 56, and Na'er was at 55—just a tiny bit behind the other two. There was hardly any difference.
"Yes, Sect Master."
Tang Luochuan had no objections to the arrangement and nodded immediately. Whether Gu Yue and Na'er went or not didn't matter much, because...
It wouldn't affect him reaping great benefits either way.
"Sect Master, we'll take our leave now."
Now that Yun Ming's decision was clear, Tang Luochuan saw no reason to linger. He promptly left with Gu Yue and Na'er.
Outwardly, he appeared utterly calm, but inwardly, he was brimming with excitement—yes, excitement.
Devil Island! True to its name, it was undoubtedly a place of devils. To others, it might be a living hell, especially given the potential oppression there.
But to him, none of that mattered. Even if he were targeted by those seven old geezers, he wouldn't mind summoning the Nine Dragon Kings for a little... snack.
Devil Island? More like Angel Island, bringing him nothing but benefits.
Moreover, the thought of the last remnants of the Destruction God King and Life God King's divine power being there filled him with anticipation. He could already envision it...
Given the system's usual efficiency, it might even drop the legacies of the two God Kings. And then, he could begin his God King cultivation plan.
"Luo Chuan, Na'er."
"What do you two think of Devil Island?"
On the way back, Gu Yue, still somewhat puzzled, asked the question. At this moment, if anyone was most in the dark, it was her—the Silver Dragon King.
She couldn't even claim to know little about Devil Island; she knew absolutely nothing! For the mighty Silver Dragon King, this was a rare defeat.
"Devil Island..."
"I've heard a bit from the Elders of the Inner Court before. It's a very mysterious place. Brother Luo Chuan, Sister Gu Yue, we must be extremely cautious when we go there."
Na'er spoke with a serious expression, enunciating each word clearly. She had once found the name amusing and had looked into it more, never expecting they would actually be going to that place this time.
"Alright."
"What about Luo Chuan?"
Gu Yue nodded before pressing further.
"Soldiers can be blocked, floods can be dammed."
"I don't know much about it either, but I believe our journey will go smoothly."
Tang Luochuan shook his head with a faint smile. When dealing with the devils of Devil Island, there really wasn't much to pay attention to, nor any need to think about communication—after all, they were essentially a bunch of crazy dead people.
Their mental states were... severely problematic.
"I see."
"Brother Luo Chuan doesn't seem to feel any danger at all."
Noticing Tang Luochuan's confident smile, Na'er found herself deeply drawn to it and said with a giggle.
Brother Luo Chuan was already incredibly handsome normally, but this confident demeanor right now was especially captivating...
"Danger? What danger could there be?"
"And even if there is danger, I imagine when the time comes, my real concern won't be for myself, but for the two of you."
Tang Luochuan smiled faintly, pulling both of them into his arms in one swift motion, startling the two who hadn't seen it coming.
"Have you ever heard the saying..."
"With your girlfriends by your side, victory is inevitable."
In the distance, Yun Ming watched Tang Luochuan, who showed not a trace of worry but instead looked completely at ease, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He nodded with a smile, murmuring praises.
But when he saw Tang Luochuan holding Gu Yue with his left arm and Na'er with his right, his expression finally cracked.
"This kid is unbelievable..."
"Absolutely unbelievable!"
