In the next few days, besides training and cultivating on the Sea God Island. Tang Wulin has been practicing his spearmanship and diving deeper into his Destruction Bloodline, becoming even more familiar with it.
Tang Wulin along Wu Siduo and all of their friends were making their way to one of the libraries on Shrek Academy.
This was the place where Wu Siduo's mother was, as she seems to be scouring the whole library for knowledge.
"I wonder how your mother is." Said Xie Xie causing Tang Wulin lips to twitch.
"You will see soon enough." Said Wu Siduo as she slightly lowered her head, while preparing for her mother's antics.
It was something she wasn't looking forward to, even though she long to see her.
It didn't take them long to reach the library, with them easily entering through the front door and going to the main section.
Wu Siduo quickly spread out her spiritual sense before finding her mother's signature.
In a matter of seconds, they found Wu Yiyi, who turned around with her eyes were shining brightly.
In an instant, Wu Siduo was dragged into a hug, with Wu Yiyi rubbing her cheek together with hers.
"My beautiful girl is here!"
"Let go!" Shouted Wu Siduo as she felt everything from her neck and upwards turning red from embarrassment.
But sadly, her mother acted as if she didn't hear what she said and continued holding Wu Siduo.
This caused her to glance at Tang Wulin with a pleading gaze.
'Fine, I will help.' Thought Tang Wulin with an inward sigh.
"Do you find any more new texts?" Questioned Tang Wulin causing Wu Yiyi to stop cuddling her daughter and turn toward Tang Wulin.
"Wulin! Sorry, I haven't, but I did bring something even better."Said Wu Yiyi as she let go of her daughter, who exhales with relief.
"Oh? Are these your friends?"Questioned Wu Yiyi towards Wu Siduo causing her to nod her head.
"Welcome! I wanted to meet my little girl, and friends, for some time now, after hearing so much about you guys. Come sit down."Said Wu Yiyi as she pointed toward one of the open tables that were stacked with books.
Everyone followed behind her with Wu Yiyi moving her gaze over them as they all went to go sit down. More specifically, all of the girls except for Yuanen Yehui, Dai Yun'er, and Liu Yuxin.
'So these are the girls.' Thought Wu Yiyi as she headed towards the table.
As she was sitting down, a voice rang out causing all of them to shift their head.
"Who would have thought, you would be so incredible."
"Zhao Jiu, it has been a while." Said Tang Wulin with a faint smile as his spiritual sense already picked up on him.
"It sure has." Said Zhao Jiu with a chuckle as he moved to go sit down.
"Your Wu Yiyi friend." Said Tang Wulin causing Zhao Jiu to nod his head.
"She and I have been friends for years now. The place where we met, the Everglades was a place she wanted me to check out, after hearing so much about it."Said Zhao Jiu causing Tang Wulin to nod his head.
"You guys really do know each other."Mutter Wu Yiyi in surprised, with her not being the only one.
Na'er and everyone else was curious about when did Tang Wulin become friends with Zhao Jiu, as this didn't seem recent.
"We met each other, a few years back at Everglade Mountain." Said Zhao Jiu causing everyone to glance at Tang Wulin.
"The mountain I went to, for my test."Said Tang Wulin causing all of them to nod their head.
"So what happened there?" Questioned Wu Yiyi.
Zhao Jiu chuckled before he began the story of his meeting with Tang Wulin, from meeting at the bottom of the mountain. To observe him fight Kirin, devouring Kirin Absolute Lighting and his transformation.
It was only after a while that Zhao Jiu was done telling his story that everyone sighed before smiling. While Gu Yue and Na'er found the transformation told in the story was similar to the one they saw in the Star Dou Forest.
"It was through this, that you both became friends." Said Wu Yiyi with a faint smile.
"Right..." Said Zhao Jiu with an awkward chuckle, slightly confusing Wu Yiyi.
The way he and Tang Wulin were parted wasn't that of friends, as Wulin only told him his name and then left.
'Well, it's not like he is denying we are friends.' Thought Zhao Jiu as Tang Wulin didn't refute his claim.
For the next few minutes, Wu Yiyi began asking everyone about Wu Siduo and how she has been doing. While this was going on, Tang Wulin and Zhao Jiu were talking to each other about the ancient texts.
This went on for a while before Xie Xie found a book, titled the Demon King, and gasp after reading a few pages.
"Boss, they really wrote you down in history." Mutter Xie Xie but sadly for him, the library was a quiet place.
Making it so, his muttering was heard by everyone, including Wu Yiyi and Zhao Jiu.
"What do you mean?" Questioned Wu Yiyi as she moved her gaze to Xie Xie.
"Huh?" Questioned Xie Xie.
"What do you mean, they wrote Wulin down in history?" Questioned Zhao Jiu causing Xie Xie to chuckle.
Although this one was a nervous chuckle, as he knew he messed up. He glances at Wulin and saw he didn't seem to care as he was reading a text.
'Captain!' Thought Xie Xie before sighing inwardly, as he began to open his mouth, a voice, rang out behind him.
"So you were the Demon King." Said Yun Ming as he hovered behind Xie Xie, causing Xie Xie to jump.
Yet Yun Ming quickly steps back, so as to not get hit by Xie Xie's head, as he saw the boy fall from his chair.
"You just put the pieces together now?" Questioned Tang Wulin as he kept skimming through the pages, with his eyes still on the text.
"I had a faint idea, as the story you told me was similar to the one in history. I wanted to go back and read about it, but the library didn't have any text on the Primordial Era."Said Yun Ming causing Tang Wulin to nod his head.
"Texts like these are rare." Said Yun Ming as he grasps the text on the table before flipping through a few pages.
"Master, Wulin told you? Wait, was that why you believed him when he told you about the calamity?"Questioned Na'er in surprise, alongside everyone but Wu Yiyi and Zhao Jiu.
"More or less." Said Yun Ming with a sigh.
"Excuse me but can someone tell me what's going on? From what I understand, you all believe Tang Wulin is the Demon King from the Primordial Era."Said Zhao Jiu as he glances all around.
"Honey?" Questioned Wu Yiyi as she glances at Wu Siduo, who awkwardly shifted in her seat.
"Well, you see-"
"That's because I'm the Demon King founded in these texts." Said Tang Wulin, interrupting Xie Xie and shocking the two people in front of him.
"You are the Demon King...But how!" Shouted Zhao Jiu in shock, as quickly stand up with the chair being pushed back.
"I was sent back in time." Said Tang Wulin causing Zhao Jiu and Wu Yiyi to be even more shocked.
Everyone else didn't say anything, as they knew how shocking the words that Tang Wulin was saying were but were a bit surprised he said it out loud.
Especially to these two, who have been studying and learning about history for so many years.
"...Is that why you were missing for that year and a half?"Questioned Wu Yiyi after a bit of thinking, as she recalls her daughter's letters.
"Yes." Said Tang Wulin causing them to fall silent.
'Mom.' Thought Wu Siduo as she saw her mom furrowing her brow, trying to come to terms with everything.
It wasn't that she didn't want to tell her mom about this; it was just that she had no real proof to give her.
It was only after a few minutes that, Wu Yiyi's voice rang out with excitement.
"That is amazing! Can you tell me about how the Primordial Era was?"Asked Wu Yiyi as she quickly moved towards Tang Wulin, with her eyes shining with vigor.
"That was too quick!" Shouted Xie Xie in shock as he stared at the grinning Wu Yiyi who was staring down Tang Wulin.
"Some people recover fast I guess?" Mutter Yue Zhengyu with his lip twitching.
"Don't mind her, that's just her personality." Said Zhao Jiu with a sigh, as he knew it wouldn't have taken her long to come to terms.
From the countless number of ruins and dungeons, they explored, how could they not be shocked by what they discovered? Yet throughout all of these discoveries, Wu Yiyi was always the quickest and first to recover.
"Can you tell us what happened?" Asked Zhao Jiu, with Wu Yiyi nodding her too with her smile growing bigger.
"Xie Xie." Said Tang Wulin.
"Hm? Oh right, I got it, boss."Said Xie Xie before he began retelling the story that Tang Wulin told them.
Zhao Jiu and Wu Yiyi interrupted sometime, to ask about the different structures of the era or how did it look like.
This forced Tang Wulin to answer their questions throughout the story, making it longer than it was supposed to be.
"To think you would travel through time, free humanity, and then travel back. I'm slightly jealous."Said Zhao Jiu with a sigh, while shaking his head.
"You wanted to go back to that era?" Questioned Tang Wulin with a raised brow causing Zhao Jiu to chuckle.
"Not really, as from your words and the ancient text. It wasn't the greatest place to be. But it still doesn't take away from the fact, you experience the beauty of the Douluo Continent in its ancient days."Said Zhao Jiu with a sigh.
Would Soul Archeologist give up such a chance? The answer was no!
To them, the discovery of history was more important than anything else in the world. Of course, they weren't suicidal, but it was still a decision that would cause them to think deeply.
Wu Yiyi was writing down everything that she learned, with her eyes sparkling and her giggling. It wasn't wrong to say, she was the happiest she had ever been in years.
"So why are you here?" Questioned Tang Wulin to Yun Ming who began to close the book in his hand before moving his gaze to Tang Wulin.
"It's about your decision to go to Star Luo Empire."
