His expression fell slightly as he spoke, and he continued, ”Truth be told, only after we sensed the aura of the Son of Nature from your body did we truly believe that Shrek Academy had been destroyed. The last Child of Nature was none other than the ancient Golden Tree in Shrek Academy, and its existence has been supporting the entire natural world. I can only imagine that it must've already been destroyed.”

Tang Wulin was completely stunned to hear this. It was just as the Beautiful Silk Tulip had said, the Golden Tree had already been destroyed, and he had become the Son of Nature with the a.s.sistance of the ancient Golden Tree. As such, he had actually already become the Son of Nature prior to the Golden Tree's destruction!

Why had nature been damaged to such a severe extent? Humans were undoubtedly responsible for this. As a member of the human race himself, the thought left a very bad taste in Tang Wulin's mouth.

”What will happen if the seed of nature doesn't get to grow and flourish?” Zang Xin suddenly asked.

The Beautiful Silk Tulip's expression changed slightly, and he explained, ”Nature will be destroyed, and the widespread destruction will follow. All living beings will slowly perish due to the fact that a huge chunk of the food chain is missing, and the Douluo Continent will fall into ruin. All living beings will slowly become extinct.”

This was a very grim description, and all of the members of Shrek's Seven Monsters were stunned to hear this. Thinking back to the current situation on the continent, soul beasts were already on the brink of extinction. Human technology was advancing at a rapid rate, and almost every single major city had transformed into forests of iron and steel. The habitats of all other living beings had been encroached upon to an extreme extent. If all forests were to disappear from the continent one day, would this world continue to be an inhabitable place?

No one could provide an answer to this, and the Beautiful Silk Tulip seemed to be a little too severe and pessimistic, but in reality, things really did seem to be trending toward that direction! The gradual extinction of all living beings was perfectly evidenced by soul beasts.

Tang Wulin asked, ”What should I do as the Son of Nature?”

The Beautiful Silk Tulip shook his head with a blank look on his face. ”Ever since we've been born here, all of the information we know about the Child of Nature has been embedded into our DNA, so this is all the information that we have. I don't know what you should do as the Son of Nature, but what I can be sure of is that all of us plants will help you and protect you. All of us hope to see you become stronger so you can restore the vitality of nature one day.”

Tang Wulin nodded in response. An additional burden had been placed onto his shoulders.

An expectant look appeared on the Beautiful Silk Tulip's face. ”So what's your choice?”

Tang Wulin was silent for a moment before replying, ”Seeing as you're all willing to help me, can you all leave this place with me? I don't need any of you as my soul spirit; you'll only be my companions, will that be possible?”

All six of these Great Beasts were beings who were at least comparable to t.i.tled Douluos, and even without suits of battle armor, they were most definitely still all extremely powerful beings. With their a.s.sistance, it would undoubtedly be much easier to rebuild Shrek Academy in the future.

The Beautiful Silk Tulip faltered slightly before a wry smile appeared on his face. ”That won't be possible. We're different from normal plant system soul beasts as all of our powers have been inflated by the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, and our actual ages are only a tenth of our current age. Hence, if we were to leave the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, then we'd steadily become weaker, and our lifespans will be significantly shortened. It won't be long before we'll be afflicted by heavenly tribulations and destroyed. When that time comes, even if we become your soul spirit, the caliber of the soul spirit will be far inferior. Hence, unless you can fuse all of us as soul spirits at once, there's no way that we can all leave with you.”

Tang Wulin's heart stirred upon hearing this, and he said, ”I may not be enough on my own, but I have all of my friends here; they can also fuse soul spirits! Oh, sorry, I'm being too selfish here...”

A remorseful look suddenly appeared on Tang Wulin's face as he realized what he was asking.

If all of these Great Beasts were to become their soul spirits, then if something were to happen to them in the near future, these Great Beasts would have to perish alongside them.

However, the Beautiful Silk Tulip faltered slightly before turning to the other five Great Beasts with a contemplative look on his face.
