Tang Wulin's expression stiffened slightly upon hearing this. ”Are you saying that all five major families played a role in plotting against Shrek Academy?”

Mo Lan shook her head in response. ”No, I'm not going as far as to say that. I don't know exactly which sides contributed to the Shrek Academy bombing, but it's undoubtedly the case that the powerful Shrek Academy had been a restrictive force on all powers, including sects, families, and other organizations. It was only as a result of their influence that the continent was peaceful for so many years. Do you think the Eagle Faction has only recently been proposing war against the Star Luo Empire? Countless people have been supporting a war even prior to the founding of the federation, and it was only through the constant intervention and mediation from Shrek Academy that a war didn't eventuate.

”However, war is virtually unavoidable now, and its something that we can't stop no matter how hard we try, and that's exactly because we've lost the almighty pillar that was Shrek Academy. Do you think anyone would wish to see a new Shrek Academy emerge under these circ.u.mstances? It's impossible. If you revive Shrek Academy, you'll be facing all five major families, the Spirit PaG.o.da, and the Holy Spirit Cult, any one of which is enough to crush you into nothingness. It's just too difficult.

”I understand what you're thinking and feeling. As the current leader of Shrek's Seven Monsters, it's your duty and responsibility to revive Shrek Academy, but can you at least promise me that you won't do anything reckless before you acc.u.mulate a vast amount of power? I've lost too many loved ones and people who are close to me; I don't want you to follow in their footsteps!”

Tears began to well up in Mo Lan's eyes again as she spoke.

Tang Wulin had always known that reviving Shrek Academy would be an extremely difficult task, but he didn't think that it would be this difficult.

It was just as Mo Lan had said; if he wanted to rebuild Shrek Academy, then he'd be facing opposition from all of the major powers on the entire Douluo Continent. None of those powers wanted to see Shrek Academy make a resurgence, and that was the main issue that he had to face.

However, was he supposed to give up just because it was difficult? As the leader of Shrek's Seven Monsters, he had to do this no matter what. However, Mo Lan's words had at least given him a much-needed reality check, warning him against doing anything reckless before he had made ample preparations.

Even if the federation were to wage war against the Dou Spirit Empire and the Star Luo Empire, it would not be a suitable opportunity for him to reveal the fact that he was reviving Shrek Academy; he still had to do things in the shadows.

”Don't worry, Sister, I won't do anything rash until I have absolute confidence in my own abilities, and I'll be sure to grow and develop at an even faster rate.” Tang Wulin held onto Mo Lan's hands, and his heart throbbed with pain at the sight of her teary eyes.

Mo Lan had once had a happy family, yet she was now all alone.

He had to restructure his thought process, and it was also imperative for him to acc.u.mulate power in the shadows. Only after receiving sufficient support would be he able to create a stable foothold for Shrek Academy following its revival.

Tang Wulin then inquired Mo Lan about the current political situation on the continent, particularly about the military's current plans to instigate wars.

Mo Lan had quite an extensive understanding of the military's current plans, and she knew that troops were being mobilized toward the Northsea Legion base and the Eastsea Legion base.

It was undoubtedly the case that the Douluo Federation was the most advanced among the three continents when it came to soul weapon development, and as soul technology had progressively improved over the years, modern wars were no longer affairs that could be decided based on who had the most number of troops. At the same time, the federation was also prioritizing the construction of giant battles.h.i.+ps. Soul fighter aircrafts could already be used in long-range battle, but an extremely long supply line had to be ensured in order to facilitate the invasion of another continent.
