Wandering in the vast ocean of energy, Xiao Wu walked aimlessly. The halo bestowed by the holy pillar not only contained surging power, but also countless things that could not be described in words.

It seemed like an illusion, but also like reality. She was walking on a predetermined road, and all the forks were blocked by chains. She had no choice but to keep moving forward. She walked step by step, from the pure white and empty world into the forest, into the pool - the Titan Ape and the Azure Bull Python were watching her by the pool.

It was Daming and Erming. This jungle was her home, the Star Forest.

She saw the Spirit Hall's team of spirit masters coming to attack them. Under the joint efforts of Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo, Da Ming and Er Ming were tied up and roared angrily. She fell into an embrace, someone hugged her and fled deeper into the forest.

What happened? Xiao Wu wondered vaguely.

She wanted to speak, but couldn't, and her body was out of her control. Xiao Wu raised her head with great effort, but she saw a scene that made her eyes burst with anger - Tang San threw her into the air and used his body to bear the attacks of everyone.

His body was instantly covered by more than ten tragic lights, and his right leg completely turned into blood mist under the fierce attack. The Eight Spider Lance was shattered in an instant. Tang San inserted the fragments of the Eight Spider Lance into his heart, threw a blue leg bone at her, and said in a hoarse and broken voice: "Xiao Wu, soul bone skill flying, hurry up-"

His remaining body turned into a huge vine. The blue and red vines extended and spread out like giant wings, like an indestructible wall, blocking all the enemies behind him.

Xiao Wu's vision turned red with pain, and tears and blood flowed out of her eyes uncontrollably. Sorrow and anger filled her entire chest, and the terrifying desire for violence almost made her unable to control herself. She wanted to destroy all those who killed her lover, extract their bone marrow, and stick every bone beside the grave as a burial object and memorial.

A sharp wail emanated from her mouth, but she did not walk towards anyone else, but towards Tang San.

A blinding red light spread from her forehead, and everything around her was instantly dyed blood red. The flames burned her soul, and the pain tore every corner of her body. She chose to sacrifice herself, sacrificing everything she had to her dead lover, and using her life to exchange for his.

Before her consciousness completely disappeared, Xiao Wu saw Tang San's eyes open, full of pain and tears. She did not feel satisfied, but felt another kind of confusion and emptiness.

She was willing to sacrifice everything for her lover, including her life, and would continue to do so in the future. However, she felt unwilling to not personally kill the enemies who destroyed her lover.

Shikaya's voice seemed to echo in her mind again, vague and ethereal, as if it was just a fleeting image from a few years ago: "... before considering others, consider yourself first."

“Take great care of your life.”

Did she do it right, or did she do it wrong?

Xiao Wu didn’t know.

But then, the screen lit up again. This time, she saw Da Ming and Er Ming, who were dying.

Their sturdy and huge bodies had lost their strength, crawling on the ground, their pupils gradually lost their vitality and turned gray. She threw herself on them and cried bitterly, begging Tang San to find a way to save them, but to no avail. Poisoned by Bibi Dong, they were completely exhausted.

Just like Xiao Wu back then, blood-red flames rose from their bodies, burning their last bit of cultivation and bodies. In order to see Xiao Wu's resurrection with their own eyes, they sacrificed themselves to Tang San and turned into Tang San's spirit rings and spirit bones.

"No..." Tears rushed out of her eyes.

She finally understood. From the moment she made the choice, she had given up everything she had and handed all the choices to Tang San. From then on, she could no longer protect anyone.

"After you become a god at the 100th level, you will still be able to meet each other." A strange voice, as if coming from the depths of her soul, rang in her mind, "Sacrifice is not the end. Your lives will realize a higher level after death."

“Become a god… Become a god…” the voice said, “Once you become a god, everything will be fine.”

Xiao Wu began to tremble all over.

"No..." She gritted her teeth and shook her head. "Why should I try to make amends only after I have lost everything? Why can't I protect what I want to protect from the beginning? Why... do I have to rely on others to save my family instead of relying on myself?"

"I don't want to be like this. I don't want to see Daming and Erming become spirit rings." Tears welled up in her eyes again, and she cried out in a nearly collapsed voice, "I don't want to be like that. I don't want to become a god!"

"Xiao Wu? Xiao Wu——!"

Xiao Wu suddenly woke up. All the people in Shrek were standing beside her, looking at her worriedly. The person who just called her name was Ning Rongrong, who was closest to her.

"You scared us to death, what happened?" Ning Rongrong held her hand, "You were sweating a lot and suddenly yelled loudly, we thought something happened to you!"

It was already dark, and everyone was watching over Xiao Wu as she absorbed the energy from the Holy Pillar. Before they knew it, it was already night.

Xiao Wu subconsciously looked around, and only after seeing Lu Ye's figure not far away did she relax a little. Although she didn't see much in the dream just now, her subconscious made her sure that Lu Ye must not exist in that dream.

"Nothing." She shook her head. "Just a nightmare."

Tang San nervously stepped forward and used the Xuan Tian Gong to check her condition. He was relieved only after confirming that there was no problem with Xiao Wu's body, her meridians were flowing smoothly and her soul power was abundant.

The mood of the Shrek people also relaxed. Oscar teased: "Xiao Wu, you are really the first one. Who still dreams when breaking through the realm?"

Dai Mubai said: "There is no time to lose, show us your spirit ring."

This time, Xiao Wu obtained a black ten thousand year soul ring, and the age of this soul ring is the maximum limit she can bear. In addition to her martial soul, the Soft Bone Rabbit, she can also release clone skills, creating seven Xiao Wus, each of whom has seventy percent of the original body's soul power and can use all the original body's soul skills.

To be fair, the effect of this spirit ring is indeed quite good, and it is worthy of being called a "God-given" spirit ring.

Everyone at Shrek was filled with emotion. Not long ago they were still discussing when they could grow spirit rings on their bodies like Tang San, and today this wish really came true. It really was like words coming true.
