Other than these, the races that began to study the Earth suddenly realized that Wang Zhong was not the only outstanding Earthling in the Land.
"Not long ago, the Earth civilization was promoted to a quasi-level-5 civilization because Wang Zhong entered the Celestial Honors Class. In addition, there is a person named Aiolos who borrowed the power of the Titan Tsarilorhuan to become a rising star in the Arena. His individual strength and natural talent potential are top-notch. There is also a Netherworld River Emissary who claims to be from the Earth … "
"A race and a bloodline in the same era have produced three individuals with great potential. They are in different fields, but they have taken different paths of accumulating their Core. Based on this evaluation, the potential of the Earth civilization is actually quite terrifying. Its overall evaluation is temporarily A-class, and it is estimated that there is still a lot of room for improvement! I dare not say that they are the second Heavenly Shell Race, but their upper limit is estimated to be at least a level-6 or level-7 civilization. We need to be cautious. "
Information appeared in front of the leaders of the various races. It was rare for a quasi-level-5 civilization to receive so much attention from so many powerful forces in the Land in the entire history of the Star Alliance. However, at this time, all the races obviously understood that this was the attention that the Earthlings deserved. If they still treated them as an ordinary level-4 civilization that relied on connections, they would definitely suffer a huge loss in the future.
Some civilizations that had previously made things difficult for the Earth in the trade with the peripheral worlds instantly changed their attitudes and direction. Ma Dong was the one who could feel this the most. Even the Illusion Race, who had been secretive in their business with the Earth, had now started to be open and aboveboard. This was not only because Wang Zhong had won in the Life and Death Arena, but also because he had let Phumetheus live after the battle. This allowed the irreconcilable conflict between him and the Fire Demon Race to have some leeway. With sufficient strength and his ambiguous attitude, Wang Zhong had obviously become a person that both races wanted to rope in. At this time, if he chose to get close to the Earthlings, he would simply become another neutral party in the struggle between the two races. At least, he would be able to maintain a temporary peace.
After rejecting some friendly invitations from various parties, Lao Wang's life suddenly became peaceful. There was no revenge from the Fire Demon Race, nor any other disturbances. The pill house, library, dormitory, and elder classes at Furnace Mountain became Lao Wang's daily routine. He would enrich himself in peace. Right now, the two races' laissez-faire attitude towards him was only one of watching and waiting. This peace could be broken at any time by one of the impatient races. Before that happened, he would need to have more confidence in himself to face it.
Lao Wang had also benefited a lot from the battle with Phumetheus. After perfectly integrating his Draconic Aura, the second stage of his true form was his greatest trump card, and he could even rely on it to suppress Phumetheus.
In the eyes of others, this was probably an unimaginable limit that a Void Core could reach. However, Lao Wang felt that this was not enough. He could clearly sense the massive potential of the second form of his true form. In particular, his use of the Draconic Aura was too crude. He simply allowed his divine cells to replicate it, and it was completed automatically by his body's functions. However, he did not understand the mysteries of the Draconic Aura at all. If he didn't even understand it, how could he truly utilize it? It was only the most basic of instincts. The path that he had unintentionally chosen seemed to be very long …
"Your Highness Wang Zhong, a letter for you."
A well-behaved seabird messenger came to the door of the mushroom house and delivered a letter. It could be seen that although this messenger's grade was not high, it had received very strict training and paid great attention to etiquette. It was very respectful to Wang Zhong. At first glance, it was obvious that this was a standard messenger specially used by the major civilizations to conduct diplomacy. Not being of a high grade meant that they did not show off, and etiquette training was the foundation of communication.
There were many such messengers in the past. When the Life and Death Arena had just ended, the major civilizations had the intention to make friends with Wang Zhong. However, after a series of rejections, these messengers rarely came.
After receiving the letter, he suddenly saw the standard Ocean Empire Planet seal on the envelope.
It was actually a messenger from the Ocean Empire Planet civilization? Lao Wang was really a little surprised. After the incident on the Ocean Empire Planet, Lao Wang did not participate in the follow-up. Although the Ocean Empire Planet would definitely be grateful to him, they had already expressed their gratitude through the gifts that Superintendent Erza had sent. Other than that, he should have no relations with the Ocean Empire Planet civilization. Why did they suddenly send him a letter?
When he opened it, in addition to expressing his gratitude to Wang Zhong again, there was actually a small invitation for a private banquet.
Lao Wang smiled slightly. This was called arriving at the right time. Some time ago, there were a lot of banquet invitations from level-6 and level-7 civilizations. It was obvious that they wanted to get close to Wang Zhong and establish a friendship, but Lao Wang rejected all of them. Other than not wanting to get involved in the power struggle in the Land too early, a large part of the reason was that he was comprehending in seclusion after the war and did not want to be distracted. Now that his comprehension had reached a certain level, he did not mind going out to relax for a day or two. Moreover, Lao Wang felt that there was something special about the Ocean Empire Planet civilization. Perhaps it was the sense of foresight that appeared when he was accumulating his Void Core, or perhaps it was the improvement of his understanding of destiny when he was refining pills, but he always felt that there seemed to be an unusual and mysterious connection between the Ocean Empire Planet and himself.
"Let's go and take a look."
The agreed location was in the Machinery Palace. After all, not everyone could enter the Heavenly Gates, and the Machinery Palace was the closest base area to the Heavenly Gates. With Lao Wang's current identity, he only needed to apply in advance to use the Dimensional Gate. Other ordinary transmission arrays could really open a separate transmission array for him at any time. It was only around 10 in the morning when he received the letter, but before 11 o 'clock, Lao Wang had already appeared in the Machinery Palace.
He had been here once not long ago and even walked around for an entire day under Raven D's tour guide. Thus, he was considered familiar with this city. He rented an aircraft outside the transmission array and rushed to the Anoma Club, where he was greeted by a few people from the Ocean Empire Planet. The celestialoids looked rather handsome, but the green scales on their necks and arms were very conspicuous. At the same time, there were shallow hard horns on their heads.
Lao Wang was also surprised. The Ocean Empire Planet had left the Star Alliance, and logically speaking, they no longer had the qualifications to enter the Land. Furthermore, they had sealed off the entire Ocean Empire Planet two years ago. Why would the children of their race appear here?
"Your Highness Wang Zhong!" Several people from the Ocean Empire Planet greeted him with a smile. They were all Void Cores, but they were obviously not the seven Void Cores that Wang Zhong had seen on the Ocean Empire Planet previously. As for the young man in the middle, not only did he look exceptionally young and handsome, but his strength had also reached the Solid Core Realm.
The last time he was on the Ocean Empire Planet, he felt that this civilization was not simple. Even the superintendent had said something similar. At that time, only seven Void Cores had appeared on the Ocean Empire Planet, which was obviously not their true strength.
"Your Highness Wang Zhong, my name is Haiyeluo." The young Ocean Empire Planet person did not have the arrogance of a Solid Core expert at all. Of course, ordinary Solid Cores really did not dare to put on airs in front of Lao Wang. He smiled and extended his hand to Wang Zhong. "Fourth Prince of the Ocean Empire Planet civilization, Haiyeluo will remember the great kindness that Your Highness Wang Zhong has shown to our race. I am extremely grateful. This time, I have come on the orders of my father. I have also personally admired Your Highness Wang Zhong for a long time and have long been eager to meet Your Highness. It is a pity that the Ocean Empire Planet civilization is not qualified to enter the Heavenly Gates, so Haiyeluo could not go and visit you personally. He could only anxiously send a letter, which was really rude and made Haiyeluo feel terrified. Fortunately, Your Highness did not blame me and even graced me with your presence. Haiyeluo is ashamed and extremely grateful! "
Lao Wang did not care about such a small matter as who was going to meet whom. Furthermore, the other party spoke very sincerely, so he naturally laughed. "Your Highness Haiyeluo is too modest."
"How would a mere prince from a level-6 civilization dare to use the word 'Highness' in front of Your Highness Wang Zhong?" Haiyeluo laughed and said, "If Your Highness Wang Zhong doesn't mind, you can just call me by my name or call me Little Luo. That will make us more intimate."
The two of them talked as they walked into the clubhouse. The hall and banquet had already been prepared, and they sat down according to the host and guest.
A level-6 civilization? Lao Wang was a little suspicious. The last time he went to the Ocean Empire Planet, it was only a quasi-level-5 civilization, and it had already left the Star Alliance. How long had it been?
"Your Highness Wang Zhong might not know," Haiyeluo said with a smile. "Ever since the Star Alliance wiped out the snow for the Ocean Empire Planet, my father thought about the danger he was in and has resubmitted an application to return to the Star Alliance. The Heavenly Shell Race directly approved it, and the Machinery Race has also re-evaluated the Ocean Empire Planet civilization. This is a special case. Now, the Ocean Empire Planet has been upgraded to a level-6 civilization, and we have a seat in the Star Alliance Patriarch Conference. I heard from the superintendent that this was all thanks to Your Highness Wang Zhong's recommendation. After that, I heard that Your Highness Wang Zhong had a great victory against Phumetheus from the Fire Demon Race in the Heavenly Gates. At that time, my father wanted to send me to deliver congratulatory gifts and celebrate with Your Highness. Unfortunately, the procedures for returning to the Star Alliance had not been completed at that time, and we could not set foot on the Land. It was only until the day before yesterday, when the documents for returning to the Star Alliance were approved, and it took another day to restore the transmission array that I immediately set off. "
As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and a waiter, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately walked in with a roll of gifts woven from silk.
"Sea Emperor Randolph pays respect to Your Highness Wang Zhong in the Heavenly Gates. Congratulations to Your Highness Wang Zhong for winning the Heavenly Gates Life and Death Arena, defeating Phumetheus, and becoming a god in one battle. Gifts of 100,000 Gold Star Stones, two D-rank Machinery Race fortresses, 1,000 level-9 Vitality Supplement Pills, 1,000 level-9 Spirit Replenishment Pills, 1,000 level-9 Spirit Replenishment Pills …"
Even Lao Wang, who was used to seeing big scenes, could not help but be moved when he heard the long list of gifts. The last time the Ocean Empire Planet expressed their gratitude, they had only sent 10,000 Gold Star Stones, more than a hundred pills, and two D-rank Machinery Race fortresses. That was already considered quite extravagant among private gifts. But this time, the gifts were so generous that they had far exceeded the scope of private gifts. It was more like a diplomatic communication between the two civilizations.
Lao Wang also smiled slightly. As expected of the wealthy Ocean Empire Planet. Those level-6 and level-7 civilizations that wanted to rope him in could not compare to the generosity of the Ocean Empire Planet. If it was before, Lao Wang might still doubt the intention of the Ocean Empire Planet to send such a generous gift. But Haiyeluo had just revealed some information intentionally or unintentionally, and Lao Wang already knew that he had no qualms about accepting such a generous gift.
The Ocean Empire Planet chose to leave the Star Alliance. On the one hand, they had been suppressed by the Fire Demon Race for too long, and it was difficult to see the day when they could rise again. On the other hand, it was also because the Fire Demon Race and the Heavenly Shell Race's desire to fight for power was well-known. Other civilizations could choose a side in this kind of matter, but the Ocean Empire Planet could not. It was definitely impossible for them to ally with the Fire Demon Race, but they had never had any relationship with the Heavenly Shell Race. On the contrary, because the Ocean Empire Planet once seized the low-end pill market, they had also offended some middle-level figures of the Heavenly Shell Race. Therefore, they had no way to join the Heavenly Shell Race. As such, neither race could gain favor with them, and neither race could join them. In the end, the Ocean Empire Planet had no choice but to leave the Star Alliance.
But this time, because of their relationship with Wang Zhong, the Ocean Empire Planet had entered the sights of the Heavenly Shell Race, and they directly talked to the Heavenly Shell Superintendent. Only then did they find a way to join them. Without the oppression of the Fire Demon Race, and no longer entangled in the conflict between the two races, the Ocean Empire Planet was naturally happy to return. After that, with the wave of Superintendent Erza's hand, the Ocean Empire Planet returned to the Star Alliance and even rerated as a level-6 civilization.
This matter was obviously helped by the Heavenly Shell Superintendent. Lao Wang did not even know about it, but he deliberately told the Ocean Empire Planet civilization that it was Wang Zhong's recommendation. This was obviously a sign of goodwill from the Heavenly Shell Race to Wang Zhong, and it was probably to repair the rift that had appeared between the two sides because of the Life and Death Arena.
Not to mention Lao Wang, even the Ocean Empire Planet itself was quite clear about this. However, no one would point it out. The Ocean Empire Planet now belonged to the Heavenly Shell Race. If the Heavenly Shell Race wanted them to build a good relationship with Wang Zhong, they naturally had to do so. Moreover, the Ocean Empire Planet really respected and appreciated Wang Zhong. It was expected that the gift would be so generous.
"This gift is too generous."
"Not at all. In my opinion, it's still too light. The Ocean Empire Planet was able to return to the Star Alliance this time, even passed the level-6 civilization assessment, and was given special treatment by the Machinery Race. This is all thanks to His Highness Wang Zhong's recommendation. How can such a small gift express our gratitude? " Haiyeluo laughed heartily. After interacting with him for a while, he had left a pretty good impression on Wang Zhong. He was a rather straightforward and generous young man.
But the generous gift from the Ocean Empire Planet obviously did not stop there.
Just as Haiyeluo's voice fell, the lights in the banquet hall suddenly became soft, and strange music began to play. It was like waves crashing against the shore, and the sound of a conch shell. Just listening to the rhythm of the music made people feel like they could smell the salty sea breeze.
Haiyeluo smiled and stopped talking. A fairy-like mist rose, illuminating the banquet hall. In the mist that covered the ground, a graceful and slender figure slowly straightened her body like a fairy.
Haiyeluo leaned over and said softly with a smile, "His Highness Wang Zhong, this is the Sea Dragon Dance that I'm best at. Please enjoy it, Your Highness."
Little sister? The dancer in the mist was actually the princess of the Ocean Empire Planet.
To be able to make a princess from a level-6 civilization dance for him was something that the Earthlings of one or two months ago could not even imagine.
The dancer in the mist slowly wriggled along with the wave-like music. Her pink neck swayed slightly, and her shoulders trembled slightly. Waves of flexible wriggling were transmitted from the fingertips of her right hand to the fingertips of her left hand. The soft and charming feeling was fully displayed in the language of her body, and her boneless body appeared extremely gentle and charming in the mist …
Not to mention an ascetic monk like Lao Wang, who only knew how to cultivate, such a graceful dance was rare even among the 'knowledgeable' young masters from the advanced civilizations in the Land who were obsessed with pleasure. Lao Wang could not help but be fascinated by it.
After the dance ended, the Sea Dragon Princess bowed slightly to Wang Zhong. At this time, the mist gradually dissipated, and Lao Wang could see her appearance clearly. Her natural charm and extremely exquisite facial features were comparable to Celeste's. It was said that the Sea Girls were affectionate and gentle, and they were the best among the thousands of races. Now that he had seen them, he could only sigh that their reputation was well-deserved.
"Greetings, Your Highness Wang Zhong." The Sea Dragon Princess bowed.
"What a wonderful dance. Thank you for your trouble, Princess." Wang Zhong smiled and returned the greeting. His eyes were no longer in a trance, but clear and pure.
Next to him, Haiyeluo could see it clearly, and he was also slightly impressed in his heart. Father originally had the intention of matchmaking his little sister and Wang Zhong. As long as Wang Zhong showed a little willingness, the Ocean Empire Planet would definitely fully cooperate. After all, Wang Zhong was a popular person in the Heavenly Gates, and even the Earth was evaluated to have extremely high potential. His future achievements were limitless, and the Ocean Empire Planet would definitely not suffer a loss by making friends with him. It was also a long-term investment.
It was a pity that this man was indeed an influential figure who could stir up the Heavenly Gates. How could it be so easy?
The Sea Dragon Princess bowed. According to the tradition of the Ocean Empire Planet, with her brother by her side, she did not have the right to speak casually on such occasions. She just sat down casually on the side and looked at Wang Zhong with strong interest and curiosity. This man's eyes were quite clean and pure. Few men could remain so calm after seeing her and her dance.
Although Prince Haiyeluo looked young, he was quite good at socializing. He spoke in a measured manner, and he would not let the scene become awkward. The banquet was served with the specialties of the Ocean Empire Planet. It was said that the ingredients were brought directly from the Ocean Empire Planet, but the Anoma Club's Star Domain Chef was invited to cook them. There was no lack of seafood such as fish and shrimp. In Lao Wang's opinion, this was considered a member of the Ocean Empire Planet.
Prince Haiyeluo was not afraid and laughed. He intentionally looked at his little sister next to him, wanting her to say a few more words to Wang Zhong.
The Sea Dragon Princess smiled and said, "Your Highness Wang Zhong might not know this, but there are many misunderstandings about the Sea Race. The Sea Race only lives in the sea. Perhaps some races have evolved organs that are similar to fish and shrimps due to living in the sea for a long time. However, that is only natural evolution and not the fish and shrimps that common sense understands. Just like on Earth, Your Highness Wang Zhong's hometown, Earthlings and strange beasts live together on land, but don't Your Highness's people also eat them? The relationship between the Sea Race and those fish and strange beasts is the same. It is not only the Ocean Empire Planet civilization, but most of the Sea Race that joined the Star Alliance are like this. They do not avoid eating fish from the sea, but rather like it. There are only a few exceptions. "
The Sea Dragon Princess's voice was light and crisp. It was very pleasant to listen to, and people could not help but think of her graceful singing voice from before. Just listening to her voice made people feel as if they were immersed in a warm wave, making their whole body feel relaxed and soft. She did not have the dense green scales that ordinary people from the Ocean Empire Planet had. There were only a few green glimmers that were faintly discernible in some hidden parts of her body … Overall, she looked more like a beautiful celestialoid. Haiyeluo, who was next to her, was the same.
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhong also smiled. Due to the differences in their respective civilization systems, there were actually many customs and common sense that contradicted each other. Thus, it was often difficult for them to understand each other's thoughts and figure out each other's thoughts. Only by frequently exchanging the customs of the various civilizations could they slowly understand each other.
"Your Highness Wang Zhong, this time, Father actually sent us here to ask for a favor." After three rounds of wine, Haiyeluo also slowly talked about business.
"Please speak."
"Previously, the Ocean Empire Planet was only a level-4.5 civilization. We did not have the qualifications to open a gathering point in the Land, nor were we able to purchase shops. Some of our previous pill businesses were under the name of other civilizations to earn a large amount of intermediate price difference or to do a large number of low-priced wholesale businesses." Haiyeluo smiled and said, "This time, we have been promoted to a level-6 civilization. According to the rules of the Star Alliance, the Ocean Empire Planet is qualified to choose a commercial street in the middle ring of the Land as our foundation. However, Your Highness, you know that even if it is just the periphery of the Land, which slightly better place is unoccupied? It is difficult. "
Wang Zhong smiled and did not answer. He could roughly guess what the Ocean Empire Planet was thinking, but he was waiting for the prince to speak.
Haiyeluo continued, "Your Highness, you know the rules of the Star Alliance's selection. Every civilization only has one chance when they have just advanced to level-6, and it is completely free. Unfortunately, there are no good vacant places for the time being, and my race does not want to waste this opportunity at will. Thus, I want to slow down and wait for some forces to withdraw from the good areas for some reason. It will not be too late for the Ocean Empire Planet to apply for it then. "
"Yes, this kind of thing cannot be rushed." Lao Wang echoed and waited for him to continue.
Haiyeluo smiled. "But we can't always be idle like this. When we withdrew from the Star Alliance, the Ocean Empire Planet has returned some of the pill markets that we rented. Now, the Ocean Empire Planet does not have a roof in the Land. I heard that Your Highness Wang Zhong has a private commercial street in the Catanlyke District. Father wants me to ask if we can borrow Your Highness Wang Zhong's treasured land to open a few pill shops as a transition before the Ocean Empire Planet has its own territory. Your Highness, rest assured that it will only be used for purely commercial purposes. The Ocean Empire Planet will abide by any management rules of the Heavenly Treasures Street and will never make things difficult for Your Highness. "
Sure enough.
In fact, when Haiyeluo mentioned the commercial street, Lao Wang already knew the Ocean Empire Planet's plan.
They had advanced to a level-6 civilization and had the opportunity to choose any commercial street in the middle and outer circles of the Land as their foundation for development. All of these were benefits given by the Star Alliance to level-6 civilizations. The Ocean Empire Planet must have seen the map of the Land given by the Star Alliance and probably couldn't find a good place that satisfied them. However, they would never casually choose a second-rate street because of this. Instead, they would rather keep this opportunity and wait for other civilizations to collapse and withdraw before applying for it. This kind of thing depended on luck. There were many 'fake' level-6 civilizations in the Land, such as the former Shell Shade Faction. The experts in their clan had long since withered, and they barely managed to survive by relying on their former fame and status as a level-6 civilization. However, a small matter or a casual provocation of an expert was enough to make them directly withdraw from the stage of the Land. There were so many races in the Land, and the Ocean Empire Planet might encounter such a good thing in three to five days. Of course, it might also take a year or two or even a decade or two. After all, the Ocean Empire Planet was not the only civilization with this kind of plan. There were definitely many level-6 civilizations in the Star Alliance waiting for such an opportunity.
Thus, the length of time could not be determined at all. However, the Ocean Empire Planet needed to resettle in the Land and develop, so they thought of Wang Zhong's Heavenly Treasures Street. Firstly, the Ocean Empire Planet had a good relationship with Wang Zhong. If the Ocean Empire Planet opened a shop in the Heavenly Treasures Street, they would definitely not suffer a loss. Secondly, although the Heavenly Treasures Street in the Catanlyke District was only ranked below average among the many commercial districts in the middle circle of the Land, it was suitable for the development of a civilization like the Ocean Empire Planet that focused on the low-end pill market. Thirdly, Wang Zhong was now the benefactor of the Ocean Empire Planet, and the Heavenly Shell Race had hinted to the Ocean Empire Planet to be on good terms with Wang Zhong. Since they were doing business, with the strength of the Ocean Empire Planet in the low-end pill market, they would definitely be able to make the Heavenly Treasures Street popular. Not only would they be able to provide high taxes to the Heavenly Treasures Street, but they would also be able to drive the economy of the entire Heavenly Treasures Street … Anyway, it was the same no matter where they did business, so why not give such benefits to Wang Zhong? It was also another way of expressing goodwill.
Lao Wang only needed to think for a while to understand the meaning behind this. The Ocean Empire Planet seemed to be asking him for help, but in fact, it was another generous gift. If he accepted it, he would be a fool with a problem in his head. The Ocean Empire Planet's intention to be on good terms with him and the Earth civilization was even more direct and intense than the Illusion race. How could he reject such a sincere ally?
"Then, I wish the business of the Ocean Empire Pill Shop in the Heavenly Treasures Street to flourish." Wang Zhong laughed and raised his glass. He did not even discuss the details of the shop with Haiyeluo. Since the other party had shown such a sincere attitude, he had to show enough sincerity as well.
"Ha ha, Master Wang Zhong is a straightforward person!" Haiyeluo was also overjoyed. He did not think that Wang Zhong would refuse this kind of thing. No one was stupid, but Wang Zhong's attitude when he agreed to this matter obviously showed that he recognized Ocean Empire Planet's' goodwill 'and accepted it. He just did not point it out. Ocean Empire Planet did not throw flirtatious glances at a blind man. Wang Zhong was a smart person. Furthermore, he was a very powerful and smart person. Ocean Empire Planet would definitely benefit from cooperating with such a person. "Come, little sister, let's toast to Master Wang Zhong!"
After a full glass, the verbal agreement between the two parties was considered to have been reached. This was obviously a win-win situation for both Ocean Empire Planet and Wang Zhong. Everyone was in a good mood. Haiyeluo clapped his hands again, and immediately, someone outside the house carried a golden box engraved with various sea beasts and walked in.
Wang Zhong was curious, but he saw Haiyeluo directly order someone to open the box. Inside was a strangely shaped golden cauldron that shone brightly under the light.
"Master Wang Zhong," Haiyeluo said with a smile. "Father asked us to bring this back to you."
"Return it to me?" Wang Zhong was slightly stunned. With Haiyeluo's shrewdness, it was impossible for him to make a slip of the tongue. Wang Zhong did not recognize this thing at all, so how could he say 'return it to you'? Was it another gift?
"These are Father's original words." Haiyeluo smiled. In fact, he really didn't know anything. When he heard his father mention 'returning it to Wang Zhong', he was extremely curious and asked repeatedly, but his father didn't answer him. "I'm sorry, I really don't know any more. However, I believe that my father wouldn't speak without thinking. Your Highness, please accept it. Perhaps you will learn something after studying it in detail."
Wang Zhong became more and more curious and stood up to take a closer look.
The shape of this cauldron looked quite unique. There were eleven dragon heads of different shapes around it, but it was not the winged dragon race that had disappeared in the Land. Instead, it was the wingless five-clawed golden dragon totem that could be seen in some ancient ruins in Tianjing or the Federation in the old era. The entire cauldron was not big, but it was very exquisite. The carved dragon heads were vivid and lifelike. He could not tell what material was used to cast it, but it did not seem to be particularly valuable, and he could not sense any spiritual influence from it.
However, the shape of the Tianjing dragon made Lao Wang feel something. The Sea Emperor had said that this item belonged to Wang Zhong. Was it related to this?
No matter what, at least there was no malice in this. There had always been legends about the disappearance of the dragon race in the Land, but most of them referred to the wingless five-clawed golden dragon in the ancient totem on Earth. To be honest, Lao Wang had been in the Heavenly Gates library for a long time, but he had never seen any similar descriptions in the Land. It seemed that this was unique to Earth, and the Sea Emperor seemed to have other meanings.
"Then, Brother Haiyeluo, please thank the Sea Emperor for this gift on behalf of Wang Zhong." Wang Zhong had no reason to refuse. Anything that was related to Earth in the divine territory would definitely be useful.
"Your Highness, you're too polite! Come, let's not go home until we're drunk! "
Lao Wang could tell that Prince Haiyelo obviously had the intention of helping his sister and Wang Zhong get together. However, it was a pity that Lao Wang had no intention of flirting with other women. Thus, he could only apologetically pretend to be ignorant and ignore him. However, the Sea Dragon Princess was also an interesting person. She seemed to have noticed that Wang Zhong was intentionally keeping his distance and actually heaved a long sigh of relief. Lao Wang accidentally saw her sneakily turning her head and sticking out her tongue, which made him laugh involuntarily.
Then, the Sea Dragon Princess swept away her previous restraint and became much livelier. She even started to talk and laugh. Lao Wang understood at first glance that this princess had probably been forced to come by her father. No matter what race they were from, as long as they were outstanding children born in the royal family, they would instinctively be disgusted by the various marriages arranged by their parents. As long as it was arranged by their parents, regardless of whether the other party was outstanding or not, they would habitually reject it in their hearts.
In the eyes of ordinary people, being born noble might be endless happiness. They could enjoy all kinds of glory, splendor, and wealth for a lifetime, but they did not know that they also had their own troubles. It was just difficult for ordinary people to understand.
After returning from the Machinery Palace, Wang Zhong first asked Nini to send a letter to the Heavenly Treasures Street to explain what had happened on Ocean Empire Planet. Wang Zhong did not need to personally ask about the subsequent matters. Old Cow and the others would naturally communicate with the people sent by Ocean Empire Planet. In addition, the generous gifts from Ocean Empire Planet were divided into two portions. The larger portion was prepared for Jhonas to pass to Ma Dong, while the smaller portion was sent by Nini to Old Cow.
A boss like Lao Wang, who not only did not care about financial income but also kept throwing money into it, was probably the only one in the entire commercial streets in the Land. There was no choice. As the base of Earth, the commercial scale of the Heavenly Treasures Street was still too small. Now, development was the main focus. The taxes or protection fees collected by Mugthol and Old Cow were mostly used for the infrastructure of the Heavenly Treasures Street, as well as the recruitment of manpower, the settlement of Earthlings, and so on. Furthermore, with Ocean Empire Planet entering the Heavenly Treasures Street, with their ability to compete with the Heavenly Shell Race in the low-end market, they could already foresee the future development potential of the Heavenly Treasures Street. The market had become larger, and there were more buyers. The standards of the sellers had to increase accordingly. If they wanted to expand and earn more, how could they not invest in the early stages?
After settling all of this, Lao Wang plunged into the fragment world with the strange dragon cauldron.
The Sea Emperor would not do things without thinking. This dragon cauldron seemed ordinary, but the five-clawed golden dragon seemed to be closely related to the Earth. This indeed made Lao Wang very curious, and he could not wait to study it first.
There were 11 dragon heads on the golden cauldron …
He was already too familiar with the number 11.
In the past, it was said that there were 12 Golden Stone Slabs, but in reality, according to the records of many ancient books, there were only 11 Golden Stone Slabs. The so-called 12th Golden Stone Slab was just a collection. Furthermore, every dragon head was engraved with the image of a dragon playing with a pearl. Mysterious runes were engraved on each dragon ball, but they were all different. Wang Zhong could not understand the runes engraved on the dragon balls. The lines seemed simple, but upon closer inspection, he felt that they were too simple and mysterious. They were completely different from the runes that he had learned before, and there were no rules that he could follow. However, after looking at them for a long time, Lao Wang faintly had a strange feeling. It was as if what these simple runes expressed was very similar to the 11 Golden Stone Slabs. Of course, he could not be sure. It was just a vague feeling.
Lao Wang could not help but think of his previous encounter in the Illusion Sea. The powerful leader of the Dragon Race, the Eight Heavenly Kings of the four races in Heaven, and the indescribable ancient grievances … It was as if all of this had some kind of faintly discernible connection and was connected by a thin transparent ribbon. It seemed to be hinting something to him. The Dragon Race seemed to be completely different from the Colossal Dragons in the Land. Of course, it could also be a Colossal Dragon that could transform, but he had never heard of the Colossal Dragon Race that could transform. He had to ask Celeste about this when he had the chance.
He looked at the Fate Stone that was floating in the air in the fragment world. If Lao Wang felt that there was something special and important in his life, it would undoubtedly be the Fate Stone. Perhaps the Fate Stone was also related to this matter?
Lao Wang could not help but lift the Golden Dragon Cauldron and turn it over and over in front of the Fate Stone. However, it was a pity that neither of them had any reaction and did not give him any additional hints.
Wang Zhong helplessly rubbed his nose. It seemed that this was not the same as opening sesame. If he wanted to solve this riddle, he would not be able to do so in a short period of time. If he had the opportunity to go to the Ocean Empire Planet next time, he would have to have a good chat with the Sea Emperor. The Sea Emperor would say, "Return this thing to Wang Zhong." He was afraid that the Sea Emperor had a much deeper understanding of the Golden Dragon Cauldron than Wang Zhong did and might know some hidden secrets.
At that moment, the fragment world had become much larger and was close to 30 square meters. Lao Wang estimated and judged that the spiritual pressure and gravity in the fragment world had surpassed the ordinary environment in the Heavenly Gates. It was only slightly lower than the most central location in the Inner Gates. Furthermore, there was still a considerable amount of room for improvement.
Wang Zhong had already figured out some ways to upgrade the fragment world. On one hand, it depended on the external environment that he was in for a long time. On the other hand, it depended on the nourishment of the Fate Stone. On the other hand, it depended on his own strength.
Compared to the first two, the improvement of his own strength was the greatest help to the fragment world. Previously, when he accumulated his Void Core, the fragment world had directly expanded by about half its original size. Coupled with the steady improvement of his cultivation during this period of time, the fragment world had grown to a size of nearly 30 square meters.
The space was larger, and the spiritual pressure was higher. The current fragment world was no longer as tense as before, where one could not even set foot on it. Instead, Wang Zhong had divided it into three regions. The largest region occupied the entire central region, as well as a large portion of the eastern and western regions. It was mainly used to cultivate elixirs, and the materials cultivated here were much better than those outside.
Other than the elixir area, there was a small area in the north that Lao Wang had opened up for personal cultivation. Now, the cultivation conditions near the mushroom house were no longer comparable to his own fragment world. The spiritual pressure here was higher and stronger. Furthermore, with the assistance of the familiar aura of the Fate Stone, it was indeed faster to cultivate in the fragment world than outside.
In addition, there was a corner in the south of the fragment world that was specially used to store various miscellaneous items.
Although the space ring also had storage functions, it was not as convenient as the fragment world. Furthermore, the space ring was not absolutely safe. For example, if he encountered a special situation where a powerful figure wanted to forcefully check his space ring for various reasons, even if he did not give it to them, the other party could directly check it by destroying the ring. However, if it was placed in the fragment world, even Gold Core experts would find it difficult to discover the existence of this kind of private fragment world, let alone check it.
Currently, his spatial ring was filled with inferior, unimportant magic treasures such as the Falling Stars, low-grade medicinal pills, and a lot of Gold Star coins. Of course, he would also put a few valuable things with his signature characteristics, such as a few Perfect Pills. He would even often put the Hidden Dragon Sword in his spatial ring. That was also to deceive others. If he really encountered a situation where he was forcefully searched, Lao Wang could even take the initiative to let them casually check his space ring. However, the most valuable items, such as the artifacts that had yet to be appraised and the Eleven Golden Dragon Cauldron, were all stored here.
He placed the golden dragon cauldrons in a pile and looked at the bronze mirror that was also placed there. Ever since he had tried to contact Aiolos, Lao Wang had not used this bronze mirror. At that moment, he felt that his condition was not bad. During this period of time, his spiritual power base had increased significantly, and he felt that there should be no problem in contacting him.
Lao Wang was also excited. He took out the bronze mirror and wanted to try it out.
With his previous experience in controlling it, he was now very familiar with it.
Wang Zhong activated his Void Core and poured spiritual power into it.
