Pa!
The Netherworld King's soul directly knelt on the ground with a thud. Not only was there no longer any hostility and ferocity on its face, but it was instead filled with endless submission and respect.
An endless stream of memories surged into its soul. It remembered!
At that time, it was not called the Netherworld King, and there was no Netherworld River. It was just a place where the Heavenly River produced filth and flowed in the underground world, becoming a dirty dark river. The appearance of this person in front of it helped it give birth to a will. It devoured various filth and formed the so-called Netherworld aura, which eroded almost one-third of the underground world. With the massive Netherworld River as its body, the first Netherworld King was truly born. It could be said that without this person in front of it, there would be no Netherworld River and no will that belonged to the Netherworld King. He could be said to be its father!
In this process, he had appeared three times. The last time was a long, long time ago. He said that he would return in another form. He would find it and need it, but he only needed to quietly assist it and not interfere. Everything was guided by fate.
The memories from countless eras were all restored at that moment. All its instincts were waiting for him to return and look at it. Now, he had finally returned!
He was needed!
"I am willing to serve Mu Zi as my master. I will be your servant for the rest of my life, and I will die without regrets!" The Netherworld King's excited voice trembled. His respectful attitude made even Wang Zhong, Mu Zi, and Grai, who were already prepared for failure, feel puzzled and dumbfounded.
After crossing countless eras, this was the first time the new Netherworld King had heard his voice. It was a sense of satisfaction that came from the birth of the Netherworld River. Just an image projection was enough to make the Netherworld King willingly.
Wang Zhong and the other two were a little amazed, especially Wang Zhong. Although the effects of this soul contract were powerful, before the contract was completed, both parties had to be willing. His original plan was to use himself as a deterrent and continuously torture the Netherworld King with his draconic aura until the Netherworld King could not take it anymore and agreed, or until Mu Zi could not endure the pain of his soul being separated for a long time and failed. However, he did not expect that the Netherworld King would agree so respectfully before he even made a move. Was there any loophole or trick in the process?
It was too smooth, causing the three of them to be on tenterhooks. When Grai completed the entire process of the contract, the entire contract array turned into a ray of golden light, branding a golden rune imprint on Mu Zi and the Netherworld King's souls.
"Is it done?" Grai wasn't too sure.
Even Lao Wang wasn't sure and looked at Mu Zi doubtfully. However, after Mu Zi muttered to herself for a moment, a relaxed smile appeared on her face. "It's done!"
The contractor would definitely have the most direct feeling for this kind of contract. Wang Zhong had contracted an elemental spirit before and was very clear about this. If Mu Zi could say that he had succeeded so confidently, there was definitely no doubt about it.
"Can you summon it?" Wang Zhong asked. After all, the Netherworld King was different from Nini and the rest. He was just a spiritual entity.
Mu Zi nodded his head and opened his left hand. In his left hand was an array that was similar to the one Wang Zhong had used to summon Nini. However, there were some black lines in the golden array.
At that moment, runes flashed on his palm, and a cloud of gray smoke emerged from the runic array. It condensed into a faintly discernible shadow in the air.
This shadow quickly turned into a human figure. It looked like Mu Zi, but his eyes were pitch-black. It was exactly the same as the Netherworld King's version of Mu Zi. … It was like a dead version of Brother Mu Zi.
The moment he appeared, he was extremely respectful. He first called Mu Zi "Master." Then, when he looked at Wang Zhong, his pitch-black eyes couldn't hide the crazy worship in his eyes. "Greetings, Your Excellency."
"What did you see during the contract?" Wang Zhong was very curious. He could sense the Netherworld King's state during the entire contract process more clearly than Grai and Mu Zi. The Netherworld King had always been disdainful of this soul contract. It was only when he saw Wang Zhong through the array that his attitude suddenly changed drastically.
Wang Zhong didn't believe that he could make the Netherworld King fear him to this extent with just his draconic aura. The Netherworld King must have seen something at that time.
"I saw the past, present, and future," he said respectfully. "Fate has never abandoned you, nor has it ever stopped. You just need to listen to your heart and move forward."
The three of them were dumbfounded. What the hell was going on?
A madman who was crazy about killing suddenly became a philosopher with a sense of redemption. This … should be a good thing.
From the appearance of the Fate Stone until now, especially everything that happened after they came to the Land, were all these related things just a coincidence? Now, the Netherworld King, who seemed to know a little about it, kept his mouth shut. It really made people want to find out, but they couldn't. Even Lao Wang, who usually didn't gossip, was extremely curious.
It seemed that he could only make a trip to the Ocean Empire Planet first. At least there were some clues about the 11-Headed Dragon Cauldron there, which might give him some inspiration. He just hoped that the Ocean Emperor wouldn't keep his mouth shut like the Netherworld King.
Mu Zi had also confirmed that he could control the Netherworld King's will. There was no doubt about this. They had finally solved this big problem, which made the three of them feel extremely carefree.
With the Netherworld King's combat power, the Earth had more confidence. What was left was how to deal with the Heavenly Gates.
High-level civilizations only coveted the environment where these races continuously produced powerful souls. This was a kind of resource. Low-level civilizations were not strong enough and naturally couldn't protect it. But what if it was a level-8 civilization? Who would dare to use such an excuse to annex a level-8 civilization? To put it bluntly, this kind of thing only depended on whether one had the qualifications and strength to protect one's own property.
"I have many friends in the Heavenly Gates and can come into contact with the higher-ups in the Heavenly Gates. I can go and talk to them." Being in the Heavenly Gates and mingling with the Heavenly Shell Race, the Fire Demon Race, the Machinery Race, and other high-level civilizations, Lao Wang had long understood the style and rules of these high-level civilizations. "Since we have successfully formed a contract, the power of Mu Zi and the Netherworld King can be completely controlled. This is no longer a crime. Instead, it is a form of confidence and strength. The Machinery Race will support me, and so will the Heavenly Shell Race. With the support of these two level-8 civilizations, not only will this not become a burden on the Earth, they might even use this opportunity to adjust our level. This is an opportunity for the Earth! "
Wang Zhong spoke rather confidently. Indeed, this was an opportunity for the Earthlings to hold their heads high in the Land!
Furthermore, with the perfect combination of Mu Zi and the Netherworld King's current strength, as well as himself, the Earth could be considered extremely powerful in terms of pure strength. At least in terms of peak combat strength, they could fight against some level-7 civilizations!
Although Lao Wang had a certain level of confidence in negotiating with the Heavenly Gates, it was hard to say what the final outcome of this matter would be before the matter was settled.
To put it bluntly, Lao Wang was only considering the standpoint of the Earth, the Heavenly Shell Race, and the Machinery Race. What about the other civilizations in the Heavenly Gates? The Fire Demon Race and the Blood Demon Race? Even the Natural Race, the Soul Race, and the others, who had always maintained a neutral position in various matters in the Heavenly Gates, could influence the final outcome of this matter. The Heavenly Shell Race did not have the final say in the Heavenly Gates.
Furthermore, it had been more than half a month since he had left the Netherworld River City. It was very likely that the CHC team was already on their way. If they encountered him, with the efficiency of the Heavenly Gates, they would definitely attack without asking for a reason. It was hard to say if they would kill Wang Zhong, the 'accomplice', but they would definitely suppress Mu Zi and the Netherworld King into the void.
"Let's split up. We will stay on Hell Island and wait for news of your return to the Heavenly Gates."
"We can't find you anywhere in the underground world. It is very likely that the CHC team will guess that you are hiding in the Three Great Impasse and will chase after you." Wang Zhong pondered and said, "Furthermore, I will need more than one or two days to negotiate with the Heavenly Gates. The Heavenly Shell Race and the Machinery Race should be easy to talk to, but the Netherworld King incident has been placed on their mission list. If they want to withdraw or change their strategy, they will definitely not be able to come to a conclusion in just two or three days. However, whenever they encounter such wrangling between the higher-ups, even if there are people who are determined to obstruct them and delay for time, they will not be able to come to a clear conclusion without at least a month, let alone someone resolutely opposing it and escalating it to a factional struggle. "
"Relax. If we don't take the initiative to fight, they can forget about doing anything." Mu Zi and Grai looked at each other and smiled. It was obvious that they were very confident in each other.
After the discussion was settled and there was nothing else to do on Hell Island, Wang Zhong was about to return. Back then, he had drifted on the sea for a full five days from the Netherworld River City. But now, with the help of the Netherworld King, the entire Netherworld River seemed to have become a tool for Wang Zhong to travel. There were winds and waves when he wanted them. He rode on the Jiuli Warship and traveled with the wind. In less than half a day, he arrived at the shore of the Netherworld River City.
Just like when he had left, there were still a large number of overt and covert sentries from various Factions along the shore. At that moment, Wang Zhong returned to his original Black Titan attire. He thought that the news of him crippling the Profound Fire Faction's Bayan at the seaside would have spread, and his identity would still be eye-catching. However, he did not expect that the previous incident did not seem to have spread at all. No one was surprised by his identity as a Black Titan. Everything was normal.
Lao Wang had no intention to investigate in detail. This was a troubled time, and it was better to avoid trouble. It was good that the news did not spread. On the way to the Netherworld River City to search for the transmission array, he heard a lot of first-hand news about the Heavenly Gates. Half a month ago, when Lao Wang headed to the Netherworld River, there were already rumors in the underground world that the Heavenly Gates had sent out a Celestial Honors Team to deal with the Netherworld King. But until now, the Celestial Honors Team seemed to have only been a 'rumor' and had not made any actual moves. There were only some rumors that the Heavenly Gates was in a dispute over how to deal with the Netherworld King incident. It seemed to involve the secret competition between the Fire Demon Race and the Heavenly Shell Race, but no one was clear about the actual situation.
Lao Wang was very calm. This time, when he came down to deal with the Netherworld King incident, there were endless problems and piles of bad news. Now that the rain had passed, even good news came one after another.
In the history of the Heavenly Gates, they had always been swift and decisive in dealing with the Netherworld King incident. Since they had not issued any official suggestions, it only meant that the internal struggle was very intense, and there were many different voices. Under these circumstances, the success rate of him negotiating with the Heavenly Gates on behalf of Mu Zi would undoubtedly increase greatly. In fact, there was even more time left for him. He had originally planned to immediately return to the Heavenly Gates without stopping, but now, there was no need to rush. He could even calmly inquire about the reactions of the various parties on this matter, and it would not be too late to lay his cards on the table with the Heavenly Shell Race.
His impatient mood instantly relaxed a lot. In any case, he was not in a hurry. As he thought about the matters on the Ocean Empire Planet, Lao Wang decided to make a trip to the Ocean Empire Planet before returning to the Heavenly Gates. If not, when he returned to the Heavenly Gates, he would have a lot of things to deal with, and he did not know when he would have the free time.
Through the transmission array in the Netherworld River City, he directly went to the entrance of the Heavenly Pit in White Elephant City. The massive Heavenly Pit stood in front of him.
This was the hard channel that connected the underground world and the Land. The Heavenly Pit passed through the entire continent and the two worlds. There was a massive and ancient elevator that many goods and ordinary people used to travel between the two worlds. Meanwhile, the exit of the Heavenly Pit in White Elephant City corresponded to the Catanlyke District in the Land.
The last time he had returned to the Heavenly Treasures Street in the Catanlyke District was a few months ago. He had not returned for a few months, but the other places in the Catanlyke District were as usual. However, the changes in the Heavenly Treasures Street were massive. Back then, when Wang Zhong represented the Earth and rose to power, the Heavenly Treasures Street had become popular. However, this' fire 'was only because the various powers in the Catanlyke District attached importance to the Heavenly Treasures Street and not because of the changes in the business street itself. However, ever since the Ocean Empire Pill Shop entered the Heavenly Treasures Street, the Heavenly Treasures Street had become completely popular.
The street seemed to have widened significantly. The ground was no longer the gravel road from before. Instead, it was paved with large bluestones that shone with a green light, making the quality of the entire street much higher. The street was bustling with people. Even though it was almost dusk, it was still very lively and did not lose to the center of the Catanlyke District. Furthermore, one could see the business signs of some Earthlings in the surrounding shops. Level-4 civilizations did not have the right to openly do business in the Business District in the Land, but people who were at least level-5 civilizations could. They were also allowed to put up signs, but they could not buy or sell their shops. If they wanted to do business, they could only rent them.
Lao Wang was very familiar with this place and simply went to the Ocean Empire Pill Shop in the center of the street.
It was normal for people in the Land to look down on people from the underground world. At first, when the manager saw that Wang Zhong was a Black Titan, he was rather disdainful. If Wang Zhong had not taken out the token that Prince Haiyeluo had left for him, he would not have even bothered to help Wang Zhong announce his arrival.
However, after sitting in the guest hall for three to five minutes, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps. A young man from the Ocean Empire Race quickly walked out with a doubtful expression. Before he could speak, Wang Zhong smiled and stood up. "Prince Haiyeluo, how have you been?"
"Ah!" Haiyeluo instantly recognized Wang Zhong from this voice, and a pleasantly surprised expression appeared on his face. "It's …"
He suddenly came to a realization and furrowed his eyebrows as he looked around. "All of you, leave!"
The attendants around him, as well as the owner of the pill shop, responded and hurriedly left, closing the door behind them.
At that moment, there was no one inside or outside the house. Haiyeluo immediately put on an excited expression and strode towards Wang Zhong. "Thank the heavens, Your Highness Wang Zhong! I knew that you would definitely be fine! You are the number one Solid Core in the Heavenly Gates and are like a god. How could you lose your life in the underground world without knowing why? It's great to see Your Highness safe and sound! "
Although Wang Zhong had only met this Prince Haiyeluo once, his concern was evident in his words. The Ocean Empire Planet had relied on the Heavenly Shell Race through Wang Zhong's relationship, especially the matter of them moving into the Heavenly Treasures Street. In fact, the fate of Wang Zhong and the Earth had long been linked. The Ocean Empire Planet had long regarded Wang Zhong, a rising star in the Heavenly Gates, as a noble of the entire race. They were also optimistic that Wang Zhong's future achievements would be limitless. They had high hopes for Wang Zhong's friendship and had invested enough capital into it.
If Wang Zhong died and the Earth fell, the Ocean Empire Planet would most likely be the next to be dealt with. Thus, the Prince's hope for Wang Zhong's safety was completely sincere and not for show.
Lao Wang could also feel the sincerity of his ally. He smiled and said, "Are there a lot of rumors about me recently? How did they spread? Did they affect the Heavenly Treasures Street? "
"Ha ha, how could they not affect it? Previously, it was said that Your Highness had gone missing in the underground world. Later, it was said that an almighty Gold Core from the Ninth Shade Faction had thrown Your Highness into the Netherworld River, "Haiyeluo said." Think about how dangerous the Netherworld River is. Many people said that Your Highness had died. The various forces in the Catanlyke District had always been envious of the current profits in the Heavenly Treasures Street. Once the news of Your Highness' death came out, the various forces became restless. However, there was no definite news of his death from the Heavenly Gates, and everyone was still observing. However, there was a time limit to this observation. In the past few days, someone came to find me and said that Your Highness' corpse had been found in the underground world. They said that the Heavenly Treasures Street would sooner or later fall into a chaotic situation where various forces would fight over it. They invited my Ocean Empire Pill Shop to develop there, but of course, I sternly rejected them. Heh heh, I think that many people can't hold back anymore. If these people suddenly discover that Your Highness Wang Zhong has returned safely, I really don't know what expression they will have. "
Lao Wang knew that he was the brand and pillar of the Earth. Once he really fell, the superficial glory that the Earth currently possessed would immediately disappear. He was not surprised by this and simply asked, "What about the Earth? I have not gone back and do not understand the situation for now. "
"I have contacted Mister Ma Dong a few times. I heard that there are some small problems. There are many voices from the Heavenly Gates condemning the Earth because of the Netherworld King incident, but the Heavenly Shell Race seems to be determined to protect the Earth this time. Furthermore, they have not received any definite news about Your Highness. Thus, they still maintain the status of the Earth as a quasi-level-5 civilization and order the higher-ups of the Earth not to leave the Earth. However, these are just routine procedures for dealing with suspicious civilizations. They are rather polite." It was obvious that Haiyeluo did not know much about the Earth. Although he had many interactions with Ma Dong, their relationship had not reached the stage where it was like the relationship between the Earth and the Illusion Race. They only had some superficial information, but at least Lao Wang knew that the Earth was not in a big mess. If it was only a small problem, Ma Dong naturally had the ability to deal with it. Thus, he was much more at ease.
"Your Highness, why are you still dressed like this when you returned to the Land? I heard a servant report that a Black Titan was looking for me. I was puzzled and did not know when I had become acquainted with a Black Titan as a friend. "
"The Netherworld King incident in the underground world is more complicated. I want to see the reactions of all parties. I have to hide my whereabouts for the time being." The reason why Lao Wang chose not to expose himself was that he did not want the higher-ups in the Heavenly Gates to know that he had been in frequent contact with the Ocean Empire Planet. On the other hand, Lao Wang also wanted to take this opportunity to observe the attitude of the Heavenly Shell Race towards the Earth. He wanted to see if they would immediately abandon the Earth because of his' death '. That would be too heartless. But now, it seemed that the Heavenly Shell Race treated the Earth very well. Even when Wang Zhong's life and death were uncertain, they still protected the Earth. Although this protection could not last forever, it could at least protect the Earth for a while. This was already considered to be treating Wang Zhong fairly. "Also, I want to go to the Ocean Empire Planet to see the Ocean Emperor. Brother Haiyeluo, can you help me arrange it?"
"No problem. The transmission array on the Ocean Empire Planet has been restored long ago. It just so happens that I have something to do on the Ocean Empire Planet. If Your Highness wants to continue hiding your identity, you can easily deceive people by pretending to be my personal guard. No one will be able to find your whereabouts on the transmission array list. By the way, Your Highness should not have contacted the Earth yet, right? Do you need me to send a message for you? " Haiyeluo was also alert. If Wang Zhong had already contacted the Earth, there was no need for him to inquire about the Earth.
Lao Wang smiled slightly. "Not for the time being. Thank you."
There had to be secrets related to him on the Ocean Empire Planet, especially those related to 'dragons'. Lao Wang could faintly feel that the so-called 'dragons' seemed to be a taboo topic in the Land. Such a powerful race had suddenly disappeared two eras ago, and there were very few introductions to dragons even in the many books in the Heavenly Gates. If one said that there was nothing fishy about this, even Lao Wang himself would not believe it. What's more, if what he saw in the Illusory Sea World really happened in history, then this' Dragon Clan 'might even be involved in the grievances between the four clans of the Heaven Realm. That was a boundary that he couldn't touch. Therefore, it was best to keep his contact with the Ocean Empire Planet secret. If he really involved something taboo and was tracked down by someone with ulterior motives, both he and the Ocean Empire Planet would not be able to get away with it.
At this time, in the eyes of everyone, his life and death were uncertain. If he quietly went to the Ocean Empire Planet and returned, no one would know. However, if he made contact with the Earth first, the Earth would definitely be the focus of the Heavenly Gates and would definitely be monitored. If he contacted the Earth first, he would definitely not be able to escape the eyes and ears of the Heavenly Gates. Since they knew that he had reappeared, with the amount of attention that Lao Wang was receiving now, it would be wishful thinking for him to go to the Ocean Empire Planet quietly.
As a prince of a level-6 civilization, he could enjoy the right to activate the transmission array to return to his own planet at any time in any transmission field in the Land. He did not need to queue for a transfer. Haiyeluo's side was also extremely efficient. While giving instructions, he brought the disguised Wang Zhong to the transmission field. In less than half an hour, when they arrived at the transmission field, the exclusive transmission channel had been waiting for a long time.
This was the second time Lao Wang had come to the Ocean Empire Planet. His mood was different from the last time he came, when he was ready to go to war. Looking at this blue planet, Lao Wang's heart surged with many emotions.
Speaking of which, the two planets actually had many rare similarities. The Earth was also a planet dominated by water. Especially since the Dark Ages, seawater occupied more than 80% of the Earth's surface area. In the Star Alliance, there were not many planets like Earth and the Ocean Empire Planet that were dominated by water. Even if they were the birthplaces of many marine races, their land area was at least 50%. The Ocean Empire Planet and Earth could be regarded as unusual.
The Ocean Emperor's palace was located at the bottom of the sea, tens of thousands of meters deep. There was a magical water-splitting method that allowed the seawater to float above the underwater world. When traveling through the water in an aircraft, the seawater tens of thousands of meters deep was almost pitch-black. However, after passing through the seawater and entering the underwater world, the surroundings were not dark. Instead, it was full of light, and there was no sense of dampness.
According to Haiyeluo, this was a kind of rune technology that had been passed down since ancient times on the Ocean Empire Planet. The entire seabed of the Ocean Empire Planet was' hollowed out ', and it was not just the Ocean Emperor's palace.
It was able to isolate a dry and bright environment below and steadily support the unimaginably heavy seawater of the entire planet for tens of thousands of years. Such a method and the so-called rune technology made Lao Wang gasp in amazement.
As Haiyeluo's personal guard, he followed him into the magnificent palace. The Ocean Emperor had already received news of Haiyeluo's arrival and had been waiting for a long time.
"Your Highness Wang Zhong's presence really brings light to my humble palace." There were no attendants around, and this was also for the sake of keeping Wang Zhong's identity a secret. Only Haiyeluo accompanied him. At this moment, the Ocean Emperor smiled and greeted him. "According to Your Highness's wishes, I dare not set up any kind of reception in order to avoid revealing Your Highness's identity. Please forgive me if I have neglected you."
"The Ocean Emperor is too serious."
The last time he came, he had seen the Ocean Emperor on the surface of the sea. At that time, he seemed to be an ordinary Void Core, but now that he saw him again, he could feel that he was somewhat extraordinary. On the surface, he still seemed to be a Void Core, but he faintly gave Wang Zhong a feeling that there was an inner sharpness and that he was deeply hidden. As a result, Lao Wang was unable to accurately judge the other party's strength. This also made Lao Wang secretly surprised.
With his current strength, to be able to give him such a feeling and make him completely unable to see through the details, the other party was either an extremely powerful King Level Gold Core Cultivator who was intentionally hiding, or he had a precious treasure that could completely conceal and change his real strength and aura. If the Ocean Emperor was comparable to a king-level Gold Core like Superintendent Erza, then he would be able to contend with the Fire Demon Race. He would not have to act so cowardly and cowardly a long time ago. But even so, the Ocean Emperor was still unfathomable. To be able to easily activate such a high-level treasure, his own strength definitely could not be underestimated. As expected, the Ocean Empire Planet was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Lao Wang did not beat around the bush. After exchanging greetings, he directly cut to the chase and took out the fragments of the dragon cauldron.
"Your Majesty, the Ocean Emperor, gave me this item, but it was accidentally destroyed by me. This time, I came to see if it is possible to repair it."
"Your Highness, you may not know this, but this item was definitely not a gift from me. It is indeed something that belongs to you. I don't know much about it, let alone repair it." The Ocean Emperor was obviously a little surprised. He did not expect this thing to be broken. After a brief examination, he smiled bitterly. "It's not that I'm unwilling to help you, Your Highness, but I really don't have the ability to do so."
"I have never been to the Ocean Empire Planet before, and Earth has never even had any contact with the Ocean Empire Planet civilization. Why would the Ocean Emperor say that this belongs to me?" This time, Lao Wang was determined to get to the bottom of the matter. "And I think this thing is probably an antique from thousands of years ago."
"Your Highness's judgment is extremely accurate." The Ocean Emperor pondered for a moment. "This thing has indeed been stored on the Ocean Empire Planet for more than three thousand years."
"Then I'm even more curious." Lao Wang smiled and said, "I wasn't even born three thousand years ago. How could something of mine appear on the Ocean Empire Planet?"
"Hehe, I don't blame Your Highness for being suspicious. This matter is indeed incredible." The Ocean Emperor seemed to organize his words and finally said calmly, "I have to start from a disaster that happened on the Ocean Empire Planet three thousand years ago …"
Three thousand years was three eras. At that time, the Ocean Empire Planet had not yet joined the Star Alliance, and its strength was far from what it was now. Even the entire Ocean Empire Planet was still in a state of fragmentation between the various Sea Races. However, because of its rich resources, it attracted frequent visits from Interstellar Pirates. An unranked civilization with a strength of around level three was completely powerless in front of the Interstellar Pirates. At that time, the Ocean Empire Planet could be said to be extremely miserable. Many ancient races had been captured and almost wiped out until a Celestial appeared.
Not only did he easily drive away all the Interstellar Pirates, but he also taught many secret cultivation techniques to the various races on the Ocean Empire Planet. The current Ocean Emperor was a member of the Sea Dragon bloodline. At that time, it was just the most inconspicuous and ordinary Sea Snake Clan among the many Sea Races on the Ocean Empire Planet. It was under the cultivation of the Celestial that they gradually rose to power, evolved into a Flood Dragon, and sat firmly on the throne of the Ocean Emperor.
Not only that, but the Celestial also passed on very advanced rune technology to the Ocean Empire Planet, allowing the Ocean Empire Planet to build an underwater land world tens of thousands of meters deep that was connected to the entire world. Many intelligent races hid at the bottom of the sea, and with great magical powers, the coordinates of the entire Ocean Empire Planet in the Fifth Dimension were shielded. This allowed the Ocean Empire Planet to completely avoid the frequent visits of the Interstellar Pirates, giving them the opportunity to recuperate and develop. In just a thousand years, they had stepped into the ranks of a level-five or even quasi-level-six civilization. Then, according to the instructions of the Celestial, they broke through his coordinate shielding, contacted and joined the Star Alliance. After that, the rich resources of the Ocean Empire Planet were targeted by the Fire Demon Race.
"The Celestial was the benefactor of the Ocean Empire Planet. Before he left, he left behind something, which was this cauldron," said the Ocean Emperor. "The Celestial once said that the owner of this object would come to the Ocean Empire Planet in the future. At that time, the dragon cauldron would react, and we must return this cauldron to its owner."
"This cauldron has been in the Ocean Empire Planet for as long as three thousand years, and there has never been any abnormalities. It was only when Your Highness came to the Ocean Empire Planet last time that this object suddenly emitted a golden light that illuminated the entire underwater world that I knew Your Highness was the owner of this object. Therefore, according to the instructions of my benefactor, I returned this object intact. "
Celestial? Three thousand years ago?
Lao Wang was also confused, but looking at the Ocean Emperor's expression, it definitely did not seem like he was lying. He was afraid that this matter was not false. Moreover, there was no need for the Ocean Emperor to lie to him.
He pondered for a moment. "Does the Celestial have a name? Since he is called a Celestial, he should be from the Heaven Realm. Do you know which race in the Heaven Realm he is from? What is his appearance? Since he called me the owner of this object, did he leave any other words behind? "
"I only know that my benefactor has the appearance of a celestialoid, but he has no wings and is not a member of the Heavenly Wings Race. I don't know anything else." The Ocean Emperor said shamefully, "As for other things, my ancestors also asked, but my benefactor did not say much. He only said that when the owner of this object enters the Heaven Realm, he will naturally understand everything. Your karma is there."
As expected …
Lao Wang also sighed secretly. Previously, he had discovered the Netherworld King's intention of concealing things. It was similar to what his benefactor from the Ocean Empire Planet had said.
Heaven?
Perhaps it was related to the Fate Stone. Yes, the Fate Stone was definitely an object from the Heaven Realm!
Many pieces of information were combined together. Lao Wang was now more and more convinced of the secrets he had seen in the Illusion Sea World. The things he was involved in were not trivial. It seemed that his strength and level were too low. He was afraid that he was not qualified to come into contact with many secrets. Just like what his benefactor from the Ocean Empire Planet had said, he would only know when he had the opportunity to set foot in the Heaven Realm.
"I have another piece of news here. It is said that when Your Highness went missing, there was a small-scale rebellion on Earth." After talking about the Dragon Cauldron, the Ocean Emperor chatted with Wang Zhong for a while. "Some higher-ups of the Earth civilization colluded with the Blood Demon Race and were prepared to attach the Earth to the Blood Demon Race as a subsidiary civilization. The Blood Demon Race sent a Solid Core expert to sign a contract to receive the Earth, but he was suppressed by the Earth civilization with thunderous methods. The Solid Core was killed and the rebel was executed. The Blood Demon Race has submitted a report to the Star Alliance and the Heavenly Gates as a victim. They are prepared to charge the Earth with the crime of rebellion on the grounds that the Earth civilization killed an emissary of a civilization without authorization. "
The Ocean Emperor's tone was calm. Lao Wang simply smiled and replied, "Since Your Majesty the Ocean Emperor calls it a 'rebellion', the Star Alliance must have made a decision."
The Ocean Emperor laughed and sighed. "I am convinced. Your Highness Wang Zhong is indeed an extraordinary person. If ordinary people suddenly heard such news, they would immediately panic, but Your Highness was able to clearly see through the details of these words. With such a state of mind and wisdom, it is no wonder that you can rise so quickly. "
"Your Highness's guess is correct. The Heavenly Shell Race and the Machinery Race strongly supported the Earth civilization on this matter. Furthermore, the Solid Core that the Blood Demon Race sent to the Earth did not have a diplomatic document from the Star Alliance or permission from the Earth to enter the country. Thus, it could only be regarded as an illegal entry. The Earth felt the threat of foreign invasion and decisively dealt with it. In the end, the Earth fined the Blood Demon Race one million Gold Star Stones on the grounds that they opened a transmission channel privately and allowed their people to knowingly break the law. The Blood Demon Race was fined one million Gold Star Stones to compensate for the losses that the Earth suffered in this matter. " The Ocean Emperor smiled and said, "This matter caused a sensation in the Star Alliance a few days ago. The Heavenly Shell Race and the Machinery Race's intention to protect the Earth and Your Highness is now known by the entire Star Alliance. Furthermore, the Earth, a level-4 civilization that no one thought highly of, was actually able to quickly subdue a Solid Core expert. This has indeed taught many people who were originally dissatisfied with the Earth a lesson. Thus, Your Highness can rest assured about the current situation on the Earth. "
Lao Wang understood the Ocean Emperor's thoughts. Since the Ocean Empire Planet had surrendered to the Heavenly Shell Race, it was natural for him to speak up for the Heavenly Shell Race. However, no matter what, the Heavenly Shell Race's response and handling of his disappearance had left the Earthlings speechless. Lao Wang was very grateful.
However, Wang Zhong was rather surprised that Ma Dong and the others had the ability to quickly deal with a Solid Core from the Blood Demon Race. Even though there were Solid Cores everywhere in the Heavenly Gates and Lao Wang did not seem to take them seriously, in reality, this was just an illusion caused by the level of contact he had and the high social circle he was in. To the tens of thousands of races and civilizations in the Star Alliance, a Solid Core was a tall barrier that most civilizations could not cross. Even the weakest Solid Core could casually kill a bunch of weak level-4 civilizations. Furthermore, just a year ago, the Earth was still a weakling that was at the bottom of the level-4 civilizations …
It turned out that the Earth had unknowingly grown to such a stage.
Wang Zhong could not help but feel a surge of emotions. In the past, he had always been worried that the rise of him, Mu Zi, and the others was just a coincidence or luck. Just as Celeste had said, their success could not be replicated by other Earthlings. But now, from the looks of it, Earthlings indeed had extraordinary talents! This was completely different from the previous situation. In order to forge iron, one had to be strong themselves. If even other Earthlings could rapidly become stronger, then the Earth would no longer be a low-leveled civilization that relied on one or two experts to prosper for a while. Instead, it was possible for the Earth to truly become the second Heavenly Shell Race. As long as people like Wang Zhong and Mu Zi took the lead, the rise of the Earth would truly be unstoppable!
Wang Zhong was not the only one who could see this. The other civilizations should also be able to see this. How much credit and honor was it to follow a civilization from when it was still weak until it reached the peak and became a ruler? Once they realized the potential of the Earth, the attitudes of the various civilizations towards Wang Zhong and the Earth would be completely different. The Earth would no longer be as' lonely 'as before, and it would soon no longer need to rely on the protection of the Heavenly Shell Race.
However, huge opportunities were often accompanied by huge dangers.
"Three thousand years ago, our benefactor saved and taught our Ocean Empire civilization. Later, Your Highness rescued our Ocean Empire civilization from danger. What's even rarer is that Your Highness has an inexplicable karma with our benefactor. This is enough to show the fate between the Ocean Empire Planet and the Earth. Therefore, no matter what happens in the future, the Ocean Empire Planet will always be a loyal and unchanging ally of the Earth. " The Ocean Emperor had expressed his stance, and his tone indicated that he was willing to form an alliance with the Earth without considering the wishes of the Heavenly Shell Race. On the one hand, it was because of the potential and future of the Earth, and on the other hand, it was because of the past karma. After a slight pause, he said meaningfully, "However, Your Highness, you must be careful. No matter how much potential a civilization has, it will have to step on countless corpses if it wants to truly rise. The more potential you have, the more uneasy your enemies will be … I'm afraid that the next few years will be troubled times for the Earth. Your Highness, you must be careful. If there is anything that you can use the Ocean Empire Planet civilization for, please tell us directly. The Ocean Empire Planet will be duty-bound. "
