After receiving Yan Long's Neptune's Pardon Scroll, the Sea King pressed it onto the blank scroll in his hand.
Golden runes appeared as they danced and rushed towards the blank scroll in the Sea King's hand.
Yan Long's Neptune's Pardon Scroll gradually dimmed while the Sea King's Pardon Scroll glowed brighter.
This symbolized the end of Yan Long's glory and the beginning of the Mu Te Trade Union's era.
Yan Lang's heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife when he saw this but was powerless to stop it.
Ever since they first set off from the fishing village, the two brothers had experienced too much. Their journey was full of hardships and obstacles. Their subordinates had died in battle one after another, but they still managed to withstand the violent storm and kept moving forward.
When they obtained the qualification to join the War Chamber of Commerce, they thought that they had bid farewell to the days of killing and danger and that their future would be bright.
But now, everything was gone.
Their future, dreams, hard work, and struggle were all gone like the moon in the water.
Under the cruel law of survival, one wrong step would cost them a lot, so much so that Yan Lang found it hard to accept.
At this moment, he thought of the promise and oath he had once made, a promise that was more important than his life.
Yan Lang could not help but clench his fists. His body trembled slightly as he tore off his clothes, revealing his body that was covered in scars.
From Yan Lang's point of view, these scars were not a warrior's glory. They were just punishment for his resistance in order to live a less useless life.
Every scar on the scroll recorded a crisis that was enough to kill him.
He had survived all of them and was still alive until now.
Yan Lang looked at the Sea King.
"I came from a small fishing village. In our village, all the people who went out to hunt were warriors. Although they were not strong, they had the courage to fight against storms and tsunamis. They worked tirelessly for the survival of their people. However, they were also very stupid and did not know how to be flexible. They only knew how to guard their own land. Even though there was a shortage of food in the village, they still had to offer sacrifices to the strong clans every year. This caused many people to die of starvation every year. However, they were so stupid that they did not think of changing anything. They silently endured all the evil intentions from the outside world. "
The Sea King did not say anything and looked at Yan Lang quietly.
"Until one day, two brothers wanted to change everything in the fishing village. Therefore, they chose to resist and chose to walk the path of becoming strong. They wanted to lead the entire village out of this desolate fishing village and welcome a better life!"
Smoke Wolf continued to speak.
"Back then, no one knew how difficult and dangerous this path was, but the entire village still chose to trust the two brothers unconditionally. With hot blood and beautiful hopes for the future, they followed them out of the fishing village to face the even crueler laws of survival. This journey lasted for millennia after millennia … The two brothers still remembered the oath they made back then, but the villagers fell one after another. In the end, all of them died in battle on this path to become strong."
"Living a mediocre life is sad, but at least we're still alive, right? How could this path be so easy to walk? When their mother died in battle, these two brothers gritted their teeth and persevered. When their father died in battle, they endured the pain and persevered. However, when the last of their clansmen, the old clan elder, also died in battle, they regretted their decision. At that moment, the two brothers no longer wanted to resist. They regretted the decision they made back then, which led to the destruction of everything in the fishing village. However, it was too late, because the entire village was no longer here. "
"Just as the two brothers were about to give up, the dying clan elder, who was lying in a pool of blood, used the last of his strength to say something. He told them to continue walking. Since you're already on the path, there's no turning back. You're the last hope of the Yan Village, and you have to fight on behalf of the Yan Village."
"At that moment, the two brothers saw the hope and trust in the clan elder's eyes."
"From that moment on, the two brothers from the fishing village swore that they would become the strongest. They would enter the central sea of the Yellow Spring and carve out a path for themselves to prove that they were not wrong. From then on, they never thought of giving up. From then on, no matter who their enemies were, they would not show mercy. They would take back everything they lost, ten times, a hundred times more. They would become the cruelest hunters, using any means necessary to strengthen themselves, to become stronger, until they could change everything!"
"Shan Kui's force, Blood Extermination Union, Sha Xiao's force … Along the way, no matter how strong their enemies were, they never stopped growing stronger. They would always come back after a desperate situation, becoming even more cruel and powerful than before, and then devour their enemies. This time, it will not change!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Lang raised the blade in his hand and drew a mark on his chest. Blood dripped down, but Yan Lang didn't even blink.
"This mark represents the humiliation you've brought me. If there's a chance in the future, I'll return it to you a hundred times, a thousand times more!"
"From now on, the Smoke Dragon Merchant Guild will leave the Yellow Spring Merchant Guild and start anew!" After saying that, Yan Lang strode to Yan Long, bent down, and picked him up. Then, he turned around and left without looking back.
Looking at Yan Lang leaving, the Sea King was expressionless, but there was a look of contemplation in his eyes.
At this moment, Elder Ying sighed.
"It's because there are people who want to change their fates and become strong that the Sea Domain becomes so interesting. Just like the Smoke Dragon Brothers!"
"What's the point of becoming strong? To enslave others? "the Sea King suddenly asked.
Elder Ying heard and couldn't help but laugh.
He then asked, "Do you want to be a good person or a bad person?"
The Sea King's expression froze. After thinking for a moment, he said,
"In this world, being a good person means that you're not far from death, so it's not up to me. It's the world that chose me to be a bad person!"
"Hehe, doesn't that mean that even if you want to be a good person, you still have to be a bad person, just to survive!"
The Sea King heard and nodded.
This was what he thought. The law of life in this world didn't allow the existence of good people, and good people would never have a good ending.
"But the real strong can decide whether they want to be a good person or a bad person. This is the right of the strong!"
"It's often said that the more virtuous a person is, the more things he can carry. But in fact, the people at the top of this world aren't necessarily kind people. On the contrary, there are more evil people than good people. On the contrary, those who live at the bottom and struggle for food have warmth for each other."
"What do you mean?" The Sea King's expression froze.
"What I mean is, kindness is built on the foundation that your strength is absolutely stronger than the other party. A weak person can't be kind to the strong. But to become strong, you can decide all your preferences, good or evil. No external force can affect your thoughts. This is what it means to be strong! That is true freedom! "
"That was what Yan Lang pursued. He was pure and kind by nature. He walked out of the fishing village and wanted to bring happiness to his clansmen. However, he was weak and could only go with the flow. A good person would not be able to grow in this world, so he became an evil person and grew by killing. However, the end of his goal was kindness. He only wanted to become strong and then decide everything for himself. Do you understand now?" Elder Ying looked at the Sea King and asked.
The Sea King was silent for a while and nodded, not really understanding.
In fact, his growth was completely different from Yan Lang's. He was born in the top force of the sea, the Mu Te Sea Nation. He didn't have to worry about food, and he didn't have to worry about the safety of his people. Because in that sea, they were the strongest existence, and all forces had to pay tribute to them!
And what drove him to grow was ambition and the desire for revenge. But as he grew, the Sea King never thought about what it meant to be strong.
Strong people were strong? That's right, but there was no upper limit to one's strength, and there was no way to measure how strong one was.
Gods? But above gods were ancient gods, and above ancient gods were great emperors.
Even the great emperors weren't the strongest.
At this moment, after listening to Yan Lang's story and Elder Ying's explanation, he suddenly understood.
The strong were the ones who could decide their own thoughts without being affected by external forces. Once they reached this stage, they were the strongest, and also the ones who chose their own fate.
Thinking of this, the Sea King couldn't help but nod again.
"I understand now!"
"No, you don't understand. I don't understand either, because we have never reached this height. We can only guess the thoughts of the experts with the bodies of ants. It is precisely because we have never been there that we have no way to know whether it is really as we think!"
Looking at Elder Ying, the Sea King couldn't help but be stunned.
"Do your best. I think highly of your potential, and I believe you'll make a name for yourself!"
Just as the Sea King was about to nod, Elder Ying continued.
"Before you, I also thought highly of five forces. Four of them died on this road to becoming strong, and the fifth is the Smoke Dragon Chamber of Commerce. They're in a more worrying situation now."
The Sea King was speechless.
The Sea King held back a curse in his heart, not knowing if he should say it.
"Just believe in yourself, it's useless to believe in me." At this moment, Elder Ying smiled and walked out of the spiritual cave.
At this moment, the Sea King suddenly looked at Elder Ying's back and shouted.
"Elder, is the Acheron Chamber of Commerce good or evil!"
"Exploiting many sea merchants, acting overbearingly, and even monopolizing many trade channels, cutting off the path of many forces to rise. It's a great evil!" Elder Ying said without turning his head.
"At the end of the Acheron Chamber of Commerce, is it good or evil?" the Sea King asked again.
"How would I know? I'm just a member of this evil force. How would I know if the person at the top is good or evil?" Elder Ying replied impatiently.
Just as the Sea King was about to ask again, he saw Elder Ying's figure disappear in a flash.
He sighed helplessly. It was rare to meet a super old man. He wanted to ask to broaden his horizons, but it was obvious that Elder Ying didn't want to answer anymore.
However, after listening to Elder Ying's words, the Sea King felt that he understood a lot.
At this moment, he suddenly thought, will I be able to reach that step, become a strong person, and decide my own fate?
An absurd idea even appeared in the Sea King's mind.
Overturn the Acheron Chamber of Commerce and replace it!
It's meaningless to speculate what others are thinking when they reach the end. Isn't it better to think with your own ideas?
The Sea King couldn't help but shiver at this thought.
What a wild idea. After spending so much time with the players, how did I become so unrealistic?
I want to fly before I learn how to run.
The Player Clan is brainless and unafraid of death. I can't learn from them!
