Chapter 287: The Great Era (4)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Black Mist Zone was vast and boundless. No one knew how big the entire Black Mist Zone was.
But God knew…
“The entire land in the Black Mist Zone was like an isolated island surrounded by the sea on all sides. This place is the eastern sea, or the East Sea for short.” “The sea is boundless, and the islands in the sea are scattered like stars. However, the islands are all small and not worth mentioning.”
There were two people standing by the sea. Both of them were dressed in black robes and had their heads covered. The person who spoke was one of them.
After this person finished speaking, the other person took advantage of the situation to speak.
“I know all this. Compared to this, there’s something else that makes me more curious.”
“What are you curious about?”
“Your identity.”
After saying this, he suddenly chuckled, “By the way, on account that we’re all subversives, 1’11 introduce myself first. My name is Eta, a clanless and homeless god.”
There were many clanless gods in the Black Mist Zone.
Most of these gods were the only ones who survived after their clans were destroyed. A small number of them were those who were unwilling to be restrained by their clan or take responsibility. Instead, they wandered in the Black Mist Zone alone. The strength of these gods was enough for them to live comfortably.
Hearing Eta’s words, the other person thought for a moment, then he smiled and asked, “Do you really want to know my identity?”
Eta simply nodded, “I do.”
“Then do you know that not many people who knew my identity are still alive?”
A faint dangerous aura emitted from the black-robed man, causing Eta to narrow his eyes. After a long time, Ita chuckled again and said, “It’s fine if you don’t want to say it, but why do you have to say such ruthless words… In short, you have to give me a name, right? Do you feel good if I keep calling you “Hey, Hey?”
Eta gave him a way out, and the black-robed man did not refuse.
“Just call me Qi.”
“Alright… Mr. Qi. According to the contact, you make the decision this time and I’ll assist you. Speaking of which, I still don’t know why we came to the seaside of the East Sea.”
As soon as Eta finished speaking, Qi just pricked up his ears to listen. A moment later, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the other end of the sea level.
“There, we’re here for that.”
Eta looked into the distance.
But he saw nothing.
This made Eta’s heart sink, but he remained calm on the surface.
About ten minutes later, faint waves appeared. Then, there were noises coming from the bottom of the sea in the distance.
It seemed as though there were thousands of soldiers and horses walking towards the coastline from the bottom of the sea.
At this moment, Eta raised his eyebrows and looked at Qi much more solemnly.
Qi ignored Eta and just spoke calmly.
“Sea beasts, a type of exotic beast.”
“I remember that in the era of the Beast King, exotic beasts were very powerful, and 80% of the exotic beast faction was made up of sea beasts.”
“After the Beast King was defeated, it retreated into the Hundred Thousand Mountains with part of the land beasts. However, even more sea beasts crawled into the four seas and were never heard of again.”
“From that moment on, the sea became a forbidden area for all clans… It was as if there was a clear dividing line between sea beasts and all the other clans. They minded their own business.”
At this point, Qi paused for a moment, and said, “However, it’s actually not impossible for us to have interactions.”
Eta had already sensed that Qi’s strength and identity were very likely to far exceed his imagination.
He could not help but reply humbly, “What interaction?”
Qi replied, “There are always some intelligent races chosen by the Supreme God who love water and are unable to leave the marine environment.”
“There are also some races that can’t stay on land anymore and can only retreat into the four seas that are considered forbidden areas.”
“As time passed, a type of ecological environment completely different from the land was born in the four seas… The relationship between the people and mutated beasts there was also much more harmonious than those on land.”
It was only at this moment that Eta vaguely realized something.
Looking at the increasingly turbulent waves in the distance, Eta could not help but ask, “So this time, our subversives seem to be preparing to play a big game…”
Qi shook his head again, “It’s not that we subversives want to play big.”
“It’s because there are too many existences. They’ve long wanted to play big in this damn place.”
Qi’s voice contained immense hatred and dissatisfaction.
Eta could not help but fall silent when he heard this. Clearly, he had thought of something.
In the core area of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
To humans, the core area of the Hundred Thousand Mountains was undoubtedly a forbidden area.
However, to the “gods”, there was no absolute forbidden area in the entire Black Mist Zone. This place was no exception.
The Divine Spirit naturally knew that the core area of the Hundred Thousand Mountains was ruled by the four exotic beasts under the former Beast King. They were Azure, Bai Xun, Blackmond, and Emperor Yao.
The four beast groups divided the core area of the entire Hundred Thousand Mountains. They were isolated from the world and lived quite comfortably here.
However, today, because of the arrival of a certain subversive, the originally peaceful life in the core area of the Hundred Thousand Mountains no longer existed.
A huge commotion broke out between the four clans.
“It’s our duty to rebuild the glory of the Beast King!”
The Blackmond Beast King stepped on the Azure Beast King’s corpse and roared at the sky. Behind it, the Bai Xun Beast King, Emperor Yao Beast King, bowed.
Suddenly, a voice came from the side.
“Then, Sir Blackmond, it’s settled between you and us subversives.”
The huge beast named Blackmond panted heavily, white smoke spewing from its nostrils.
“Of course! The people of the Beast King are not people who go back on their word and forget their ancestors!”
As it spoke, it even stepped hard on the corpse of the Azure Beast King, as if the Azure Beast King was the one who forgot its ancestor.
The subversive just smiled and casually threw out a crystal ball.
“Here’s the deposit.”
Looking at the dense liquid in the crystal ball, Blackmond’s eyes burned. “Beast King’s blood! Where did you get the Beast King’s blood?!”
Of course, the subversive would not say that the Mother Tree was in charge of the wholesale of Beast King’s blood according to tons. He just smiled and said, “I don’t know the source, but 1 think it should be some secret channel. It’s extremely difficult to obtain this thing. 1 think this 500 grams of Beast King blood already shows our sincerity, right?”
Blackmond nodded repeatedly, extremely satisfied with this cooperation.
Lu Ming was awakened by the commotion in the core area of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Judging from the time, it was probably when Blackmond killed Azure. Because the distance was too far, even though the two of them had explosive combat strength and Lu Ming’s perception range was extremely wide, he could only barely hear the sound. So, Lu Ming did not know what exactly happened.
In the blink of an eye, he threw this matter to the back of his mind.
Lu Ming began to think about another problem.
“How long has it been?”
If he used the Void Realm to assist in his cultivation, it was easy to cause a time perception confusion.
Of course, this was not a big problem. He just simply adapted to it.
After a few seconds, Lu Ming suddenly nodded.
“It’s been two months.”
That’s right, two months had passed since he arrived at Frost Lake.
He opened his attribute panel again.
At this moment, Lu Ming’s attributes came into view..
