Chapter 860: Fragment of the Octoterra Map

Tian Jian replied slowly, “Many years ago, I fused my origin soul with the hall and borrowed its power to observe the world. I sensed a terrifyingly powerful energy from the Sea race and confirmed that it was the sea goddess. As for why I didn’t tell you all, do you believe this is good news? Knowing would actually make you all worse off, making you all worry.”

Everyone present understood. The news about the sea goddess caused them to experience an extremely great pressure; if it was possible, they would rather not hear about it.

“Now that Jian Chen’s taken the Winged Tiger God into the territory of the Sea race with him, what do you all think we should do?” A member of the ten protector clans said with a deep voice.

Many people present became extremely grim. With the Tian Yuan Continent’s current strength, the realm of the Sea race was a forbidden zone without any doubt. Even if they united all the power on the entire continent, they would not be able to fend off one of the four supreme champions that had surpassed Saint Emperor from the ancient times. Even if they worked with the Beast God Continent, they would probably still be unable to oppose the Sea race.

The protector clans were ancient clans that had survived from the ancient times. There were many records in the clans, so they knew about the strength and terror of those who had surpassed Saint Emperor extremely well.

“I find this to be rather fishy. Since the sea goddess is still alive, why have we not heard any news about her even after so much time? It has even made everyone believe that she already had passed away from old age.” analyzed an old man.

With that, many people first stared blankly, before their eyes began to twinkle in thought.

A middle-aged man said, “I think that’s reasonable. Since the sea goddess is still alive, why has she kept such a low profile? That doesn’t make sense. Is she perhaps hiding for something? Or has she always been asleep and has only just woken up?”

“A Saint King has a lifespan of six thousand years, while a Saint Emperor has ten thousand. With the sea goddess’s strength that has surpassed Saint Emperor, her lifespan will definitely be even longer but it’s already been so much time since the ancient times. No matter how long her life is, she shouldn’t be still alive.”

“Perhaps it’s just a strand of the sea goddess’s soul that she left behind?”

“If it’s just a strand of her soul, there’s nothing to fear.”

The people from the ten protector clans all discussed their views and ideas.

“The sea goddess saved Jian Chen at the most crucial moment. I think she already knows the existence of the Winged Tiger God too and will definitely take it. The Beast God Continent needs it even more urgently than us, so there’s bound to be conflict between the Sea race and the magical beasts. Why don’t we just watch on from a distance if this is the case and let both of them sustain great losses? You never know, we might even be able to fish up some spoils from it.”

“You’re right. And we can use the Beast God Continent to probe the situation of the sea goddess as well.”

…

Currently, a voice filled with rage roared out in the depths of some mountains abundant in the energy of the world. “Heavenly Enchantress you bitch. So much for me being so infatuated with you and yet you treat me like this. You actually stopped me from killing Jian Chen. You’re a wretched couple, a wretched couple I say! I, Bi Jian, will definitely make the two of you regret it!”

“Jian Chen you bastard, you son of a bitch. You took my love. I will definitely make you suffer so much that you wish you were dead. So what if you’ve run off to the Sea race? I won’t let any of your friends or family off the hook. I will make the Flame Mercenaries into a bloodbath.”

“Cough cough, Bi Jian, calm down. There’s a great elder from the Changyang clan guarding Jian Chen’s family. You must not act recklessly and remember to never clash with them openly. We still can’t offend the protector clans.” Bi Yifei’s weakened voice sounded from within the cave.

“Dad, I know, I know what I should do,” said Bi Jian with bloodshot eyes and ragged breath. The rage within him had already reached the utmost limit.

Changyang Zu Yeyun stared blankly out the window in a building toward the main door of the Changyang clan in Lore City, her face filled with sorrow.

“Kong’er, just where are you…” Changyang Zu Yeyun said miserably. In the recent years, she had not taken a single step out of Lore City, awaiting for her son’s return quietly. Even she herself no longer had any idea how many times she had said things along those lines.

“Sigh, there goes another few years. Kong’er lifespan is getting shorter too. It’s a pity that the world’s so big. We can’t find him at all.” Changyang Zu Yunxiao also sighed sorrowfully. He felt extremely miserable.

The Flame Mercenaries had also experienced an extremely great change in these four years. The original city walls had already been demolished and the construction of a city made out of tungsten alloy had begun too. Under the hard words of hundreds of thousand of workers, blocks of meter-wide tungsten alloy cubes were stacked up, already forming a city wall of over thirty meters in height. After four years, the reconstruction of Flame City had reached a third of the way there.

Meanwhile, the act of building the city by the Flame Mercenaries was so great that it shook up a portion of the continent and raised the attention of various powerful organizations.

Over these years, You Yue and Bi Lian both began to hand down matters gradually to their subordinates, devoting more time to cultivation.

Their constitution had been improved by the heavenly resources left behind by Jian Chen. They cultivated much faster than ordinary people and with the personal guidance from two Saint Rulers, Bi Hai, and Jiede Tai, they had already become Great Saint Masters.

Ming Dong, Tie Ta, Fatty, Yu Yifeng, Dugu Feng, and others spent the entire time in seclusion. They never appeared, so no one knew just how powerful they had grown to either.

In the highest room of a tower at the Huanggu clan, the patriarch stood courteously before a large metal door.

“Reporting to ancestor, I’ve already inquired about it. Your newly accepted disciple, Huang Luan, has reached the Third Cycle as an Earth Saint Master. She’s currently working hard on her cultivation under the personal guidance of the ancestor from the Huang family, Huang Tianba.”
