Du Lei felt that after the appearance of the subjugating true spirit, his world had undergone a great change.

However, he couldn't say it because he couldn't prove it. He was more afraid of being targeted by someone from the upper echelons.

If that were the case, wouldn't he be treated like a monster and studied?

That was why he couldn't wait to get rich and establish his own power.

”Your guess is right, I live on Earth under the ancient beasts' domination.” Back then, I was young and insensible. I stirred up the winds and rain on earth, finally angering Nuwa. She split my body into pieces, suppressing my truesoul. It was only when I met you that I managed to regain some of my memories. ”

The subjugating true spirit recalled, after he was killed, he was resentful towards the heavens and the earth, and a huge amount of resentment was generated. In the end, his truesoul sank to the bottom of the sea and met with the newly born Mermaid.

In order to ensure that his own truesoul did not sink into the sea of suffering.

He fused a strand of his own truesoul with the blood of the Mermaid Royal Family, and formed a so-called Saintess' bloodline.

Hearing this, Du Lei's expression shook, so this was how the Mermaid Holy Maiden's bloodline was passed down.

It seemed that the Mermaid had also received a portion of the inheritance from the Tyrant Lord. No wonder he was able to stand proudly at the bottom of the sea and established a underwater empire that was once more as powerful as the land empires.

After that, Hegemon had even fused a strand of his own truesoul into the statue that the Mermaid Tribe had made especially for him. In the end, Du Lei had managed to get it, merge it into his body, and inherit it.

”You want me to go down to the East Ocean in such a hurry, it can't be that you want to retrieve that thread of your true spirit which had fused with the Saintess' bloodline of the Mermaid, right?”

When he had first met Jia Ye and Zhao Linger, the subjugating true spirit had always been in a comatose state.

Now that he was at the bottom of the sea and was stimulated by an inexplicable power, he woke up.

The subjugating true spirit was silent for a long time, and did not answer the question.

Du Lei seemed to have sensed the hesitation in the subjugating true spirit.

He anxiously glanced at Zhao Linger.

Zhao Linger seemed to not have felt it, she only felt that there was an aura within Du Lei's body that made her fall in love with him, thus she had been rubbing against his forehead.

He was not aware of the danger.

Once the subjugating true spirit was able to extract her true spirit, what would happen to Zhao Linger?

Du Lei didn't know, but his intuition told him that Zhao Linger might die because of this.

”My truesoul has already completely fused with their bloodlines. After tens of thousands of years, the Mermaid's Saintess lineage is equivalent to my descendants. Rest assured, I will not extract their truesoul. ”

Du Lei suddenly realized that the Zhao Linger the subjugating true spirit was referring to earlier was not them. Could it be that there were other Saintess' bloodline s at the bottom of the sea?

But if there really was one, the Mermaid would definitely choose another Holy Maiden after Jia Ye went missing.

If not, the Mermaid Tribe would not have been torn into pieces, and occupied the territory to confront each other. This was definitely not good for the development of the Mermaid Tribe.

Thinking about that, Du Lei's body suddenly shivered. Behind him, there seemed to be another big hand pushing the development of the Mermaid, didn't the owner of that big hand want the Mermaid to have a Holy Maiden's inheritance?

Why is that?

Did the higher ups of the Mermaid Tribe know?

If they didn't know, then that would be good; if they did, then that would mean that the Merfolk Tribe had long since become a land of war.

He had originally only felt that there was some danger, but from the looks of it, there seemed to be an even deeper conspiracy?
