We agreed to set sail, so you'd become the ruler of the deep sea?

Chapter 386 Rebirth: I Am the [Eternal Coffin]?
The first anomaly that Xia En noticed was—

He hadn't moved at all, yet his perspective seemed to be moving forward.

And then, after a moment of careful observation.

To Xia En's astonishment, he couldn't even feel the existence of his own eyes, limbs, or body!
just like……

His body was fixed in a closed space.

They could only passively observe everything around them.

Thinking about this, Shane couldn't help but come up with a bold and absurd conjecture.

"Am I... currently inside the [Eternal Coffin]?!"

It was the movement of the [Eternal Coffin] that changed his perspective.

Upon realizing this possibility, Shane's mood was initially strange, and then a sense of worry arose.

after all.

He entered the Eternal Coffin with Jane, Karlless, and Dark Ice.

However, at this moment, Xia En did not sense their presence.

So where exactly were they teleported to?
But is it safe?

However, on the other hand...

Shane's intuition told him that Carles and the others were most likely safe and sound.

Or rather.

In reality, he was the only one truly trapped in this bizarre situation.

Then again.

Right now, even if Shane is worried about Karlless and the others, he doesn't have the energy to do anything.

Who made it possible for him to lose even the ability to act independently at this point?

They could only watch helplessly as events unfolded in the outside world.

After trying for a while...

Shaun finally discovered a way to adjust the viewing angle.

then.

He shifted his gaze to what was in front of him and suddenly realized...

It turned out that there was a slightly petite body beneath him.

Even though the other person was dressed in a black robe and wore a hood, Xia En still recognized him at a glance—

She was none other than Lyra, who had just disappeared before his eyes!
Xia En was immediately overjoyed and realized his predicament.

It can be confirmed that he is currently inside the [Eternal Coffin].

His perspective at this moment is that of the [Eternal Coffin].

In other words.

What he is experiencing now is probably something that happened in the past on the [Eternal Coffin].

Upon closer examination, Lyra's use of the "Eternal Coffin" as an anchor point is most likely for this reason.

Xia En's mood suddenly became somewhat strange.

"what is this?"

"Reborn as the [Eternal Coffin]?"

Suppressing the strange emotions in his heart, Xia En focused his attention on the scene in front of him.

not difficult to see.

The town in front of us should be located somewhere in the Great Yan Kingdom.

However, its timeline is much earlier than that of the later prosperous Great Yan Kingdom.

That's why it looks so barren and backward.

It is filled with the harsh and cold atmosphere unique to the far north.

The reason why Leila was questioned with suspicion is quite simple.

Her figure was already considered tall for a woman, but compared to this [Eternal Coffin], she still appeared somewhat petite and slender.

They were carrying such a huge coffin on their backs.

It looks suspicious no matter how you look at it, and it's hard not to attract the attention of others.

At this time.

Xia En also keenly realized something.

The Eternal Coffin seems unable to be placed in a relic such as a spatial ring?
This may be because it contains some kind of spacetime law within itself, which is mutually exclusive with the spatial device.

This is why Lyra had to carry it on her back and travel alone.

Such a solitary journey carrying a coffin is probably something that needs to be measured over hundreds of years.

Thinking of this, Shane suddenly recalled the strange behavior of the Truth Society members.

Whether the special spatial ring in his hand can hold the [Eternal Coffin] is another matter.

To know.

The "Eternal Coffin" in that memory scene was clearly just a fake created by the Great Yan.

Isn't the real entity still located on Shane's Black Swan?

Why would members of the Truth Society attach such importance to a counterfeit item and send so many people to seize it?

Xia En still remembers.

As they were about to touch the [Eternal Coffin], the member referred to it as—

"The key to a new world?"

What does this mean?
The more Xia En pondered, the more doubts arose within him.

But right now, the developments in the situation have caught Xia En's attention.

After hearing their questions.

Leila countered, "Is this the Great Yan Kingdom?"

"It really is a remote and desolate place."

Upon hearing her voice, the two townspeople exchanged a surprised glance.

"woman?"

"And you actually know the name 'Great Yan Kingdom'?"

"It's only been half a year since the King of Cinder announced the founding of his kingdom, hasn't it?"

Six months may not be a short time for a person.

But for a country, it is only the beginning.

It's just like a newborn baby.

Not to mention, the Great Yan Kingdom's sea is located in the far north, a place far from the southern continent.

Information flow was extremely restricted.

Many kingdoms on the continent probably have no idea that such a country has been quietly established.

At that moment, the two immediately realized that Leila was an outsider.

after all.

That's all the residents there are in their small town.

Almost everyone there was someone I knew.

The sudden appearance of such a suspicious-looking man in black robes naturally made it easy to identify this immediately.

Although it was clear that Lyra was a lone, foreign woman.

But neither of the men had any improper thoughts.

It's not because the people of the Great Yan Kingdom are simple and honest, or that they are kind-hearted.

But simply because...

They knew that someone who could cross the wasteland and come to the far north alone could not possibly be a weak woman with no strength to even kill a chicken.

The more bizarrely shaped a person is, the less likely they are to be messed with.

but.

As men in this town, they couldn't possibly remain indifferent to Leila's actions.

Just these days.

In other parts of the Great Yan Kingdom, several bloody massacres of towns have occurred.

This caused great anxiety among the residents, who were afraid to even leave their homes.

Only then did they become wary of outsiders and maintain a high level of vigilance.

Even though they were a little uneasy, after hesitating for a moment, one of the town's residents still asked.

"Madam, what brings you to our town?"

Leila didn't hide her purpose and spoke directly.

"I have come to the Great Yan Kingdom to find the King of Cinder."

"Excuse me, in which city is Xinwang currently located?"

"Do you have a map of the entire Great Yan Kingdom? I'd like to trade for supplies or money."

Hearing this, the two of them couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief.

We can communicate and directly state our purpose, indicating...

This outsider is most likely not the same kind of person as the murderer who massacred several towns.

if not.

The other side wouldn't waste words with them; they simply went on a killing spree.

However, there's the issue of Leila.

The two of them looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Madam, we are merely residents of this remote town." "How would you know the whereabouts of the Lord of Cinder?"

"However, I've heard that the Lord of Cinder seems to be building a city called 'Burning Flame' recently."

"You can try your luck there."

"As for where exactly the City of Fiery Flames is, we don't know."

After listening, Leila was not discouraged and nodded.

"I understand."

Seemingly sensing that Leila's attitude was rather friendly, the expressions of the two townspeople softened slightly, no longer as stiff as they had been at the beginning.

One of them even kindly offered a reminder.

"Young lady, I don't know what business you have with Lord Cinder?"

"But now, our Great Yan Kingdom has only just been established, and King Xin must have a lot to do."

"It won't be easy to see him, so you'd better be prepared."

Leila smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, I have plenty of patience."

From the perspective of the [Eternal Coffin], Shaen's lips curled into a knowing smile.

An elf, a species that lives forever.

Leila certainly has the right to say that.

Seeing the outsider's resolute attitude, the residents of the two towns stopped trying to persuade him and offered one more reminder.

"By the way, young lady, things haven't been peaceful in the Great Yan Kingdom lately."

"A number of unidentified thugs are roaming around various towns and committing many horrific crimes."

“There are several towns where not a single person was left alive, so you'd better be careful.”

Upon hearing this, Xia En immediately realized what was happening.

In the underground research institute, he learned that the die-hard elements among the [Ice People] not only secretly defied the King of Cinder's orders, but also concealed their identities to massacre innocent civilians and assassinate [Great Yan] officials throughout the [Great Yan Kingdom].

Obvious.

The two town residents were referring to just such an incident.

Think about it now.

The Lord of Cinder used the "Crows of the Ice" who had committed capital crimes as experimental subjects.

It doesn't seem that excessive.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

That's the real reason why the King of Cinder did this.

otherwise.

How can the grievances of those innocent citizens of the Great Yan Kingdom be washed away?

at this time.

After hearing what the two were saying, Leila did not give a reply immediately.

Instead, he looked in a direction not far away.

The two men were puzzled.

The man who had given the warning earlier asked, "Miss, what's wrong...?"

Before he could finish speaking, his companion grabbed him.

His companion trembled slightly and silently backed away, pulling his hand.

Until then.

Even the slow-witted man realized something was wrong.

He turned his head to look in the direction Leila was looking, and his breath hitched.

I saw.

On the pale wasteland, a figure dressed in blood-red clothes and wearing a white mask emerged from behind a hill.

His robes looked as if they were stained with blood, a glaring red that made one feel slightly uncomfortable.

Thick, fresh blood kept dripping from the corner of her clothes.

On the gray-white earth, specks of mottled scarlet were left.

This indicates that he had just completed a massacre not long ago.

That person constantly exuded a fierce aura, enough to make those with lower cultivation levels tremble with fear.

"Hehe... Little girl, I originally planned to wait until you left before making my move."

The middle-aged man chuckled coldly.

"But since you discovered my existence beforehand, I have no choice but to kill you as well."

And the moment they saw each other.

Xia En's state of mind also fluctuated for a moment.

Because even if the other person is wearing a mask.

Based on the aura emanating from the other party, he could also determine—

This masked man is none other than the Elder of the "Ice People," who was recently imprisoned deep within an underground research institute, wearing countless shackles.

really.

Just as Xiao Wan said, this elder had slaughtered several towns in the Great Yan Kingdom.

This nameless town was originally one of his targets.

His plans were slightly disrupted only by Leila's arrival.

At this moment.

The two townspeople clearly realized that the masked man was the recently active thug, and their expressions changed drastically.

"Run! Run!"

After leaving those words, they fled in panic.

After all, the two are far apart in strength.

Even if they stayed here, they wouldn't be of any help.

The masked man, or rather the Grand Elder, gave this a cruel smile.

"Run away, because you can't escape my grasp anyway."

A savage gleam of pleasure appeared in his eyes.

It can be said.

He was simply enjoying the fear and despair these people who had polluted the far north showed as they fled.

But this time.

The elder glanced at Layla unexpectedly.

"Aren't you going to run away yet?"

Lyra gently placed the Eternal Coffin on the ground and then spoke softly.

"You're the one who should be running away."

"Insanity!"

The great elder snorted coldly.

Just the next moment.

His figure transformed into a blood-red shadow, arriving before Lyra at a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

Compared to the frail, dying old man in that underground research institute.

The Grand Elder before them was undoubtedly at the peak of his strength.

With just one move, an extremely terrifying icy power swept towards Lyra from all directions.

It was as if the entire space was about to be frozen completely.

however.

What neither side expected was...

Just as the icy power surged forth.

The long-dormant [Eternal Coffin] suddenly reacted.

The crystal coffin opened slightly, swallowing the elder's icy power like a gushing dregs.

in a blink.

The biting cold that felt like ice had vanished.

Even after that, the Eternal Coffin still faintly exuded a sense of unfulfilled desire.

It's as if it's saying, "I want more!"
"Ok?"

At this moment, not only the Grand Elder, but even Lyra, the holder of the Eternal Coffin, showed a surprised expression.

This was the first time she had ever known that the crystal coffin possessed such abilities.

From the perspective of the [Eternal Coffin], Shaen felt a cold power surge into his body.

It felt surprisingly comfortable?

Suddenly, a strange thought popped into Xia En's mind.

Could it be that.

Was it after this battle that Lyra developed the ability of the Eternal Coffin to contain icy power?
This situation left Xia En somewhat bewildered, both amused and exasperated.

Meanwhile, the battle on the field was not yet over.

Although the Grand Elder's expression changed slightly due to this sudden turn of events, he was not so much so that he would completely lose his fighting ability.

He concealed his secret power within his body and cautiously launched an attack on Leila.

Seeing this, Lyra drew a slender longsword and thrust it at the Grand Elder.
