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

Chapter 429 [The Ancient Wars of the Gods] [The Whereabouts of the Gods]

of course.

Shaen was not complacent because of the many ancient dragons bowing down.

He knew perfectly well that the vast majority of ancient dragons bowed their heads not because of him, but out of respect for the [King of Dragons].

That's why we have this breathtaking scene before us.

If Xia Enzhen really thinks he can roam freely in the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm] like this, then he is absolutely courting death.

But even so.

The people on board the Black Swan were still deeply moved by the sight of countless ancient dragons bowing their heads, and secretly felt a sense of pride and honor.

Only their captains could receive such treatment in the Dragon's Nest.

Soon, Xia En took a deep breath to calm his inner turmoil, and then responded solemnly.

"Your Excellency, King of Dragons, I only did what I was supposed to do."

"After all, I can't just stand by and watch [Hui Si Ming] invade our world."

[King of Ten Thousand Dragons] nodded slightly, a hint of approval in his silver eyes.

Its sound is like an ancient echo, deep and resonant.

"It seems that the rumors spread by humans are indeed true."

"You are indeed a humble hero."

"Perhaps that's why you were able to gain Xiange's approval and become her partner."

"However, there is one thing that I don't quite understand."

The King of Dragons paused for a moment, then continued, "Why have you come to the Dragon's Nest Secret Realm?"

“I think you didn’t come here just to send the stringed instrument home.”

"Yes."

Xia En readily admitted, "We came to visit the Dragon's Nest Secret Realm partly to explore the past and lost memories of the String Song."

"On the other hand, it's for a legendary artifact—"

"【The Shuttle of Destiny】!"

Shaun's voice echoed through the sea of ​​clouds, clearly reaching the ears of the King of Dragons and the surrounding ancient dragons.

"【The Shuttle of Destiny】?"

The King of Dragons narrowed his silver eyes slightly, his tone carrying a hint of profound meaning.

"How do you know about the existence of this divine artifact?"

The String Song, standing to the side, spoke up: "In my remaining memories, I vaguely remember that it should be in the hands of the Ancient Dragon now."

"That's why I came to the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm] with Captain Shane."

"I see."

[King of Ten Thousand Dragons] paused for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"It seems that the matter of the [Weaving Shuttle of Fate] has left a deep impression on you."

"After all, it was you, String Song, who ultimately used the [Weaving Shuttle of Destiny] to open the gate for us to cross the [Secret Realm]."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Xia En was startled.

He never imagined that there was such an unknown connection between the String Song and the [Weaving Shuttle of Destiny].

But on the other hand.

Xia En suddenly realized that the [Fate Shuttle] was the artifact of the [Goddess of Fate], possessing the power to travel to another secret realm.

Why would such a magical instrument end up in the hands of a string singer?

Could it be that there was some kind of antagonistic relationship between Gu Long and the Goddess of Fate?

Combined with what he had learned before about the ancient dragon's hostility towards the [Storm Goddess], Xia En vaguely guessed what was going on.

His thoughts raced, and all sorts of possibilities flashed through his mind.

The feud between the Ancient Dragon Clan and the [Storm Goddess].

String Song once used the [Weaving Shuttle of Destiny] to open the gate to cross the [Secret Realm].

And the [Fate Shuttle] as an artifact of the [Goddess of Fate]...

These clues all seem to point to a startling truth—

There is a deep-seated conflict and even hostility between the ancient dragon clan and certain deities!
Perhaps this is why the ancient dragon left the Seven Seas World and migrated to the Dragon's Nest Secret Realm!

As for Xian Ge, as a respected figure in Gu Long's works, he clearly participated in these major historical events.

Xia En's gaze involuntarily fell on Xiange, his feelings quite complicated.

The bronze dragon he raised from a young age carried such a heavy past.

String Song seemed to sense Xia En's gaze, turned its head, and a trace of confusion and determination flashed in its bronze dragon eyes.

"I once... used the [Weaving Shuttle of Fate]?"

Suddenly, Xiange's body trembled slightly.

"Captain Shane, I... I seem to have remembered something."

The stringed instrument's voice was low and trembling slightly.

"God War..."

Xia En raised an eyebrow: "God War?"

"That's right, it's a war of gods!"

String Song said firmly, "The ancient dragons of the ancient times once fought a great battle with the gods!"

Upon hearing this, the ancient dragons around them let out low roars, as if responding to String Song's words.

A hint of approval flashed in the eyes of the King of Dragons.

“Yes, my old friend, you’ve finally remembered.”

"Back then, our ancient dragon clan had no choice but to fight against those gods who tried to control us in order to gain freedom."

"And you and your people waged a great battle against the Goddess of Fate, successfully seizing the Shuttle of Fate and opening the gate to the Dragon's Nest Secret Realm for us."

"But as a price, the bronze dragon race was almost completely wiped out, and even you have exhausted all your strength and can only fall into a long slumber."

Upon hearing this, Xia En was filled with shock and disbelief.

He never imagined that such a "war of gods" between ancient dragons and deities had occurred in the ancient times of the Seven Seas World.

This also explains Xia En's previous doubts.

That's why the ancient dragons were forced to leave the Seven Seas World and migrate to the Dragon's Nest.

at the same time.

An improvement flashed on the panel.

[The mystery of the ancient dragon's migration has been solved with a 56% increase in density!]

[Overall Qualifications: 68 → 70!]

However, at this moment, what intrigued Xia En even more than the slight increase in strength was...

Why would the gods wage such a war against the ancient dragons?

Moreover, after careful consideration.

Shane realized a problem he had subconsciously overlooked before—

Where are the gods of the Seven Seas now?

Although Shane had some contact with the statues of the Storm Goddess and the Elf Goddess.

But it seems there has never been any real communication with their consciousness.

Moreover, if their consciousness still exists within the Seven Seas World.

When the Seven Seas World was invaded by the Filthy God and the Great Sin Apostles, why did none of these deities appear?

While Xia En was pondering these questions.

A faint light flickered in Xian Ge's dragon eyes, as if he were trying to piece together those broken fragments of memory.

Her voice was low and hoarse, carrying an indescribable heaviness.

"So... I was involved in that kind of war."

"My people all died in that war of the gods..."

The King of Dragons nodded slowly, his silver eyes revealing sorrow and respect. "Yes, String Song, you are a hero of our race."

"It is because of your sacrifice that we were able to break free from the shackles of the gods and come to this pure land that belongs to us."

"However, the cost of that war was too heavy; the Bronze Dragon race was almost wiped out."

"And you... have also lost almost all your power and memories."

Xia En was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and asked solemnly.

"So, where is the [Shuttle of Destiny] now?"

Is it still in the [Dragon's Nest]?

The King of Ten Thousand Dragons spoke slowly.

"The shuttle of fate is indeed in the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm]."

"However, it has been sealed deep within the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm]."

"Sealed? Why?"

Xia En was somewhat puzzled.

The King of Dragons explained, "The Shuttle of Destiny is the divine artifact of the Goddess of Destiny, and there is naturally an unbreakable connection between it and the Goddess of Destiny."

"If it is not sealed, the Goddess of Fate may very well use this connection to find the location of the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm]."

"At that time, it may trigger a second great war between ancient dragons and gods."

Upon hearing these words, Xia En's heart stirred.

Yes, even he and Jane could see the existence of the so-called "Thread of Fate".

As the legendary goddess of fate, her mastery of the "Threads of Fate" will only become more profound.

It's not impossible that she used the [Weaving Shuttle of Fate] to find the location of the Dragon's Nest Secret Realm.

Thinking of this, Xia En couldn't help but ask.

"Where are the Fates of the Seven Seas and the other deities now?"

[King of Ten Thousand Dragons] paused for a moment, a deep light flashing in his silver eyes, as if recalling distant past events.

Its voice was deep, carrying an indescribable heaviness.

"The whereabouts of the gods... is a question that even we cannot fully answer."

"The ancient war between the gods was not only a war between us ancient dragons and the gods, but also a struggle between the gods themselves."

"The goddesses of fate, storms, and elves... these deities who once ruled the Seven Seas World all perished or went into hiding during that great war."

[King of Ten Thousand Dragons] paused, then continued.

"The outcome of the war of the gods was that the authority of the gods was weakened and their power gradually faded from the Seven Seas World."

"Some gods chose to slumber, some disappeared into the river of time, and others... left the Seven Seas World and entered the Secret Sea!"

"The Storm Goddess and the Fate Goddess belong to the last category."

"They left a portion of their power in the Seven Seas World, but their true forms have entered the Secret Sea in search of a path to advancement."

Upon hearing this, Xia En was startled.

Enter the [Secret Sea]?
That's right!

Since [Hui Si Ming] can invade [Seven Seas World]...

The deities of the Seven Seas World can naturally leave the Seven Seas World to explore the unknown Secret Sea.

after all.

For any being, the desire to become stronger and rise to a higher level is an instinctive urge.

This is especially true for the gods who already stand at the pinnacle of the Seven Seas World.

This is somewhat similar to the "ascension to the upper realm" in cultivation novels.

However, the fact that the statues of deities such as the Seven Seas Storm Goddess still have the power to perform their functions shows that...

Although some deities entered the [Secret Sea], they still left behind some of their divine power in the [Seven Seas World].

Xia En pressed for more information.

"So, is the invasion of the [Filthy Fate] and the [Great Sin Apostle] related to the disappearance of the gods?"

[King of Ten Thousand Dragons] shook his head slightly: "We cannot be certain about that."

"But the departure of the gods has indeed caused the Seven Seas world to lose a certain balance."

"Perhaps it is precisely because of the absence of the gods that evil forces from the outside world have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation."

Xia En pondered for a moment.

Although breaking the seal on the [Weaving Shuttle of Fate] might attract the attention of the [Goddess of Fate].

However, in order to find the clues left by Lyra in the [Elven Realm] and truly resolve the hidden danger of [Filthy Fate],

Shaen must obtain the [Fate Weaver].

His gaze was firm; he had already made his decision.

Xia En raised his head and looked at the [King of Ten Thousand Dragons], his tone solemn and sincere.

"Your Excellency, King of Ten Thousand Dragons, I understand that breaking the seal on the Weaver of Destiny may bring risks."

"But for the future of the Seven Seas world, I must try to obtain it."

"The invasion of [Hui Si Ming] will not be stopped by a single failure."

“If we do not take action, the whole world will be plunged into endless darkness and chaos.”

"And the [weaving shuttle of fate] may be the key to changing our destiny."

The String Song beside him looked at the King of Ten Thousand Dragons with equal sincerity and said.

"Perhaps we can apply another seal to temporarily block the [Weaving Shuttle of Fate] from contacting the outside world."

"Unlock it after leaving the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm]."

[King of Ten Thousand Dragons] remained silent for a moment, his silver eyes flashing with complex light.

It slowly spoke, "Captain Shane, if you came alone..."

"I probably won't hand over the [Weaving Shuttle of Fate] to you."

“But since Xiange has spoken up, I naturally won’t refuse her request.”

"After all, the [Fate Shuttle] was originally a divine artifact that she obtained, and we other ancient dragons were merely keeping it safe for her."

"Now, it's time to hand it back to String Song."

Xian Ge's body trembled slightly.

She said earnestly, "I will use it well."

[King of Ten Thousand Dragons] nodded: "Then, follow me."

It was trying to take Shane and the others to the location where the [Weaving Shuttle of Destiny] was sealed.

But that's it.

boom--

A muffled thud came from the distant sea of ​​clouds.

Immediately afterwards, a dark crack appeared to be torn open in the distant sky.

A thick, dark liquid kept gushing out from the crack.

In the blink of an eye, a sea of ​​clouds was dyed black.

A foul and decaying aura rapidly spread outwards from the crack as its core.

Upon seeing this, Xia En's pupils shrank instantly.

"This is... the Black Tide!?"

Xia En's heart sank, his gaze fixed on the gradually spreading dark crack in the distance.

That familiar yet nauseating aura was none other than the power of the Black Tide!

But the problem is.

Why did the Black Tide suddenly appear in the Dragon's Nest Secret Realm?
"Wait... 'intersection'! It's 'intersection'!"

Xia En suddenly remembered what Vivian had said before.

The intersection of the destroyed Seven Seas World and the present Seven Seas World is located in the Sea of ​​Annihilation.

And coincidentally, the entrance to the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm] is also located in that sea area.

The intersection of these three factors may have been a coincidence!
