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

Chapter 433 [Goddess of Life] [The Black Swan's Request]

Looking at the silver-white portal in front of me.

Xia En's mood was a mixture of anticipation and a touch of solemnity.

As the artifact of the Goddess of Fate, the Shuttle of Fate naturally contains extraordinary power.

Perhaps, upon coming into contact with the [Shuttle of Fate], one will be noticed by the [Goddess of Fate].

but.

In order to reach the [Elf Realm], we need to find the clues left by Lyra.

This was also to deal with the threats from the [Filthy Fate] and the [Corrupted Apostle].

He needs to obtain the power of the [Fate Weaver].

With that thought in mind, Xia En no longer hesitated and looked at Xian Ge behind him.

"Xiange, let's go."

"Yes, Captain Shane."

Then, Xia En and Xiange stepped into the silver light gate together.

The moment Shane stepped through the door, the surrounding scenery changed abruptly.

The surrounding light suddenly dimmed, as if we were in a dark underground space.

Gradually.

Xia En's eyes gradually adjusted to the surrounding darkness.

He found himself standing in a vast underground space.

The surrounding walls are inlaid with countless glowing runes, emitting a faint and mysterious light, as if telling ancient secrets.

An ancient and heavy atmosphere permeated the air.

just like……

Time stood still here for countless years.

"Is this the place where the [Shuttle of Destiny] is located?"

Xia En murmured softly, his gaze sweeping around.

And this time.

The gentle voice of the King of Ten Thousand Dragons rang in Xia En and the other's ears.

"This is [Dragon Abyss], located below [Dragon's Nest Peak]."

"Only here can we isolate ourselves from the perception of the Goddess of Fate."

Xia En nodded knowingly: "I see."

at this time.

String Song noticed something on the nearby wall.

"Captain Shane, look! On the stone wall!"

Xia En looked in the direction that Xiange was pointing.

Under the faint light of the mysterious runes, ancient murals appeared on the rock walls on both sides.

On the mural, ancient dragons are roaring angrily at the sky.

It seems to be expressing hostility towards some high and mighty being in the sky.

And within the clouds, many pairs of cold and indifferent eyes are drawn.

It seems that this was the deity that the [King of Dragons] spoke of attempting to enslave the ancient dragon race.

The content recorded on these murals is also very clear.

That is...

A war of gods that took place in ancient times!

as predicted.

As Shane's gaze moved to the next few murals, he saw the ancient dragons locked in a fierce battle with the beings in the sky.

The fierce battle is vividly depicted in the mural.

The ancient dragons spewed flames, thunder, and ice, engaging in a fierce battle with the gods in the sky.

The corpses of ancient dragons kept falling from the sky.

Many gods were also injured in this great battle, shedding golden-red divine blood that dyed the entire sky red.

Each mural seems to tell the story of that era of blood and fire.

The roars of the ancient dragons and the indifference of the gods intertwine to create a series of breathtaking scenes.

And soon.

Xia En spotted a familiar figure in these murals.

String Song's gaze fell on the same spot.

She murmured, "That's...me?"

Yes, what appeared in that mural was a majestic and handsome bronze dragon with its wings spread!
The bronze dragon stands out prominently in the mural.

Its body is enormous and elegant, its scales shimmer with a bronze-like luster, and its wings, when spread, seem to blot out the sky.

Its dragon eyes revealed an indomitable will, as if it were fighting against those high and mighty gods.

Xian Ge's gaze was fixed on the bronze dragon in the mural, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

She whispered, "That was... me in the past?"

Xiange felt both familiar and unfamiliar with her former self before her reincarnation.

After all, she had lost part of her past memories.

Moreover, in Xuan Ge's current memories, Xia En is her closest companion and family.

Xiange's feelings towards those former clansmen were inevitably somewhat complicated.

at this time.

Xia En gently patted Xiange's shoulder, his tone both gentle and firm.

"No matter what happened in the past, you are who you are now."

"We'll face the future together, and that's enough."

Xian Ge nodded, took a deep breath to calm herself, and continued to follow Xia En forward.

As the two explored further, the content of the murals gradually changed.

Led by the reincarnation of the String Song, the Bronze Dragon Clan launched a desperate charge against a goddess whose face was veiled.

Countless bronze dragons perished in that great battle.

In the end, only String Song remained of the entire Bronze Dragonflight.

After such a heroic sacrifice, the Goddess of Fate was defeated.

Moreover, a mysterious object in her possession was obtained by Xian Ge.

The object was depicted as an intricate shuttle shape, radiating an eerie light, as if it could manipulate time and fate.

"That's the [Weaving Shuttle of Destiny]?"

A hint of anticipation flashed in Xia En's eyes.

The stringed musician on screen is holding the "Weaving Shuttle of Destiny," as if activating its secret power.

Then, a portal to another [secret realm] was opened.

The other ancient dragons were able to enter and arrive at the present-day [Dragon's Nest].

However, because she had exhausted too much power, Xiange fell into a deep sleep beneath the glacier.

This is why she appeared in the Zephyr Plateau and was discovered by the Lord of Cinder.

As [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] said before.

String Song briefly used the [Fate Weaver].

The history depicted in the murals is consistent with the previous accounts of the "King of Ten Thousand Dragons".

But at this moment...

A question suddenly popped into Xia En's mind.

Who left these murals?
Could it be that Gu Long carved this history into these rock walls?

But did the ancient dragons really possess such carving skills?

I thought about it for a while but still couldn't figure it out.

Xia En simply asked the King of Ten Thousand Dragons about his doubts.

Upon hearing this question, the King of Dragons hesitated for a moment, but quickly replied.

"In fact, the one who left us these murals is the incarnation of the Goddess of Life."

"[Goddess of Life]?"

Upon hearing this, Xia En was taken aback.

He vaguely remembered that the deity worshipped by the Elven race was the Goddess of Life!
The King of Dragons explained, "During the War of the Gods, not all the gods participated in the siege of the ancient dragons."

"The Goddess of Life is one of them."

"In a sense, she is the mother of all beings in the Seven Seas World, and she has a heart full of compassion for all living beings."

“Unlike the Goddess of Fate, she harbors no hostility towards the ancient dragon race, and even sympathizes with their plight to some extent.” The King of Dragons’ voice was deep and resonant, as if recalling that distant past.

"After the [War of the Gods] ended, the incarnation of the [Goddess of Life] descended upon the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm] and left us these murals."

"She hopes that through these murals, future generations will know about the struggles and sacrifices of the ancient dragon clan, and that the ancient dragons will remember that history."

Xia En pondered for a moment, then asked.

"Your Excellency, King of Dragons, since the Goddess of Life holds goodwill toward the Ancient Dragon Clan..."

"Did she ever help you fight against the [Goddess of Fate] or any other deity?"

The voice of the King of Dragons carried a hint of regret.

"Although the Goddess of Life sympathizes with us, she has not directly intervened in the God War."

"Her power lies more in maintaining the balance of the world and the continuation of life."

"The fact that she left us these murals is perhaps the greatest help she could have given."

Xia En nodded, his impression of the Goddess of Life becoming even more profound.

He had a vague feeling that he might have some contact with this deity again in the future.

Perhaps traces of her can be found in the [secret realm] where the elves reside.

"Let's go, the [Shuttle of Destiny] is just ahead."

The voice of the "King of Ten Thousand Dragons" interrupted Xia En's thoughts.

Xia En and Xiange continued forward, following the guidance of the King of Dragons.

As they ventured deeper, the surrounding light gradually brightened.

A mysterious power permeated the air, as if every inch of space was filled with the traces of time.

Finally, they arrived at the deepest part of the Dragon Abyss.

There, a huge stone platform stands in the center of the space.

Above the stone platform, an object emitting a soft glow floats.

It was an intricate shuttle, entirely silver-white, its surface covered with ancient runes.

Around the shuttle, fine silk threads can be faintly seen.

It's as if it connects countless times and spaces.

"That is the [Shuttle of Destiny]."

The voice of the "King of Ten Thousand Dragons" carried a hint of awe.

Xia En's gaze was fixed on the [Weaving Shuttle of Destiny], and an indescribable excitement welled up in his heart.

He could sense that this artifact contained immense power, as if it could manipulate time and destiny.

"Captain Shane, the power of the [Weaving Shuttle of Fate] is extraordinary."

"You must use it with caution."

[King of Ten Thousand Dragons] reminded him.

Xia En nodded, took a deep breath, and slowly walked towards the stone platform.

The moment he approached the [Weaving Shuttle of Fate], the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

He could feel a powerful force surging from the shuttle, as if it were resonating with the [Void Secret Power] within his body.

"Is this... the power of the [Shuttle of Destiny]?"

Xia En murmured softly.

He reached out and gently touched the surface of the [Weaving Shuttle of Destiny].

The moment his fingers touched the shuttle, Xia En suddenly felt a strange flutter in his heart.

It was as if a pair of indifferent eyes were watching him from the dark void!
"This is……"

Xia En frowned slightly.

The feeling of being watched came and went quickly, but it lingered like a dark cloud over his heart.

That goddess of fate was indeed not dead!

Moreover, she likely became even stronger during her adventures in the [Secret Sea]!

However, now that he had already obtained the [Weaving Shuttle of Destiny], Shaen naturally had no regrets.

at the same time.

Information about the [Shuttle of Destiny] also appeared before his eyes.

【The Shuttle of Destiny】

[Type: Relic]

[Quality: False God]

[Description: One of the artifacts of the Goddess of Fate, possessing the power to traverse different secret realms.]

[You can also confirm the direction of your desired goal through the connection of the threads of fate.]

Those who weave destiny are also caught in its vast web.

After reading these lines of information.

Xia En was slightly taken aback: "Pseudo-god level?"

This was the first thing Xia En had encountered that was of a quality above "myth".

However, if there are "false gods," then there must also be "true gods."

The reason for this division is...

Perhaps because...

The name of the deity 【Goddess of Fate】 is only relevant to the 【Seven Seas World】.

If we look at all the secret realms in the entire Secret Sea, she certainly cannot be called a true deity.

Perhaps only beings like [Hui Si Ming] and [Lord of Billions of Radiance] can be called true gods.

Xia En stared at the [Weaving Shuttle of Destiny] in his hand, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

This artifact not only contains the power to traverse secret realms, but also allows one to find the direction of their target through the Thread of Fate.

this means.

He can not only use the [Fate Shuttle] to travel to the [Elf Realm], but may even be able to find Lyra directly in the [Secret Sea].

However, it is clear that the amount of secret power required to activate this divine artifact is also extremely large.

Just as Xia En was pondering.

The ship spirit of the Black Swan, which was connected to his thoughts, suddenly reacted.

Xiao Hei: [Master!]

That thing in your hand... it seems like it could be used on me!

Could you bring it to me?

"……Um?"

Xia En was somewhat surprised.

This was the first time he had heard Xiao Hei make such a request in all the time he had been captain of the Black Swan.

However, judging from Xiao Hei's meaning...

Is the [Shuttle of Fate] capable of producing a special reaction with it?

Xia En's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately responded.

"Little Black, can you sense the power of the [Weaving Shuttle of Destiny]?"

What use is it to you?

Xiao Hei's voice carried a hint of excitement and anticipation.

[Master, I can sense that this thing resonates with my core.]

It can not only enhance my strength, but also allow me to break through existing limitations and gain even greater abilities!

Xia En frowned slightly, deep in thought.

As a pseudo-god-level artifact, the [Fate Shuttle] naturally possesses extraordinary power.

If it can truly merge with the Black Swan, it might elevate the ship's power to a whole new level.

It might even be possible...

Let the Black Swan sail on the Secret Sea!

Just imagining a ship that can sail in the [Secret Sea] is enough to get anyone excited!
But at the same time.

Shane was also aware that such a fusion was not without risks.

The Shuttle of Fate is, after all, a divine artifact of the Goddess of Fate.

The power and will contained within may not be something the current Black Swan can fully withstand.

But after thinking for a moment...

Xia En decided to trust Xiao Hei after all!

He has been fighting alongside the Black Swan for so long that they have long since built an unbreakable bond.

He knew that since Xiao Hei dared to say those words to him, he must have been confident.

As the captain, how could he refuse such a request?
