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

Chapter 434 [Merging the Shuttle of Destiny] [The Future of the Dragon's Nest Secret Realm!]

Not long after.

Xia En made up his mind.

He spoke to the consciousness of the [King of Ten Thousand Dragons].

"Your Excellency, I have obtained the [Weaving Shuttle of Destiny]. Please escort us back to the vicinity of the [Black Swan]."

The King of Dragons didn't delay and spoke directly.

"Alright, I will reopen the doors for you."

The next moment, the silver light gate reappeared in front of the two of them.

Without hesitation, Xia En and Xiange stepped straight into the portal.

When the two opened their eyes again, they had returned to the Dragon's Nest Peak, surrounded by a sea of ​​clouds.

Joey and the rest of the crew were already waiting for their return aboard the Black Swan.

After temporarily bidding farewell to the [King of Dragons], Shane quickly returned to the [Black Swan].

As Shane stepped onto the deck, he felt the familiar hull swaying slightly beneath his feet.

The entire ship was pulsating slightly, as if welcoming his arrival.

"captain!"

Joey walked over quickly, her eyes full of concern: "Was everything alright?"

Xia En nodded and raised the [Weaving Shuttle of Destiny] in his hand: "We got it."

The crew members' eyes were all fixed on the artifact that emitted a mysterious light, their eyes filled with awe and curiosity.

"This is the [Shuttle of Destiny]?"

"Joey asked in a low voice."

"Yes."

Shaun smiled slightly, then turned towards the mast of the Black Swan.

"Little Black, I brought it back."

Thank you, Master!

Xiao Hei's voice was filled with barely concealed excitement.

I can feel it, I can absorb its power!

Xia En took a deep breath and gently placed the [Weaving Shuttle of Destiny] on the deck.

He closed his eyes, feeling the flow of the [Void Secret Power] within his body, and then covered the surface of the shuttle with his palm.

"Little Black, are you ready?"

[Anytime is fine, Master!]

Xia En nodded and began to activate the secret power within his body.

As he guided it, the runes on the surface of the [Weaving Shuttle of Destiny] gradually lit up.

The silvery-white light spread out like flowing water, slowly seeping into the hull of the Black Swan.

The ship began to tremble slightly, as if in response to the injection of this force.

The crew members on deck took a few steps back, watching the scene with bated breath.

"Captain, this is..."

Joey asked somewhat uneasily.

"don’t worry."

Xia En calmly replied, "Little Black is merging with the [Weaving Shuttle of Destiny]. This is its opportunity to break through its own limitations and achieve sublimation."

As the light spread, the hull of the Black Swan began to undergo indescribable changes.

The originally black hull gradually revealed silver-white patterns, as if ancient runes were awakening on the ship.

The sails moved automatically without wind, emitting a faint glow.

This kind of enhancement is very similar to, yet different from, Shane's previous enhancement of the Black Swan.

Xia En could clearly sense that the aura of the Black Swan was gradually becoming stronger.

Every inch of the ship's planks, every cable, and every component seems to be undergoing some kind of transformation.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
The light from the [Shuttle of Fate] suddenly became dazzling.

A powerful force erupted from this artifact, directly impacting Xia En's consciousness.

"Uh!"

Xia En groaned softly, his body swaying slightly.

He felt a cold and indifferent will trying to invade his mind.

The feeling of being watched that I had felt before reappeared.

"Captain Shane!"

Xian Ge immediately stepped forward to support him, her eyes filled with worry.

"I'm fine..."

Xia En calmed his mind and tried his best to resist the invasion of that will.

Clearly, this is the will of the Goddess of Fate that remains within the Shuttle of Fate.

The invasion of Xia En's consciousness was merely incidental.

The real main battlefield is actually inside the Black Swan!

Vaguely.

Xia En's field of vision changed.

He felt as if he were in a vast starry sky, surrounded by endless void.

Before him, two powerful forces were clashing fiercely.

One side is Xiao Hei's ship spirit, which has transformed into a giant black swan.

Its wings spread, radiating a deep darkness.

The other side is the will of the Goddess of Fate.

She transformed into a woman draped in silver gauze, her face blurred, yet radiating a suffocating aura of power.

Two spiritual forces are engaged in a silent yet fierce confrontation, stirring up countless starlight-like fragments.

After several promotions and battles, Xia En's soul and mental strength had already reached a level far beyond that of ordinary people.

He swiftly condensed his spiritual power into a jet-black longsword and slashed at the phantom in front of him!
With his arrival, the Black Swan's wings became more solid, and the power of darkness grew stronger.

The will of the Goddess of Fate seems to be feeling the pressure.

Her figure swayed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed across her face beneath the silver veil.

"Mortal, how dare you defy the gods?"

A cold voice echoed in Xia En's mind.

Xia En did not respond, but instead used the jet-black longsword formed from his mental energy to resolutely slash forward.

He knew that every moment of hesitation at this moment could allow the will of the Goddess of Fate to prevail.

The black swan's wings suddenly flapped, and the power of darkness surged towards the phantom of the Goddess of Fate like a tidal wave.

at the same time.

Xia En's longsword also cleaved through the void, pointing straight at her core.

The phantom of the Goddess of Fate spreads her arms wide.

Countless fine threads formed a large net, blocking the way for the Black Sword and the Black Swan.

The collision of the two forces stirred up countless ripples in the void.

It was as if the entire starry sky was trembling.

at last.

With the combined efforts of Xia En and Xiao Hei, the will of the Goddess of Fate began to crumble.

The figure of the woman in silver gauze gradually blurred, eventually turning into countless points of light and dissipating into the void.

"You... cannot escape the shackles of fate..."

Her voice gradually faded from Xia En's mind.

As the will of the Goddess of Fate dissipated, the light of the Shuttle of Fate gradually stabilized.

Shaun's consciousness returned to the real world.

The sea of ​​clouds not far away was calm and still, as if nothing had happened.

However, the [Fate Weaver] that had been placed in front of Xia En earlier had now disappeared.

this means.

This magical artifact has already become one with the Black Swan.

But that's it.

Xiao Hei's slightly tired voice echoed in Xia En's mind.

"Master, I'm a little tired and need to rest for a while."

It's clear that the mental clash just now put a considerable burden on the Black Swan.

on the other hand.

It's not something that can be fully absorbed and digested in such a short time.

Xia En nodded and responded softly.

"Get some rest, Little Black."

“You’ve done very well.” He felt the Black Swan’s hull vibrate slightly, as if in response to his words.

Then, the atmosphere on the entire ship gradually calmed down, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.

Joey and the other crew members remained standing on the deck, their eyes filled with unease and doubt.

"Captain, what just happened?"

Joey couldn't help but ask.

Xia En took a deep breath and slowly explained, "The will of the Goddess of Fate remains within the [Weaving Shuttle of Fate]."

"During the process of merging with it, Xiao Hei encountered resistance from that will."

"However, it's all over now."

"Is Xiao Hei alright?"

Joey asked with concern.

"It just needs some time to digest this force."

Xia En smiled and reassured him, "Don't worry, when Xiao Hei wakes up, it will become even stronger."

"Just like before."

In the past, when the Black Swan was being upgraded, there was always a waiting period of time.

Upon hearing this, the crew members all breathed a sigh of relief.

Their feelings for the Black Swan had long surpassed those for an ordinary ship; it was more like that of a partner and family.

Xuan Ge walked to Xia En's side and said softly, "Captain Xia En, what should we do next?"

After a moment of contemplation, Xia En turned his gaze to the [Dragon's Nest Peak] not far away.

"We need to wait for Xiao Hei to complete the fusion, and at the same time, we need to prepare for the journey ahead."

"Especially now, the fusion of the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm] and the [Seven Seas World] is probably an irreversible trend."

“It is also very important to handle the relationship between the ancient dragon clan and the humans of the Seven Seas.”

Shaen's gaze toward the [Dragon's Nest Peak] was profound.

The sea of ​​clouds churned, and the mountain peaks appeared and disappeared, like a sleeping dragon that might awaken at any moment.

He knew that the fusion of the Dragon's Nest and the Seven Seas World would bring about unprecedented changes.

The return of the Ancient Dragon Clan signifies more than just a redistribution of power.

This also means that the entire world order will be completely rewritten.

Moreover, there are many believers in the Seven Seas who worship gods, and there will likely be considerable conflict between them and the ancient dragons.

If the relationship between the two parties cannot be handled properly.

The seven seas will most likely be engulfed in a chaotic conflict.

Fortunately, based on the current contact...

The King of Dragons is not an unreasonable ruler. If you communicate with him properly, a peaceful coexistence is not impossible.

And coincidentally, Shane, being human and having a good relationship with the ancient dragon, could become the bridge between the two.

at this time.

A deep dragon's roar came from afar.

Xia En looked up and saw the phantom of the [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] reappear in the sea of ​​clouds, slowly approaching the [Black Swan].

"Captain Shane, it seems you have successfully mastered the [Weaving Shuttle of Destiny]."

The voice of the King of Dragons echoed like thunder through the sea of ​​clouds.

Xia En nodded and responded respectfully.

"Yes, Your Excellency."

"Although the process was somewhat bumpy, we ultimately succeeded."

A hint of approval flashed in the eyes of the King of Dragons: "Very good, as expected of the human that String Song has chosen."

"What are your plans next?"

Xia En pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"I plan to stay in the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm] for a while and wait for the [Black Swan] to complete its fusion."

"At the same time, I also hope to further discuss with you the future of the Ancient Dragon Clan and the Seven Seas Humans."

The King of Dragons nodded slowly: "You're right."

"The return of the Ancient Dragon Clan does indeed require reaching a consensus with the humans of the Seven Seas."

“I will summon the elders of the clan to discuss this matter with you.”

Xia En bowed slightly: "Thank you for your understanding and support."

The phantom of the King of Ten Thousand Dragons gradually dissipated, leaving only a low voice.

"Captain Shane, you are the most special human I have ever met."

"Perhaps, you really can change the fate of this world."

……

……

In the days that followed.

With Shane's help in making the connection.

The Federation dispatched several officers to the Dragon's Nest Secret Realm, where they held multiple meetings with the King of Dragons and the elders of the Ancient Dragon Clan.

Both sides reached a preliminary consensus on many matters after the return of the Ancient Dragon Clan to the Seven Seas.

The ancient dragon clan promised not to attack humans unprovoked.

The humans of the Seven Seas must also respect the existence of the ancient dragons and must not arbitrarily invade their territory.

Simultaneously.

During the talks, the two sides unexpectedly brought up a possibility.

That is...

transaction!

The Dragon's Nest Secret Realm contains many unique and exotic local products.

In particular, items related to ancient dragons are excellent forging and spellcasting materials for humans.

Humans, on the other hand, possess various technologies that the ancient dragons did not have.

—If this were before the great battle against the [Corruption Apostle] clone.

Many Gu Long might think that human technology is nothing special.

however.

After witnessing firsthand the performance of the Black Swan in the Kuroshio.

Many of Gu Long's works, however, have changed their minds.

They felt that human steam technology and magic rune technology did have some merit.

It was under these circumstances.

Humans and ancient dragons were able to establish a delicate cooperative relationship.

Of course, such cooperation is still very fragile at present.

It could break down at any time.

But at least, this is an important step toward peaceful coexistence between the two races.

at the same time.

Shane and his crew were not idle either.

Xia En used this time to further improve his strength.

He constantly honed the [Void Secret Power] within his body, attempting to improve his control over the [Void Laws].

In the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm], Xiange searches for memories related to her past life, attempting to awaken more power.

And in this process.

The aura of the stringed song continued to rise, bringing it ever closer to breaking through the legendary barrier.

Time passes day by day.

The integration of the Black Swan is also nearing its end.

at last.

One morning, Shane felt a slight tremor coming from the hull of the ship.

It sounded like a baby bird hatching from its shell.

Within the hull of the Black Swan, a new vitality and power seem to be emerging, flourishing and radiating forth.

"Master, I'm awake."

Xiao Hei's voice echoed in his mind, filled with excitement and anticipation.

Xia En smiled slightly and replied softly, "Welcome back, Xiao Hei."

"How does it feel?"

I feel...more powerful than ever before!

Xiao Hei's voice was full of confidence.

Master, I have fully integrated the power of the "Weaving Shuttle of Destiny".

Now, I can not only travel between different secret realms, but perhaps... I can even sail on the "Secret Sea"!
