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

Chapter 475 [The Laws of Space and Time] [The Record of the Unity of All Laws]

A complex look flashed in the eyes of the King of Dragons. He remained silent for a moment before speaking slowly.

“Ghana…it’s my brother.”

This answer stunned Shane and the crew.

"We fought side by side during the war of the gods."

"But in its final battle, to cover its people's retreat, it fought the God of War alone, and its whereabouts have remained unknown ever since."

The King of Dragons gazed into the distance, as if traversing time and space.

"I never imagined it would be trapped in this secret realm for a thousand years..."

Xia En noticed that the eyes of this majestic dragon leader were slightly moist.

Where is it now?

Shaen truthfully replied, "It is currently hovering in the skies of the Seven Seas World."

"Perhaps it is also searching for traces of other ancient dragons."

"but……"

[King of Ten Thousand Dragons] raised an eyebrow: "But what?"

Shane explained, "Senior Gana seems to have been affected by the [Secret Sea], and his bloodline has undergone some kind of mutation."

"Furthermore, having absorbed the power of the [Forge Realm], its current size..."

Perhaps feeling that mere words were not convincing enough, Shane simply used his secret power to recreate the scene of the first meeting with Ghana for the [King of Ten Thousand Dragons].

They saw that enormous figure that almost occupied the entire Earth's core.

Even the King of Ten Thousand Dragons couldn't help but slightly open his eyes.

"This is... Ghana?"

Xia En nodded: "That's right."

The King of Ten Thousand Dragons looked somewhat strange.

"It really has grown a lot..."

"But no matter what, it is still my brother."

"I will send an ancient dragon to the Seven Seas World to find it."

Just then, the Dragon Pool suddenly began to churn violently!
The golden pool water churned as if boiling, and countless ancient dragon runes appeared on the surface.

"The String Song is about to break through!"

Joey's red eyes reflected a dazzling golden light.

Cracks began to appear in the cocoon in the center of the pool, and a light of bronze and gold-red intertwined burst forth from the cracks.

“Crack—”

With a crisp cracking sound, the cocoon shattered completely!

A tall, slender figure slowly rose from the pool—

The dragon's horns became longer and sharper, and the shape of the crown on its head became more and more obvious and clear.

Golden-red patterns flow across the bronze-colored scales.

Behind her, three pairs of translucent dragon wings unfolded, each wing membrane resembling the finest crystal.

What is most striking is the power of laws surrounding her.

It was an ancient and majestic aura, as if it came from the deepest power of the dragon bloodline.

"legend……"

Vivian murmured softly, her heterochromatic eyes filled with amazement.

Xiange slowly opened her eyes; her pupils had turned pure gold, within which danced an inextinguishable dragon flame.

"I did it..."

Her voice carried the unique resonance of the dragon race, stirring ripples in the air.

[King of Ten Thousand Dragons] nodded in satisfaction.

“Xiange, my old friend, congratulations on finally regaining some of your former strength.”

A flash of light appeared on Xian Ge's body.

His body transformed into human form amidst the light.

However, she looks different from the seven or eight-year-old little girl she used to be.

At this moment, Xiange had become a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, and she had obviously grown taller.

Her once youthful face now possessed a brighter, more girlish charm, but her golden vertical pupils still carried the majesty unique to the dragon race.

She looked down at her hands, moved them with a bit of curiosity, and then bowed respectfully to the King of Dragons.

"Thank you for your help with the Dragon Pool."

"This is what you deserve."

The King of Dragons said gently, "We will always remember your contributions to the dragon race."

"【Dragon's Nest】, will always be your home."

String Song turned to look at Xia En, a gentle glint in her golden eyes: "Captain, I succeeded."

Xia En stepped forward and patted her shoulder with satisfaction: "Congratulations, Xiange. How are you feeling?"

"Better than ever before."

Xiange clenched her fist, and a wisp of golden-red dragon flame danced in her palm.

“I can feel that I am one step closer to returning to my former peak condition.”

at this time.

Joey suddenly exclaimed, "Wait! The Captain's power of law—"

Only then did everyone notice that faint dragon patterns had appeared around Xia En, and a power of law originating from the same source as Xiange was flowing within his body.

【Dragon's Law (3%)!】

[The Laws of Spacetime (1%)!]

[Overall Qualifications: 120 → 125!]

This is the new law power that String Song gave back to Xia En after breaking through to the legendary level!
Having learned from the experiences of the previous crew members who had broken through, Shane wasn't particularly surprised by the incident itself.

However, the power of the laws brought by the string song surprised him slightly.

The laws of spacetime are undoubtedly among the most mysterious and profound laws in the world.

Shaun had only ever seen such power of law in Lyra.

Unexpectedly, String Song, as the Bronze and Time Dragon, also mastered this law.

However, including these two laws, the number of laws that Xia En has mastered has reached seven!
It's hard to say whether this change is good or bad.

at the same time.

The King of Dragons watched this scene thoughtfully.

"Interesting... This kind of bond is extremely rare, even in the history of the dragon race."

However, the King of Dragons' expression quickly changed, and he spoke.

"Captain Shane, do you possess more than one law?"

Xia En paused slightly, then nodded frankly: "Yes."

A hint of seriousness flashed in the golden vertical pupils of the [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]: "As expected... I can sense the aura of multiple laws intertwined within you."

He walked slowly closer, placing his hand lightly on Xia En's chest: "Let me take a closer look."

A gentle yet ancient dragon power seeped into Xiaen's body.

[King of Ten Thousand Dragons] closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then his brows gradually furrowed.

"Seven laws... and they're still increasing."

He opened his eyes, his tone serious: "Captain Shane, do you know what this means?"

Xia En shook his head: "Please explain further."

"The power of laws is the cornerstone of the world."

The King of Dragons explained, "Each law is like a rushing river, possessing its own direction and characteristics."

"Ordinary legendary powerhouses can only master one or two laws in their entire lives."

Even among those with exceptional talent, there are at most three or four types.

"And you..."

He looked intently at Xia En: "It's like having seven incompatible waterways carved out inside your body."

"It might grant immense power in the short term, but in the long run..."

Vivian gripped Xiaen's arm nervously: "What will happen?"

"A conflict of laws."

The King of Ten Thousand Dragons said in a deep voice, "When these laws of power develop to a certain extent, they will repel and collide with each other within the body."

"At best, it will cause loss of control over the force; at worst..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone present understood his implication. Xia En's expression was grave. He had vaguely sensed this problem before, but he hadn't expected it to be so serious.

"Is there any solution?" Joey asked anxiously.

[King of Ten Thousand Dragons] pondered for a moment: "Theoretically, there are two paths."

"First, abandon unnecessary rules and specialize in one or two."

"But this would be difficult for Captain Shane to accept."

Xia En nodded.

The crew members reported that the power of the laws was an important source of his strength, and abandoning any one of them would mean weakening his combat power.

"What about the second one?"

"To find a 'core' that can govern all laws."

The King of Dragons said, "It's like using a main axis to string scattered beads into a necklace."

"As long as the main axis is strong enough, different laws can coexist harmoniously."

"It could be some supreme law, or it could be a special artifact or legacy."

The King of Dragons gazed into the distance: "As far as I know, there might be relevant clues hidden in the Dragon Clan's Secret Vault."

"【Dragon Clan's Secret Vault】?"

"Isn't that a forbidden area that only the Dragon Kings of past generations can enter?" Xiange exclaimed in surprise.

[King of Ten Thousand Dragons] smiled slightly: "That is indeed the case under normal circumstances."

"But Captain Shane's contributions to the dragon race are enough to warrant an exception."

He turned to Shane: "If you're interested, I can take you there myself."

Xia En bowed deeply and said, "I am extremely grateful."

"However, before setting off..."

The King of Dragons looked towards the Dragon Pool: "We still have one more thing to take care of."

Suddenly, abnormal black ripples appeared on the surface of the Dragon Pool, and shadows were faintly wriggling at the bottom of the pool.

"This is……?"

Xia En gripped the knife hilt warily.

"The corruption of the Corrupted Apostles."

The King of Dragons' face darkened: "It seems those cultists are even more rampant than I imagined; they've even infiltrated the Dragon Pool."

With a furious roar, golden-red dragon flames condensed in his palm: "Let me purify it!"

"and many more."

Xia En stopped her: "A rash attack might backfire."

He looked at Vivian: "Perhaps we can use the method we used last time."

Vivian understood, her heterochromatic eyes lighting up: "[Annihilation] and [Rebirth]..."

Xia En nodded, his inner power surging: "I'll cooperate with you."

The two attacked at the same time!

The pitch-black blade light and the two-colored light sphere fell into the Dragon Pool and exploded at the bottom of the pool.

"boom--"

Amidst the intense energy fluctuations, the pool water churned violently, and the black pollutants were gradually stripped away and purified.

"efficient!"

Joey exclaimed in surprise.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

The purified black matter suddenly coalesced into a distorted face, emitting a piercing shriek:

"Found you... Shane..."

The voice was hoarse and cold, as if it came from the deepest part of the abyss.

"【Corrupted Apostle】!"

[King of Ten Thousand Dragons] roared, unleashing his dragon might.

The black-faced man grinned maliciously: "I told you, we'd meet again."

"Your ship...your crew...will eventually become mine..."

"Shut up!" Xia En suddenly swung his blade, tearing the black face apart with the power of the void.

But at the very last moment, he clearly saw a strange smile flash across that face.

The Dragon Pool returned to calm, but the atmosphere on the deck was extremely heavy.

Joey frowned deeply: "They're like a persistent ghost!"

Xia En calmed the void energy within his body, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "Perfect timing, I've been looking for it too."

[King of Ten Thousand Dragons] sighed: "The situation is more serious than I imagined."

"The Corrupted Apostle seems to have identified you as a key target."

He looked at Xia En: "We need to speed things up. Let's go to the [Dragon Clan Vault] now."

Xia En nodded, then turned to the crew and said, "Joey, Xuan Ge, you're coming with me."

"The rest of you stay on board and remain vigilant."

"clear!"

Everyone responded in unison.

The King of Dragons transformed into a gigantic, silver-white dragon: "Come aboard, I will carry you across."

Xia En and the other two leaped onto the dragon's back, and the silver dragon flapped its wings and flew towards the clouds at the highest point of the [Dragon's Nest Peak].

Passing through layers of clouds, an ancient stone gate embedded in the mountaintop cliff gradually comes into view.

The stone gate is carved with countless dragon totems, exuding an aura of antiquity and majesty.

"arrive."

The King of Dragons landed in front of the stone gate and transformed back into human form.

He took out a dragon-shaped jade and pressed it into the groove in the center of the stone door: "In the name of the Dragon King, open the secret vault."

"Rumble--"

The heavy stone door slowly opened, revealing a deep, dark passage inside.

"follow me."

As the four entered the passage, the dragon crystal lamps on both sides automatically lit up, illuminating the exquisite reliefs on the walls.

Those reliefs vividly depict the glorious history of the dragon race, from the beginning of creation to the period of divine war.

At the end of the passage was a huge circular hall, with dozens of orbs of light floating in the center, each containing a dragon treasure.

"This place holds the most precious knowledge and treasures of the dragon race."

The King of Dragons walked towards one of the orbs of light: "This is what we're looking for."

With a gentle touch, the ball of light dissipated, revealing an ancient bronze scroll.

"【The Record of the Unity of All Laws】."

The King of Dragons solemnly handed it to Xia En: "This is the wisdom left behind by an ancient dragon sage who mastered multiple laws."

Xia En carefully took the bronze booklet; it felt cold and heavy in his hand.

The moment he touched it, the booklet suddenly glowed faintly, and a line of ancient dragon script appeared in the air:
"All methods originate from the same source, and all paths lead to the same destination."

"It seems it approves of you."

The King of Dragons said with satisfaction, "Studying this carefully might reveal a way to resolve the conflict of laws within you."

Xia En stared at the bronze scroll in his hand, feeling an ancient and profound thought emanating from it.

He gently unfolded the booklet.

The dragon script on it immediately came to life, transforming into a series of mysterious patterns.

"This is……"

Xia En's pupils contracted slightly as he saw countless lines of law intertwining in the void, forming an extremely complex web.

Each line represents a rule.

They appear chaotic, yet they follow some deep-seated rules.

The King of Dragons explained, "That sage believed that all laws are essentially different manifestations of the same source."

"Just as light can be broken down into seven colors, it is still essentially light."

Joey pondered, "So, as long as we find that 'source,' we can control all the laws?"

"That's how it is in theory."

The King of Ten Thousand Dragons nodded: "But even that sage didn't fully understand how to do it."

Suddenly, Xian Ge pointed to the last page of the booklet: "There's an incomplete record here..."
