The game starts with escaping from the famine and flipping the table

My wife is still alive!

She's in a sea prison!

Hope, like a spark in the darkness, instantly ignited Wu Zhiqi's almost frozen heart.

Without any hesitation, he followed the direction of the senses, transforming into a streak of light and rushing towards the bottomless crevice beneath the ruins of the Dragon Palace.

The three-eyed monkey and Changyou barely suppressed their fear and gritted their teeth to follow.

The entrance to the sea prison is hidden beneath a collapsed artificial mountain, its protective barriers long since broken.

The deeper you go, the colder and more piercing the seawater becomes; it's a chilling cold that can freeze your soul.

Along the way, you can see many cages, which contain skeletons or monsters that have completely lost their minds and only know how to howl.

Finally, at the deepest part of the sea, before a giant cage forged from millennia-old mystic ice and divine iron, Wu Zhiqi saw the figure that had haunted his heart day and night.

Dragon Girl Li huddled in the corner of the cage, her hands bound by rune chains, her long dragon tail drooping limply onto the murky seabed mud.

Her once shimmering scales had become dull and lifeless, her face was as pale as paper, and her breath was weak.

But the moment she saw Wu Zhiqi, her eyes suddenly lit up, filled with the excitement of escaping a desperate situation and an unspeakable grief.

"Zhiqi...you've finally...come..." Her voice was weak, tinged with sobs.

"Ah Li!" Wu Zhiqi rushed to the cage, unleashing his divine power, trying to tear open the iron bars that imprisoned the gods. "Don't be afraid, I'll get you out!"

“It’s no use…” Dragon Girl Li shook her head, tears streaming down her face. “This is an ancient restriction. Forcibly breaking it will cause the sea eye to collapse… Only… only by finding the ‘Sea-Stabilizing Divine Iron’ can it be temporarily suppressed…”

The Sea-Stabilizing Iron? That legendary artifact left behind by King Yu after he tamed the floods?

"Where?!" Wu Zhiqi asked urgently.

Dragon Girl Li's gaze, however, bypassed Wu Zhiqi and went to the three-eyed spirit monkey and Changyou who followed behind him. A very complex and elusive light flashed in her eyes, so fast that it was imperceptible.

"The divine iron... was hidden by Father... in the Eye of the Ruins..."

She gasped for breath, each word seemingly draining her strength, "There... is guarded by an ancient water demon beast... Only... those with the Golden Eyes of Truth and the Ability to Hear the Heavens and Earth... can find the entrance and... lure the water demon beast away..."

The Three-Eyed Monkey's Golden Eyes of Truth and the Right Eye's Ability to Hear Heaven and Earth!

Wu Zhiqi suddenly turned his head and looked at his two loyal brothers.

Without a word, the three-eyed monkey puffed out his chest and said, "Boss, leave it to me!" Changyou nodded emphatically, his four ears perking up.

Without delay, Wu Zhiqi stayed behind to try to find other ways to weaken the restriction, while the Three-Eyed Monkey and Chang You headed straight for the legendary place where all waters converge—Guixu—based on the vague directions provided by the Dragon Girl.

Beyond the Ruins of Return, chaos reigned, and temporal turbulence raged. Just as the Dragon Girl had predicted, a terrifying water demon beast, resembling a giant Kun but with nine ferocious heads, lurked in the vortex at the entrance, radiating a chilling aura of ferocity.

The three-eyed monkey's vertical eye on its forehead emitted a burst of golden light, piercing through layers of mist and water barriers, and accurately finding the true entrance hidden behind countless spatial folds.

Changyou then used his supernatural powers, thumping his four ears to emit a strange sound wave that imitated the song of an ancient whale. The sound wave carried a provocative meaning and traveled far and wide.

The eighteen giant eyes of the nine-headed water demon beast instantly turned blood red, and it let out a deafening roar. Five of its heads suddenly turned to the right, and its massive body stirred up billions of tons of seawater as it rushed forward!

"Go!" The three-eyed monkey shrieked and split up with Chang You, using their speed and the terrain to fight the ancient beast in perilous situations.

Taking this opportunity, Wu Zhiqi, according to plan, transformed into an invisible stream of water and instantly shot into the Eye of Guixu.

Within the Ruins of Guixu, all was silent, a silence so profound it sent chills down one's spine, as if everything here was shrouded in an eerie order.

At the core, a jet-black ancient iron pillar floats silently. It is only about ten feet long, yet it exudes an aura of majesty that suppresses all waters and stabilizes the universe, like a master of heaven and earth.

This is the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Iron!

Wu Zhiqi had no time to think. He immediately channeled his divine power and pounced on the divine iron like a hungry tiger.

However, the moment his palm touched the divine iron—a sudden change occurred!

Suddenly, countless fine, twisted, dark red runes emerged from the divine iron. They were like venomous snakes, winding their way up his arm as if to devour him.

A cold, sinister, and devouring power surged into his meridians like a raging wave, heading straight for his sea of ​​consciousness!

"Ugh..."

Wu Zhiqi let out a painful groan, feeling as if his soul was being torn to pieces.

The scene before them changed drastically in an instant. It was no longer the silence of the Ruins, but a terrifying hell where countless vengeful spirits wailed and demons roared!

"Boss!" The three-eyed spirit monkey and Changyou, who had just used their wit and speed to get rid of the water demon beast and rush into the Ruins to provide backup, happened to witness this thrilling scene and were so frightened that their souls almost left their bodies.

The Three-Eyed Monkey instinctively unleashed its full power with its Golden Eyes of Insight, its golden light sweeping like lightning toward the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Iron and the dark red runes entwined with the Boundless Qi.

Upon seeing this, all the fur on his body stood on end, and he let out a terrified scream: "No! This isn't divine iron! This is... this is the 'God-Devouring Gu'! It's an evil artifact from the demonic path!"

The aura of the dark red runes was exactly the same as the extremely subtle fluctuation they had sensed from the Dragon Girl when she guided them here!

Changyou's four ears also caught the key point at the same time—the faint humming emitted by the "Sea-Stabilizing Iron" had a core frequency that perfectly matched the restriction fluctuations of the cage imprisoning the Dragon Girl!

That's not a key, that's... the fuse to activate the final trap!

All the clues and all the anomalies suddenly connected at this moment!

The Dragon Palace, empty for ten thousand years, is like a sleeping behemoth, so quiet it's suffocating.

The eerie teleportation technique, resembling the fangs of a demon, exudes a chilling aura.

The phantom of my master being devoured on the ancient battlefield is like a cursed nightmare, lingering in my mind and refusing to leave.

The wife, weak and pleading for help in the Netherworld Sea Prison, was like a candle flickering in the wind, teetering on the verge of collapse.

The guide pointing to the Ruins of Guixu is like a beacon in the darkness, yet it is unclear whether it leads to hope or despair.

The water demon beast, which requires specific supernatural powers to lure away, is like a ferocious wild beast, eyeing you menacingly.

This malevolent God-Devouring Gu, disguised as divine iron, is like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, waiting for a fatal blow...

A chilling conclusion, like a sharp dagger, mercilessly pierced the heart of the two monkeys.

Dragon Girl Li... she was lying!

From beginning to end, she acted like a cunning hunter, guiding Wu Zhiqi step by step into the trap she had meticulously laid out... a deadly trap!

"Boss! Let go! It's a trap!!" The Second Monkey's roar was like a howl from hell, filled with endless anger and panic, and it exploded in the eerie Eye of the Ruins.

Wu Zhiqi was tightly bound by the power of the God-Devouring Gu, his soul felt as if it were being devoured by thousands of poisonous insects, causing him unbearable pain and making it almost impossible for him to hear his brother's warning.

He struggled to lift his head, and through his blurred vision, he seemed to see a familiar figure looming at the entrance to the Ruins of Return.

That's Dragon Girl Li.

She had somehow broken free from the cage's restraints and floated there like a ghost, surrounded by a deep, dark demonic light of the same origin as the God-Devouring Gu, like a messenger from the abyss.

She coldly watched Wu Zhiqi struggling in agony within the Devouring God Gu. Her face was no longer filled with the previous gentleness and sorrow, but instead with an indifference as cold as an ice sculpture, and... deep in her eyes, a mad and resolute light, like a burning flame, was chilling.

This place is not some kind of desolate ruin; it's clearly a carefully orchestrated trap by the Dragon Girl, a death trap designed to ensnare people!
