Traveling to the future, the story with the orc king

Inside the Orcish Royal City's aquarium, there's a unique aquatic room. Here, a tranquil and mysterious atmosphere pervades everything. Inside, an elderly man sits, clad in a deep blue robe, seemingly blending seamlessly with the surrounding water.

Suddenly, the old man's body trembled violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blue blood. His eyes suddenly opened, and a complex emotion flashed in them, a mixture of deep panic, relief, and joy.

Hai Lanyue, who was guarding the door, heard the noise inside. Her heart tightened, and she immediately pushed the door open and walked in. When she saw the pool of blue blood on the ground, her face turned pale. She walked forward quickly, holding the old man's shoulder, and asked with concern: "Master, what's wrong with you? Are you injured? Is your injury serious?"

The old man slowly raised his head and looked at Hai Lanyue, a faint smile on his face. He shook his head gently, indicating that he was fine. However, his eyes revealed an unconcealable fatigue and worry. He said weakly, "Lanyue, Master is fine."

Hai Lanyue said worriedly, "Master, you've even vomited blood, how can you be alright?"

The old man is the high priest of the sea tribe, Haiyue (the priests of the sea tribe are named only Haiyue). In the past year or so, he has been sensing that the sea tribe is about to face an unprecedented major crisis. When the academy martial arts competition was deciding where to hold it, he suddenly sensed that the solution to this major crisis might appear among the orcs.

He began, "Lan Yue, there's something I didn't want to tell you right now, but I have to. Actually, for over a year now, I've been sensing that our Sea Clan is about to face a major crisis of extinction, and the solution to that crisis lies with the Orcs."

Hai Lanyue stared at the old man with wide eyes, looking at him in disbelief. "Master, why did you insist on coming to the Orc Tribe's Academy Martial Arts Competition?"

The High Priest of the Sea Tribe smiled calmly and replied, "Try to sense who can help us." He, too, could feel his life draining away. He continued, "Lan Yue, Master has sensed that the key to resolving this crisis lies with the Orc Crown Prince Long Yan. Remember to befriend him."

He produced a deep blue ocean stone, a unique artifact within the Priest's Temple, a treasure trove that held the lifelong memories, strength, and wisdom of every Sea Clan priest. He gently placed the stone in Hai Lanyue's hands and instructed, "This stone records everything I can sense about the future. Remember to hand it over to the Sea Emperor." He then slowly closed his eyes, as if completing an important mission.

Hai Lanyue stared blankly at his master. He wore a serene smile, his eyes gradually closing as his aura faded. His body began to transform into tiny specks of starlight, drifting toward the surrounding waters. Each speck of light shone faintly, as if telling the story of the life of this great High Priest of the Sea.

A sorrowful yet solemn atmosphere permeated the entire aquarium, a mournful cry from the depths of the ocean. Like a tragic song, this sound reverberated throughout the space, moving all who heard it. It was a mourning for the passing of the High Priest of the Sea Tribe, but also a tribute to his contributions.

At the same time, within the Sea Tribe's Priestly Temple in the Sea Clan's Imperial City, the passing of their High Priest was also felt. A mournful cry emanated, and upon hearing it, the Sea Clan's people paused their work and faced the Priestly Temple in silence, paying their respects to this great leader. At this moment, the entire Sea Clan was immersed in grief, lamenting the loss of such an outstanding leader. However, they knew that the High Priest's spirit would live on forever, inspiring future generations to continue moving forward.

Everyone in the Orc Imperial City saw the strange phenomenon that appeared in the sky above the Imperial City.

When the Dragon Emperor saw the strange vision, he immediately understood the reason and hurriedly ordered Long An beside him, "Long An, go find the Crown Prince immediately and go to the aquarium with him."

Long An stepped forward quickly and answered respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty." Then he turned and left, quickly going to look for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

At this moment, the Dragon Queen slowly approached. Hearing a song that brought both sadness and hope, he saw the strange phenomenon appearing over the Imperial City. With a hint of worry on his face, he softly asked, "Your Majesty, this phenomenon is coming from the direction of the Oceanarium. What exactly happened?"

The Dragon Emperor sighed heavily, a look of sorrow on his face. He slowly said, "The High Priest of the Sea Tribe has passed away. The Sea Emperor had sent a message saying that the High Priest had to leave the Priest Temple and come here, and that he had passed the position of priest to a new priest. This aquarium was built by people sent by the Sea Emperor, and everything was completed according to the High Priest's instructions."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise and regret flashed in the Dragon Queen's eyes.

"Why did the high priest choose to come to our Orc Royal City?" he asked puzzledly.

The Dragon Emperor was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "The Sea Emperor only mentioned that it was the High Priest's strong request, as it was related to the future fate of the Sea Clan. In order to avoid being abrupt, they decided to hold the Three Clan Academy Martial Arts Competition here."

"Your Highness... Your Highness the Crown Prince... A blue light curtain appeared above the imperial city, and sad singing was heard." Long Si shouted in a sad voice.

Long Yan heard Long Si's voice in the space and it sounded strange. He exchanged a glance with Lin Ziyu. Lin Ziyu then pulled Long Yan out of the space.

They saw strange visions above the imperial city, and seemed to hear the cries of creatures in the ocean, a feeling of rebirth amidst the sadness.

Lin Ziyu looked at the blue light curtain, his heart filled with confusion and curiosity. What was that? How could such a beautiful yet sad song come out? So he asked, "Brother Yan, what is that place?"

Long Yan replied, "It's in the direction of the aquarium." He thought of a possibility and said solemnly, "Zi Yu, wait here. I'll go over and see what's going on."

Lin Ziyu thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead."

Long Yan turned and left. Lin Ziyu thought: Fifth Grandpa might know what's going on. I'll go ask Fifth Grandpa. He walked towards Lin Yaochen's yard.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness. Wait..." Long An called out from behind. Long Yan heard and said to Long Si, who was driving, "Long Si, stop the car." After the car stopped, Long An arrived. Panting, he bowed respectfully to Long Yan and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, your Highness, your Highness, your Highness, I have been ordered to accompany you to the aquarium."

"Oh?" Long Yan looked at Long An in confusion, then asked, "Uncle An, did the emperor say anything?" Long An shook his head and replied, "Your Highness, the emperor didn't say it explicitly. But according to this old servant's guess, it should be related to the sea people."

Long Yan frowned slightly, pondering silently. Then, Long An spoke again, "Your Highness, can we talk while we walk?" Long Yan nodded in agreement. Then, Long An boarded the carriage and sat beside Long Si at the front. He continued, "According to the information I have, this is a phenomenon that only occurs after the High Priest of the Sea Clan passes away."

After hearing this, Long Yan revealed a look of sudden enlightenment and muttered to himself, "No wonder I can hear the cries of the sea creatures."

After hearing this, Long An thought to himself, "How could His Highness hear the cries of the sea creatures?"

In the aquarium, Hai Lanyue looked sad, staring blankly at the ocean stone in her hand.

At this time, the guard who had been guarding the high priest reminded him, "Grand Prince, the high priest has given you the Ocean Stone..."

The Sea Tribe priests had a total of nine guardians, numbered from one to nine. After the Sea Tribe High Priest passed the throne to his successor, he would leave behind only one guardian.

Hai Lanyue frowned, his heart filled with confusion and curiosity. He wanted to know why his master had come here to find a solution, regardless of his own safety. So, he focused his attention, staring at the Ocean Stone, as if he wanted to see through it to see the secret hidden behind it.

At that moment, the ocean stone suddenly emitted a soft, warm glow. The light gradually converged into a clear image, unfolding before Hai Lanyue's eyes. It was the kind and calm face of the High Priest of the Sea Tribe. He smiled and said to Hai Lanyue, "Lanyue, maintain a peaceful state of mind. Don't let your thoughts wander."
