Traveling to the future, the story with the orc king

After hearing Long Yan's words, a flicker of barely concealed surprise flashed across the Sea Emperor's deep, abyssal eyes. He involuntarily turned his gaze to Lin Ziyu. He thought to himself, "His reputation truly lives up to its reputation! This Lin Ziyu is truly the most astonishing alchemist. He's so young, yet he can wield such a powerful and mysterious power..."

The Sea King slowly spoke, "So that's how it is! Prince Dragon, I wonder what the current condition of the Soul Devouring Purple Flame is like?"

Long Yan said calmly, "Sea Emperor, don't worry. The Soul Devouring Purple Flame has already retracted all of its vines."

At this time, a purple vine as thick as a finger stretched out from Lin Ziyu's wrist and twisted its body, as if telling the Sea King: It's here.

The Sea Emperor's eyes changed slightly, and he subconsciously shouted, "Soul Devouring Purple Flame."

Soul-devouring Zi Yan found it amusing and laughed, "Haha..." The vines trembled.

Lin Ziyu glared at the Soul Devouring Purple Flame, trying to calm it down. He said, "Sea Emperor, don't panic. It won't hurt anyone now."

Looking at the small, laughing purple vine, Hai Lanyue surprisingly didn't feel so scared anymore. His heart relaxed a little. He thought to himself: Although this Soul-Devouring Purple Flame successfully lured out the Soul-Devouring Demonic Insects that threatened the survival of the Sea Clan and devoured them completely, this extremely dangerous creature still lingered not far from the Imperial City, and the Sea Clan still couldn't travel in peace.

At that moment, the vehicle, which had been moving steadily forward, suddenly came to a slow stop. The Sea Emperor then warmly invited Long Yan and Lin Ziyu to step out of the car and into the magnificent, glittering Crystal Palace. Furthermore, to express his welcome and gratitude to the two, the Sea Emperor meticulously prepared a sumptuous banquet to entertain them.

After entering the Crystal Palace, Poseidon led them through a series of magnificent archways. The walls inside the Crystal Palace shone with soft light, reflecting various strange patterns of marine life.

Everyone arrived at the banquet hall, where the tables were laden with exquisite food, many of which were delicacies not found on land. The Sea King raised his glass and said sincerely, "My two distinguished guests, if it weren't for you, my sea race would have suffered a devastating disaster. This toast is to you both." Lin Ziyu and Long Yan also raised their glasses in return.

After the banquet, Long Yan and Lin Ziyu said goodbye.

After leaving the Sea Clan, Long Yan used the Dragon Clan's secret method to contact the Dragon Emperor. He told the Dragon Emperor the details of his stay in the Sea Clan, his encounter with the Fox Clan leader's son, and his speculation that the human race was also in crisis.

Long Yan said, "Father, Zi Yu and I have decided to go to the human race."

A few days later, five faint figures slowly emerged from the vast expanse of land outside the human border town of Yuecheng. The two walking in front were one tall, handsome, and radiating a powerful aura. This was Long Yan. The other, dressed in white, was elegant, with eyes as bright and clear as the stars. This was Lin Ziyu.

Following closely behind them were the perfectly formed Long Si, the nimble Long Yi, and the calm and composed Long Wu. Their pace seemed slow, but in reality it was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, they were already not far from the gates of Yuecheng.

At that moment, the heavy city gate stood open, like a gaping maw ready to swallow everyone in. A desolate atmosphere emanated from the open gate, chilling everyone to the bone. Although it was the coldest season, the city wouldn't be completely deserted. Yet, it was completely silent, with not even a hint of human presence.

Lin Ziyu looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar city before him, and suddenly a strong sense of unease and panic welled up in his heart. He recalled that he had been unable to contact his father in Yuecheng for many days, and an ominous premonition suddenly enveloped his heart.

Long Yan, who was standing nearby, noticed the change in Lin Ziyu's mood. He stretched out his arms, hugged Lin Ziyu tightly, and called out softly, "Ziyu, Ziyu... Don't be afraid, I'm here for you."

At this time, Long Yi stepped forward, clasped his fists and said to Long Yan, "Your Highness, I would like to go into the city first to investigate the situation."

Long Yan nodded slightly in agreement, and at the same time warned, "Be careful. If you find any abnormal situation, be sure to retreat immediately."

After receiving the order, Long Yi cautiously walked towards the city. He observed his surroundings vigilantly, taking every step with extreme caution.

Lin Ziyu waited anxiously, and Long Yan held his hand tightly to comfort him. Time passed, and just as everyone began to worry, Long Yi appeared at the city gate, fighting with someone. Seeing this, Long Si and Long Wu stepped forward to help Long Yi.

As soon as they entered Yuecheng, the city gate slammed shut with a bang, and a strange aura emanated from above Yuecheng.

Long Yan's face changed, "Oh no, something happened to them." He was about to rush into the city. Lin Ziyu held him back, "Brother Yan, wait a minute."

At this time, the spirit Lin Xin said in Lin Ziyu's consciousness: "Master, such a strong ghost energy!"

Lin Ziyu: "What?"

Weapon Spirit Lin Xin: "Master, someone in the city has set up a ghost formation for sacrifice."

Lin Ziyu told Long Yan what the spirit Lin Xin said. After discussing for a while, the two decided to go into the city to check the situation.

"Master, master, please let it follow you." The spirit Lin Xin sent Xiao Sen out of the space.

Komori: "Hello, little master!"

Lin Ziyu: "Xiaosen!"

A red light flashed in Komori's eyes, and a voice was heard.

"For such a big city, there are less than 100,000 people. More than half of them are robots. When will we be able to gather 100,000 people?" The voice was exasperated.

"Shut up, find the entrance quickly."

Upon hearing this, Long Yan and Lin Ziyu instantly realized that someone in the city hadn't been found. They led Xiao Sen to the city gate and pushed it open. As they carefully passed through, they were greeted by a strong stench of decay. The city streets were littered with corpses, a strange, dark blue.

At that moment, a dark figure flashed by. Long Yan shouted, "Who?" and chased after it. Lin Ziyu and the robot Xiao Sen were hot on its heels. When they reached a dead end, the shadow's eyes flashed red a few times, and Xiao Sen's eyes also flashed red a few times, as if the two robots were communicating.

After a while, the black figure came out. He bowed respectfully to Lin Ziyu and said, "Hello, young master."

Lin Ziyu's eyes flashed with surprise. "Butler Lin." The butler accompanying his father was a robot. His clothes were tattered, and his eyes were flashing red. He looked very embarrassed. Lin Ziyu asked anxiously, "Butler Lin, is my father okay? Where is he?"

"Young Master...Master...he...was...seriously injured...and unconscious." Steward Lin spoke haltingly.

Seeing the faint light flickering on his chest, Lin Ziyu instantly realized that his energy was insufficient. He immediately took out a spirit stone and placed it on his chest. After Steward Lin absorbed the spirit stone, he returned to his original appearance in the General's Mansion.

His tone was respectful and gentle, and he said urgently: "Young Master, I will take you to see the master now."

Along the way, they tread cautiously, fearing to attract the enemy's attention. Steward Lin walked lightly and cautiously in front, with Lin Ziyu and Long Yan following closely behind. Steward Lin, Lin Ziyu, Long Yan, and Xiao Sen moved silently through the streets of Yuecheng, skillfully avoiding any possible enemies.

Finally, they arrived at a quiet courtyard behind the general's mansion. Surrounded by lush vegetation, it felt exceptionally peaceful and tranquil. As Lin Ziyu entered the courtyard, a sense of déjà vu washed over him. Fragments of memory flashed through his mind, and he realized his father had brought him here many times before, sitting in meditation for entire days.

At this time, Steward Lin said softly, "Young Master, this was your mother's favorite place when she was alive. The master would often come here to sit."

Lin Ziyu nodded slightly, indicating that he knew about this past event. Then, he eagerly asked, "So, is my father in there now?" Steward Lin smiled and replied, "Yes, young master." Then, Steward Lin walked to a corner of the courtyard and gently touched a seemingly ordinary brick. A faint mechanical sound echoed, and a crack slowly opened in the ground, revealing the entrance to a hidden underground passage.
