Quick Wear: Let go of the desire to help others and respect the burial of the insane.

“Very good, this is exactly the kind of person I need who can assess the situation and act accordingly.”

Ning Jun chuckled, then raised his hand and extended his index finger.

Since they have come to her aid, she cannot treat meritorious officials poorly like the Li Dynasty did.

A golden light burst forth, carrying domineering demonic power, and shot straight into the old swimming crab's brow.

“.....!”

The old crab demon, leaning on his weapon, felt a piercing pain that started in his head and gradually spread throughout his body. His legs trembled, and he almost lost his balance.

The spiritual energy within his meridians raged wildly, leaving the old swimming crab covered in wounds and bleeding profusely. Yet, he gritted his teeth and didn't utter a single sound.

He really has the demeanor of a tough guy.

Li Cheng was stunned as he watched the unfamiliar yet familiar golden light shoot into the crab demon's body.

As if his heart had been ripped out, Li Cheng felt as if a part of him was missing.

And that crab demon is taking away what originally belonged to him.

Immediately, an immense sense of panic gripped his heart. He looked again at the injured crab demon, whose aura was no less than that of the merman royal family back then.

What belonged to him but was taken away was his bloodline!

How could a lowly crab possibly suppress him by blood?! "No way!"

"Yang Zhen—"

Ning Jun snapped his fingers, and Li Cheng began kowtowing again.

"Miss Yang Zhen—"

Li Cheng kowtowed even more fiercely.

After kowtowing more than a dozen times, Li Cheng, at the cost of a broken forehead, finally had no choice but to utter the words, "Your Majesty!"

"...Your Majesty!" Li Cheng gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with disgust.

He had to endure it.

Yang Zhen didn't kill him, repeatedly "tolerating" him. Besides wanting to humiliate herself, she definitely had other ulterior motives.

Isn't it all about conquering him? Making him openly fall in love with her, Yang Zhen?

He then feigned submission and waited for an opportunity to strike near Yang Zhen!

Now he has become the lowest of the low, a stinking mudfish, whose bloodline is even suppressed by crabs.

What a humiliation! No, he must get his revenge. Without beauty, how can he maintain contact with Bai Ruanruan, the daughter of the God of War?

Li Cheng continued, "This lowly demon is not worth your divine power at all!"

He glared fiercely at the swimming crab, "A self-important old opportunist, completely incapable of bearing divine power, he will only self-destruct and die!"

"Your Majesty, why don't you entrust the divine power to the rightful sirens and let them assist your rule..."

But Li Cheng had barely finished speaking.

The blue crab opened its eyes. "Your Majesty, Dragon God, I feel better than ever before!"

"Not only have all my internal injuries healed, but I can also feel that my blood and energy have been further enhanced!"

He reverted to his original form, and the Crab General, resembling a small building, stood before everyone.

Not only has its size increased dozens of times, but its claws and legs are no longer short and slender; they have also become thicker and longer.

The most eye-catching part is the crab shell, which has shed its greenish-blue shell and transformed into a striking golden color.

They exude an aura of dominance at first glance.

He's on a completely different level from that impoverished gatekeeper crab soldier.

Former mermaid prince Li Cheng opened his mouth wide, and the sense of panic from the bottom of his heart grew stronger and stronger.

"You...you actually succeeded in bloodline evolution?!"

A lowly fairy.

It actually evolved successfully?!

The swimming crab didn't even bother to give Li Cheng a glance, and knelt down directly before Ning Jun.

"Thank you for your blessing, Your Majesty! From this day forward, the Crab Clan is willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty without hesitation!"

Ning Jun: .....?

It feels like it's turned into... steamed king crab.

Do you know what your evolved bloodline is?

After the swimming crab returned to its original state, it carefully recalled its ancestry for 108 generations, and then shook its head.

"Your Majesty, please forgive my ignorance, but I was unaware that the Crab Clan is weak, has no lineage, and has no precedent within the clan."

After a moment's thought, Ning Jun decided, "In that case, from today onwards, you are the King Crab!"

"This! I am terrified!"

King crab.

What a noble name!

The king crab's heart was pounding.

Since their birth, the crab clan has mostly used place names, and they have never had such a beautiful name before.

Unexpectedly, since he took a new master, he was able to start a new page in the family tree!

This isn't just a matter of ancestral graves emitting green smoke; this is ancestral graves actually burning down!

"It's alright." Ning Jun waved his hand. "It's just a name, and it just happens to suit you."

The Crab General's bloodline evolution looks so much like a steamed king crab. Hopefully, the Crab General won't take it to heart after learning the truth.

But the king crab was unaware of Ningjun's feelings.

He had no choice but to kowtow repeatedly.

His voice was louder than Li Cheng's, and his attitude was a hundred times more sincere!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for bestowing this name upon me!"

The king crab had a ruthless expression.

"From this day forward, the Crab Clan will be Your Majesty's sharpest blade! Keeping any villains out of Your Majesty's Dragon Palace!"

The crab clan took off alongside the king crab, directly latching onto the new dragon god's powerful backer.

The sudden change in wind direction caught many monsters off guard.

A part of the fear.

Some were afraid.

But more than anything, I felt envious and annoyed.

It's impossible for other monsters not to be envious. Who wouldn't be tempted and jealous of someone transforming from an ordinary monster into a powerful one?

If they had stepped forward earlier and flattered the new dragon god with their smooth talk, they might have been able to achieve a bloodline transformation and lead their entire race to new heights.

Ning Jun nodded, quite satisfied with the king crab's attitude.

This is the proper attitude for someone who joins a new master.

If you don't do it, plenty of others will. But no one is waiting for Licheng to awaken and be revived.

"King Crab, I hereby appoint you as the Divine General, and give you command of your troops."

"Throw all of these merman royalty into prison, strip them naked, and then throw them out to the four seas!"

Those members of the royal family who originally intended to escape or were already on their way to escape.

Ning Jun snapped his fingers, and the next second, everyone gathered in the square.

She continued, scanning the eyes of every demon present.

Perhaps intimidated by Ning Jun's imposing presence, they lowered their heads and dared not meet his gaze.

"Those former subordinates who just rallied to Li Cheng, all of them, execute them! Leave no one alive!"

Once the order was issued, some of the sea monsters were filled with righteous indignation.

"Why!"

"Why are merfolk allowed to be exiled while we are to be executed!"

"That's right! You can't kick us out. If you do, who will support you, the lone dragon god!"

The sea monsters who supported Licheng wished they could spit Ning Jun to death.

"Hehe, if you want to live, of course you can."

Ning Jun's expression was indifferent, as if he were mentioning a trivial matter.

"Your loyalty to the Merfolk royal family is evident to all. I believe the Merfolk royal family will treat you loyal ministers well."

"How about this."

"If any member of the former royal family of merfolk is willing to give one of your exile slots, they are willing to go and die."

"Then you can live."

Ning Jun glanced at Li Cheng's pale face, "I'm sure the Merfolk royal family will treat you loyal ministers well!"

It just so happens that the entire royal family of merfolk were present.

Those merfolk in the royal family who were kind-hearted and had not committed any major evils had long since left and gone to live in another sea area.

The rest are notorious, fraudsters, and those who claim to be "pure and innocent."

Everyone valued their own life extremely highly.

Who would give their hope of survival to a... a lowly race that is only fit to be a foot masseur or a floor cleaner!

"Oh?"

"no one there?"

"Where is General Shenwei?"

"Chen is here!"

"How's the fish count going?"

"There are a total of 65 members of the Merfolk royal family, of whom 236 supported the previous dynasty. Most of them are affiliated families of the Li family."

"Then let's get started."

"If no member of the royal family is willing to dedicate themselves to these rebels within half a quarter of an hour, then let's begin."

Ning Jun sensed the demonic power within the king crab.

Currently, her strength is second only to hers, and she could easily fight most of the sea monsters head-on.

Furthermore, the king crab is a general by nature; its mere presence in its true form is enough to intimidate any villains.

Ning Jun had just finished speaking.

Those seafood vendors who spoke out for Licheng got anxious.

They were just making casual remarks, so why is the guillotine about to fall on their heads?

"No... Your Majesty... Your Highness... Your Majesty!"

"please!"

"Please let us go! We were just temporarily misled by Li Cheng!"

The seafood knelt down, crying out, "He must have used evil magic to control us!"

At this moment, the anti-New Dragon God army completely collapsed and was utterly routed.

"We are actually on your side, Your Majesty the Dragon God! That Merfolk royal family is nothing but a load of rubbish! They're just occupying a position without doing anything. Everyone knows they're only seizing the Dragon Pearl because they want Li Cheng to become the Dragon God!"

They were just talking nonsense; they had no intention of dying because of the merman royal family!

My salary isn't even enough to live on, what's the point of risking my life?

Ning Jun sat on the dragon throne, the supreme throne that was originally reserved for the new dragon god who ascended to the throne and unified the four seas.

The Merfolk royal family moved out, originally intending it for Li Cheng, but it all benefited Ning Jun.

There are ten minutes left.

The merfolk royal family remained silent, watching the lowly commoners who had just defended them with cold eyes or mockery.

No mermaid was willing to trade their own life for the lives of other fish.

What? We merfolk uphold the merfolk dynasty? It's because we can actually whip the lower-class fish.

You lowly fish want to defend us? Do we need your worthless support?

The loyal underlings and royal lackeys felt a chill run down their spines as they looked at the cold-blooded royals.

Among them were many of the Li family's lackeys, who routinely regarded Li Cheng's words as gospel and followed his lead without question, serving as Li Cheng's right-hand men.

Many of the sabotages that Yang Zhen suffered were actually orchestrated by them.

Now, the former servants are facing a life-or-death crisis, constantly kowtowing and begging their masters for mercy.

"Li...the former Crown Prince...Lord Li Cheng!"

"I beg you!"

"Please have pity on me! I have an elderly mother to support and an eighty-year-old child to raise."

"As long as... as long as you can give me a spot, so that my family bloodline can continue—"

The demon seemed to have made a great decision, "Even in the Netherworld, I am still willing to serve your Li family!"

Li Cheng remained unmoved and stood by and watched.

A slave family can be discarded so easily; it doesn't bother the merfolk at all.

Anyway, as long as the green hills remain, there's always hope. Let's wait until news of Bai Ruanruan's disappearance reaches the Heavenly Court.

The Heavenly Court dispatched troops to eliminate Yang Zhen, this demonic dragon.

Bai Ruanruan ascended and returned to her position as the daughter of the God-King. As the God-King's son-in-law, he could easily transform into a flying dragon with just a little bit of resources.

Before that, all I wanted was to stay alive.

As for the families loyal to the royal family?

I don't care.

No matter how much the old ministers of the previous dynasty pleaded, the merman royal family remained unmoved.

With five minutes left.

At Ning Jun's instruction, the king crab picked up the harpoon, its fleshy face revealing a chilling smile:

"It's almost time!"

The seafood that spoke up for the merfolk wept uncontrollably, some kneeling, others pleading for mercy.

The merfolk royal family all tacitly remained silent.

Of course, Bai Ruanruan is among the royal family of merfolk.

As the Crown Princess, she was naturally the head mistress of the household.

In theory, her soul would not be scattered after her death, but would automatically return to the Heavenly Court.

Moreover, it can be considered a self-sacrificing act, as it will automatically return to its divine position and further enhance its power.

It's absolutely a win-win situation!

But she quietly hid among the merfolk, choosing to remain silent and pretend she hadn't seen anything.

She's not a savior goddess, so why should she save these monsters?

In her opinion, there is a difference between immortals and demons, and Yang Zhen should take action to kill these demons!

"Three minutes left!"

"If no member of the former royal family is willing to exchange their spot within three minutes, then I'm going to start!"

Crab General, along with his clansmen and former soldiers, surrounded the entire Dragon Palace.

It was so well-sealed that not even a fly could get out.

Someone in the school of fish suddenly spoke up.

"Fight!"

"These damn royals look down on us. We risk our lives for them, for the future of the ocean."

"And they mocked us, saying we're worthless!"

"I'm telling you, you're all worthless lives! Now, even if we die, we'll drag your merman royal family down with us!"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Those races that had been trampled underfoot by the merfolk finally began to rebel.

Use your last bit of magic to beat the drowning shark!

"His Majesty!"

"It's alright." Ning Jun watched this farce of the underdog overthrowing his superior with great interest.

"As long as they don't damage the surrounding buildings, we don't need to worry about it."

The two sides clashed, and the outcome was without suspense.

Some of the merman royals, stripped of their bloodline, were powerless to resist, and were brutally disemboweled by the peasants trampled underfoot.

Some members of the royal family who still had some means of dealing with the common people showed no mercy, beating them to a pulp.

Do whatever is most ruthless.

Although I don't know anything about the Dragon God, don't I know anything about merfolk/peasants?!

Towards outsiders, I'm subservient. But to my own people, I strike hard!

Throughout the wedding plaza, guests and hosts were incredibly enthusiastic. Wherever the merman royalty went, the people welcomed them with utmost warmth and sincerity, sharing their innermost thoughts and feelings.

That vibrant scene, where everything flourishes, is still vivid in my mind!

Three minutes have passed.

The wedding ceremony at the Deep Sea Dragon Palace was a scene of perfect harmony between the emperor and his subjects.

A clever seafood creature, holding the head of a royal, said, "Your Majesty, this merman has already died in my place. Can you spare my life?"

Ning Jun nodded.

The king crab added from the side.

"This merman died because of you, so you must carry on his legacy and live well!"

Upon hearing this, all the "lower demons" looked at Li Cheng and the other merfolk with burning desire.
