Livestreaming Forbidden Zone: Starting with a Qilin Tattoo Terrifies the Entire Internet

"Old dried fish, it's been 30,000 years! How come you're still not cooked?"

A grand, ancient, and desolate sound, like the tearing apart of tectonic plates, carrying a pure and undisguised disappointment, resounded deep within Anas's mind.

The source of the voice, Behemoth, the Tyrant of the Abyss, slowly rose from the island-like back of Kraken, the Serpent of the World.

Click—click—

A bone-chilling roar rang out, not from broken bones, but from the fact that Kraken's flesh and blood body, composed of countless twisted human faces, was being crushed and collapsed under the weight of Behemoth, which was comparable to a mountain!

Thousands of silent screaming faces contorted in that instant, as if enduring the deepest tortures of hell.

Kraken let out a soul-deep wail, and the entire "living island" trembled violently.

The viewers in the live stream felt a chill run down their spines just by watching the scene.

[Holy crap...it hurts, it hurts so much! I can feel the giant octopus's pain even through the screen!]

[This isn't a cushion, it's a torture device for living people!]

[Behemoth: It feels good on the pitch, but it's a bit noisy.]

Behemoth's gaze lingered on Anas's charred and shriveled body for only a second before he looked away as if it were a roadside stone, completely unconcerned.

When its gaze fell upon Jiang Han, the pure disappointment and disgust instantly transformed into a fervent, almost pilgrimage-like devotion!

Its body is shrinking rapidly.

From its towering height of a hundred meters, it shrank rapidly at a visible speed, eventually becoming a grotesque humanoid figure about three meters tall, covered entirely in bone armor.

It leaped lightly off Kraken and landed steadily on the seabed in front of Jiang Han.

The surrounding seawater had already stirred up towering waves because of his simple movement of getting up, but the area where he landed was eerily calm, without even a grain of sand being stirred up.

"Little...Little Behemoth..."

Anas trembled like a leaf in the autumn wind. He looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure in front of him, and his voice trembled as he opened his mouth.

He tried to force a smile, but the expression on his face, which had been baked by lava for 30,000 years, was even more unsightly than crying.

"Long time no see... You've grown so much..."

"It's all over! It's all over! How does this jinx still remember me?! Thirty thousand years! How does he still remember me?!"

Anas was screaming inwardly; all he wanted to do was find a crack in the ground and disappear forever.

Behemoth snorted coldly, the sound like two huge granite blocks colliding, making one's heart feel heavy.

"It has indeed been a long time, teacher."

It deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word "teacher," but there was no respect in its tone, only an overwhelming malice.

"What a pity."

Behemoth tilted his head, a hint of playful cruelty flashing in his enormous eyes.

"Every time I wake up from my slumber and see you struggling painfully in the lava of this Ruins of Return, I can't help but personally add a few more spoonfuls of the freshest lava for you."

"It looks like... in another thousand or eight hundred years, you will be completely refined into a pile of ashes."

It paused for a moment, then turned its gaze to Jiang Han, its tone instantly making a complete 180-degree turn, becoming extremely respectful, even carrying a hint of barely perceptible grievance.

"How did I... end up being saved by my master?"

Those last three words were spoken with such obedience, with such a sense of entitlement.

However, when paired with the preceding declaration of "deep affection between master and disciple," these three words sound incredibly chilling!

The global live stream exploded!

Holy crap!!!

[What is top-tier PUA?! Tactical lean back! The student personally heats up the teacher's lava bath, and does so for 30,000 years!]

I declare this to be the best mentor-student relationship of the year, bar none! Who agrees? Who disagrees?!

[Fish Bro: I was terrified.jpg]

[Such filial piety! Filial piety breeds strength! Filial piety moves Heaven!]

[Is this some kind of plot that carbon-based life forms could come up with? I've really seen something new today!]

Jiang Han listened expressionlessly, but almost burst out laughing inside.

"This big guy is interesting."

He looked at Anas, who was frozen in place and completely petrified, and then at Behemoth, who was being extremely respectful to him. He felt that this trip to the Ruins was getting more and more interesting.

Completely ignoring the terrified "teacher," Behemoth faced Jiang Han, suddenly knelt on one knee, clenched its right fist, and pounded heavily on its left chest.

A Qin Dynasty military salute that couldn't be more perfect!

Its movements were meticulous, full of power and a chilling aura from ancient times.

"Owner!"

Its voice was filled with the ecstasy of reunion and a hint of incomprehensible confusion.

"Forgive my poor eyesight! Your bloodline is so pure, so fiery, exactly as described in the legends of the Holy King! But... but why do you walk in this filthy world in a human body?"

It suddenly raised its head, and its eyes, which were like a giant lava lake, flashed with the light of wild imagination.

"Could it be... that some earth-shattering event has occurred in the upper realm that we are unaware of?"

"Or are you experiencing a kind of spiritual practice called 'mortal cultivation'?"

Behemoth began frantically searching for a "reasonable" explanation for Jiang Han's appearance that could be made in its own logic.

The more it thought about it, the more it realized that this was indeed the case, and the expression on its face changed from confusion to sudden understanding and even greater reverence.

"With that kind of imaginative ability, it's a waste that she's not writing novels."

Jiang Han silently complained in his heart, but his face still maintained that inscrutable expression.

He spoke softly, his voice not loud, yet it reached Behemoth's ears clearly.

"I'm just an ordinary explorer."

"I came here to satisfy the curiosity of my lovely audience."

Upon hearing this, the viewers in the live stream burst out laughing.

[Here it comes! Another classic quote from Jiang Shen!]

[Translation: I'm just here to have fun, so what? You got a problem with that? Fine, then shut up!]

[Behemoth: I don't believe you! You're a wicked old geezer!]

[An explorer? Yes, an "ordinary" explorer who can make an SSS-class warden kneel down!]

Behemoth paused for a moment, clearly not following Jiang Han's train of thought.

But it dared not question it, and could only interpret it as "the owner's unique sense of humor".

Just then, Anas, who had been frozen like a dead fish, seemed to have gained a little courage after seeing that Behemoth was still quite respectful to Jiang Han.

He stammered, "Little...Little Behemoth, please use respectful terms when addressing Her Highness! Do not be rude!"

The voice just fell.

Behemoth turned his head sharply, his huge eyes glancing at him sideways.

That look was like looking at a hopeless idiot.

"It seems that 30,000 years of lava bathing has completely turned your brain into mush."

Its voice was full of contempt and disdain.

"Your Highness?"

"If he were truly a descendant of that useless royal family of Atlantis, who only knew how to fight amongst themselves and indulge in extravagant banquets, do you think he would still be standing here talking to me?"

"I would have crushed him, along with your ashes, into the deepest abyss of desolation long ago!"

Behemoth's voice, like a thunderclap, struck Anas hard on the head.

It also shattered his last remaining illusion about "Your Highness".

"This...this is impossible..."

Anas was completely dumbfounded. He stared blankly at Jiang Han, then at Behemoth, feeling as if his worldview, built up over 30,000 years, had been shattered in this moment.

Behemoth ignored the old fish that was starting to question its existence and turned back to Jiang Han, respectfully making a "please" gesture.

The finger, thicker than Jiang Han himself, carefully pointed to the enormous Kraken behind him.

"Master, ignore this mad fish. The prisons of the Great Qin can indeed drive a so-called god insane."

"Come to my former throne and tell this old servant what interesting things have happened on land over the past thirty thousand years."

Jiang Han nodded and did not refuse.

The instant his foot touched Kraken's soft, enormous head.

A series of cold system notifications flashed through his mind!

[Ding! Detected strong desire from the key storyline character, Abyss Tyrant Behemoth!]

[Ding! SSS-rank hidden side quest triggered: The Warden's Nostalgia!]

[Mission Description: Behemoth, the Abyss Tyrant, is a loyal jailer left behind at the bottom of the Ruins by the Qin Empire. He has been trapped here for over 30,000 years, his longing for his home planet deeply ingrained. Please help him return to his home planet, the 'Ancient Titan Realm'.]

[Mission Rewards: SSS-level Titan Bloodline Affinity (Passive), Qin Dynasty Interstellar Route Map (Fragment) x1!]

[Quest Item: Ancient Titan Boundary Stargate Coordinates x1, automatically sent to your system inventory!]

Jiang Han raised an eyebrow slightly.

"You've come at the perfect time."

He glanced at the coordinates emitting a faint glow in his system inventory, then at Behemoth beside him who was looking at him expectantly, and understood.

The effect of this [Causality Law - Destiny Coin] is simply outrageous.

The three... no, it was a person, a fish, and a beast, sitting strangely around the entrance of the Ruins of Return, where endless lava was churning.

Kraken's massive body has become the most comfortable viewing platform.

Behemoth began to recount his past.

It turns out that it is not a native species of Earth at all.

More than 30,000 years ago, it was still a "child" and was "tricked" into coming to Earth from its home planet "Ancient Titan Realm" by Anas's ancestor, a god-king of Atlantis, using sweet words.

They called it an invitation to a grand banquet.

As a result, they didn't get to attend the banquet. The message had just arrived through the Five-Colored Altar when they were caught up in the world-ending "Great Flood".

Atlantis sank, the five-colored altar was destroyed, and the coordinates to return home were completely lost.

It was thus trapped at the bottom of this dark and desolate Ruins, serving as a free jailer for 30,000 years.

"...The situation was urgent, I...I was just trying to save my life..."

Anas lowered his head in shame, his voice barely audible.

"I originally planned to wait until things calmed down before trying to send Little Behemoth back, but who knew... all the stargate coordinates were completely destroyed with the sinking of Atlantis..."

Behemoth let out a disdainful snort, clearly not believing a word of the explanation.

It once again ignored Anas, who was still struggling with the identity of "Princess," and looked at Jiang Han with an almost pleading gaze.

"Owner."

Its towering, mountain-like body now revealed a hint of almost fragile expectation, completely incongruous with its size.

"Has the stargate jump route been restarted on land yet?"

"Can we... this old servant... still go home?"

In those eyes, which were like a giant lava lake, shimmered a light called "nostalgia".

This intense emotion contrasts sharply with its world-destroying appearance.

Jiang Han looked at its expectant eyes, then glanced discreetly at the newly generated coordinates of the Primordial Titan Realm in his system inventory.

A meaningful smile curved his lips, but he did not answer immediately.

He asked slowly in return.

"Home?"

"Are there many pets as 'small' as you in your hometown?"
