Just as the old patriarch forced me to my death, I achieved the unity of Dao and fruition.

The icy seawater pressed in from all directions. Gu Changjin opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was a dark seabed.

Somewhere overhead, a faint light pierced the water. All around were undulating reefs, with fine sand being swirled up by the undercurrents and then slowly settling back down.

He looked down at himself; his body was only a little over two feet long, and thinner than an adult's wrist.

Its back is covered with a layer of blue-black scales, with a touch of light silver at the edges, which are not conspicuous in the seawater.

Its abdomen is a lighter grayish-white, its head is flat, its snout is slightly pointed, and its two venomous fangs have grown out, but the venom is only enough to kill ordinary sea fish.

It also has extremely thin fin membranes on both sides of its tail, which softly cling to its body as the seawater sways.

Gu Changjin remained silent for a moment.

"Sea snakes are one thing."

"Why is it still a small sea snake that hasn't fully grown out yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Dao Fruit trembled slightly.

A wisp of Dao Yuan descended from the Dao Fruit and directly entered this tiny body.

hum!

A light blue glow seeped from beneath the scales.

In the blink of an eye, it enveloped the entire sea serpent, forming a semi-transparent blue cocoon of light.

The surrounding seawater was slowly pushed aside.

The small fish and shrimp hiding in the crevices of the rocks seemed to sense something and fled in panic to the distance.

The Dao Yuan flows continuously through the muscles, bones, and flesh.

The originally fragile bones began to become tough, the scales thickened inch by inch, and the color gradually changed from bluish-black to dark blue.

Their bodies also began to grow, two feet, three feet... five feet, and finally grew to nearly ten feet before slowly stopping.

Although it is still pitifully small compared to the massive, ten-thousand-foot-tall Bashe Dharma Form in the main world.

At least it's no longer a young snake that can be swallowed whole by any big fish that comes along.

Gu Changjin adapted to this body, and at the same time, the Dao Yuan of Guiyi continued to flow in, making the little sea serpent's body continue to grow stronger.

At the same time, the future scenes that Daoguo had extracted from the river of fate continued to flood into his consciousness.

In the Martial Spirit Continent, all people who reach adulthood will awaken their own Martial Spirit.

Some awaken ordinary plants, some awaken swords and weapons, and some awaken birds and beasts, and even mythical creatures from legends.

These practitioners are called spiritual masters.

Between heaven and earth, a vast number of mythical beasts live.

If a spiritual master wants to continue to break through, they must hunt spiritual beasts and condense a spiritual core.

The enmity between humans and spirit beasts has thus continued for countless years.

The first glimpse of the future that Gu Changjin saw.

Three young prodigies have emerged out of nowhere.

The leader was named Long Xuan. He and his two companions grew together and eventually defeated the Martial Spirit Hall, which had ruled the Martial Spirit Continent for many years.

The three ascended to the divine positions one after another.

The old order was broken.

A new era has begun.

"Three people were made gods."

"Re-establish order on the continent."

As Gu Changjin watched the rapidly flashing images, he felt a strange sense of familiarity.

It's like a story I saw in a past life.

While the details are similar, many parts are completely different.

At the same time, the captured fragments of fate did not follow a chronological order, but suddenly appeared in an even more ancient era.

There once was an ancient dragon lord who ruled over all beasts and waged a great war against the gods of the divine realm.

That battle shattered the realm of gods, and countless divine beasts perished.

The ancient dragon lord was eventually killed, and his nine dragon kings either died or fled.

The Crimson Gold Dragon King, possessing the strongest physical body and destructive power, withstood the combined attack of several gods from the divine realm to protect the Jade Silver Dragon King, who possessed the strongest elemental power and wisdom, as they escaped to safety.

However, since this battle, the lineage of divine beasts has completely declined.

The scene changed again.

Many years after the three gods were conferred their titles.

The Martial Spirit Continent has entered a new era.

For the first time, a unified Martial Spirit Federation appeared on the continent.

Subsequently, human technology developed rapidly, and all kinds of psionic weapons emerged one after another.

The living space for spirit beasts has been further compressed.

After a longer period of time, a human boy inherited the remnant soul and bloodline of the Crimson Gold Dragon King.

The Jade Silver Dragon King, who had been asleep for many years, also walked the world in human form.

They were hostile to each other, yet drew closer to one another, ultimately attempting to find a way for humans and spirit beasts to coexist.

But that future is too vague.

Gu Changjin could only see some key fragments.

The Jade Silver Dragon King once vowed to revive the spirit beast race.

In the end, however, she stood beside a young human.

The remnant soul and bloodline left behind by the Crimson Gold Dragon King gradually dissipated from the young man's body.

The final act of resistance by the spirit beasts seemed to have lost its two most important forces before it had even truly begun.

At this point, another solitary figure gradually appears in the scene of destiny.

The Vast Ocean Glazed True Dragon hid in the depths of the outer sea from an extremely weak age, cultivating step by step, avoiding the pursuit of human powerhouses, and also avoiding several great calamities of spirit beasts.

It has lived for too long, and waited for too long.

My adoptive father, the Sea Abyss Demon Whale King, was killed by the leader of the Three Gods, and his million years of cultivation were transformed into the enemy's spiritual core.

The foster mother wanted revenge, but was possessed by the Eternal Lord and ultimately perished along with him.

Before her death, her adoptive father entrusted her to his younger sister, Lan Li, who later fell in love with the son of her father's killer.

The Jade Silver Dragon King, who should have been the greatest hope for the spirit beasts, was also pushed to the opposite side by the human youth who carried the bloodline of the golden dragon.

Everyone retreated, except for the Vast Ocean Glazed Dragon, which continued to move forward.

It gathers the spirit beasts of the sea and accumulates millions of years of cultivation.

They even went so far as to forcibly challenge the laws of heaven and earth, attempting to break the restriction that "spiritual beasts cannot become gods."

In the end, all that supported it were the spirit beasts in the vast outer sea.

In the scene of fate.

The true dragon stood atop the black sea tide, with countless sea beasts behind it.

Before him stood the inheritors left by the gods of the human race, and the Jade Silver Dragon King, who had once said he would revive the spirit beasts.

At that moment, it did not retreat, but instead looked up to the sky and cried out, its voice echoing throughout the entire sea.

"The vast ocean flows endlessly, a million autumns have passed since then."

"Leaning on the railing, I feel a deep loneliness; my dreams are heavy with sorrow and parting."

"The family's wealth is exhausted, and life is but a fleeting dream; success and failure are but a dream."

"I return today, but I am no longer myself; things have changed, people have changed, and my tears are all gone."

The image is shattered.

Gu Changjin remained silent for a moment, although what he saw was incomplete, and many causes and effects were only a blurry corner.

But he understood the feeling of giving it your all, only to watch helplessly as all your hard work goes down the drain.

"What a pity!"

"To bear the thought of millions of years of hard work being wasted in the eastward flow of time."

A sense of emotion just rose in Gu Changjin's heart.

The destiny of this sea serpent itself has finally come to light.

It's very short, so short it's almost laughable.

Three months later, an earth-shattering battle will erupt in this open sea.

Led by the spirit beast god Devourer and the Jade Silver Dragon King, countless spirit beasts clashed head-on with the human race's powerful warriors.

The Vast Sea Glazed Dragon then appeared from the deepest part of the sea.

The tide surged skyward, beasts roared, and the entire open sea was nearly shattered.

This little sea snake originally didn't even qualify to approach the battlefield.

It was only hit by the aftershock of a wave that swept across the seabed.

His body exploded instantly.

Not even a body was left.

It had no idea what had happened.

No one knows that it ever existed.

Fate has come to an end.

Gu Changjin looked at the scene and suddenly smiled.

"Three months."

"Like a stray dog ​​on the street, to be run over and killed at will?"

If it's still the same little sea snake.

Naturally, one can only accept one's fate.

But now, he's here.
