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

When Tuntian regained consciousness, he found himself lying on a vast blue sea.

A sea breeze blows, white clouds drift slowly across the sky, and sunlight shines on the sea, reflecting shimmering golden light.

Everything was calm, as calm as if nothing had happened.

Tuntian slowly sat up, but his brows furrowed little by little.

Wait a minute! I seem to have forgotten something?

Why is he here? And why is he injured?

Tuntian glanced down.

His black clothes were torn in several places, and there was a deep wound on his chest. His blood and qi were also somewhat disordered, indicating that he had just experienced an extremely fierce battle.

However, there is no memory of the person he fought.

No matter how he tried to recall it, he felt as if a thin mist was shrouding the depths of his mind.

"What was I supposed to do again?"

Tuntian stood up.

His gaze was fixed on the depths of the open sea.

After a moment, he finally remembered.

Vast Sea of ​​Glazed Dragon.

My reason for leaving the core spirit beast land this time is to find the Vast Sea Glazed True Dragon.

Over the years, the conflict between humans and spirit beasts has deepened.

Spirit masters constantly hunt spirit beasts to obtain spirit cores.

The living space for spirit beasts is shrinking with each act of oppression.

Whether on land or at sea, more and more spirit beasts are advocating for a complete war against the human race.

The Vast Sea Glazed Dragon was one of the most resolute in its attitude.

Three months later, it will lead the spirit beasts of the outer sea to wage a real war against the human race in this sea area.

Devouring Heaven certainly understood why it had come to this point.

The spirit beast race has been oppressed for far too long.

For countless years, all the spirit beasts have been repeatedly instilled with the same idea.

Humans are the enemy, the divine realm is the enemy.

One day, the spirit beasts will reclaim their rightful place in the world.

Devouring Heaven himself also bears this responsibility.

Countless spirit beasts call him the Spirit Beast God.

Countless eyes were on him, hoping that he could lead the spirit beast race to rise again.

But the longer you live, the more you know.

The more Devourer of Heaven understood, the clearer it became to where the real problem lay in this war.

After the dragons were defeated, the spirit beasts lost their voice at a higher level.

The divine realm does not allow spirit beasts to become gods; the rules themselves weigh heavily on the spirit beasts.

In this situation, no matter how many people or spirit beasts die on the Martial Spirit Continent, it will not change the true state of affairs.

The battles between humans and spirit beasts on the continent are merely the surface.

The battlefield that truly determined everything ended countless years ago.

Devouring Heaven knew this, and so did the Jade Silver Dragon King.

But how can these words be conveyed to the spirit beasts below, whose hearts are already filled with hatred?

Tell them not to resist?

Tell them that even if they fight desperately, it will be meaningless?

That would be tantamount to destroying their last hope.

A complex emotion flashed in Devouring Heaven's eyes.

The Vast Ocean Glazed True Dragon is the most outstanding descendant of the Sea Spirit Beast clan in tens of thousands of years.

Nine hundred and ninety thousand years of cultivation.

Just one step away from entering a million years.

It has talent, skill, and prestige.

It would be such a pity to die in a war that was never going to be won.

The wrong war should not be paid for with the lives of these outstanding younger generations.

Tuntian looked up and gazed into the depths of the outer sea.

I didn't continue to ponder what I had forgotten.

The space slowly cracked open in front of him.

The next moment, his figure had already disappeared.

……

Deep in the trench.

Gu Changjin fell back to the seabed.

Devourer had already left, and at the same time, he had used the power of borrowing a seed to alter his understanding, leaving a mark deep within his soul.

Gu Changjin lowered his eyes and looked at the broken trench at his feet.

A thought subtly stirred within me.

The entire sea area trembled as a result.

As the seabed rock layers continued to rise, towering red jade peaks emerged from the earth, connecting with each other to form a massive foundation stretching for hundreds of miles.

Immediately afterwards, the seawater parted on its own.

Palaces, as red as jade and glazed glass, rose one after another from the ground.

The palace gate is over a thousand feet high, with stone dragon statues of water and fire coiled on both sides.

The palace walls were crystal clear, yet inside, crimson flames slowly swirled.

Streaks of aquamarine blue patterns extended from the depths of the palace, eventually connecting with the entire trench.

In a short while, the once desolate and broken trench was transformed into a massive dragon palace.

Crimson Jade and Glazed Dragon Palace.

Gu Changjin stood above the Dragon Palace and nodded slightly in satisfaction.

The rules of this world are far weaker than those of the main world.

The Blue Star Realm Seed can easily alter the surrounding world with just a slight spread.

Moreover, he now possesses the complete body of a true dragon.

In this continent of Douling, the status of a true dragon naturally grants them the power to rule over aquatic creatures.

With the establishment of the Dragon Palace, an invisible call spread from the trench to the entire open sea.

Countless sea creatures raised their heads at the same time.

They had no idea what had happened.

They simply sensed instinctively that an extremely noble being was summoning them.

The nearest spirit beasts have begun to converge on the Dragon Palace.

Schools of sea fish, giant whales leading the way, and sea spirit beasts with thousands or tens of thousands of years of cultivation rushed in from all directions.

The four 100,000-year-old spirit beasts that were first controlled by Gu Changjin using the True Spirit Mark of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect stood respectfully guarding in front of the Dragon Palace.

Although the true spirit imprints of the Great Demon Kings on their bodies were forcibly shattered during the battle with Devouring Heaven, the residual effects were still profound.

Gu Changjin's gaze fell on the Ice Armored Tortoise.

"You lived the longest."

"From now on, I will be the turtle prime minister of this Dragon Palace."

The sound faded.

A beam of crimson jade light fell from Gu Changjin's fingertip and merged into the body of the Ice Armored Tortoise.

The originally enormous turtle body rapidly changed.

A moment later, an old man carrying a tortoise shell and wearing a green robe appeared in front of the Dragon Palace.

The previously somewhat chaotic light in his eyes quickly became clear.

"This old minister pays respects to the Dragon Lord!"

The Turtle Prime Minister knelt on the ground, his voice filled with awe.

Gu Changjin then looked at the deep-sea shark.

The red jade divine light fell.

The Demon Shark's blood surged, and its form quickly transformed into a burly man clad in black armor.

"I hereby appoint you as General Zhenhai."

"This humble general pays his respects to the Dragon Lord!"

The giant purple-patterned octopus and the two-headed, azure-scaled sea serpent were also enlightened.

One was responsible for guarding the Dragon Palace, and the other was responsible for patrolling the outer sea.

With the combined blessing of the True Dragon status and the rules of the realm, the cultivation of the four 100,000-year-old spirit beasts surged once again.

Originally, it had just reached the level of 100,000 years of accumulation, but it quickly progressed into a ferocious beast.

Among them, the Ice Armored Xuan Turtle, which had accumulated the most power, was rising steadily, and was faintly touching the edge of a million-year-old divine beast.

Soon, thanks to his true dragon bloodline and the attraction of the Dragon Palace, the sea spirit beasts he summoned began to arrive one after another.

A giant, red-armored crab that had cultivated for ten thousand years followed a horde of beasts to the outside of the Dragon Palace.

Gu Changjin only glanced at it.

He was appointed as the Crab General.

The red jade divine light fell.

The bloodline within the Cancer's body undergoes an instant transformation.

Ten thousand years! Fifty thousand years! One hundred thousand years!

Finally, he broke through the level of a ferocious beast and transformed into a burly man wearing red armor and wielding two hammers.

Another ancient sea shrimp was also transformed into a shrimp soldier.

His cultivation level also surged to 100,000 years in the blink of an eye.

For the spirit beasts of this realm, intelligence, bloodline, and age are the three most difficult hurdles to overcome.

But it can be with Gu Changjin.

All it takes is a decree.

The true dragon rules over the aquatic creatures; this authority is bestowed upon it by the rules of heaven and earth.

The Blue Star species, however, amplified this authority to an almost unreasonable degree.

More importantly, the Turtle Prime Minister, the Sea-Suppressing General, and the Shrimp and Crab Soldiers who received imperial decrees also possessed some of the ability to enlighten lower-level aquatic creatures.

Although they are far inferior to Gu Changjin, given time, they can continuously select suitable spirit beasts from the outer sea and incorporate them into the Dragon Palace system.

A ten-thousand-year-old spirit beast was brought in, enlightened, and allowed to break through the ten-thousand-year mark, after which it was sent to recruit more sea spirit beasts.

In this way, the entire outer sea will become the foundation for the Dragon Palace's expansion.

Gu Changjin did not allow them to make too much noise immediately.

The great war three months later had not yet begun.

It's not time to expose ourselves yet.

All the enlightened spirit beasts are temporarily concentrated in the Dragon Palace and the nearby sea area.

On the surface, this open sea remains calm.

But beneath the sea, a vast network is spreading outwards from the Crimson Jade Glazed Dragon Palace.

Meanwhile, in the deeper parts of the open sea.

A palace, forged from the bones of a giant whale and the cold jade of the deep sea, hangs silently in the dark waters.

A man dressed in a navy blue robe stood in front of the hall.

His face was cold and stern, with two glass dragon horns on his forehead, and behind him, the boundless sea tides rose and fell faintly.

A spirit beast with a lifespan of 990,000 years.

Vast Sea of ​​Glazed Dragon.

Just then, the seawater in front of the palace suddenly parted to the sides.

Devouring Heaven stepped out of the spatial rift.

For the first time, the gazes of the two beings who stood at the pinnacle of spirit beasts met in the depths of the outer sea.
