The Sea Dragon King had a foreboding feeling.
Bai Nianchen said awkwardly, "Actually, this world is no longer the one you originally belonged to."
"What? What do you mean?"
Bai Nianchen spent ten minutes patiently explaining the situation of Blue Star to the Sea Dragon King.
The Sea Dragon King's face turned pale again; this was simply unacceptable to him.
"Then the world I was in..."
"Uh, well... if nothing unexpected happened, the world you were in should have been destroyed by those extraterrestrial evil creatures..."
"What? How could this be?"
"This is just my guess! Your Dragon Palace, to us, is actually a secret realm with temporal laws. The flow of time is two hundred times faster than outside. We cultivate here for two hundred days, and only one day passes in the outside world. And as our guide, Immortal Brother, revealed, when he claimed this place as a secret realm, it meant it had become ownerless..."
"How... how could this be?"
The Sea Dragon King was utterly dejected. If this was not his world, what was the point of his existence?
Where were his children? Had they already been annihilated?
In fact, he should have realized it much earlier. During these ten thousand years, Lamor had mentioned more than once how powerful the forces they had deployed were.
If the situation was as he described, his world, with only three Great Emperors, likely stood no chance.
Melancholy and sorrow filled his heart. However, he had been trapped here for ten thousand years, and the Sea Dragon King's inner strength was considerable; his Dao Heart would not collapse.
No one spoke, giving the Sea Dragon King a few minutes to adjust his state of mind.
"Hoo, regardless, thank you all. Otherwise, I would have died without knowing the state of the outside world, nor would I have ever been able to avenge my brothers..."
"Not at all, senior. You flatter us. What are your plans? Why not come back to Blue Star with us? Your appearance in our world would be absolutely explosive!"
The Sea Dragon King sighed and said, "I don't have much time left to live. Let me return to dust and earth, buried with my Dragon Palace..."
Wang Teng was anxious and quickly said, "Senior, don't be so down! In our world, such thoughts would get you sent for psychological treatment!"
"But..."
"Don't worry, senior. Lifespan is a minor issue. Immortal Brother has a magnificent medicinal garden. He can just let you eat some sacred medicine, and it will be perfectly fine!"
The Sea Dragon King's eyelids twitched wildly. Eat some sacred medicine casually? Are you serious?
"Nonsense! How can sacred medicine be wasted on a dying man like me?"
"Ah, this... Senior, don't place too much importance on sacred medicine. As long as we participate in a trial and win first place, we can obtain immortal medicine!"
"That's right, that's right! If Senior still harbors hatred towards the evil creatures, you can completely join us and mercilessly slaughter them soon!"
Shen Yingxue also said, "Exactly, Immortal Brother is very reasonable. My eyes had problems when I was having my aptitude assessed, and Immortal Brother treated my eyes for free!"
The Sea Dragon King felt they were toying with him and harbored doubts about their so-called Immortal Brother.
He was reasonable? What kind of supreme being would leave no trump cards for his disciples and completely let them fend for themselves?
"Let's not talk about this for now. Let me show you around my Dragon Palace..."
At this, everyone's expressions turned somewhat unnatural.
This was precisely why they had asked the Sea Dragon King not to thank them prematurely.
Li Qingyun said with a forced smile, "Senior, please don't be angry with what I'm about to say!"
"What happened? Was the Dragon Palace destroyed? Impossible! Before you guys, I didn't sense anyone coming!"
"We... emptied out your home."
The Sea Dragon King's face stiffened. He finally understood why these youngsters were so awkward when he thanked them.
So, the ones who saved him weren't heroes, but burglars who had broken in!
"Never mind, never mind, it's not important anymore. My children are gone too. Consider it my contribution of resources to the human race of this world."
Luo Xiaowei raised another awkward question, "Senior, should we help you deal with the corpses here?"
The others also looked on expectantly.
The Sea Dragon King suddenly felt that the humans of this world were not as endearing as he had imagined.
Needless to say, they must have their eyes on the storage rings on their bodies!
"Fine, fine, go ahead. It's all unimportant now..."
They had already searched countless corpses in the [Li Huo Palace], and the discomfort had long since vanished.
Even Shen Yingxue, who had seemed so innocent before, was almost turned into a killer by the Empress Wan Hua. Searching a few skeletons would naturally not cause any discomfort; rather, she was quite excited.
"Don't hide anything! Resources will be divided equally, equally!"
"Hey, A'wei, did you pocket a spirit stone?"
"Damn it, you found it even when it was so well hidden?"
"..."
With the Sea Dragon King's consent, everyone's spirits were high.
They had jointly killed a peak Soul Transformation realm Sky Slaying Clan member! Although it was a very weak Sky Slaying Clan member whose cultivation had greatly declined.
But that was unimportant. It was like defeating a Boss with very little health in a game; when you bragged about it to others, you'd naturally say you defeated him at full health. It boosted your confidence and allowed for a great show-off.
After dividing the spoils, they all thanked the Sea Dragon King with satisfaction.
After all, this was akin to robbing a house in front of the landlord. If the landlord didn't agree, it would be quite awkward.
However, they were all very responsible and erected tombstones for the fallen Sea Dragon warriors.
They also piled the skeletal remains of the Sky Slaying Clan members before the tombs. The bones of their enemies were their glory.
Everyone lined up, saluted these piled tombstones, and then bowed deeply.
It was a solemn ceremony. The Sea Dragon King hadn't expected these juniors to do something so ritualistic; he was deeply moved.
The Sea Dragon clan were humans with beast bloodlines. Even if they were not in the same world, they faced the same enemy.
Moreover, it was highly probable that the world the Sea Dragon King belonged to had already been destroyed by the Sky Slaying Clan.
This was a commemoration for the heroes who died fighting a world that failed to resist the evil creatures.
As everyone departed from this space, the Sea Dragon King remained alone before the tomb, gazing at his warriors.
Suddenly, a spatial fluctuation occurred.
The Sea Dragon King was startled and stood ready. Then, he saw a young man, about twenty years old, emerge.
"Respected Sea Dragon King, hello."
The Sea Dragon King's legs trembled, and he couldn't stand up at all.
"Immortal..."
