I Open Treasure Chests in the Apocalypse

When Earth becomes a battlefield and killing becomes the norm, everyone eagerly awaits their desired items from treasure chests dropped by monsters. But he, having opened so many treasure chests, h...

Chapter 1520 The Story of Emperor Yu

Jiang Yuan never imagined that this simple meeting would turn out like this. Suo Mo deliberately let him go to the Ancient Sea Dragon Palace to find An Xiaoyu, but he had no idea what Suo Mo's intentions were.

However, he had no choice, because the half-dead from the Sea King's Palace had already arrived. If he did not leave the Prison Abyss, he would inevitably be killed on the spot, and then there would truly be no room for maneuver.

The moment Jiang Yuan left the Prison Abyss, he was very glad that he had made arrangements in advance. Otherwise, Deng Kuan and the others would not have been able to survive on the eighteenth floor without his help. Fortunately, everything was still under control.

After getting rid of the half-dead one from the Sea King's Palace, Jiang Yuan had been in the Ancient Sea Abyss for more than seven days. His merman disguise had also been removed, so his human identity would become a beacon in the ocean, and countless dangers would come toward him.

But compared to those who have dedicated their lives to the deep sea for the sake of China, what are a few dangers?

"Sister Suxin, I have arrived at the Ancient Sea Abyss!"

The first thing Jiang Yuan did after leaving Qiuyuan was to communicate with Gong Suxin. He had been missing for seven days, and the other side of the oath must be anxious, so he had to report that he was safe.

The telepathic communication was delayed for a while, but in the end, I received Gong Suxin's message.

"Finally, you've deigned to contact me. So, any news about Xiaoyu?"

Jiang Yuan said dejectedly, "We haven't found the person yet, but it seems I've lost Leng Yue again."

His original intention was to let Leng Yue leave the Prison Abyss and move freely, but he never expected that she would run into the one in the sea clam.

Jiang Yuan told Gong Suxin everything he knew. Gong Suxin had lived for hundreds of years and knew far more about ancient times than he did.

"You mean, it was Emperor Yu's lover who took Xiaoyu and the others away?" Gong Suxin also found it quite unbelievable.

“It’s highly likely. The warden of the Prison Abyss pointed me in the right direction and told me to go to the Ancient Sea Dragon Palace to find her. I don’t know much about the sea race, so I wanted to ask what you think.” Jiang Yuan expressed his concerns; he didn’t want to rush into the Ancient Sea Dragon Palace like a headless fly.

"If it really is her, then we're in big trouble." Gong Suxin's tone became serious.

"Sister Suxin, could you tell me more specifically?"

Jiang Yuan wanted to sort out the previous grievances between Emperor Yu and the Sea Clan, so he could only seek help from Gong Suxin.

"Alright, then we have to start with the eighth battlefield, the Battlefield of Godfall!"

"The Battlefield of Fallen Gods was the most glorious battlefield for the human race. At that time, the Holy Demon Race, the human race, and the sea race formed a three-way balance of power. Although the friction between the Holy Demon Race and the human race was the most intense, the sea race still launched many attacks on the human race. The most influential of these was the war between land and sea."

"Three hundred years after the fall of the gods, the sea race officially declared war on the land, launching the largest ancient sea holy war ever." At that time, the human race had already produced three emperors, but the most prosperous era had ended a hundred years ago. The three emperors disappeared, the gods were killed, and the new generation of the human race, led by Yu the Great and others, formed a force to fight against the sea race.

"But it was the end of the Tianqi era. The land was defeated by the massive offensive of the sea race, losing nearly 70% of its land. The remaining 30% was also constantly plagued by floods, and the entire land was in grave danger. It was at that time that Emperor Yu, who possessed the inheritance of the dragon race, received news of the Sea-Stabilizing Needle. No one knew where Emperor Yu went during that time, but when he returned, he brought back the Sea-Stabilizing Needle."

"It was also because of the Sea-Stabilizing Needle that the human race on the Eastern Emperor Star stabilized under its protection. In contrast, the Western Emperor Star was swallowed by the ocean, and only the superior beings who boarded Noah's Ark survived."

"That ancient sea holy war ended hastily, but the sea race's commanding family at the time suffered a sharp decline in status within the sea race due to dereliction of duty and failure to conquer the Eastern Emperor Star."

"At that time, the family that commanded the sea tribes was none other than the Ancient Sea Dragon Palace!"

"And Emperor Yu's beloved was the Dragon Maiden of the Ancient Sea Dragon Palace. After the Ancient Sea Holy War, the Dragon Maiden had her dragon tendons removed and was eternally suppressed in the deep sea."

Gong Suxin paused for a long time when talking about the Dragon Girl, and Jiang Yuan also sorted out the powerful figures. However, it was precisely because he sorted it out that he was even more uneasy about borrowing the Sea-Stabilizing Needle.

Under these circumstances, it's impossible to borrow the Stabilizing Needle again. After this incident, it's no wonder the merfolk don't have high hopes for them.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Yuan asked, "Did Emperor Yu ever come to the Ancient Sea Abyss after that?"

"have!"

Gong Suxin sighed and continued, "After the Holy War of the Ancient Sea was quelled, Emperor Yu became the leader of China. After reigning for ten years, he traveled east to the Ancient Sea to return the Sea-Stabilizing Needle, but for some unknown reason, he was injured by a powerful sea creature. Since then, Emperor Yu has disappeared without a trace. Some say that Emperor Yu broke through the void and left the Imperial Star, while others say that Emperor Yu has been buried in the deep sea."

"The Nine Provinces Cauldrons must have been left behind by Emperor Yu, right?" Jiang Yuan recalled a treasure he had once seen, a divine object that suppressed the ancient fortune of the Nine Provinces.

"That's right. Back then, the Three Sovereigns felt that the human race's fortune was unstable, so they joined forces to gather the fortune of the Nine Provinces for Emperor Yu and forged the Nine Provinces Cauldron to suppress the world."

Gong Suxin spoke of this with great emotion, saying, "Speaking of which, we, the younger generation, really have to thank the pioneers and sages of the human race. If it weren't for the blessings they brought for future generations, perhaps human civilization would have ended completely in the Battle of the Fallen Gods, and the final battlefield wouldn't have even begun."

Jiang Yuan looked up into the distance, as if he could face Gong Suxin directly. He hesitated and asked, "If one day you and I both have to sacrifice our lives to preserve the continuation of human civilization, would you be willing?"

"No!"

Gong Suxin answered quickly, but then added playfully, "Can't you wish me well for once? I've lived this long and never been in a relationship. Even if you want me to die peacefully, you have to find me a boyfriend, right?"
