Zhenzhen wants to use Long Tian's bloodline to optimize the entire sea snake clan, while Long Tian wants to build the sea snake clan into his first force as the foundation for his future unification of the demon clan and counterattack on the human race.
Therefore, the interests of Long Tian and the sea snake clan are highly overlapping, and the mutual use between them and Zhenzhen is actually helping each other.
"Zhenzhen, tell me about the current situation of the sea snake clan. Before leaving the ocean and stepping onto land, I want to strengthen our sea snake clan first. Let this clan become the backing and foundation for our future adventures."
Zhenzhen thought for a moment and said, "On the surface, our sea snake clan seems to be thriving and prosperous. But in reality, we face countless internal and external troubles, and none of them are worrying."
"In the surrounding waters, the sea turtles, sharks, and crabs are eyeing our sea snakes covetously. The crabs, in particular, often hide on the paths our sea snakes take to gather food and poach them. They are our natural enemies."
"Many people and monsters on land are also coveting the spiritual veins occupied by my sea snake clan. With my father and several sea snakes in the early stage of foundation building guarding them, they dare not be too presumptuous."
"But once a disaster strikes my sea snake clan, they will take advantage of the situation and plunder the resources my sea snake clan has worked so hard to accumulate."
"In addition to external hidden dangers, our sea snake clan is also plagued by internal conflicts."
"There are eight sea snakes in the early stages of foundation building. Each has developed its own power and formed cliques within the clan for their own selfish ends. For their own benefit, they would rather cause chaos within the sea snake clan than give in."
"My father had ten sons. Aside from two who unfortunately died young, the other eight were divided up by those Foundation Establishment Stage sea snakes. They often quarreled in front of my father for the benefit of their own faction."
"If one day my father passed away, or his strength declined and he could no longer control the situation of the Sea Snake Clan, they might turn against each other and kill each other."
"I'm a girl, and I consciously avoided their open and covert fighting, so I wasn't drawn into the vortex."
"But this is not a long-term solution. If we don't reorganize, I'm afraid that even if our sea snake clan isn't destroyed by other races, it will be torn apart by internal strife and will never be as glorious as it is today."
After hearing this, Long Tian fell into deep thought. The sea snake clan did not seem to be that united. If he established a demon kingdom in the future and commanded the entire demon clan, he would inevitably face the same problem.
Contradictions are ubiquitous. Theoretically, it is unrealistic to eradicate the conflicts between different forces within the sea snake clan. The only way is to keep those forces in a certain balance through checks and balances in various aspects.
As long as the various forces within the sea snake clan can check and balance each other, the sea snake clan can maintain its current strength, and even if the opportunity is right, it can reach a higher level.
Of course, these are all things for the future, and Long Tian doesn't need to worry about it for the time being. After all, the Sea Snake King is still healthy and can live for another hundred years at least.
What Long Tian needs to do now is not to think about the problem from the overall perspective of the sea snake clan, but to first improve his own strength and status in the sea snake clan.
Although he is the husband of the sea snake princess, he is a monster that came from the land after all. The sea snakes would definitely not recognize him. Most of them are resistant to him, but they just don't show it on the surface.
Moreover, many male sea snakes in the tribe have had feelings for Zhenzhen, and some of them have even pursued her shamelessly.
As soon as Long Tian arrived, he snatched Zhenzhen away. It is conceivable how much hatred and jealousy those male sea snakes had for him.
In addition, the Sea Snake King, Zhenzhen's father, has decided to make Long Tian his son-in-law and provide him with shelter.
But in a few decades, when the sea snake king's life is about to end, his mentality will inevitably change.
If Long Tian had not made a name for himself in the sea snake clan at that time, the sea snake king might have broken his oath and eaten him in order to survive.
Long Tian knew clearly that his situation was not as good as it seemed. He needed to make good use of this precious time, improve his strength as much as possible, show his value, and establish his prestige among the sea snake clan.
However, these are all things for the future. Right now, the most important thing is to get down to business...
After a night of tenderness, Long Tian did not feel tired at all. Instead, he stood tall and straight with a bright look in his eyes.
Striding out of the bedroom, Long Tian raised his head to the sky and asked tentatively: "Master, are you watching over your disciple?"
At this moment, Yang Fan, who was still marveling at Long Tian's arrogant attitude last night, couldn't help but blush and coughed twice in embarrassment.
"Well, Long Tian, Master just passed by occasionally. You did a great job. Master is very satisfied with you, huh."
Long Tian scratched his head and said, "Master, my current situation is not very clear. I have many ideas, but it is difficult to put them into practice. Can you give me some guidance?"
Yang Fan was silent for a moment, then said, "There's nothing wrong with your thinking, but you're thinking too much. At your current stage, there's actually no need to think so much."
"There are only two things you need to do now. First, you must seize the time to improve your cultivation. Before breaking through the Foundation Establishment Stage, you must learn to be patient and not let yourself be provoked by some petty villains or generals. Doing so will only disrupt your plans, putting you in a difficult situation, and will do nothing but harm your development."
"Secondly, you must seize the opportunity to achieve success and build a reputation in the battles against foreign enemies. This will allow you to gain a firm foothold within the Sea Serpent Clan and lay the foundation for your future leadership of the Sea Serpent Clan."
After hearing this, Long Tian bowed to Yang Fan and said, "Thank you for your advice, Master. I will always remember it!"
At this time, although Long Tian remembered everything Yang Fan said and kept reminding himself in his heart, he had not experienced it personally and ultimately could not fully understand it.
In the following years, Long Tian was often targeted by other sea snakes for various inexplicable reasons.
Especially those male sea snakes who had pursued Zhenzhen hated him to the core, constantly mocking him, ridiculing him, and ostracizing him.
Sometimes, they would even humiliate him in front of Zhenzhen and belittle him to the point of being worthless.
Long Tian endured it again and again, but as time went by, this anger and frustration accumulated more and more, and finally reached the limit of what he could bear.
He couldn't bear it any longer, so he raised his fist and smashed it, smashing half of the ugly sea snake's head and almost killing it on the spot.
Long Tian was venting his anger, but this action also offended the forces behind the sea snake.
In order to appease the anger of that force and to protect Long Tian, the Sea Snake King punished him to guard the spiritual vein for five years, during which time he was not allowed to leave the spiritual vein at all.
Five years later, Long Tian walked out of the underwater spiritual vein. There was no more resentment in his eyes, only calmness and determination.
It was not until then that he fully understood what Yang Fan had warned him. When facing the verbal attacks from other sea snakes again, he was not angry. Instead, he talked freely, as if he was complaining about others. His humorous language made the people around him laugh.
Long Tian grew up again, and he understood who his real enemy was.
If Long Tian wants to become the monarch who can command the entire demon clan, he must always keep a stable mentality and remain calm in the face of any situation.
Looking into the distance, the afterglow of the setting sun falls on the sea, paving a golden avenue.
Long Tian walked along the road. In the distance, as far as his eyes could see, a large army of crabs were waving their huge claws and walking towards the territory of the sea snake clan with a ferocious look.
This was Long Tian’s first battle after growing up, and it was also the beginning of his glorious record in the sea snake clan.
