Chapter 191 Return to the South China Sea
Sang Luo, "Where exactly are the four major gates?"
Si Ye shook his head. "The more hidden the boundary gate is, the better. There are no ancient books or historical records that record the location of the four boundary gates. However, I heard that there are two boundary gates on land and two boundary gates in the sea."
Sang Luo's heart suddenly tightened, and she grabbed his arm, "Aye, do you know the Eye of Guixu in the South China Sea?"
"I know the South China Sea is closed all year round, but I've never heard of the Eye of Guixu." Si Ye reacted, "You mean..."
Even Si Ye had never heard of the Eye of Guixu, let alone other orcs in the outside world.
Sang Luo learned about the Eye of Guixu from the memories of Lou Xianyue's clone Aze. The only person who mentioned this matter later was Old Su, who had loyally served two generations of Sea Kings. It was no exaggeration to say that he was half a relative of Lou Xianyue.
The Eye of Guixu is the top secret of the South China Sea - Lou Xianyue has never hidden it from her, but she actually missed such an important piece of information.
Sang Luo slapped his forehead, "Me! I'm so stupid!"
She's usually pretty smart, so why is she so slow about this?
Pregnancy makes one stupid for three years.
The Eye of Guixu is a boundary gate!
Thinking of the words left by Lou Xianyue, Sang Luo felt more and more that something was wrong. The words between the lines were full of farewell. What on earth did he want to do!
When Si Ye saw her dressed, he hurried to follow her, "Where are you going?"
"I'm afraid the father of this baby is in danger. I'm going back to the South China Sea. Ah Ye, please help me take a letter to Fei Yuan."
Sang Luo immediately wrote a handwritten letter and gave it to Si Ye before leaving.
Rush back to the South China Sea.
She called Lou Xianyue many times along the way.
Aze!
Aze!!
Aze...
No response at all.
Her voice contained a hint of suppressed crying.
[Lou Xianyue, I'm about to give birth! If you don't come back, I'll give the child to someone else to raise!]
The soul mark suddenly became hot.
Oh, right, the soul mark, she almost forgot about it.
Sang Luo hurried to look at the soul mark on the back of his ankle.
Only his soul mark was in the most inconspicuous place, so she would hardly notice it normally. The silver-blue fish mark, originally very light in color, seemed even paler than before, almost invisible...
Fear overshadows anger.
She didn't want anything to happen to Aze.
After Sang Luo arrived in the South China Sea, she learned that during the two months she was away, tremendous changes had taken place in the South China Sea, and the dynasty had changed overnight.
On the night she left last time, Lou Xianyue announced her abdication and passed the throne to her only heir, Lan An.
The new ruler was still young and unable to handle government affairs on his own, so he appointed two of his most capable confidants, Chao You and Zai Xin, as regent Beast King and supervisory tutor respectively, to assist in handling South China Sea affairs before the new ruler came of age, suppress various forces and consolidate his rule.
He is not only paving the way for his child, but also making arrangements for his funeral and entrusting his child to someone!
Something really happened to the Eye of Guixu.
Sang Luo's journey through the major cities and tribes of the South China Sea further confirmed her guess.
Thousands of powerful monsters crawled out from the cracks in the seal, like locusts passing through, burning, killing, robbing, doing all kinds of evil, and crazily slaughtering the orc people.
Many females and cubs died at the hands of the monsters.
It is no exaggeration to say that countless lives have been lost!
The monsters suddenly broke out, and there were too many of them. Most of the orc troops sent out had already been killed or injured, and their decline was obvious.
Sang Luo tried her best to help the suffering orcs, but the Phoenix True Fire could not be used in the sea. There were too many monsters, and her power was far from enough...
The barriers inside and outside the South China Sea are like a cage, trapping any monsters that escape from the seal.
But cracks began to appear in the cage.
It won't be long before these monster armies break out of their cages and wreak havoc everywhere.
Sang Luo went to the Sea King Palace first.
The Sea King Palace was also in chaos at this time.
Chao You and Zai Xin were also discussing countermeasures.
"Is there no other way? Your Majesty, are you really planning to..." The younger, taller male was a talented young man from the Black Shark Clan, Chao You. He was so anxious that sweat broke out on his face.
Zai Xin was an old orc with a white beard and long eyebrows. As a veteran of three dynasties, this wasn't the first time he had experienced something like this. He sighed helplessly, "From ancient times to the present, the mission of the Wang Jiao tribe has been to guard the Eye of Guixu. Their life and death are dedicated to this mission..."
"Your Majesty often falls into long sleeps, and even his strength is used to guard the Eye of Guixu?"
"You guessed right. Especially in the past few months, he has been sacrificing his own blood and essence, and his body has become increasingly weak. There is no way to recover."
"This..." Chao You was obviously learning the royal family's secret for the first time and was stunned on the spot.
Zai Xin was also bitterly saddened. After all, he had watched the Beast King grow up. He had known this separation would come from the very beginning, but he hadn't expected it to come so soon. "I'm now over a thousand years old, and I've lived through three dynasties. The lifespans of the Mermaid Kings and Mermaids throughout the ages were all very short. None lived past four hundred years. They all died soon after leaving offspring to inherit the throne..."
"The shark kings sacrificed themselves." Chao You guessed it and said bitterly, "Is there no other way?"
"Only by sacrificing the bloodline of the King of Mermaids can the seal be re-strengthened. Besides sacrificing yourself, Your Majesty, the only way to break the seal is to sacrifice a pure-blooded offspring." Zai Xin sighed. "In fact, back then, Your Majesty had a pure-blooded young master above him. He was born as a sacrifice to protect the previous Beast King and another young master. Unfortunately, the mermaid offspring was weak in childhood, and the other young master later died of illness..."
Sang Luo felt a sudden pang of sadness in her heart. Lou Xianyue had always wanted to ask her for a second child. Was he planning to sacrifice the child?
She immediately denied it, "Impossible! He loves the child dearly. There's no way he would sacrifice the child!"
Chao You looked at the newcomer in surprise, and the scroll in his hand fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty...why are you here? Isn't the South China Sea closed?"
Sang Luo did not answer his question, but looked straight at Zai Xin, "What exactly does Lou Xianyue want to do? I want to hear the truth, not hide anything!"
Zai Xin had lived for over a thousand years, but he didn't dare meet the queen's cold, horrified gaze. He lowered his head and said in fear, "Offspring are precious. Beast Kings cherish their offspring, and almost no one would do this. They all... choose to sacrifice themselves to preserve their offspring."
Sang Luo's face turned pale.
"Even the previous generation's Mermaid King ultimately chose to sacrifice himself, leaving behind Your Majesty as his sole remaining heir. Your Majesty has also chosen to follow this old path... Your Majesty, where are you going? Please stay!"
No one present could stop Sang Luo, so she immediately rushed to the Abyss Tomb, the Eye of Guixu.
She finally understood.
No wonder the Eye of Guixu is placed in the Abyss Tomb.
It turns out that the Abyss Tomb did not come first and then the Eye of Guixu.
But the Eye of Guixu came first, and then the Abyss Tomb came.
Buried in the abyssal tombs were the king mermaids who had been sacrificed throughout the ages. After being sacrificed, they vanished from the world, leaving behind not even their bodies or tombs. This is how this ever-growing cenotaph came to be...
No update at night, darlings, don't wait, go to sleep first~
