Qing Xunzi didn't know Emperor Qishi, and in fact Xia Xiao didn't know him either. But based on Quedan's two sentences, Xia Xiao felt that Emperor Qishi would not let his people die in front of him.

Emperor Qishi is a true gentleman! He was sealed for the sake of his people, otherwise, he, who is the same age as Dahai, would have escaped long ago.

This was Que Dan's original words. This seal was specifically for sea beasts like them. If there was a way to get out, he would be happy. But at the moment, he did not make a decision immediately. Because even the most rational and calm person would be defeated by anger.

"Back then, that despicable man Yu Shangyan gathered my sea beast clan and oppressed them under this trench. In order to let my clan members survive, I dispersed my own power into tens of millions. Otherwise, after 30,000 years, there would not even be tens of thousands of sea beasts left. Most of these tens of thousands of people have been sleeping for hundreds of years, otherwise they would have died. Naturally, I want them to live, but you have to tell me your purpose, otherwise I still have my own choices and paths to follow!"

In order to save time, even though he knew this was a test from the Great Emperor Qishi, Xia Xiao ignored Hunque's water tank and said earnestly:

"The real ambitious person is Yu Shangyan. As you said, she entered the devil's way and absorbed the power of Que Long, breaking through the shackles of the Great Wilderness and going to the world above. But for some reason, she was sealed on the moon and could not break free. In order to escape and continue her plan to become a god, she brought me to this world and wanted to absorb my power through the branding to restore her own vitality."

"My power was not strong enough before, so she didn't absorb it. But now I have used the power of magic and the power of Quedan's descendants to seal it. But our power is ultimately no match for her, so I am worried that Yu Shangyan will absorb my vitality and life energy sooner or later, and then I will die. So only if you kill her can we achieve a win-win situation!"

"Are you using me?"

"No! Using others is only for personal gain, but I will help you get your people out, break the seal both inside and outside, and then you will have time to recover your strength and break free from the shackles, and use the Moon to kill and speak. In this way, we can both achieve our goals, and your people will still be alive, which is not a bad thing!"

"What if I never come back? Would that be what you want?"

Xia Xiao looked directly at the abyss-like bloody mouth and two bloody eyes in front of him, and felt difficult for a moment. The Emperor Qishi was indeed not so easy to fool. He had clear thoughts and could see through what he was thinking, so he stopped hiding and continued to tell the truth. Xia Xiao's move was a bit crazy, but he said boldly:

"Your death would indeed be good for the human race, but you are unwilling to cooperate with Quedan, which must be because you don't want to be in cahoots with the evil ways. Moreover, Yu Shangyan has been sealed for more than 30,000 years, and her power has been weakening, but you have had time to recover. Do you think you can't defeat her even with this? That's too self-deprecating!"

"I know better than you how powerful she is, but if you take my people out and ignore me, won't you be able to continue to seal me here? Without the power in my people, it will take me a long time to get out. This is a dead place, you can see, there is nothing here. And I don't cooperate with Quedan just to kill all the humans with my own hands. You think too much of me and underestimate my hatred for humans! Also, you have also entered the devil's way. What's the difference between you and Quedan? He wants to absorb enough power to become a god. After becoming a god, he can still kill Yu Shangyan. You are cunning, and the conditions you offer are also quite extreme, but in front of humans, my sea beast clan will never compromise, let alone foolish cooperation!"

The Emperor Qishi's voice was old, like an old man who was about to die. He was in urgent need of strength, but when Xia Xiao looked at him, he was short of time and had nothing to say, so he hurriedly opened his mouth and said:

"I can only stay here for an hour. When the time is up, the gap in the seal will be closed and it will be difficult to open it again. Half an hour has passed. It is up to you to decide whether your people live or die! Also, Quedan will not succeed. He will definitely not succeed! The power he has cultivated is not enough to deal with the righteousness of the world. And I have learned about your situation. If you kill these people, you will be fighting alone. Even if you kill all humans, the sea beast clan will no longer exist!"

Xia Xiao wanted the Emperor Qishi to cooperate with him. Only in this way could he achieve his goal better. The latter looked in the direction Xia Xiao came from and fell into deep thought. During this time, Xia Xiao woke up the water tank and cursed in a low voice:

"You unreliable guy, how long are you going to sleep?"

After two slaps on the face, Shui Tan gradually woke up, but he was still afraid of the surrounding environment. He asked Xia Xiao what was going on at this time. Xia Xiao looked at the huge halo in front of him and said:

"He is making a decision. One word will affect the success or failure of our plan!"

Time was running out, and Shui Tan had fainted before. For the sake of his face and the consideration of the sea beasts, he hurriedly said:

"My ancestor, the sea beasts need you now. Please cooperate with us! It is spring now and the sea is warm. There is no need to stay here in this dark and cold place!"

"If we go out from the gap, the weak ones should go first, that way we will be faster. The power of this seal is still strong, and it will not allow powerful beings to get out."

In fact, this seal is very contradictory. The strong will be blocked, and the weak cannot swim out. However, with the master here, the weak can pass through, but the strong cannot get out. Xia Xiao hoped that the Emperor Qishi would make a decision quickly. All the tribesmen looked at him without making a sound. Their lives came from the hands of the tribe leader, and now it was up to him to decide where to go.

The Emperor Qishi was in a state of great turmoil, but it was not a struggle between reason and emotion, but regretting the decision he made two years ago. At that time, the whole clan hoped that he would break out, and countless people ate infants and tore up rotten corpses to survive and strengthen their souls. Although many people have survived to this day, no one can get out anymore, because they are ready to sacrifice their souls, and even began to burn their lives, just to make their souls higher and their own strength stronger.

Therefore, the Emperor Qishi tried to kill Xia Xiao, but a stream of vitality had brought him back. The world returned to a deathly silence, and the rift suddenly closed again, with no more seawater flowing. They had lost their only chance, but no one spoke. The terrifying toothed fish rearranged themselves, waiting for the clan leader to suck out their soul and power.

The souls that have been deprived of their bodies will carry vitality, and these big fish will directly become useless corpses. But they are determined that this is the right thing to do, because the lesson they learned from 30,000 years is not to trust humans. Humans are not trustworthy, not at all. Therefore, they still choose to believe in themselves.

The waves on the sea will never stop, but the sea beasts 30,000 years ago have become a large dead lake, and any ripples on it are abnormal. The Emperor Qishi raised his head, looked at the seal above his head, and excitedly shouted to the people around him:

"Our story will come to an end, but the sea beast clan will continue to pass on its legacy, and it will never stop!"

The people of the sea beast clan have become numb within the seal of darkness. They have never seen the sunshine and wind that their ancestors talked about, and are about to die.

The Emperor Qishi continued to suck the souls of his people, and they rushed towards him without hesitation, one after another!

For the sea beasts, this is their last-ditch effort. While maintaining their dignity, they make humans pay the heaviest price. Countless people have died in the past 30,000 years. Their bloodline is getting weaker and weaker, and their fighting spirit is getting weaker and weaker. Now, except for a few elders, the rest are born here. But at the last moment of their lives, they always roar and bravely give up everything they have, and they think this is the most heroic act!

"kill--"

A killing sound was heard from different sea beasts. In the deep trench, there were more corpses. This time, they had nowhere to go, so they could only drift back and forth in it, at an extremely slow speed, as if recalling their bitter lives.

When the sound gradually disappears, the tragic story of the sea beast will end here, but the road to the rise of the sea beast is not here but somewhere else!

Outside the seal, Xia Xiao and the water tank were pulled out, but their brains were still immersed in the previous danger. It took them a few minutes to react, and Qing Xunzi's face was weak, and he immediately apologized.

Azhu and the other five rushed up. Although the trip would take less than an hour, they were very worried. Every second seemed like a year. The corpses floating around made this place a hell of its own. Xia Xiao and Shui Tan looked at it with frowns. When the vitality outside their bodies dissipated, they could finally touch the sea water without feeling the dullness. However, the corpses in the sea made them quickly taste the stench.

"Did it work?"

When Ah Zhu asked, Xia Xiao shook his head with some regret, and then bowed to Qing Xunzi together with Shui Tan. Whether from his expression or the importance of the Great Emperor Qishi, it can be seen that this seal is very powerful, but for the plan he proposed, the master still tore a gap in it, which shows his importance. At that moment, Xia Xiao didn't know whether to be grateful or continue to remain in a rigid state. But out of courtesy engraved in his bones, he still said:

"Thank you for your help, Master, but I'm sorry, we...failed."

This advice was not likely to work, so Qing Xunzi just shook his head and asked:

"what are they doing?"

"The Emperor Qishi gathered the souls of all his people into his own body, trying to break through the shackles of the Great Wilderness, become a god of the same level as Yu Shangyan, and break the seal she placed on him. As for what exactly he wants to do, whether to destroy the human race or rush to the moon, we can't be sure!"

"Absorbing other people's souls?"

Several sea beasts looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never dared to think of such behavior, because their blood would be unable to bear it and they would explode. But the water tank nodded. This was something that was hard to believe, but it really existed.

"Are there still members of the sea beast clan in the seal? How did they survive? How many are there?"

"There are tens of thousands of them. We don't know the exact number, and we don't know how they survived, but they are skinny, just like these corpses. They didn't show any emotion when faced with the creatures that broke out of the seal. They seemed to be ready to sacrifice themselves and become the Emperor of the Beginning. They also faced death calmly."

The more Shui Tan spoke, the light in his eyes dimmed. The previous scenes kept flashing before his eyes, until he murmured with a depressed look:

"The sea beasts finally met a tragic end. Both them and us will end everything we have, and there will be no chance for us to survive."
