Chen Ke's eyes flickered. Was it Goddess Jiang again?
The wise man Lacha was clearly surprised to hear about the goddess Jiang. "Lord Divine Lizard, could that woman possibly be... from the Divine Realm?"
Chen Ke glanced at the wise man Lacha out of the corner of his eye, seemingly nonchalant, but in reality, he had already pricked up his ears, wanting to hear what kind of place this divine realm the king lizard was talking about.
The giant lizard scoffed dismissively, "Little wise man, I think you've only grown older but not smarter. How many years has it been and you still believe this? That black serpent just told you to tease you!"
“Lord Divine Lizard, that is the Savage Serpent God we worship. He would not lie to us.”
"Heh, I wouldn't lie to you, so why hasn't he come back yet?" The Great Lizard mocked, then muttered, "...Maybe he's already been captured by someone and is being used as a mount."
While the other members of his tribe were still thinking about how to refute the first sentence, only Chen Ke clearly heard the Great Lizard's rant.
“We should find the people of the Xiongqi tribe and ask them. Maybe we can get some information about the Divine Realm and the Barbarian Serpent God from that woman.” Lacha said solemnly, expecting the tribespeople to agree, but to his surprise, everyone looked at Chen Ke at the same time.
Lacha the wise man paused almost imperceptibly for a moment, then looked at Chen Ke, "Chief, what do you think?"
Chen Ke nodded calmly, "I think the wise man is right."
The giant lizard seemed to have been angered by the stubborn Youqi tribe, and didn't say another word for the rest of the journey. However, it was a trustworthy creature and still managed to safely transport everyone across the swamp.
The tribesmen slid down the broad back one by one. Chen Ke stayed behind until everyone had gone far away before he asked softly, "Lord Divine Lizard, if I may ask, have you ever been to the Divine Realm?"
The giant lizard snorted again, saying disdainfully, "Never been there."
Chen Ke: ······
Damn it, I've never been there, yet you're making such a confident claim!
Chen Ke touched the giant lizard's back speechlessly, and then froze.
He... he seems to have unlocked a hidden map.
"Chief? Chief?" Garuru called to him from below, sounding a little confused. Chen Ke reacted and quickly slid off the back of the Great Lizard.
After sincerely thanking the giant lizard, the members of the Youqi tribe continued their southward migration. Chen Ke glanced back thoughtfully at the giant lizard, which was crawling deeper into the swamp. As if sensing something, the giant lizard suddenly turned its head away as well.
His pale yellow pupils were almost vertical lines, and when they met Chen Ke's gaze, he actually... grinned.
What a sly laugh!
Chen Ke turned and left with a dark face, secretly vowing that when he became a Martial Saint, he would definitely come back and turn this turtle lizard into a mount!
No wonder Chen Ke was so angry. The moment he opened the hidden map, all the previous mysteries became clear one by one. The Great Lizard's claim that he had never been to the "Divine Realm" was just a joke to Chen Ke, because he had not only been there, but had also come from the so-called "Divine Realm".
The so-called "Divine Realm" is actually a world where martial arts are revered. It is called the Divine Asia Dynasty, where grandmasters are everywhere and great grandmasters are as common as dogs. There are even several martial saints. Flying lions, king lizards, and the barbarian serpent god mentioned by the wise man Lacha are all the favorite mounts of martial saints.
A thousand years ago, a mysterious spatial entrance suddenly appeared at the source of the Goddess River in the Shenya Dynasty. Rumors spread from who knows where that there were a lot of rare and precious materials inside, which attracted countless humans and ferocious beasts to rush in. This place is the Savage Continent.
Later, the entrance was sealed off. The ferocious beasts that entered lived like fish in water, no longer needing to be someone else's mount. But the humans who entered were the complete opposite. They lived in fear and trembling in the perilous wilderness, gradually turning into savages.
In the last hundred years, the entrance to the Goddess River has started to open intermittently again, which is why the sage Racha said that the Savage Serpent God returned to the Divine Asia Dynasty and came to the Savage Continent.
The Divine Dynasty is the hidden map.
At that moment, the system suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Master, I've found a hidden storyline! We can start a hidden quest!"
"Very good, you're finally of some use. Tell me about it." This is the first time I've triggered a hidden quest after traversing so many worlds.
"Master, your true identity is the son of the War God Prince of the Shenya Dynasty, who defeated the heavens. You should have been born with a silver spoon in your mouth, a proud son of heaven. However, the princess's trusted maidservant used her own son to switch you out."
Then, to eliminate any future trouble, she threw you into the Goddess River. Unexpectedly, you were incredibly lucky; you were caught on a piece of driftwood and floated into the desolate continent, where the leader of the Youqi tribe retrieved you.
Chen Ke suddenly realized, "Presumably, the original owner's brain was damaged around that time. After all, being drowned for so long would have damaged his brain even if he didn't die. What happened after that?"
"Later, the maid's son was trained by the prince and his wife and became the youngest martial saint in the Shenya Dynasty, famous throughout the world!"
Chen Ke wondered, "Didn't they realize in the end that it wasn't their biological son?"
System: "In the end, they found out, but after struggling and suffering for a while, the princess couldn't bring herself to punish her maid, nor could she bear to part with her outstanding son whom she had carefully raised and loved for more than 20 years. Meanwhile, Zhan Shengtian couldn't bear to make his princess angry, so they continued to live together harmoniously."
Chen Ke: ""
So the original owner deserved to be thrown into the river and drown?
Where is the story at now?
"Lin Yue, the fiancée of the maid's son, was driven into the Goddess River by the enemy and entered the desolate continent, and then..." The system began to stammer.
Chen Ke's expression turned serious. "Just say it directly, don't beat around the bush."
The system immediately continued, "Then, because the savages took off her wet clothes, she felt it was an offense to her, so she drew her sword and killed all the savages. Later, she was caught by the warriors who had just returned. The warriors were furious and immediately wanted to kill her to avenge her, but she escaped into the wild forest."
Chen Ke recalled what the Great Lizard had just said; it seemed that Lin Yue was the woman the Xiongqi tribe had rescued.
It's a classic case of the farmer and the snake.
"According to the timeline, Lin Yue should still be in the Wild Forest right now, right?" Chen Ke asked, pondering the time.
"Yes, Master."
"What about the next one?"
The system continued, "Lin Yue survived countless near-death experiences in the perilous Wild Forest, but she also found many rare and precious materials that had disappeared from the Shenya Dynasty, which greatly enhanced her strength. Finally, a year later, she successfully escaped the Wild Forest and found a way back in the Goddess River."
After Lin Yue returned, she told her maid's son about it, which enraged him. He used the rare and precious materials Lin Yue had brought back to cultivate, and a year later, he directly broke through to the Grandmaster level and entered the Martial Saint realm. Then, he led his men back to the Savage Continent and killed all the savages.
