Long Xun lifted the black dragon into the sky, and they flew towards each other in the air. Even though the black dragon had uttered some harsh words, it still looked at the sea with worry from time to time.
The war taking place underwater is invisible in the calm sky. All that can be seen is the sea, now stained red, with the corpses of sea monsters floating up every moment. When the bubbles formed from the dead mermaids rise to the surface, they turn into clumps of foam, making the seawater look like it has been filled with countless amounts of laundry detergent.
Long Xun simply watched the black dragon quietly. As long as the black dragon didn't charge downwards, he remained calm and composed.
Compared to the black dragon who was concerned about the Sea Emperor, he appeared frighteningly indifferent.
'Is this the real dragon...? It doesn't care about anything...' the black dragon thought anxiously.
At the bottom of the sea, Lan Che slightly raised his head. His blind eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the battlefield and look into the distance at the command headquarters, where the merman kings were watching the battlefield through projection.
"As expected, you're all still so cowardly, too afraid to actually come to the battlefield. Only that little brat who just became king is foolish enough to fight here." Lan Che chuckled mockingly.
"Just like a thousand years ago..."
The ability to control time, to freeze it, or to accelerate time within a given area. While it cannot reverse time, this is already a terrifyingly powerful force.
A thousand years ago, when the sea monsters brought catastrophe, Lan Che's race was among the seven kings of the mermaids.
Why are there seven mermaid kings, but the mermaid emperor is also included?
Because the Seventh King, who came from the forbidden power of controlling time, was known as the race closest to the gods, but this race was wiped out in the last catastrophe of the sea monster attack.
How ridiculous! Even the floating mermaids, who have been captured by nobles since ancient times, were not completely wiped out in that war. Why did only the mermaids of the gods die?
There are countless races of mermaids, but only one race gained honor by controlling time and could be called a god. Was this honor something that someone resented, which is why their entire race was wiped out?
When Lan Che returned from the front lines, he heard that there were no other members of his race left in the world besides him.
His fiancée, his parents, his relatives and friends—all were dead.
He had agreed that after winning the war, he would marry his partner, but she died.
The parents who raised him, taught him loyalty and kindness, and guided his soul, are dead.
His companions who grew up with him and walked alongside him are dead.
He was the only fish left.
It was at that time that Lan Che was overwhelmed by despair and cried until he went blind.
At that time, Qin Shihuang told him that the divine mermaid had activated forbidden power, accelerating the aging of countless sea beasts, and perishing together with them.
In order to prevent this power from causing Lan Che's death as well, they had to seal it away.
Lan Che suddenly realized why his clan had been wiped out.
Is it because their power is too great? Threatening the rule of Qin Shi Huang? Threatening the rule of the ancient mermaids?
So his race did not perish in the war, nor did they die sacrificing themselves for victory, but rather died a vile death because of this conspiracy?
The hatred born of despair is enough to burn away reason.
The hero Lan Che has disappeared from the mermaid tribe.
When he returned, he brought with him sea monsters evolved from sea beasts. In the name of revenge, he turned his sword against the mermaids he had once risked his life to protect, seeking revenge for his fallen race.
"The shamanic mermaids can also touch upon a portion of the temporal realm through space, but your abilities are limited to vague precognition; you will never truly know..."
Lan Che slowly raised his right hand in front of him, and an invisible wave emanated from him, affecting the entire battlefield.
The sea monsters suddenly retreated, leaving only the mermaids behind. To their horror, the mermaids discovered that their bodies were growing at an accelerated rate.
The tail color darkened, the body became stronger, but life force was fading.
Their time is accelerating; they are growing old rapidly.
"What kind of power do we, who truly control time, actually possess?"
"In this world, the truly invincible force is time. Under the erosion of time, even the most powerful beings will grow old and die. No matter who it is..."
With each gentle opening and closing of Lan Che's mouth, large gushes of blood gushed out.
"This power is irresistible and irreversible; it is the path that every living being must traverse, so... you simply cannot resist it."
"Ah... what happened to me? My hair..."
"I'm getting old... Help! What's happening?"
"What exactly is going on?"
The mermaids' cries had barely left their lips when they turned into bubbles and disappeared into the seawater as they died of old age.
Lan Che raised his right hand and slowly swayed his blue-green fish tail, moving forward little by little. The closer the mermaid got to him, the faster the old man's speed became.
Invincible.
The merfolk retreated in terror; they could no longer comprehend such power.
They were terrified, but even when faced with sea monsters and the enormous size of the black dragon, they were not afraid.
But now, they are afraid of that little boy mermaid.
The moment the sea monster retreated, Dongjun sensed something was wrong. As he led the Vulcan Legion back, he watched as large numbers of mermaids died. His usually indifferent, fiery red eyes blazed with rage, and he clenched his fists, ready to charge forward.
Jiuxiao grabbed his hand and shouted, "Dongjun! Calm down! Going up now will be pointless!"
