Meanwhile, Quan Ji had successfully won over the two zodiac signs of Taurus and Capricorn. This time, she didn't pull any more tricks; she didn't have the time.
This time, she used the simplest and quickest method—her fist!
After successfully subduing the abyss, Quan Ji used the two divinely bestowed weapons, one representing the Capricorn constellation and the other the Aquarius constellation, to purify the power of the abyss in the very center of the endless sea.
In that instant, the ocean, which was turning increasingly dark, began to turn azure from its center at a speed visible to the naked eye. The power of the abyss dissipated, a major crisis was averted, and Quan Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Yuan noticed something amiss in that instant.
He was hovering in the sky above the Noah Continent, receiving the power of being devoured and fed back from the abyss in all directions. He felt that a part of his original energy left in the Endless Sea had disappeared, and he clutched his chest and spat out blood.
"My plan failed?"
"The power of the abyss of the endless sea has been purified."
He frowned, wondering what methods Quan Ji had used to achieve such a feat.
It seems he still needs to speed things up.
However, Scorpio is in his hands—as long as Quan Ji doesn't break through to become a human god, she poses no threat to him in the present.
Mingyan, standing to the side, put his hands behind his back, finally feeling relieved.
But he dared not show it.
That Capricorn was indeed something he had secretly hidden, and it was fortunate that Yuan hadn't discovered it... otherwise he wouldn't be sitting here now.
However, at that moment, Yuan suddenly asked him:
"Mingyan, can I still trust you?"
Mingyan was startled, but then put on his usual nonchalant demeanor: "If you don't believe me, who else can you believe... My lord, I will always believe in the power of strength."
However, Yuan sneered and his divine thought moved.
Mingyan felt the abyssal power surging within his body, knowing that this guy wanted to control him, so he quickly put on a serious posture and kept a silent gaze:
"My lord."
Yuan was finally satisfied.
He immediately scoffed and continued to absorb the energy fed back from this good place.
Once he has absorbed enough energy in a while, the Noah Continent... will be completely renamed.
...
The first thing Quan Ji did after resolving the crisis in the Endless Sea was to return to the ruins of Atlantis, report her safety to Xi Zhi, and then focus her attention on Shui Te.
Her golden eyes made one's heart skip a beat, and one would guiltily turn their head away.
"Look at me."
Her voice carried an irresistible power, causing Shui Te to involuntarily meet Quan Ji's gaze.
The mere eye contact was enough to deeply shock Shui Te, who immediately confessed his guilt: "I'm sorry, Miss! I... I was just following orders. The Sun God told me... Atlantis hasn't truly disappeared. As long as we break through the abyss's mist and welcome the dawn, everything will be restored! Until then, I promised him to bring you here... I... I'm so sorry!!!"
Ultimately, he was just a child.
He wanted a home, he wanted to return to his homeland, and he wasn't wrong.
Fortunately, Mingyan really was an undercover agent.
However, upon hearing this, Xi Zhi instantly flew into a rage, abandoning her usual gentle demeanor and directly rebuking Shui Te: "How dare you! You actually aid and abetted evil? Do you know that if the young lady is in danger, the entire Noah Continent will be doomed! Didn't you suffer enough from the power of the abyss just now?!"
She was genuinely angry, but also trying to protect the child.
The mermaid clan is now down to just the two of them. This child... is a bit slow-witted, but she can be properly trained in the future. It's okay that she's fierce, but I'm afraid the young lady will mind.
Quan Ji was no fool; she knew what this meant. She patted Xi Zhi on the shoulder and said, "No, he has done a great service."
Xi Zhi paused for a moment: "Huh?"
"Mingyan is an undercover agent."
After saying this, she drifted towards the ruins of Atlantis.
Xi Zhi didn't react for a moment. After exchanging glances with Shui Te, neither of them understood what the words meant.
Quan Ji was too lazy to explain further. She closed her eyes and offered up all four of her dragon hearts. The four huge, dazzling dragon hearts, like gemstones, beat and pulsed.
Suddenly, the open space beneath the ruins of Atlantis began to tremble violently.
thump--!
thump--!
Quan Ji's eyes gleamed with golden light: "As expected, it's here, the last dragon heart."
After she finished speaking, she pointed to the open space and lifted it up.
Instantly, the underwater world was turned upside down, with countless grains of sand spreading out and polluting the surrounding water.
A giant blue dragon's heart emerged, pulsating with immense vitality.
She gave a cold sneer: "Although I don't know how I managed to keep Yuan from finding out, I'm still grateful."
Once all five Dragon Hearts are collected, she will be able to repay the debt she owed to Lankodos in her previous life.
At the same time, it can also allow the dragon race, which was on the verge of extinction, to return to this world.
This is undoubtedly a tremendous fighting force.
But how can she reach Aiger in the Endless Sea?
Quan Ji's gaze fell on Shen Wuyue: "Aig, how do we get there?"
Shen Wuyue shook her head: "Aig is an alternate dimension opened up by the Dragon God, and outsiders cannot enter... This place will not appear on the Noah Continent either. Only the dragon race knows about Aig's passage."
Quan Ji took a breath: "So, in other words, only dragons come to us, and we don't have the option of going to the dragons?"
Kannazuki nodded.
Quan Ji closed her eyes, placed the five vibrant dragon hearts in front of her, and conjured a long whip from the energy in her hand.
Snap!
Even in the water, the solid impact of this whip on the five dragon hearts was enough to change the frequency of their heartbeats.
Everyone: "???!"
Shen Wuyue asked doubtfully, "Young Miss, will this really work?"
Quan Ji snorted coldly: "It can be done."
It absolutely can.
Just as she was about to deliver the second lash, the surrounding spatial energy suddenly became chaotic, and a strange power comparable to that of a god appeared.
Roar!!!
"How dare you lay a hand on the heart of my race's dragon! I will tear you to pieces!!"
If it weren't for the fact that it was underwater, this dragon's roar would surely have made the entire Noah continent tremble.
Before the Frost Dragon had entered its period of frenzy and weakness, the proud Rankodos popped its head out of the other dimension to intimidate, but suddenly sensed something was wrong.
Looking left: "Moon...Moon Goddess?"
Looking to the right: "Dark... God of the Night?"
Then he looked at it again: "Star... Star God?"
"What are you doing here? If you're here, then what about my Dragon Heart...?"
It had completely lost the ferocity it had shown before, and it looked up, meeting Quan Ji's gaze.
Hmm...this person looks familiar, it seems like...they know her.
