Chapter 685: Chapter 542: The Strange Truth

"Welcome to my palace."

The mysterious Merfolk man said, "I know you have many questions, let me tell you a piece of history."

Black Sword was incredibly weak, with a wary look.

The Merfolk chuckled, "Countless ages ago, there was a dynasty named the Kingdom of Waves."

Black Sword stared at him.

This man, merely a tenth tier, looked average in combat, even inferior to himself.

Was he the destroyer of a generation of the Kingdom of Waves?

An ordinary tenth tier, who annihilated a group of supreme tenth tiers?

The Merfolk chuckled, "We were enslaved, oppressed, and back then, I was a minor Little General."

"In the Merfolk Divine Object series, among the perfected tenth tier, I was the weakest, mainly good at diving."

"But the king of the Kingdom of Waves back then was not as upright and broad-minded as the current one. He was irritable and often abused us ordinary tenth tiers."

"Until one day, I discovered an Ancient Scripture Technique at the sea floor."

"How to control the Divine Objects of our series."

Upon hearing this, Black Sword looked at the overwhelming Merfolk Divine Object series outside...

This person practices the Merfolk Divine Object series.

He’s controlling the outside’s same-origin Divine Objects, a vast number of Merfolk Divine Object series...

"Where did you get so many Merfolk Divine Objects? Others can’t cultivate your technique."

Black Sword said coldly, "No two ordinary tenth tier Divines can be entirely the same."

Everyone evolves through devouring.

Because the devoured Divine Objects, environment, and types differ.

One could say, the perfected Divine Object after ten evolutions is as unique as a fingerprint.

Controlling other people’s same series Divine Object with one’s own is just useless.

"Is there really no completely identical Divine Object?"

The mysterious Merfolk smirked, "Those supreme tenth tiers, transforming them into our Divine Objects shouldn’t be an issue, right?"

Black Sword’s mind went blank.

Supreme tenth tiers, after their demise, their Divine Objects would stabilize.

Transforming into the last Divine Object series they used while alive.

Black Sword trembled all over, "You tricked them into becoming your Divine Objects, then killed them..."

"It was a complex maneuver."

"But I succeeded."

The Merfolk easily overshadowed a vastly intricate history of scheming with just a few words,

"Haven’t you realized? Supreme tenth tiers are nothing but fodder for us ordinary tenth tiers!"

"It’s not they breeding us, but us breeding them!"

"Kill them, transform them into our Divine Object series, becoming our army..."

As he spoke, the Merfolk revealed a vicious smile.

Black Sword glanced at him and fell silent, "Yet you hid away, you’re afraid..."

"I’m enduring."

The Merfolk said, "Were I exposed, they wouldn’t cultivate to supreme tenth tier, just genuine fodder for me."

He paused, suddenly at a loss, "Do you know how to break through to the next realm?"

"You’ve figured it out?" Black Sword asked.

"No."

"But I suspect the method for breakthrough is purification."

"I have a large number of Merfolk Divine Object series."

"I’m devouring a vast core of the same Merfolk Divine Object series, believing that with sufficient quantity, I’ll have the chance to break through to that realm."

"After all, as we pursue the path of devouring, to evolve, this should be the key to breaking through to the eleventh tier."

Lunatic!

Black Sword quietly cursed.

No wonder their husband was so afraid of them.

Because he clearly discovered this issue, taking preemptive action.

He couldn’t fully trust them.

And he couldn’t risk the nation’s fate based on the moral sense of a wife he dearly loved.

He didn’t dare gamble, that upon discovering this, his wife would abandon the hope of becoming stronger, with the potential to destroy an entire civilization, hoping for a breakthrough!

Those around could become assassins anytime!

Moreover, Black Sword was exceedingly powerful.

Furthermore.

Emperor Bolin couldn’t accept this truth either.

The truth turned out to be reversed...

Supreme tenth tiers, were actually the lowly fodder.

Being fed by ordinary tenth tiers, as ever-changing beings, transforming into their Divine Object series...killed and made into fodder.

Supreme tenth tiers couldn’t be enslaved.

Thus, as the representative leader of supreme nobility, naturally they would act against her.

After understanding all this, Black Sword felt relieved instead, "So, you brought me over, what do you plan to do?"

"Imprison."

The Merfolk smiled, "Your Divine Object is very special, extremely powerful. If I practiced your Black Sword Divine Artifact series, I might indeed be invincible."

"Moreover, your child is incredibly interesting...the aura of Law on him, is too wonderful."

"That’s not the aura of a tenth tier..."

"Absolutely not."

The Merfolk looked at this child, full of greed and anticipation.

A chill passed Black Sword’s eyes, "Attack!"

The Merfolk showed a hint of surprise, mocking, "In your condition, what can you rely on to fight? On your newborn child?"

But the next moment, their child suddenly manifested terrifying abilities. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Boom!

The child reached out with a gesture.

Each Divine Object from the Merfolk series slowly merged into his body.

Seeing this scene, the Merfolk’s pupils dilated, their minds blank, feeling as if they had been outdone.

"How can this be? That’s my Merfolk Divine Object, how did you merge it..."

The child’s expression was incredibly innocent, "It seems like I can merge them all."

"Everything can be merged."

The many floating Merfolk Divine Objects outside continued to be absorbed, like cells entering his body.

All kinds of powers were devoured by him.

Not only that, the Divine Object structures that the Merfolk relied on were also crazily consumed; the Divine Object bricks and floors...

Gurgle—

The child suddenly emitted a vast aura.

"Sorry." On Black Sword’s pale face, a slight smile appeared, "You don’t understand this child’s traits, which is why you lost."

Traits?

What traits could be terrifying to this extent?

Having painstakingly crafted numerous Merfolk Divine Objects with one’s own attributes, only to have them absorbed.

While the opponent seems to absorb them easily, without a threshold?

Insane!

This world is insane!

Black Sword chuckled, "Your biggest blunder was sending these naive Merfolk Divine Objects to escort us back."

"They don’t understand resistance and can only be devoured by my child."

In the Merfolk’s terrified gaze, the opponent instantly fell.

And this child continued, seemingly transforming into a super creature that devours all Divine Objects.

In the sea, he seemed to morph into the legendary Kunpeng, devouring various floating Divine Object debris in large amounts.

His power became incredibly strong, as if he had transformed into the most terrifying Deep Sea Giant Beast.

Ten years.

Twenty years.

Thirty years.

When he returned to the Republic of Waves, he had already destroyed the entire kingdom with his mother and killed his father Bolin.

Centuries more passed.

He ventured into other waters and discovered ordinary tenth-tier rogue elements lurking at a depth of millions of meters beneath the sea.

Evidently, they were the historical culprits behind the destruction of other civilizations.

"I see, Divine Objects don’t fear water pressure... they float at will, but you living rogue elements fear pressure and cannot ascend freely."

"A million meters deep makes ascending nearly impossible for you, so you can only lie in wait at this depth."

"The most suitable place for you is hiding at this level, hunting those tenth-tier supreme warriors, turning their Divine Objects into your own..."

Upon discovering these rogue elements, Black Sword led the child to purge these ancient warriors.

But to their horror.

A million-meter depth was only the beginning.

In deeper parts of the seabed lie more terrifying and ancient entities.

But without coordinates, locating them is impossible.

"Never mind, we will rebuild the kingdom."

Black Sword sighed.

She was kind and righteous, with a lifetime free of regrets.

If she truly discovered that truth, she wouldn’t betray her husband to commit such malicious acts.

Unfortunately, it’s all over.

When ascending the throne of this new Republic of Waves, the Empress felt endless emptiness and loneliness.

At this moment, the child saw his mother’s loneliness and couldn’t help but point toward the direction of the breadfruit trees:

"I can sense my father is over there!"

"Father?"

"Yes, the same kind of aura."

Driven by curiosity, Black Sword soon took the child to that area.

Eventually, they saw a bewildered Xu Changsheng.

"Father!"

Ying Qing turned his head, seeing a beautiful mother with a child, caught in prolonged bewilderment.

...

"Could it get any crazier?"

Liu Jun was utterly bewildered, "Wait, did Ying Qing, this Immortal God, suddenly become a father?"

He rubbed his temple.

The Terminal Divine Object of the Immortal Path life series is a conscious living being!

Encountering Ying Qing with his Immortal Path Divine Object series is entirely reasonable.

"This is a bit outrageous."

Liu Jun rubbed his temple.

The boss was suddenly killed like this?

So outrageous?

"Died by the mechanism, nonsensical." Liu Jun sighed, feeling this was the most aggrieved death for the mastermind.

Nonetheless.

Their Divine Object series is just that ridiculous.

Among the tenth-tier civilizations outside, the debut’s first impression is lethal, who could guard against it? People simply don’t have this concept.

The mastermind smugly spoke of its ideology with absolute confidence.

But now, it truly died from talking too much.

"This Divine Object, having consciousness and self... it’s a life form, quite unprecedented." Liu Jun silently pondered.

This time, there’s quite a lot of information; the reality of the tenth-tier civilization is indeed startling.
