Chapter 4014
Chapter 4014
Lin Yu and the others had just arrived when they saw Zi Chen, who was about to lose his life. Hence, they rushed forward frantically.
However, something unexpected happened. Zi Chen suddenly turned the situation around and killed Warren.
However, before they could rejoice, a flood came from afar. After seeing the countless sea monsters in the flood, everyone's expression changed.
In an instant, many people felt despair. There were countless sea monsters, and they could not stop them at all.
It was impossible for them to escape.
Not only could they not escape, but the Golden Scale Tribe behind them could not escape either.
This was a crisis that could wipe out their tribe.
Without any warning, they appeared in front of them just like that.
Zi Chen's light shield was very eye-catching, but it was useless.
No one could stop these crazy sea monsters, including the Heavenly Soul Realm experts.
Rays of light appeared one after another. They were the Heavenly Soul Realm guardians.
This was the deepest place they could reach. However, facing so many sea monsters, even they could not do anything.
The crisis of extermination was right in front of them.
"Princess, retreat quickly!"
Although they could not stop these sea monsters, they could still protect the two princesses and leave.
However, that was all.
The others could not be faster than the sea monsters. The outcome was already decided.
Before this, the first to be sacrificed was Zi Chen.
Lin Yu did not expect to see the Golden Scale Tribe in danger as soon as she arrived.
Seeing Zi Chen about to be drowned by the sea monsters, her mind went blank.
She was indifferent to Zi Chen's reminder.
Then, she saw Zi Chen's body and his light shield being drowned by the mud dragons.
A rumbling sound was heard, drowning out the Heavenly Soul Realm's reminder.
The outcome seemed to be decided.
The shield was broken, and he died!
The deafening sound suddenly disappeared.
The mud dragons that filled the sky were still wreaking havoc.
The change from extreme movement to extreme stillness caused the place to suddenly become silent. It was like a dead world.
The expressions of the people who were in despair changed. They seemed to be puzzled.
Lin Yu was also stunned. What was going on?
The guardians who were about to take the two princesses away stopped what they were doing and looked ahead in confusion.
It was so quiet that it was as if all the sea monsters had suddenly disappeared.
The mud dragon dispersed, but the sea monster didn't disappear. Instead, it stayed there motionlessly.
Zi Chen's Light Shield was still shining brightly, and it did not suffer any damage. Above the Light Shield stood an old man.
This was an unfamiliar old man. However, the moment they saw him, all the faces of the Golden Scale Tribe changed.
This was because through sensing his aura, he had an aura that made them tremble.
Zi Chen also sensed the abnormality and withdrew his light shield. The old man's figure descended from above.
He looked at the sea monsters and waved his hand: "Quickly retreat!"
All the sea monsters turned around and left.
They seemed to have regained their rationality.
"Amazing?"
Zi Chen widened his eyes in disbelief. "I didn't expect you to be so good."
The old man turned around and smiled. "What else could it be?"
Zi Chen gave the old man a thumbs up and said, "For the Oceanic Race to have an expert like you, it's really amazing!"
The old man smiled.
Zi Chen turned around again and looked at Lin Yu and the others. He waved his hand in the distance and said, "It's fine now. Do you see that? A true expert!"
Lin Yu and the others stood in the distance as if they were facing a great enemy.
Especially those Heavenly Souls, they were even more shocked and felt that it was unbelievable.
The Oceanic Race had their own sharp senses and could sense the creatures in the sea more clearly.
At this moment, the old man standing beside Zi Chen was a humanoid creature that emitted the aura of a sea monster.
He was not a member of the Oceanic Race, but a sea monster!
However, how could there be a humanoid sea monster in the world?
"Your race should not have suffered such a calamity."
The old man looked at the nervous crowd and said, "Retreat. Don't come near here in the future."
The Heavenly Soul Guardians immediately cupped their fists and bowed to the old man, then quickly left.
The others also quickly retreated. They did not know what was going on, but they did not dare to stay here any longer.
Lin Yu and Lin Lin were very worried about Zi Chen, but the Heavenly Soul Guardians did not dare to let them stay here and forcibly took them away.
"You're not a guardian of the Golden Scale Race?"
Zi Chen understood the meaning behind the old man's words and asked in surprise.
The old man smiled and said, "Of course not."
"How can you not be?" Zi Chen was very confused.
The old man smiled and said, "Aren't you smart? Then guess my true identity."
Zi Chen recalled the scene from before and the respectful and fearful expressions of the Heavenly Soul Guardians. His expression suddenly changed. "Could it be that you're a sea monster?"
The old man laughed loudly. "You can say that."
Zi Chen suddenly widened his eyes and retreated a few feet. He took out his long rod, and light shone from it. He pointed at the old man and said, "Then what do you want?"
The old man said, "I saved you just now."
Zi Chen said, "So what?
I killed a lot of sea monsters in front of you before.
You saved me because you didn't want me to die so easily, right? "
The old man waved his hand and signaled for Zi Chen to come over and talk. "Your way of thinking is really strange."
"You really don't blame me?" Zi Chen was a little skeptical.
"If I wanted to kill you, you would have died a few thousand times," the old man said calmly.
"This is a battlefield to train, or rather, a battlefield of attrition. Life and death are up to fate."
"A battlefield of attrition?"
It was obvious that this was the first time Zi Chen had heard this term. He was very confused, but he also let down his guard against the old man.
Even the Heavenly Soul Guardians were so respectful to him. If the old man really wanted to kill him, he could just move his finger. There was no need for him to go through so much trouble.
The old man said, "If there weren't such battlefields of attrition, where else would there be other resources in this world for future generations to cultivate?"
"World?"
Zi Chen sharply realized that the old man was talking about the world, not the sea.
"You're really not stupid!" The old man sighed.
Zi Chen's expression changed. He said, "You mean that the Death Canyon is also a battlefield of attrition?"
"You can say that. After all, there are too many people from the two races."
The old man smiled and said, "Of course, it's also because there is an irreconcilable enmity between the two races."
Between the two races, there were people dying on the battlefield every day. However, there were also people joining the battlefield every day. Some were born, and some were killed. It was like the cycle of birth, old age, sickness, and death in the secular world.
If everyone in the world existed, then the resources of this world would indeed decrease until they were completely exhausted.
"If that's the case, why don't you help your people?" Zi Chen looked at the old man and said, "If you help your people destroy the Sea Race, won't there be no more wars?"
The old man said, "What about the future?
For resources, there will be a war sooner or later. If that's the case, why should I interfere?
Furthermore, every world has its own rules. I'm sure you're very clear about this.
Even if you're the ruler of this world, you still have to follow some rules. If there are no more Sea Race in this world and only the Sea Demons are left, or if there are no more Soul Devourers and only the Soul Hunters are left, what do you think will happen? "
Zi Chen said, "Why do we have to fight?
Why don't we go to a higher and farther place? "
Just like the Tianwu World where Zi Chen was from, after reaching a limit, Zi Chen came to the Saint Spirit World.
This way, there would be fewer conflicts.
The old man suddenly patted Zi Chen's shoulder and said, "We thought so too, but we failed again and again. So, we've been waiting for the fated person to succeed."
"The fated person?" Zi Chen was puzzled.
"That's right. The fated person."
The old man smiled and then said with some regret, "It's just that we've waited for many years, but that person has never come."
Suddenly, the old man looked at Zi Chen. "If you had the chance, would you help us?"
"Me?
How would I help? "Zi Chen was puzzled.
"I'm just making an example. Don't be so nervous."
The old man stood up and said, "Actually, I'm not a member of the Sea Monster Clan. Or rather, not all of them."
Zi Chen looked at the old man in confusion.
