"Mirage Sea... disappeared?"
Kashel and the fishmen behind him all stared at the empty stretch of sea before them in shock.
"What's going on?" Diamant was just as confused. He had only just broken free of the illusion and still had no idea what had happened.
The fishmen were still stunned and had no time to bother with him.
Though Mirage Sea was a dangerous place, it could also be considered the sacred land of the Fishmen!
All Fishmen, once they came of age, would come to Mirage Sea for a baptism ceremony, hoping that a fishman capable of inheriting the Mirage Sea Divine Lord's legacy would be born. Even if they failed, it was still of great help in tempering their will.
The Domain Lords present had all once been fishmen who had performed exceptionally in the Mirage Sea illusion.
They understood the importance of Mirage Sea far better than ordinary fishmen!
Kashel had come here because he wanted to see if he could take Mirage Sea away and make it the future sacred land of the new Fishmen, but he had never expected Mirage Sea to vanish outright.
"Could it be..."
Thinking of that legendary ancestral command, Kashel's scalp went numb.
It was said that the disappearance of Mirage Sea meant a successor to the Divine Lord's legacy had appeared. When the Fishmen saw him, it would be as if they were seeing the Divine Lord himself!
"Yo, you're all here."
Gu Ce, who had returned by spaceship, saw them gathered here and greeted them.
"You obtained the legacy?"
Kashel's eyes reddened, and he abruptly turned to look at Gu Ce.
Ordinary Fishmen could not possibly have run here. Only these two outsiders who had escaped the Sea Abyss had any chance, and Diamant very clearly had not obtained the legacy!
According to the ancestral command of the Fishmen, no matter who obtained the legacy of Mirage Sea, they had to be regarded as a disciple of the Divine Lord, possessing a status even higher than the Clan Leader of the Fishmen!
To Ku Hai Divine Lord, the legacy of his good friend was what mattered most.
"That's right."
Gu Ce narrowed his eyes slightly and watched these fishmen warily.
"...Greetings, Divine Disciple." Kashel gritted his teeth and half-knelt before Gu Ce.
The other four Domain Lords exchanged glances, then also knelt behind their new Clan Leader one after another.
"Greetings, Divine Disciple!" *4
?
Gu Ce was utterly baffled.
Soon, Kashel explained the whole story clearly.
Gu Ce also roughly understood everything.
Unexpectedly, through a twist of fate, Gu Ce had actually become the highest-ranking existence among the Fishmen, above even the Clan Leader.
"Let me see the Sea Suppressing Pearl," Gu Ce said tentatively.
Kashel did not dare disobey Gu Ce's order and handed over the Sea Suppressing Pearl.
He really is obedient.
Gu Ce glanced at him in surprise.
Taking the Sea Suppressing Pearl, Gu Ce examined it carefully and confirmed one thing.
The Sea Suppressing Pearl's power had drained away severely.
Although rare treasures born in secret realms like this had the possibility of self-repair, it would require an extremely long time.
Now, the only remaining effect of the Sea Suppressing Pearl was enhancing comprehension of the Law of Water.
Even if Kashel had not taken it out, after a few hundred years, once the Sea Suppressing Pearl's power had completely drained away, the Kuhai Divine Kingdom would have naturally collapsed all the same. When that time came, every living being inside the Divine Kingdom would die.
This Sea Suppressing Pearl was honestly not very useful to Gu Ce.
But how should he handle the Fishmen?
"What are you planning to do next?" Gu Ce asked directly.
"This..." Kashel turned back and discussed it with the other fishmen.
Before long, Kashel said, "The ancestral command states that seeing the one who obtained the Mirage Sea legacy is as seeing the Divine Lord."
"The Fishmen have nowhere to go in the outside world. May we follow you and leave?" Kashel asked cautiously.
This was bad.
Gu Ce slapped his forehead.
Where was he supposed to settle them? Billions of Fishmen, adults who were Universe Level right after reaching maturity—such a force would cause chaos even if Earth became ten times bigger.
They only lacked an Immortal. Otherwise, they could have established a medium-level universe civilization on their own.
"How about this."
Gu Ce beckoned Diamant over from the side and spoke.
Since he had obtained the Mirage Sea Divine Lord's legacy, Gu Ce naturally could not simply abandon these Fishmen and ignore them.
After thinking it over, he could only buy a galaxy for them.
The price of a galaxy was usually between 0.1 and 1 Hunyuan Unit, which was still quite cheap for Gu Ce.
"Diamant, does your Cuimu Empire have any idle galaxies for sale?" Gu Ce asked.
"Yes." Diamant's eyes shifted, and he immediately said.
"You don't need to buy one. I have a galaxy under my name, but I don't have the ability to take possession of it."
"Gu Ce, if you can have these fishmen help me, they don't need to do anything, just stand on my side in name. I can make that galaxy the future territory of the Fishmen."
With the help of these Fishmen, billions of Universe Levels...
If Diamant still could not return to the Cuimu Empire and inherit the throne, then he would be complete trash.
As for not wanting to be emperor?
What a joke. That was before he had been driven out!
"You all heard that, right?" Gu Ce looked at Kashel and the other fishmen.
Kashel nodded.
The Fishmen communicated in the Universal Language as well, so there was nothing more to say.
"As long as you agree, that settles it."
Gu Ce clapped his hands and made the decision.
"In that case, prepare to migrate. Cangyuan Hou is already preparing to act. The Divine Kingdom is about to shatter," Gu Ce said after receiving the information relayed from Hafa's side.
The group returned to the fishman city, and Kashel went to arrange the Fishmen's migration.
With such a massive number of Fishmen, it was destined to be impossible for all of them to migrate. Adding in those unwilling to leave, in the end, they would probably only select just over ten billion elites to take away. As for the rest, they would be left to fend for themselves.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
While Kashel was preparing the migration arrangements, Gu Ce and Diamant followed a Domain Lord Fishman named Gongtel into the Sea Abyss.
"Lord Divine Disciple," Gongtel asked, "should all these people be released?"
"Mm." Gu Ce nodded.
There was no point in keeping them locked up. They might as well be released directly.
Bai Zhou and the others in the prison were soon released.
"Brother Gu Ce, have you... become the boss of the Fishmen?" Seeing the Domain Lord Level Gongtel standing respectfully behind Gu Ce, Xie Peng clicked his tongue in disbelief.
One had to know, even among his Blue Silver Clan, there were only a few Domain Lords, and it was usually extremely difficult to see them!
"How could that be?" Gu Ce denied it repeatedly.
Xie Peng revealed an expression that said he had seen through everything long ago and did not continue.
"Gu Ce, these Fishmen are Divine Kingdom Humans," Bai Zhou reminded him discreetly.
Moreover, they were humans from the Divine Kingdom of an Immortal hostile to humanity.
"Don't worry," Gu Ce said.
Diamant's ancestor would resolve all of this.
Bai Zhou nodded. Since Gu Ce was confident, he said no more. In any case, it had nothing to do with him.
After witnessing Gu Ce's talent, all he wanted now was to go back and enter seclusion to cultivate. He would not come out until he broke through to the realm of a hundred Time Phantoms!
After that, Kashel selected more than one billion elites from the Fishmen, and with Cangyuan Hou's help, they returned to the Ku Hai Secret Realm together with Gu Ce and the others.
Then Diamant crushed an amulet and contacted his ancestor.
After his ancestor stepped forward and reached some unknown agreement with Cangyuan Hou, the Fishmen successfully migrated to a galaxy in the Cuimu Empire.
Diamant's ancestor invited Gu Ce to visit the Cuimu Empire, but Gu Ce politely declined.
Next, he still had one thing to do.
"Gu Ce, you're willing to sell this Sea Suppressing Pearl to my teacher?" Hafa confirmed again and again that Gu Ce was not joking.
"Of course. This thing isn't of much help to me," Gu Ce said with a nod.
Now that the Sea Suppressing Pearl was in his hands, he naturally would not return it to the Fishmen. In any case, the thing was already no longer of much use.
"My teacher says that although the Sea Suppressing Pearl is already damaged, there is still a possibility of repairing it. He is willing to take out one thing to exchange with you."
A moment later, Hafa raised his head again and said.
"What?" Gu Ce asked.
"Star-Eating Grass Sapling." Hafa's tone was filled with shock as he spoke each word clearly.
