Long ago, Ao Yan had a daughter who had just come of age, named Ao Shuang. Her talent was among the strongest in the tribe; whether compared to the ancients or the tribe members of her time, she was the most powerful of them all.
She was the capital Ao Yan took pride in before the entire tribe, and also his best reason for obtaining resources.
Yet during a solitary trial, Ao Shuang went out and never returned.
Ao Yan searched for Ao Shuang like a madman, even asking countless tribe members to mobilize with him and gather information.
They had nearly turned the entire Kede Sea upside down, yet they still found no trace of Ao Shuang.
Had many other sea clans not finally been unable to bear watching any longer and come to tell Ao Yan what had happened, he might well still have been running himself ragged for her even now.
They all told Ao Yan that during her outing, Ao Shuang had caught Qing Wu's eye and been swallowed into his belly.
"What the hell is Qing Wu?!" Ao Yan had been consumed by fury then. At merely fifteen scales, he had stormed off to demand an explanation, only to be nearly slain by Qing Wu.
Even now, this remained a knot in Ao Yan's heart.
The reason Ao Yan had repeatedly entered that state of unity between man and heaven, challenging that one-in-ten-thousand chance over millions of years, was so that one day he could break through twenty scales and go to Qing Wu's sea region to demand an explanation.
"I hope Your Excellency can provide more Deity's Blood to help me break through twenty scales. To be safe, we will also need some reinforcements..." Ao Yan lowered his stance as he spoke.
