Alliance of Two Gods!

"Another maritime people?"

The two sea creatures made contact immediately, at the behest of the gods behind their respective kings.

Because both sides wanted to negotiate, the negotiations were successfully established.

Because of racial similarities, communication between the two sides went very smoothly, although the other side was a matriarchal society.

The opposing king is female, and the opposing god is also female.

The deities behind the two sides also met on the spot.

Just as Li Yuan thought, the opponent's god was Hydra.

It is worth mentioning that although people cannot see them, the gods on both sides can see each other.

Without needing to say more, the two gods directly instructed the two kings to form an alliance, and a very close one at that.

In other words, it's a marriage alliance.

The two kings accepted the gods' proposal and, as rulers, entered into a marriage alliance. Both were kings and enjoyed the same rights.

This led to the so-called era of two kings.

The two groups of peoples came together and formed the Soth people.

Unlike the Fishman under Li Yuan's command, whose fertility was low, the Fishman under Hydra's command had a very high fertility rate.

As a matriarchal society, their Fishman rulers are mostly women, which is a perfect contrast to Li Yuan's side, where most of the rulers are men.

Therefore, the integration of the two sides is a true win-win situation.

"Just as expected."

Li Yuan said it was as expected, which actually referred to his encounter with Hydra.

Both of their families are Fishman, and as long as they expand into the ocean at the same time, they will eventually meet, because only a specific order can fight in the ocean.

Unfortunately, this part of the sequence consisted entirely of people who were on good terms with Li Yuan.

Whoever he encounters in the ocean will be to his advantage.

However, it was indeed a bit of a surprise that Li Yuan encountered Hydra so quickly, and the fact that Hydra's followers could complement Li Yuan's followers was also an unexpected surprise.

Although the two do not yet have a crown to form a real alliance, a verbal alliance is enough for the public.

The Crown Alliance is not in a hurry. Li Yuan will only consider starting a war after he has determined the location and capabilities of those people.

What he needs to do now is rely on the fact that no one can interfere with him to develop the ocean and its resources as much as possible.

He has no need to compete with those people for land resources.

Their unique advantage lies in their ability to directly explore the ocean.

The first step is to draw nautical charts.

The foundation for conquering the world often depends on a map.

How important are maps at this stage?

If Starry Sky Principal were given a complete world map right now, he could immediately launch campaigns across the entire world!

Crush them before they all develop!

Hydra, while traveling through Li Yuan's territory, repeatedly exclaimed in admiration that Li Yuan had governed everything so well, and that social relations and social classes were very stable.

In Hydra, the prevalence of female power and the scarcity of male power has caused discontent among many.

If this trend continues, the issue of gender antagonism will be brought to the forefront.

Thanks to this marriage alliance, the problem was resolved.

"To be honest, I don't really understand why women can't have autonomy within the same system."

When faced with the Hydra problem, Li Yuan looked at the city built beneath the deep sea, saying, "Men undertook the vast majority of important physical labor, such as housing and hunting."

"And through production and war plunder, wealth accumulated day by day, private property emerged, and thus the initial social form was formed."

"But there is another fundamental reason."

"Even among ancient emperors, if it is a female emperor, she can have relations with different men, and the children she gives birth to will not know who their father is."

"If they only know their mother but not their father, chaos will inevitably ensue if this continues."

"For men, not knowing which child is their own is an injustice, and naturally they will feel resentful."

"Moreover, women have limited job opportunities, and food is mostly obtained through gathering and farming. Losing diversity makes it difficult to promote social development."

"But reason is just reason. If we simply adhere to male chauvinism, it will still cause dissatisfaction."

"Therefore, we must try our best to achieve fairness from the beginning, and then form a fixed mindset."

"For example, in the fair election of an emperor, the one who wins the hearts of the people, regardless of gender, can hold power."

"After a little manipulation, a man will become emperor, and there will be no problems in the short term."

"Then, by diverting and downplaying women's desire for power, and making them believe that male sovereignty is their due, we can achieve long-term stability while ensuring male dominance."

"The same approach could be used in a different way, but as I said, the development of a maternal society is too mild and not conducive to this cruel game of life and death."

Hydra looked at Li Yuan and nodded from time to time.

Hmm... that makes sense.

"I will unconditionally support whatever decision you make, so what should I do this time?"

Li Yuan looked at Hydra: "This time you don't need to do anything, leave everything to me."

Being deprived of the crown means being eliminated, and once eliminated, there is no going back. Therefore, this time, Li Yuan himself has to take the lead.

After the two kings of the Ocean Kingdom married, a child was born half a month later.

Unlike normal reproduction, Hydra's retinue has a more efficient method of reproduction.

They will lay an egg-like ovum within a few days after conception.

The egg contains ample nutrients, and once those nutrients are exhausted, the life inside the egg will absorb the eggshell as well.

After hatching, the newborn fish eats a lot and grows ten times faster than a normal Fishman, reaching adult size in just a few years.

Under the witness of the two gods and two kings, the egg hatched three months later.

Both tribes offered their blessings to the child and recognized him as the next king.

Six months later, a giant sea creature arrived carrying an island.

It is sequence number 027: Leviathan.

Number 0 27: Leviathan

He doesn't have any abilities he can use, but like Ye Long, he can directly touch this world with his physical body.

So he carried the island and his followers on his back, wandering around, not for any other reason than to find Li Yuan.

If he wanted to gain an advantage, the only way was to seek out Li Yuan.

It's worth mentioning that Leviathan has already broken through to the fourth tier.

He reached the fourth rank naturally, either by relying on magic potions or by simply eating and drinking on Earth.

This is a hidden feature of Leviathan's Abyss Stomach: if life dies in the Abyss Space, it becomes his nourishment and is absorbed by him, so he levels up as he eats.

"Boss."

Upon seeing Leviathan, Li Yuan felt even more confident.

But what followed was the trouble of having three crowns.

None of these three crowns can be missing; the loss of any one of them will result in the elimination of one of the three.

Therefore, the best solution is to keep all three kings in one place.

However, Leviathan cannot directly give the crown to Li Yuan, otherwise it would be no different from having the crown taken away.

Therefore, an alliance must be formed before the crown can be transferred.
