"Human, what do you want to do?"
Deep within a secret realm in the East Sea, frozen in ice, lies a colossal dragon radiating azure light. Coiled around its body are threads finer than a hair; upon closer inspection, these threads reveal themselves to be magical energy, connecting to the endless horizon above the ocean.
But upon closer inspection, one will find that because of these threads, the entire underground of the East Sea actually gives people a rather warm feeling.
Chen Qing knew what this was, and was somewhat shocked!
Thousand Net Threads is a secret technique exclusive to the East Sea Dragon King Breed. The East Sea Dragon King Breed represents the power of life and is the most wondrous Dragon King Breed. It possesses the natural water attribute of the dragon race and the rare Cangmu Spirit Arts. The East Sea has the best ecology and the most beautiful coral reefs among the four seas, which is related to the characteristics of the East Sea Dragon King Breed.
The Dragon King Breed can use this secret technique to connect with the spirits of the trees on the mainland and the seabed, creating incredible underwater plants and trees. The price is the transfer of spiritual energy from the seabed algae, making them essentially intermediaries between the land and water worlds.
This unique ability gives the East Sea the most diverse range of aquatic species, the best water quality, and the most beautiful and comfortable seabed environment. This ability may seem rather insignificant, but its actual impact is enormous, as it makes the East Sea the most habitable place and attracts the most elite marine species to linger East Sea.
Therefore, the East Sea Navy has the largest scale, the most diverse types, and the strongest navy!
Chen Qing silently gazed at the giant dragon within the jade crystal. With such a massive array of Thousand Net Threads, almost without exception, this seemingly unassuming Azure Dragon was none other than the Dragon King of the East Sea.
This Liu Yu is actually eyeing the Dragon King!
"You don't seem surprised?" The voice of Duke Liu Yu of Duke of Song rang out from the side, and Chen Qing, who was still trapped in the amber and sharing the same fate as the old Dragon King, couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"What's so surprising?" Chen Qing said quietly, "Among the Four Dragon King, the East Sea Dragon King is the most special. His Thousand Net Threads are spread all over the Eastern Continent, exchanging energy between the East Sea and the Eastern Continent, creating the best environment for the East Sea. Ordinary people can't find these threads, but if they know some ancient books and follow the clues, it is indeed easy to find the traces of the old Dragon King on some ancient tree demons. And you are the successor of the Evening Elephant, so you are the most capable of ignoring distance to collect clues and find the East Sea Dragon King's hiding place in advance. Isn't that normal?"
"As expected of the chosen Reincarnator, you know so much!" Liu Yu smiled slightly and looked at the Kingly Dao, "Among the four Dragon King of the Seas, the Old Dragon King of the East Sea is the most selfless. For hundreds of thousands of years, he has insisted on using his own power to protect the East Sea. Thanks to him, the East Sea has the best environment, the Eastern Continent has the most abundant spiritual energy, and this has also made our Central Plains the most blessed land with outstanding Earth Spirit."
"When the Dragon and Phoenix were sealed away, it could have severed the Thousand Net Threads. That way, there would have been no risk of exposure, and it wouldn't have been so arduous, maintaining the Thousand Net Threads for hundreds of thousands of years, unable to move. It's fortunate that this noble Dragon King could endure such a life."
Chen Qing remained silent. In the setting of the East Sea Dragon King, he best fit the demeanor of King. He who wears the crown must bear the weight. The East Sea has been the leader of the four seas for many years. To maintain this advantage, the successive East Sea Dragon King and the elders must maintain the Thousand Net Threads. He is the most ideal king in Chen Qing's design.
Although they are not kind to humans, at least they are most worthy of the demeanor of a king when it comes to their own people.
As for the opportunity being found by an opportunist like Liu Yu, it can only be said that he was unlucky.
"What do you plan to do?" Chen Qing asked Liu Yu.
The Dragon King is not Dragon King Breed, but the most powerful force in the Dragon Palace. If it goes all out, it can smash the entire Central Plains to pieces right now, and no one will be able to resist it. It is the top boss in the second version, the ceiling of the version!
It's safe to say that if someone could truly control the Dragon King, then this world would belong to them!
But that's practically impossible, even with Ancient Insect. Its physical and mental strength is too powerful; even if it stands still like this, you can't do anything to it.
"You can't guess?" Liu Yu looked at Chen Qing and asked with a smile.
After pondering for a few moments and considering everything that had happened before, Chen Qing had most likely come up with a solution.
" Painted Skin Mister!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
As Liu Yu laughed, a familiar figure slowly walked over. The old man looked almost exactly the same as before, without any change, but it was obvious from his stiff movements that this body was made of a puppet, not the real person behind the Painted Skin skin.
"It's been a long time, Lord Chen."
Chen Qing glanced at the other person with a hint of surprise, then murmured, "It's been a long time, teacher."
"Oh, there's no need for that." The other person waved their hand. "I couldn't teach a student as talented as you."
Chen Qing silently watched the other person, whose aged figure and movements suggested that the other person was very fond of this body. Although he had already Samsara, and should have started over from the body of a child, he chose the previous body even if it meant using a puppet body.
"How did you find it?" Chen Qing looked at Liu Yu, curious about this. Samsara demons, even they themselves do not know where they will be Samsara to during the cycle of Samsara.
" Mr. Heavenly Secrets owes me a favor; I consulted him for a divination," Liu Yu honestly explained.
Upon hearing the words "Mr. Heavenly Secrets," Painted Skin Mister visibly trembled, as if he were afraid of something.
Chen Qing looked at the other person strangely. Mr. Heavenly Secrets was the most famous NPC in the game, known by his nickname: Mr. Sinkhole!
He owes favors to everyone, and the benefit is that he can tell you a fortune about what you want to know. But no matter what you want to know, there will almost always be a trap waiting for you in the answer.
In this world without players, Chen Qing was very curious about the reputation of this Mr. Heavenly Secrets.
Is it as popular as the old forums? Did this guy consider the consequences of consulting Mr. Heavenly Secrets?
For the time being, things seem to be going smoothly.
Chen Qing then looked at the Dragon King inside the crystal. Painted Skin Mister had a special talent; with his skillful hands, he could transform any object in the world, including the bodies of ancient monsters.
Dragon skin, dragon bones, dragon scales—if he put these materials together, he might be able to create a puppet Dragon King, just like he created the Ghost Child!
Although it's worlds apart from the original, even a pirated copy possesses the power of Dragon King, enough to sweep across the world.
"It's strange, you seem so certain that you can control the Dragon King." Chen Qing frowned. "If it weren't for the accident with the Heavenly Ghost Octopus..." At this point, Chen Qing stared at the other person in astonishment, feeling utterly incredulous, but it seemed that only this possibility could explain everything.
"Not an accident?"
Liu Yu laughed, "Where in this world do so many accidents come from? It just so happens that when you were drawn into the Extreme Abyss the Heavenly Ghost Octopus Heavenly Dragon Palace, you happened to encounter the Heavenly Ghost Chapter, and it just so happens that the Heavenly Ghost Octopus severed the source of the Dragon Palace's essence blood. Do you really think this is a coincidence?"
Chen Qing: "."
"You don't need to feel like you're at a disadvantage, because everyone in this world is a puppet, only the people pulling the strings are different."
"Why do you say that?" Chen Qing asked, her heart skipping a beat.
"That's none of your business." Liu Yu seemed to have thought of something, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"How did you manage to make sure I encountered the Heavenly Ghost Octopus just as I entered the Extreme Abyss?"
"My disciple is a cautious person," Liu Yu said with a smile. "Knowing that you are different from others, how could I not have taken some measures against you? The seed of Flying Star was already planted in your body the first time you received Flying Star."
Chen Qing's pupils contracted. The seed of the Flying Star, which is also the coordinate, means that with this, Wang Ye can find him at any time, and at crucial moments, especially when he uses spatial power to teleport, he can activate the Flying Star and teleport to the ideal coordinate.
Chen Qing was forced to jump into the Extreme Abyss by Ziyue in the Heavenly Dragon Palace. It was a spatial cage, and the powerful spatial force inside activated the Flying Star Seed. If a Flying Star Seed was also planted in the cage where Heavenly Ghost Octopus was at this time, the two seeds would act like two magnets in the chaotic spatial turbulence, and Chen Qing would definitely be attracted to the cage where Heavenly Ghost Octopus was!
"You were at the Dragon Palace Dragon Palace before it opened?" Chen Qing looked at the other person in disbelief. "How is that possible?"
There are only two possibilities for Liu Yu to be able to do this. First, there must be someone with great power in the Dragon Palace who joins forces with him, but given his age, this is unrealistic.
The second possibility is that Liu Yu visited the Dragon Palace a long time ago and personally arranged everything!
