You really hid it well!
Ao Zhen looked at that still gentle and refined face, her eyes filled with both coldness and complexity.
Among the four Dragon King of the Seas, the South Sea Dragon King was the most gentle. In his childhood memories, he especially valued the younger generation, and he often said, "Children are the hope for the future of the race, and it is only right to treat them well."
Compared to elders who fear their juniors seizing power, especially her own father, this was practically the image of an elder she had always dreamed of.
However, this time, she didn't see any of the younger generation from the South Sea, which reminded her of something Chen Qing had said.
It is a sad fact that Reincarnator can only have offspring with Reincarnator, because the children born can only be Reincarnator; there can be no exceptions.
In other words, this gentle elder actually had no descendants at all.
So where did those royal families in the South Sea come from?
Now, thinking back on how those young people from the South Sea always seemed so happy, she gets a chill down her spine. Was everything she'd seen just an illusion?
"There's nothing I can do; my fellow countrymen are in too much danger," the South Sea Dragon King said with a smile.
His voice was still gentle, but it didn't sound old at this moment; it sounded very young, perhaps even younger than Chen Qing.
That's even more terrifying.
As an ancient life form approaching the King Level, she knew some secrets. No living being can live forever; all will age with time. A simple way to judge a person's strength is to look at their state of old age. For example, for King Level life forms, a billion years is a standard. After that, they will enter old age. For lower life forms, youth may be the image of a fledgling, which may mean a lack of experience and other problems. But it is different for higher life forms.
The younger you are, the more capable you tend to be!
The South Sea Dragon King is the oldest, having lived for over two eras according to records. Logically, he should be in his twilight years, so what does his youthful appearance signify?
This only proves one thing: this guy's true abilities are far beyond the King Level!
Only those Venerable stand at the very top can live for two eras without Samsara and still remain so young.
The gentlest and least competitive old Dragon King in the entire seas is actually a monster of Venerable level?
Still a Reincarnator.
He didn't kill him because of his connection to the dragon clan; he wanted to...
" Chen Qing?" Ao Zhen stared intently at the other person.
"I used to think that although you were quite talented, you didn't quite understand the principle of concealing your strength, and you weren't very bright. But now it seems you've improved a lot."
"Why?" Ao Zhen asked with difficulty, raising her head. "Weren't you hiding to avoid those Venerable? Why are you going after Chen Qing?"
"Because the fruit is ripe," the Dragon King said with a half-smile. "The fruit is ripe, and if we don't pick it quickly, it will rot!"

"My lord, it's there."
Chen Qing and the soldier who was leading the way quickly found the so-called Horde location.
This island is so rich in resources, yet its civilization is so underdeveloped. Sometimes, resource traps are no joke.
Like many Horde, this place is full of wooden frames and thatched roofs. Of course, the white people in the Horde look almost like primitive people. Except for a few elders who wear silk from Jiangnan, most of them wear simple clothes made of animal skins.
This has led to many Western Reincarnator angrily complaining when they arrive on the island, believing that the game's designers are insulting white people, and that with white people's intelligence, it's impossible for them to end up like this.
Chen Qing felt wronged by this at first. This was originally a game designed to appeal to Easterners, and initially there were no Western characters at all. However, in the overseas designs, some people would always draw parallels to the real world, thus making the image of the island nation in the West Sea, which is closer to the West, seem Westernized.
This is also a lazy approach taken by many graphic designers. However, graphic designers only design the appearance. The actual appearance of a person is determined by data life calculations. The humans deployed are completely simulated in the real world, and their intelligence is not adjusted according to skin color at all.
The fact is that in such an environment, it is easy for unambitious Horde groups to breed, leading to stagnation of civilization. This is mainly because they live too comfortably.
Of course, Chen Qing always felt uneasy watching these white men living the same lives as some massacred race.
But what's even stranger is the bizarre situation within the Horde.
The entire Horde reeked of the unpleasant smell of medicine. The local shamans were still using ancient herbs to treat illnesses. Led by the soldiers, Chen Qing saw many people who were on the verge of death.
He said he was about to die, but he should have died long ago.
Two of them, in particular, had so many festering sores that their bodies were almost riddled with holes, oozing pus and emitting a foul odor. Even applying herbs to their bodies was ineffective, supposedly due to injuries sustained when they fell off a cliff.
Half his face was smashed off, and he's still alive?!
Chen Qing knew at a glance that there was a bug here!
In Divine Path Style kingdoms, the spirit of a dead person is not immediately absorbed into the Underworld, but leaves the body and has space to move around in the mortal realm. In kingdoms without Divine Path Style kingdoms, the spirit is immediately absorbed into the Yin-Yang Realm the living and the dead, and cannot return to the mortal realm without a special passage. Even if it does return, it will be sucked back in without a special container.
But what if it's a corrupted Divine Path Nation in the Underworld?
Without the neutralization of the Underworld, a person's spirit would be immediately drawn into the Yin-Yang Realm between the living and the dead after death. However, since there is no Yin-Yang Realm here, the spirit would be drawn back. But since the spirit cannot remain in the body after death, it would be drawn back again. However, because there is no Yin-Yang Road, it would be drawn back once more.
After several attempts, the spirit was forced to remain inside the person's body, resulting in the current situation.
Even though the body is dead, the person is still conscious.
"My lord." Wei Gongcheng stood behind him, his expression solemn. As the lord of the Great Underworld, he sensed immediately upon arriving that the Underworld here was isolated by some kind of force.
Things are more serious than we imagined. At first, we thought it was just the Underworld staff being suppressed, but now we see the entire Underworld being isolated!
What kind of power is this?
Not to mention Wei Gongcheng, even Chen Qing couldn't have imagined it. The appearance of the Underworld was a unique rule of the Divine Path Style, and this was the first time he had ever heard of such a rule being able to suppress itself.
But now that the Underworld is blocked, he has no way to enter, and for a moment he doesn't know where to start.
Suddenly, the cry of a baby interrupted Chen Qing's thoughts, making his eyes light up as he looked at Wei Gongcheng.
Wei Gongcheng was a smart man, and he immediately understood what Chen Qing was thinking. The group of Westerners was the only clue. He took out the backup roster and said, "The places where those Reincarnator Samsara are all registered. Let me see. Hmm, there are five people in this Horde!"
"Find them first," Chen Qing thought anxiously.
Theoretically speaking, those guys have only Samsara for half a year, and are only about six months old now, so they can't do anything. But deep down, I know that some of them have done something terrible, and if I don't find the clues soon, I will face the biggest crisis of my life!
