Someone Had to Bear the Suffering of Their Race
"I almost forgot."
Upon hearing this, Qing Xiaochan also put away the soul lamp and said:
"I brought you back for this very reason."
"From a young age, your mother has believed you are extraordinary. Now, Holy Water has fallen from the heavens among the Sea Race, and your mother feels this is an opportunity prepared for you. If you can make good use of it, you may be able to go further and surpass your mother sooner."
With that, Qing Xiaochan turned around:
"Follow your mother, and she will lead you to the place where the Holy Water is."
Then, the two toads, one in front of the other, moved forward into the distance.
During the journey, Lu Changzhi also took the opportunity to inquire about information related to the Holy Water.
Surprisingly, even Qing Xiaochan, a leader with the strength of a Saint King Realm, knew very little about the Holy Water.
What is most certain is that this Holy Water appeared not long ago.
At that moment, the sky cracked open, and Holy Water poured down, changing the color of all the water it touched.
As for the name "Holy Water," it comes from the belief that all those who are blessed can receive immense benefits from it, undergo various transformations, and reap endless rewards.
"What will happen to those who are unfortunate?"
Recalling Qin Han's major flaw and Qi Zhan's lack of luck, Lu Changzhi inquired.
"Since it's Holy Water, it won't favor those without the fortune." After saying this, Qing Xiaochan opened her mouth, stuck her tongue out, and touched Lu Changzhi's head:
"Dashe, don't worry, your mother believes you are destined for good fortune."
Lu Changzhi did not say anything.
Now he just wants to see what exactly happens.
"Oh, right."
Qing Xiaochan seemed to suddenly remember something, took out a rather peculiarly shaped vessel, and said:
"Dashe, you've returned in a hurry. This is your favorite human bone soup, which Mother instructed the toad to make for you. Please drink it."
As he spoke, the vessel flew towards Lu Changzhi.
Inside the vessel, a human skull is clearly visible, bobbing with the broth.
Lu Changzhi remained silent for a moment.
"Let's hurry to where the Holy Water is; I can't wait."
Southeastern Sea Region.
This place is located deep in the sea, with no land in sight; as far as the eye can see, there is only the vast ocean.
However, there was one place that was different from the desolate sea. There were flying boats, birds, and human figures. From a distance, it looked like a grand and bustling place.
Even more striking is the towering water curtain that rises in front of these numerous figures, almost reaching the heavens, like a suspended waterfall, incredibly magnificent.
However, despite the magnificent scene, most of the visitors were not in the mood to appreciate it.
"What's going on? Are they blocking us from passing? Which faction is doing this, acting so domineeringly?" someone said angrily.
"It's just a little water, what are you afraid of?" someone teased.
"Just charge in, who cares if they try to stop us, that's our chance."
The person from the past, hearing the sound, looked over and said rather irritably:
"I'm just annoyed, not stupid. I'm well aware of how powerful this water curtain is."
Meanwhile, someone else angrily said:
"These sea monsters are truly outrageous! They've even fenced off this area, trying to keep good things from us Human Race. Aren't they afraid we Human Race will join forces and wipe them out completely?!"
"Ahem, brother, you should just keep those thoughts to yourself. Why say them out loud? These sea monsters are Sea Race after all, and their strength is not to be underestimated. Be careful with your words."
"Yes, we do need to be careful, but this is really going too far. We've come all this way, and they're not giving us a chance at all, even claiming it's their Sea Race's Holy Water. Sigh."
"It's alright, let's wait a little longer. The evil race needs to be dealt with by the evil race. Once our powerful Human Race forces arrive, we will surely be able to overcome this obstacle, and we will also be able to enjoy the wonders of this Holy Water."
There was much discussion from all sides, some expressing dissatisfaction, others patiently waiting, but ultimately they all remained in this place, waiting.
It wasn't that they lacked the confidence to attempt it, but rather that someone who was fully confident had previously tried and perished here.
The powerful Sea Race guarding this water barrier possessed strength approaching that of the Saint Venerable Realm.
Saint Emperor are extremely rare in the world, and even those Saint Venerable are not easily found.
The strongest being to appear here now is only at the Saint King level; in terms of strength, they are still far inferior.
"Looks like we made the right choice coming here."
On a flying boat, Qin Jiuxiao stared intently at the water curtain, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
He had heard too much about the effects of the Holy Water here, and now he was just waiting to try it for himself.
Beneath the seabed.
Similar to the surface of the sea, there was also a water curtain rising from the seabed, blocking everything.
Beyond this water curtain, Lu Changzhi witnessed what a seafood extravaganza truly was.
All kinds of seafood, large and small, gather here.
The scene was so spectacular that Lu Changzhi couldn't help but stare at it for a long time.
However, they could no longer move forward. The light barrier stood there, seemingly impenetrable, causing all the Sea Race to come to a standstill.
What's going on?
Lu Changzhi asked Qing Xiaochan.
"Wait here for Mom."
Qing Xiaochan left.
A short while later, he returned, but his tone was noticeably less than pleasant:
"This place is now blockaded by the great underwater race. To gain an opportunity, one must offer something of value in exchange, at a very high price. The great underwater race is using this opportunity to acquire more resources to strengthen themselves."
Lu Changzhi was somewhat surprised.
From the perspective of Human Race, they are all Sea Race, so why is it like this?
But upon further reflection, I felt relieved.
Whether it's Human Race, Sea Race, or other races, those at the very bottom generally have to endure the suffering of their race.
Unfortunately, the Green Toad Race is one of these lower-class races.
Even the Fishman Race that appeared in the Land of the Four Directions earlier were only of mid-level rank.
"It seems things haven't gone as smoothly as I'd imagined."
Lu Changzhi was thinking to himself when Qing Xiaochan said:
"But don't worry, Dashe, your mother will fight for your opportunity. I believe you will definitely benefit from the Holy Water."
Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi quickly replied:
"No rush, let's wait and see."
Upon hearing this, Qing Xiaochan looked at him with a hint of uncertainty.
Things seem a little different here now that I've returned.
In the past, he would never hesitate to pursue his passions, especially human bones, and particularly human head soup, which was his favorite. But this time...
Lu Changzhi paid no attention to Qing Xiaochan's attention.
At this moment, he tried to see through the water curtain to the situation behind it.
Unfortunately, it was only a fragment of divine thought, which was not enough for him to do so.
I wanted the system to display information about the Holy Water, but neither my main body nor my External Avatar had reached a sufficient distance.
However, relying on his intuition, even though he was separated by the water curtain, he still had a feeling in his heart.
This place, where the Holy Water is located, is definitely not a good place.
Even my intuition tells me to stay away.
"It seems we shouldn't have too high expectations for this Holy Water."
As he spoke softly, Lu Changzhi pondered for a moment, and then his mind stirred slightly:
"However, perhaps we can take this opportunity to arrange something else."
