Chapter 1708: Chapter 58: The Origin of Civilization

The instant Girl Liuge’s voice sounded and her arrival followed… everyone’s reactions were different.

The entire world was operating, like the most precise machine, each part running independently yet interrelated… involved in it, no one could watch everything with a complete view.

But here, perhaps there were two pairs of visions that were exceptions.

Lei Yaz wasn’t foolish—when Professor Jin Kailun suddenly lunged at him with a determined demeanor, he instantly understood that the professor meant him harm—regarding the reason… often times, the reason was already clear in front of us.

Initially, he hadn’t noticed Longgang, firstly because Longgang’s head was bowed, secondly because his attention was drawn away by Luo Qiu’s news regarding Helen’s sisters.

But at this moment, he saw clearly and instantly had a relatively clear outline in his mind.

In the face of Master Karen’s sudden attack, after all these flashing thoughts in his mind, Lei Yaz’s most direct response was… to counterattack.

Perhaps because he had been continually assaulted by Liuge during this time, or perhaps there were latent violent genes in his body that even he was unaware of.

A hint of blue light flashed in Lei Yaz’s eyes—in the moment Karen Master’s cane swung to strike him, he suddenly dodged with an unusual speed, landing a punch.

Dodge, slip past, then return to the original position, and punch.

At this time, Master Karen appeared slowed, while Lei Yaz accelerated—his fist effortlessly and directly hit Master Karen’s chest.

In Master Karen’s eyes flashed a trace of disbelief—Lei Yaz’s sudden acceleration seemed like pressing the fast-forward button.

The protective suit absorbed most of the impact, so Master Karen didn’t feel much harm… even the pain was quite mild, yet his body had to fly backward all the way.

With no purchase point in the seawater, Master Karen’s body ultimately collided against the rocky wall behind him.

After delivering the punch, Lei Yaz was surprisingly stunned on the spot… at the moment of the punch, he felt a special sensation, but at this time, that strange power disappeared without a trace, like an illusion.

Girl Liuge watched this scene unfold, a barely discernible trace of approval flashed in her eyes… all those days of relentless practice hadn’t been entirely in vain.

“What was that?” Lei Yaz looked around, expectantly awaiting someone to explain.

But no one would explain anything to him here.

Konghai moved as soon as Master Karen was hit, now swimming towards the professor who had crashed into the rocky wall.

As for Longgang, having no one to support him, his body slowly sank… Helen again grabbed Lei Yaz nervously, this time by his clothes.

Ke Duojin’s eyes shifted back and forth, thinking who knows what… while Boss Luo and Maid’s Eyes in the center of the storm seemed oblivious of their existence, only Maid’s gaze stayed fixed on Professor Karen, seemingly not yet satisfied with the previous gesture.

Girl Liuge charged directly at Professor Karen, sneering: “Old man, I didn’t plan to deal with you this early… It’s good to have you around, the Destiny Organization is there to relieve my boredom.”

Professor Karen’s face turned pale at this moment, faced with the Silver Moon Witch, he considered his chances of resisting absolutely impossible… this girl seemed frail, but Professor Karen suspected she might be akin to the ancient People of Limoria who could freely control magical energy.

“Konghai… help me.”

He looked at Konghai beside him, expectantly—yet also uncertain.

He knew Konghai’s mystery, and now he could only hope this enigmatic fellow might, for the sake of their years of living together, aid him at this critical moment.

Konghai didn’t speak, but his actions were the best answer.

“Move aside!” Liuge shouted angrily.

Konghai blocked her attack… at that moment.

Not appearing at ease, nor appearing strained… it was a straightforward and simple way—Konghai actually used his chest to directly take Girl Liuge’s punch.

Gradually, he crashed into the rock wall… a large part of the rocks peeled off from the rocky wall.

This was a stark difference from Lei Yaz’s strike.

Soon, Konghai patted off the mud stuck to him, floated out calmly, seemingly unharmed.

“I underestimated you.” Girl Liuge at this moment put away her contempt, “I investigated you, from your birth till now, you’ve always been ordinary… Did Old Karen avoid our tracking?”

Konghai shook his head, “He doesn’t have that capability, I’ve just entered your government data system, slightly modified my personal history… it makes things easier for me.”

“You?” Girl Liuge opened her mouth in surprise… with the Kingdom Government’s surveillance system set up throughout the Undersea City being so tightly planned, how did the other party achieve it?

“I don’t want to escalate into a violent incident here.” Konghai said calmly at this time, “Professor Karen took Longgang, return him to you, along with what he took from you. Then we leave, how about it.”

“You think I’ll agree with you?” Liuge chuckled softly.

Konghai replied, “Why not agree, this should be the optimal choice. You recover the original items, and neither of us gets hurt, no bloodshed takes place, this is good for both parties.”

“Don’t know where Old Karen found such a treasure like you.” The girl snorted coldly, “Are you truly confident that merely bloodshed is your resistance to me?”

“I can’t defeat you,” Konghai shook his head, “I haven’t studied much on the attacking side of things. But I’ve researched your moves. There’s plenty of videos in the Kingdom Government’s data system showing your actions, I think I can afford some cost and escape from you.”

Isn’t it irritating?

This guy spoke slowly and seemed reasonable… reasoning with her.

“I’m not interested in listening to this!” Liuge snorted coldly, “If you think you can, just try.”

With that, a special mark appeared on the girl’s forehead… still, Konghai remained calm, quickly saying, “Professor, I shouldn’t be able to hold on for too long, if you wish to escape, do it now. Don’t forfeit the chance to escape, instead, stay here speaking nonsense… you really do talk a lot.”

Professor Karen almost spat out a mouthful of blood in anger… from internal injuries.

But he hesitated no longer, gritting his teeth, he rushed toward the sinking Longgang.

At this moment, Liuge had started grappling with Konghai… entirely suppressing him with violence, only Konghai persisted in defending without attacking, tightly clinging with a fly-like tactic, sticking and withdrawing.

“You want to leave? No way!” Upon seeing Professor Karen intending to escape at this time, Girl Liuge snorted coldly and said directly, “Stop him!”

Instantly, three Flywheels parked alongside unexpectedly started simultaneously and charged towards Professor Karen.

Professor Karen’s face changed drastically… these three Flywheels were military models, their speed was incomparable to average civilian models, at this time Liuge seemed to have unleashed the Flywheels’s attack mode, turning them into fierce-fire beasts instantly.

Professor Karen, though a battle master, was also quite helpless now.

On the side, Lei Yaz was worried but Ke Duojin quietly tugged his arm… he looked at Ke Duojin in confusion, only to see him suddenly leaning forward, handing him something.

Lei Yaz instinctively looked, astonished to find two flat metal boxes slightly larger than palms.

“What is this?”

“Do you want to know about your father?” Ke Duojin lowered his voice and said, “If you want to know, take these two keys and open that gate.”

“My… my father?!” Lei Yaz gasped.

Ke Duojin swiftly said, “Don’t ask me much, I’m not clear. I’m only conveying Emperor’s words to you, whether you do it or not is entirely your choice… however, this is likely a good opportunity, now no one is noticing you.”

“Is it His Majesty?” Lei Yaz frowned, “Did he instruct you?”

“Don’t ask.” Ke Duojin shook his head, “This is all I know… Lei Yaz, do you trust me?”

Lei Yaz instinctively nodded, a firm nod.

“Then do it now without any hesitation.” Ke Duojin said solemnly, “This is my sole request from you.”

“Alright.” Lei Yaz nodded again, quickly added, “Helen, you and Ke Duojin wait here for me to return.”

At this moment, Helen suddenly felt her heart racing uncontrollably, about to call Lei Yaz back, yet felt a chill envelop her body… her blood seemed frozen in an instant, completely unable to move.

“Madam, stopping your man from doing things, you risk being disliked.”

That was Ke Duojin’s voice behind her, unlike the tone she was familiar with but low… gloomy, sinister.

…

Konghai’s body suddenly flew out, once again crashing into the rock wall beside him, causing even greater destruction this time. And now, he was no longer unscathed, as at least a trickle of blood had appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“I thought you had some skill, but that’s all.”

“I already said, I can’t defeat you,” Konghai shook his head.

“It’s a pity you’re wasting your effort, Karen will not escape either,” Liuge said with a sneer.

At this time, under the siege of three [Flywheel]s, Master Karen was in a critical situation, unable to find a chance to escape… Konghai glanced over and then immediately lowered his hands.

Girl Liuge thought he was going to do something, but unexpectedly, he raised his hands and directly said, “Alright, I surrender.”

Surrender?

Girl Liuge almost thought she heard wrong.

“You don’t believe it?” Konghai asked calmly.

“Believe… how could I?” Liuge charged forward.

But to her surprise, this time, Konghai didn’t intend to fight back at all, and allowed the girl’s fist to hit his chest…

What kind of person is this…

Liuge couldn’t help but feel a strange sensation in her heart… After taking her attack directly, Konghai was even more injured, but still appeared as if he didn’t intend to fight back.

Girl Liuge suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness… But at this moment, the surrounding seawater suddenly began to churn.

Liuge was startled, instinctively looking up, only to see that at some point Lei Yaz had climbed to the top of the giant gate… to the position of the giant emblem.

At this moment, Lei Yaz held a flat box in each hand… Suddenly, a radiant light emerged from the two boxes.

In an instant, the two boxes were directly sucked into the twin slots on the emblem… embedded!

The giant emblem lit up immediately, and simultaneously, a beam of light directly split the gate—it was evidently about to open!

“How are all the keys here?” A trace of incredulity flashed across Girl Liuge’s face.

A beam of light shot directly from the slight opening of the gate… It swept over Lei Yaz first, and he disappeared instantly!

But the light did not disappear; instead, it started sweeping through the entire fissure at an even faster pace!

It swept over Helen, and she also disappeared afterwards… Then, Master Karen, Longgang, and Konghai were not spared!

Finally, the light reached Girl Liuge, a flash of rage appeared in her eyes, and she retreated rapidly… But the light was faster!

Eventually, she was swallowed by the light, and then disappeared in front of the gate.

Subsequently, the light swept again, grazing over Luo Qiu and the Maid, yet Boss Luo and the Maid did not disappear.

However, Boss Luo directly grabbed the Maid’s hand at this moment and floated towards the gate.

At the same time, several figures broke into the place—it was Lady Kaia and her party, who had been tracking all the way but were slower than Girl Liuge.

The light eventually swept over Lady Kaia and the others.

Finally, the emblem on the gate began to gradually dim… The fissure before the gate returned to darkness.

After a while, something suddenly emerged from the mud… It was Ke Duojin!

…

A figure slowly floated out from the fissure at this moment… Ke Duojin’s eyes brightened, he saw someone silently waiting outside the fissure—Louis XXXIX.

[Ke Duojin] floated forward with a smile, “Isn’t this the Emperor of the Undersea City? What a coincidence, are you here for a vacation too, Emperor?”

“Basha.” The Emperor of the Undersea City called out calmly.

[Ke Duojin] shrugged, then his body began to split open, and next he shed a layer of skin—after this, the Sea Demon Clan’s Basha Crown Prince still maintained a smiling appearance before the Emperor, “Emperor, I’ve done what you asked… But you didn’t tell me beforehand that Sister Liuge would appear here.”

Louis XXXIX shook his head and said, “I didn’t expect that the one called Konghai would bring them here… Other than Lei Yaz, everyone else arriving here was unexpected.”

“Alright, if you say so, who can argue since you’re the Emperor?” Basha Crown Prince spread his hands, “You see, this time you’ve completely kept Sister Liuge in the dark… even deceiving my rebellious sister, surely you have things you don’t plan to tell me?”

“Who said I’m keeping Liuge in the dark?” Louis XXXIX spoke without a change in his expression, looking at Basha Crown Prince.

The Sea Demon Crown Prince chuckled lightly, “If I’m not mistaken, Sister Liuge probably didn’t know beforehand that you secretly placed your share of the key inside Longgang and brought it to this place? You wanted me to help you send the young man named Lei Yaz inside… In other words, you didn’t want Sister Liuge to know you’re doing all this? Assigning Jin Kailun to the delegation as well… You knew he would certainly cause trouble—perhaps he’d even steal the key, and no one would know this door had ever opened. Then it’s my turn…”

While speaking, Basha Crown Prince’s skin gradually started changing again—in no time, he had transformed into the likeness of Lei Yaz, “Then it’s my turn, Lei Yaz, to take the stage, correct.”

The Emperor casually glanced at the Sea Demon Crown Prince, “What do you want to know.”

“What’s inside this door?” Basha Crown Prince reverted to his own appearance, squinting and asking.

The Emperor exhaled slowly, then said leisurely, “Evil spirits, and our… origin.”

Basha Crown Prince’s eyes flickered with a strange color, and he murmured to himself, “So the legend is true… I regret it, Emperor, I should have followed inside just now!”

“No need, I can send you on your way.” The Emperor suddenly waved his hand.

A blue light flashed; the next moment, it transformed into a completely azure longsword that pierced through Basha Crown Prince’s chest and then split him apart.

The Prince’s eyes were wide open… wide open, then cracked!

Blood filled the air, soon attracting deep-sea scavengers who came to feast on this fresh meat… Louis XXXIX watched Basha Crown Prince’s body being devoured until only bones remained.

“I quite liked this young man called Ke Duojin, let this count as avenging him.” The Emperor said indifferently, “As for you… Since there’s been unexpected developments, and Liuge has entered the gate, there’s no need for you to impersonate anyone further.”

A light column descended at this moment, landing upon the Emperor.

His body slowly ascended… Indeed attracting upwards to the [Sapphire].

The Emperor soon boarded the [Sapphire]’s control room, waving his hand and saying, “Set sail… prepare to invade the Sea Demon Clan! Within a day, I want to annihilate the Sea Demon Royal Court!”

…

…

Lei Yaz awakened due to a blinding light… When he awoke, he found himself lying on a vast stretch of golden sand, with Helen right beside him… an unconscious Helen.

“This is…”

Rustle… Rustle sounds.

Lei Yaz looked dazedly, it was a sight he could only see at a museum—records of the ocean before the Limoria civilization sank.

Blue sky, white clouds, the sea… He faced the sea at this moment, feeling the seawater wash over his feet, a remarkably real sensation, “Is this… the land?”

“Hey, Lei Yaz, you’re awake.”

Just then, a familiar voice reached Lei Yaz’s ears from behind… He started and turned hurriedly, only to find Big Brother and Big Sister walking hand in hand toward him.

The two walked barefoot along the beach, Boss Luo wore just a pair of beach shorts, holding a swim ring, while the Maid wore a white two-piece swimsuit, with a pure white round hat—a true tourist look.

Seeing Boss Luo and the Maid, a sense of déjà vu arose spontaneously… Wasn’t it the last time at the hospital when he just woke up?
