“Let’s stop making wild guesses and wait for Yule's father to explain. This creature doesn’t belong to this continent, so no one knows what’s going on.” Philip reached out and gently touched the scales in amazement. He felt that something was wrong with this mermaid. With that touch, he found that the mermaid’s scales were better than those of a dragon. Philip once found a dragon scale by chance, but the dragon scale was not as tough as the mermaid's scales. Moreover, the mermaid's scales could change into various shapes, which was amazing. “If the scales are used to make a weapon, it’ll definitely be the best treasure. Not only can it attack and defend, but also…” Before Philip could finish his words, he heard Yule's father coughing violently. He seemed in pretty bad shape. “Rascal, go and look at the fish. She’s not an ordinary fish but a mermaid I found by chance! According to ancient records, there are many similar creatures in the world of the gods, and they're a force
“You’re right. The mermaid is such a mysterious creature. How can anyone cure its poison?” Stanley smiled wryly, feeling sorry for himself. “Philip, you have to find a way to save my father. I’ll do anything for you if you can save him!” Yule grabbed Philip’s shoulders with agitation. He begged Philip and almost knelt at his feet. In Yule's opinion, Philip was an omnipotent and powerful existence. There was nothing he could not do. Likewise, Aslan and the others shared the same thought. Therefore, they were surprised when Philip said that he could not save Stanley. Philip sighed. In the past, he had been to places of a lower civilization where the natives were not very strong. He could do whatever he wanted and no one could do much to him even if they wanted to. However, Philip was not familiar with places of a higher civilization. Even Rabbit only knew a little and was hesitant to speak. Hence, Philip was not confident he could save Stanley. “Maybe that creature came fro
“Ugly woman, don’t forget who saved you. Besides, you’re so seriously injured that I don’t think you have much backing behind you. Do you really want to oppose us? If things come to a fight, we’ll make sure to take you down first!” Aslan was smart and knew that this mermaid was a force to be reckoned with, but he was more aware that he had nothing to fear if she wanted to use force against them. Even if the so-called gods invaded, the worst outcome would be death for all parties. Before they died, they would drag as many people as they could with them, which was everyone's usual way of doing things. “You!” The mermaid was so angry that she wanted to kill someone but she was too weak to do anything. “Stop trying to infuriate us. We don't mean to hurt you. You don't have to be so harsh,” Philip said calmly, wondering why she was so cranky. “Hmph!” The mermaid snorted without another word, unwilling to speak to Philip. Philip smiled helplessly at her snort. “Why don't yo
“By the way, my name is Marina. You can call me Her Highness Princess Mermaid.” Philip did not take the mermaid’s introduction seriously. He was not a lapdog and would not call her by her title. Calling her by name was good enough for her. “If I help you open the portal to the world of the gods, what can I get out of it? As a businessman, I value profit very much. I don't mind helping you if I can profit from it,” Philip said with a smile. Philip knew that he picked up the key to the world of the gods earlier. In that case, he had to take this negotiation seriously and get as much as he could from Marina. Marina's eyes widened upon hearing this, surprised that Philip found the key to the world of the gods. “Did you find the key after going to the lifeless sea?” Marina's hands trembled with excitement. Philip nodded calmly and took out a blue stone from his pocket to prove his words. Nothing was better proof than the stone. Marina was ecstatic. “That’s great. Since you f
Yule knew he was not worthy to get involved in this matter but he wanted a share of the pie. He was uncomfortable with this uneasiness. “You need to improve your strength and stop being so cowardly. Although I don't know what it takes to enter that world, your current level is obviously not going to cut it. Improving yourself is a means of protecting yourself.” Philip did not put it so explicitly because he had a good impression of Yule. If Yule could improve himself, Philip did not mind taking him along. Lyle and the others had no worries. As Philip's subordinates, they had the right to follow him. Philip was surprised by this unexpected gain and could not wait to deal with the snake monster now. Since Sienna tried every means to find the Binary Herb, she must have a way to recover her strength. Otherwise, she could not use the herb even if she got it. At this time, Mason returned in a miserable state. He never dreamed that Philip could defeat him so easily. Philip was
Seeing the snake carcass, Sienna was dumbfounded. She could not believe that she would see her husband's corpse here. “What's going on? How did things turn out this way?” Sienna was very agitated and grabbed Philip in disbelief. “Where did you see him? Why was he cut in half? What's going on? Tell me!” Philip was surprised by Sienna’s emotional outburst. “I thought you were looking for the Binary Herb to save your husband,” Philip said with a smile. He did not sympathize with Sienna. Both snakes were up to no good. Even if they had a good relationship, they lived in vain. “I knew that someone locked him up but I didn’t know it was in that mysterious sea. I’d have saved him in person if I’d known about it!” Sienna said mournfully. Philip looked at Sienna doubtfully. He felt that her behavior was not normal. She must be up to no good. “So, what do you want to do now? Aren't you here to find the Binary Herb?” Aslan suddenly appeared and scoffed. He did not have a good im
When Sienna was still a young and innocent girl back then, she was very excited to share an amazing pill she found with her husband, but he tricked her and stole it from her. When Sienna realized that her husband had eaten the pill, she sealed the pill’s medicinal properties with powerful means so it was useless even though he had taken the pill. Therefore, when Sienna saw the snake’s body earlier, she knew that the pill’s medicinal properties were still intact without being consumed yet. It was a blessing in disguise, and her hard work paid off. “Hehe, Philip actually thought I was a devoted lover. He has no idea how important this corpse is to me. Speaking of which, I have to thank that fool.” Sienna’s initial plan was to recover her strength with the Binary Herb, but getting this corpse produced the same effect, so Sienna was very excited. Sienna laughed wildly as she felt her strength recovering rapidly. Mason huddled in the corner quietly for fear that Sienna would e
“I haven't forgotten my promise. Once we reach the world of the gods, I’ll fulfill my promise to you and make you a queen in no time.” The old man smiled and stroked his beard, which looked quite obnoxious because he had very little beard left. “You can take my word for it. You’ll have a bright future as long as you follow Upper God Quinn!” The other party painted a pretty picture for Sienna as if he had a good grasp of her thoughts. At this time, Mason walked out of the room to ask Sienna about the pills. Unexpectedly, he overheard this conversation. He was surprised and could not believe his ears. “My queen, is this old man an almighty god from another world?” Mason did not hide his presence because he knew Sienna would discover him. In that case, it was better to step forward and maybe Sienna would involve him in her secrets. Sienna was so immersed in her own world that she did not notice Mason's arrival. Sienna was startled by Mason’s sudden interruption. “W
Katie was not a talkative person, so everyone who knew her did not expect her to exude much presence. Tom smiled and approached Katie to talk to her. “Hey, it’s been a while. Did you miss me?” Tom said excitedly. He felt emotional at the thought of Katie saving him. The chief looked at Tom unhappily, surprised that he was involved with a human woman. It was such a mess that he wondered what was going on. Katie lowered her head and responded shyly. Tom noticed that Katie had become very powerful. She was no longer an ordinary human. From Katie's walking posture and various indications, Katie was a powerful practitioner. She was even better than him. Moreover, she had a divine body. Tom looked expectant. Although Tom had a divine body too, he could not improve so quickly with his talent and strength. Philip must have groomed Katie with care for her to improve so quickly. Katie’s talent was obvious at a glance. She was not that good, but she was already on par with h
Rodney was about to have a mental breakdown. Elf water was so valuable that everyone would use it sparingly for fear of accidentally wasting it, but these people used it as bath water. “It’s none of your business, but we do have some leftover bath water over there. Although its effect has diminished, we can use it to water the flowers to make them grow well.” Elf water would lose most of its effects after bathing in it, but the powerful energy still existed, so using it to water flowers was a good choice. Normal people would never think of using it to water flowers. Rodney was almost going crazy. Although Akash felt that it was a waste too, Philip had bought the elf water at a high price, so he had the freedom to do whatever he wanted with it. “This is ridiculous. We’re talking about precious elf water. How could you waste it like this?” Rodney was shaking in anger. He wished he could kill Philip and show this wasteful person how powerful he was. “Tell your elves not to c
“Do you think no one heard when you threatened me just now? Humans are not as stupid as demons.” Loony flicked Rodney’s forehead, causing Rodney to grimace in pain. “Why did you sneak in to be around me? I don’t think I have anything that attracts demons,” Philip said curiously. Indeed, he wondered what brought the demons here. Hearing that, Rodney struggled hard, but Philip easily controlled him. Philip only tied his hands, but Rodney had already lost all ability to fight. His energy core had been sealed. No matter how hard he tried to break free and attack Philip, he failed to do it. “Don't try to break the barrier I put on you or you’ll self-combust and die.” Philip was amused by Rodney’s futile attempts to break free. “You!” Rodney knew that he was in trouble this time. He never thought that Philip would be so strong. He had been very confident that he could sneak his people into Philip’s team if Akash did not return in time and Philip would end up under his control.
Philip and the others knew what was going on, but they pretended to be surprised. The merfolk were really confused and wondered what was going on. Everyone looked at Akash standing at the door and then at 'Akash' standing not far away, baffled. “What’s going on? Are my eyes playing tricks on me?” “I see two Akash in front of me. What does it mean? Is one Akash fake?” They caught a strong scent of demons on the real Akash. It was planned in advance. Rodney deliberately left a strong scent of demons on the real Akash so that no one could tell what was going on. Everyone was doubtful and subconsciously thought that the Akash at the door was fake. Marina ran to Philip's side in confusion. “Philip, what’s going on? Is there a real and fake Akash? This is weird.” Marina did not know Akash, but she knew Philip brought Akash along, so Philip should know what was going on. “You two should know who is real and who is fake,” Philip said with a smile without answering Marina's
The fish creatures had struck a deal with the demons, so the fish creatures handed the pearl over immediately when they got hold of it. Rodney even had the chance to study it. His explanation did not attract much attention because many people knew about the water troops. Philip and the others did not know simply because they were humans. “Apart from the pearl, they need another item to unleash its full potential or the pearl's effect will be halved. The other item is my blood.” No one had used the pearl before, so they had never unleashed its full potential. Once every century, they needed the blood of the holy maiden to activate the pearl, but the fish creatures did not know this. “They think that they can command the water troops of the world by taking the pearl, but they only took an ordinary pearl. Without my blood to activate it, they can never command the world.” Rodney scowled upon hearing that, shocked by the news. He was glad that he stayed and heard the story. P
“What’s inside the coffin?” “Who knows? I heard someone calling for help inside. Why don't we open it and take a look?” The fawns were not yet fully grown, so they were simple-minded. Hearing someone calling for help, they wanted to lend a helping hand. They had taken on human form, so they could move easily. The coffin was sealed to prevent someone from opening it from the inside, but the effect was almost non-existent once someone opened the coffin from the outside. The fawns broke the seal, and Akash jumped out. He looked around in a panic and was surprised to see that his rescuers were a bunch of fawns. “Thank you. I’m a member of the elf family. You may come to us if you need any help in the future. I’ll do my best to help you.” After saying this, Akash vanished in front of the fawns. He had very important things to attend to. The little fawns never expected that they would rescue such a beautiful elf. They were puzzled and wondered what was going on. “Was that the
Everyone returned to the topic at hand and forgot about everything else. Akash was expectant, waiting to hear what everyone had to say. “According to our investigation, the fish creatures became so arrogant because they colluded with the demons. They wouldn’t have been strong enough to deal with us if the demons hadn’t given them the power to do so.” Philip was surprised to hear about the demons’ involvement again. It was simply ridiculous that everything was related to demons. “The demons are quite ambitious. It seems that they want to conquer this land like the humans before them, so they keep making trouble. I think we should get rid of them!” The chief was very angry. He hated the demons from the bottom of his heart and wished they would disappear. Akash’s expression changed. Although he had an opinion about the other party's words, he did not dare to express his thoughts due to his current identity. “Akash, tell me what you think about this matter. I believe that the
“I’m surprised that they’d attack me first. I thought they’d be more interested in Philip.” Loony looked at Akash thoughtfully. He knew that Akash was behind this. Akash returned his gaze silently, acting as if it had nothing to do with him. He would never admit his identity. “Ugh, that thing is so ugly.” Marina covered her mouth in a panic. Although they had a high tolerance level, these toad-like monsters were simply gross. Marina's father wanted to take this opportunity to see Philip's strength, but Philip did not take action. Loony dealt with the other party, and they found out that Loony was human. “I remember hearing a legend about a lunatic. Are you the lunatic mentioned?” Marina was puzzled by Loony’s identity. Everything Loony did proved that he was human, but none of them could do any of it. “It's said that only humans and demons can practice voodoo, which is what I think you did just now. Philip can’t possibly be involved with the demons, so if I’m not mi
Philip shrugged and said calmly, “As usual, we take one step at a time. If they use force, we’ll do the same. Don’t worry about it. Even though they're strong, it’s not as if we can’t do anything about it.” Marina's heart skipped a beat at the sight of Philip's confidence, her feelings indescribable. Marina's father was heartbroken at this scene. He wished he could slap his daughter to wake her up. “Hmph, there's no point in saying empty words. Anyone can take one step at a time. When the enemy shows up at the door, that’s the only thing we can do.” Everyone noticed the sarcasm behind the words, and Marina was shocked. She did not expect that her father would be so unreasonable as to pick a fight at this time. Before anyone could say anything else, the door was kicked open, and Philip was surprised to see the person who entered the door. Philip did not set up a barrier in this place, so anyone could enter and exit freely. Everyone was on guard against the newcomer because
