Even if he died fighting today, he had to seek justice for the fishermen. The little girl and her family fled in the direction of the Imperial City, running and stumbling along the way, looking miserable. Tom had recovered some strength during this time and could fight the merfolk. Although at a disadvantage, Tom did his best. The fishing village was not too far from the Imperial City so the little girl and her family soon arrived. After verifying their identities, the guards let them in. Although they looked strangely flustered, the guards could not stop people with normal identities from going in. The Imperial City was not as quiet as the small fishing village. It was a time when the nightlife was the busiest, and Lyle and Aslan were out having fun. After learning that Philip would go to the world of the gods soon, they cherished their life here, fearing that they would not be enjoying this sense of superiority before long. “To be honest, I look forward to that place, b
This man named Tom was probably related to Marina, and their enemies were after him. Tom asked this little girl to pass on the message, hoping that someone could save him. Philip asked the little girl about Tom’s location. “Where is Tom now? We’re practitioners. Maybe we can save him.” The little girl was very happy to hear that and pointed out a direction. Philip gave the little girl an address and told her to wait there. “Since you have nowhere to go, stay there and wait for us to bring Tom back.” After saying that, Philip and the others disappeared from the spot, as terrifying as ghosts. The family was still in shock. They looked at the address Philip handed over and went to the place while asking for directions along the way. Meanwhile, Marina was uneasy and felt that something bad was about to happen. Philip and the others quickly appeared in the small fishing village. The small fishing village was in shambles and the scent of blood could be smelled from a long d
Tom's expression changed upon hearing Aslan’s remarks. No one was allowed to humiliate his young lady like this, but on the account that they saved his life, Tom forced himself to endure it. “Please take me to my lady as soon as possible. We’re not from this world. Our bodies will be affected if we stay here any longer!” Tom said anxiously, his sincerity apparent. Philip nodded and signaled the others. They led Tom back to their house. Marina was wandering outside because she was uneasy. Although she did not know what happened, she felt uncomfortable. “Is Tom in trouble?” Marina paced back and forth worriedly. She wanted to find Tom but had no idea where to go in this big world. At this time, Tom saw Marina pacing back and forth in the garden. Tom rushed up and knelt in front of her excitedly. “My lady, I failed to protect you and caused you to be stranded alone outside for such a long time.” Tom was so excited to see Marina again that tears welled up in his eyes. H
Marina had obviously taken a turn for the worse. The scales on her body were dull, not at all shiny as before. Marina looked at her dull scales dejectedly, knowing very well that she was in trouble now. Things would be tricky if she could not leave in time. “When can we set off?” Marina asked instead of answering Philip’s question. If Philip could open the portal in time, she would not have to stay in this place anymore. “Tomorrow.” Although Philip was very curious about the world of the gods, he knew it was not a place normal people could visit at random. Their lives would be at risk if anything happened. Thinking of this, Philip decided to make the final selection. He would only bring Lyle and Aslan with him for now. At this time, Foxy appeared in front of Philip. As someone not involved in this incident, Foxy wanted to tag along too. “Don’t leave me behind. I want to see what the world of the gods looks like.” Foxy kept flicking her ears, which looked cute and
“Tom, what brings you here at this hour?” Philip said curiously. This guy was not on his side so this was clearly not a social visit. There must be a reason for this visit. “I want to ask for a favor. Can you take the little girl away with you? I want to take her to the world of the gods but my lady refused!” Tom was a forthright person and spoke his mind. Philip was surprised to hear this. He always thought that these creatures were heartless but Tom was different. “My lady said that only gods can live in the world of practitioners so I can’t bring the little girl with me.” Hearing that, Philip smiled brightly. He always wanted to learn more about this so-called world of the gods, and a tour guide just turned up at his doorstep. “I want to help you, but I don't know anything about that place. Why don't you tell me about the situation in that world first? If there’s no big problem, I’ll help you,” Philip said, trying to pry for information. Tom was excited upon hearing th
Philip smiled at the little girl’s words. This took no effort at all. He was still wondering how to speak to her but she took the initiative to approach him instead. “Why do you want to become stronger?” Philip smiled calmly as if he could read her thoughts at a glance. “You may think that I want to become stronger because of Tom, but that's not the case. I want to become stronger to avenge my family. Since the monsters come from the so-called world of the gods, I want to follow you to that world and kill them all!” The little girl's eyes were full of anger. She could hardly control her emotions when she thought of these creatures killing her family, relatives, and friends. “Tom is a nice guy, but I don’t care about such things. I’m more concerned about avenging my family!” Philip nodded with satisfaction at the little girl’s declaration. The little girl knew what she wanted and did not disappoint him. “In that case, take these pills and eat them. You have to bear with it
“Are you planning to bring her along?” Marina pointed at Katie standing behind Philip in surprise. In Marina's opinion, a powerful practitioner like Philip should not have any dealings with these ordinary women. “Yes, I’ll bring Katie with me and practice with her. Do you have any objections?” Marina shook her head. She did not have any objection but felt pity for Philip. “Forget it, you’ll regret your decision to bring such a burden with you when you reach the world of the gods.” After saying this, Marina fell silent as if she was unhappy with Philip’s stupid decision. Philip simply took out the stone from his pocket and poured some energy into it. “Get ready to leave.” As more energy was infused, a portal soon appeared, and everyone was excited to see the door. Marina dashed inside without hesitation and disappeared behind the door. Philip and the others walked in one after another. After a short wave of dizziness, Philip and others saw the world in front of the
“I finally realized why we couldn’t breathe normally in that strange sea area. It’s because our strength isn’t there yet, not because there’s a problem with it!” Lyle shared with everyone his discovery via voice transmission. Everyone ignored his jokes. They looked around curiously, trying to see what was going on. They stopped when they came across some mermaids in a miserable state. The mermaids were seriously injured with their scales ripped off. Tom rushed over in a panic, wondering what was going on. “Lady Marina is back. She escaped the merfolk's pursuit and came back!” someone shouted excitedly after seeing Marina. An elderly man rushed out from a corner. “Tom, take Lady Marina and leave. This place isn’t safe anymore. Many of our people have left. The merfolk will come back again if we don’t leave now. We can't fight them!” The old man was obviously seriously injured. After speaking so anxiously, he coughed blood and looked very miserable. Marina shed tears
“No one ever comes to my place. You must be outsiders.” Celeste was curious, wondering who Philip was. Celeste knew about the four unique races, but Philip’s appearance and form did not fit any of them. “You’re right. I’m an outsider. I wanted to know something, so I came to the forest. It’s best if you can give me an answer. I don’t intend to harm anyone. If you can answer my questions, I’ll leave and remove the curse on you as well,” Philip persuaded her. He felt that the woman was quite sincere, different from what he imagined. In that case, there was no need to make things difficult for her. Besides, he did not feel a murderous vibe in her, so she had probably never done anything bad. Philip had no reason to make things difficult for someone who liked to hide and sing. “Go ahead. I’ll answer you if I know, but I don’t really know much. I usually stay in my own territory and have no contact with the outside world. Even the other races don't know of my existence.” Rabbit
Philip felt that there was no problem with his hearing. Someone was humming a song, and the tune sounded very strange and spooky in the dark forest. Rabbit frowned and nodded. He also heard the strange sound and was scared. “Who has nothing better to do but to sing here?” Rabbit nervously grabbed the corner of Philip's clothes, afraid that Philip would leave him behind. Philip shook his head. According to the others, no one would come here for no reason. Due to various dangers in the forest, they would only wander around the edge without seeking trouble in the depths. In that case, the abrupt singing voice was very strange, indeed. “Philip, don't be nervous. Stay calm.” Rabbit's voice was trembling. Although Rabbit kept telling Philip to stay calm, he was already freaking out, so scared that he nearly wanted to run away. Philip knew Rabbit’s character, so he did not comment. He simply observed the surroundings and listened carefully to the sound, which was so ethereal tha
Philip took Puffy along and quickly arrived in a forest where the other races usually hunted, so they should not face any danger here. As soon as Philip left, a woman appeared in the corner and looked in the direction where Philip left with a conflicted look on her face. “Should I follow him?” Ariadna had been left behind in the snake people’s village. She had no friends, and no one paid her any attention. Sometimes, they even displayed their ridicule and disdain for her. She did not get good treatment even though she was a junior from the outside world. In desperation, Ariadna decided to follow Philip. Unexpectedly, she saw Philip with a cute kid the next second. Ariadna was surprised to see that Philip had such a big and cute child. “Wait, that kid looks a little weird.” Due to the distance, Ariadna could not see what the kid looked like, but his color and body shape seemed different from that of normal people. After much deliberation, Ariadna decided to tag along, co
“I’ll look around and find out what’s going on. Don’t worry about me. Look for Ronan if anything crops up.” Philip decided to leave Ronan in charge. Ronan did not object. He knew that Philip wanted to train him. He rarely interacted with others, so he had poor social skills. He had improved with Philip’s help, but his skills were still nothing compared to Philip’s subordinates. He was deeply moved by the opportunity that Philip had given him. “Sure enough, heroes will emerge from the youth. You two will have a bright future!” Wren said excitedly. Philip did not comment. After a few pleasantries, he wandered around with Rabbit. Selma and her people had no time for Philip. They finally found their predecessors, so they had many questions to solve. Philip was most interested in getting to the bottom of this mysterious place. It felt more like a cage designed to trap them. It was devoid of rich energy and other resources suitable for them. What was the purpose of the person b
A woman like Arachne who pursued her own happiness was usually frowned upon. A person who was willing to sacrifice for the family would be recorded in history forever. Weaver patted Ariadna's shoulder expectantly, believing she could carry it out. After all, he did not know what had happened between them earlier. Everything was a big mistake. “I don’t think I can complete this difficult task,” Ariadna said nervously, afraid that Weaver would put too much hope on her. Ariadna knew that Rabbit had a grudge against her. Moreover, some of her actions had offended Philip, who might ignore her because of that. Thinking of this, she wanted to decline the task, but Weaver was very firm about his decision. “As the holy maiden of the family, this task is yours. No one else can do it but you.” Weaver put Ariadna on a high pedestal, so all the pressure fell on her. Weaver left with the others, leaving the poor holy maiden behind. Arachne looked at Ariadna resentfully. The opportunity
“You never considered the consequences when you tried to take advantage of us. We brought them here, and they have the right to choose. Don't think about taking advantage.” Philip nodded at Fitz’s attitude. Sure enough, he liked this earnest man and was happy with his point of view. “If you want something, you need to pay a price for it. As I mentioned, I’m a businessman, so I prefer fair trade. I’m more than happy if you want to discuss a deal with me.” In fact, they had reached an agreement before the spider people arrived. Philip would not help the other three races for free, but he was not bad enough to charge them fees either. However, the spider people were different. Not to mention that Philip had a bad impression of them, but Rabbit’s grudge also remained unavenged. The spider people scowled at Philip’s disrespect, which was simply outrageous. The other races laughed gloatingly. The spider people had always been arrogant and domineering, preventing their developme
“I'm afraid that the snake people will strike a deal with him and monopolize everything.” The old man anxiously led everyone in the direction of the snake people. They could not miss the chance to share a piece of the pie. However, he did not intend to tell his people about it. The other two races no longer existed in the outside world, so it did not matter if they could not leave. It would be best to let their legends fade away in history. That idea was very selfish. Just when he thought he could grab all the benefits by stealth, the snake people shared the information without keeping it a secret. However, the snake people only shared the news with the other two races. They did not have a good impression of the spider people and even had the idea of leaving them behind. When the spider people hurried over, they found a crowd. They saw not only the young ones of the snake people but also those from the other two races. The other two races were the turtles and magpies. Just li
The old man felt annoyed when he saw the two women not getting along. He knew that the holy maidens of the family would face a lot of struggles. Ambitious women would try every means to cause trouble just to destroy the status of the holy maidens. By doing so, they could find ways to replace them. It was an underhanded method but effective. After all, not everyone could cope with the distinguished status of the holy maiden. One mistake could be fatal. Therefore, a holy maiden had to be prideful and flawless, just like an untainted and pure white lotus. The old man nodded thoughtfully. He did not think that Arachne looked like the holy maiden, and his suspicions were confirmed. She was not the holy maiden at all. Actions spoke louder than words. Arachne did not carry a regal bearing, so she would not act like a queen even if she wore a crown. At first, the old man wondered why the spider family would choose someone so unbefitting for the role of the holy maiden. Now that
At this point, an old man walked over. Although they usually maintained their true form, they sometimes took on a human form. Unlike the snake people who did not look very different between the two forms, the spider people looked outrageous in their true forms. “Are you one of the younger generation from outside?” The old man was curious to see the younger children's arrival at this place today. As someone who could not wait to make an impression, Arachne rushed forward and began to introduce herself. In short, Arachne was gradually taking over Ariadna’s position. Although the others were annoyed, they did not say anything because Arachne was really putting in some effort. There was no point in arguing about such things. The most important thing was to remove their curse. The old man was very excited and could not wait to welcome them. “This is wonderful. It has been thousands of years since we saw an outsider!” His eyes gleamed with excitement. “Tell me how you got in,” he
