“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
Katie stood aside in disbelief, appalled by the disgusting merfolk. “Tom, don’t be sad. We’ll take revenge someday. The merfolk killed my family too. I won’t let them off either!” Katie clenched her fists angrily. Under normal circumstances, Marina would retort at this point. After all, Katie was just a normal human with an ordinary status. There was no way she could go against the ferocious merfolk. Even their noble and powerful bloodline might be no match for the disgusting merfolk, not to mention Katie. However, she was not in the mood to say anything now. It was useless to scorn Katie. It would not bring her family back. “As expected, every creature in this world is as insignificant as ants. Only strength is everlasting.” Philip shook his head helplessly, not expecting to see this scene as soon as he arrived. Marina was puzzled by Philip’s enigmatic words, but she simply buried her dead comrades without a word. Many of them had been seriously injured and could n
“Uncle, have you gone bonkers from the fight with the merfolk? I’ve taken such pills in their world before. It doesn’t affect us. I know you want to make me happy, but you don’t have to do this!” Seeing Marina’s disbelief, the old man jumped out and displayed his strength. Due to their past acquaintance, they knew each other’s strengths quite well. After feeling the old man's increasing strength, Marina looked in amazement at Philip who gave him the pill. “Your pill is different from the ones I’ve seen before. What's going on? Do you have a miracle pill that can turn the tables around?” Marina had no intention of doubting Philip, but the effect of Philip's pill was so good that she could not believe it. Aslan smiled calmly at Marina’s ignorance. “What do you know? Don’t compare the pills made by ordinary people to Philip’s pills. You’re simply ridiculous. Do you know how many people would kill for Philip’s pills? You really don’t know how to appreciate a good thing when i
“Can you tell me what’s going on now? The merfolk isn’t your enemy only. My little apprentice has a grudge against them too.” Philip patted Katie’s head expectantly. There must be a cause for this. Philip could not wait to find out more. Hearing that, Marina finally let down her guard and stopped behaving like a pampered princess. “To tell you the truth, the merfolk is an extension of the mermaid clan. Back then, our people gave birth to offspring with other races, but the offspring was ugly because they combined the shortcomings of the two families.” Hearing that, Philip finally knew what was going on and felt sorry for the merfolk. The fusion of two races would usually produce powerful offspring that could overturn the world at any minute. However, this union produced the opposite effect instead, resulting in ugly offspring. “Who did you hook up with to produce those weird things? I'm quite curious. After all, I fought those merfolk before, and that ugly appearance re
“I think we should go out and find out more about this world. I can’t avenge my family at my current level. It's better to improve myself and make preparations for it.” Philip almost applauded Katie’s suggestion. He did not expect that she was a girl with such substance. Katie knew that she was very weak so she decided to prepare for it instead of looking for trouble now. “In that case, let's take a look around. It’s not too late to go after them once we find out more. We’ll definitely take care of them. You don't have to worry about this. We have a common enemy. I’m just afraid you couldn’t wait,” Philip said with a smile. Philip exchanged contact information with Marina and agreed they would not take revenge for the time being. Marina had things to deal with, so they went their separate ways. “You’ll find a large city if you head in this direction. The city is quite prosperous and filled with different races. By the way, it's best to disguise your appearance.” Marina poin
“Let’s put that aside for now and talk about it after our situation recovers. The world of the gods is not big. I believe Philip can understand the situation soon. He may be disappointed by then,” Marina said seriously after sorting out her emotions. Now that her family was not around, Marina had to take charge. The others nodded without a word. They knew that they had to avenge this. Maybe everyone would have been killed or injured if Philip had not been there. Philip was hurrying along the way with his people and could not care less about the mermaids’ thoughts. With Marina's reminder, they knew that they had to abandon their human identity for now. In that case, they could pretend to be monster beasts because they already had some in the team. “Okay, you can show off your ears or tails from now on, the weirder the better. The world of the gods isn’t short of monsters anyway,” Philip said. Everyone sprang into action with great relish. It was quite fun. As they hurrie
“This auction seems quite upscale to have the local authorities maintain order.” Philip marveled as he led everyone into the city, which was very crowded with people moving in one direction. Everyone was clearly here to attend the auction so Philip followed the crowd into a huge palace. “Wow, this place is so extravagant. I feel like a villager who has never seen the world,” Aslan marveled at this luxurious place. Since they did not have an invitation letter or proof of assets, they were assigned the lowest tier. There was nothing but some stools at the lowest venue, which looked empty and frigid. “This is too much. People who have no right to enter the venue are not even worthy of a cup of tea,” Philip sighed with emotion. Philip smiled brightly as he observed the surroundings. Sure enough, they saw no humans. The other guests looked weird but not ugly, definitely not as disgusting as the merfolk. “I can tell at a glance that you come from a remote village. You don't
Seeing the other party’s appearance, Philip asked in mock surprise, “Why does this person look like a human? I thought there were no humans now. Why is he here?” Before Philip finished speaking, the man smothered his mouth as if Philip just mentioned some taboo. “Watch your words. That guy isn’t someone to be trifled with. “Back then, the humans left many descendants in the world of the gods, and this man is just one of them. Maybe you have heard of those ugly merfolk, but some lucky ones inherited the good genes between races. “Only those who have inherited good genes can wander around so openly. Ugly things like the merfolk have no right to appear in our world.” After chatting with the other party, Philip finally understood the situation. The people in this world were obsessed with appearance! No wonder he did not see any traces of the merfolk along the way. They had been exiled because they were too ugly. The genes that failed to produce a good match had no right to en
Philip shrugged at Jamie’s words. “It's just a small matter. Whether you accept the challenge or not, it's not a big deal.” Every guild had to safeguard their dignity. They had to accept the challenge or they would be seen as cowards. Philip smiled. No matter what they decided, he had a bold idea. Jamie nodded thoughtfully at Philip’s words. After some deliberation, he said goodbye to Philip. He knew what he should do. Not long after Jamie left, the news that the Celestial Palace accepted the challenge spread. They adopted a tough stance, criticizing the actions of the Hexa Guild. All the major guilds knew what was going on, but they were surprised that the Celestial Palace was brave enough to make everything public, which was no different from exposing the other party’s crimes. The Hexa Guild finally revealed their true colors. The members were ashamed of being part of the Hexa Guild. The members of the Hexa Guild knew about Lincoln's stance and were worried, wondering
Alain would be doomed if Lincoln ignored him. “No way!” Alain panicked, horrified at this development. The whole guild might be at stake if Lincoln was unwilling to help him. “I've decided not to get involved in this case anymore. Deal with the mess you created yourself. Don’t expect my help.” Lincoln was very decisive about ignoring Alain. Hearing that, everyone was in despair. “Grandmaster, don’t do this to me!” Alain knew that he was doomed. He wanted to persuade Lincoln to help him, but it seemed hopeless. Lincoln waved his hand and turned away, unwilling to lay his eyes on Alain again. In his opinion, the biggest mistake was choosing such a person as the guild leader. It did not make sense for a guild to turn out this way. If Dennis had been in charge, everything would have been different. Left in the room, Hogster and Alain looked at each other, at a loss for what to do. They had thought that Lincoln would solve the problem for them, so they just did whatever th
Alain rushed over to Lincoln to boast about his plan. He knew that Lincoln would be proud of him after hearing it. However, Alain got a slap on his face before he could even speak. He stared at Lincoln blankly, wondering what just happened. “Why did you hit me?” Alain felt embarrassed and sorry for himself. After all, Hogster and many other guild members were around. At his age, it was unacceptable to be slapped in public for no reason. The onlookers backed away in fear, avoiding eye contact with Lincoln. The murderous gaze in Lincoln’s eyes was terrifying. “Why did I hit you? Don't you know why?” Lincoln trembled in anger at Alain’s reaction. This guy had no idea what he did wrong. “I saw Philip just now.” Lincoln stared at Alain, trying to read his thoughts. However, Alain was startled and confused. “In that case, you should've seen how scared he was. That’s what he gets for offending our guild!” Alain was excited and smug at the thought of Philip being scared out of hi
Although everyone was confused, they knew that despite his arrogance, Rabbit would not accuse someone for no reason. “I went out for a walk just now, and everyone is talking about the Hexa Guild declaring war on the Celestial Palace and Philip!” Hearing that, Lincoln nearly passed out. Since everyone was talking about it, it had to be true. He never dreamed that something like this would happen right after he left. “Old man, you need to tell us what’s going on. How dare you pretend to be a nice person in front of my boss? You must be tired of living!” Rabbit was very angry at this hypocrite and wanted to yell at him. Lincoln grimaced and shook his head. He had no idea what was going on either. “I'm really sorry. Let me get to the bottom of this. If everything is true, I owe you and the Celestial Palace an explanation!” After learning about the whole incident, Lincoln knew that the Hexa Guild was at fault for everything. He felt embarrassed by this. “Sure, I’ll wait for your
Just when they thought that Rabbit would lose his temper, Rabbit laughed. “I can’t believe that the Hexa Guild is bold enough to mess with us. You gave me good news and for that, I’ll reward you handsomely!” Rabbit said with a smile. He took out a bottle of wine and handed it to the storyteller who gave him the news. It was a very precious item. The storyteller was shocked by Rabbit’s generosity. He ran to the side with the wine and started drinking it. At his level, there was no way he could finish the wine by himself. Overconsumption would lead to self-combustion, resulting in a loss rather than a gain. However, he had to drink some before someone stole it from him. The others looked at him enviously as he drank the wine, regretting not being the first person to tell Rabbit the news. The news had spread long ago, but they did not seize the opportunity and missed the wine. After Rabbit found out more details, he left, knowing full well that everyone was on his side now.
Jamie was surprised by Philip’s easygoing reaction and immediately felt the gap between him and Philip. If Jamie were in Philip’s shoes, he would be worried, but Philip was confident instead. Jamie had a lot to learn from Philip. Jamie had no idea that Philip did not take Dennis seriously at all. Philip had too many capable people under his command. He was not concerned about Dennis at all. In comparison, Dennis could be considered the most useless person under him.… On the other hand, Rabbit arrived at the market. Rabbit was quite famous among the major families by now. As a non-human with a violent temper, he was in the center of attraction wherever he went. Someone tried to kidnap Rabbit once, but not only did he fail, but the person was also beaten badly. To this day, the kidnapper was still bedridden in the hospital. Rabbit’s notorious reputation had spread far and wide, and not just anyone could deal with him. At this time, many storytellers were at the tavern tal
People in seclusion would usually not receive any news from the outside world, so contacting them would be up to luck. Therefore, Lincoln's appearance was good news for the Hexa Guild. Now that the guild was under scrutiny, Lincoln's appearance would save them a lot of trouble. Lincoln stood on the spot, looking at the yard curiously. Philip had modified the yard, so it was full of energy. Any practitioner would feel the difference at once. Jamie and the others had discovered this fact but never asked out of courtesy. Everyone had their own secret. Maybe this was Philip’s secret. Lincoln closed his eyes and felt the abundant energy. He was reluctant to leave this place that contained tens of thousands of times more energy than the place he had chosen for his seclusion. Lincoln felt conflicted. He could practice much faster in this place if the energy level remained the same. Thinking of this, he could hardly contain his excitement to practice on the spot. Seeing Jamie nex
Lincoln had never met a monster beast with intelligence! After taking a closer look at Rabbit, Lincoln had other ideas. Philip was most likely a powerful person with extraordinary strength to have such a powerful monster beast as his pet. Dennis was not a fool. Philip had to be powerful and not a coward for Dennis to willingly follow him. Thinking of this, Lincoln showed Rabbit enough respect. “Mr. Rabbit, I’m looking for Dennis from the Hexa Guild.” The guild members behind him were full of disbelief at his courtesy. They had served him for a while and knew his character very well. Lincoln would never be so polite to ordinary juniors, so this rabbit had to be unusual. Thinking of this, their attitude toward Rabbit changed from disdain to admiration. Rabbit was shocked by their eccentric behavior and looked at them skeptically. Seeing their smiling faces, Rabbit decided not to make things difficult for them. Besides, they were polite. “Oh, you’re looking for Dennis. Come
This guild member could not forget how Hogster had always stolen his resources by force. Hogster’s ugly face made him sick. Although Lincoln was back, he had lost all confidence in the guild. He just wanted to return to Dennis' side as soon as possible. Although he was a member under the guild leader, Dennis was the one who had been helping him all along. In fact, if not for Dennis’ support over the years, even Alain would not have achieved what he had today. Hence, this guild member had always been grateful to Dennis. When Dennis left, he wanted to leave with him, but due to special circumstances, he stayed until now. Unexpectedly, it came in handy. Alain was excited to hear that. In Alain's opinion, such a lowly member would not dare to lie to him, so he had to be telling the truth. He knew that this was his chance to settle everything once and for all. Alain had been worried that Lincoln would blame him, but Lincoln was deceived instead, which was great. He had nothing t
