Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 35 Return to the Undersea City

The dog system had said before that the sound frequency of the volcano was inaudible to human ears and could only be analyzed by the system. Although it was not known whether other behemoths were like this, it was only possible that the system had said something to them, which led to this situation where everyone was watching.

"I didn't say anything. They came after me on their own. I simply introduced you to the Blue Star as the only great master! Then, they wanted to meet you! I made them wait in line."

What the hell?

and many more!

Qiu Ci glanced at the dozens of giant beasts that were gathered in a large circle before him and asked directly, "You are all beastmen!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the giant beast in front suddenly became excited, and began to wave its claws, tentacles, whiskers and other things vigorously. Many of them made bursts of strange noises, each one more excited than the other, and their huge heads nodded loudly.

It’s indeed the beast tribe.

The reason why this place has become an endless sea of death is probably because it is the only habitat of the orcs.

"Senior Chu, what exactly are these giant beasts..." Xiao She probably couldn't hear her communication with the system, so naturally he didn't understand the situation. He only knew that not long after the senior entered the seal, the volcanic giant beast chased after him. He was planning to fight back, but found that the beast suddenly stopped moving (it was communicating with the system at a low frequency).

Then... more and more giant beasts appeared, turning into the current situation, but for some reason, they never launched an attack.

"Don't worry." Qiu Ci gave him a soothing look and explained, "Well... I just remembered that my ancestors had some friendship with them, so they won't attack us."

"Ah! Ah?" Xiao Shekong was stunned. Could there be such a relationship?

Qiu Ci had already flown towards the foul-speaking volcanic beast, and it was obvious that it should be the leader of the group of beasts.

"Friends from the Beast Tribe, why are you waiting for me here?" she asked directly.

The volcanic monster no longer had the look of throwing lava spikes at the slightest disagreement. Even its face covered in lava was flashing with fiery red light, and its huge mouth opened to release bursts of sound waves.

The system instantly starts real-time translation.

[It said: I have met the miracle worker, the savior of the beast race, the opener of the divine path, the race beyond dimensions, the eternal ally, the great master of the blue star!]

Qiu Ci: “…”

No, this is a familiar smell of flattery. What on earth did you say to them, dog system? And did you update something weird in your database?

"My name is Chu Qiuci! You can just call me by my name." Qiuci was in a state of confusion. "Blue Star and the Beast Tribe have a covenant of peace and mutual assistance. If there's anything I can do to help, I'll do my best."

Volcano Head exchanged glances with the nearby animals, seeming a little reserved, and spoke after a while.

[Great Blue Star Master, it is said that you are omnipotent and can fulfill the wishes of any beastman. I wonder if you can help us... fulfill our wishes.]

No, in their legend, she has become Aladdin's magic lamp.

"I can't fulfill any of your wishes, but you can tell me and see if I can help you!" Qiu Ci replied seriously.

Volcano Head was stunned, and the giant beasts looked at each other for a while, and finally spoke.

[Great Master of Blue Star, the beastmen have drifted in this sea for a thousand years. We…we want to return home, to our holy city. But…is that possible?]

Qiu Ci was stunned. He didn't expect that they had been waiting here for so long, just wanting to return to the city under the sea.

Thinking back to what Xixi just said, after the Beast Tribe elders recast the blockade formation, the entire Holy City was locked inside. As a result, the remaining Beast Tribe members were forced to leave the Holy City and live in the nearby sea. So, for all these years, they have been wandering around this sea, not letting anyone approach. Are they protecting the city? All they want is to return to the Holy City?!

"Okay." She nodded directly and pointed at the light blue light ahead. "I will work hard to repair the equipment in the city, reset the seal, and try to get you all home."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire herd became excited in an instant. Waves of strange cheers rang out at the scene. Countless tentacles of various types were waving excitedly in the water, and even the volcano head began to spew out magma.

The scene was so grand.

Qiu Ci was almost splashed by the lava and ink, and quickly spoke out to stop them, "Alright, alright, calm down. Although I promised you, repairing your holy city... may take some time. Before that... I have a request."

The herd of animals finally calmed down and looked over in unison. Volcano Head even blinked its two huge ruby-like eyes on the top of the mountain, looking honest as if to say, "You say, we will agree to anything you say."

"Now I am the only one who can enter your holy city, so during this period of time, my friend will stay outside. You have to ensure his safety, okay?" She pointed to the little socially anxious kid behind her.

All the animals nodded frantically, patted their chests, raised their paws, and swore on the spot that they would protect each other. There was even a giant beast that rolled up a fruit bigger than its face from somewhere and handed it to She Kongjing in a flattering manner.

Social phobia scene: “…” Thank you?
Although I didn't understand what agreement Senior Chu reached with them, I felt like I was being entrusted with a child. What's going on?

"Little social phobia!" Qiu Ci turned around and patted Jing Hong's shoulder again, saying, "I have some things to do next, and it may take a while. I have already agreed with them that they will protect you within this sea area. You can choose to return to the sect first, or travel around looking for opportunities. I will send you a message when I am done."

Socially anxious Jing nodded. He still believed in what Senior Chu said. Moreover, these giant beasts obviously no longer had any hostility towards him, proving that what the senior said was true. Not only would they not attack him, they would also protect him.

In the end, he decided to gain some experience in the sea. After all, the opportunity was rare. This was a sea area that no cultivator had dared to set foot in for thousands of years. It was no exaggeration to say that there were opportunities everywhere. Now with these giant beasts here, he didn't have to worry about anything else and just had to go and get it.

After arranging Xiaoshechong, Qiu Ci returned to the underwater city with the system and went directly to the city's control center.

Unlike the research institute with light screens everywhere, the control center of this city is a huge cylinder with a few red indicator lights on it. A faint light can be seen from inside. It looks like a reactor, but it seems that it is about to be extinguished.

As soon as Yirenyitong came in, the system's small light ball plunged directly into the cylinder.

[Connected to the central power equipment, taking over all permissions, and performing a comprehensive data scan...]

A dripping sound suddenly came from the cylinder, and less than half a moment later, the system sound sounded again.

[Ding! The owner has scanned the centralized control system and needs your authorization to take over. Do you want to authorize?]

"Authorization!" Qiu Ci said directly.

[Ding! Authorized gene sequence: ********, detected as the only highest sequence. This sequence has the highest priority and will automatically initiate forced takeover. Ding! Takeover successful!]

Then Qiu Ci heard a few clicking sounds, like the sound of an ancient machine starting up again. The center of the cylinder that had been about to go out suddenly emitted a dazzling white light, turning the originally gray surface into a snow-white one, and even a faint blue light could be seen from inside.

Countless data characters flashed across the surface, then spread along the underground walls, spreading like a mosquito net, and in an instant covered the entire city.

In less than a few seconds, the entire city seemed to be lit up, and all the buildings emitted a layer of white light.

"Master, Master! I have received all the data on this city. The data shows that it was not originally a purely underwater city, but a city with both land and water parts."

"What do you mean?" It was clearly built on the seabed, and those beastmen who wanted to come back before were all sea beasts.

[In other words, the city we see now is only half of the city, the part that belongs to the land, and below this part of the ground is the seabed part, and the other half is buried.]

“…”Is it so huge?
