Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 336 The Final "Great Prophecy"! (Third Update)

Ok?
As someone who also possesses this ancient language, Shi Ming can clearly decipher its meaning.

[The ceaseless waters...you will all perish.]

The Unending Water, ranked second on the list of rare treasures, is suspected to be one of the reasons for the flooding of the world's seas. Judging from what the Abyss Lord said, the Unending Water seems to be more than it appears.
The whispers of the Lord of the Abyss before his death were not a warning.

Instead, it was a curse, a threat.

In his dragon form, Shi Ming did not hesitate for a moment. The power of the Arm of Judgment was transmitted through the fourth dragon head, bringing the Abyss Lord his destined death.

He was neither afraid of curses nor threats.

Everyone will die.

But the enemy will die before me!

The sealed prison was thrown out by Shi Ming, covering the hundreds of meters of Abyss Lord's remains. The pure crystal, as bright as starlight, had already filled it. Black chains and threads spread out like a net, binding the Abyss Lord's corpse, which had lost the power to resist, and the sealing began.

The body of the Abyss Lord has been sealed, preventing the source of pollution from leaking out. It will take several more days to absorb the power of the Abyss Lord.

But right now, there's another creature to deal with.

Three-eyed Golden Crow.

This was also Shi Ming's main objective this time.

His eighteen dragon eyes looked down into the sea, their brutal gaze seemingly piercing through the ocean's depths and landing on the trembling three-eyed golden crow.

The great prophecy has now come into play.

……

……

……

The Golden Crow's body trembled under the immense pressure, but its thoughts remained clear. Thanks to the Great Prophecy, it had been planning various schemes long ago, hoping to avoid death at the final moment.

Escape is no longer an option.

The dragon's gaze was already fixed on them; under the watchful eye of such a powerful creature, escape was practically a pipe dream.

There is only one way to survive.

surrender.

But the three-eyed golden crow was a little intimidating.

surrender?

If the other party truly were a dragon, it might need to become its vassal and perhaps accept its surrender. But humans never need sea beasts as subordinates; more often, they cruelly steal the essence of skills by bathing in the blood of sea beasts. Last time I encountered this human, I almost died at his hands.

Today, things are likely to turn out badly.

Before it could even speak, a fierce and brutal voice echoed in its mind.

This was Shi Ming's voice projected through his mental power. He had learned how to use mental power to transmit sound from A Jian. He suppressed his murderous desires, and his voice was detached and indifferent.

"Two choices."

"Submission, death."

Killing the Three-Eyed Golden Crow and obtaining its skill essence to evolve into the Eye of the Mortal World would be the simplest and most direct thing to do. However, after consideration and with the reminder from the Eye of the Mortal World, Shi Ming realized that he only needed the skill essence of the Great Prophecy Technique. Even if a living Three-Eyed Golden Crow only possessed the [Great Sun Wheel], it would still be a good help.

And most importantly—

The Three-Eyed Golden Crow has possessed great prophetic abilities for so many years, and the prophecies it has gleaned over this long period must contain some secrets. In most cases, the prophecies revealed by fate cannot be told to others, but there are always ways to circumvent them.

The three-eyed golden crow that signs the contract will be loyal from the bottom of its heart.

Its value is greater than that of the dead.

The golden crow crouches on the decaying, crystallized coral trunk on the seabed.

“Great… dragon, I am willing to submit.”

Shi Ming shrunk his body, transforming into a three-headed form.

The three-eyed golden crow obediently left its nest and surfaced from the sea. It didn't use any special effects like a golden sun, and looked just like an ordinary, dark crow.

Its eyes darted around.

Deep down, I felt relieved.

Unexpectedly, things were easier to resolve than imagined. This powerful human actually needed his own power. Could it be that he, like the Lord of the Abyss, needed an air conditioner to regulate the temperature? Or perhaps he had other purposes and needs?
As long as I can survive, that's all that matters.

Whose underling am I, or not?

Shi Ming's gaze swept over it, sending a chill down the Three-Eyed Golden Crow's spine.

Deep down, it had a feeling that this human was probably far more brutal than the Lord of the Abyss.

Things are probably not that simple.

"Owner."

Upon hearing this, A-Jian, who was perched on Shi Ming's shoulder, snorted.

It's too good for a bird that's ranked so low to have so easily accepted its master. Once the master has completely subdued it, he'll let it know who the strongest fighter under his command is.

Before the Three-Eyed Golden Crow could finish speaking, Shi Ming threw out a Contract Core.

This is a Contract Core that he recreated using the method on the Divine Revelation Stone Tablet over the past few days. Through the upgrade of the Infinite Brain, it has been upgraded three times. He is not short of upgrade materials now, so it is not difficult for him to create a Contract Core that can control an S-class sea beast.

The core of the contract can only be implanted when the sea beast does not resist.

Near death, or accepting it willingly.

"I have two conditions."

"First, merge with the core of the contract and form a contract with me. Second, I need the essence of the [Great Prophecy] skill in your eyes and heart. Accept these two conditions, and you can survive."

"If you don't accept, then I will give you a chance to fight."

Shi Ming looked down at the golden crow.

A-Jian split into countless clones, waiting for their master's commands at any time.

The Three-Eyed Golden Crow looked at the core of the contract before it.

He was momentarily furious. Even the Lord of the Abyss wouldn't make such an excessive demand!
The essence of the Great Prophecy skill lies in its third eye and heart. Although it can be separated through self-mutilation, it would be equivalent to losing half its life. Moreover, being bound by the core of the contract would mean being completely controlled by others and losing all freedom.

It hesitated.

It had no doubt that the moment the word of refusal was uttered, it would die instantly, without even the slightest chance of escape.

The brutal humans before him seemed to have lost their patience.

Its third eye blinked.

It brought new insights into the future.

The final revelation.

It was a scene: the human who could transform into a nine-headed dragon stood on a great ship deeper than the night sky, sailing towards a truly endless sea of ​​stars. Three-eyed golden crows perched on the ship's eaves, their eyes filled with countless brilliant stars, and the Milky Way shone brightly behind them.

With a sudden burst of inspiration, the image vanished, and reality returned.

Humans stood before it, the Abyss Lord's body already firmly bound by chains and black lines. Even the most arrogant Holy Temple-level sea beast could hardly attain true eternity.

The twelve-winged black insect looked at it with disdain.

It seems to be saying, "It's your honor."

The Three-Eyed Golden Crow nodded.

It took a slight flight, picked up the core of the contract, and swallowed it.
