Swallowing the Stars: Six Eyes

Chapter 47 The Collapse of the Divine Kingdom, the Migration of the Fishmen!

"The mirage sea...has disappeared?"

Kasher and the fishmen behind him stared in shock at the empty sea before them.

"What's going on?" Diaman was equally confused, having just escaped the illusion and still not understanding what had happened.

The fishmen were still in shock and didn't have time to pay him any attention.

The Mirage Sea, though a dangerous place, can be considered a sacred land for the fish-men!

All fish-men, upon reaching adulthood, come to the Mirage Sea for a baptismal ceremony, hoping to give birth to a fish-man who will inherit the legacy of the Mirage Sea God. Even if they fail, it greatly helps in tempering their will.

The domain lords present were all outstanding merfolk in the Mirage Sea Illusion.

They understand the importance of the Mirage Sea better than ordinary fish-men!

Kasher came here hoping to take away the Mirage Sea as a sacred place for the new merfolk, but he never expected that the Mirage Sea would simply disappear.

"Could it be...?"

Remembering that legendary ancestral precept, Kasher felt a chill run down his spine.

It is said that the disappearance of the Mirage Sea signifies the appearance of a successor to the divine authority, and that the fish-men will regard him as if they were seeing the divine authority itself!

"Oh, everyone's here."

Gu Ce, who had returned in a spaceship, greeted the group when he saw them gathered there.

"You... received the inheritance?"

Kasher, his eyes red, suddenly turned to look at Gu Ce.

Ordinary fish-men could never have gotten this far; only these two outsiders who escaped the abyss could. And Diaman clearly did not inherit the legacy!

According to the ancestral precepts of the Fish-Men, whoever inherits the legacy of the Mirage Sea must be regarded as a disciple of the God and possess a status surpassing that of the Fish-Men's patriarch!

For the Lord of the Withered Sea, the inheritance of his friend's legacy is of paramount importance.

"Yes."

Gu Ce narrowed his eyes, watching the fishmen warily.

"...Greetings, disciple of the God." Kasher gritted his teeth and knelt down before Gu Ce.

The other four domain lords exchanged glances and knelt down behind the new clan leader.

"Greetings, disciple of the Lord!" *4

?

Gu Ce was completely confused.

……

Kasher quickly explained the whole story.

Gu Ce roughly understood everything.

Unexpectedly, through a series of coincidences, Gu Ce became the highest-ranking member of the merfolk, even surpassing the clan leader.

"Let me see the Zhenhai Pearl," Gu Ce said tentatively.

Kasher dared not disobey Gu Ce's orders and handed over the Zhenhai Pearl.

They're really obedient.

Gu Ce glanced at him in surprise.

After taking the Zhenhai Pearl, Gu Ce examined it carefully and confirmed one thing.

The power of the Sea-Suppressing Pearl has been severely depleted.

The rare treasures born in these secret realms may have the potential to self-repair, but it would take an extremely long time.

The only remaining function of the Zhenhai Pearl is to enhance one's understanding of the fundamental laws of water.

Even if Kasher doesn't take it out, after a few hundred years, the power of the Sea-Suppressing Pearl will be completely lost, and the Dry Sea Divine Kingdom will naturally collapse. At that time, no living beings in the divine kingdom will be able to survive.

The Zhenhai Pearl was of little use to Gu Ce.

But what should we do with the merfolk?

"What are your plans next?" Gu Ce asked directly.

"This..." Kasher turned around and discussed it with the fishmen.

Not long after, Kasher spoke up: "The ancestral teachings say that seeing someone who has received the inheritance of the Mirage Sea is like seeing a deity."

"We fish-men have nowhere to go in the outside world. I wonder if we can leave with you?" Kasher asked cautiously.

broken.

Gu Ce slapped his forehead.

Where would I put them? Billions of fish-men, all of whom are cosmic-level beings upon reaching adulthood, such a force wouldn't be enough to cause trouble even if the Earth were ten times larger.

They're practically immortal beings, otherwise they could all establish their own mid-level civilization in the universe.

"How about this?"

Gu Ce called over Diaman, who was standing nearby, and began to speak.

Having received the inheritance of the Mirage Sea God, Gu Ce certainly couldn't just abandon these fish-men.

After much deliberation, the only solution I could think of was to buy an entire galaxy for them.

The price of a star system is usually between 0.1 and 1 Mixed Yuan Unit, which is quite cheap for Gu Ce.

"Diaman, does your Cuimu Empire have any vacant star systems for sale?" Gu Ce asked.

"Yes," Diaman said immediately, his expression changing.

"You don't need to buy it. I own a star system, but I don't have the ability to take it over."

"Gu Ce, if you can get these fishmen to help me, I don't need them to do anything, just nominally stand on my side, and I can make that star system my future territory for the fishmen."

With the help of these fish-men, billions of universe-level...

If Diaman still can't return to the Cuimu Empire to inherit the throne under these circumstances, then he's a complete waste.

As for not wanting to be emperor?

Just kidding, that was before they were driven away!

"You heard that too, didn't you?" Gu Ce looked at Kasher and the other fishmen.

Kasher nodded.

The merfolk communicate using a universal language, which is nothing special.

"That's fine as long as you agree."

Gu Ce clapped his hands and made a decision.

"In that case, prepare for the migration. Marquis Cangyuan is already preparing to make his move, and the divine kingdom is about to crumble." Gu Ce said after receiving the message from Hafa.

The group returned to the fish-man city, and Kasher went to arrange the fish-man migration.

With such a huge number of merfolk, it's impossible for them all to migrate. Adding in those who are unwilling to leave, it's estimated that in the end only a few billion elites will be selected to take with them, and the rest will be left to fend for themselves.

……

On the other side...

While Kasher was preparing for the migration, Gu Ce and Diaman, along with a territorial lord named Gunter, arrived in the abyss.

"My Lord God," Gunter asked, "Should all these people be released?"

"Mm." Gu Ce nodded.

There's no point in keeping them locked up; just let them out.

Bai Zhou and the others were released from prison soon after.

"Brother Gu Ce, you've become the leader of the merfolk?" Xie Peng exclaimed in disbelief as he watched the Domain Lord-level Günter respectfully standing behind Gu Ce.

You should know that there are only a handful of Domain Lords in his Blue Silver Clan, and they are rarely seen!

"How could that be?" Gu Ce denied repeatedly.

Xie Peng gave a look that said he had already seen through it all, and didn't continue speaking.

"Gu Ce, these fish-men are humans from the Divine Kingdom," Bai Zhou subtly reminded him.

Moreover, they are immortal beings who are hostile to humanity, humans within the divine realm.

"Don't worry," Gu Ce said.

Diaman's ancestor will resolve all of this.

Bai Zhou nodded. Gu Ce was confident, so he didn't say anything more, since it was none of his business anyway.

Having witnessed Gu Ce's talent, he now only wants to go back to seclusion and cultivate, and will not come out until he breaks through to the Hundred Paths Time Illusion Realm!

……

Next, Kasher selected over a billion elite fishmen and, with the help of Cangyuan Hou, returned to the Dry Sea Secret Realm with Gu Ce and others.

Then, Diaman crushed a piece of the amulet and contacted his ancestor.

With the intervention of his ancestor, and after reaching some unknown agreement with Cangyuan Hou, the Fish-Men successfully migrated to a star system of the Cui Mu Empire.

Diaman's ancestor invited Gu Ce to the Cui Mu Empire, but Gu Ce politely declined.

Next, he had one more thing to do.

……

"Gu Ce, are you willing to sell this 'Sea-Suppressing Pearl' to my teacher?" Hafa repeatedly confirmed that Gu Ce was not joking.

"Of course, this thing won't help me at all," Gu Ce nodded and said.

Once the Zhenhai Pearl was in his hands, he certainly wouldn't return it to the fish-men, since it was no longer of any use to him anyway.

"My teacher said that although the Zhenhai Pearl is damaged, it is still possible to repair it, and he is willing to give you something in exchange."

After a moment, Hafa looked up again and spoke.

"What?" Gu Ce asked.

"Star-eating grass larvae." Hafa spoke with a tone full of surprise, enunciating each word clearly.
