From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Do you have a grudge against them?

# Chapter 756 Ancient Matters

finally.

The robin and all the wealthy people involved in this adventure were forced to choose the second path because of Jiang Liu's words:

They went to sea to seize the elixir.

"Damn Jiang Liu! Just you wait, if I don't die, I'll make you pay a terrible price!"

Upon learning the content of the assessment and the dangers lurking in the ring-shaped sea between the Third and Second Ring Roads, Robin felt a surge of resentment, but it was to no avail. He was pushed into the ring-shaped sea along with the other wealthy individuals.

As criminals, they had no right to choose when to go to sea to retrieve clams and pearls; once the assessment criteria were determined, they had to act within a short period of time.

If they don't go into the sea, the mermaid warriors will step in to "help" them by giving them a push.

For the people of Zhou Tian, ​​diving into the sea to seize the elixir is both a tradition and a test to prove their cultivation.

Their cultivation path is based on imitating the operating principles of the local energy field. Anyone who can cultivate to the form of a mermaid can roam the ocean and swim in the sky, becoming one with the world and thus no longer being attacked by carnivorous animals in the sea.

For sinners and their descendants, diving into the sea to seize the elixir is the fundamental way for them to prove their resolve—if they are afraid of death, how can they dare to speak of forgiveness? And how can they return to the Zhou Tian realm?

Similarly, swimming alone from fifty miles outside the Third Ring Road back to the Third Ring Road is also a test of the sinner's and his descendants' determination to return to the land of Zhou Tian.

The moment it entered the water, the robin was startled by the icy seawater. Not daring to waste any more time, it took a deep breath, held its breath, and paddled downwards.

This circular sea is not deep, only fifty meters deep; it is more like a lake than a sea.

Even so, it is still a pipe dream for an ordinary person to dive fifty meters to retrieve the pearl from a clam without any equipment.

Not to mention the man-eating shrimp in the sea.

Besides the robin, the other wealthy people were also pushed into the water. Like him, they could only take a breath, dive down, and try to retrieve the pearls from the clams.

Before they could even dive thirty meters, the commotion attracted man-eating shrimp—ten feet long, covered in red armor, with two sharp claws.

One of the wealthy men caught sight of the red shadow underwater, panicked, and frantically tried to pull himself out of the water.

But his panicked movements only attracted the attention of more man-eating shrimp, who arched their backs and swam quickly toward him.

Click!

The first man-eating shrimp to approach the wealthy man extended its claws and snapped his leg, breaking the muscle and bone.

"Ah... glug!"

He cried out in pain as seawater rushed in and he choked. He struggled with his arms, but being in the water, what force could he rely on besides buoyancy?

The stench of blood attracted the other man-eating shrimp, which surrounded and devoured the wealthy man who had lost a leg.

In just three minutes, the wealthy man was devoured by hundreds of man-eating shrimp, leaving only a bloody area.

Then, these man-eating shrimp turned their attention to the other wealthy people, arching their backs and fidgeting with their antennae and legs. In no time, streaks of bloody foam appeared on the surface of the sea.

After the blood mist dissipated and no one surfaced again, the mermaid warrior swam around the waters near where the robin and the others had gone into the sea. Finding no trace of human presence, he left the ring sea and headed from the second ring towards the central city to report to Xihe.

But after they left, on the inner edge of the Third Ring Road, a hand grabbed a drooping vine, pulled hard, and a bald man emerged from the water. Gritting his teeth, he struggled to climb onto his injured side, lay on his back, and gasped for breath. He coughed twice and exhaled, "Haha! I survived! Just you wait! Jiang Liu! And that damned tyrant! I'll make you pay a terrible price!"

Unlike other wealthy individuals, Robin was able to become the branch president of the G Foundation because he possessed a more calm and cautious mind than others.

Upon learning that there were tens of millions of man-eating shrimp underwater, he knew that diving into the sea to retrieve the pearl was an impossible task. So the moment he entered the water, he immediately swam towards the Third Ring Road. Although he was not a cultivator, he had been exercising for many years and could hold his breath underwater for nearly eight minutes.

Thanks to this skill, the robin successfully avoided being eaten by man-eating shrimp. By constantly swimming towards the Third Ring Road, it also evaded the detection of the mermaid warriors afterward, thus having time to surface for air after they left.

Although the man-eating shrimp in the sea are terrifying, their body structure prevents them from surfacing, thus allowing the robin to escape danger when it needs to breathe.

Just as it was catching its breath, the robin suddenly heard a rustling sound behind it. It quickly sat up and pulled a small dagger from its pocket.

The newcomer was an elderly man with a white beard, wearing a black linen cloak with blue lines etched on his exposed skin. His eyes were black, but his pupils were white. Seeing the robin's wariness, he grinned and said, "Outsider, huh? Descendant of a sinner? Or did you come in with an ancestral talisman?"

Well ~

unimportant.

I can sense your thoughts; you possess immense ambition, and therefore require the power of the Zhou Tian region.

"who are you?"

The robin's voice deepened, and he sheathed his dagger.

Firstly, he realized that compared to those "freaks," he was just an ordinary person, and holding a dagger was nothing more than a bluff, serving no purpose other than to make others feel that he was inwardly fearful and uneasy.

Secondly, since the other party has said such things, they must have some ulterior motive—

There may be a possibility of cooperation!

Now he is all alone, and he can't contact Cheshire Cat, Deadshot, Puppet, or Violinist. In his eyes, the moment those four chose to put away their weapons, it was a betrayal, and he could no longer trust them.

Therefore, if he wants to obtain the ancient alchemy of Atlantis and the Trident of Poseidon, he must get help from someone else!

"Me? You can call me Gonggong."

The old man flashed a grin, revealing his white teeth, and said, "What do you want to gain from this Zhou Tian land? Wealth? Power? Or beauty?"

"strength!"

Although it survived this ordeal, the robin realized its own weakness. In front of those "freaks," it was like a little chick being slaughtered.

Freak?

Do not!

He has now changed his mind and believes that it is a kind of evolution! An evolution from humans to gods!

If the G-Emperor were to unify the world in the future, then it would be the entity that guides humanity towards a higher level of evolution—

That is God!

"Then you must want to obtain the alchemy technology of Zhou Tian Land and the legendary artifact: the Trident of Poseidon."

Gonggong's eyes were resolute, then he sneered, "The Trident of Poseidon does not exist; it is merely a figment of your imagination in your outside stories."

Immediately, the robin's eyes trembled.

"But there is indeed a divine artifact in this world called the Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, of which there are twenty-four. If you can obtain them, you can wield the power of the sea," Gonggong tempted.

"Why should I believe you? And what do you want in return?" The robin was wary and did not immediately choose to believe him.

"You have no choice but to believe me."

Gonggong, however, was not in a hurry; he simply chuckled.

Robin's face darkened, because he really had no choice. Although the gate to the outside world was still open, it would take at least three hours to walk from here to the high platform. Moreover, the platform was twenty meters above the ground and had no steps. How could an ordinary person like him get up there?

"My goal is very simple: to become the Emperor of the Zhou Tian Land!"

When Gonggong got excited, he raised his arms high, his eyes blazing with fervor, and declared, "I will prove to everyone that Zhuanxu was wrong!"

Robin: "......"

"Your Majesty!"

The mermaid warriors returned to the pyramid to report, "None of them passed the test; they all perished in the ring-shaped sea, devoured by man-eating shrimp."

"It's your turn."

Xihe clapped her hands, and the mermaid girl went to the back hall. When she came out again, she was holding a fist-sized, azure bead in her hands.

"This is the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, a supreme treasure of our Zhou Tian region."

The mermaid girl explained, "Back then, the bloodline of the sinners was inscribed with corresponding patterns, and their direct descendants, regardless of gender, would pass it down from generation to generation."

If the person is a descendant of a sinner, the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl will glow and outline a symbol of a human body with a fish tail and red hair.

If one is not a descendant of a sinner, Dinghai Pearl will not react.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu raised an eyebrow slightly.

I had assumed that cultivators of the Zhou Tian Di realm were involved in the level of cellular energy cultivation.

However, if we analyze the fact that the Dinghai Pearl can determine whether a person is a descendant of Gonggong, it probably involves the genetic level.

Seeing the girl bring the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl to him, Jiang Liu was the first to test it. He placed his hand on it and felt an extremely slight vibration spread throughout his body.

Then···

That was the end of it.

“You are neither a descendant of sinners nor a descendant of those who left the land of Zhou Tian; you are just an ordinary person.” After saying this, the mermaid girl presented the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl to Lu Jin.

Lu Jin reached out and grasped it, but the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl did not emit any light.

Next was Duanmu Ying, who also failed to cause any change in the Dinghai Pearl.

However, when the pearl fell into Evelyn's hands, it changed, forming a talisman with a human body, fish tail, and blue hair.

"Descendants of the people of Zhou Tian".

The mermaid girl said, "But she is not a descendant of Gonggong. She did not attain a mermaid body and return to the celestial realm, nor does she possess the ancestral fish talisman... Mother, are there any provisions in our laws regarding what she should do?"

"None available."

To be honest, since Jiang Liu had created the paper fish dragon, this was the first time such a situation had occurred. Therefore, Xi He couldn't think of a solution for the time being and could only put it aside for the time being, and make a decision after all the people had finished testing.

The test continues.

But the tests that followed were interesting.

Aside from Ansuona, who also caused the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl to display a human body, fish tail, and blue hair, the others, including Nassiwohn, all managed to make the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl display a human body, fish tail, and red hair.

Are they all descendants of Gonggong?

"incredible!"

Lu Jin was dumbfounded, never expecting that Westerners were all "guilty"!

In fact, if Evelyn and Ansulna had not been reincarnations of the innate Qi of Seti I, the daughter and consort of the ancient Egyptian king, which caused some changes in their genes, they would also have been tested and found to have a human body, fish tail, and red hair.

"Wu Ming, tell me, what kind of punishment should these descendants of sinners receive?" Xi He asked Jiang Liu with great interest.

As the ancients said, "Misfortune should not extend to one's family."

Jiang Liu bowed deeply. "The Emperor resides in the land of Zhou Tian, ​​and is naturally a great man who stands tall between heaven and earth. There is also a saying that a great man does not hold grudges against a petty person. Why not let them go?"
