Chapter 460: The Eighth Element
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Lord Nidhogg, come.”
Floating in midair, Watson faced Nidhogg with a severe expression.
Relying on water from the Spring of Life flowing through his body, Nidhogg’s huge eyes, which had already recovered to their original state, turned and were fixed onto Watson’s body. Then, when he suddenly stretched out his hand, countless undead armies rushed in Watson’s direction with weapons in their hands.
Tens of thousands of years ago, Nidhogg had survived the battles then. He had fought for at least thousands of years, and thousands of years of fighting had made him tired. His desire to become a peak warrior had been destroyed, causing him to become what he was then. It was hard to imagine how many creatures he had killed to make him feel like killing was an incredibly dull thing.
The endless stream of the undead in the sky formed a densely packed sun made of dead souls. That sun was even stronger than the one released by Fafnir, except that the sun was black. Furthermore, unlike Fafnir’s sun, it did not emit an unbearably high temperature. Instead, it emitted an icy cold feeling that made people despair.
Many dragons on the Divine Dragon Star trembled when they looked at that sun. They closed their eyes and did not dare to look at it.
Watson, who was at the center of the attack, felt something even stronger. He could feel the shadows of death and despair. It was as if vines were quietly crawling on his limbs and gradually covering his entire body, and the illusion of being unable to resist the attack in front of him rose in his heart. That feeling made him unable even to move a single finger.
Nidhogg did not intentionally release that feeling. Instead, it was carried by the undead that formed that black sun. Those undead were all warriors who had once challenged Nidhogg. As elites from different eras, they were all people with firm wills. However, they were still brutally killed by Nidhogg. That fear, that no matter what method they used they would not be able to defeat Nidhogg. After their death, it turned into a deep despair that was left behind, and everyone who could feel that despair was moved.
At that moment, under the overwhelming waves of despair, Watson’s eyes had lost their l.u.s.ter. He did not move, allowing the black sun to wash over his body. It burned his tiny ant-like figure into ashes in the huge sun.
That was not the end. After he was swallowed by the black sun, Nidhogg suddenly stretched his huge right claw at the black sun.
With a m.u.f.fled sound, the black sun was crushed. Countless undead disappeared in Nidhogg’s claws, and the world returned to its peaceful state.
“Watson died just like that?” Fafnir could no longer maintain her Sun Dragon G.o.d form and returned to her human form. She sat on the ground in a daze, and there was no light in her eyes.
Watson could not even resist the black sun cast by Nidhogg, not to mention that Nidhogg had even crushed the black sun with his own hands after that. Even she might not be able to survive that attack, let alone Watson.
“Nidhogg, you lunatic, do you know what you just did? Watson is a genius that might not appear again even after thousands of years. With him around, the dragons will become even more prosperous. And you killed him with your own hands! Do you know how many opportunities the dragons will lose because of you?”
After she took a deep breath and calmed down, Fafnir propped herself up with her palm on the ground. Her eyes were bloodshot.
If it were not for the fact that she knew she could not defeat Nidhogg, she would have killed someone then. Initially, she did not support Watson’s idea of ruling the dragons, but she had agreed to that in her heart. As someone who interacted with the humans, she understood how powerful humans were. Humans were weak by themselves but had power in numbers. Humans would explode with power that even G.o.ds could not reach.
In Fafnir’s opinion, the power that humans possessed was known as quant.i.ty. No matter how many people were killed, they would not be able to kill all of them. No matter what kind of disaster they encountered, they would be able to survive and reproduce in large numbers. If the dragons could also do that, they would obtain power thousands of times stronger than humans. However, that opportunity has disappeared.
“Anyone who violates my rights and interests must die! Fafnir, you are no exception.”
Nidhogg lowered his head and glanced at Fafnir. He raised his other claw, and the black sun appeared once again. It seemed like even Fafnir would be killed.
“Hey, Nidhogg, you’ve gone too far! Let’s not talk about Watson, a mere human who wanted to rule over us. It is normal for you to feel angry about that, but Fafnir is one of us, a Dragon King. It would be a great loss if you were to kill her.”
The Light Dragon King could not stand it anymore. He braced himself and flew into the air.
“I don’t like being lectured by others. Are you saying that I did something wrong to protect my rights? You’re stopping me from carrying out punishment when others trampled on my rights. That is equivalent to lessening my rights. If it were you, would you fight back when your rights are violated?”
The Light Dragon King’s mouth twitched in response to Nidhogg’s question.” Nidhogg, I’m only asking you not to kill Fafnir. Why are you talking about rights and interests? I don’t understand what rights and interests would be violated if you let a fellow dragon go.”
There was a problem with Nidhogg. No matter what he said, he would always talk about rights and interests. That was taboo in the dragons, and even the Dragon King did not dare touch it. Once Nidhogg changed the topic to rights and interests, the best thing to do was to agree with him. However, the Light Dragon King had no choice but to bite the bullet for Fafnir.
As expected, even though Nidhogg was powerful, his brain was a little abnormal. What was that about rights and interests? He did not see how Nidhogg’s wanton killing was a legitimate reason that had to do with one’s rights and interests.
“As expected, you don’t understand me, yet, you interfere with my actions. That is also a violation of my rights and interests.”
There was a hint of depression and disappointment in Nidhogg’s voice. His huge dragon claws did not aim at Fafnir but instead aimed at the Light Dragon King. It was clear that he wanted to kill the Light Dragon King, who had just violated his rights and interests.
The Light Dragon King’s body trembled, and despair appeared on his face. Seeing that he was about to die, his body floated. Wanting to react but unable to do so, the other Dragon Kings around him turned their heads away, not daring to look.
The dragons might lose two Dragon Kings. They had already begun to plan how they would take in the dragons under those two Dragon Kings’ command.
Suddenly, a m.u.f.fled sound rang out. The huge black sun released by Nidhogg stopped in front of the Light Dragon King. A human figure inserted himself between the black sun and the Light Dragon King, and his golden hair was covered in starlight. It was as if his eyes contained the knowledge of the entire universe. He looked very similar to Watson, but there was a big difference.
“This is the second time you’ve summoned me! The world I’m in did not cause so much trouble in the past. It seems that the world you’re in is somewhat different from the world I’m in.”
Stretching out a finger, Future Watson easily blocked the black sun that Nidhogg had released.
“Using the Spring of Life as blood, the G.o.d-killer from the Thorn Empire had actually appeared here three years earlier! There’s also a starlight-tier dragon and countless Dragon Kings. This scene doesn’t exist in my memories. Interesting.”
Before that, Watson was almost killed by Nidhogg’s attack. Amid danger, he released the strongest move he had mastered by summoning his future self.
Using the Limitless Compa.s.s and the Wheel of Reversal, he used almost all the power to summon his future self. He had successfully blocked two of Nidhogg’s attacks. Then, Future Watson was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, after observing the surroundings, he revealed an interesting expression.
“What’s going on? That young man’s body has become bigger, and the aura he gives off has also become different. Is that the effect of some kind of potion? For example, the Ascension Potion that can elevate a person to the starlight-tier, or is that some kind of magical method?”
All the dragons, including Fafnir, had looks of disbelief on their faces. They thought that Watson had died, but who would have thought that not only was Watson not dead, but he had even blocked Nidhogg’s attack easily? The strength that the young man displayed at that moment had already surpa.s.sed that of an ordinary G.o.d.
Just as they were in the midst of their confusion, Nidhogg’s huge right claw suddenly loosened. Watson’s entire body was covered in blood as he pushed his fingers outward. He crawled out from within and floated in midair. He said, “Future me, you said that that scene did not appear in your memory. Perhaps my experience is different from what you experienced in the past? Also, what do you mean by the G.o.d-killer from the Thorn Empire?”
After seeing the two Watsons, all the dragons were even more confused. Nidhogg’s pupils contracted, and he did not attack immediately.
“It’s nothing. Saying too much now is not good for you. Perhaps it’s because you used the Wheel of Reversal to summon me, which caused the world to change to a certain extent! However, to satisfy your curiosity, I’ll reveal something to you. The creature you’re facing now is called Nidhogg. It’s the disaster I told you about three years later from the Thorn Empire.”
Future Watson pointed at Nidhogg. As he spoke, a large part of his memory entered Watson’s mind.
The future him from three years later was much more mature than he was, and he was standing on the ruins of a kingdom. The ruins were filled with broken walls. Blood-stained hands reached out, trying to grab something, but in the end, they fell powerlessly.
On the broken walls, a huge hole appeared in the blue sky. A black dragon was floating in the air, spewing out black flames that burned the world. Behind the huge hole, a few pairs of huge eyes were watching everything, greed appearing in their eyes.
Future Watson was sitting on the ruins, holding Antonio and Reid’s bodies in his hands. He cried silently, and blood-red tears rolled down the corners of his eyes.
That memory quickly flashed across Watson’s mind, imprinting itself at the bottom of his heart. It shocked him greatly. He understood that it was the memory he would impart to himself in the future. Three years later, something had happened in the Thorn Empire that caused Nidhogg, whose lair was located in the Thorn Empire, to destroy the world. His thought of ruling the dragons happened to allow him to meet Nidhogg in advance.
If he had known about what had happened in the Thorn Empire, if he had been able to control Nidhogg in advance, none of that would have happened. Future Watson had made that clear in the memory he transmitted to him.
“Even though I don’t know why my meeting with Nidhogg was brought forward by three years, that isn’t a good thing. In the past, I could feel that the world you were in was undergoing a huge change. That change would allow you to encounter dangers that you shouldn’t have encountered in advance! I might not be able to help you to the extent you need.”
Future Watson spoke as if sensing the thoughts in Watson’s heart. Watson had a fusion system. As long as he used the fusion system to fuse Nidhogg, he would obey his orders. There would not be any future tragedies. However, Future Watson said that what should have happened three years later was brought forward by three years. What did that mean? Everything that Watson had experienced was brought forward? What if Watson had encountered something that should not have happened?
A glint flashed through the eyes of Future Watson. He was apprehensive about Watson. Even if Watson had experienced a disaster in an untimely manner that was even more tragic than what he had experienced in the past, it would be difficult for him to escape. If the enemy Watson encountered were an enemy that would only appear in the future, it would be useless even if he was summoned.
“I hope my guess isn’t correct.”
Future Watson muttered to himself. He turned his head and looked at Nidhogg again. As someone who did not belong in that time and s.p.a.ce, his existence was limited.
“Nidhogg, the moment I descended, I already understood the reason for your anger. In detail, no one harmed your rights. It would be better to say that what I did in the past was to protect your rights! I apologize to you for my past self, and I promise that I will not deprive you of your t.i.tle as the Dragon King. The past me can change our name, for example, the Dragon Emperor. In that way, you will still be the Dragon King, and I will also be able to rule the dragons. Killing two birds with one stone, don’t you think?”
Future Watson spoke with confidence. Hearing that, the dragons and the Dragon Kings had strange expressions on their faces. Even if Watson changed his t.i.tle, he would still rule over the dragons and Nidhogg, right? What difference would that make? Nidhogg would definitely get angry again.
To their surprise, Nidhogg did not get angry. Instead, he thought about it seriously and nodded. “You’re right. As long as I’m still the Dragon King, my rights and interests will not change. Watson can be the Dragon Emperor. That doesn’t violate my rights and interests. I agree to your request.”
“Then it’s decided.”
Future Watson smiled and lowered his head to take a look at Watson. Then, he took a step forward and disappeared into the air as if he had never appeared before.
Really? Nidhogg had agreed?
The dragons, including Watson, could not help but tremble and almost fall. They did not expect that the thing that Nidhogg was struggling with was not that he had to endure Watson’s rule; instead, he was struggling with the fact that his t.i.tle as the Dragon King could be changed. Was that thinking a little too strange?
Watson could see himself having a relations.h.i.+p with that dragon named Nidhogg in the future. He could easily calm Nidhogg’s anger with a few words; Nidhogg’s brain was not something that ordinary people could understand.
“It seems that everything has been resolved. You are still the Dragon King, and I will become the Dragon Emperor. Is there any problem with that?”
Watson wiped the blood off his body and looked around. The other dragons fell into silence. The first to react was the Light Dragon King. He thought that he was dead when he faced Nidhogg’s attack. At that moment, he remained safe with Watson’s help. As he survived the disaster, he could not help but feel grateful toward Watson.
“Watson, I support you to become the Dragon King. You saved my life. From now on, I am willing to accept your rule.”
The Light Dragon King knelt on one knee toward Watson. He lowered his head.
With someone taking the lead, the other dragons did not hesitate for long, and all knelt on one knee before Watson. “We are also willing to submit to you. From now on, you are our Dragon Emperor.”
What a joke. The future clone that Watson summoned could suppress Nidhogg, and it could even make Nidhogg, who could not be appeased once he lost his temper, submit. That strength far exceeded their expectations. In addition, Watson also had all sorts of magical abilities. They did not seem to have any other choice but to agree.
“Very good. Since everyone has agreed to my request, then please sign the contract.”
Watson smiled and took out the contract that he had prepared from his clothes. He handed it to every dragon, including Nidhogg, and they signed the contract. Watson was relieved.
Before the Dragon Kings arrived, he was confident that he could make them fall in love with his generous offer. He was not afraid that they would have rebellious thoughts as long as they did after he fused them. He never thought that there would be such a monstrous existence like Nidhogg among the Dragon Kings. His plan almost failed, and he almost died.
At the same time, his future self was right. The last time he summoned his future self, he clearly told him to be careful of the disaster in three years. Had the disaster been resolved? Or was an even greater disaster awaiting him?
Watson threw those uneasy premonitions out of his mind. “These things haven’t happened yet. It’s unnecessary to think so much, and the future may not necessarily get worse! I’ve already done what I couldn’t do in the future. That proves that I’ve already surpa.s.sed my future self. As long as I continue to work hard, the future may even be better.”
Comforting himself, Watson took the signed contracts from the Dragon Kings. He used those contracts as a simple means to restrain the Dragon Kings. The real meaning was to fuse them.
“Since the contracts have been signed, the Dragon Kings are now my subordinates. I’m very generous to my subordinates. Now, I’m going to raise you to the level of a dragon G.o.d like Fafnir. Who wants to go first?”
“I’ll go first!” As soon as Watson’s voice fell, the Light Dragon King stretched out his hand.
“No, I’ll go first.”
“Don’t fight for it. Let me go first.”
The Dragon Kings spoke, one after another. No one would let anyone go first. When there were no benefits, none of them were willing to accept Watson’s rule. Then, when they saw the benefits, they began to fight for it instead. It was not only because they were eager to receive benefits, but their hearts moved after seeing Nidhogg’s and Fafnir’s power.
In the past, they were just ants in front of Nidhogg. However, if they could obtain power similar to Fafnir’s, even if they could not defeat Nidhogg, they could at least get the power to escape.
“It doesn’t matter who comes first. In any case, I can raise each of you to the same level as a Dragon G.o.d.”
Watson was delighted with the Dragon Kings’ reactions. He took out a potion in his hand and poured it into his mouth. He began to flip the Book of Wisdom to start the fusion process.
In just half an hour, six powerful auras suddenly appeared on the Divine Dragon Star. Those six powerful auras came from the other six Dragon Kings, excluding Fafnir and Nidhogg.
“I’ve advanced to the same level as a Dragon G.o.d. If I want to break through the seal to enter the divine realm, I can do that at any time! That’s great! Maybe I’ll be a G.o.d that’s on par with the Dragon G.o.d!”
The Light Dragon King opened his hands, and endless light in the universe gathered in his palms, leaving a huge illusion of the dragons in the deep universe. He was no longer the Light Dragon King; instead, he had successfully advanced to the Divine Star-seeking Dragon.
The Forest Dragon King, who had also advanced to the Divine Nature Dragon, glanced at the Light Dragon King with disdain. She said, “Light Dragon King, your current strength is a gift from the Dragon Emperor. Don’t be so smug! The divine realm might not be as beautiful as you think. Otherwise, why would Nidhogg, who has the ability to become a G.o.d, be stuck at the sovereign tier without breaking through? Who knows, you might just enter the divine realm and be eaten by a group of G.o.ds as delicious pastries.”
“Well, that makes sense!”
The Light Dragon King nodded and looked at Nidhogg, standing by the side with his arms crossed and face full of melancholy. “By the way, why didn’t Nidhogg accept the Dragon Emperor’s gift? Is the DragonEmperor’s gift also a way to destroy his rights and interests? It would be great if he thinks that way. Right now, my strength is inferior to his. However, as long as the Dragon Emperor gives a few more gifts, we might be able to surpa.s.s him.”
All the Dragon Kings were excited about the gifts given by Watson. Nidhogg had no intention of letting Watson increase his strength.
“Nidhogg, do you want to increase your strength too?”
Watson wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked hesitantly after increasing the strength of all the other dragons.
He did not know if Nidhogg would accept his request, but it was necessary. If he fused Nidhogg, he would obey him psychologically and physically. Furthermore, Nidhogg would become stronger. Who would dislike having a stronger subordinate?
“Yes.”
Watson was still thinking nervously when he heard Nidhogg’s calm response.
“Seriously? Then I won’t stand on ceremony.” He muttered in his heart. It seemed deprivation was a violation of rights and benefits for Nidhogg. Watson flipped through the Book of Wisdom and duplicated a large number of ancient dragons. He transformed them into light and fused them into Nidhogg’s body.
At that moment, the number of ancient dragons Watson had summoned was greater than when he had fused the other Dragon Kings.
“Why did Nidhogg agree to the Dragon King’s request? If he becomes stronger after the fusion, wouldn’t we still be living under his fear?” The Light Dragon King could not help but grumble in a low voice after seeing Nidhogg’s true form. Their fear of Nidhogg had reached an unprecedented level. After all, facing a dragon who attacked at the slightest disagreement and even killed his own kind would make anyone feel afraid, right?
It was not just the Light Dragon King who had thought so. The other Dragon Kings also showed similar expressions.
Ignoring their thoughts, Watson was currently fusing a large number of dragons into Nidhogg. He did not notice that when Nidhogg was fused with those ancient dragons, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes; it was as if he knew all the dragons that were fusing into his body.
“Congratulations, Master, for fusing a large number of dragons and Doomsday Judgment Dragon. You have obtained the Star Creation Dragon, a peak starlight-tier dragon.
[Peak starlight-tier dragon: Star Creation Dragon.]
[Abilities: Creation (able to destroy a world with a single thought, or create a world with a single thought), Source of Life Magical Power (that source of magic power is the eighth source of magic power that does not exist in that world. The power can heal everything, and it can also bestow life to non-living beings), I am for Everyone (can use your flesh and blood and soul to create different lives and can distribute your abilities to others), Everyone is for Me (you can also take away all the power that you bestow upon others), and the Star G.o.d Kingdom (that divine kingdom is made of stars, and it contains a power that surpa.s.ses that of an ordinary divine kingdom).]
[Additional ability: Astral Lord (able to summon the stars to descend and transform them).]
Following Watson’s fusion, the originally gloomy-looking Nidhogg still had a moody appearance. However, a pentagram formed from starlight appeared in his eyes, continuously rotating. Furthermore, the eye shadow that Nidhogg had originally smeared on his face also had the color of starlight. If the previous Nidhogg gave off the feeling of a despairing youth, his new appearance was one of a handsome youth exuding despair. Amidst the despair, there was also a hint of a new life.
Although Nidhogg, who had been promoted to starlight-tier, did not have many abilities, each of them was very powerful. In particular, his primary ability was to create a world. As long as he willed it, he could create a world. Furthermore, he could add all sorts of things to the world that had already surpa.s.sed the G.o.ds.
Nidhogg had also obtained another element that did not exist in that world.
Earth, fire, water, wind, light, and darkness—those were the six elements that existed in the past. Watson created the chaos element, and then there was an eighth element in the world, the life element. Although Watson did not fuse that element, it was still equivalent to what he had created.
With the appearance of the eighth element, a sizable elemental tide suddenly appeared in the sky. Six different elemental symbols appeared in the elemental tide—earth, fire, water, wind, light, and darkness. At the top of those elemental symbols was the pupil-less eye chaos that ruled everything. At that moment, under the seven elements, an emerald-green element appeared on the opposite side of the chaos. That element’s symbol was like a blooming World Tree—it had nothing to do with the seven elements. It was independent of the seven elements, but it could rival the chaos elements.
At the moment when the life element appeared, a vast vitality radiated in all directions from them. All the flowers and trees in the world began to shake. Bits of pure life essence emerged from the flowers and trees, rose into the air, and gathered into the symbol of the life elements. Soon, a huge green ball full of vitality appeared.
That was the source for the life element. It was different from when Watson created the chaos element. The chaos element did not originally exist in the world. Watson forcefully fused it with the six basic elements. Meanwhile, the life element had originally existed in the world. It was high-tier energy that was stored in the World Tree. It could allow the G.o.ds to live forever. Unfortunately, after the Great War between the G.o.ds, the World Tree was almost destroyed. The source of that life element had dried up.
At that moment, the source had awakened once again. The energy stored in every plant and tree in the world had returned to its original place. In just a short period, the source of the life element had expanded to the extent comparable to the other six fundamental origins—vast and endless.
Plants could be seen everywhere in that world. Although each plant contained very little life force, when all the life elements of a world as a whole gathered, the power was infinite. As the source of the life element took shape, the flowers, plants, and trees that had just contributed their magic were all fed back and fused together. A purer life force was transmitted into the flowers, plants, and trees through the void to let them grow more luxuriously.

At the Moon Well is in the Forest of Eternity…
As usual, Vivian combed her hair as she looked at the Spring of Life in the Moon Well. Looking at her blurry figure reflected in the Moon Well, she could not help but stop and sigh.
“The Elven king did not listen to my advice. He took the Elven army with him. He even took the dragons and the water from the Spring of Life in the Elven kingdom. He almost made the well dry up. He has been blinded by hatred.
“It’s a pity. The water taken away from the Moon Well will take hundreds of years to recover. In order to avenge himself, countless soldiers of the Elven kingdom have been destroyed by the flames of war. Who knows how many innocent lives will be lost in the battle. Is it really worth it?”
Vivian sighed. Although it was a question, she already had the answer in her heart. It was not worth it.
In the past, like the Elf King, she did not have a good impression of humans and kingdoms other than the Elven Kingdom. Well, until she met Antonio. That man had taught her that people of different races could understand each other and had a better feeling than hatred—love.
Vivian sighed as she recalled Antonio. At the moment, she was bound by special chains and could not leave the Moon Well. If the Elven king had not tied her there before he left, she would leave the Forest of Eternity at all costs and go to the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Even if she had to look at Antonio before the war destroyed everything, there was nothing for her to protect here.
Just as she was thinking about it, an invisible wave suddenly came out of the air. The wave made her look up subconsciously. She saw that in the deepest part of the Forest of Eternity where she was, the gra.s.s on the ground was shaking, the air seemed to be filled with laughter. The water of the Spring of Life in the Moon Well, which had already dried up, suddenly began to overflow at the speed of a well.
The water of the Spring of Life rushed out of the Moon Well and sprinkled on the gra.s.s, causing the gra.s.s, which was already shaking, to grow rapidly. The quality of the gra.s.s also increased. That gra.s.s was originally just ordinary gra.s.s, but under the irrigation of the water from the Spring of Life, it was upgraded to iron-tier and then to silver-tier before it reached gold-tier. However, that was not the end.
Some of the gra.s.s was of particularly high quality. The roots were entangled together and turned into human legs. They began to pull out the soil and run on the ground, along with some trees nearby. Vivian was stunned by that scene.
The trees and gra.s.s began to run with self-awareness. The Spring of Life in the well was so abundant that it turned into a fountain. The water soon filled the gra.s.s where she was and flowed in a more distant direction. It seemed to flow through the entire Forest of Eternity.

At the floating city.
“Your Highness, the carriage is ready. We have bought all the things we need to go out. We can set off immediately.”
Not far from the floating city, near the lakeside, two mermaid guards asked for instructions from the young Alice. A carriage was parked not far from them.
Although they were called Mermaid Guards, the two mermaids looked like humans. They had used the spell that Watson had taught them to transform into humans. Even the strongest mage in the kingdom could not see through them.
Similarly, Alice had also been transformed into a human with magic. At that moment, she was wearing a white one-piece dress and a sun hat. Her smooth calves stepped on the hard ground without any discomfort.
Hearing the words of the two guards, Alice looked at the sparkling lake and out at the distant sea. There was a hint of reluctance in her eyes. In the end, she gritted her teeth and made up her mind to walk in the direction of the carriage.
“Let’s go.”
“Wait, look at the lake.”
Just as Alice was about to get on the carriage, the two guards saw something and suddenly cried out in surprise, stopping her.
Following the direction of the voice, Alice looked over and immediately widened her eyes. The huge lake seemed to be boiling. Fish of different colors and species jumped out of the water. Upon closer inspection, it was not the fish that flew out of the water. Instead, it was the kelp-like vines that grew rapidly under the ocean, pus.h.i.+ng the fish out.
“What’s going on?”
“Why is the seaweed suddenly expanding like crazy? My boat is entangled.”
In the lake, many fishermen were on their boats. They looked surprised when they saw the seaweed moving beside them. Some of them tried to push the seaweed that was entangled on their boat. However, they soon realized that the seaweed was as hard as iron and gave off an extraordinary aura.
“Lady Alice, the seaweed is giving off a strong aura and is evolving rapidly. Some of them have even turned into silver or even gold-tier medicinal herbs. That is too amazing.”
The two mermaid guards cried out in surprise. If they did not want to protect Alice, they would have jumped into the river to see how the seaweed was changing.
“How could those aquatic plants suddenly grow for no reason and burst out with a powerful aura? Has something changed in the lake? Was it Brother Watson?”
Alice did not sigh. Instead, she cast her gaze in the direction of the kingdom in the distance.
..
At the Holy Dragon Kingdom in the capital.
“I heard that Watson was held back in the Dragon Lair. Isn’t King Landhar III going to be worried? However, I think King Landhar III has nothing to worry about. Even if Watson helped the dragons to create something, he is still our kingdom’s genius. When he returns, just let him create something even more powerful. Furthermore, Watson was only there for one day. What can he create in one day?”
In a certain place in the royal palace, Sidi was holding bottles and jars in her hands. She was adjusting some kind of potion and mocking Watson at the same time.
In the bottles and jars in front of her, the pitch-black potion was in a sticky state and was constantly squirming. That potion was the potion that could help the G.o.ds descend to the mortal realm. She had made that potion at the request of King Landhar III, who had brought back a corpse and said that it could be used as a vessel for the G.o.ds. Therefore, she knew some things about Watson.
“This potion is almost ready.”
Picking up a bottle, Sidi waved and nodded in satisfaction. At that moment, a thick breath of life suddenly appeared in the air. A faint green light flashed in the distant sky. Although the light was dim, it was reflected in Sidi’s eyes, causing her to widen her eyes and raise her head.
“That is the smell of the life element source.. There is a source of life-elemental magic in the world? That element had dried up tens of thousands of years ago. Why would it reappear? What is going on?”
