Chapter 413: Lord of Coral, Secret of the Mystic Realm (3)
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
[In the vast and ancient Coral Palace, the Lord of the Coral, who had existed for an unknown period of time, possessed formidable magical attack powers.] This sea sovereign was none other than the ruler of the Coral Palace, the Lord of the Coral.
As Ji Chen had previously speculated, she was a Red-Legacy Tier monster leader unit.
The Coral Lord, Sonia, approached with a smiling face.
“Your Excellency, you don’t seem surprised, do you? After all, the Lord of the Coral is… in human terms, a weak woman?”
Ji Chen replied calmly, “1 do not judge a person or creature solely by appearance. Besides, looking weak doesn’t necessarily mean being weak in power. Just like Alice and Anina, they are all strong in their own right.”
Sonya nodded in agreement. She could feel the immense power emanating from the two sea races outside, which exceeded the capabilities of any leaders she had under her control.
“If that’s the case, then I may have been a bit narrow-minded.”
Sonia lightly lifted her skirt with both hands, performing a gesture only n.o.ble human women would use.
“Perhaps Your Excellency has already noticed why, deep beneath the sea, within the Coral Palace, there are so many things and customs related to humans.
Just like the human saying, ‘Drawing a snake and adding legs…’ well, that should be the phrase.
In fact, this world was originally completely dominated by humans. In that era, the sea clans were just a weak race that survived on sc.r.a.ps, thanks to the pity of the prosperous human civilization.”
Sonia calmly revealed the ancient secrets hidden in this realm.
Ji Chen raised an eyebrow, feeling a great deal of interest.
“Your Excellency, if you don’t mind, please sit down and listen to my story.”
Ji Chen nodded slightly and sat on a coral chair, just as if they were on land.
Sonia’s eyes filled with nostalgia. “Back then, they sat across from me like this.” Before Ji Chen could ask who “they” were, she began to narrate.
Thousands of years ago, most of this realm was still land. The human civilization that emerged was incredibly prosperous, and they even used alchemical technology to create portals connecting to a much wider world outside.
At that time, the sea clans were just a weak race that had flowed in from the outside world.
Then something terrible seemed to have happened in the outside world, and the human civilization within the realm voluntarily closed the portals.
But for some unknown reason, as the last portal was completely closed, the sea level began to rise wildly, submerging the harbors, farmlands, and homes.
Over a thousand years pa.s.sed, and the sea had already submerged more than one-third of the land.
It was at this point that the humans in the realm realized that civilization had gradually developed underwater, but the sea clans were still naive and weak. Perhaps considering the ongoing rise of the sea in the future, they decided to nurture these sea clans to become loyal servants so that they could continue to obtain resources for survival in the ocean after the water levels rose.
Indeed, they did contribute to the development of the sea clans. Through their retrieval of lost technology and resources from the ocean, they once again achieved the prosperity of their heyday.
Their proudest and most powerful sea clan servants were one called the Dragon King and another named Coral.
However, the good times didn’t last long, as the rate of sea level rise far exceeded their expectations.
The sea gradually submerged half of the land, and during this process, the sea clans, which had been artificially nurtured, had gained enough living s.p.a.ce. They no longer needed the a.s.sistance of humans and could live freely on their own.
As a result, more and more sea clans no longer obeyed humans and instead spread throughout the ocean, evolving into various sea clan divisions.
“At the same time, due to humans becoming increasingly greedy for resources, the loyal Dragon King and Coral also chose to leave. They each went to opposite ends of the Great Luminescent Sea and used their power to establish their own divisons, gathering sea clans.”
Listening to this, Ji Chen had already understood what Sonia meant by the Dragon King and Coral establishing tribes.
The Dragon King founded Dragon King City and called himself the Water Dragon King.
Coral established Coral Palace and claimed to be the Lord of the Coral..
