Chapter 842:I Will Rebuild the Oceanic Divine Lineage
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“d.a.m.n! I won’t believe it if you told me Big Boss Ji Chen had no special dealings with the Elven Divine Lineage! To have the Elven Divine Lineage send troops down like this, standing up for him so domineeringly, this is just too cool!”
“I’ve long heard that Big Boss Ji Chen has some indescribable relationship with the Elven Empire’s Queen, Laphia. Now, the answer is clear as day; it must be the Elven Queen who reported to the Elven Divine Lineage, asking them to protect the Crown of the Ocean! (Confidently)”
“But I heard it was with the Elven Empire’s High Priestess, Herli? (Soybean question mark)”
“Why can’t it be both? (Squinting) Maybe there’s also a connection with some deity of the Elven Divine Lineage. Geez, Big Boss Ji Chen really knows how to live off the powerful.”
“I guess the Oceanic Divine Realm army’s faces must be black as charcoal by now. After all, they’re the divine realm’s army. How could they tolerate being scolded without any respect like this? If they were to back down now, it would be an embarra.s.sment.”
As the players guessed, the face of the Oceanic Divine Realm’s commander turned as black as charcoal, his body trembling with anger. Since becoming the commander, he couldn’t recall how many years it had been since anyone dared to ignore and slander him like this, and yet, the person slandering him belonged to the Elven Divine Lineage.
Now, he had finally recognized her; this divine Elven was none other than Penelope, the chief bodyguard of the Elven Divine Lineage’s core G.o.d—Eluvita.
She was one of the most powerful demiG.o.ds among the many divine lineages, even capable of rivaling some of the weaker Lesser G.o.ds!
And for such a demiG.o.d, who served the Elven Mother G.o.ddess, to suppress her power and come here, didn’t this signify the will of the Elven Mother G.o.ddess?
Penelope, looking at the drastically changing expression of the Oceanic Divine Realm’s commander, arrogantly put her hands on her hips and tilted her head, saying,
“What, you have an objection?”
The Oceanic Divine Realm’s commander’s mouth twitched. He heard that the Elven Divine Lineage, relying on their powerful strength, was very arrogant. Now, seeing it with his own eyes, he realized the rumors were true.
He forced a smile, “Lady Penelope, this person is not an Elven, and his G.o.dhood is also a position within the Oceanic Divine Lineage. How could you say that he belongs to your Elven Divine Lineage? Could you be mistaken?”
“There’s no mistake. Can’t humans join the Elven Divine Lineage? If your own Oceanic Divine Lineage doesn’t cherish such a divine seed, then don’t blame our Elven Divine Lineage for stepping in,” Penelope said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
“I’ll make it clear here, we in the Elven Divine Lineage are protecting Ji Chen. Stop talking so much. If you want to fight, then let’s start. If not, then scram.” “Elven Divine Lineage’s divine realm army, enter combat mode.”
At her command, the Elven Divine Realm army raised their spears, nocked their arrows, and with a stern expression, took up a stance as if ready to charge.
This caused the Oceanic Divine Realm army to immediately stir, panic-stricken eyes turning to their commander.
The commander’s expression darkened, knowing that this time, they couldn’t deal with Ji Chen. Finally, through gritted teeth, he squeezed out a sentence.
“Let’s go.”
The Oceanic Divine Realm army breathed a sigh of relief, quickly following their commander to leave, carrying a bit of dishevelment and panic as they disappeared into the horizon.
They had arrived with such momentum and murderous aura, yet now they left like beaten dogs, sneaking away.
Ji Chen, watching them disappear from sight, turned his attention to Penelope.
“Come with me.”
Ji Chen was clearly not even a demiG.o.d, yet he spoke to her like he was her superior. Penelope couldn’t help but pout.
But for the sake of drawing him into the Elven Divine Lineage, she decided to endure it for now. Who knows, maybe in the future, he really would become her superior.
Penelope ordered the divine realm’s army to stand guard outside, and then, under the watchful eyes of many, she followed Ji Chen into the lord’s castle.
“Chang Wei, are you still saying he has no connection with the Elven Divine Lineage?”
“Based on the description, the one commanding the Elven Divine Realm army doesn’t seem like just any ordinary Elven. Even the commander of the Oceanic Divine Realm army almost had fear written all over his face. Does anyone know who she is?”
“According to observations by players on-site, the appearance and behavior of this Elven commander share a seventy percent similarity with the chief bodyguard, Penelope, who serves beside the Elven Mother G.o.ddess Eluvita in the legends. And according to the records, her strength is that of a demiG.o.d.” “Well, a demiG.o.d has come to stand for the Crown of the Ocean, and the importance of this cannot be understated. This almost certainly means that Eluvita has designated Ji Chen for protection, right?”
“I’m envious. The main G.o.d of the Elven Divine Lineage personally protecting a human, dying would be difficult for him now. Should we quickly latch onto his coattails? Once Lord Ji Chen ascends to G.o.dhood, we too will rise to glory and celebrate together.”
As the players were discussing fervently, Penelope followed Ji Chen into the castle, glancing at the meticulously cared-for garden and the rather imposing tower with a slight turn of her head.
This was also her first time coming to the core of the Crown of the Ocean, but she didn’t feel much surprise. The Elven Divine Realm had buildings that were much more luxurious, delicate, and grand. Having seen the majestic buildings forged by divine power, only the wonders within the Crown of the Ocean could catch her attention.
The two sat down, one after the other.
“Lord Ji Chen, I wonder if you are willing to consider what I just mentioned?”
“What?”
“You should already know. Our G.o.d had long antic.i.p.ated this behavior from the Oceanic deities and had instructed me to bring the divine realm’s army to this world in advance, lurking around the Crown of the Ocean to prepare and protect you from persecution..”
