Chu Tian also rolled his eyes, but an idea sprouted in his mind.
"This coffin can heal injuries?" His eyes also showed a flicker of hope.
"This is one of the three treasures of the Underworld! The Underworld Throne, the Underworld Armor, and the Underworld Coffin!
And the Underworld Coffin, although it is the last of the three, possesses a heaven-defying effect..."
Chu Tian's mother, already pushing the father and son to the side of the coffin.
"What effect?" Chu Tian pressed.
"It's like a woman's womb! As long as the soul remains..." Chu Tian's mother said awkwardly.
"Ah?"
Wei Du, Little Dragon Girl, the Merman King, and Princess Xing'er also gathered around.
Hearing Chu Tian's question, everyone was curious.
Suddenly hearing Chu Tian's mother's words, everyone simultaneously exclaimed in surprise and disbelief.
"Holy shit... Jiu'er, are you serious? You want me to be remolded?" Chu Xinghe exclaimed in shock.
"Who are you calling 'dad'?" Jiu'er glared at Chu Xinghe.
"Uh..." The arrogant man instantly deflated.
Chu Tian, having heard his mother's words, had already rushed to the side of the coffin.
He poured all his strength into it, even using the Resonance of Power.
Yet, he couldn't budge the coffin lid.
"It doesn't open like that..." Chu Tian's mother quickly stopped him.
"Then how do I open it?" Chu Tian asked urgently.
"Throw 3,000 living souls and 3,000 flesh into the coffin opening, and only then can it be opened!" The Underworld Lord said these words, and everyone stirred.
3,000 living souls and 3,000 flesh were not a small number.
"Are there any restrictions on these living souls and flesh?"
Chu Tian's eyes lit up.
"Using the living souls and flesh of ordinary human beings as the measurement!"
Chu Tian's mother frowned, thought for a moment, and spoke again.
Then, would the souls and flesh of cultivated beings beneath the ocean be more powerful than those of ordinary people?
"That's not necessarily true... Humans are the head of all spirits. Cultivated beings may not have wisdom, which means their soul power is insufficient!"
The Underworld Lord stated frankly, though it sounded a bit discriminatory towards other beings.
However, the mermen who heard this showed no displeasure.
Even Little Dragon Girl nodded.
"So if the quality isn't good, it's just that? If the quality isn't good, can quantity make up for it?" Chu Tian frowned.
He stared at his mother. If she said no.
If it weren't for Chu Tian, he would go on a killing spree.
In the human world, there were many people who deserved to die.
If these people were gathered, not to mention 3,000, even 30 million could be gathered.
"Yes..."
As soon as these two words were spoken, Chu Tian's eyes lit up instantly.
"Devouring Dragon... spit out what you swallowed before!"
Chu Tian tapped his abdomen, and a loach appeared before everyone's eyes.
The miniature Devouring Dragon, hearing Chu Tian's words, immediately looked pitiful.
"I... I finally ate so much..." It was reluctant.
"Stop spouting nonsense!" Chu Tian smacked it to the ground.
Previously, the vanguard of the twelve sea tribes were all shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
But their numbers were far more than 3,000.
This fellow had swallowed them all in one gulp.
When it returned to Chu Tian's side, it boasted.
"There's plenty of stock in my belly, I'll raise them there first; it'll be enough to digest for half a year to a year!"
Chu Tian remembered these words.
It turned out that the vast amount of food this fellow had eaten could not be digested all at once.
It still needed to be kept in its belly for nurturing.
If not now, when else would Chu Tian ask it to spit them out?
"Roar..." This ancient Devouring Dragon, one of the ancestral dragons.
It let out such a grievance-filled sound.
It made as if to open its mouth.
*Smack...*
"You over there!" Chu Tian slapped it again.
Then he pointed to the front of the skull-shaped coffin.
There, the skull's head was gaping with a massive mouth.
The Devouring Dragon dared not speak, its body twisting.
It moved to the front of the skull, its body not growing larger.
It simply opened its mouth.
Countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals, like a flood.
They surged directly into the skull's cavernous maw.
*Buzz...*
As these shrimp soldiers and crab generals, wailing, rushed into the giant mouth.
The Underworld Jade Skull Coffin gradually emitted a dark, black radiance.
*Creak...*
With a faint creaking sound.
Chu Tian found that the coffin lid, which he couldn't budge no matter how hard he tried, was slightly ajar by a seam.
However, it only managed to open a seam and then stopped moving.
Just as Chu Tian was wondering, he turned his head and saw that the Devouring Dragon had closed its mouth.
"Spit it out..." Chu Tian urged.
"Didn't it open?" The Devouring Dragon muttered pitifully.
"Stop spewing nonsense! If you don't open this coffin for me, believe it or not, I'll throw you in as flesh and blood?"
Chu Tian's eyebrows shot up. His father's aura was gradually fading.
This fellow was still causing trouble for him.
The Devouring Dragon shivered at Chu Tian's expression.
It dared not argue further.
It knew Chu Tian might genuinely do it.
Chu Tian's eyes were bloodshot.
He truly had the urge to throw this Devouring Dragon into the maw of the skull if words failed.
As the Devouring Dragon continued to spew out shrimp soldiers, crab generals, and other undersea creatures.
The amount far exceeded the 3,000 flesh and 3,000 living souls.
Even the heavens were surprised; the quantity seemed to be tens of thousands, yet it hadn't finished spitting.
He didn't know that after the seawater receded, those sea creatures that had followed the King of the Giant Tooth Shark.
Had all been stealthily devoured by this fellow.
The coffin lid gradually opened, wide enough for one person to enter.
"It's enough..."
Chu Tian's mother finally spoke.
"It's fine as long as it can open?" Chu Tian asked.
"Yes... At least it can save his life!" the Underworld Lord nodded.
Chu Tian also nodded.
He reached out to help Chu Xinghe.
At this moment, Chu Xinghe, separated from Chu Tian's treatment, was already extremely weak.
His face was ashen, and he could no longer speak.
With the help of everyone, Chu Xinghe was finally sent into the entrance of the coffin, which was more than a foot wide.
"Jiu'er..."
Chu Xinghe had almost lost consciousness, but at the last moment, he called out these two words.
"Xinghe, lie down obediently. We will see each other again soon!" The Underworld Lord took his hand.
"Remember to find our son!" Chu Xinghe uttered his last words intermittently.
Chu Tian, standing nearby, was stunned.
Isn't Dad right here?
After Chu Xinghe was completely inside, there was a creaking sound. The lid, which had only opened a foot wide, closed again.
"His soul is about to dissipate, and his memory is also regressing!"
Seeing Chu Tian frozen, Chu Tian's mother explained.
"Uh..." Chu Tian scratched his head.
He hadn't expected his father to be by his side for so long.
The belated Chu Tian was the last to know.
And due to his own recklessness, he almost killed him.
"How long will it take for him to come out?" Chu Tian looked at the closed coffin.
When he asked this, the Underworld Lord also shook her head.
Indicating she wasn't quite sure...
Although he didn't get a definite answer, a great weight was lifted from Chu Tian's heart.
"Mom, why are you in this form?" Only now did he have the time to ask.
"Oh no... it's almost time, I have to leave quickly!"
A hint of panic flashed in the Underworld Lord's eyes.
"Ah?" Chu Tian questioned.
"I can't talk anymore, son. Treat your three girlfriends well!"
