The One-Horned Barbarian Shark Emperor was startled. It sensed that the power of the Eight-Headed Divine Serpent was beyond its ability to resist, and it couldn't help but exclaim:
"Who exactly are you? What do you want?"
With the One-Horned Barbarian Shark Emperor's abilities, it couldn't discern the Eight-Headed Divine Serpent's growth level.
However, it could feel that even though the Eight-Headed Divine Serpent was injured, its strength was far superior to its own.
It was familiar with the surrounding totem kingdoms and had never heard of the Eight-Headed Divine Serpent.
This meant that the Eight-Headed Divine Serpent came from the outside world.
This place was called the Divine Realm of Water by the One-Horned Barbarian Shark Emperor, a dimensional world created by the Undying Dragon God.
The natives here were almost all extraordinary creatures from the ocean.
However, for some unknown reason, there were no dragons here.
This meant that the Eastern Divine Dragon created by the Undying Dragon God had not remained here.
As for the reason, the One-Horned Barbarian Shark Emperor naturally did not know.
It sized up the Eight-Headed Divine Serpent, and it seemed to sense a trace of the Eastern Divine Dragon's bloodline from it.
The Eight-Headed Divine Serpent had no intention of entangling with the One-Horned Barbarian Shark Emperor.
It directly attacked the One-Horned Barbarian Shark Emperor.
As expected, water snakes bit towards the One-Horned Barbarian Shark Emperor.
The One-Horned Barbarian Shark Emperor was suppressed by the Eight-Headed Divine Serpent's divine kingdom and could not dodge the water snakes' attacks.
The water snakes quickly burrowed into the One-Horned Barbarian Shark Emperor's body and parasitized it.
These water snakes were all split from the Eight-Headed Divine Serpent, totaling eight.
Each could exist independently, and if one died, the Eight-Headed Divine Serpent's strength would be further damaged.
The Eight-Headed Divine Serpent's goal was simple: by parasitizing the One-Horned Barbarian Shark Emperor, it could control the entire Barbarian Shark Totem Kingdom and obtain the One-Horned Barbarian Shark Emperor's resources.
At the same time, it could also use the One-Horned Barbarian Shark Emperor's power to recover its own strength.
As expected, its damaged divine personality also parasitized the One-Horned Barbarian Shark Emperor's divine personality, continuously absorbing its power.
By the time Zheng Dong entered the Barbarian Shark Totem Kingdom, the Eight-Headed Divine Serpent had already completed its parasitization.
It had also read the One-Horned Barbarian Shark Emperor's memories and learned about the legend of the Dragon Gate.
If it was true, it wanted to try it out.
Although none of its conditions were met, it possessed part of the Eastern Divine Dragon's bloodline, and perhaps it could obtain some inheritance from the Undying Dragon God.
This way, there was hope for it to break through its realm and perhaps become a ruler.
Of course, the Eight-Headed Divine Serpent itself knew that this was wishful thinking.
But at its level, after years of no progress, even if there was only a one in a billion chance, it would still try.
Therefore, it decided to go to Qianlong Abyss, the possible location of the Dragon Gate, in advance.
Qianlong Abyss was still far from the Barbarian Shark Totem Kingdom, not in the ocean but on an island.
The Eight-Headed Divine Serpent controlled the One-Horned Barbarian Shark Emperor's body and returned to the imperial palace.
According to the One-Horned Barbarian Shark Emperor's plan, it summoned all the One-Horned Barbarian Sharks preparing to ascend the Dragon Gate in advance.
These One-Horned Barbarian Sharks were all bewildered, not knowing why the Eight-Headed Divine Serpent had summoned them.
"Did something happen? The patriarch just told us to cultivate in the relic space, and now he's called us back?" one One-Horned Barbarian Shark asked.
"Perhaps he forgot to tell us something! Hasn't this happened before?"
"I hope so, preferably no war. I don't want to go to war with other totem kingdoms at this time..."
One by one, the One-Horned Barbarian Sharks entered the imperial palace hall and saw the One-Horned Barbarian Shark Emperor.
On the surface, the One-Horned Barbarian Shark Emperor seemed no different.
The Eight-Headed Divine Serpent parasitized it, and even its aura did not change.
"I plan to take you to Qianlong Abyss on Dragon Island in advance!" said the Eight-Headed Divine Serpent controlling the One-Horned Barbarian Shark Emperor.
It brought these One-Horned Barbarian Sharks along simply as pawns to test the dangers of the Dragon Gate.
It did not care whether these One-Horned Barbarian Sharks could obtain the inheritance of the Undying Dragon God.
As soon as it finished speaking, the One-Horned Barbarian Sharks below became excited.
They could go directly without cultivating, was that okay?
Moreover, the Dragon Gate might only appear in Qianlong Abyss, not necessarily there.
"But... Patriarch, aren't we a bit too hasty..." one One-Horned Barbarian Shark said.
Before it could finish, it was suppressed to the ground by the terrifying aura emanating from the One-Horned Barbarian Shark Emperor, trembling.
Seeing this, the other One-Horned Barbarian Sharks obediently shut their mouths.
Then, they followed the Eight-Headed Divine Serpent to Qianlong Abyss on Dragon Island.
The One-Horned Barbarian Shark Emperor possessed an unfinished divine artifact, the Water Burst Shuttle.
The Water Burst Shuttle could not only be used for combat but also for travel.
As expected, the One-Horned Barbarian Shark Emperor, controlled by the Eight-Headed Divine Serpent, activated the Water Burst Shuttle.
The Water Burst Shuttle grew enormous, like an alien warship, emitting a blue light that enveloped all the One-Horned Barbarian Sharks and then shot into the depths of the ocean.
The One-Horned Barbarian Shark Emperor drove the Water Burst Shuttle all the way, bringing numerous One-Horned Barbarian Sharks to Dragon Island.
Dragon Island was the largest island in this异世界, appearing like a continent from afar.
Its area was roughly the same as the original Yanhuang.
From the ocean, one could travel inland on Dragon Island along the river.
It was not until the next day that they arrived on Dragon Island and entered Qianlong Abyss along the great river on the island.
Qianlong Abyss was not very large, but it was very deep.
Its deepest point was even deeper than the sea where the Barbarian Shark Totem Kingdom was located.
Ordinary One-Horned Barbarian Sharks could not dive to the bottom of Qianlong Abyss.
Upon arriving at Qianlong Abyss, the Eight-Headed Divine Serpent ignored the other One-Horned Barbarian Sharks and began to search for surrounding resources and information related to inheritance, controlling the One-Horned Barbarian Shark Emperor.
On the other hand, Zheng Dong had missed the Eight-Headed Divine Serpent.
As soon as the Eight-Headed Divine Serpent left, Zheng Dong entered the One-Horned Barbarian Shark Emperor's imperial palace.
Not seeing the Eight-Headed Divine Serpent, Zheng Dong frowned.
That Eight-Headed Divine Serpent was truly a runner.
Zheng Dong was not in a hurry to chase. Since fate's calculations could deduce the direction and route of the Eight-Headed Divine Serpent's escape, it was only a matter of time before he found it.
Along the way, he had encountered many extraordinary creatures.
Through these extraordinary creatures, Zheng Dong learned a lot of information about this异世界.
He knew that this异世界 was related to the Undying Dragon God.
The Dragon Gate might truly appear.
It was also an opportunity for him.
His pet, Xiao Qing, might be able to ascend the Dragon Gate and obtain the inheritance of the Undying Dragon God.
Xiao Qing was a dragon-attribute creature itself and originally belonged to the Eastern Divine Dragon clan created by the Undying Dragon God. Its chances of obtaining the inheritance were quite high.
However, obtaining this information also took a lot of time, giving the Eight-Headed Divine Serpent an opportunity to escape.
He planned to collect more information about the Undying Dragon God while also pursuing the Eight-Headed Divine Serpent.
Subsequently, he also left the Barbarian Shark Totem Kingdom.
Since the resources of the Barbarian Shark Totem Kingdom had been taken by the Eight-Headed Divine Serpent, Zheng Dong did not want to waste time here.
He followed the direction of the Eight-Headed Divine Serpent's escape and arrived at the adjacent Evil Flood Dragon Totem Kingdom.
The Evil Flood Dragon Totem Kingdom was established by the Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragon, and its territory was much larger than that of the One-Horned Barbarian Shark.
The number of Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragons was large, and they evolved from a type of Ghost-Eyed Maggot. They could not be born directly.
In other words, they could not reproduce.
Even if the Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragon Emperor condensed a divine personality, it could not change this.
As a result, they looked more like insects.
Of course, it wasn't all bad; the chance of Ghost-Eyed Maggots evolving into Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragons was very high.
Basically, for every ten thousand Ghost-Eyed Maggots, one Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragon would evolve.
This made the number of Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragons not less than that of the One-Horned Barbarian Sharks.
In order to give birth to more Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragons.
The Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragon Emperor also specially built Ghost-Eyed Maggot Ponds to cultivate them.
In the enormous ponds, there were countless Ghost-Eyed Maggots.
Every day, Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragons would throw various corpses into them as food for the Ghost-Eyed Maggots.
Even a giant deep-sea dragon whale could be eaten by these Ghost-Eyed Maggots within minutes.
When Zheng Dong entered the territory of the Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragons, he smelled a foul odor.
This smell was emitted by the Ghost-Eyed Maggots.
As a result, many extraordinary creatures avoided the Evil Flood Dragon Totem Kingdom.
Zheng Dong, however, had no intention of bypassing it.
He decided to collect some resources and inquire about the Dragon Gate.
He assumed that the Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragon Emperor would not lack resources.
As one of the strongest extraordinary creatures in this sea area, it should also know a lot of information.
Zheng Dong took the Bloodthirsty Divine Wolf and went directly to the Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragon's imperial palace.
The Bloodthirsty Divine Wolf voluntarily used the power of its divine kingdom to cover the entire imperial palace.
As a result, the guarding Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragons were suppressed by the Bloodthirsty Divine Wolf and did not dare to raise their heads, all crawling on the ground.
Zheng Dong swaggered into the imperial palace and quickly found the Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragon Emperor.
This fellow was also diligent, holding a meeting in the main hall to discuss whether they should send Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragons to ascend the Dragon Gate when it appeared.
"Patriarch, the Undying Dragon God is a legendary existence. No one can confirm if it truly existed. As for the Dragon Gate, no one has ever seen it. Perhaps all of this is unfounded. We have no need to prepare." said a self-righteous Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragon.
The Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragon Emperor glanced at it but said nothing.
Although they had never seen the Undying Dragon God, it still believed that the Undying Dragon God had existed.
Otherwise, who transmitted the information about the world fusion?
Seeing that the Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragon Emperor was not satisfied, another Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragon was about to speak.
However, before it could speak, it heard the main hall door being kicked open.
A beast tamer and a blood wolf walked in.
At this moment, the Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragon Emperor sensed the abnormality of the entire imperial palace.
It looked at Zheng Dong with a solemn expression.
"Who are you? Why have you trespassed into our Evil Flood Dragon Totem Kingdom and what do you want?"
The Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragon Emperor did not dare to attack. It knew that it was no match for Zheng Dong.
Zheng Dong did not waste time with it and directly took out the Chalice of Faith.
He then had the Bloodthirsty Divine Wolf suppress the Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragon Emperor, and he used the Chalice of Faith to control it.
After converting the Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragon Emperor into his believer.
Zheng Dong successfully obtained all the resources of the Evil Flood Dragon Totem Kingdom from the Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragon Emperor.
Most of these resources were water-attribute.
They were very suitable for Xiao Qing's cultivation.
This included the divine-grade resources obtained, Deep Sea Divine Marrow and Abyssal Ice Crystal.
However, unfortunately, the Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragon Emperor did not know much about the Dragon Gate.
"Although I don't know much, I know where the prophecy about the Dragon Gate comes from!" the Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragon Emperor quickly explained.
Zheng Dong said nothing and gestured for it to continue.
"Whether it's the prophecy of world fusion or the prophecy of the Dragon Gate, it should have originally come from the Myriad Dragon Palace."
The Myriad Dragon Palace was one of the most powerful forces in this异世界.
It was an alliance formed by multiple totem kingdoms.
Although it was called the Myriad Dragon Palace, there was not a single Eastern Divine Dragon in these totem kingdoms.
The sea area they were in was not far from Dragon Island.
It was considered to be in the core area of this异世界.
Since Zheng Dong was going to Dragon Island to find the Eight-Headed Divine Serpent, he would naturally pass through this area.
It was a good opportunity to inquire about the origin of the prophecy.
Immediately, Zheng Dong rushed over.
He did not kill the Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragon Emperor but chose to bring it along.
Having one more Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragon Emperor meant one more combat power, which might be useful at a critical moment.
The Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragon Emperor had condensed a divine personality for some time, but it had not grown further, making it difficult to become a mid-level god. Zheng Dong could easily control it and did not need to worry about betrayal.
It would take a considerable amount of time to travel from the Evil Flood Dragon Totem Kingdom to the Myriad Dragon Palace.
It was not until the next day that Zheng Dong arrived at the sea area where the Myriad Dragon Palace was located.
The water energy elements in this sea area were even more concentrated.
The overall strength of the extraordinary creatures living here was stronger than those in the sea areas around the Evil Flood Dragon Totem Kingdom.
In order to collect information about the Myriad Dragon Palace, Zheng Dong used the Chalice of Faith to control multiple extraordinary creatures.
From these extraordinary creatures, he learned that the Myriad Dragon Palace consisted of seven totem kingdoms.
Among them, the strongest totem kingdom was the Dragon Flood Dragon Totem Kingdom, which possessed nine extraordinary creatures that had condensed divine personalities.
Under the leadership of the Dragon Flood Dragon Totem Kingdom, the Myriad Dragon Palace was established, and the patriarchs of these totem kingdoms resided within the Myriad Dragon Palace.
Besides the Myriad Dragon Palace, there was another force, the Dragon God Hall.
The Dragon God Hall was formed by believers who worshipped the Undying Dragon God and possessed forty-eight extraordinary creatures that had condensed divine personalities.
The Myriad Dragon Palace and the Dragon God Hall often clashed, and the two sides frequently fought.
This also led to the extraordinary creatures in this region having to choose between joining the Myriad Dragon Palace or the Dragon God Hall.
Otherwise, they would be caught in the middle and suppressed.
As for all the prophecies, they did not originate from the Myriad Dragon Palace but from the Dragon God Hall.
The information from the Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragon Emperor was incorrect; it had never been to this sea area and had only heard it from others.
Zheng Dong did not mind. Whether it was the Myriad Dragon Palace or the Dragon God Hall, he would get to the bottom of things.
With his current strength, suppressing the Myriad Dragon Palace and the Dragon God Hall would not be difficult.
After all, there were no high-level gods or supreme gods here.
Even the Bloodthirsty Divine Wolf, using its divine kingdom's power, could suppress many extraordinary creatures that had condensed divine personalities.
Therefore, Zheng Dong headed towards the Dragon God Hall with the Bloodthirsty Divine Wolf.
The controller of the Dragon God Hall was called the Grand Priest of the Dragon God, whose strength was quite good, very close to a high-level god.
However, it was only close; it was still a distance away from being a high-level god.
Of course, this was also limited by this异世界.
Now that this异世界 had merged with Blue Star, if given time, it might be able to break through soon.
In addition, it possessed a Dragon Pearl, said to have been left by the Undying Dragon God, which could exert the power of a mid-level divine artifact.
It could easily suppress extraordinary creatures of the level of the Ghost-Eyed Evil Flood Dragon Emperor and the One-Horned Barbarian Shark Emperor.
This was also the reason for the continued existence of the Dragon God Hall.
As Zheng Dong and the Bloodthirsty Divine Wolf were heading towards the Dragon God Hall, the Grand Priest was also carefully contemplating the Dragon Pearl in his hand.
The prophecies regarding world fusion and the Dragon Gate were passed down from generation to generation of Grand Priests, not originating from it.
Moreover, it was said that this Dragon Pearl was a key to obtaining the inheritance of the Undying Dragon God.
