Chapter 138 The Snake

Time turned back to when Wei Yuan successfully broke through a layer of the Age of Gods seal using Wuzhiqi's divine power, snatched the prototype of Noah's Ark, and began to rely on unparalleled and solid hatred to guide Gu towards its doom. The leader of the merman race watched Wei Yuan's departing figure and wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his brow.

"Finally gone."

"I thought he was really going to abduct a few young girls. Tsk, not like his ancestor at all. That General Yuan was recorded as being extremely cold and indifferent, with no interest in beauty. His mind was only on the Qin Dynasty and swordsmanship. When he was beheading sea monsters and boiling demon fat, there were quite a few merman girls willing to follow him."

Yes, the goodwill from back then was mainly due to the matchmaking of that human alchemist.

And General Yuan himself had no intention of coercing them.

He also objectively helped them to eliminate the demons that had been threatening the survival of their race.

Of course, the reason he knew this, besides the history books passed down in the clan, was that he found his ancestor's diary from two thousand one hundred years ago while cleaning up the old house. It described in detail how that ancestor wanted to leave with the valiant human general.

Including, but not limited to, ancient and elegant expressions similar to 'The Qin general is so handsome, I want to give birth to fish eggs for him', as well as striking blows to her female friends and various expressions of infatuation.

The merman leader felt his worldview was impacted across two thousand years when he saw that diary.

And he decided that before he died, he would definitely burn his own embarrassing history.

Dying is okay.

Being whipped after death for his descendants to see two thousand years later is not okay!

What was that human saying?

I laugh with my blade against the sky, leaving behind a clear reputation in the world.

However, there's a problem...

General Yuan was almost thirty when he returned from Sakura Island for the first time, and he was still a lonely man. With that kind of personality, would he really have descendants?

The merman leader stroked his chin.

Would he really?!

His barren brain began to ponder this serious question that mixed epistemology and history.

Completely unaware that in another direction, a merman quietly left the tribe, found a secluded place, and then took out a talisman. The talisman had traces of both the Divine Continent talisman system and the Western system, but it was completely different from both.

Because it came from another person.

The one who signed the contract with the merman race back then was not only a general from the Qin Dynasty's Black Ice Terrace. That alchemist who smiled gently and harmlessly secretly found his ancestor and signed a contract with him, not coercing their lineage to do anything difficult.

There was only one request.

When the agreement between the merman race and the Black Ice Terrace took effect.

His lineage would pass the message to Xu Fu.

The merman wrote a line in the human language:

'Yuan of the Black Ice Terrace has descendants and used up the agreement.'

With a wave of his hand, the talisman from the alchemist burned directly, and the light escaped. The merman also felt that an invisible shackle in his soul had left him, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief. His lineage had been imprisoned by that alchemist's technique for generations, unable to get rid of it.

Until he completed this agreement.

He relaxed and turned to leave. Now, he felt that he could pursue the merman he liked. Before this, he had been hesitating whether to leave such a contract and shackle to his descendants. Now he had no more worries, as if he had already seen a beautiful future.

He felt his body getting lighter and lighter.

Eventually, it turned into a pool of foam and disappeared.

Pre-Qin alchemists often had cruel methods, good at killing people invisibly.

And with his soul as a sacrifice, that technique, which had been buried for more than two thousand years, finally took effect and was transmitted to its owner.

………………

While the merman race finally discovered that one of their members was missing and went out to search.

The Lemurian civilization, a relic of the Age of Gods, underwent a change.

Wei Yuan and Wuzhiqi only broke the outermost seal of this relic of the Age of Gods. The inner laws still belonged to the most primordial divine arts, a 'door' that required a pious heart to open, of course, this was referring to entering from the outside.

Wuzhiqi's cudgel was violent and powerful, exuding an aura of kingship.

Not to mention anything else, the aura of this powerhouse of the Age of Gods contained extremely powerful and intense self-awareness.

It could easily awaken other gods of the Age of Gods.

Soon, an aura appeared.

A creature slowly wandered out of the ancient Lemurian relic known as the Garden of Eden.

It was... a snake.

Emitting extremely pure divinity.

It also seemed to be this divinity that was suppressed by the Ming Dynasty fleet in the outside world, and the Rainbow Serpent stone statue, which was worshiped as the sea god by the Australian aborigines, was revived, turning into a hideous and violent terrifying demon god, and then corresponded to the golden-skinned snake of the Garden of Eden.

After a battle, the Australian demon god was devoured.

And the snake, which in the Western pantheon represented temptation, demons, and even, in a sense, the origin of mankind in Western legends, recovered some of its vitality. It slowly stretched its body, and its golden pupils emitted pure power. It turned back to look at the Garden of Eden, and its eyes showed rage and resentment.

Then there was a sense of loss.

Adam and Eve must have died long ago.

It missed its friends, its only two friends, the people who could communicate in the cage of the gods.

They were simple, kind, honest, and reliable. Even it sometimes regretted whether it should have let its friends eat the fruit of wisdom. But soon it felt that it was not wrong. The good and evil that were manipulated like puppets were too ironic. No matter how perfect, they were not as real as humans who knew good and evil and had cognitive and judgment abilities.

Unfortunately, it was impossible to see them again.

Even the humans of the Golden Age, created by God in His own image, were still humans.

Their lifespans could not be as long as those of the gods.

The snake god regretted, and then turned into a surge of anger.

That Creator who thought He controlled everything never imagined that it would return!

It wanted revenge!

It wanted to play with and destroy your religion and faith!

It wanted to take over your divine power!

This snake god, representing wisdom and temptation, had hundreds of thousands of resentments and conspiracies in its heart. Dripping from its teeth were the dirtiest plans. It borrowed the Garden of Eden's method of communication and sent the wrong message to the Cross Church of this era. Those humans would not let go of these inheritances from the Age of Gods.

So it could lure them over.

It could even devour all these so-called angels. It had the qualifications and power to do so.

Because although not entirely, as the source of luring Adam and Eve to eat the fruit of wisdom, it was regarded as the root of sin. Because only by eating that fruit would people have good and evil, and all kinds of sins would appear. And because of this legend, it was actually a component of the complex concept of 'Satan'.

It could drive Satan's divine power to a certain extent.

The snake god thought about how to fight against that Lord. Of course, in order to really lure those celestial masters over, it had to ensure that the Garden of Eden looked safe. It had to withdraw a certain distance, a standard that was suitable for a snake to hunt.

Foolish lambs, wail in the belly of the snake.

Your shepherd will never appear before you.

And the Lord who slaughters the lambs, skins them, and boils their flesh will not save you.

The golden pupils of the snake, representing divinity, became violent and crazy.

Suddenly,

Its movements froze.

It felt like it had lost its power, unable to move, unable to attack, and even unable to think.

The snake god, the side of Satan, the third guest of the Garden of Eden, showed panic in its eyes.

Golden light overflowed.

This meant that its divinity and divine power were being squeezed out by the ocean, being frantically absorbed.

It saw the huge seal that appeared on the bottom of the abyss.

And the tall man sealed within.

The resentment and conspiracy brewing in its heart had not yet appeared, and it was completely drained into a pile of ashes. The golden divinity surged and was absorbed and exhaled. The man in the seal's originally unmoving chest moved slightly.

A breath after who knows how many years.

Even if it was just a prelude to breathing.

It had already caused the ocean to surge, the water to swirl, and the waves to surge, sweeping from this place to the entire world, grandly announcing the glorious return of this king.

This is——

The East Sea!

It is the Lord of all the water veins in the world, Gonggong!

……………………

Back at the museum.

Wei Yuan began to think about how to face Zhu Jiuyin.

After all, he had killed Zhu Jiuyin's only son, no matter what.

While he was having a headache, Wei Yuan saw Feng Siyu, who had failed to cook again and again, but had successfully made charcoal. Seeing the girl hesitating whether to add some cumin powder to the pot of unknown objects and eat it reluctantly, Wei Yuan directly stopped her and gave the girl a violent flick on the forehead.

"You'll eat anything, you'll eat anything. Can you be a little picky?"

The Yu tribe girl covered her forehead, glared at Wei Yuan with tears in her eyes.

Wei Yuan sighed and said, "This thing is obviously inedible. It'll upset your stomach if you eat it."

Feng Siyu muttered, "The Yu tribe doesn't get sick."

"Can't waste it."

Wei Yuan opened his mouth, helpless.

This thing was actually a difference in common sense caused by different structures.

He put on a straight face and said, "Anyway, I said, you can't eat it."

The girl pouted, "Oh..."

Wei Yuan casually stir-fried a portion of fried rice for Feng Siyu. The girl lay on the sofa, her ponytail swaying back and forth, her eyes staring at Wei Yuan's fried rice with a 'bling bling' look, her face full of expressions like 'What is this? Did you use magic?' Wei Yuan had to admit that this kind of pure feedback was very rewarding.

Casually handing the extra-large portion of Yangzhou fried rice to the girl, Wei Yuan thought of Feng Siyu's identity as a Zhu Rong priest and said, "By the way, if you do something you have to do, but it's very uncomfortable, what would you do to feel better?"

Feng Siyu replied without hesitation: "Eat something!"

The corner of Wei Yuan's mouth twitched.

"Well, that's not quite right..."

Feng Siyu thought seriously, her fair hand stubbornly holding the spoon, and waved it heavily.

"It's eating a lot and a lot of delicious things!"

"A lot!"

Very good, you're hopeless.

Zhu Rong is also hopeless.

The corner of Wei Yuan's mouth twitched, and he stopped paying attention to the girl, whose eyes were bright and happy because of a bowl of Yangzhou fried rice. He prepared to go to Zhu Jiuyin, but before leaving, his movements paused, and he still brought something with him, inexplicably.

For example, a large number of modern condiments.

ps: Today's second update... three thousand two hundred words, a little late ~ There is controversy about the snake being equal to Satan, so only the part that represents a certain origin and side is used.

Thanks to This Life Only Doing Myself for the myriad rewards, thank you
