The Journey of Overthrowing the Celestial Emperor
Ch. 125 ~ Make Subordinate
Zhang Ziyi frowned, seeing so many grimacing souls. Requesting demands to the king of the mermaid race. It was as if these people had a grudge against Yu Tie which made them unsettled. The souls themselves were in brackets within the rock that was bound by a chain of light blue-colored energy. Even so, a ringing cry was still heard, so horrified as it greeted the ears.
Zhang Ziyi chose not to ask about it. He focused on walking following the Mermaid King. To his right was Laohu, and Yu Ren Lan to his left.
The rocks wrapped around the blue lighted energy chain were not just one, but there were several scattered in different places. The rocks in the place itself were quite numerous.
They passed through the rocks. Following a fairly large road, where on the side of the road, there are rocks on the right and left.
How long, the king of the mermaid race stopped right on a stage that was the size of an adult's one inch tall. Then the Mermaid Race King told Zhang Ziyi to come closer to him.
Without resisting, Zhang Ziyi swam beside King Yu Tie.
"You're going to train here for the next few weeks. The opponents you will face will be very strong. His strength was equivalent to that of a Demon God." King Yu Tie held onto Zhang Ziyi's back. Next he also told Zhang Ziyi related to the origin of the Monster that would later become his opponent.
His name was Monster Evil Octopus. This monster was one of the sea monsters that came from the Upper realms. However, due to something, so he was thrown in this middle realm.
Monster Evil Octopus was about to return to the Upper realms. Therefore, he reassembled his weakened Strength by absorbing the souls of the Mermaid race members.
Of course it makes the Mermaid Race feel threatened. Until that day, the Evil Octopus Monster came to attack. Resistance happens too.
The Mermaid Race led by King Yu Tie attacked the Evil Octopus Monster. But they were no match for this monster. Although his strength had been reduced, yet this Monster still could not be defeated.
Successfully drove out the Evil Octopus monster, but the mermaid race suffered such a huge loss. Many members of the mermaid race died in that fight. Their souls are eaten by the Monster.
"That is why so many curious souls are confined to those rocks?" Yu Ren Lan asked. He himself that day was not in the field, because he was carrying out the duties of King Yu Tie. And after he returned, he had found the kingdom in mourning.
"No! Regarding the stones, the story is different again!" Yu Xiao answered Yu Ren Lan's question.
Although this Yu Ren Lan was part of the underwater kingdom, yet she did not know of this place. Because this place is so closed. Very few people know it. Even this was the first time that Yu Ren Lan had come to this place.
"Let me guess! The souls confined in those rocks should be the souls of the mermaid race members who were forced to become strong instantly. In other words, they will be used against the Octopus Evil Monster. But because their bodies are incapable, they die. Unsettled souls will come to light. That's why the souls are in brackets there!" Zhang Ziyi took over the talk. His hand holding his chin for a while signaled he was thinking.
King Yu Tie and Yu Xiao were so shocked to hear Zhang Ziyi's detailed estimation.
"You're very thorough, son!" King Yu Ren Lan praised Zhang Ziyi. There was a bit of worry when I found out that Zhang Ziyi's calculations were so precise and meticulous. Fear of his plan in knowing and ending with what he hoped to be lost just like that.
"Your– estimate is accurate. Because of this Evil Octopus monster that is so powerful, no one from our race can match it. Even with the union it is still difficult to overthrow it. Hence, I took a shortcut by using the members of the Mermaid Race who had high body resistance to gain instant strength. Surely have to go through something painful first, then can get it." The long-term King of the Mermaid Race told me.
Zhang Ziyi nodded. "And you intend to make me the next person after your previous member of– that you sent did not manage to survive the painful process!?" Zhang Ziyi raised next to his brows.
The Mermaid Race King could only smile wryly in response to Zhang Ziyi's question.
"I guessed it! This kid is so smart." Inner King Yu Tie.
"Absolutely. I intend to try–mu for that. But you take it easy. Just so you can survive, then you can get that power. And I can guarantee that once you go through that painful process, then your strength will increase by several times!" King Yu Tie tried to persuade Zhang Ziyi. Inwardly, he was worried if only Zhang Ziyi refused to accept the painful process of gaining instant strength.
Zhang Ziyi did not reply. He looked thoughtful and would occasionally stare at King Yu Tie, who was currently also staring at him expectantly.
"If I agree to it and succeed, maybe my power will increase a lot, and of course my revenge will be carried out faster. But the consequences are quite dangerous and can even threaten my own life! Remembering so many people who tried and ended up dying for nothing." Zhang Ziyi. Thinking of the gains and losses he would receive if he agreed to it.
"You can still tell me to calm down to do that painful process. You think I'm stupid? After the previous many fatalities that died in this process, to the point that their souls came and demanded demands from you! You can still tell me to stay calm to do the process!?"
Zhang Ziyi spoke with high intonation. But not lowering his respectful attitude at all.
Feeling that what Zhang Ziyi was doing had crossed the line, Yu Xiao then unsheathed the sword. But he immediately stopped the action he would do when getting a code from his father.
Sighing for a moment, the Mermaid Race King then replied. "I know, it's not easy. In exchange, if you can get through that process and defeat the Evil Octopus Monster, then I will give you a reward!"
King Yu Tie knew, in the test of obtaining this instant strength, then Zhang Ziyi should be ready to lose his life anytime he let his guard down. But if this child managed to pass through, then Evil Octopus would also be defeated easily. Of course after that, the mermaid race will come back to live in peace.
"Treasure alone is not enough to be rewarded. Given that after successfully passing the test between life and death, I will also be directly faced by a Demon God-powered monster. Surely it must be even greater the reward I get!" zhang Ziyi.
Actually, he had planned it before. Even if King Tie refused his request later, he would still do the test. Because the power he needed right now. In his mind, the stronger he was, the faster he would seek revenge.
"All right! You want what?" asked King Yu Tie.
Zhang Ziyi put up a small ridge. "Make the Mermaid Race my subordinate!"
"What...?"
