WTYTIAAN Chapter 188

Chapter 188

In essence, there isn’t much difference between the alien races and the human race. However, compared to humans, alien races are born with stronger racial talents, and their lifespans vary. Powerful and long-lived alien races are correspondingly less prolific in producing offspring than humans, and alien races rarely have the idea of unifying the continent.

They seem to be inherently uninterested in the lives and deaths of beings not of their own race.

This seems to be ingrained in the genes of the alien races from the very beginning. This is also why the Eternal Empire, managed by only a few alien races after the Demon King disappeared, quickly disintegrated and was eventually destroyed by the two great empires.

It seems like some unspeakable world rule.

After all, with the innate power and longevity of the alien races, if the alien races were determined to unify the continent, it would be difficult for humans to have room to survive.

The mermaid prince was like that. His martial prowess was very strong. In his prime, he was as famous as the Archangel Theodore and the Dragon King Seraphis, and was one of the three strongest combatants in the Demon King’s team.

The Dragon King fell in the final battle with the God of Light, and the mermaid was seriously injured.

The Demon King defeated and killed the God of Light at a painful price.

Later, when facing Qi’en’s final counterattack, the mermaid almost fell, and the archangel was seriously injured.

When the Demon King established the Eternal Empire, the mermaid’s injuries were already very serious, and the mermaid eventually fell in the fifth year after the establishment of the Eternal Empire.

Before his death, the mermaid chose a branch of the mermaid bloodline from the collateral line to become the royal family of the Sea Clan at that time, and re-signed a contract with the Demon King in his place.

Before the final battle, the Dragon King’s children, Isabel and Divic, also signed a familiar contract with the Demon King.

These were the only two UR cards that Yan Yunqing tore up before quitting the game, and Yan Yunqing had a deep impression of them.

Now, Isabel already has some of the heroic bearing of the Dragon King Seraphis back then, but the royal family branch chosen by another old friend was killed by a mixed-blood mermaid, which made Yan Yunqing feel a little emotional.

Yan Yunqing exchanged glances with Merlin for a moment, reading some of the same emotions from the other’s eyes, and Yan Yunqing suddenly understood.

“So, Cornelia killed the current mermaid royal family?” Yan Yunqing asked curiously, “I remember her level—isn’t it very high? How could the mermaid royal family be killed by a mixed-blood mermaid?”

Even after so long, Yan Yunqing had not forgotten that after he finally escaped from the Augreir Auction House with two ‘burdens’, he turned around and found that one was level 45 and the other was level 60.

And he, a poor, weak, and helpless level 1 Demon King, dragged two big shots out of the auction house.

Yan Yunqing couldn’t help but sigh when he thought of this.

But Cornelia was only level 60, and Yan Yunqing was now level 74. He naturally had a concept of level 60 strength, which was very strong—among ordinary people.

But facing alien races, especially the royal family of the Sea Clan, it was still not enough. The mermaid royal family couldn’t possibly not even have a guard, right?

“Too much time has passed.” Merlin shook his head, implying something, “The mermaid prince chose not the strongest branch of the Sea Clan to become the royal family, but the most loyal to the Eternal Lord.”

“Perhaps because of this, two forces formed in the mermaid clan, one is the elder branch with stronger power, and the other is the royal family that was chosen by the mermaid prince and has more authority to control the sea clan… The one that the mixed-blood mermaid killed was this royal family.”

“Although they controlled the Sea Clan, their strength was indeed not very good, the highest was only level 90… It seems to be the mermaid clan chief at the time. It is said that when the mixed-blood mermaid killed the mermaid clan chief, she also used a secret method—killing the opponent at the cost of her own loss, and also dropped a lot of levels because of this.”

Merlin shrugged, “But it’s all rumors, I didn’t bother to inquire carefully.”

The three strongest races in the past, one has long been living in seclusion on the Floating Island, one has ended its era and disintegrated internally, and the Dragon Clan is not doing much better. Although they have all returned to Dragon Valley, they have been secretly besieged for hundreds of years because of the special effect of dragon bones.

Unbeknownst to them, countless dragons have been surrounded, killed, skinned, and had their flesh eaten away by the rats in the sewers of the Eternal Divine Sect.

Yan Yunqing listened to the gossip Merlin told him, and his brows couldn’t hide his surprise, “…That sister Cornelia said she was looking for?”

Merlin recalled for a moment and told Yan Yunqing with certainty, “If the sister Cornelia told you is correct, she should be talking about the mermaid princess who grew up with her.”

“The mermaid king who was killed was a philanderer, and he had several lovers, including humans—the Cornelia you mentioned is the one left behind by the mermaid king and a human.”

“She said that she grew up together and is about to inherit the mermaid clan to become the next king, then it can only be that mermaid princess. It is rumored that her personality is strange and tyrannical…”

Merlin gave Yan Yunqing a look, and Yan Yunqing was dazed.

Ah? Is the description of sister also a lie Cornelia told him? No, which sentence Cornelia said is actually true?

That’s not right…

According to this meaning, Yan Yunqing was surprised: “So the sister Cornelia is looking for was actually killed by herself?”

He could indeed see that Cornelia was hiding things from him, but Yan Yunqing could clearly feel the emotions Cornelia revealed—they didn’t seem fake.

“Why did Cornelia kill the royal family branch?” Yan Yunqing asked curiously.

“I don’t know about this.” Merlin said, “After all, it’s this kind of thing.”

That’s right, after all, the royal family was killed by a mixed-blood, which is also a kind of shame for the mermaid clan itself, right?

Yan Yunqing sighed, and the gossip stopped abruptly in the middle. He was a little depressed.

But this has nothing to do with him. Although the Demon King later signed a contract with the mermaid king who was later selected, that mermaid had already died, and the contract lost its effect accordingly. The Sea Clan can’t even be considered the Demon King’s dependents now.

Not to mention that Yan Yunqing is no longer the Demon King.

“Okay, what did you mean by the strange player, the Sky Descender, you told me before?” Yan Yunqing was melancholy for two or three seconds, and then cheered up again, “If you are talking about the Sky Descenders who are eager to see your pants or drag you to take over downstream merchant orders, then I will leave.”

“Of course not.” Merlin denied, “The Sky Descenders are not eager to see my pants, and it wasn’t me who had my pants pulled off before!”

Yan Yunqing looked at him with a ‘really? I don’t believe it’ look, and Merlin was a little bit broken.

So why are those Sky Descenders so fond of his pants?!

Merlin wanted to question him, but for the sake of his persona, he still held back. He flipped through the parchment on the table and found one and put it in front of Yan Yunqing, “Of course, it’s not those Sky Descenders who insist on me taking orders and enthusiastically mining for me, it’s this.”

Yan Yunqing took the parchment and looked at it. It was written in Ancient Ermann language with a string of characters. For Yan Yunqing, who came with a built-in translator, he recognized the meaning of these characters at a glance.

With just one glance, Yan Yunqing couldn’t help but twitch his eyebrows.

No other reason, because this parchment was written with complex and formal floral Ancient Ermann characters, each with a game ID, [Calamity] [Don’t Eat Chocolate] [Irie] [Slug’s Aonori Carpaccio] [MistyWon]…

Yan Yunqing: …

There is a feeling that it is very formal but actually very large.

He knew that these were the strange players in Merlin’s mouth, but with just these names, how could Yan Yunqing see where they were strange?

Yan Yunqing put down the parchment and asked directly: “So, what’s so special about them?”

Merlin stroked his beard, “I don’t know either.”

Yan Yunqing: ?

But Merlin then said: “But they gave me a feeling of being very orderly.”

Yan Yunqing: ???

What kind of adjective is this?

“They have an aura, which can be inadvertently revealed between walking, and they are very orderly. They are like a small organized and led group.”

“At first, I didn’t notice that these people were scattered.” Merlin said, “But this time, many new Sky Descenders have been added, and many people like them have gathered together, which has attracted my attention.”

Yan Yunqing listened to this description and hesitated a little.

This adjective sounds a bit familiar…

Very orderly, organized and led, and with an aura that is different from other players…

“Speaking of which, they look more imposing than some royal city guards.”

Yan Yunqing blinked and a possibility emerged in his heart.

…Uh, official people?

Or, the army?

As soon as this thought came up, Yan Yunqing couldn’t help but touch his chin, feeling that this guess was very possible.

What kind of game is “The Road Home”?

A large-scale, epoch-making, holographic online game.

The word holographic alone is enough to cause a sensation around the world, not to mention that the world of Ermann itself is an extremely real world—or it is a real world.

In such a world, the impact that such vivid NPCs can bring to players can be imagined. Yan Yunqing has browsed the forum and can learn some from the players’ words and phrases. The so-called Blue Star outside is indeed similar to the Blue Star technology tree where he used to be.

It is likely to be the same Blue Star.

In this way, the launch of a holographic game cannot but attract the attention of the national fathers, especially since this game company is obviously very problematic——

If the Return Journey game company, as Yan Yunqing guessed, is able to manipulate and influence this world to some extent, then they are definitely not an ordinary game company.

It is estimated that both the company and the game are illegal. This kind of thing is not allowed in the Flower Country where Yan Yunqing used to be.

God knows that the police station has monthly ‘preventing telecommunications fraud’ tasks! This kind of holographic game that looks very illegal and is very likely to be fraudulent and exaggerated would probably have their home raided by the cyber police as soon as the initial publicity started.

But Yan Yunqing has seen the posts on the forum. This game became inexplicably popular when it was just a simple webpage. Yan Yunqing believes that as soon as they see the word holographic, some clever internet police officers will attack. Regardless of whether it is true or not, they will report it first to try it out, right?

However, the national fathers did not respond at all.

——This is the feedback given by the forum. They actually allowed a game with obvious three-no’s, bearing the name of holographic, and even not knowing whether the game helmet contained a brain microwave oven device, to launch internal testing!

Yan Yunqing was still thinking before that this was not right. When did the national fathers react so slowly? Was it because this return journey used some special method to shield the national fathers?

Now, looking at these special players, Yan Yunqing couldn’t help but be speechless.

The national fathers are still your fathers. As expected, they acted silently. They were able to have their people in the first batch of internal test registrations opened at dawn. It can be imagined how many national fathers there will be among these second batch of seven thousand players.

But……

Since the national fathers have arranged for people to enter the game, presumably there are also actions outside. It is impossible to let ordinary people log in to an unknown and potentially problematic holographic game at will…

Yan Yunqing believes that with the strength of the national fathers, it is still very simple to block information, but the return journey is still popular on the forum…

Is it because they can’t block the information of the return journey?
