    Chapter Index

    “The Arsu Archipelago is the largest known settlement of the descendants of gods and demons, with fertile land, endless fruit groves, endless beasts to eat, and swarms of sea fish and shrimp.

    “Ruling there are six tribes of the descendants of gods and demons: the descendants of ‘Luan’, the king of the sky, the descendants of ‘Dragon’, the king of the sea, the descendants of ‘Leather Mother’, the king of the earth, the descendants of ‘Gold’, the king of the jungle, the descendants of ‘Three-Headed Giant’, the king of war, and the descendants of ‘Dream Demon’, the king of illusion. ‘, the descendants of the King of the Jungle ‘Jin’, the descendants of the King of War ‘Three-Headed Giant’, and the descendants of the King of Illusion ‘Dream Demon’.” “

    The Shark Queen pontificated.

    Back then, when the Daofather expelled the descendants of gods and devils from the continent of Kyushu, the gods and devils took up residence overseas, and the weaker ones were, the closer they were to the continent of Kyushu, like the Shark Island and the Silkworm Island, and the ones with strong cultivation were forced to go far away overseas, looking for a place to live in the vast and boundless oceans.

    The Dao Zun might tolerate some stray fish inhabiting the near sea, but it would never allow the strongest among the descendants of gods and demons to ring the near sea.

    After countless years of reproduction, the descendants of gods and demons formed one gathering place after another, similar to the human tribes of the ancient times.

    “The Arsu Islands, because of their rich produce and pleasant climate, were suitable for habitation, and in ancient times, were the target of competition among the descendants of gods and devils. After a period of years of fighting, only these six tribes were left in the end.

    “The six tribes inhabited the Arsu Islands and still did not live in peace, always thinking of annexing each other. Until the powerful being called ‘Desolation’ appeared …….”

    Pearl knew the name “Arak” from the mouth of the strongest human being beside her.

    “He devoured the then-chiefs of the six tribes, causing the tribes, which had originally possessed several powerful transcendents, to fall into an instant depression, unable to protect the homeland in which they lived. In order to resist the covetousness of nearby enemies, the six tribes gave up their hatred and formed an alliance.

    “And then, as the generations passed on, the bloodlines became thinner and thinner, and the hybrids became more and more numerous, the Alsu Islands gradually evolved towards a dynasty, and, well, we Sharks quietly disembarked every ten years or so to keep an eye on what was going on in the continent of Kyushu.

    “The situation in the Arsu Archipelago is just like your human race, with dynasties established and six major tribes ruling over the various mixed-blood tribes, as well as other smaller tribes from outside ………

    “Nowadays, the one who rules the Alsu Islands is the leader of the ‘Dragon’ tribe, and according to the classification of your human race, it’s the Third Grade Great Perfection.”

    Third grade great circle ah, tsk, a little weak ………. Xu Qi’an listened with great interest.

    The situation in the Arsu Islands is simply summed up – a civilization descended from gods and demons.

    When Nine Tailed Fox said that the next stop was an interesting place, she was referring to the Arsu Islands, as it was here that the civilization of the descendants of the gods and demons was born.

    But wherever there are highly intelligent creatures, civilizations are bound to be born.

    The prosperity of a civilization has a relationship to the power of individual intelligent beings.

    The weaker the individual, the more intelligent creatures will tend to live in groups, and institutions, civilizations are born and will prosper.

    The representative community is the human race.

    The stronger the individual, the more backward the civilization becomes, filled with obscurantism and bloodshed.

    The representative beings are then gods and demons.

    Gods and demons have the power to move mountains and fill seas, they don’t need communities at all, only slaves, and without communities no civilization would evolve.

    The human race is the opposite; individuals are weak and need to group together, and when the group emerges, the years will give the group civilization.

    “The divine and demonic descendants are in constant decline?” Xu Qi’an grasped the point.

    “Yes.”

    Pearl nodded in the affirmative:

    “Even when the descendants of gods and devils with pure bloodlines reproduce their offspring, the power of their bloodlines will weaken from generation to generation. To this day, it is no longer possible for the Shark Race to give birth to a Queen of the Second Grade Realm. Unless the cultivation method is changed to follow the system pioneered by your human race.”

    Xu Qi’an looked toward the Nine-Tailed Fox who was lying on her side on the soft collapse, lazily taking a nap.

    Noticing his gaze, the vixen closed her eyes, her two long white and slender legs rubbing together a bit, and faintly said:

    “The difference between one or two generations won’t be too big, but after three or four generations, the gap will widen, and the longer the inheritance goes on, the weaker the descendants born will be, making it almost impossible for them to surpass their ancestors.”

    Xu Qi’an frowned:

    “Why is that?”

    It’s not consistent with the evolution of life.

    The vixen grunted:

    “Don’t ask why, asking is the rule of heaven and earth.”

    Xu Qi’an really didn’t ask.

    The gods and devils were born at the beginning of the heavens and the earth, and each one of them was conceived by the heavens and the earth, so they have the characteristic of being unrepeatable? But if it can’t be replicated, there won’t be any bloodline inheritance ah…….. The gods and devils should all be sterilized before normal ……… The second generation is weaker than the first generation is understandable, after all, the bloodline is not pure, but if it is the third generation born from two second generation with the same attribute, theoretically, the bloodline has not been diluted by foreigners, then it should be as strong as the second generation. But if it is the third generation born from two “same attribute”, theoretically, the bloodline is not diluted by foreigners, then it should be as strong as the second generation.

    But the actual situation is that even the descendants of gods and devils with pure bloodlines are still weaker than one generation, which is very unreasonable …….. If the time scale is stretched out for thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years, the descendants of gods and devils may be the same as the human race, not regenerating and becoming stronger ………. And then associating it with the gods and demons suddenly going crazy and killing each other, there’s something fishy going on here …….. Xu Qi’an had a vague feeling.

    I’m afraid that the fall of the gods and demons was not accidental, but inevitable.

    “What are you thinking?”

    The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox opened her eyes and looked at him distantly.

    “Some speculations about the fall of the gods and devils!” Xu Qi’an laughed.

    Upon hearing this, the silver-haired demoness sat up with glowing eyes:

    “What guess?”

    Xu Qi’an looked at her:

    “Why should I tell you?”

    Getting along with the quirky, prank-loving vixen, which he called playing the other way around, was play!

    The Nine-Tailed Fox gave him an angry look, and with a twinkle in her soulful eyes, she smiled and said:

    “People trade secrets for secrets, and equivocation is still a concept put forward by Xu Yinluo.”

    She changed her expression to one of “I have a big secret” and whispered:

    “It’s about the shocking discovery of the descendant of that God and Demon who lost its way overseas but eventually found its way back to the Nine States during the ancient times; it, discovered what this heaven and earth really looked like, and glimpsed the essence of heaven and earth.”

    As the words fell, Xu Qi’an nodded his head:

    “The earth is round.”

    …….. The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox’s beautiful and stunning face was visibly dumbfounded, and after freezing for several seconds, she looked around angrily:

    “Where did you hide Protector Yuan?”

    So you also have Yuan protector stress disorder ……. Xu Qi An smiled and said:

    “Not only do I know the earth is round, I know it’s a ball.”

    However, he had confirmed that although the world of Kyushu was also a planet, it was larger, many times larger, than the Earth of his previous life.

    The silver-haired demon girl froze there for a long time.

    The secret she had kept in her heart for many years, the “essence of the world” that she had never disclosed to anyone, was revealed by this human who had only lived for twenty-two years.

    Looking at the other party’s calm and collected demeanor, it seemed like this was just a trivial matter?

    Like this kind of arrogant and cunning fox spirit, it is necessary to suppress the whole aspect, so that she does not have any superiority in front of you, in order to temper the obedience ……… Xu Qi an was satisfied with the reaction of the nine tailed fox, did not take care of it, and turned to the queen of the sharks to talk in a friendly and cordial manner.

    The Queen of the Sharks went to the Alsu Islands this time for two things: one, to collect the turquoise coral that was abundant in the Alsu Gulf, which could cure the Sharks of the disease of albino scaling.

    Second, buy a herb called “red root”, which works as an aphrodisiac.

    Because of the Jiaolong’s rebellion, the Sharks sacrificed more than two hundred people and suffered extremely heavy losses.

    It is important to realize that the sharks are a dedicated race, and after the death of their partner, they no longer choose a new one.

    Sacrificing more than two hundred men, and more than two hundred bachelors, equaled the loss of nearly five hundred clansmen at once.

    As you can imagine, the number of shark mouths in the next generation of sharks must have plummeted.

    Fidelity is a racial custom that cannot be forced, but only allows the first clansmen to be fruitful and fertile, preferably three or four children.

    Xu Qi’an quite liked this Sailor Queen, well-behaved and gentle, speaking in a delicate voice, easily winning the favor of men.

    Let’s hope she’s not a “I’m just heartbroken about my brother” tea master.

    “If the Arsu Islands are made of the body of a three-headed giant, could its spiritual essence lurk deep within the earth? The power of qi and blood? No matter what, I have to go and take a look, goose and gander.

    “It’s too bad that the king of that divine and demonic descendant is a third-ranked great circle, the essence blood of a second-ranked powerhouse is of great benefit to me, but a third-ranked one is far worse.

    “There’s only one Transcendent in such a large settlement, did “Desolation” really kill off all the Transcendents.”

    He looked at the blue sky and thought silently.

    …………

    After three days of riding the winds and waves, Xu Qi’an’s earth book completely lost its signal, which meant that he could no longer contact with Kyushu.

    At the same time, they entered the territory of the “Arsu” islands.

    According to the Nine-Tailed Fox and the Queen of Sharks, this is not only the largest settlement of the descendants of gods and demons, but also the place with the largest number of “transient people”.

    The tribes of the surrounding seas would come to the market of the Arsu Islands every once in a while to exchange goods and harvests.

    And of course the message.

    Moreover, that transcendent powerhouse from the Alsu Islands was, theoretically speaking, also on Xu Qi’an’s hunting list.

    “This is already Azul’s domain, and you may encounter patrol guards from the ‘Dragon’ tribe, who will question the boarders about their clan and where they came from. If you don’t want to make a big deal out of it, just leave it to me.”

    The shark queen said softly.

    Xu Qi’an ”hmmm”, not caring about such minutiae.

    After sailing for another half hour, he never saw the legendary patrol guards.

    The Sailor Queen said, “Huh.”

    “It looks like we’re in luck, thirty miles further on we’ll encounter the ‘Luan’ tribe’s air patrol guard ……”

    She had just finished speaking when she saw a body floating ahead of her.

    It was an eight-foot-tall humanoid creature covered in greenish-black scales, with legs and feet that resembled those of humans but were much thicker, with sharp, pitch-black toenails and fingernails, and a tail vertebrae that extended out of its body to form a half-meter-long stubby tail.

    The head, on the other hand, is purely auger head with a dark, pointed horn on the forehead.

    A more graphic description would be – a little dragon man!

    Its body was tattered and torn, its scales and armor peeling off in many places, revealing the tender red flesh and blood inside.

    The death seems to have been preceded by a fierce struggle.

    Xu Qi’an glanced at the pearl and communicated with his mind:

    “Maritime patrol guards?”

    The Sailor Queen’s showy, delicate brow furrowed as she nodded wordlessly.

    So, was this the norm, or had he met with an accident? Xu Qi’an muttered something in his heart.

    He wasn’t sure if the Alsu Islands were normal, or extraordinary.

    But when he saw that Pearl was only frowning slightly and not reacting too much, he knew it was the norm.

    Law and order chaos ……… Xu Qi An commented a sentence in his heart.

    After a few minutes of continued sailing, another small draconian body floated in from the sea.

    That’s not always the norm anymore! Xu Qi Xin said.

    “The Alsu Islands seem to have suffered an enemy attack.” The Shark Queen’s face was serious.

    This means that there is a probability that they will be drawn into an unprovoked fight.

    Think what you want.

    The left side of the ship suddenly came from the “clattering” sound of water, a black shadow in the gushing waves jumped up, pouncing on the aft of the nine-tailed sky fox.

    The silver-haired siren lazily reclined without moving.

    A fluffy fox tail coiled the dark figure and hung it in mid-air.

    The attacker was actually a strong little dragon man, his appearance was the same as the two floating corpses, obviously of the same clan, the difference was that the little dragon man who attacked the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox had red eyes.

    Filled with brutality and madness.

    The scales on his body were strewn with twisted, incomplete patterns that made one resist the urge to vomit and become dizzy just by looking at them.

    It was exactly the same as the transcendent augur that attacked Sailor Island.

    ………
