NOVPUBIn the Origin State of the Small World, a warship slowly sailed towards the north.
The original majestic scenery, where the Human Clan of this Small World aspired to live, had turned into a blood-colored Dead Land - a complete mess.
The rivers and lakes were gradually drying up, and the lush Spirit Wood forests were also gradually turning into the southern kind, with only dead trees and rocky mountains.
Because there were no walking corpses under the dead trees, no white fog could spread, allowing for a very clear view.
On the warship, Zhao Wei and others, who had followed Lin Qian, looked down at the scene below with grave expressions, their faces filled with worry.
Originally, Lin Qian had said that he wanted to incorporate this Small World into his Territory; they would become his subjects and live here.
They had thought that with their dramatically improved strength, after exterminating the Dwarf Ghost Clan and the Giant Ghost Clan, they could live happily in the beautiful north.
Who would have thought that the north had now become this way, a place no longer habitable?
"Your Majesty, the north has now turned into the same situation as the south," a worried Zhao Wei sighed to Lin Qian.
After all, this Small World was their realm of existence; if they could regard it as their homeland, it would naturally be more than perfect.
But now, that was just a vain hope.
Lin Qian stood at the front end of the warship’s deck, gazing into the distance, signaling them not to worry, "Don’t worry, I have my methods. For now, let’s first deal with that hidden danger."
Hearing that Lin Qian had a method, everyone felt inexplicably reassured. Now, it seemed like there was nothing that the opponent could not handle.
The despairing army of walking corpses had been dealt with by their majesty’s forces, had they not?
And it wasn’t even a hard fought battle but rather a one-sided massacre that was utterly boring.
Eventually, Lin Qian finally saw a grand hall in the northern mountains, different from other places, where there was not a bit of bloody light surrounding it, still full of vitality.
After disembarking the warship, Lin Qian led Zhao Wei and the others into the dimly lit grand hall.
Strangely enough, when Lin Qian and his group entered the grand hall, the entire hall seemed to come to life, shining with bright light.
Upon closer inspection, these bright spots were the Array patterns and runes that emerged, illuminating the situation inside the hall crystal clear.
With the sounds of chains swiftly sliding and a pained grunt,
everyone looked in the direction of the sound and immediately noticed a creature with purple skin and two horns on its head, pulled by chains of faint white light towards the center of the hall, tightly bound.
The creature from a different clan was clearly struggling, but the chains of faint white light binding it were even stronger, making it impossible for it to break free.
"Hmm?" Seeing the bound creature from a different clan, Lin Qian was somewhat surprised, "Strange, by all accounts, you shouldn’t be of the Black Blood Royal Family, just an ordinary member of the Black Blood Clan, right?"
Just after Lin Qian finished speaking, he answered his own question, "I understand now. It’s likely that a member of the Black Blood Royal Family has been sealed within this Small World. After you came in, you must have obtained the body of your royal ancestor!"
Upon hearing Lin Qian’s words, the bound member of the Black Blood Royal Family was evidently shocked, "How could you know that, and even about the royal matters!"
"This is the foreign race member from the Black Blood Clan? They look quite ugly."
"There are even horns growing on his head, and they are growing forward. What happens if they kiss their spouse? Won’t the horns pierce through the head of the other?"
"Do they rely on the horn on their heads for farming? If that’s the case, it seems quite convenient."
Before Lin Qian could say anything, Zhao Wei and other former leaders of the Human Clan tribes behind him had already started a heated discussion. Having personally dealt with the Dwarf Ghost Clan and the Giant Ghost Clan, these Human Clan members’ dignity and confidence had been restored, and their personalities were much healthier than before.
Lin Qian’s eyes brightened as he approached, "I’ve thought about this issue too. Perhaps, because of the horns on their heads, people from foreign races might live differently and possibly don’t kiss."
"Your Majesty, that’s really tragic for this foreign race..."
"Right, how do they breastfeed their children in this race? Won’t the children hurt their mother with their horns?" Suddenly, Shi Yun blurted out. 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Everyone fell silent, staring at Shi Yun with mouths agape.
At that moment, the bound Lu Shangda shivered with anger.
These Humans were supposed to be the lambs ready for slaughter, tools for his escape. Now, they were gathered around him, looking at him as if he were a pet, and even verbally insulting his race.
But what could he do? His army of thirty million walking corpses had been completely annihilated, not even one corpse had been left behind.
The opponent was casually chatting and laughing in front of him, and he could do nothing about it.
Lin Qian told everyone to stop discussing, then turned to face Lu Shangda, "I apologize, foreigner. I was caught up in the conversation with my new subjects and didn’t notice you. What was it you asked just now? Please, repeat it."
Lu Shangda’s teeth clenched audibly, "Lin Qian, kill or butcher me, I will accept it, but what’s the skill in verbal insults. Are you Humans always this disgusting?"
"Disgusting? Merely verbally humiliating you already shows great respect. Your Black Blood Clan is even more revolting!"
"Respect for the deceased is universal among all races. But your Black Blood Clan steals others’ bones, turning them into Blood Nourishing Corpses to use as nutrition, crafting walking corpses to serve as pawns in slaughter."
"Turning other people’s family members and ancestors into undying walking corpses, the deeds committed by your race are truly vile," Lin Qian said coldly, his gaze toward the other full of disdain.
Lu Shangda’s face showed no guilt; instead, he shouted resentfully, "It is a curse given by the heavens to our race, it is not our fault!"
Lin Qian smirked slightly, a Crystal Bottle suddenly appearing in his hand, swirling with purple-black blood, "Your Black Blood has already been researched by my Prime Minister and it is truly amazing. Its precise function is to stimulate life, suppress death, and greatly enhance the strength of the blood, thereby aiding the physical body’s enhancement."
"That’s also why the bodies of Blood Nourishing Corpses and walking corpses are so durable and strong."
"Sadly, heaven gave your race such a great Talent, yet you don’t use it on yourselves or for righteous purposes but think of harming others for your own benefit. It’s not the fault of the heavens, but the fault of your own Black Blood Clan."
Lu Shangda initially stupefied, stared at the Crystal Bottle in Lin Qian’s hand and yelled in horror, "Royal blood of the Black Blood Royal Family, how could you possibly have that in your hands."
Lin Qian tossed the Crystal Bottle filled with the royal essence of the Black Blood Royal Family, "Since you were able to find this Small World, it means you have some understanding of the Ancient Times. So, tell me, have you ever heard the name Nan Xin?"
