Chapter 1864: Chapter 927_2

“I’ll take it back for some research first.”

The Three Extremes Sage said this, then promptly left this Different World.

With this movement, the Peach Blossom Sage, who already wanted to leave, immediately made an excuse to help and withdrew as well.

Of the Jumang Lineage present, only Wenren Xuewei remained, and she awkwardly smiled.

“Quickly send all the pre-arranged people and equipment over here. There’s a lot worth studying.”

While some left, others stayed. Master Yuan Xu spoke to Ying Guanghua, then promptly performed Void Walk, heading towards the mineral vein that Nangong Xuanyu and the vanguard army had previously surveyed.

“I’ll go check out the underwater ruins. Perhaps I can unravel the buried history and civilization of this planet.”

Master Mei Hua from the Astral Observation Academy said this. Though the ruins maps and patterns sent by Nangong Xuanyu and others looked clear, nothing beats a firsthand experience.

“I can join, right?”

Master Yu Yi was very interested; Master Mei Hua was naturally happy to have company. Finally, Yunhai Master also wanted to explore the landscapes of the Different World. The three departed together.

“Then I’ll wander around as well, maybe I’ll stumble upon an opportunity for Divinity Transformation.”

Master Chengxuan spoke. His lifespan was running out, and if this Different World didn’t have resources to allow him Divinity Transformation, he’d have to risk that step once the portal closed.

Afterwards, Chen Mobai and others lingered for several more days. Once confirming the situation was settled, they returned to the Immortal Gate.

Time slipped by slowly!

Soon, a year had passed.

First, Master Mei Hua made a significant breakthrough discovery in the underwater ruins.

Around the ruins, they found many bones that belonged to half-human, half-fish creatures. Comparing various findings and murals, it was confirmed these were the planet’s original rulers.

However, these merfolk were not always this way.

According to research from the ruins, they were initially land-based overlords who ruled the heavens and earth of this planet, including the underwater Sea Territory–everywhere they could tread was their domain.

They claimed to be descendants of the Three Dragon Gods and established the dynasty called the Dragon God Dynasty.

The Three Dragon Gods were the Celestial Dragon God, Earth Dragon God, and Sea Dragon God!

Each controlled the sky, the land, and the ocean, respectively.

This planet was also known as the Dragon God Star!

Yet, countless ages ago, a massive meteor fell from the sky, piercing the Heaven and Earth Placenta, and struck the ground, creating an unbelievably deep crater.

According to underwater murals, Yunhai Master located the spot where the meteor fell, confirming it was right where the Xuanwu Dao Palace currently held dominance.

It was also the passageway into the underground of the Dragon God Star.

Initially, the beings of the Dragon God Dynasty approached the meteor with a research attitude. Among them, the most powerful priests even took materials from the meteor to refine crowns and other divine treasures for the emperors of the Dragon God Dynasty.

Unfortunately, they didn’t notice that this extraterrestrial meteor also brought a terrifying cosmic creature known as Insect Beasts. Before the beings of the Dragon God Dynasty arrived, the Matriarch of the Insect Beasts hid away and began absorbing planetary energy, laying an immense number of eggs.

Hundreds of years later, as the number of Insect Beasts grew too overwhelming and their underground nest became overburdened, they surged out under the Matriarch’s lead, starting to devour the surface world’s beings.

The Dragon God Dynasty initially managed to organize forces to suppress the Insect Beasts.

However, as time went by, the experts of the Dragon God Dynasty fell one by one under the unceasing flood of Insect Beasts. Finally, the long-dormant Three Dragon Gods were awakened. Under their lead, the priests of the Dragon God Dynasty even fought their way into the depths of the underground.

The specifics of the underground battle were not depicted on the murals.

However, including the Three Dragon Gods, all the priests of the Dragon God Dynasty never returned. But for decades, the Insect Beasts also disappeared. Just when the beings of the Dragon God Dynasty thought it was all over, more Insect Beasts began emerging from underground, swallowing all living beings.

This time, the Three Dragon Gods never reappeared.

Eventually, all beings of the Dragon God Dynasty were forced to abandon the land and flee to the Sea Territory.

Although the Insect Beasts were incredibly powerful, capable of devouring various metals, trees, and minerals, they uniquely disliked water.

The beings of the Dragon God Dynasty used the Sea Territory to barely survive. Over tens of thousands of years, they even evolved into forms that were half-human, half-dragon, and half-fish.

Another century passed. During this time, the emperors of the Dragon God Dynasty did not give up hope and sent newly born priests to the land to search for traces of the Three Dragon Gods.

Perseverance paid off, and they found a blood message from the ancients in the underground nest.

However, the contents recorded on it were despair-inducing.

The Matriarch had devoured the core energy of the planet, growing powerful beyond imagination. Although the Three Dragon Gods severely injured it in battle, they couldn’t completely obliterate its form and spirit. Ultimately, the Three Dragon Gods were exhausted and got devoured by the Matriarch. The remaining priests of the Dragon God Dynasty were hunted down and killed by endless Insect Beasts in the underground nest.

This blood message was left by one of the strongest priests who had cultivated to the Dragon King Realm before his death.

Learning all this, the Dragon God Dynasty never had any plans to reclaim the land again.
