Ji Chen watched as the leading knight commanded the Heavy Armor Toothfish to leave. He remained calm and ordered the Sea Crystal Wyrm to wait in place.

Soon, the knight returned and approached, casting a complex gaze towards Alice. Then, in a polite tone, he said, “Please follow us. Our queen wishes to meet you, but apart from her, your subordinates must remain here.”

Ji Chen nodded in agreement. It was better to be able to meet the ruler of this sea domain directly, avoiding the complications that arose from conflicts with the elves earlier.

Following these knights, they advanced deeper into the cave, encountering patrols of sea creatures along the way, all under the guidance of these knights who led them through multiple checkpoints.

What surprised him was the strength of these sea tribe warriors they encountered along the way, which exceeded his expectations.

These knights riding Heavy Armor Toothfish were not the most formidable units. Some sea tribe warriors, riding even larger mounts, emitted a more powerful aura than the Sea Crystal Wyrm. Moreover, their numbers were not just a hundred or two; there were thousands of them.

On their journey, Ji Chen saw no less than three thousand sixth-tier units, and the fifth-tier units numbered over ten thousand. It was evident that the sea tribe possessed deep and extensive strength.

The Heavy Armor Toothfish knight silently observed the human following behind and, though he showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, he didn’t display any fear. He nodded in acknowledgment.

However, when he saw the young Siren, who followed behind him like a servant, a trace of strangeness crossed his expression.

A Siren bowing to a human?

!!..

If someone had told him this before, he would have considered it a massive joke. But today, he witnessed it with his own eyes.

Not only the young Siren, but even these sixth-tier sea tribe units were bowing before a human. Had something earth-shattering happened outside? Had his thoughts and impressions fallen far behind?

They continued in silence until it seemed they had passed through the outer regions and reached the true heart of the sea. Upon seeing the scene before him, Ji Chen’s face finally showed a hint of astonishment.

Before his eyes stood a massive underwater city built within a colossal underwater cave, standing proudly on a wide seabed basin.

A hundred-meter-high wall surrounded the city, and countless blue buildings stood within it. Towers reaching hundreds to thousands of meters high, magnificent epic temples, neon-lit spires, massive blue stone arches, and colossal stone statues flanking the entrance.

This underwater city even had roads—a floating energy road constructed from some blue material. Creatures could move swiftly on it, and these energy roads were spread throughout, with transportation vehicles powered by sea horses and giant turtles, among others, moving along them.

If one ignored the fact that they were deep underwater, at first glance, it seemed like they had entered some kind of cyberpunk city.

The most conspicuous among them was a towering temple located in the city’s center. It was primarily made of blue stone-like material, with coral and shell materials as auxiliary constructions, and it reached heights of over a thousand meters.

Its grandeur, magnificence, and intricacy rivaled any wonder Ji Chen had ever seen. It was undoubtedly the most spectacular structure he had ever witnessed.

Ji Chen observed with a fleeting glance. Based on everything he had seen along the way, at least in this era, the sea tribe possessed a civilization that was no less magnificent than that of elves and humans. In the unfathomable depths of the sea, they had built a splendid and thriving society.

This can be seen from the spectacular underwater buildings along the way.

In appearance, it resembles a mature feudal kingdom, with a very stable social structure and social order, all smoothly operating on this foundation.

However, the more it is like this, the more it makes him wonder what caused the sea tribe to become completely fragmented hundreds of thousands of years later, within the chaotic and bloody sea society, devoid of order.

They turned against each other, with no order, filled with chaos and bloodshed.

The knights led Ji Chen and Alice all the way to the majestic temple at the city center. Security here was extremely tight, and not even the guiding knight could enter.

A sea tribe general, clad in cold iron armor and of the merfolk race, emerged from the entrance and approached them. With sharp, narrow eyes, he scrutinized the two. When he saw Ji Chen and Alice, a hint of surprise flickered in his gaze.

But there wasn’t much of a reaction, just a command, “Follow me.”

He then walked towards the interior of the temple, and Ji Chen, with Alice in tow, followed the sea tribe general. They passed through a straight passage and arrived at a massive space resembling an oval-shaped arena.

Around the “arena,” on the steps, sat numerous sea tribe members. Judging from the decorations signifying their status and identity, they appeared to belong to the nobility and officials.

Ji Chen briefly scanned the area and quickly fixed his gaze on a platform positioned at a middle height, directly across from the passage.

On the platform, a merfolk with a dazzling crown and adorned in luxurious attire sat on a throne crafted from white jade. Her hands rested on the armrests as she looked down.

Upon seeing Ji Chen move through the water freely like a sea tribe member, a hint of curiosity flashed in her golden eyes.

As they entered the arena, the surroundings suddenly fell silent. Sea tribe nobles and officials looked at them with inquisitive gazes, their eyes filled with surprise. They whispered among themselves.

“I’ve never seen a human survive in the deep sea before. This is the first time.”

“That human looks rather handsome, but his body seems a bit frail. I doubt he can even lift a weapon. Probably doesn’t have much strength.”

“The sea tribe accompanying that human, as I watch her, I have a strangely peculiar feeling…”

Seeing these sea tribe members sizing him up with eyes resembling those observing monkeys in a zoo, Ji Chen felt displeased. His brows furrowed, and he released his magical power. Intense waves surged, causing the surrounding seawater to churn. The sea tribe members on the seats were thrown off balance, looking quite disheveled.

“Bold! To be so insolent in front of the queen!”

“Guards, subdue this ignorant human!”

Just as the surrounding sea tribe soldiers rushed forward to apprehend Ji Chen, the merfolk sea tribe sitting on the throne spoke.

“Step back.”

Her voice wasn’t loud, but it carried an imposing aura that made people feel the urge to submit.

Upon hearing this, the sea tribe soldiers who had charged forward didn’t hesitate for a moment and immediately retreated to their original positions, watching Ji Chen with vigilant eyes.

The queen rose to her feet, her gaze unwavering, and spoke slowly.

“Human, 1 am the Ruler of the Kingdom of Heraklion. Speak of your purpose for coming here.”

There was nothing unusual on Ji Chen’s face as he replied in a casual tone.

“The sea tribe will face extinction.”

This statement caused an uproar among the sea tribe nobles and officials who had been suppressing their anger because of the queen’s presence.

“What is this human talking about? Unbelievable! He should be banished to the Abyss of Flames to endure the punishment of flames!”

“Our sea tribe is incredibly prosperous; how could we face extinction? We will continue to thrive for tens of thousands of years!”

“I propose executing this human! The sea tribe accompanying him is probably a servant, so they should be executed as well!”

The sea tribe nobles and officials were incensed, and even the queen on the throne couldn’t help but furrow her brow slightly. Her tone became less courteous.

“Human, I know you possess some strength, enough to be proud outside the ocean, but within the sea, the sea tribe is the true ruler, unrivaled.”

Ji Chen shook his head as if unsurprised and said, “But it’s precisely because of your excessive self-confidence, disdain for the outside world, and complacency that you sow the seeds of your future demise.”

Seeing Ji Chen’s calm demeanor, as if he had nothing to fear, the queen felt a hint of curiosity but still spoke in a stern tone.

“I’ll allow you to continue speaking, otherwise, you’ll pay the price for your words..”
