Fantasy: I'll do the hacking, and you'll suffer the side effects!

181: The long river is hanging upside down! The seven-treasure spirit fish is a hundred feet long! The fire god fish!“To know one’s mistakes and be able to correct them is the greatest virtue. I’ll consider this matter as if it never happened.” Qin Han magnanimously waved his hand.

“Thank you, Young Master Qin, for your generosity.” Zhe Xizuo’s mouth twitched violently.

He could guarantee that this was the most humiliating day of his life.

There was no other.

To be beaten and still have to apologize to the other party—as a Prince, how could he swallow this indignity?

Not to mention him, even Zhe Yunli, as an observer, found it incredibly hard to believe.

“Imperial Brother, was it necessary to go to such lengths?” Zhe Yunli asked, puzzled.

Zhe Changsheng did not answer, but instead looked at Qin Han and said, “Are you satisfied with this handling, Young Master Qin?”

“Seeing your sincerity, why not cooperate?” Qin Han smiled slightly.

“That’s excellent. Then let’s unite against the common enemy and overcome this difficulty together.” Zhe Changsheng nodded.

He then added, “Of course, this is only until we enter the Nest. Once inside, it’s every man for himself.”

“Naturally.” Qin Han agreed.

“Let’s go!” Zhe Changsheng commanded.

At his command, everyone moved forward, climbing up the stone steps.

Even though Zhe Xizuo harbored ill intentions, he couldn’t act on them at that moment. He merely glanced at Qin Han, who was following behind, from the corner of his eye from time to time.

“Imperial Brother, you must have a reason for doing this, right?” Zhe Xizuo couldn’t help but ask.

“Did you not hear a single word of what I just made so clear, Crown Prince?” Zhe Changsheng frowned.

“I heard it. You said he would bring about his own demise.”

“Then what are you still worried about?”

“I won’t be content unless I personally slay him.”

“Don’t worry, you’ll have that chance.”

Although their conversation was quiet, it didn’t escape the ears of Yan Taiyin and the others.

He merely smiled at this outcome, not surprised in the slightest.

Without Wu De, they absolutely couldn’t enter. If the Taigu Divine Nest were so easy to enter,

the Sea Race and Yao Race here would have long since plundered all the treasures inside.

Would they still be waiting for them to reap the rewards?

If they tore off their masks with Qin Han now, and Wu De, in a fit of Life Qi, destroyed the ‘key’ later, wouldn’t this trip be in vain?

This was why Zhe Changsheng had waited for Qin Han’s arrival on the stone steps from the very beginning.

In fact, they had arrived two days ago but hadn’t continued climbing because they were waiting for someone.

Zhe Changsheng and Qin Han already had an irreconcilable hatred.

Just the incident of Zhe Yunli being abducted created an unresolvable rift.

Therefore, cooperation was inevitable, as it benefited both sides.

After all, there were many Yao Race and Sea Race members here, and an extra person meant an extra share of strength.

Otherwise, no one could guarantee a safe arrival at the Godly Nest.

Wu De’s small eyes darted around, staring at the climbing figures ahead, and he whispered, “Once we enter the Godly Nest, it’s definitely going to be a case of burning the bridge after crossing.”

“I know.”

“You know that and you still cooperate with them? Why don’t we go in by ourselves and enjoy the treasures exclusively?”

“Without these resentful fools to scout the way, do you think the Ghost Ship alone can deter all enemies?”

“You mean, let them fight?” Wu De’s eyes lit up.

“Since it’s a cooperation, there must naturally be a division of labor. We just need to do our own job.”

“What’s our job?”

“Protect the ‘key’.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Wu De immediately showed a knowing smile.

“You’re still the sly one, hehehe…”

“You too.”

Several hours later, the group finally ascended the stone steps and arrived at a vast area.

A chilling aura assailed them. The path ahead was extremely broad, and as far as the eye could see, it was ancient and filled with a sense of primordial vastness.

Fierce battles were constantly unfolding, mostly between the Yao Race and the Sea Race of this continent.

Having lived here for countless years, they had accumulated countless years of grievances.

It wasn’t because of the Taigu Divine Nest.

Even if they hadn’t come here today, a great battle would still have occurred.

“Look up!” Zhe Xizuo pointed upwards.

Everyone looked up and their eyes widened, pupils contracting sharply.

They saw a vast ocean suspended high in the sky, with countless swimming fish, water plants, and corals hanging upside down, as if gravity had reversed.

Among these creatures, Qin Han also saw the familiar Seven Treasure Spirit Fish.

Unlike the Golden Scale River outside,

the one he had speared last time was tiny, barely enough to clean his teeth.

But this Seven Treasure Spirit Fish was actually a hundred zhang long, its immense size astonishing.

One must know that throughout the entire history of the Golden Scale Celebration, such a gigantic Seven Treasure Spirit Fish had never appeared.

Because the living environment and conditions for this type of fish were extremely harsh; it could only grow one inch in a hundred years.

The one hundred zhang long fish above had lived for at least hundreds of thousands of years.

“This is the Old Ancestor of Old Ancestors.” Wu De was completely dumbfounded, saliva uncontrollably dripping from his mouth.

“Wouldn’t eating one bite make you become Saint-Grade on the spot?” The God-Slaying Stone was also incredibly greedy.

“Do you dare to touch it? One flick of its tail could kill a hundred of you.” Qin Han asked.

“No way, right? Didn’t they say this fish isn’t aggressive?” Wu De’s eyelid twitched.

“With such a massive body, it’s at least a Half-Saint-Grade old monster. Do you think it has sentience?”

“Then forget it. This thing isn’t controlled by the River God, and it has no Divine Qi in its body, so it definitely won’t taste good.” Wu De found an excuse for himself.

Qin Han smiled wryly, then continued to look up.

Besides the precious and delicious Seven Treasure Spirit Fish, there were also many Divine Fish that were almost extinct outside.

For example, the Purple Sun Divine Fish and the Heaven-Folding Divine Fish.

The Senluo Divine Fish was also prominently among the school of fish.

Although these Divine Fish did not possess Divine Qi, they were large in size. Eating one would surely allow one to break through several minor Realms.

This was a tremendous attraction for the Martial Artists present.

“What’s that?” Zhe Xizuo spotted a fiery red figure and exclaimed.

They saw a vast expanse of blue sea, with water vapor like falling clouds, connecting from the sky to the ground, and dense white mist resembling smoke and dust.

It was also like Nine Heavens Immortal Clouds, enveloping an area of a hundred li.

And in the vast whiteness, a fiery red figure about ten feet long moved continuously, evaporating large areas of the ocean wherever it passed.

This peculiar phenomenon was created by it.

“That is… a Fire Divine Fish!” Zhe Changsheng’s expression instantly changed.

“What? Haven’t these things been extinct for a long time?” Yan Taiyin was extremely shocked.

“I heard that Fire Divine Fish lay their eggs in the Golden Scale River. After hatching, the juveniles swim against the currents towards the Endless Sea. Upon reaching adulthood, they possess the strength of the Self-Severing Realm, which is extraordinary.”

“However, during the Di Lin Era, a large group of Fire Divine Fish sought to contend with several Sea Gods for dominion over the Endless Sea.”

“That battle was so fierce that the sky almost fell, and endless white mist enveloped half of the Endless Sea, not dispersing for a hundred years.”

“In the end, they were defeated and, it is said, exterminated. To this day, not a single Fire Divine Fish egg has been found in the Golden Scale River.” Zhe Changsheng explained.

“Only the Golden Scale River in the entire world is suitable for the survival of Fire Divine Fish. This is also known as the Ancestral River. Now, seeing another one here, could it be…”

Zhe Changsheng nodded slightly, his expression grave, “This inverted river here is very likely connected to the Golden Scale River outside.”

“What?!” Everyone was greatly surprised.
