“...... The Heavenly Dome Barrier, in the ancient snake language of the 10th Age, is called the Separation of the Heavenly Dome Barrier, which is the earliest record of the Heavenly Dome Barrier. ”

"Among the forty-three eras of rise and fall experienced by the snake people, the first era is the birth of the snake people, the second era is the reign of Mona, the white snake girl, and the third to the ninth era is the reign of King Unogaya, with a time span of 20,000 years. ”

"The Age of the Sea, the Age of the Sky, and the Age of the Earth are all divisions of the domination and exploration of the world, the Sixth Age is the Millennial Age of War with the Atlanteans, or the Age of Rivals, and the Seventh Age is the Age of Truce of only more than 500 years...... The Eighth Age is unknown, but all the materials invariably point to that unknown catastrophe, but almost all the materials and information of this era were destroyed in the Ninth Age, the Age of the Madness of King Xian, and no information was left. ”

"In the Ninth Age, the Age of Madness, the King of Unogaya suddenly fell into madness for some reason, and it is difficult for scholars today to understand what really happened in that era, but the only thing that is known is that the mighty king destroyed almost everything in the sea. All the ancient cities have been destroyed, countless ancient technologies have been lost, the methods of making the brass giants have disappeared, the blueprints of Sky City have disappeared, and the ancient mechanical legions have disappeared completely...... Many, many things were destroyed by the king whom the ancient serpents did not dare to mention. ”

"In the Ninth Age, the ancient serpents banished the mad king and banished him to the land forever, so that he could never step into the sea. ”

"But even so, the ancient serpents were still afraid of the power of this king, and they feared that the immortal King Unogaya would one day break free from the curse and return to the sea again, so the ancient serpents of the tenth era created the Celestial Barrier, an underwater world that the outside world could never perceive and could never enter, in an attempt to escape the hatred of the king of Unogaya......"

......

In a majestic palace, Uberto reclines on a brass chair, quickly browsing the materials in front of him.

At the same time, thousands of robotic arms in the palace are quickly retrieving books, flipping through books, eliminating unneeded books, handing him the books that Uberto needs, and then sorting out the books that have been read, and some will also add bookmarks so that they can be found next time.

The snake people civilization does not have the concept of the Internet and computers, but they are good at using steam and have found another way, using the steam machinery they are good at to create this special mechanical arm. The many robotic arms installed in this palace are good at consulting and retrieving books, and these numerous robotic arms will retrieve all the books and materials you need whenever needed.

When I first came here, even the well-informed Uberto was blown away.

When thousands of cumbersome and complex robotic arms work at the same time, the coordination and neatness is as mathematical as art, and only now Uberto has been able to ignore it.

On the side, the former snake king, the current snake king vice-king, stood beside Uberto, and after the abdication of Ya'an Jemu, as the only two snake people, she assisted the new snake king as the deputy king.

Looking at Uberto, who was too serious and completely ignored himself, the beautiful creature frowned.

In her opinion, Uberto was indeed a very capable person, and she was initially a little jealous and unwilling, but after contact with her, she realized how powerful this arrogant and conceited earthly freak was. However, Uberto, who has such ability, did not have the consciousness of the snake man king at all, and devoted himself to searching for information in this library hall.

"Is that how you want to leave the ruins?"

A cold voice said.

Uberto didn't hide anything from her, or didn't have the energy to hide it, he had been trying to find a way to leave, but the Venerable Order would not allow the Snake Man King to leave the Sea Ruins, let alone the only pure snake man known so far.

But Uberto didn't answer her question, but asked without looking back.

"Where is Strange Stories from the Bright Void Sea?"

The beautiful creature with a beautiful face that surpassed that of a human couldn't help but be suffocated, but she still had to fulfill her obligations as a vice-king...... Find information for the Serpent King.

"This is the book, and there are only fragments in the library hall, which were destroyed a long time ago......"

"Which ...... is "Hymn to the White Snake"?"

"This ......"

"Crazy Poetry ......"

After a long time, feeling that he had almost found it, Uberto waved his hand to signal that the many mechanical arms could stop, and he leaned back in his brass chair, rubbing his temples, slowly thinking about the many materials he had just found.

According to the information I just found, the snake civilization has preserved a lot of history from the time of Atlantis to the present, a full forty-three eras, more than 50,000 years, far more detailed than human history.

Although he looks at the world from the perspective of the snake people themselves, it is inevitable that there are some tendencies, such as disparaging the Atlanteans as "barbarians on the earth", and most of them depict the stories of the snake people's civilization itself, but if you combine the information that Uberto himself summarized in the past, as well as the occasional revelations of the "Last Angel", it is enough for him to deduce many things......

I couldn't help but take a deep breath.

A long history, dusty mythological era, from that mythological era to the current era, there have been too many changes in this world, and only the lucky remnants of the snake man world still retain a relatively complete record.

In the midst of all these events, Uberto realizes that all the sticking points are related to a recurring character......

Father of Serpents.

The Serpent Civilization revered the gods they called the "Father of the Serpent", and with countless poems about the Father of the Serpent in every era, Uberto realized that all the problems he was experiencing were inextricably linked to the Father of the Serpent.

What exactly is the father of the serpent?

While he was pondering, he caught a glimpse of a beautiful creature beside him, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Why are you here?"

I didn't seem to notice when she approached, and in front of Uberto, the beautiful creature pursed her lips with a gloomy expression, as if trying to suppress her anger, and only said with an inexplicable smile after a long time.

"Am I not your servant of the Serpent King, you just summoned me with ease. ”

Her face is extremely beautiful, but her usual dignified and majestic appearance makes it difficult to look at directly, so that she subconsciously ignores this girl's beauty, and at this moment this smile seems to be spring is coming, a hundred flowers are blooming, but after this hundred flowers are in full bloom, it is a deep chill.

Uberto was silent for a moment, such obvious resentment and irony that he would have a ghost if he couldn't see it.

"Ya'an Jemu, what does it seem to you that the father of the serpent means. ”

"The Great Father!"

At the mention of the Father of the Serpent, Yaanjemu's voice couldn't help but raise a little, and he glared at Uberto with some anger. After expressing his dissatisfaction, Ya'an Jemu said.

"Uberto, I don't blame you for knowing that you were born on earth, that you were not educated in the orthodox scriptures, and that you did not understand how great the great Father is. But you must understand that it is precisely because of the kindness and tolerance of the Serpent Father that the creatures of this world have a place to live and reproduce. ”

As she spoke, she solemnly stroked her chest and said solemnly.

"In the eyes of us snake people, the father of the serpent is our origin god, and it is the most forgiving deity, and even the heart of the sea cannot describe its tolerance. It carries the entire sea and land under the earth, on its back, and never minds that we are small creatures to establish a kingdom and develop civilization on its body, whether it is a snake man or an earthly species, it is because of this that the ancient snake people sang the tolerance and fraternity of the father of the snake. ”

However, the serpent's tolerance and fraternity are followed by its indifference and violence, and when the serpent father is angry, the underwater world will crumble and the earthly world will disappear like a splash. We are the sons of the Serpent's Father, and we are the closest beings to the Serpent's Father, so the kings of the past have done their best to comfort the Father from anger with the idea of protecting this fragile world and appeasing the Serpent Father. ”

"If the status of the Serpent King is so revered, why do you have to let me sit on it as an earthly human? ”

Uberto said noncommittally.

Ya'an Jemu was silent for a moment, then bit his lower lip and said.

"Uberto, I know you're still wary of trying to put you in the position of Serpent King, but that's not the case. It is in the nature of the snake people to fear the superiors, and perhaps those Venerable ones have other ideas, but I have no ill will towards you. ”

“...... You probably won't understand it, but just standing in front of you, I'm already feeling so hard that I can't help but want to kneel. ”

The bright eyes lifted their eyes and looked at Uberto.

"You are the king of the snake people chosen by the father of snakes, and in this world, you are the closest to the father of snakes...... I know I don't have the strength to fulfill the responsibilities of a snake king, but I hope you can fulfill this responsibility well. ”

This snake-man princess, who looks more like a fish-man than a snake-man, seems to be unwilling in her words.

But Uberto didn't care about the subtle emotions of the snake princess in front of him, but thoughtfully, and then said jokingly.

"Are you willing to obey me just because of this natural reverence, and what if I make you take off your clothes now? ”

In Uberto's opinion, this nature seems to be the common nature of the entire undersea race, and the superior race has a natural sense of majesty over the lower race, and he has deeply felt this during his time at the bottom of the sea.

At the sight of his face, the handmaidens who behaved elegantly and politely could not help but turn pale and tremble, not because they were afraid of his appearance, but simply because there was an inexplicable sense of nervousness in their hearts that made them unable to restrain themselves when they saw the snake man. This is the case with almost all undersea races, and the lower races are naturally afraid of the superior races and are more likely to obey the orders of the superior races, the so-called "born unequal".

But most of the time, this sense of fear does not affect the decision-making of the lower races, the snake man civilization has gone through 34,000 years, a total of 520 kings, including the snake king of Ya'an Jemu, a total of 520 kings, of which there are only 479 snake kings, and the other 40 kings are all non-snake people, do you think these non-snake people are the snake people who took the initiative to give way?

As long as he has power in his hands, even the lower races dare to be ruthless.

In Uberto's eyes, in the face of his own little joke, the arrogant snake man princess in front of her was afraid that she would throw away angrily, but unexpectedly......

In front of him, Jaanjemu lowered her head, and Uberto could not see her face clearly, only that her hands seemed to be shaking, and after a long time, her arms were a little stiff on the ties of her clothes......

"Alright, you go, I'm just kidding. ”

Uberto, who had already noticed Ya'an Jemu's strange appearance, said directly, he didn't plan to really offend this former snake man king, and he still needed the help of this former snake man king in many places.

Ya'an Jemu's hand was lowered, he didn't look up at him, he didn't even say a word, he just turned his head and left, the slender fishtail body on the ground but unusually fast.

I'm angry.

Uberto thought so, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it, let alone apologize, he was not a good person with a flood of sympathy.

lowered his head and looked at the "Prophecy of the Void King" in front of him, which is a summary of the prophecies of many undersea prophets some time ago, although there are differences, but the content is roughly accompanied by the return of the Void King, and the end of the snake civilization is coming.

At this moment, the bottom of the sea is not as calm as in the palace, the palace is protected by the Venerable Council, so naturally there is no wind and waves, but many riots and fights have broken out in various states in the underwater world.

Before the Void King arrived, there was a problem within the snake people first.

Uberto, on the other hand, wondered what the Void King was, and what did it have to do with the Serpent Father?

It's not that he hasn't enjoyed the taste of power, he has already controlled the entire world for a time, if it weren't for the fear of the power of the Xunshan Hermitage, he has already begun to integrate the human beings of the entire earth, and he doesn't care about the power of this underwater world.

At the moment, he just wanted to get back to the earth as soon as possible to retrieve the statue, throw it into the volcano, and leave it to the last angel to deal with.

And at this moment, there was a sudden slight vibration and shaking under his feet.

What's going on? There was an earthquake.

His eyebrows furrowed slightly, there are many earthquakes in the underwater world, but this is Nanno City, a city protected by many steam machines, even if there is an earthquake, the shock-absorbing machinery under the ground is enough to eliminate it.

Suddenly, he realized that something was wrong with the light coming in from the window, and it seemed to dim. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky outside the palace......

There, the faint light emitted by the originally vast sky-like sky dome barrier was flickering inexplicably, gradually transforming into the red blood color, which was also a warning of some kind of danger......

......

Outside the Sky Dome Barrier, the dim seabed, was pitch black, without any light.

There was only soft seabed mud here, and the naked man's ankles were sunk in the dirt, and the feeling of skin touching the soft soil was not strange, but it was inexplicably familiar to him.

When did you feel that?

The man was silent, just quietly recalling a long memory.

There was a picture, or a feeling, of my ankle stuck in the mud, but I couldn't understand why, I just felt that the dirt seemed to be a living thing, so I grabbed my ankle.

What happened?

The man didn't remember much, but he vaguely remembered that he had fought the earth as an imaginary enemy, and finally one day, the son of Adam tore open the earth, killed the dragon that had been transformed into the mountains of the earth, and took the world's first seed from its lungs.

It was a cold, unforgiving world, with no vegetation on the ground, only the occasional behemoth that could feed the family that had left the Garden of Eden, and the seeds born from the dragon's body had unimaginable power, the most precious treasures of the time.

So, the man began to sprinkle the seeds on the surface of the earth, so that the life hidden deep in the earth could grow on the ground.

It toiled diligently, gradually spreading the green, and after that, plants grew on the ground, and only then did there grow more and more plant-eating beasts, and only then did his brother come to hunt them.

The brother said that he was a hunter and the man was a farmer, and that the earth was given to their parents by the Father and the serpent, and that it would be theirs, and that the farmer and the hunter would rule the land together.

What happened next?

It seems that what the brothers said at that time came true, and the farmer and the hunter did rule the land, but they did not rule the land together. Sedentary farmers hate nomadic hunters, and nomadic hunters don't like sedentary farmers.

Just like their children and grandchildren, so did their ancestors.

So, he killed him.

Standing in the darkness of the sea, the oldest murderer silently reminisces.

There was only deep sea mud under his feet, and there was no compartment, and the man knew that even if he dug thousands of miles down and all the way to the depths of the hot lava, he would not be able to dig where the man wanted to find it.

In the past, he used to think in the magma in the depths of the earth, when his body was wrapped in the hot magma, wandering in the depths of the earth, and finally ejected from the volcano.

But even after thinking about it for so long, he didn't know why he had been digging for so long, but he couldn't find any trace of those guys.

Until now...... It's only now that I finally know why.

Looking at the ground beneath his feet, the man opened his mouth, there was no air at the bottom of the sea and he couldn't speak, but he could vaguely make out the change in the shape of his mouth.

"So you're hiding here. ”

A calm face, speaking the ancient snake language used by the snake people before the ninth age.

Raise your fist as you did when you fought with the earth......

And then it fell.

In an instant, hundreds of billions of tons of seawater burst out with earth-shattering power, and a vast barrier designed to hide from a specific person crumbled......

"Boom !!"

In the stunned or frightened gaze of hundreds of millions of people, the vast heavenly dome barrier broke through a big hole, and a lot of seawater gushed out from the big hole, like a heavenly pillar pouring down into this underwater world that had not seen seawater for a long time.

......

Half a month later, while anxious to repair the Heavenly Dome Barrier, the Supreme Council asked the Serpent King to lead an army to defend against the attacking King of Unogaya.

For many reasons, Uberto had to choose to lead his army, but he vaguely realized that this seemed to be a good opportunity to leave the underwater world.

"Get ready to leave this world. ”

Through the built-in chip, Uberto used the signal that the snake people did not understand to speak calmly to the Robets father and daughter not far away.

Now the only problem is to deal with the "King of Unogaya", and Uberto, who has never led an army, is uneasy. Ya'an Jemu on the side noticed his uneasiness, his slender hands grasped him, and his calm eyes looked at Uberto, reassuring the king he had decided to assist.

Under the pacification of Ya'an Jemu, Uberto settled down a little, and glanced at the silent steel army and the huge air ships behind him, which made him feel a little more confident.

"In any case, an army of this size will not be able to meet any opponent even on the surface, and no matter how powerful the king of Unogaya is, he is only one person. ”

Thinking in his heart, Uberto's heart couldn't help but settle down.

"Let's go!"

With a wave of his arm, this unprecedentedly large army marched towards its destination like a fierce beast under his command.
