MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 577 - 65: Brief Peace

News of Lu Hong’s grand wedding spread across the Star Sea in just a few days, and the appearance of the god-beast alone was astonishing, but it was the cessation of the war by the two great empires that truly shocked everyone.

The Beastman Empire was actually willing to halt the advantageous situation at hand for the sake of Duke Di Ti’s wedding, granting the Human Race and the Snowy Region a chance to breathe?

It seemed the rumors were not unfounded; the empire’s Duke Di Ti was indeed the direct son of the Lion King Tai’e.

The peace brought about by the grand wedding made Lu Hong’s prestige soar to an insurmountable level, instilling awe in the common people. ƒгeewebnovёl_com

Thereafter, the latest news broke within the Sacred Empire: the ruler of the Endless Forest, the god-beast Di Ti, would assist humanity in clearing the beast tides plaguing various dimensions, helping those commoners return to their homes.

All these achievements were the merit of Duke Di Ti!

In the eyes of many, Lu Hong was practically being deified. Having come back from the dead, and upon his return immediately quelling the disaster, if this wasn’t a miracle, then what was?

Therefore, many young powerhouses were moved by the reputation and gathered spontaneously in Inner River City, swearing to follow Lu Hong and become his followers.

Of course, Lu Hong could not possibly agree. Hastily concluding his honeymoon that lasted less than a week, he bid farewell to Anna with apologies.

"My man is a great hero, go ahead, I will be waiting for your return." Anna knew Lu Hong’s nature very well; although she didn’t want him to leave, she couldn’t stop him and let go, albeit reluctantly.

After saying goodbye to Anna, Lu Hong went to Goldriss and met with Konstantin once again.

"You’re here this time?"

Lu Hong had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Konstantin: "Don’t rush, let me guess, you’re here for Danni, aren’t you?"

"Hmm." Lu Hong didn’t deny it: "How is Danni now?"

"Tsk tsk." Konstantin shook his head disapprovingly: "Just married not even a month, and you’ve left your own wife to come here looking for another woman. Wouldn’t anyone’s heart feel cold?"

"I’m sure your heart doesn’t feel cold. Tell me, how many do you have in your harem? Come on, count for me, let me learn from you."

"Don’t compare with me, I damn it am an Emperor, I have to cultivate future heirs for the empire. I need to cultivate several and select the best, otherwise how can I live up to the future of the Human Race?"

"Heh." Lu Hong gave a cold laugh, but from Konstantin’s tone, Danni should be safe, and Lu Hong was reassured.

"However," the next second, Konstantin’s tone changed: "Recently, Danni might be having a tough time."

"Speak."

Konstantin pulled out a document from a stack of thick reports and threw it into Lu Hong’s arms: "According to the latest news transmitted back by the Brahmin, Caesar is now fleeing in the southeastern dimension, seemingly looking for traces of the Netherworld. The Seven Towers had multiple confrontations with him, all cleverly resolved by Caesar. Not only that, he took advantage of Red Beard’s concern for the deity Su Yu, broke through their skills, and the backlash forced the Seven Towers to temporarily cease their pursuit. Among them, Danni, in order to protect the Seven Towers’ strength to a greater extent, voluntarily took on more of the backlash and was the most severely injured Tower Master."

Seeing Lu Hong start to get agitated, Konstantin quickly said: "Don’t be anxious, she’ll recover after some more rest. It’s not a fatal injury, but for now, the Seven Towers will have to put off their pursuit of Caesar."

After hearing Konstantin’s account, Lu Hong read through the letter transmitted back by the Brahmin carefully before he could finally settle his worries. He then asked Konstantin: "Do you know where Lock Fan is?"

"Who is Lock Fan?" Konstantin was taken aback, it seemed he hadn’t heard of him.

"My brother, an underling from long ago."

Konstantin gave Lu Hong a look: "Do you think I’m your nanny, keeping track of every person around you?"

"Then help me check where he is now. Caesar’s daughter should be with him; she might be aware of Caesar’s purpose."

"You mean Princess Lai Li? I know of her; she has returned to the sea to seek a way to dispel the corruption of evil forces. Your brother Lock Fan is likely the man with her."

Speaking of the Sea Domain, Lu Hong couldn’t help but bring up the Naga Sea Tribe again, "After my death, how was the situation with the Sea Tribe handled?"

"Not so well," Konstantin shook his head. "The ocean is too vast, and the Sea of the Divine Blessing seems not to be purely existing in the current plane. I had people investigate carefully and found that the Sea Domain seemed to have countless dimensional fragments fallen into it."

"I searched with the assistance of sea demon beasts for half a year and couldn’t find a trace of the remaining Naga. This is quite strange, so I deployed a large military force in the six cities nearest to the turret fortresses, including Inner River City, both to defend against the attacks of the Beastman Empire and to ward off any counterattacks from those remaining Sea Tribes."

"Does that mean those remaining Sea Tribe members are all hiding within the Sea Domain’s dimensional fragments?"

Konstantin nodded. "It seems so. If they intend to seal off the fragmented planes, even Vili admits it would be difficult to detect them."

"It’s not bad to be cautious against the Sea Tribe." Lu Hong shared his conversation with the Furious Sun God, and Konstantin furrowed his brow at the mention of the Sea Tribe’s ’Searchers of the Sea,’ calling for the Empire’s Archives Manager.

The manager was an elderly man with a full head of white hair, probably the first time he had been summoned by Konstantin for questioning, which excited him. He was about to kneel but was stopped.

"Please, stand and talk; I’d hate to see you kneel yourself out of existence."

"My lord, thank you for considering my well-being," the manager replied with a face full of smiles. "I’m still quite fit and healthy, no trouble at all."

"No need for formalities. Tell me, have you ever heard of the Sea Tribe’s Searchers of the Sea?"

The elderly gentleman, truly befitting of the Archives Manager of the Sacred Empire, immediately responded to Konstantin’s question, "To respond to your Majesty, the information about the Searchers of the Sea is recorded in Volume Eight of the Empire’s Annals, within the documents on the Sea Tribe."

"Explain in detail," Konstantin was very satisfied with the response and continued his inquiry.

"According to the records, there were eighteen Searchers of the Sea, who were the eighteen disciples of the Sea God. Each possessed formidable strength, and the top five had even reached the God Realm, being regarded as the inheritors of the Sea God. However, for some unknown reason, all eighteen Searchers disappeared into the long river of history, but their legacies were inherited by the Sea Tribe and formed eighteen new clans, holding powerful influence within the Sea Tribe."

After listening to the old man’s account, Konstantin waved his hand, indicating he could step down.

He then turned to Lu Hong. "You’re right, the Sea Tribe may still have stronger forces in reserve."

"We must be vigilant."

"But I can’t figure it out," Konstantin furrowed his brow and pondered. "If the Sea Tribe has eighteen strong clans, then why didn’t they help the Naga Queen to attack the Empire and completely conquer this continent?"

"Who should I ask if you ask me?" Lu Hong said with a shrug. "We’ll slowly investigate this matter. If I can encounter the Lightfish again, perhaps I could learn some useful information."

"Lightfish?"

"One of the Sea Tribe powerhouses, not an ally of the Naga Queen."

Konstantin nodded. "Fortunately, the Sea Tribe is not united; otherwise, the Sacred Empire might have truly faced extinction."

"Don’t celebrate too soon. How should we end the war with the Beastman Empire now?"

"You would have to ask Tai’e. Why ask me?" Konstantin chuckled. "You shouldn’t be stopped from finding Tai’e now, after all, he’s your father."

"Can’t we just surrender the Abyss of Extreme Demons to the Beastman Empire? Do we have to fight?" Lu Hong put forward his suggestion.

But Konstantin immediately rejected it. "Are you joking? Do you know how much the Abyss of Extreme Demons enhances demon beasts?"

"I don’t know," Lu Hong genuinely wasn’t aware. Although he possessed the bloodline of the Lionheart, it seemed not to be influenced by the aura of the Abyss of Extreme Demons.

"That allure is just like a drug, except it doesn’t harm the body unlike drugs. Do you think the Beastman Empire could resist such temptation? Moreover, the key point is that the aura of the Abyss of Extreme Demons acts as a sublimation of life for demon beasts, allowing them to break through their own limits, even reverse evolution." Konstantin’s gaze deepened. "You might not have read the Empire’s classics. The introductions there about the Beastmen during the Era of the Gods, that strength—like sheep slaughtering humans— you can’t imagine it."

Indeed, Konstantin couldn’t allow time to rewind to the Era of the Gods, the time when the Beastmen dominated alone.

Compared to the Era of the Gods, although the Beastman Empire was strong back then, they lacked a sense of development and lagged thousands of years behind the Human Race in exploring the Star Sea. That was precisely why the Human Race had a chance to catch their breath and recuperate, and they were the first to explore the Abyss of Extreme Demons, sealing it, and cutting off the Beastman Empire’s source of strength, securing the right for future generations of the Human Race to live equally within the Divine Blessing Plane.
