CHAPTER 831: HER LARK

"Twentieth Rank... Emhardt, do you know any beings that can be classified at this stage?"

After the Death Lord left, Fisher, who had been lost in thought at the spot, finally turned his head to look at Emhardt beside him and asked. But before he spoke, Emhardt had already started flipping through the pages inside his belly. As bursts of golden light flashed by, he also became troubled,

"Hmm, in my impression, beings that humans can designate with this rank are probably the ultimate beings they can imagine. Just like that strange person who was resistant to death mentioned, this rank signifies the peak of living creatures... If divided like this, I can confirm there are four in total right now."

"Four?"

Fisher raised an eyebrow, obviously surprised by this result. He thought that even Emhardt wouldn’t know the clues about Twentieth Rank beings, but unexpectedly, he immediately listed four,

"Indeed, you know I was created by the great Holy Descendants, and in my impression, above the many Holy Descendants, there is an omnipotent leader, who the Holy Descendants generally revere as the [Heavenly Lock], who governs the entire Holy Land."

"And this Lord Heavenly Lock has two siblings; one is the mother of the Elf species, who are the arch-enemies of the Holy Descendants, that gigantic World Tree situated in the southern outer sea area of the East Continent; the tree roots beneath the Wutong Tree before belonged to her part; the other sibling of Lord Heavenly Lock is the Fermat Baha Dragon God, the creator of the Dragon-men on the South Continent; they all have intricate connections with the God of Hundred Forms, all can be associated with the Twentieth Rank beings."

"The last one is the God of Destruction from the Ocean, said to be very adept in fighting and destruction. Probably during the Mythical War thousands of years ago, this mysterious God of Destruction once acted on the East Continent; I strongly suspect the sinking of the East Continent is related to it... Hmm, as far as I know, these are the only four."

The God of Destruction from the Ocean?

Fisher suddenly thought of that mysterious ruin he saw at the bottom of Nali Lake. There, Fisher had gotten a clue called the [Crown of the Destructive God], and based on later clues, the one who left the clue at the ruin was most likely Moli’s mother, the Ocean Emperor Xuan Shen, who is the legendary God of Destruction.

To think of it this way, Xuan Shen, as a member of the whale-man species whose average rank is only about Tenth Rank, could leap to become a Twentieth Rank God of Destruction. This absurd situation left even Fisher somewhat dumbfounded. Even with an item like the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual, elevating the ranks before Mythical Level was slow, let alone after the vastly different Mythical Rank.

No wonder even the Contributor of the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual had complained before, about a very unsociable and irritable fellow suddenly appearing among a group of kind orcas. Turns out it was Xuan Shen they were talking about...

But the issue is, if Xuan Shen is a mythic creature adept at fighting, could she remove death for herself?

"God of Destruction... I think I know her, she is the mother of a whale-man girl who used to be a very close disciple of mine."

After saying the earlier words, Emhardt paused for a moment and muttered while curling his lips,

"Why be so courteous with me, it’s not like I’ve never met her, you could just say ex-girlfriend, it wouldn’t matter. But it’s the first time I’ve learned that the whale-man girl’s mother was actually the God of Destruction, named... Moli. Hmm, Fisher, I realize you’re quite bold too, daring to date the daughter of the God of Destruction, and after that went on to date others, you’re really brave!"

Suddenly he remembered, that on the Iceberg Queen, when sneaking out at night with Moli to meet Xuan Shen, Emhardt was sleeping in his room, so he had never seen the true form of the Ocean Emperor, the Ocean Destroyer in person.

Fisher couldn’t be bothered to explain any further to him, so he shifted the topic to remind Emhardt,

"...Continue talking about the other three Twentieth Rank existences."

The familiar golden glow from Emhardt didn’t pursue the matter further and continued to say,

"Well, the others... the World Tree vanished during the First Creature War, and all records about her were lost along with the sinking of the East Continent in the Second Life War, also called the Mythical War; I estimate she was caught by that He Ya; as for Lord Heavenly Lock, to be honest, although I think the great Holy Descendants haven’t completely disappeared and may still be hidden somewhere in the world, the probability that Lord Heavenly Lock still exists is very slim. Because records in Paimon mention a mixed battle between Lord Heavenly Lock, Fermat Baha Dragon God, and the God of Destruction; Fermat Baha left safely, but nothing was said about Lord Heavenly Lock..."

Fisher’s eyes flashed with a hint of gleam, suddenly said,

"...Wait a minute, I’ve been to the South Continent before, and I have never heard of any record about the demise of the Fermat Baha Dragon God. All the Dragon-men on the South Continent and I believe Fermat Baha is a fictional religious belief, which never mentioned the death of the Dragon God; do you have more classic texts about the Fermat Baha Dragon God in your belly?"

Emhardt nodded, and said,

"Yes, the Dragon-man Species during the Ancient Dragon Court period loved to celebrate the Fermat Baha Dragon God, creating many poetic works for him, and recorded his luxurious palace and magnificent form, which can be seen in many ruins on the South Continent; compared to the completely unrecorded Lord Heavenly Lock and the World Tree, Fermat Baha left far more records, maybe because the relationship between the Dragon-men and Fermat Baha was relatively harmonious...yet consistently, their poetry had never reported the fall of Fermat Baha up until the demise of the Dragon Court."
