CHAPTER 471: CHAPTER 327: THE WORLD IN OUTCRY, A LOFTY POSITION

The entire Atlantis was agitated.

All were shocked.

At this moment, everyone was certain that Xu Gu had truly become the ’Regent King’ of the Mermaid Clan!

Not only was he not guilty, but his power was also overwhelming!

He became the most prestigious existence within the Mermaid Kingdom!

He could even decide the selection of the new king!

Is there anything more dreamlike than this?

Please, Xu Gu had killed your king’s son! You spared him, and now you actually plan to bring him back to be the lofty Regent King?

Just because he produced the Heart of the Ocean?

This felt as if a beggar had spent a night with a princess, who should have been dismembered and her family executed, yet not only were they spared, but the beggar also became the emperor’s most trusted guest, helping to manage the harem.

The main point is it’s absurd!

They obviously couldn’t understand the Mermaid Clan’s obsession and fervent reverence for the Mermaid’s Tears and the Heart of the Ocean.

"This Xu Gu is too demonic!"

"Don’t mess with him!"

"My god Xu Gu, truly awesome! A god forever!"

"You can always trust God Xu Gu!"

Everyone was abuzz with discussion.

Those who supported Xu Gu were naturally excited and once again revered Xu Gu as a God. Those who were against Xu Gu and disliked him were of course very frustrated and extremely fearful at this moment.

"What?"

Inside the palace, Witch Clan’s Saintess Lin Xuanji was shocked, thoroughly shocked, almost smashing the holographic projection screen in front of her, dancing and clawing frantically.

Clearly, she could not accept this outcome.

Although she didn’t think Xu Gu would die, she believed he would be desperately fleeing everywhere in a very embarrassing manner, just like Saint Zhou now.

Who would have thought, Xu Gu rose meteorically instead!

He became the hottest existence in the Mermaid Kingdom.

At this moment, she suddenly felt some fear!

Is Xu Gu really just a commoner from the Human Clan?

This connection, why does it feel even stronger than hers?

She wanted power in the Mermaid Kingdom, she needed to find the Queen of Naga and cooperate with her so she could have a certain degree of influence among the upper echelons of the Mermaid Clan.

And now, the contemptible Xu Gu she looked down upon, who was deemed of lowly origin, directly became a high-ranking official in the Mermaid Clan.

Easily stepping over others.

"I can’t match his talent, nor his strength, and now not even background? Then who is the lowly one?"

Lin Xuanji was very demoralized, her Dao Heart wavering.

"Saintess, why belittle yourself so unnecessarily? Even if he defies the natural order, so what? He’s still from the Human Clan! Born with flaws! Once the God’s Chosen Tide starts, becoming the Chosen One, he will undoubtedly have a short life and die young!

"At that time, just avoid him a bit, and naturally, he will be worn out to death!"

Qiushui consoled on the side.

"Yes, in the past millennium, the reason the Human Clan could withstand our attacks was because we did not understand their Chosen One. Such a serious flaw means they’re destined not to perish! Now that we understand, dealing with them is exceedingly simple."

The Fire King said gravely.

Although he was also shocked by Xu Gu’s defiance of the heavens.

He stated he had never seen such a talented genius.

Even the Yang God, who was believed to be the most likely to challenge the True God, seemed not as good as Xu Gu.

But Xu Gu is ultimately from the Human Clan!

The flaw of the Chosen One’s short life is too severe. It also meant the Human Clan could not be powerful!

Qiushui immediately nodded, his face revealing a ferocious look, saying:

"Besides, he only holds a prestigious position because he possesses the Heart of the Ocean. He has no foundation in the Mermaid Clan.

"The power holders within the Mermaid Kingdom, who would submit to him? Respect on the surface, but they must be extremely resistant in secret.

"Even, he might end up missing!"

Lin Xuanji’s beautiful face showed less panic.

Seeing this, Qiushui took the opportunity to press the point: "Moreover, the Queen of Naga has been operating in the Mermaid Kingdom for nearly a thousand years, her forces are well-established. How could a Xu Gu, who only has prestige, possibly disrupt that?"

"It makes sense."

Lin Xuanji regained her composure, acknowledging that she was previously startled by Xu Gu. Now, having collected herself, her eyes burned with fierce determination, and she spoke with a chilling smile:

"I indeed overlooked this point.

"Those princes and princesses, they’re not easy targets. They’ve spent countless efforts to become the king, how could they possibly let an inexplicably emerged ’Regent King’ from the Human Clan snatch their ultimate fruit?"

At this point, her confidence was restored, her smile radiant, and her prideful aura spread out:

"Go meet the Queen of Naga!"

...

"Indeed."

Zhao Zhonghuang, who had been exiled by Saint Zhou in the Time-Space Turbulence, couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief upon receiving this outcome.

His previous worries completely vanished.

This turned into praise for Xu Gu.

"I knew it, I wasn’t wrong about him; the divine selection wave for the Human Clan will be initiated by him." Zhao Zhonghuang’s eyes sparkled, filled with anticipation.

For once the divine selection wave starts, he will undoubtedly become a Chosen One.

And a Chosen One becoming a God is certain!

Unless, he falls prematurely.

As for, Chosen Ones having a very short life?

Those are matters for later.

First, become a God!

...

"Boom!"

As the crowd was shocked, gossiping, and clamoring.

Suddenly, the sky changed drastically, a vast blood cloud enveloped the heavens, and merciless thunderbolts that seemed capable of cleaving mountains struck down.

The atmosphere of slaughter around was intensely dense.

In an instant, this place turned from a Purgatory into a critical area of the Thunder Pool.

Some unlucky creatures were directly struck by the thunderbolts, turning into waste.

"What is this?" The four Mermaid Clan lords from east, west, north, and south suddenly looked up, their faces full of surprise and shock.

Without thinking, they knew, a treasure had emerged.

Sure enough, they saw a drop of pale blue liquid, as beautiful as a star, falling from the sky.

Inside it, countless Thunder Dragons roamed.

With the arrival of this pale blue liquid, the surrounding environment turned pale blue, and the thunderbolts grew more ferocious.

On the scattered corpses and remains on the ground, dense black energy seeped out, surging towards this pale blue liquid.

The four Mermaid lords hadn’t even had the chance to snatch it, when the projection of the Death Spirit Thunder was already caught in Xu Gu’s hand.

"Heaven-sent opportunity, aiding your clan in quelling the internal strife, a sign that the heavens want to prosper your Mermaid Kingdom."

Xu Gu calmly stored away the projection of the Death Spirit Thunder, speaking to the lords.

...

The four ancient ancestors of the Mermaid Clan twitched their mouths, feeling Xu Gu’s shamelessness.

Did he really think we didn’t know how this treasure appeared?

Clearly, it was summoned by deliberately causing slaughter!

And in your mouth, it turns so grand and magnificent!

So, it turns out, all this was within Xu Gu’s expectations! Saint Zhou’s setup was entirely for Xu Gu, and they, the Mermaid Clan, were the ones who were duped.

Shameless, indeed!

It wasn’t just them; others present also heard this sanctimonious rhetoric.

Indeed, putting aside righteousness, Xu Gu is still Xu Gu, the crafty and unprincipled one!

"We came in a hurry and still have matters to attend to, so we won’t stay any longer. Later, there will be high-level officials from the kingdom to welcome the esteemed Lord Xu to stay at the palace."

East lord gathered his thoughts and spoke very respectfully to Xu Gu.

They could tell Xu Gu wanted to refine this treasure undisturbed, and they didn’t want to grovel before Xu Gu, so they simply suggested leaving.

"Safe travels," Xu Gu said indifferently.

After sending these several Mermaids off, Xu Gu said to Sun Xinglan, "Clear the area; I want to enter seclusion."
