397 Conundrum
Yuchi did not know who the woman in front of him was. He had never seen her before, but he could tell that this woman had a very strange aura. Furthermore, this woman should be quite strong. That being said, although she would be able to suppress him, he probably would be able to escape.
He stood on the surface of the sea.
The primordial sea, which had lost its sea heart, was now full of vitality. One could clearly feel the power of life emerging from within it. However, this power of life was not eternal. When another sea heart awakened one day, this power of life would become nourishment for the sea heart.
Yuchi stood in front of Yue Hanjiang, shielding her. He looked straight at the woman in front of him. There was some doubt in his eyes, but he did not take the initiative to ask any questions.
Then, the woman took the initiative to speak in a gentle tone, and there was no threat in her words.
“First off, please allow me to introduce myself. I hail from the Sea of Oblivion, and am a demigod realm cultivator.”
“I have two names, and the one talking to you now is called Hong Yan.”
“The other girl behind my head is called Hei Yan.”
“Sister, come out and greet this person.”
Then, before Yuchi could figure out the situation, the woman in front of him actually underwent some strange changes.
The woman suddenly had two extra arms. Originally, her two arms were facing forward, but now she had two more arms facing backward.
Soon after, there was a tearing sound, as if someone was tearing apart two lumps of flesh that were tightly intertwined.
This kind of sound was not pleasant to hear at all.
Then, there was another woman.
Another woman had walked out from this woman, which felt unbelievable.
“Hong Yan greets you.”
“Hei Yan greets you.”
The two women said at the same time. They looked like humans, but they did not look harmless at all. From the perspective of human aesthetics, the two women in front of them looked a bit scary.
There was a sense of uneasiness about them, both inside and outside, as if these two women had been dead for a long time and had been resurrected for some unknown reason.
However, Yuchi had already seen many strange races, so his ability to adapt to new situations was pretty good.
He bowed slightly to the two women politely, then briefly introduced himself and Hanjiang, who was beside him.
He did not expect to see a demigod in this place. He thought about it and realized that Cofuran had once mentioned the term ‘Sea of Oblivion’ some time ago, though she had not told him about it in detail.
Then, Hong Yan smiled and said to Yuchi, “We both did not expect that you would be able to obtain the Heavenly King seal in just a year.”
“It seems that the talent you have far surpasses our previous judgment. We thought you only came to this area to cultivate.”
Hei Yan continued on from where Hong Yan left off.
“After seeing your Heavenly King seal today, we are certain that you will become one of us in the future. You will definitely reach the Sea of Oblivion and explore the real mysteries of this world with us.”
“And you don’t have to worry about anything. Before you reach the demigod realm, the demigods of the Sea of Oblivion will not attack Dao heart realm cultivators. It will do us no good.”
“As for the reason why we sought you out this time, it was mainly to meet you and get to know you in advance. At the same time, if you have any doubts, you can ask us directly. I believe we can provide insights into many problems you might be facing or are curious about.”
“But of course, you don’t have to completely trust us.”
“After all, if we had a complete understanding of the world, we wouldn’t have been stuck at the demigod realm for so many years.”
The two of them spoke one after another. Although they were two people, there was no disconnect between them when they spoke. It was just like a normal conversation between two people instead of three people. It seemed that these two people were not only coexisting physically, but perhaps there was also a certain symbiotic soul relationship between them, but the specific situation was not clear for now.
Yuchi nodded slightly after hearing this. Since the other party came with good intentions, then he would directly ask them the questions he had been curious about.
“Thank you for your offer. I do have some questions. First of all, are Dao hearts useless once one reaches the demigod realm?”
The reason why Yuchi asked this question was very simple. Demigods should be very powerful.
Therefore, it should be a relatively simple matter for them to subdue the sea hearts in the primordial seas. As such, why were the demigods not going around doing so?
It was obvious that there was something wrong with this.
When he saw the two women suddenly smile, Yuchi was slightly stunned. Then, he also laughed in a relaxed manner. “Please forgive my earlier behavior. After all, most of the people I’ve encountered have been enemies. You both are among the few who have approached with friendly intentions.”
After Yuchi had left the human city, he had encountered too many enemies along the way.
He was well aware that there was a very basic rule in this world. If you stayed in your own race’s territory, no one would come to hurt you. However, once you left, it meant that you were a participant in the battlefield of the myriad races.
Killing each other was a very normal thing.
It was like the various plants in the forest fighting for the nutrients.
So why did the battles suddenly stop when one reached the demigod realm?
