"Left by the God himself?"
Loxas Locke, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.
The moment his voice sounded, the others became even more silent.
"That's one possible explanation."
Nephia nodded. "Only marks and words left by pure divine power can withstand the test of time."
"But as the Dark God, it's almost unimaginable that he would leave a message and a portrait for an Easterner."
At this point, Nephia took a deep breath and spoke in her usual cold, neutral tone: "So, there's a second possibility."
"This guy from the East came to the West in the Mythic Era, learned the language of the gods here, and personally left that line."
"He might also be a god-level powerhouse, so both the words and the portrait have resisted time and seawater."
"But if that's the case, his identity becomes even more of a mystery."
No matter who left that line and portrait, countless ages have passed since then, but one thing is certain—the identity of this Easterner is anything but simple.
Nephia's remarks left the entire conference room in silence.
Loxas, whatever you do, you'd better not head East recklessly. You know how powerful the Hidden Dragon is over there—if you die in the East, it would be a huge loss for us.
That's all for now. Everyone, you're dismissed.
Loxas said nothing, and the lights in the conference room faded away.
Master Lin from Seacrest!
Loxas gnashed his teeth, his Blood Clan face even paler in the shadows. He clenched his fists, his expression fierce: 'I will make you pay!'
In the name of the Holy Lord of the Dark Sacred Court!
Oceanport City.
Roderic's body was completely erased by the Three Maiden Spirits.
The Three Maiden Spirits, now fully sated, returned to Evan Lin's Spatial Ring.
It's over. If anything happens again, just tell me directly—don't try to hide it.
Evan looked over at Faye Zheng, whose mind was still foggy. She stared at Evan, and at Liana Zheng's body, now completely shriveled.
The surroundings were in utter chaos.
I'm just a bit worried...
Faye Zheng murmured to herself, suddenly unsure what else to say.
She never expected that the guy Liana Zheng brought back could actually defeat Bi Mohai.
With Bi Mohai here and the Zheng family established in Oceanport City, nobody should have dared to target the Zhengs.
If Evan hadn't returned today, the entire Zheng family might have fallen. Just thinking about it made Faye Zheng shudder.
Thank you, Evan. We owe it all to you.
Old Madam Zheng's eyes reddened as she shakily walked up and patted Evan's shoulder. 'You weren't hurt just now, were you?'
I really never expected it... We raised Liana, and she actually brought outsiders to target our Zheng family.
When she came back, she only said she wanted half of the Zheng family's assets. Who could have guessed, in the end, she wanted our lives.
Old Madam Zheng looked heartbroken, but when she glanced at Liana Zheng's lifeless body, her gaze was still full of sorrow.
It's all over now. Please don't dwell on it.
Evan Lin offered a word of comfort.
And these two—after all the years our Zheng family raised the Changs, we ended up with traitors like them!
Old Master Zheng looked over at Jason Zheng, who was now kneeling on the ground, his face ashen.
Nearby, Frank Chang, who'd been struck by Loxas, was now lifeless.
I'm sorry, Grandpa! I'm sorry!
