But when the world government leaders saw those ancient sea kings that blotted out the sky and were over 5000 meters tall, they were not only filled with a soul-deep fear of these colossal creatures, but also deeply shocked.
It was the appearance of these ancient sea kings that made them believe in the identity of the messenger of the gods.
In their view, only gods have the power to control these terrifying creatures.
Of course, some leaders also connected the information to the records and legends within their family's power, recognized these ancient sea kings, and guessed the identity of the 'messenger of the gods' before them.
But instead of exposing him, they tacitly accepted his identity as the 'messenger of God'.
Because the world governments today do indeed need such a force to help them achieve victory in war.
As long as it helps them achieve victory in the war, and as long as the power displayed by the 'messenger of God' is available, then his true identity is no longer important.
Afterwards, with the help of the power of the 'Messenger of God', the World Government finally gained the upper hand in the war.
The Great Kingdom naturally recognized the so-called 'messenger of the gods' as the mastermind behind the ancient sea kings' attack on their island, who was also the traitor of the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom—the Im lineage.
Without any hesitation, the Great Kingdom directly activated the powers of Hades and Uranus to counter the power of Poseidon held by the Im lineage.
Under the cataclysmic power of Pluto, Uranus, and Neptune, the surrounding seas and continents were terribly affected.
Some islands and continents even collapsed and sank directly under their power.
Pluto and Uranus are ultimately man-made weapons. Even though they are incredibly powerful, each use of them requires a huge amount of resources.
However, the Sea Kings who can manipulate ancient sea monsters are different.
With the balance of power shifting, the Great Kingdom was ultimately defeated and withdrew from the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, and even from the Red Earth.
The World Government and the Im lineage naturally wouldn't let the Great Kingdom off the hook and continued their pursuit.
Gradually, the great kingdom began to fall apart.
During the disintegration, the Great Kingdom secretly sealed away Pluton and Uranus to prevent them from falling into the hands of the World Government and the Im faction.
Furthermore, they had the Kozuki clan create signposts pointing to their existence, so that future generations would have the opportunity to rise up and fight back.
With the disintegration of the great kingdom, this war that had lasted for decades finally came to an end.
After the war ended, the Im lineage, with its demonstrated power and status as 'messengers of God,' became the behind-the-scenes rulers of the World Government.
At the suggestion of Im's lineage, the twenty heads of kingdoms and their descendants began to identify themselves as Celestial Dragons.
Afterwards, in order to consolidate their rule, the Im lineage used the power of the World Government to gradually erase the traces of the Great Kingdom and the existence of the gods, creating a blank history.
The descendants of the original Celestial Dragons of the Great Kingdom were naturally unwilling to accept this outcome, but they had no power to resist. They could only secretly create historical records that documented this blank period of history and scatter and hide them in various parts of the world.
They also changed their names and began a new life of forbearance.
In order to ensure that the bloodline of the original Celestial Dragons would not be cut off, they added the letter 'D', symbolizing the Celestial Dragons, to their changed names.
Thus, the D clan was born.
......
Chapter 673 Burial, the Desire for Immortality!
Time flows by like a torrent.
In the course of time, Chen Anxia witnessed several major events of the era.
The fall of the great kingdom.
The birth of the Poneglyphs.
The birth of a pseudo-Celestial Dragon.
The birth of the D clan.
......
During this passing time, Chen Anxia found Zou, who was searching for herself alone in the sea, and took Zou to a fantastical world.
However, neither Chen Anxia nor Zou knew that a few years after Zou left Elephant Island, a Natallida elephant named Zinisha followed in Zou's footsteps and went to sea as well.
Znesha's mother died when Znesha was very young.
Before passing away, Zinya's mother told him, in order to give him the motivation and purpose to live, that the legendary elephant Zou was his father, and that Zinya should go and find his father when he grew up.
The naive Zinisha always remembered his mother's dying words and believed that Zou was his father.
As he grew a little older, Zinisha learned of Zou's deeds from the elephant tribe.
Feeling the power of Zou and his own weakness, and remembering his mother's dying wish, Zinisha resolved to set sail to find his father.
Zinisha had no idea what kind of impact his voyage would have on the world.
Before we knew it, several decades had passed.
Chen Anxia still walks on the sea, his appearance still the same as it was decades ago.
The reason for this is that, for Chen Anxia's original body, only a few years have passed in the fantasy world.
On this day, Chen Anxia, who was walking on the sea, suddenly stopped, receiving the will of his true self, and murmured, "It's almost time..."
Without any hesitation, Chen Anxia changed direction and sped off towards a certain place.
Chen Anxia was so fast that ordinary people couldn't even see him clearly, and he even left a trail of splashing waves in the sea.
Kingdom of Dressrosa.
Inside the royal palace, the royal family that rules the Kingdom of Dressrosa is shrouded in sorrow and grief.
The reason for this is that the current king of Dressrosa is nearing the end of his life.
This current king of the Dressrosa Kingdom, one of the twenty kings who established the World Government, is a witness to the creation of the Red Line and the World Government by the god Chen Anxia.
Without a doubt, the current king of Dressrosa is a ruthless and ambitious figure. He led Dressrosa to prosperity and was even chosen by Chen Anxia to become one of the original twenty kingdoms of the World Government.
Back then, the current king of Dressrosa was also one of the ambitious figures who advocated for war against the Great Kingdom.
However, even the most powerful figures eventually grow old.
Realizing that his life was coming to an end, the current king of Dressrosa felt the fear of death.
At the same time, he also felt a strong sense of resentment; he was reluctant to give up everything he had now.
But he understood how useless and powerless everything he possessed now—including money, power, status, and so on—was in the face of death.
In order to survive, he devoted all the resources of his kingdom to searching for the Kingdom of God, hoping to enter the Kingdom of God and obtain eternal life.
As for the outcome, it was already predetermined.
Because Chen Anxia's fantastical otherworld exists in relation to the main world, creatures from the main world may accidentally wander into it.
But this does not mean that entering Chen Anxia's fantastical world will grant him immortality.
Although the time flow in the fantasy world is only a fraction of that in the main world, time still keeps turning in the fantasy world.
This also means that if your lifespan comes to an end, even if you are lucky enough to accidentally enter Chen Anxia's fantastical otherworld, you will only die in a different place, and the ending will not change.
In fact, Chen Anxia had considered changing the laws of the fantasy world to make immortality possible within it.
But the laws of life and death are more difficult to alter than time itself, and even Chen Anxia could not succeed.
......
Inside the king's palace, the current king of the Kingdom of Dressrosa was on his deathbed.
On his deathbed, he was still unable to let go of his desire to live, as well as his ambition for money, power, and status.
His children and relatives stood by his bedside, their faces filled with sorrow.
Despite the efforts of the most renowned physicians in the Kingdom of Dressrosa to prolong the king's life, they knew that even if they could extend it further, they could not do so much longer.
Wang himself knew this, but his intense resentment turned into an obsession, causing him to murmur intermittently and laboriously, "God... eternal... kingdom..."
His children and relatives all knew of the king's obsession and how mad he was before his death.
Although they were unable to witness the birth of the Red Line, the birth of the World Government, or the existence of the Kingdom of God.
However, many of them personally witnessed Chen Anxia's arrival in the kingdom.
They were well aware that the immense power Chen Anxia displayed was beyond the reach of humankind.
Therefore, they believed that the Red Earth Continent was created by Chen Anxia, and that Chen Anxia was the true god.
Naturally, they also believed in the existence of the Kingdom of God.
However, they did not believe that their king could find the kingdom of the gods.
Leaving aside how illusory the Kingdom of God is, the fact that their king colluded with the Im lineage to erase the truth that God truly existed in the world, causing God to exist only in legends, already sealed their fate.
Suddenly, they noticed that pure white feathers were slowly drifting down into the room.
Amidst the pure white feathers, their consciousness gradually faded into darkness.
Pfft!
Pfft!
.......
Amidst the thuds of people falling to the ground, it was clear they had already fallen into a deep sleep, unresponsive even to the pain of their fall.
If any ninja from the Naruto world were here, they would surely recognize that the suddenly appearing white feather is an A-rank genjutsu - Nirvana Abode Technique.
In the original story, Kabuto Yakushi used this technique during the Chunin Exams to put a group of ninjas into a deep sleep.
Of those present, only Wang remained unaffected.
At the same time, as if in a final burst of energy, Wang miraculously got up from the bed and slowly knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, saying, "God, please forgive my sins and guide me into the Kingdom of God."
Standing calmly before the king, Chen Anxia said in a devoid of emotion, "You have not atoned for your sins, so how can you forgive me?"
"Don't linger any longer. With gratitude and honor, let me personally bury you."
......
Chapter 674 The First Great Swordsman of the Fallen God Era!
After an unknown amount of time, the effects of the Nirvana Abode technique wore off.
After the Nirvana Abode spell was lifted, the royal family members present quickly discovered that the king, who should have been lying in his sickbed, had disappeared without a trace.
