Chapter 231: God’s Design

According to the information that Ye Chen had read before, the Human-Faced Snakes were transformed from the Human-Faced Birds that fell into the water and lost their wings during the first mutated beast war in the wilderness. Since they couldn’t return to the Sun Celestial Heavens, they found a way to transform themselves and live in the water.

Not only did this method change their appearance, but it also changed the attributes of their Spiritual Energy and even their race. The original divine birds turned into snakes. It could be said that they did not even dare to recognize their former kind.

Ye Chen also believed this saying at one point. However, after hearing Goulong’s words, he immediately realized the helplessness behind this phenomenon.

“Did the Heavenly God give up on the Human-Faced Snakes because the Divine Roc Race submitted to the Sun Celestial Heavens, so he let you stay there?” He interrupted and asked.

Goulong and Zhurong looked at him in shock.

!!

“The Heavenly God set a restriction back then, so my race has never spread the news. How did you know?” Goulong asked Ye Chen.

Ye Chen shrugged. “I guessed it. Just think about the situation in the two Divine Realms,” he replied. “If I’m not wrong, there should be more mutated beasts that weren’t taken back, right?”

Although the Sun Celestial Heavens’s representative was the Immortal Phoenix, there were dozens of races that participated in the first mutated beast war in the Wilderness. There were even mutated beasts that were not even S-Rank that had participated in it. Among them, those who were left behind because of injuries could not only be members of the Human-Faced Bird Race.

Goulong immediately nodded. “There are many, but in the end, only my race survived after adapting to the environment.”

This was completely within Ye Chen’s expectations. The Human-Faced Snakes had never spread the news. No wonder the system information given by the Titan God didn’t have any relevant content. However, this strange exchange of hostages did not seem new to Ye Chen.

The incompatible Sun Celestial Heavens and the Deep Sea Palace fought a huge battle. In the end, the two main forces that participated in the war actually combined to form the Divine Rocs. This was simply like slapping the faces of both sides.

However, there was the will of God guiding the war. Therefore, this merciless slap could be said to have directly hit the faces of the Heavenly God and the Twin Water Gods.

Although the Divine Rocs did not have a major flaw like Innate Mystic Abilities when they were born, their physical fitness was often extremely high. Moreover, they had two forms that could be transformed at will.

With such a talent, even if the mutated beasts of the new race had flaws, the gods on both sides would definitely not allow them to be taken in by the other realm.

However, the earliest batch of Divine Rocs immediately threw themselves into the arms of the Sun Celestial Heavens because of their preference for form. This was no different from giving the Deep Sea Palace another slap.

Back then, as long as the Twin Water Gods weren’t brainless, they would definitely request for a group of mutated beasts from the Sun Celestial Heavens to be kept as hostages to threaten the Sun Celestial Heavens not to attack again in the near future. These warriors from the Sun Celestial Heavens who had already lost their wings were their best choice at that time.

These mutated beasts had already lost their combat strength. The Heavenly God wouldn’t deliberately bring them back, and their range of activity was mostly near the Deep Sea Palace. The land was too dangerous for these crippled mutated beasts. At this moment, they would be more willing to accept the help of the old enemies of the Deep Sea Palace and enter the territory of the Twin Water Gods. They wouldn’t be able to cause any damage to the mutated beasts in the Water Palace.

And although the Twin Water Gods seemed to have brought back a batch of trash, even trash had their own relatives.

What they liked wasn’t the crippled mutated beasts themselves but the family network behind them.

The mutated beasts of the Sun Celestial Heavens were famous for their affinity. As a result, there was a clear relationship between the various races with the Immortal Phoenixes of the highest level as the center. The various mutated beasts of the Sun Celestial Heavens who valued this point would definitely weaken their hostility towards the Deep Sea Water Palace because their relatives were still alive.

After all, their relatives had received a secret order from the Heavenly God and “voluntarily” stayed in the Deep Sea Palace.

If the mutated beasts that couldn’t return to the Sun Celestial Heavens were still alive, the Deep Sea Palace would have absolute bargaining chips to prevent a war from happening. Even if it did, they would have ways to greatly reduce their disadvantages.

From the subsequent situation, this operation was indeed effective. The two Divine Realms had been peaceful for hundreds of years and even showed signs of intermarriage.

The Twin Water Gods also used their own methods to reach a balance of power with the Heavenly God and obtained the benefits they wanted with the help of these “hostages”. This was the design between gods. However, Ye Chen had already seen this countless times in human history.

The problem now was how the Human-Faced Snakes got involved with the Wind God that had died before the battle.

“Tell me clearly, how is it related to the Divine Rocs?” Zhurong clearly didn’t understand the situation and hurriedly asked Ye Chen and Goulong.

“You don’t have to know. Anyway, any race other than God can be considered a victim.” Ye Chen replied simply and blocked Zhurong’s question.

Although Goulong was a little shocked after hearing Ye Chen’s words, he quickly calmed down. He ignored Zhurong’s question and continued.

“That’s about it. Later on, we were left in the Deep Sea Palace, but because the environment couldn’t support our absorption of Spiritual Energy, everyone became very weak.” It continued to explain, “This directly caused everyone who stayed in the Deep Sea Palace to have shorter lifespans than before. During this period, everyone was looking for a way to extend their lifespans, but in the end, only the Human-Faced Snakes I was with received help.”

As it spoke, it approached the Divine Pillar.

In Ye Chen’s eyes, the current Divine Pillar was completely wrapped in the Wind Spiritual Energy in the Petrified Dragon Claw Grass. It was almost the same color as the one in Goulong’s meridians.

“While we were trying to change the attribute of our Spiritual Energy, we found the Divine Realm of the Wind God underwater and obtained the help of its remnant consciousness,” Goulong said.
