After satisfying her hunger, Anina regained her spirits and played on the beach. She then plunged into the sea, claiming she wanted to exercise.
On the contrary, Ji Chen looked up at the flawless jade disk suspended amidst a sea of stars, relishing the exceptional and exquisite nighttime view on Earth.
With a splash –
Anina emerged from the water, her face filled with excitement, as if she had discovered something incredible.
“Lord! I heard the call of our kin!”

With the protection of the Sea Crystal Wyrm, Ji Chen and Anina sped underwater. Anina listened carefully, her ears tuned to the deep, sonorous song of the dragon whale.
Maybe it was a matter of desiring something elusive and stumbling upon something unexpected. While Anina was having a good time in the water, she unexpectedly heard the haunting cry of a deep-sea dragon whale.
Their dragon whale clan could communicate through these calls, able to hear the cries of their kin from thousands of miles away.
Initially, this might not appear particularly thrilling. Deep-sea dragon whales were loners, usually only gathering when a mother whale had newborns. Once the young ones matured, they would go their separate ways.
Perhaps this was just a solitary deep-sea dragon whale, making a few calls out of boredom to see if there were any others in the area.
However, Anina informed him that the call of this particular deep-sea dragon whale was incredibly ancient, slow, and hoarse – a sign that it was nearing the end of its life’s journey and about to embark on its eternal rest in the Abyss of the Dragon Whales.
If they could follow it, they would reach the Abyss of the Dragon Whales!
From feeling helpless to finding a way, it all happened in the blink of an eye, just as in the saying, “When you’re at your wit’s end, there’s a way out.”
Perhaps this aging deep-sea dragon whale, with its infrequent calls and slower pace, was their ticket to their destination.
As they ventured through the dimly lit waters, they finally spotted the aging deep-sea dragon whale.
It measured over thirty meters in length, and like its call, it appeared greatly aged, covered in wounds of various sizes. One particularly gruesome scar ran diagonally from its lower head to the rear of its abdomen, a testament to the battles it had once fought.
The deep-sea dragon whale seemed to have noticed Ji Chen and his companions and instinctively perceived them as threats. Its entire demeanor swiftly changed, emitting a long, battle-ready roar.
“Though I may be old, I’m not someone you can provoke. Let your blood paint the final chapter of my lifelong battles!”
With these words, it twisted its massive body and charged towards them.
Anina quickly explained, “I’m part of your clan!”
The aged deep-sea dragon whale froze in its tracks, gradually ceasing its movements. It stared at them with cloudy eyes, filled with confusion, and asked, “A young dragon whale?”
Anina’s face darkened as she replied, “I’m not that young anymore.”
The aged deep-sea dragon whale gave them another look, then nodded its massive head in acknowledgment. “Indeed, you’re not that young anymore. To reach your potential at such a young age, it seems you’ve had quite the opportunities.”
The dragon whale’s gaze was sharp, able to discern even that Anina had reached her potential. It must possess formidable strength.
Ji Chen squinted slightly.

A legendary-tier hero unit!
Level 69 was the highest level achievable for a legendary tier!
Ji Chen couldn’t help but marvel silently. The deep-sea dragon whale clan truly lived up to its reputation as a powerful marine race. Encountering one of them casually revealed such astonishing strength.
Solidus looked at Ji Chen beside Anina, a hint of confusion in his eyes. “A human capable of moving underwater? Quite rare…”
Seeing the conversation shifting toward him, Ji Chen politely introduced himself, “Sir Solidus, I am Ji Chen, the lord of Anina.”
Suddenly, the ancient deep-sea dragon whale erupted with an astonishing aura, its eyes filled with a self-imposing manner.. “A prestigious deep-sea dragon whale submitting to a mere human!? Absurd! Shameful!”
