In the deep and dark Sea Emperor Palace, although Lin Feng appeared calm, he was actually secretly on guard.
He could tell that the two sea beast emperors did not have a good impression of him. If the Sea Emperor had not “invited” Lin Feng, the two sea beasts would probably have attacked long ago.
After the two sea beasts brought Lin Feng to the hall of the Sea Emperor Palace, they turned around and left.
Lin Feng did not dare to move, however, because he sensed a terrifying aura.
He looked up and saw a massive thing in front of him through the dim light. To be precise, it was a head!
This head was simply too huge. It was so huge that even when Lin Feng used the Tidal Combat Body, his head was far inferior to this head. Moreover, from the corner of his eye, Lin Feng saw that behind the head was something that seemed like the body of a huge snake, but was covered in dense gray scales.
The body was incomparably bulky, and it was coiled layer upon layer in the Sea Emperor Court.
His Majesty the Sea Emperor’s body was entrenched in a huge hole.
As for how long the body was?
Lin Feng could not estimate it at all, but he was certain that it was definitely not inferior to his three-kilometer combat body, and might even be larger!
In particular, Lin Feng sensed a trace of lethal danger from the other party. It was the most dangerous entity Lin Feng had encountered since his third life transition. Even Dongfang Sheng was far inferior to it.
For a moment, Lin Feng was even prepared to use the Spear of Destruction immediately. Without it, Lin Feng would not even feel safe standing here.
“You are the Sea Emperor?” Lin Feng looked at the massive body and asked with his mental power.
“Human, you can call me the Sea Emperor. Which civilization is it now?”
The Sea Emperor’s voice sounded directly in Lin Feng’s mind. In terms of mental power alone, the Sea Emperor’s mental power was even stronger than Lin Feng’s.
However, Lin Feng was even more surprised that the Sea Emperor actually asked about the number of civilizations. It had to be known that even the other Sages of humanity only knew about ancient civilizations, but they did not know about the number of civilizations.
There was not even such a concept.
Lin Feng also learned from Longbetham that many civilizations had once existed in this world, but they had all been destroyed.
“Your Majesty, this is the ninth civilization!”
“The ninth civilization? How fast. In the blink of an eye, it’s already the ninth civilization…”
The Sea Emperor’s voice seemed filled with emotion, but it was not unexpected.
“You have the Spear of Destruction on you, right?”
The Sea Emperor’s sudden words shocked Lin Feng.
How did the Sea Emperor know that he had the Spear of Destruction?
It had to be known that this Spear of Destruction was his greatest trump card!
Seemingly sensing Lin Feng’s nervousness and vigilance, the Sea Emperor shook his huge head and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t snatch your Spear of Destruction. Moreover, the Spear of Destruction would only choose its own master. No one can take it by force! Since it has chosen you, you are its master.”
“Your Majesty, how do you know about the Spear of Destruction?”
“It’s very simple. The Spear of Destruction was once Master’s weapon! My Master, the supreme king of gods of the first civilization, the God King of Destruction in charge of annihilation!”
“The first civilization, the God King of Destruction?”
Lin Feng was dumbfounded. He had heard of the God King of Destruction, but that was only a legend surrounding the Spear of Destruction in the second civilization. As for whether a God King of Destruction had really existed in history, even Longbetham had no idea.
After all, this involved the first civilization. Longbetham did not know either.
“Your Majesty, are you a lifeform from the first civilization?”
“That’s right. In the first civilization, we called it the Godfiend Civilization, and some called it the Primordial Civilization! In that era, you would never have imagined that there were countless lifeforms like me. As for my master, the great God King of Destruction, as he obtained the Spear of Destruction and comprehended the annihilative power within it, he became the king of gods and the ruler of the entire world!”
The Sea Emperor seemed to long deeply for that era.
“Then, how was the first civilization destroyed?”
Lin Feng was also very nervous. All along, the first civilization seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious veil. No one could unveil the veil of the first civilization and pry into its secrets.
And now, this Sea Emperor was practically a living fossil. He was a lifeform of the first civilization in the first place, so he must know a lot about the first civilization.
“That was a magnificent era. There were countless great lifeforms, but do you know that it was also an incomparably tragic era? All lifeforms were actually just pawns.”
“Pawns?”
Lin Feng was inwardly shocked.
“That’s right, manipulated pawns! You should know about the Canopy in the sky, right? It still hasn’t dissipated until now. It’s protecting this world, but isn’t it also imprisoning the living beings of this world?”
“The one who set up the Canopy was the Celestial Master, a great entity that had never appeared, but truly existed! He created this world, created countless living beings, and treated countless living beings as experimental subjects. He created countless gods and demons, and innumerable powerful living beings. All this was for the birth of a planetary lifeform with six life transitions that surpassed all previous powerful lifeforms!
“My master, the God King of Destruction, obtained the Spear of Destruction. He had preliminary control over the annihilative power and slowly understood the Celestial Master’s plan. Unfortunately, so what if he knew? He still couldn’t escape the fate of a pawn in the end. Moreover, the Celestial Master created a monster, the Behemoth of Armageddon! It was born to destroy everything. That was a calamity. If we couldn’t stop the Behemoth of Armageddon, the entire world will be destroyed.
“My master, the God King of Destruction, led the gods to fight the Behemoth of Armageddon! In the end, the entire world was almost destroyed. Master used the Spear of Destruction at the cost of his life to severely injure the Behemoth of Armageddon. From then on, the Behemoth of Armageddon fell into a deep slumber. Every time the Behemoth of Armageddon was about to awaken, the Spear of Destruction would appear. Only the Spear of Destruction could severely injure the Behemoth of Armageddon.
“From the first civilization to the second civilization, and even the third, fourth, and finally the eighth civilization after that, every civilization was destroyed. However, at the same time, the appearance of the Spear of Destruction would also deal a heavy blow to the Behemoth of Armageddon, causing it to continue slumbering. The cycle repeats.”
The Sea Emperor’s voice was low and infectious.
Without any unnecessary embellishment, Lin Feng was already deeply immersed in the story told by the Sea Emperor. Even though he had imagined and speculated about the grandeur of the first civilization, he never expected there to be such a story.
This story was so magnificent and surreal that even Lin Feng found it somewhat incredible.
However, Lin Feng’s intuition told him clearly that all of it was very likely true!
