Chapter 606: Kingdom of the SeaZhang Lie clasped his palms behind his back and calmly watched the horde of peak-grade lifeforms moving toward him. The swarm of lifeforms was so large that it blanketed the ocean in the blink of an eye, but Zhang Lie still had no intention of stepping forward. He continued watching the sight calmly.
And since Zhang Lie didn't attack the horde, neither did the members of Team Zenith. They huddled around Zhang Hanxiang and waited for Zhang Lie to make a move.
Right before the peak-grade lifeforms were about to overwhelm the members of Team Zenith, a crisp, clear female voice called out, "Halt!"
The voice didn't sound demanding at all, but the entire horde of lifeforms stopped short. The voice was pleasant and melodious, so much so that it almost sounded synthetic or electronic.
A gigantic lifeform emerged from among the pack, one hundreds, possibly thousands, of meters tall. It was so large it took up about five or six soccer fields' worth of space.
The lifeform seemed to be an enlarged form of a whale, and standing atop the whale's head was a young girl. Compared to the whale, she was minute, but her existence was unmissable.
"Mister!" The girl leapt off the gigantic lifeform toward Zhang Lie, spreading her arms wide open as she fell atop him. Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ NʘvᴇlFirᴇ.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.
The sunlight reflected her pale skin and rainbow-colored hair and eyes. She looked resplendent.
Waves smashed against the shore and retreated back toward the sea. Zhang Lie stretched out his hands and caught the girl in mid-air, who curled up in his arms.
Zhang Hanxiang seemed a little jealous. "Brother, just who is this girl?"
Zhang Lie gently let the girl down. "She's my general of the seas, Zhu."
Sun Mengmeng walked up to them. "Captain, I didn't know that the kingdom of Limit had any naval forces!"
Zhang Lie shrugged. "I constructed it in secret. In theory, it's just in case we ever need to fend off naval forces in the future, but in practice, they just help feed livestock in my farm."
"They're... food?" What was Zhang Lie talking about? Was this a joke?
Zhang Lie pointed at the pack of peak-grade lifeforms. "As you can all see, I'm raising a flock of fish."
The crowd stared at the horde of peak-grade lifeforms, then at Zhang Lie.?He called these peak-grade lifeforms fish?
Sun Mengmeng clutched her face. "I knew that this couldn't be a natural phenomenon—so you were behind it, Captain!"
Zhang Lie saw the shock on Team Zenith's faces, but no understanding. He still hadn't explained himself clearly enough.
"Follow me." With a wave of his hand, he pulled everyone into the extra-dimensional space of his whirlpool tyrant soulshard.
Upon seeing the frightening post-peak-grade lifeforms within the miniature ocean, the members of Team Zenith were astonished. Sun Mengmeng asked, "Just where are we?"
"My farm, of course."
"What?!"
"Didn't I tell you that we were going to visit my farm?"
"Yes, but this—"
This was entirely beyond their expectations. They didn't expect that this "farm" would be keeping a bunch of peak- or higher-grade lifeforms in an extradimensional space! Such lifeforms were very difficult to find in general, but almost all the lifeforms in Zhang Lie's personal space were post-peak-grade or higher.
More aggravatingly, to Zhang Lie, these lifeforms were all "fish".
If word of this farm ever spread, the entire world federation would be shaken; this news was far more shocking than Zhang Lie establishing a kingdom of his own.
The members of Team Zenith acutely felt that they were falling behind him; they had no idea when he had done what he did.
Sun Mengmeng asked, "Captain, just what are you planning to do with this farm of yours?"
Li Feng added, "Surely you don't intend on ruling over the seas as well?"
Zhu giggled. "Mister's already done that!"
"What?!"
This was the first time they had ever heard of the like. They had carefully been managing the kingdom of Limit, thinking that it would be their grandest accomplishment in their career as hunters.
For this achievement, their names would spread throughout the second realm, as would Zhang Lie's—but they had just discovered that founding the kingdom was the tip of the iceberg for Zhang Lie. The kingdom of Limit dominated the land.
For millennia, no one had been able to overcome the sura's hegemony; Zhang Lie had done it.
There was once a time when humans constantly had to live in fear of the sura; Zhang Lie had changed it all.
No one had ever been able to construct a whole kingdom of humans; Zhang Lie had done it.
Perhaps in a thousand, ten thousand years from now, all of humanity would still praise his name. No one could eclipse Zhang Lie's accomplishments—he would become a star of history, a champion of mankind, a hero of legend. But now, Zhang Lie was showing them that he had accomplished even more than that.
Li Feng was almost trembling as he asked, "Captain, did you found a kingdom in the sea at the same time you founded one on land?"
No ordinary person could found a kingdom, but Zhang Lie had founded two.
"More or less," Zhang Lie replied breezily.
