Chapter 710: Chapter 543: The Five Great Imperial Families of the Mechanical Sea!
“Shall we just storm in?”
The hesitation in the Snow Woman’s voice.
She looked ahead at the Dragon Rui Star that was seemingly bustling, yet heavily guarded, and her eyebrows slightly raised.
Under such circumstances, they were prepared; if they forced their way in, it might cost them dearly.
“Disguise ourselves as guests.”
Xu Gu said offhandedly.
Although the Divine Court had vaguely started to access the power of ‘Divine Status,’ ‘Divine Pillar,’ and ‘Divine Seats,’ and the deities of the Mechanical Sea were returning.
The forces of the Soul Clan were stirring things up in the shadows.
The situation was becoming increasingly tense.
But there was still time to prepare.
No need to rush.
After all, while they were accumulating their foundation and enhancing strength, how could Xu Gu and the Human Clan afford not to do the same?
As Xu Gu spoke, he took out an invitation.
This invitation was given by the Bifang and the chief serpent.
Despite their defeat in front of Xu Gu, their status was incredibly high.
In a universe without gods, they were the most powerful giants!
Thus, the weight of this invitation was significant!
It represented the Beast God!
“Pretending to be a guest at one’s own wedding does seem rather odd.”
Ning Chen spoke up, her expression odd, but then she became utterly embarrassed.
Her chastity was ruined by such actions from the other party!
In her entire life, she would not deign to cast a glance at any man other than her master Xu Gu!
“I want to see who dares to impersonate me!”
She clenched her teeth with rage, anger flashing on her exquisite face.
In just a few words, the group had changed their appearance and disguised themselves as the entourage of the Beast God.
…
On the Dragon Rui Star.
Ancient warships and starships descended from the sky.
The powerful beings and prodigies aboard either had imposing auras or extraordinary presence!
Those who could attend such a wedding were extraordinary in their own right.
Especially in these chaotic times.
And particularly, that central ancient warship, or more accurately, the fleet of ancient warships.
The strong beings who disembarked had auras that made surrounding creatures show signs of shock and quietly retreat.
“These people are so strong!”
“Who are they?”
Some of the creatures who were not in the know asked quietly.
“Don’t you know? It’s obviously the forces from the Mechanical Sea! It should relate to the entourage or power behind the Mechanical Sea Crown Prince.”
A strong being spoke up.
As he said this, his gaze fell on the surroundings of these people.
As these creatures stepped foot, everything around them began to rapidly mechanize, including rocks and vegetation, and even some weaker beings were mechanized.
This was a very obvious characteristic of the forces of the Mechanical Sea when they traveled.
However, the Divine Domain Continent, after all, was ostensibly loyal to the Mechanical Sea and had fairly decent strength. After giving up the upper space to the Mechanical Sea long ago, they did not aggressively invade the land of the Divine Domain Continent any further.
Most creatures, including the Saintess Lian Yi of the Qingqiu Fox Clan from the Mechanical Sea creatures, would contain their mechanical power on the Divine Domain Continent and prevent it from dispersing.
So, not many Mechanical Sea creatures would dare such unrestrained mechanization.
And on Dragon Rui Star, especially at a time like this, Mechanical Sea forces who dared to do so must be very powerful.
“Only a being slated to become the Crown Prince by the Mechanical Sea could hail from one of those few races. No one knows which one the groom belongs to.”
“There’s a high probability it’s the Bronze Clan. They are the most active among the major royal families of the Mechanical Sea. It’s said that they have occupied many Star Domains and established them as their main hives.”
“It could also be the Green Wood Clan. Didn’t the Goddess of Life descend? It is said to be in opposition to Xu Gu!”
“The Blue Stone Clan is a possibility too. The irreconcilable deadlock between the Sea God and Xu Gu suggests that the enemy of an enemy is a friend!”
Many mighty beings and peerless talents were engaged in fervent speculation about the origins of this group.
“As for the Mechanical Sea royal families, there are five altogether: Green Wood, Blue Stone, Black Iron, Bronze, and Silver. Why don’t you just guess them all?” An annoyed powerhouse shook their head upon overhearing the discussion.
There are a total of five royal families within the Mechanical Sea.
The Green Wood Clan consists entirely of formidable beings like the Life Tree, World Tree, Royal Trees, and Element Trees.
Even the Goddess of Life doesn’t truly count as a member of the Green Wood Clan, but more as one of their guardians.
The beings of their clan can, upon reaching adulthood, wield the legendary Supreme Authority of [Life] and [Path].
The Blue Stone Clan is comprised of vast oceans and rivers, such as the Sea of Death, the Blood River, the Yellow Springs, and the Element Sea. The Sea God is but their protector as well.
Rumors say that if the Mechanical Sea ultimately becomes the Cosmic Overlord, even the Sea of Chaos will spawn consciousness and become a member of the Blue Stone Clan.
They wield the legendary Supreme Authority of [Fate] and [Path].
The Bronze Clan belongs to the Insect Clan. To be precise, it’s the vast collective hive formed by countless Insect Clans that qualifies as a member of the Bronze Clan.
They wield the legendary Supreme Authority of [Treasure] and [Thought].
The Silver Clan holds sway over time and space, a kind of Dragon Clan considered to be the ultimate evolution of dragonkind in later generations—mentioned in the same breath as the extinct Ancestor Dragon and Holy Dragon Clans.
They wield the legendary Supreme Authority of [Void] and [Time].
The Black Iron Clan is shrouded in mystery; some rumors suggest they descend from the fallen Ancient Human Clan, and others from fallen mythical gods. They are the icy reapers, wielding the legendary Supreme Authority of [Body] and [Death]!
Regardless, these five great royal families of the Mechanical Sea are unequivocally terrifying.
They are usually inactive, but when they do stir, no power can resist them.
Even the gods must acquiesce to the rule of these five clans.
Even the Human Clan would break into a cold sweat facing the five royal families, lacking any assurance of victory.
…
“The Divine Court has sent representatives as well!”
Amidst the discussions, Xu Gu and others descended from the sky.
They too drew much attention.
After all, the Divine Court is the supreme power of the Divine Domain Continent itself!
Naturally, there’s more affinity toward the Divine Court.
“Why would Lord Zhu Shou Snake suddenly change his mind and have us attend the Sword-man Clan’s wedding?”
“There’s bad blood between the Blue Stone Clan and the Divine Court.”
A member of the Divine Court couldn’t help but complain.
Others nodded in agreement.
These powerhouses were notified by Zhu Shou Snake and Bifang afterward. Since they decided to attend the wedding, the occasion naturally had to be grand.
How could Xu Gu and a few others be allowed to go alone?
Among these powerhouses, there were many reincarnated divinities.
They were even more informed and knew that the legitimate daughter of the Sword-man Clan was to be wed to someone from the Blue Stone Clan.
Aeons ago, the Blue Stone Clan had a dispute with the Divine Court, aiming to snatch away the Divine Court, including the four seas of the Divine Domain Continent. The Divine Court, of course, did not comply, leading to a clash.
Later, although the Divine Court was subdued, there was interference from other royal clans.
Therefore, the Divine Court still does not acknowledge the Gemstone Clan.
This grudge has thus continued to this day.
“Indeed, many gods within my Divine Court are connected with the four seas. When they attempted to seize the four seas, it directly prevented many of our gods from awakening.”
Many members of the Divine Court glimmered with veiled rejection and hostility.
Xu Gu appeared indifferent, and just as Ning Chen was about to intervene with an explanation,
“Why all the questioning? This is an order from Bifang and Lord Zhu Shou Snake!”
A cold female voice resounded.
It was a tall, coldly beautiful woman clad in black armor.
