Chapter 1155
Though the gourd-shaped entrance was rather narrow, Gerald swam in just fine and the other two followed swiftly behind him. After swimming through it, the trio found themselves in an area that felt almost alien. Soon enough, they came to yet another cave entrance, though there was one stark difference to this one. There was Dead Annie pollen floating around everywhere inside! “Cover your nostrils and remain focused!” ordered Gerald as he looked at the dashboard of the tracking device. While the old woman was nowhere to be seen on it, she had last been spotted right where they currently were. She was undoubtedly inside. How absolutely cunning of her… If he had been any less cautious, then he would’ve definitely fallen straight into her trap! It was at that moment when both Yume and Chester began feeling slightly uncomfortable. Gerald figured that it was due to the fact that the pollen at the cave’s entrance was denser. Even though he was aware of that and was actively trying

Looking at how weakly Chester was apologizing, Gerald then gently patted him on the shoulder before saying, “It’s fine… After all, we’ve… We seem to have finally arrived at the king of the ocean’s palace…” After saying that, Gerald went silent for a while, utterly stunned by what he was now looking at. Not hearing anything from Gerald for a while, Chester then looked up as well. His eyes widened the moment he did, and he found his mouth gaping as he stared at the extremely magnificent-looking palace that lay before them. The palace looked befitting of a dragon, and in the middle of the structure, was an enormous high platform. What stupefied Gerald most, however, was the fact that hovering about twenty feet above the platform, was a crystal coffin! ‘It’s another eternal coffin!’ Gerald thought to himself in his bewilderment. So it really was true… The woman in white truly had been buried within an eternal coffin here after being separated from the deity! Still, Gerald coul

“What is that…?” asked Chester rather curiously as he watched Gerald carefully take a square, wooden box out from his pocket. Wagner had given the box to Gerald after an old beggar gave it to his ancestors about eight hundred years ago. From what Wagner had told Gerald, not only had the old beggar anticipated that Gerald would head to the king of the ocean’s palace centuries later, but he had also accurately predicted Gerald’s meeting with Wagner, hence why he had told Wagner’s descendants to hold on to the box till Gerald finally showed up! Could it be that the old beggar truly had foreseen what would happen in ten thousand years? Had the old man actually managed to predict that Gerald would find the eternal coffin and transport the woman in white away for her to finally be reunited with the deity? Could… could that old beggar from ten thousand years ago actually be the same person from eight centuries ago…? Gerald shuddered at the thought and didn’t dare to dwell too much on
Chapter 1158
The entire palace was now shaking vigorously, and it felt as though the heavens were about to come tumbling down while the earth seemed ready to rend open! As all this happened, the crystal coffin slowly began descending, supported by Gerald in one of his hands. While Gerald had anticipated for at least this much to happen… He hadn’t expected the life gate to not open! Instead, it simply seemed to be shaking violently! Amidst the chaos, even the iron chains that were wrapped around the giant black coffin began quivering in place… It was at that moment when something truly peculiar happened. Both of them saw the iron chains—tying the black coffin shut—starting to break apart. At the same time, the crystal coffin almost appeared like it wanted to fly out of this place! As if all that wasn’t enough, Dead Annies suddenly began growing rapidly on all the surrounding walls! “It… It’s the Dead Annies again!” shouted Chester, now extremely frightened. It didn’t take long for the

As Gerald listened to what his bodyguards had to say, he was simultaneously also thinking about something else. The fact that he had gone unconscious for a full month and a half meant that the Dead Annies had been much more potent than what he had initially anticipated. Completely different from the attacks from powerful people like Christopher, Dead Annies were used as a medium to bring great mental harm to others. It made him realize that despite training his physique to such a powerful state, his mental power was still far from catching up to his body’s capabilities. To think that he had almost died due to all the injuries he had suffered from the Dead Annies…. Regardless, Gerald distinctly remembered witnessing something seconds before he had fainted back when he was still in the king of the ocean’s palace. As he was clinging onto the eternal coffin back then, the lid of that large, black coffin had slid open and following that, a black light shot out of it…. Whatever t

After all, when he had last enquired Welson about the flower back when he was still on the island, Welson had told Gerald that after his grandpa founded the Soul Palace, he had gone to the Western Regions. While he was traveling northwest, he had apparently found the seeds to that flower by accident. Though he had an entire garden of it, he had only planted them for their beauty. In other words, Gerald had been told that his grandpa didn’t know about the flower’s mysterious properties at all. What more, from what Lord Fenderson had just told Gerald, it seemed that his grandfather had found the flower much, much earlier than what Welson had told him! His grandpa had apparently even told Lord Fenderson that the flower was owned solely by the Crawfords! What contrasting statements! “Indeed. It’s a nameless flower, after all. ‘There are only two petals that bloom, and each petal represents a world…’ That was the stunning statement that that old man had told me back then, you know?” s
Chapter 1161
Even though he hadn’t even begun thinking about what the dark light—that had escaped from the black coffin—was, Gerald truly didn’t dare to dwell any longer on any of all this, at least not for the moment. The stress of all this just felt like a ticking time bomb weighing on his mind. “…Speaking of which, where’s Chester?” asked Gerald, suddenly remembering about him. “Ah. Well, the young lord had been comatose for quite a long time as well, but he regained his consciousness about half a month ago. However, he suffered quite a lot of physical injuries, especially his legs. Even till today, he still hasn’t been able to get out of bed,” replied one of the bodyguards. “I see. It’s good enough for me that he survived!” While the way Gerald and Chester had gotten acquainted was nothing short of dramatic, Gerald remembered how Chester had risked his life to protect him back when he was close to passing out. Due to his heroic actions, Gerald had felt extremely touched. “…Also, asi

He remembered how she had helped him enter the Yonwick family’s manor in the previous month after he had been denied access into the manor by one of the Yonwick’s apprentices. At the time, Gerald had thought that she was extremely sweet and warm-hearted. After all, from what Gerald had personally experienced, nice women like her were far and few between in today’s world. While that had been his initial impression of her, the current Queena’s temperament was vastly different from the one he had met back then. Instead of the gentleness he had remembered her by, she was now displaying extreme arrogance and viciousness. What more, while Gerald was sure that she was just an ordinary woman before this, he could now sense immense inner strength emanating from her. It was so overbearing that even Gerald had to admit that he was probably weaker than her at that moment. It was truly bewildering, to say the least. “…What are you doing, Queena?” asked Gerald rather hesitantly. “Why, I
