Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls

Chapter 626 - 318: Fisherman’s Identity, Ten Thousand Years of Past Events

As the power surged in, the stone in Fang Yu’s hand gradually melted and quickly integrated into his body.

"Buzz!"

A loud noise suddenly echoed in Fang Yu’s mind, and the next moment, his vision turned blank, as if his thoughts were pulled back to an ancient era by some force.

"Roar!"

Dragons rested in this land, thriving and multiplying, and like humans, they competed for the best evolutionary resources.

But suddenly one day, the era changed, the surrounding environment drastically became unbearably harsh, causing these dragons to gradually be unable to survive or reproduce.

Newborn dragons and dragon eggs were the first to be unable to withstand the environmental melting, resulting in fragmentation and death.

Later on, the weaker members of the Dragon Race gradually perished.

With the continuous deterioration, even the most powerful dragons couldn’t withstand the environmental degradation, and their bodies began to decay.

Their bodies, genes, and powers were decomposed and digested by the world, transforming into the most primal forces hidden within every tiny energy unit.

This is why in any era, before people aim to reach the peak, they must undergo a process of dragon transformation.

The so-called dragon transformation doesn’t mean that humans, ships, or other power vessels possess the dragon’s strength or bloodline.

Instead, at this stage, people start to feel the essence of power, and the energy units they can absorb and use become smaller, finer, and progress more towards the origin.

Therefore...during this process, the genes and power of the Dragon Race hidden within the tiny energy units are released, affecting the external manifestations of modern strong individuals.

The Dragon Ship emerges in this manner.

At this moment, the power within the stone absorbed by Fang Yu began to flow again, revealing the true history of this stone before him:

At the time when all members of the Dragon Race were extinct, the golden ancestral dragon sleeping deep within the world was suddenly awakened.

Its power and bloodline were so strong that it could resist the environmental changes brought about by the era’s transformation.

But...

Year after year, time fleetingly passed. Having lost its clan, the ancestral dragon was akin to a human who lost their family, engulfed by loneliness and mourning in its heart.

In absolute solitude, the ancestral dragon chose to dissolve itself, turning into dust like the other dragons.

However, the ancestral dragon was after all the strongest of the Dragon Race, the progenitor of all dragons.

Even if its body dissolved and dissipated, fragments of power and bloodline still quietly gathered from the void since that time.

These crystallized fragments numbered nearly a hundred, and as time and space shifted, most of them fell into void and completely vanished.

Yet among them, one appeared in the hands of a young tribesman after enduring a series of time changes.

Initially, the young man didn’t realize its significance; he merely treated the stone as a pleasant-looking pebble, carrying it with him.

But as time passed, the young man grew stronger, even without cultivation methods or the concept of a power system; he naturally grew to become the most powerful person of the current era.

With the wave of his hand, he intended to create an era where the Human Race would no longer suffer from the hazards and hunts of ancient beasts, establishing the earliest nation.

"Ancestral Emperor! Ancestral Emperor!"

A large group of humans prostrate on the ground, gazing admiringly at this man who had grown into a robust and strong gentleman, revering him as "Ancestral Emperor."

Upon seeing the appearance of this "Ancestral Emperor," Fang Yu was slightly startled.

This man surprisingly bore some resemblance to the Fisherman.

Could it be... this person is the Fisherman?

Yet something seems different!

For the Fisherman has the appearance of a thin, dark-skinned middle-aged man, without much vitality on his face, only a numbness washed by time.

Whereas this man, his eyes were full of vigor, passionate and strong, a gallant and upright hero.

Is it possible... that with the passage of time, the once upright hero turned into the current withered form of the Fisherman?

But soon, as the scene continued to change, Fang Yu completely understood what truly happened.

The Ancestral Emperor took office, leading the people to continually expand, develop, and grow.

But...

Due to the existence of the dragon stone, the Ancestral Emperor’s life span became almost equal to that of the dragons, likely lasting tens of thousands of years.

Even though a thousand years passed, through generations after generations, the Ancestral Emperor’s appearance nearly remained unchanged.

People began to notice something amiss, and the ministers started to suspect the Ancestral Emperor.

Even though the Ancestral Emperor still cared for the Human Race, diligently working, the fear in the human heart spreads like a virus; once emerged, it rapidly expands and takes root.

Through long-term conspiracy and preparation, several descendants of the Ancestral Emperor—perhaps grandchildren or younger generations.

They inherited part of the Ancestral Emperor’s bloodline, although their lifespan wasn’t as exaggerated as the Ancestral Emperor’s, they were long-lived and strong.

Under their conspiracy, the Ancestral Emperor was plotted against by his own descendants and sustained severe injuries.

Finally, the dragon stone was obtained by a short, thin, sickly-looking grandson.

"I curse you, to be like the ancestral dragon in this life, with all family dying in decline, ending in solitude and madness, never able to reach the peak in a lifetime!"

Before his demise, the Ancestral Emperor sent out a shocking curse, his voice reverberating, shaking heaven and earth.

Since then, the era of the Ancestral Emperor ended, and the descendants slowly declined due to the curse cast by the Ancestral Emperor, only the dragon stone bearer managed to barely survive under its protection, yet was powerless to prevent another era’s transformation.
