The Sword of Somplak
Krantis City

The king smiled happily, showing an enthusiastic facial expression, signifying that he was impatient to share his story. With a burning spirit, the king began to recount the journey that began before the war, continued during the phase of the war, until the end of the war.

At the time when the demon nation began to invade the mortal realm and the god realm after the end of the fight of two great beings, namely the Demon Lord versus the Sun God, the condition of living things in the mortal realm was under threat of extinction. They all had to hide from the demon hunt.

This is where the role of the King of the Ocean is present as the savior of life left in the mortal realm. However, in order to save the lives left in the mortal realm, there was a price that King Orx Xian had to redeem, namely by sacrificing the soul pearl energy core belonging to the ancestors of the Ocean Kingdom.

The condition lasted for many years until there was no longer any existence of living beings left in the mortal realm so Demon Queen Xin Li Wei decided to withdraw the entire demon army from the mortal realm. 

The atmosphere of mortal nature was so silent that it left the remnants of war within two years. Until one day, suddenly appeared some people in the forest area of the Fei Empire (Wolf Forest) who had come out of nowhere. 

At first King Orx Xian thought they were a group of humans who had survived the war and the hunt for the demon nation, and the king began to return many people back to the mainland to start a new life. But who would have thought, the people who had just returned home, became the prey of a group of people who came from the forest of the Fei Empire.

This made the king have to work hard to save all those who had already returned to the mainland. For the Royal Ocean troops, they never returned to the ocean after a rescue mission.

Not wanting to risk going to war with the demon race, King Orx Xian decided to use the ancestral heritage heirloom to protect the Ocean Kingdom from the attacks of the demon nation. The soul energy core heirloom was able to seal the entire region of the Ocean Kingdom and successfully make the demon nation find nothing in the ocean. 

"That is all that I know, if there is still something Lord Ucup does not understand, I am ready to answer it" said King Orx Xian after narrating at length all the events that occurred.

Ucup nodded then said, "Thank you, the King has bothered to tell me this whole story, and another one I want to ask, how did you know I was coming to your place?" 

King Orx Xian smiled and then replied, "Lord Ucup, in the historical records of our ancestors, the generations tell us that when the three realms were severely damaged by war, the three realms were destroyed, then will come someone who is sent to restore the condition of nature in its original state. We who are the fusion of the three races in the three realms are destined to be the heirloom of the soul pearl core and only the ruler of the universe is able to know and break through the formation seal of the soul pearl core. That's where we know it." 

“Hem, well, I trust everything. Thank you for the information, King of the Ocean,” timpal Ucup.

However, Ucup continued to look at the king with a look of demand. Seeing him, Orx King Xian instantly swung his hand open a dimensional portal.

“Lord Ucup, come!” invite the king who steps into the portal followed by Ucup behind him.

In a dimension there is a city that is identical to the city on the surface. Ucup stared in amazement as he looked at the extremely majestic city before him. All the inhabitants of the city instantly gathered in the city square to see the appearance of the open portal, welcoming the arrival of the figure of a man who was none other than King Orx Xian and a handsome young man beside his right. They then kneeled in unison to welcome the arrival of the two.

“Our respect, Your Majesty the King of the Ocean and Young Master. Welcome to Krantis City,” welcome the residents.

 “Build everything!" sahut the king, raising his hands up, asked all the inhabitants to stand up. 

The townspeople stood together. But from a distance, hundreds of monster beasts were still kneeling while bowing their heads. The king's eyeballs were immediately aimed at the monster beasts with a look of astonishment. A while later, he realized that the monster beasts might have known the figure of the young man beside him.

Ucup glimpsed by the king, immediately nodded in understanding. He then waved a hand gesturing for all the monster beasts to stand up. Sure enough, all the monster beasts immediately stood up following him.

After that, King Orx Xian turned his head back towards the townspeople and said, “I came here bringing happy news for all of us, you know, the young man beside me is the master of the universe who in the future will bring you all back to where you came from." 

Different reactions are shown by the residents. Only a portion of the population of the human race was happy to hear it, the rest did not believe the king's words, because the young man who was with him looked like an ordinary human without having any cultivation. In fact, some people who came from noble clans, kingdoms, empires, and sects sneered at Ucup's presence, they considered the young man beside the king to be just a scum of braggars and a sycophant. 

Ucup himself only responded indifferently, seeing a portion of the townspeople who did not believe him. 

King Orx Xian then took Ucup around the city of Krantis. A city that had a land area was equivalent to two cities in the mortal realm.

Uniquely, in Krantis City there is no difference in social status, although each resident has his own group, such as people from the kingdom will form a royal group. No outsiders joined the royal group. Likewise with other groups, each group has a leader, each leader is usually chosen based on the highest cultivation level except from the royal and imperial groups chosen based on the oldest age or seniority law. 

Seeing how the population gathered to carry out its activities, Ucup immediately spoke in his mind, "Actually man can unite if each individual put aside his personal ego, but his name will always have his own ego … many factors influence it. But basically the degree of man is the same, the difference is his own thinking."

After more than two days the king of the ocean took Ucup around the city, the two decided to return to the palace. However, as the King of Orx Xian and Ucup prepared to leave, in the town square, dozens of people from several group representatives confronted the two.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, some of us doubt the capacity of the young man who came with Your Majesty" said one representative from the noble clan.

King Orx Xian was not happy to hear this, and he asked, "What is the reason you doubt it? Do you think I lied to you?" 

The tall voice and cold expression of the king made everyone look shudder in horror. They also look nervous.

"Pardon us, Your Majesty! We fully believe in His Majesty, it's just that we are curious about the young man we see as not having the cultivation to bear such a grand name. We just want him to prove it to us," replied a man who was the representative of the noble clan. His face looked so pale and broke out in cold sweat.

“What proof do you want to see from me?" ucup asked with a cold expression staring at the representatives.

"We want to challenge you to fight, but take it easy, we will not use our strongest strength. We won't kill you either" replied the same man.

Implied arrogance from the words of the man denigrates Ucup. Some others could barely hold back the laughter, hearing the words that glided from the man who was their representative. If there were no king, they might have been rebuffing Ucup.

"Hem, you don't know yourself!" muttered Ucup while shaking slowly.
