Chapter 432: 230: Rock Queen Annihilation! (Important, must order)_3

The Rock Queen said, "They have already taken the Queen’s Island Fleet and left."

Upon hearing this, Yan Mo’s expression changed and he said, "Why did they leave so hastily? They didn’t even say goodbye to me?"

And beneath them, Turing Duo’s face underwent a drastic change.

The Rock Queen directly said to Yan Mo, "Kneel."

Instantly, Yan Mo knelt before her.

The Rock Queen removed the crown from atop her head and placed it on Yan Mo’s, saying, "My son, from now on you are the new king of the Rock people, and everything is entrusted to you. Whether it’s survival or destruction, strength or decline, all of this is now yours to command."

Yan Mo was taken aback and then, with eyes reddened, he knelt and said, "I shall obey."

"Ascend to the throne," the Rock Queen said.

Yan Mo stood up and walked to the Sea God’s throne.

Immediately, all the Island Masters present knelt and said, "We greet our king."

From then on, Yan Mo became the new Yan King, securing the loyalty of all Island Masters.

The succession ceremony for the throne was thus completed simply and directly.

...

"Today there is one last major affair, which is the sacrifice!" the Rock Queen spoke as she activated a mechanism on the throne.

Instantly, the ground of the entire hall began to rotate, revealing a huge chasm; below the hall was an unfathomable abyss.

"The Sea God is angry, having cut off our freshwater supply, making it impossible for us to survive on Rock Island," the Rock Queen said. "Normally, water would overflow the ground, but now the water level is completely out of sight. Our freshwater will last only a month or two at most."

Immediately, all the Island Masters leaned forward to see for themselves, and indeed, there was only the bottomless abyss, dry and devoid of water.

The Island Masters, their faces aghast with shock.

Other necessities could be plundered, but without freshwater, the people of Rock would perish.

The Rock Queen said, "I do not know whether this is the Sea God’s wrath or a divine omen telling us to leave Rock Island. Therefore, we must perform a sacrifice to seek the will of the Sea God."

"Ao..."

At that moment, from the depths of the abyss, a sudden thunderous roar erupted,

causing the entire royal palace to tremble and quake.

Then, a pair of blood-red, piercing eyes suddenly opened, illuminating the entire dark abyss.

This was a terrifying beast, with just one eye measuring a meter in diameter, the symbol of the Sea God, whose existence spanned over thousands of years.

And the so-called sacrifice involved throwing living people into the abyss to be devoured by the beast that represented the Sea God below.

Yan Mo gestured fiercely with his hand.

Immediately, several Rock warriors lifted ten Rock women, all pure and unmarried maidens.

There was no fear on their faces, only a holy fervor, because they were to serve the Sea God with their bodies.

The Rock Queen said, "If after the human sacrifice, the Sea God blesses us with freshwater, then it merely signifies his anger. And if after the sacrifice, he still does not grant us freshwater, it means he is not angry but has given us a new decree, commanding us to leave Rock Island, to expand, to conquer, and to occupy the entire world."

At these words, Yan Mo’s heart trembled.

He hadn’t expected that his mother, even after abdicating, would still bring him immense help, and even aid him through the most difficult challenge.

To lead all the Rock people away from Rock Island, breaking the millennia-old conventions!

Because the Queen Mother had always known that he desired to expand, to conquer more lands, not just to be trapped on Rock Island.

But the customs of the Rock people were too ancient, and almost no one dared to defy them. To persuade the Rock people to leave the Rock Pirates was met with insurmountable resistance; even an order from the Yan King would be futile.

Nearly all Island Masters were unwilling to leave the ancestral land, the Archipelagos of Rock.

The Yan Queen spoke loudly, "Are you willing to obey the will of the Sea God? If, after the live sacrifice, fresh water is restored, then everything will resume as it was. If, after the live sacrifice, there is still no fresh water, all the Rock people must leave Rock Island and conquer new islands, new lands. Are you willing to obey?"

Instantly, all Island Masters knelt down in unison and said respectfully, "We obey your command!"

Then Yan Mo raised his hand, about to order ten virgins to be thrown into the abyss to feed the behemoth below as part of the live sacrifice.

It was at this moment that the Yan Queen said, "Sacrificing to the Sea God, relying solely on the weight of ten virgins is not enough, it does not represent the pride and passion of our Rock people. Therefore, what is needed is a queen’s sacrifice, and so, I have decided to offer myself to the god!"

These words sent a shock throughout the crowd, and almost no one could comprehend what had just happened.

The Yan Queen said to Hai Wuyan, "Please tell your father that I already have a husband, so I cannot marry him. However, I will give him an explanation!"

Then, the Yan Queen leaped fiercely into the abyss, offering herself as a live sacrifice with her own body.

"No..." Yan Mo bellowed, almost rushing towards the abyss, but was desperately restrained by Hai Wuyan behind him.

"No..."

All the Island Masters cried out in shock, completely unable to believe what was unfolding before their eyes.

The Yan Queen closed her eyes, continually falling deeper into the abyss.

"Ao..."

The terrifying behemoth below opened its formidable jaws wide, roaring thunderously.

The entire island, the whole ocean, trembled.

"My lover, my husband, I am coming to join you..."

The Yan Queen, her heart filled with sweetness and serenity, reminisced every moment with Count Suo Long, every night in her mind.

Such sweetness, such charm.

Upon a brief encounter as if the golden wind and the precious dew, one surpasses all else in the human world!

...

"No, my Queen..."

At this moment, Suo Lun, holding Yan Xue’er’s hand, burst into the great hall.

But they were a step too late, only to witness the Yan Queen’s leap into the abyss, offering herself to the behemoth below in a sacred and resolute act.

Princess Yan Xue’er rushed to the edge of the abyss, only to see two enormous eyes emitting a terrifying glow, and the colossal jaws of a hundred meters wide.

The Queen’s figure was no longer visible.

Instantly, Princess Yan Xue’er’s beautiful eyes rolled back, and she fainted on the spot.

At this moment, Turing Duo pointed at Suo Lun and said, "Great King Yan Mo, this man before you is not some Shen Lang, but your own half-brother Suo Lun. He has deceived you all to gain the Queen’s Island Fleet, and even went so far as to wed his own sister, Princess Yan Xue—such an act is lower than beasts. Please, execute him immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Mo’s complexion changed drastically!
