119: Chapter 118 The Submission of the Inner Earth Ape Clan, A New Order in the Inner Earth World

Hum!

A few seconds later, accompanied by a distortion of space, the four of them, Luo Yu, appeared at the edge of the Ape Clan's city on the second layer of the Hollow Earth World.

As soon as they appeared, a dozen Giant Apes rushed over.

Seeing Luo Yu and his group return safely, a flash of surprise and joy crossed their eyes.

"Roar!" The lead Giant Ape knelt on the ground, emitting a low roar.

"What is it saying?" Ivy asked.

"It is asking if we succeeded." Luo Yu smiled.

"Hiss!" Godzilla jumped off Luo Yu's shoulder, its size expanding to fifty meters, then raised its right claw, a ball of blue light emerging in its palm.

That was the energy mark left by the King of Godzilla.

"Roar!" When the Giant Ape saw this light, a look of shock flashed in its eyes.

It immediately stood up, turned around, and sprinted toward the depths of the city.

"It has gone to notify the patriarch." Luo Yu said.

Sure enough.

In less than five minutes, the patriarch of the Ape Clan came rushing out with a dozen Frost Blood Ape Clan members.

When the patriarch saw the light in Godzilla's palm, its entire body froze, as if it had recalled something.

Then, without any hesitation, Luo Yu directly told the truth of what happened back then.

"Roar!" Upon learning the truth, the Ape Clan patriarch didn't even think about it; it immediately knelt on both knees.

Bang! The powerful force smashed two giant pits into the ground.

"This is..." Su Qingxue was stunned.

The patriarch lowered its head, emitting a series of rapid roars.

"What is it saying?" Ivy asked curiously.

"Hmm?" Luo Yu frowned and listened, then said: "It said that back then, they misunderstood the King of Godzilla, which led to the King dying to protect the Hollow Earth World. On behalf of the entire Ape Clan, it is asking for forgiveness from Godzilla."

"Hiss, hiss." Godzilla tilted its head, its vertical pupils examining the patriarch kneeling on the ground.

The patriarch raised its head, its eyes filled with guilt and awe, opened its mouth, and emitted a low roar.

However, this roar was no longer a request, but a vow.

"It says..." Luo Yu paused, then said surprisingly: "From today on, the Ape Clan is willing to submit to Godzilla, and guard the Hollow Earth World for generations to come."

Silence. The air solidified for a few seconds.

"Submit?" Su Zhiruo blinked.

"An entire clan?" Ivy opened her mouth in astonishment.

"Hiss." However, Godzilla just flicked its tail, looking indifferent.

To put it bluntly, it had no interest in ruling anything; it just wanted to eat well and sleep well.

Seeing that Godzilla did not refuse, a look of joy flashed in the patriarch's eyes. It stood up, turned around, and let out a deafening roar toward the city.

"Roar!" The sound waves spread, reaching the entire second layer of the Hollow Earth World.

A few seconds later. Countless members of the Ape Clan poured out of the city.

They varied in size, from five meters to over eighty meters. All members of the Ape Clan rushed to the edge of the city and knelt down in unison.

And when thousands of Giant Apes knelt at the same time, the scene was extremely shocking.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!" They emitted synchronized roars, as if swearing allegiance.

"This..." Su Qingxue looked at this scene, unable to speak.

"Is Godzilla the king of the Hollow Earth World now?" Ivy muttered to herself.

"I suppose so." Luo Yu smiled.

After finishing all this, the patriarch of the Ape Clan walked up to Godzilla and pulled a huge crystal out of its chest.

The crystal was the size of a basketball, emitting a pure blue light, with complex patterns carved onto it.

"Roar!"

"It says this is the Hollow Earth energy core, one of the sacred relics that the Ape Clan has guarded for generations." Luo Yu's eyes lit up: "It can help Godzilla accelerate its evolution."

"Hiss!" Godzilla immediately perked up, jumped off Luo Yu's shoulder, and took the crystal.

Crunch. Accompanied by a shattering sound, Godzilla bit down, the crystal shattered into several pieces, and it chewed twice before swallowing them.

【Ding! Godzilla absorbed the Hollow Earth energy core】

【evolution progress +3.2%】

【Current evolution progress: 92.3%】

"Not bad." Luo Yu smiled with satisfaction. It was only 7.7% away from the next evolution.

Seeing that Godzilla had finished eating, the patriarch took out a few smaller crystals from its chest.

"Roar, roar."

"It says these are spare energy crystals, all offered to Godzilla." Luo Yu relayed.

"Hiss, hiss." Godzilla ate them all without hesitation.

【evolution progress +1.8%】

【Current evolution progress: 94.1%】

"Still 5.9% to go." Luo Yu calculated.

At this moment, the patriarch stood up and emitted a series of roars at Luo Yu.

"It is asking what our plans are next." Luo Yu said.

"Plans?" Su Zhiruo looked at him.

Luo Yu pondered for a few seconds before saying: "Patriarch, I want to talk to you about the future of the Hollow Earth World."

"..." The patriarch paused, then nodded, signaling for Luo Yu to follow.

Thus, the group followed the patriarch into the city and arrived at the central palace.

Inside the palace. Luo Yu sat on the throne, while the three women, Su Zhiruo and the others, and the high-ranking members of the Ape Clan stood below.

Godzilla was lying on Luo Yu's shoulder, its tail flicking back and forth.

"Patriarch, I have a proposal." Luo Yu, who had been invited to sit on the throne, said directly.

"Roar?"

"The Hollow Earth World and the surface world should establish contact."

A look of surprise flashed in the patriarch's eyes.

"Roar, roar!"

"It says the surface world is very dangerous, with Abyssal invasions." Luo Yu relayed: "It worries that contact will bring disaster to the Hollow Earth World."

"It is precisely because it is dangerous that we need contact." Luo Yu said: "The Abyss will not let go of any world; the Hollow Earth World will be targeted sooner or later."

"..." The Ape Clan patriarch fell silent.

"Instead of passive defense, it is better to cooperate actively."

Luo Yu continued: "The surface world has advanced technology and weapons, while the Hollow Earth World has powerful creatures and energy. If the two worlds join forces, the chances of resisting the Abyss will be much higher."

The patriarch's eyes lit up.

"Roar!"

"It says if we can really fight the Abyss, the Ape Clan is willing to cooperate." Luo Yu smiled: "But... there is a condition."

"Roar?"

"Humans from the surface world cannot enter the Hollow Earth World at will." Luo Yu said significantly: "Only those approved by me can enter."

The patriarch nodded immediately.

"Roar, roar!"

"It says this condition is very reasonable." Luo Yu relayed to the three women, Su Zhiruo and the others: "It also says the entrance to the Hollow Earth World will be guarded by the Ape Clan; without Godzilla's permission, no one can come in."

"Very good." Luo Yu extended his hand.

The patriarch paused, then extended its huge palm.

Man and ape, shaking hands.

"Happy to cooperate." Luo Yu smiled.

"Roar!" The patriarch also smiled.

"By the way." Luo Yu suddenly remembered something: "Are there other clans in the Hollow Earth World?"

The patriarch nodded.

"Roar, roar, roar."

"It says that besides the most powerful Ape Clan, there are the Rock Armor Clan, the Thunder Beast Clan, the Frost Demon Clan, and..." Luo Yu frowned: "Abyssal remnants."

"Abyssal remnants?" Su Qingxue's expression changed.

"Roar!"

"It says that when the King of Godzilla sealed the Abyssal passage back then, some Abyssal Creatures escaped and hid in the most remote areas of the Hollow Earth World." Luo Yu relayed: "All these years, they have been developing in secret, and there are quite a few of them."

"How many are there?" Ivy asked.

The patriarch shook its head, indicating it didn't know.

"However, it says the leader of the Abyssal remnants is a Tier 6 peak Abyssal Giant Beast." Luo Yu narrowed his eyes: "Named 'Shadow Lord'."

"Tier 6 peak..." A playful look appeared on Su Zhiruo's pretty face.

Heh, isn't a Tier 6 peak just delivering a meal to Godzilla?

"Hiss!" But a glint of joy appeared in Godzilla's vertical pupils. Tier 6 peak? Perfect to use for the next evolution.

"Patriarch, where are those Abyssal remnants?" Luo Yu asked curiously.

The Ape Clan patriarch stood up, walked to the wall, and pressed a few times on the wall.

Rumble. The wall cracked open, revealing a huge map.

The patriarch pointed to an area on the far right of the map. There was a black vortex drawn there.

"Roar, roar."

"It says that is the 'Shadow Abyss', the lair of the Abyssal remnants." Luo Yu looked at the map: "About five thousand kilometers from here."

"Five thousand kilometers..." Su Zhiruo calculated: "I can teleport, but it will take many times."

"No rush, just a Tier 6 peak, not worth mentioning." Luo Yu waved his hand and said: "Let's return to the surface first and report the situation here."

The patriarch nodded.

"Let's go." Luo Yu got up, walked down from the throne, and left the palace with the three women, Su Zhiruo and the others.

The four walked out of the city. The Ape Clan patriarch, along with thousands of Ape Clan members, escorted them all the way to the city edge.

"Roar!" The patriarch let out a final roar.

"It says it looks forward to us coming again." Luo Yu smiled: "We will."

"Hiss." Godzilla waved its claw at the patriarch.

The patriarch knelt down, bowed its head in salute, and the other Ape Clan members followed suit upon seeing this.

"Let's go." Luo Yu looked at Su Zhiruo.

"Okay." Su Zhiruo formed hand seals.

Hum! Space twisted. The four of them disappeared at the edge of the Ape Clan city.

The patriarch raised its head, looking at the direction they had disappeared, a look of anticipation flashing in its eyes, muttering to itself.

"Roar..." Translated, it meant: The king of monsters, has finally returned.
