Chapter 1617: Coronation
The people of the eastern sea and southern sea were even more unusual.
For example, Chonggui was a country built atop the back of an Overbearer, and an Overbearer was basically a gigantic size turtle. It was also why their country was named Chonggui (Turtle Worship).
The Overbearer was a powerful Ancient-class Stranger, and all citizens of Chonggui enjoyed its protection. It did not have any natural enemy in the sea, so the people enjoyed a bountiful and worriless life.
The only problem with living on the Overbearer for too long was that the people became warped by its anomalous power. They would become like turtles not just in terms of shape, but also the mind.
While they could barely maintain a human appearance on the Overbearer, they would grow a turtle shell and act like a turtle as soon as they left the stranger’s side.
The envoys from Chonggui were all like that. They were old men carrying turtle shells on their back, and they walked and talked as slowly as turtles. It was very interesting[1].
For example, Wumu was a country where neither the sun nor the moon’s light could reach. Permanently shrouded in darkness, the people of Wumu did not need eyes to perceive their surroundings. Because of this, everyone in the country was eyeless.
But despite not having eyes and being incapable of seeing things, the people of Wumu possessed extraordinary hearing. They could hear a group of crawling ants from hundreds of meters away, and a pindrop from dozens of kilometers away like they were wind or thunder.
......
In conclusion, all sorts of countries were participating in Chu’s coronation ceremony this time.
“Why do you think these envoys are here, Qingyou?” Ye Qing asked curiously while observing the colorful cast of envoys with deep interest.
To be honest, the large majority of these countries did not share a direct line of interest with Chu. Some of them did not even belong on the same continent. Naturally, the Chief Libationist and the Pacification Emperor hadn’t invited them. Still, they had shown up, and he was curious to know why.
