Chapter 58

"boom--"

"It's the leader's power!"

The sea clan members stationed at the high tower all looked up and gazed into the distance.

The violent energy fluctuations coming from afar made them realize the intensity of the battle.

"...Why do I feel like the leader is being suppressed?"

“Are you kidding me!?”

The gatekeeper of the Tower of God, the leader of the sea people on earth, the protector recognized by God...how could anything go wrong?

…

——Suppressed.

Agarei realized this almost instantly.

Being able to quickly realize the gap between yourself and your opponent is also a manifestation of strength.

Agare, whose strength far surpasses most people, naturally understands his situation clearly.

That person easily led the red dragon and the gray crow to dodge his attacks. It was more like strolling and observing than fighting.

Observe this rare sea creature, his fighting style, strength, means of release, and so on.

It’s really... exciting!!

Agare didn't care about the increasing number of wounds on his body. Even though half of his clothes were soaked in blood, he became more and more fanatical.

"Does every race have such a battle maniac?" Lu Mi seemed to see the shadows of Shura and Desmond in the other party.

"Why don't you use weapons?" Agare suddenly asked, his concern and unwillingness evident as he spoke between rapid breaths from the battle. "Your martial arts skills are no less than mine, yet you've only been using ranged attacks. You're obviously better at close combat, aren't you!?"

At least I hope to see a more serious attitude from the other party.

Several times when Agare quickly approached the opponent, he could see those silver eyes narrowing slightly, as if the next moment, the silver-eyed young man would take out his weapon from the void -

The lightning-fast sharpness of that moment made him feel a chilling sense of danger, and as a warrior, he instinctively anticipated: what a stunning thundering blow that would be!

However, no.

No matter how far it went, the reading bar for drawing the sword came to an abrupt halt, which could be said to have whetted Agare's appetite.

Lu Mi paused with his fingertips that were casting the phantom light.

What a coincidence, his weapon was taken away to open up the mountain not long ago, and a new one has not been found yet.

Something that can be used as Lu Mi's weapon does not appear easily. Even the silver spear before was refined from the extinct minerals that Saio had collected for hundreds of years.

Only this kind of material can withstand Lu Mi's power, and it is naturally not something you can find easily.

Lu Mi sighed imperceptibly, then raised his eyes and said, "It's over." His white fingertips pointed at the other person in the air.

"Wait," Gray Crow said suddenly, "I have a better idea."

The gray-winged youth raised his hand and pointed, "Throw him into the sea. Those who betray the ocean will be punished by the sea."

Lu Mi couldn't help but look sideways.

Agarei's eyes widened instantly. A flash of panic flashed across his azure pupils, but he quickly regained his composure. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "I didn't carry it back..."

"Bang--!"

Before he could finish his words, Lu Mi's attack followed and knocked the opponent away.

And just at the edge of this forest, below the low cliff is the coastline.

Agare's figure rose high into the air and fell into the sea, creating a small splash of water.

The rest of the Celestial Clan hesitated for a moment, seemingly knowing they were no match for Lu Mi, so they chose to go into the sea to see if they could fish the guardian out.

However, as soon as they arrived at the beach, several water columns hundreds of meters high suddenly rose from the sea.

The huge movement naturally attracted the attention of Lu Mi and others.

The red dragon moved its nose, perhaps smelling something, and had an expression of comfort and curiosity on its face.

At this moment, Lu Mi suddenly heard a strange "voice".

It does not belong to any language known today, it seems like just a long dragon roar.

...calling him.

The silver-eyed young man's eyes suddenly became dim.

The next moment, a group of creatures with ear fins and gorgeous fish tails suddenly emerged from the sea.

Compared to Agare, who had just exchanged his fish tail for legs, those creatures were obviously purer sea creatures, the prototypes of the legendary "mermaids" and "sirens".

"They're the deep-sea creatures," Gray Crow said suddenly. "Every once in a while, when the sea becomes restless, they swim up from the bottom of the ocean, circling the sea, and using the songs bestowed by the sea god to calm the foreboding disaster."

"But," Gray Crow paused, "the interval has been getting shorter and shorter in recent years, from once a year to once every six months, and this time, it seems to have only been a month since the last pilgrimage..."

This also shows that the ocean is becoming increasingly turbulent, and submarine volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis are gradually getting out of control.

"Sea God?" Lu Mi was still looking at somewhere in the void.

"Yes." Gray Crow continued what he hadn't finished before, "The first dragon born from the deep sea of ​​the ancient Eastern Region. However, he passed away thousands of years ago and has now become a legend..."

"...I see." Lu Mi suddenly said, "Is this what 'you' wanted to tell me?"

These words did not seem to be spoken to the gray crow.

The strange "sound" in his ears did not stop. Obviously, he was the only one who could hear it. Receiving the message conveyed by the "sound", Lu Mi suddenly smiled, as if he understood something all of a sudden.

Then, Lu Mi suddenly stood up slowly, and the red dragon, as if sensing something, suddenly grabbed the corner of the young man's clothes.

The pair of silver eyes glanced at it, then looked at the confused gray crow, and suddenly said: "Then come together."

Before Gray Crow could react, the next second, a small mirror was launched from Lu Mi's fingertips. Using it as a medium, everyone instantly moved above the sea tornado.

I don’t know if it was intentional or because they were too lazy to separate them, but those bewildered Celestial Clan members were also brought here.

A dozen massive tornadoes instantly surrounded them, and below them swam the deep-sea creatures. Seeing their sudden appearance, the creatures' songs paused, and they all looked over, their eyes far from friendly.

Come to think of it, it would be strange if people were happy when their ceremony was interrupted.

"The Celestial Clan? Are the followers of the sky going to interfere in the affairs of the ocean?" A leading sea creature asked.

"Ah, no, we..." The confused Celestial Clan flapped its wings, but of course did not fly.

The next moment, the group fell rapidly towards the sea below.

"You don't know what death is..." The sea creatures spoke in a deep voice and at the same time moved out of the range where they fell.

However, just as the sea tribe was waiting for everyone to fall into the sea and perish—

A huge whirlpool suddenly opened up on the central sea surface surrounded by more than a dozen tornadoes.

The vortex continued to expand, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a passage leading straight downwards.

Faintly, one can seem to see an ancient underwater palace at the end of the passage.

"......!" Everyone was shocked at once.

Especially those sea creatures, "What is that!??"

In fact, they had just sung the old epic poem about the palace -

[Under the deep sea vortex, where no one can get close, is the residence of the Sea God]

"The bravest sea creatures have to go through numerous trials before they can reach this place..."

In the ancient past, people did overcome countless difficulties to reach there, and a whole narrative poem was derived from it, and the content has long been remembered by them.

"I thought the palace disappeared with the passing of the Sea God thousands of years ago..." the leading sea creature murmured.

And now, this clearly open passage is like an invitation to go straight through - if the end is really that hidden ruins... what is the reason for this seemingly cheating road!?

The variables will definitely not be them. They sing praises every month, and this situation has never happened before!

At this time, Lu Mi and others had already fallen into the passage. The leader of the sea creature gritted his teeth and followed them with a flick of his tail.

——How can I not go up at this time? If I don’t go up, I’d be unworthy of being a sea creature!

At the same time, the leader of the sea creatures was also thinking, "Why would the palace, which has been silent for a thousand years, respond to that person..." Then, almost instinctively, he locked his eyes on the young man with silver eyes, "Who is he?"

Thinking about it carefully, that person's figure seemed extremely unfamiliar in the entire Eastern Region.

In fact, even if there is a through train, this road is not easy to travel.

Whether it was the increasing suffocation and high pressure the deeper one went, or the strange underwater monsters that suddenly appeared from the whirlpool, or all sorts of chaotic illusions...

It's more like all the originally scattered disasters are crammed together all at once. It's better to say that the difficulty has doubled!

Not to mention the sea people who followed, the people of the sky clan even decided on what to engrave on the tombstone on the spot.

"We are actually going to fall on the bottom of the sea where there is no sunlight. Have we really been abandoned by the sky..." These dejected last words just came out of the mouth of a celestial being and immediately stopped.

Because they saw a bright golden light suddenly emerge from the body of the silver-eyed young man.

The light became more and more numerous and brighter, drowning out the young man's blurry figure in the blink of an eye.

——In the Eastern Region where the sky was completely obscured by dark clouds, it was almost impossible for such a naturally dazzling light to appear.

But this scene actually happened before their eyes!

At this moment, the mysterious and dark deep sea around seemed to suddenly turn into a deep universe, and that person was an eternally shining sun.

His light guides the way and illuminates the mysteries of the universe. Countless stars gather around him, repelling dangers and sending hidden monsters fleeing.

The golden sun continued to descend, heading deeper into the vortex, but the people were no longer afraid.

"This power...!?" The leader of the sea tribe suddenly widened his eyes, and an incredible guess suddenly emerged in his mind.

"Sure enough, I wasn't mistaken!" Gray Crow suddenly spoke, his voice hoarse with excitement.

This was an insignificant question that Lu Mi once raised - why did the Gray-Winged Celestial Clan suddenly lose their composure and look panicked when they first met, and did not try to take the other's soul?

Because Gray Crow has an ability that other celestial beings do not have and do not know about: he can see the form of other people's souls.

So, in a world where most people are stars, and some are not even as bright as fireflies, he suddenly saw a sun he had never seen before.

At that moment—he saw bright light rushing towards him.

I could only turn my head away hurriedly to prevent the embarrassing tears from falling.

And after that, it seemed natural that the gray moth was attracted by the golden flames all the way.

Finally, everyone suddenly felt their bodies lighten, and then they stepped on solid ground.

However, at this moment, even the sea creatures did not have time to observe the palace they had dreamed of, but hurriedly looked at the young man.

"Ah..." I don't know if it was out of surprise, surprise, or maybe he was prepared, but he couldn't help but murmur.

The silver-eyed young man had changed his demeanor. The gold ornaments on his body that assisted the flow of power sparkled brightly and felt warm to the touch, as if even the air was filled with a gentle yet sharp aura.

The wings of light behind him showed that he did not belong to any existing clan in terms of power, but was an existence that was elevated among all living beings and yet was superior to them.

——This feeling…

Everyone's lips moved slightly, as if they were lost in some dreamlike daze.

But the silver-eyed young man, who was being watched by everyone, did not look at them. Instead, he said to the empty palace, "I'm here."

His voice echoed.

This once magnificent palace was isolated from the sea by a dim shield, but it still rusted over the long years.

Now you can vaguely see the cracks on the walls or the moss growing in the corners.

Everyone came back to their senses after hearing his ambiguous words. Just as they were wondering who the young man was talking to, the next scene caught them off guard and shocked them again.

Suddenly, a dragon shadow engraved on the carved beam began to swim, and then a phantom made entirely of water slowly emerged.

The shadow was extremely huge. It occupied the entire palace, with its long body cruising outside, and only a huge head poking out from a broken ceiling of the palace.

“You’re here—”

It was an ancient and vague voice, as if it came from across history.

It called out to the silver-eyed youth, "Newborn God."

"I heard your voice calling me from the cliff." Without looking at the expressions of the others, Lu Mi said directly, "I am here as you wished. Tell me what you want to say."

The remaining soul of the giant dragon didn't waste any words and nodded.

Originally, it was just a remnant of the consciousness of the deceased primordial dragon. If it had not sensed the aura of Lu Mi's newborn divine spirit, it would never have awakened. And after waking up, it had only a short time left.

The huge body suddenly swam up and surrounded everyone. In the water flow of the constantly changing body, everyone suddenly saw many scenes.
