Chapter 270 Ocean Systems

Chapter 270

The moment they received Lin Xia's global announcement, most people left the ocean and went ashore.

"Let's go quickly. This is the first time Island Master Lin has issued such a notice. There might be danger."

"I also think there might be a great opportunity; fortune favors the bold!"

Seeing that his companion was determined to stay despite all advice, the person who had tried to dissuade him swallowed his words. He realized that there was no point in trying to persuade him anymore. He decided to leave it to fate.

"Tell me, what exactly happened? My cultivation speed is at least three times faster than it was a few days ago! Could it be that Island Master Lin has done something big again?"

"Enough with the nonsense, hurry up and speed things up. You're not listening even though there's a benefit for you."

“That’s true. Island Master Lin said we should strengthen our defenses. If you ask me, why don’t we all work together? That way we can defend for a longer period of time.”

"OK!"

......

People racked their brains for solutions, and most banded together to defend themselves, gathering their families together. On all the land, every household kept their doors tightly shut and activated various defensive mechanisms.

The atmosphere was tense, and although no one knew what the outcome would be, everyone had their own guesses given the scale of the event.

Some people are afraid; these are people who are usually very lazy in their cultivation, and whose main attributes are given by the system.

Some people are excited, finally about to break free from control, and hope everyone stays safe.

Some people panicked, fearing that Lin Xia would kill everyone, or that they themselves would be the unfortunate ones to die.

Some people weep because their personal strength has improved, but their deceased relatives and friends can never come back.

......

Life has many facets, too numerous to mention.

Xie Cheng fully activated the arrays on all the islands, severing the connection with the ocean system the moment Lin Xia exited the game.

This was a method he had been searching for for a long time. Originally, once he went to the Colosseum, his connection with the ocean system was almost severed.

The method was obtained, but its implementation was very risky, for fear of a counterattack from the ocean system. However, just as he was about to implement it, a strange feeling arose in his heart. He felt that the connection was elusive, on the verge of being severed.

Without hesitation, he chose to use it, and unexpectedly, it actually severed the object in one fell swoop.

Upon returning, a sudden realization dawned on him, making him understand that his seventh sister had once again done something earth-shattering, weakening this connection.

He looked up at the floating island, suppressing his urge to go there. As he severed his connection with the ocean system, he also connected with the subconscious sea.

Xie Cheng understood his path and mission.

He accepted the opinions others had of him and finally understood why Seventh Sister had left him alone on the island.

There are countless paths in life, and one doesn't necessarily have to follow the paths others have taken. His concern for the people is neither his fault nor his shortcoming.

Although he now understands reincarnation and knows that death is not the end, he still wants the living to live well.

Since that's the case, he remained steadfast in his beliefs.

He found a way to completely sever ties. If Seventh Sister needed him, it would be safest for him to stay here and guard her.

Let Lazy Cat and Xie Cheng protect the land together, while Lin Xia, Ji Wei, and A Tong head to the bottom of the sea.

Wherever Lin Xia passed, the seawater automatically separated, and the three of them reached the deep sea at an extremely fast speed.

Looking at the light membrane in front of them, Ji Wei and A Tong were amazed. They had never known that the ocean system was actually on the seabed, not in the sky.

Seemingly sensing Lin Xia's presence, the light membrane trembled.

"Is this an ocean system? What does it look like? Is it really just a lump of iron?" Ji Wei craned his neck curiously.

"I feel like the light membrane over there is...very big, as if it connects to other spaces," Ji Wei said hesitantly.

Golden light flashed in Lin Xia's eyes as the array unraveled layer by layer in her vision. She looked at the light membrane with some amazement.

It turns out that a small world is connected to the seabed.

The two followed Lin Xia into the light membrane and were amazed by the vibrant, lush, and dazzling world before them, filled with green grass and towering trees.

The flowers were enormous; if anyone were standing on them, they would have to shout—"Flower fairies!"

The enormous canopy exudes a strong sense of life, with white clouds drifting through it. Branches hang down, some laden with fruit, others in full bloom.

Waterfalls hang in the sky above them, and the cascading waterfalls bring mist, making the place humid but not stuffy. The mist is like clouds, full of life, like a fairyland.

Living among them were animal-shaped creatures and humans. Upon seeing the three women, they all huddled together in fear, pointing and whispering about them.

It's as if the three of them are intruders, although that might actually be the case.

Lin Xia scanned the space with her mental energy. It wasn't very big; her mental energy could see the end of the space at a glance.

She searched inch by inch, and when she saw the mountain at the center of the world, the mountain trembled rapidly, and the creatures standing on it let out a horrifying cry.

The earth shook violently, and many lives were thrown down the mountain, some were crushed to death in their houses, and the whole world began to tremble.

But after waiting for a long time, they didn't see anything come out of the mountains.

Lin Xia felt that the moisture here was even thicker, and Ji Wei frowned sensitively: "It has merged into the water mist!"

The three remained on guard, for this outcome was dire, because water was indispensable, both in this world and in theirs.

At least for now, the whole world is submerged in water.

"Do you know what it is?" Atong controlled the giant tree branches to guide the falling creatures.

Ji Wei shook his head: "I can't feel it. He is water, and water is Him!"

As soon as Ji Wei finished speaking, laughter echoed in every corner of the world.

"Hahaha, you're right, I am water, and water is me!"

Her voice was like a child's, innocent and light.

Lin Xia scanned the top of his head with his mental energy. The passage there was still open, and they could leave at any time. However, if this system was in the form of water, it would be very difficult to deal with.

Ji Wei's figure gradually became ethereal, as if she had turned into a drop of water, but it was only an illusion. Lin Xia sensed that Ji Wei's spiritual power had turned into water, wandering in all places with water, but it was useless.

"Hahaha, someone actually wants to compete with me in understanding water? How ridiculous! But how about I leave your planet if you give me this person?"

The voice seemed to whisper in her ear, and Lin Xia felt this gaze upon her. Her eyes flickered; the feeling was somewhat familiar...

It's the aura of that 'god' from the previous game world.

It seems this 'god' has been defeated and injured, otherwise he wouldn't be spouting so much nonsense.

She felt two gazes directed at her. She thought one of them was the 'survival system,' but what if both gazes were from enemies?

A-Tong's face turned pale: "Water... how are we supposed to fight like this?"

Lin Xia used her mental power to awaken Ji Wei: "Don't chase after him, he wants you."
