The Divine Path (Part Two)
A phantom shadow streaked across the ground at incredible speed. Above Sea God Island, the enormous eye could see everything on the island, but this figure remained unseen.
Surprisingly, the shadow passed by without causing any ripples in the air, and it passed right through everything in its path, whether people or objects.
"Huh? Did a shadow just pass by?" At the foot of Sea God Peak, two ordinary people were talking when one of them suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
He had just clearly seen a dark shadow flash by, seemingly passing through the body of the person in front of him. When he came to his senses, it was gone.
"You must be seeing things. How could there be anything filthy at the foot of Sea God Peak? What could possibly be on Sea God Island that could escape His Sea God Hall's notice? If there were anything strange, His Sea God Hall would have ordered it to be cleaned up long ago," the man's companion said, shaking his head dismissively.
"That makes sense," the man nodded after thinking for a moment. Looking at the enormous pupil floating in the sky, the creepy feeling in his heart subsided.
With Deity presiding over it, and Deity eyes watching over everything on the island, what is there to worry about? All Guimei Wangliang will find it absolutely impossible to get close to Sea God Island.
In the Sea God Hall, the sea Sea God, with her long, jet-black hair flowing down her back, gazed upon everything on the island with her Divine Eye, suspended in the sky, held something she could not see. This feeling was unprecedented; it was the first time someone had been able to evade her Divine Eye, no matter how hard she searched, she could not find them.
Call out...[
A shadow as black as ink suddenly flashed across the Sea God Hall God's Sea God Hall, stopping in the center. Only then could one see that the person who had intruded into the Sea God Hall was a woman, dressed in a black bodysuit, with a voluptuous figure and a cold expression, staring at the Sea God standing at the entrance. Her eyes were filled with complex emotions.
"You, you really did come..." The Sea God, standing at the edge, trembled slightly upon the appearance of the woman in black. Without turning around, he spoke, his tone extremely complex, completely lacking the aloofness and detachment one would expect of Deity.
"Why shouldn't I come? This Sea God Position rightfully belongs to me. I'm just here to seize what's rightfully mine, haha, Sea God? You're nothing but a thief, Lin Birou," the woman in black said, her face filled with anger, hatred, and a cold laugh, her voice trembling with excitement as she glared fiercely at the Sea God standing before her.
"What? Why don't you turn around? As Deity, you disdain to even consider me Mo Lingna? Or do you have any shame in facing me?" The woman in black said angrily, looking at the Sea God who had always kept his back to her.
"Elder Sister Mo, you've misunderstood. The Sea God Position was not something I stole; it was bestowed upon me by my Master. You should understand," the Sea God said, turning around with a complex look in her eyes.
"Impossible! This Sea God Hall is where I grew up, and my mother told me from a young age that this Sea God's throne would be mine. But I was only gone for a month, and when I returned, my mother had disappeared. You ascended to the Sea God Position. It must be you, with your wolfish ambition, who stole my mother's Sea God Position."
With a look of nostalgia, the woman in black Mo Lingna, gently stroked the throne in the center of the Sea God Hall. As she spoke, she glared fiercely at Sea God and struck out. Her hand moved as fast as Venomous Snake's tongue, instantly grabbing the Sea God's neck.
The sky gradually darkened with clouds, and raindrops began to fall. They had come to Sea God Island to escape the Thunderstorm, and seeing that it was about to rain, Zhuge Xiang and Lu Yuling were looking for a Restaurant to take shelter in.
Suddenly, without warning, Zhuge Xiang keenly sensed irregular fluctuations in the sea around Sea God Island. Terrifying energy fluctuations made the seawater around Sea God Island seem to be stirred up.
Although there have always been waves around Sea God Island, at this moment, the seawater around Sea God Island roared angrily, with wave after wave piling up dozens of meters high, as if it could wash everything away.
The sky, which had been drizzling with raindrops, suddenly turned Scarlet, like blood. The Heaven and Earth howled mournfully, as if weeping in anguish. The enormous Divine Eye that had been suspended in the sky developed a crack, which then multiplied and shattered with a bang...
"What's going on? What on earth happened?" The sudden change in the Heaven and Earth, the blood-like rain, the mournful cries of Heaven and Earth and earth, and the shattering of the Sea God's eyes left Zhuge Xiang and Lu Yuling stunned.
"Ah! Heaven and Earth and earth grieve! The Sea God Hall has fallen? This is impossible..." The sudden change caused the residents of Sea God Island to scream, their faces filled with bewilderment and terror.
The Deity have fallen, and Heaven and Earth and earth grieve together. The blood rain falling from the sky is like the weeping of Heaven and Earth, and the mournful cries echoing throughout the Heaven and Earth are the sorrowful wails of all things...
Hearing the words of the residents of Sea God Island, Zhuge Xiang was secretly puzzled. How could the Sea God have fallen? And how could his fall have caused such a cataclysmic change in the Heaven and Earth? Was he truly Deity?
Suddenly, mournful cries and wails resounded throughout the Heaven and Earth, stirring deep sorrow in everyone's hearts. Blood rained down from the sky, and the Sea God's eyes shattered. The Heaven and Earth lost its color, and at that moment, all things in Heaven and Earth truly lost their hue, turning into black and white.
There was azure blue, Scarlet blood rain, brown earth, and green plants—this was the vibrant and colorful Great Thousand World. But suddenly, at this moment, the Heaven and Earth was reduced to only black and white. Coupled with this heavy and sorrowful atmosphere, Deity had fallen. This was the first time Zhuge Xiang had witnessed such an anomaly caused by the fall of Deity.
This scene of the Heaven and Earth losing its color and all things grieving lasted for the time it takes to brew One Incense Stick of tea before it passed. Immediately afterwards, on Sea God Island, thousands of residents rushed towards the Sea God Hall, wailing and lamenting.
The fall of the Sea God, and the complete and utter fall of the Sea God, was like the collapse of a pillar of support for those who worshipped him, so naturally they had to go and find out what had happened.
"Deity? There really are Deity on this Sea God Island?" Lu Yuling's face also showed surprise.
If it wasn't Deity, what was the situation when all things grieved and the Heaven and Earth lost its color? Born into the Asura Sect and possessing the Memory of the Ice Maiden, Lu Yuling had never remembered any Void Realm Great Expert had fallen and would cause such a grand spectacle.
"Can Deity also fall?" However, compared to Lu Yuling's shock at the news of the existence of Deity, Zhuge Xiang was more concerned about the matter of their fall. Since Deity are Deity, should Undying and Imperishable? How could they possibly fall?
"Let's go see what the Deity look like, and why they would Deity..." Zhuge Xiang said to Lu Yuling as he watched the thousands of people rushing towards the Sea God Hall. The two of them followed the flow of people and ran towards the Sea God Hall.
"Hahaha, after waiting for six long years, enduring humiliation for six long years, I've succeeded! I've finally reclaimed the Sea God Position that rightfully belongs to me! Hahaha, Mother, do you see? Back then, you gave my Sea God Position to that girl Lin Birou, but today I've taken it back with my own strength..."
At the Sea God Hall, Mo Lingna, a woman dressed in black, held a ball of golden light in her hand and shouted with excitement and madness.
Outside the Sea God Hall, Lin Birou, who had fallen from the altar, had eyes that were lifeless, and fell from the Sea God Peak like a puppet. There was not a trace of aura on her body, and she was completely like an ordinary person.
"Haha, so many people have come. Is it to celebrate the birth of the new Sea God?" Mo Lingna laughed as she looked at the thousands of people gathering densely towards the temple below Sea God Peak. As she spoke, the golden light in her hand slowly merged into her body.
"How is this possible? Why would His Sea God Hall suddenly perish? We haven't received a single piece of information."
"The last time the Sea God abdicated, it was only six years. Doesn't each term have to be twenty years?"
"Could it be? Something happened to His Sea God Hall? That's impossible. No one on Sea God Island could kill His Sea God Hall."
The inhabitants of Sea God Island rushed to the Sea God Hall like madmen. They talked amongst themselves, completely unable to believe that the Sea God had suddenly perished.
Following the crowd and listening to their discussions, Zhuge Xiang finally understood. The Sea God wasn't as mysterious as he'd imagined. It didn't refer to a single person, but rather to a position, like an emperor, with a term of office every twenty years. This meant that anyone could become the Sea God if chosen? That was unbelievable!
To become Deity, one must endure countless hardships and arduous cultivation. But the Deity of Sea God Island are appointed only once every twenty years? And they can be replaced? This is completely different from the Cultivation World that Zhuge Xiang knows.
"Wait, there's a woman who's unconscious over there." As Zhuge Xiang followed the flow of people toward the Sea God Hall, he suddenly Divine Sense a figure approaching. Looking up, he saw a figure falling from the sky.
Flying on his sword, Zhuge Xiang caught the figure that had inexplicably fallen from the sky, looked down at it, and was slightly taken aback.
She was beautiful, absolutely stunning. Long, jet-black hair, a sky-blue dress, a perfect face—this woman who had suddenly fallen from the sky was the only person Zhuge Xiang knew whose beauty could rival Lu Yuling's. This woman was so perfect that one might even wonder if she was a fairy who had fallen from the heavens to the mortal Heavenly Realm. (To be continued...)
