The Great Sea's Surging Waves

Besides noticing Ariel's aversion to the Sea God, Zhou Qing also realized that she felt a strange sense of regret about the Sea Soul Beast race's worship of the Sea God.

But since he wasn't that familiar with Ariel, he didn't ask any further questions about it.

Meanwhile, within Romantina's Sea of Spirit, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, who had already been "persuaded" by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion to sacrifice itself to Romantina and become her Second Martial Soul, found Ariel somewhat familiar. "This guy doesn't seem to be human."

"Hmm, probably not."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm echoed, but its Divine Body silently approached the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion. However, she noticed it and swept it away with a scorpion tail.

"Get away from me, you dead bug!"

Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion had no good feelings towards Sky Dream Ice Silkworm at this moment. If she hadn't been tricked and threatened, she would rather spend ten thousand years figuring out how to God Creation herself than sacrifice herself to this mentally ill Romantina.

If it weren't for Romantina's exceptional mental fortitude, which provided her with some solace during the sacrifice, she wouldn't have been willing to follow Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's arrangements.

"Don't be like this, Bing Bing, can't you feel my love for you?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm poked at the pairs of small hands, feeling somewhat sad.

"Get out!"

Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion felt that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was acting crazy. Compared to Romantina, she was no less impressive, and they were a perfect match!

And now I'll actually have to deal with two mentally ill people at the same time—

We should have resisted to the end from the very beginning!

"Hey-hey!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm changed her sorrowful expression and asked Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, "Who do you think this Ariel is?"

"A transformed Soul Beast? Perhaps it carries something that can conceal its Soul Beast aura?" Ice Empress speculated, "However, its strength hasn't reached the Soul Saint-level."

"That's right, that's what I thought too. Bing Bing is so smart!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm laughed.

"You fucking call me Bing Bing again and see what happens?" Ice Empress couldn't take it anymore. She grabbed Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's head with her pincers, lifted it above her head, and questioned it.

"I was wrong···"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said weakly.

Although both were Divine Body at this time, and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's million-year-old spiritual cultivation was enough to suppress the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.

But!

He fell in love with Ice Empress at first sight! That's interracial love! How could he possibly lay a hand on Bing Bing? He just lured Bing Bing in, and now he's too busy trying to win her over to threaten her.

He's such a pure-hearted Ice Silkworm!

Meanwhile, outside, the large ship had already sailed to the area with irregularly shaped reefs and stopped.

Ariel said, "This area is the habitat of the Rubik's Cube Octopus. If you can't wait, you can dive down to the seabed to catch it."

This suggestion—

Everyone immediately disagreed.

Although everyone present could swim, no one was sure how much of their abilities they would be able to utilize once they were in the water.

At least after Xiao Wu and Tang San entered the water, their strength was reduced to less than one-tenth.

Zhou Qing does control the earth and water elements in the Earth Fire Wind Water, but asking him to dive into the deep sea to capture the Rubik's Cube Octopus —spare him!

The Rubik's Cube Octopus is Soul Beast, not an ordinary octopus!

"Can't you put ice?" Romantina asked. "You can create an ice sheet on the sea."

"You don't actually think that with my Soul Power as Soul Grandmaster, I can freeze the entire Great Sea, do you?"

Zhou Qing rolled her eyes and pointed to the surging sea, saying, "Don't think the Great Sea is so turbulent because of the wind; it's actually due to underwater currents! The entire Great Sea is surging! Or rather, vibrating!"

"Unless it's an extremely cold climate like the Extreme North, even Titled Douluo would have a hard time freezing the entire Great Sea. At most, he could create a thin ice surface that's barely enough to stand on, and that ice surface couldn't be too wide. I estimate that if it were more than a hundred meters wide, it would break under the waves of the Great Sea, unless the ocean beneath the ice surface was also completely frozen."

Tang San, however, keenly grasped the word "vibration" and asked in confusion, "Qing Ge, do you mean the Great Sea is vibrating? Why is it vibrating?"

"I felt the earth tremble."

Zhou Qing gave an example. "It's like a basin filled with water. If you blow a breath into it, ripples will appear on the surface, but it only affects the surface layer and hardly impacts the water at the bottom."

But if you place your hands on both sides of the basin and tap it repeatedly, or shake it in a special way, you will find that not only does the surface of the water in the basin ripple, but all the water in the basin shakes.

Having understood these points, and comparing them to the ocean we currently inhabit, using this small example to illustrate a larger point, do you think the shimmering surface of the Great Sea is caused by the wind, or by some force shaking the 'basin' that holds the entire Great Sea, causing undercurrents to surge beneath the surface?

Tang San opened his mouth in disbelief. "So, the earth we're on is constantly moving? And the Great Sea, that is, water, sensed this movement and caused it to vibrate?"

"Perhaps this is the truth."

Douluo Continent?

Actually, it's Douluo Star!

But we can't describe this fact now. We can only use simple and easy-to-understand comparisons to let Tang San, Xiao Wu, Romantina and others understand that the earth has always been "moving".

"A novel idea." Ariel took in Zhou Qing's words, but shook her head. "But what's the use? The Great Sea vibrates because it senses the movement of the earth; it's just a very basic phenomenon."

"Hmm? What you said makes a lot of sense. I've actually been thinking about a question too: Newborn babies can't walk or talk. They eat and sleep, sleep and eat, and they cry and poop and pee everywhere. So what use are they?" Zhou Qing asked with a smile.

"How can that be the same? Babies grow up under the care of their parents! Even those with weak Martial Soul can help their families with chores; those with strong Martial Soul can even become Soul Master through cultivation," Ariel retorted.

"That's right. The phenomenon of the Great Sea rippling and moving because it senses the movement of the earth or because it feels some kind of force is like a newborn baby to humans. If you just leave it there, it's useless. But if you take care of it and nurture it, that is, analyze the reasons and summarize the principles, then this phenomenon of the Great Sea can be used by humans."

At this point, Zhou Qing turned to Tang San and said, "You like forging, and the essence of forging lies in vibration. And now, the most powerful vibration phenomenon in nature is being presented to you in the most obvious way!"

Gazing at the undulating Great Sea, Tang San had an epiphany in that instant!

Yes! The power of vibration! If the earth we live on is shaking, then aren't the undercurrents and waves of the Great Sea a manifestation of that vibration?

[If I could perceive the underlying pattern in this vibration, how powerful would I be?]

Tang San couldn't imagine it!

But without a doubt, he was already eager to jump into the Great Sea and personally experience Great Sea surging waves...
