Surging Mental Power churned across the sea, and the winds and waves it stirred rocked the ship violently.
Destiny Monk held the Heart of Ares in one hand, his eyes slightly narrowed. With a light flick of his fingertips, he selected several Karma Threads from the sky full of them and nodded slightly at Lin Qiye.
"Commander Lin, what happened?" Jia Shasha and Zhen Xiaoyi stood behind Lin Qiye and asked in confusion.
"It's nothing. You two go on ahead."
Lin Qiye slowly rose from the bow of the ship, gripping the straight blade engraved with a golden "Seven" in his palm.
He turned back and smiled at the two of them. "Once I'm done here, I'll go to Cangnan to find you."
As his words fell, he soared into the air and charged straight toward Ares's corpse. Beneath the gloomy sky, the ship gradually sailed away over the sea, and the two figures slowly faded from view.
"What do you think Commander Lin is going to do with a god's corpse?" Jia Shasha gazed at the distant silhouette and could not help asking.
"No idea... Anyway, it's probably not something we can understand."
Zhen Xiaoyi sighed.
Boom—!!!
In an instant, a brilliant golden radiance erupted from the sea behind the ship and shot into the heavens!
The surging waves nearly capsized the ship. Everyone clung tightly to the railings along its sides to steady themselves. When they turned back, the distant sea had already become a golden ocean.
At the same time.
Olympus.
Thunderclouds rumbled overhead. At the peak of the silent divine mountain, Poseidon sat upon the cracked Golden Throne, trident in hand, gazing in the direction of Great Xia.
"The time should be about right..." he murmured.
"I have a feeling this won't go so smoothly."
