Faith

In the Coral Family core quiet room, as the three Sacred Pillar Guardian bowed and retired, their figures silently blended into the dreamy Coral Douluo corridor. The peaceful appearance of the indoor layer used to show people to the outside quietly faded away like the tide.

Demon Empress is still sitting in the main seat, and her gorgeous purple-blue gradient dress has a quiet and majestic luster under the reflection of Fluorescent Coral. But at this moment, there is no longer any warmth in her eyes as deep as the abyss, only the coldness and insight that dominates everything are left.

She gently raised her hand, and her fingertips seemed to brush over invisible strings. A darker force field that completely isolated the inside and outside silently covered the entire quiet room, and even the flow of sea water seemed to be frozen by it.

"Okay, we are all our own people now." Demon Empress's voice sounded, still ethereal, but with unquestionable absolute authority, echoing in this completely blocked space, "Tell me, are there any noteworthy 'rumours' recently 'outside'?"

Her eyes first fell on Kraken, who was standing quietly in the shadow. This most powerful helper and mastermind in the past three thousand years, the aura under his gray robe became more and more unfathomable.

Kraken bowed slightly and raised his ice-blue eyes. There was no wave in it, only the purest rational analysis and a trace of undetectable solemnity. "Reporting to Your Majesty. The spread of belief and fanaticism towards Sea God in the mainland has climbed to an unprecedented peak, almost... the apex."

"Oh?" Demon Empress raised his eyebrows almost imperceptibly, indicating for him to continue.

"The two empires of Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empire have internal instability due to continued resource disputes and border frictions, which have made many Soul Master and the people at the bottom feel depressed and uneasy." Kraken's voice was smooth and clear, as if he was stating a cold map:

"In this context, the 'order', 'protection', and 'gift of the ocean' preached by Sea God Island, as well as the 'miracle' legends that were deliberately beautified and spread, have had a huge appeal to many mortals and low-level Soul Master along the coast of the mainland and even inland.

For their own purposes, the two empires either acquiesced or secretly promoted it, causing the number of temples and believers of the Sea God faith to increase sharply. The huge Faith Power is continuously flowing towards Sea God Island through some mysterious channels, and finally... returns to the supreme existence."

He paused, and a faint light flashed in his ice-blue eyes. "The reason why we can so smoothly weave a network inside Sea God Island and penetrate Sacred Pillar is, to a certain extent, precisely because over the past thousands of years, Sea God's main attention and 'prayer' received have mostly come from Sea God Island itself and the surrounding sea areas.

The thinness and complexity of mainland beliefs have caused a certain delay and fuzzy zone in the 'perception' and 'feedback' of the 'divine will' to the internal details of Sea God Island. It is like observing a lantern through a thick fog, only the light can be seen, and it is difficult to distinguish the subtle cracks in the wick. We are operating in this 'fuzzy zone'."

Evil Orca King Transformation The bald man "Huben" heard this, his eyes flashed fiercely, he seemed a little disapproving, but he did not interrupt.

Kraken's voice was a little deeper, with a clear warning. "However, now, mainland China's faith has reached its 'peak', which means that the 'quantity' and 'quality' of the torrent of faith flowing towards Sea God are no longer what they used to be.

Although most of the beliefs are still chaotic and point to the general concept of 'Sea God' rather than the specific details of the island's affairs, such a huge gathering of power is probably subtly...'brightening' the 'fog' of observation.

Sea God's 'overall perception' of the core place of its belief, Sea God Island, may become clearer and sharper than ever before. If we continue to use the relatively 'radical' penetration and development model of the past, and if our actions are slightly larger, the 'abnormal' ripples caused, the risk of being noticed by the being who sits high on the throne of God... will increase exponentially."

"What?!" Huben couldn't help but growl, and the scars on his face twisted, "Master means that we have been doing this for so many years and it's about to happen, but because those idiots from the mainland are worshiping God too hard, they may have noticed us?!"

This conclusion is indeed somewhat ironic and horrifying. Their deep-sea forces are doing things secretly, and as a result, the fanaticism of believers on land may turn into a searchlight that illuminates their hiding places.

There was no surprise or panic on Demon Empress's beautiful face, as if she had already considered this. She just looked at Kraken calmly, with bottomless eyes like a starry sky. "Keep talking."

Kraken nodded slightly. "That's right. Faith is the foundation of God, and it is also God's ears, eyes, and extension. In the past, we were like quietly weaving a net in the shadow of the corner of God's courtyard. The noise outside the courtyard was mixed with the 'daily' life in the courtyard, making it difficult to distinguish. Nowadays, people outside the courtyard are cheering, and the sound is shaking the world. The cheer itself may make the owner of the courtyard more alert and become extra sensitive to any discordant noise in the courtyard.

We were able to successfully win over and control the three Sacred Pillar before, although it was the 'Poison Burst Technique' and the right timing, but it was also inseparable from the mainland's relatively thin belief and relatively 'loose' attention to Sea God. If we continue to carry out large-scale actions, or even try to touch the core taboos, the risks... are unpredictable."

There was a brief silence in the quiet room. Tieshan and Mo Yuan adjusted their postures slightly in the shadows, exuding an aura of vigilance. Huben frowned, and his one eye flashed with irritability and unwillingness.

"However," Kraken changed the topic, a cold edge flashed in his ice blue eyes, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about it. The increase in risks means that we need to adjust our strategies instead of standing still. In fact, my subordinates have plans for this."

Demon Empress's fingertips lightly tapped the Coral Douluo armrest, making a crisp "tuk-tuk" sound, "Speak."

"First of all, scale back the overt operations and deepen the existing layout." Kraken said solemnly, "Inside Sacred Pillar, maintain the status quo, focusing on 'stability' and 'pious cultivation', and no longer conduct deep penetration or dangerous exploration unless necessary. Coral Family station will continue to maintain its aloof and peaceful appearance. The center of gravity of our power needs to further shift to the 'darkness' and the 'periphery'."

He looked at Huben: "Sea Beast Patrol Team under your command, as well as the peripheral eyeliners developed through you, need to be more cautious. The operational guidelines have shifted from 'obtaining intelligence' to 'maintaining concealment and observing the general situation.' The detailed changes in mainland beliefs, Sea God Island's external response, and the movements of priests at all levels are more important information at this stage."

Huben nodded heavily. "Understood, Master! I will ask the little ones to hide their tails and keep their eyes open."

"Secondly," Kraken continued, his voice even lower, "We need more 'buffer zones' and 'distraction pieces'. Because of the strong faith in the mainland, Sea God Island's interaction with the mainland will inevitably increase, sending envoys, handling beliefs Disputes, miracle displays and other matters will involve a considerable amount of Sea God Island's senior management's energy. We can use these 'legitimate' transactions and affairs to arrange cleverly to muddy the water and direct Sea God Island's attention to the outside rather than the inside."

Demon Empress's eyes flashed with approval, and this idea coincided with what she was thinking.

"Finally, and most importantly," Kraken said with a hint of solemnity, "The strength we have accumulated needs a more concealed fulcrum. Your Majesty, Left Guard and Right Guard are currently at Sea Turtle Sacred Pillar The lineage is cultivating deep in the station. Their cultivation has reached a bottleneck. With the unique environment of the Sea Turtle Sacred Pillar station, they can try to attack the final pass. Once successful, there will be two indestructible Dark Blade."

"In the past three thousand years, we used Coral Family, Sea Turtle Family and even Sea Swallow Family as cover, and through various channels, we secretly absorbed, protected, and assisted in transforming those who were harmful to Sea God Island Transformed Soul Beast who harbor deep hatred, yearn for freedom, or are incompatible with the Sea God Island order for various reasons, most of the elite ones are now hiding under the Sea Swallow Sacred Pillar station."

Kraken's gaze is like a Penetration quiet room barrier, cast in the direction of Sacred Pillar, which symbolizes speed and agility in the distance. "Sea Swallow Habitat has a complex environment, turbulent undercurrents, and numerous secret places. He is best at hiding and maneuvering.

Placing this group of forces there is, firstly, taking advantage of its environmental characteristics, and secondly, Sea Swallow Sacred Pillar itself is responsible for intelligence transmission and rapid support, and the flow of its stationed personnel is relatively frequent and reasonable, making it easy to cover. This group of forces will be our 'shadow claws' for rapid strikes, chaos, or special missions in the future when necessary."

Demon Empress listened quietly, her beautiful face looking more and more unpredictable in the light and shadow. After a long time, she slowly spoke, her voice empty and majestic, setting the tone for this secret meeting. "Order: From now on, all ministries will follow Kraken Plan and act. The bright place should be like the tranquility of the deep sea; the dark place, the roots should be like the extension of the rift valley. Observe the changes in the continent's faith in detail, and if there is an opportunity... you can also add fuel to the flames. After all, the stronger the flame of faith burns, the deeper the shadow that its light cannot reach will become deeper."

"I will obey your Majesty's orders!" Kraken, Huben, Tieshan, Mo Yuan all bowed their heads in agreement.
