A few months later, the Douluo Continent situation.
The arrival of Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island, like the blue torrent of seven Purification natural disasters, quickly swept through the areas where Evil Soul Master was most rampant. They were not like Ye Qingning's " "Holy Sword" worked step by step and took root at the grassroots level, but relied on absolute strength and thunderous means to launch Targeted Elimination on the proven and larger Evil Soul Master strongholds and dens.
The sacred Sea God's Power removes the filth. With the cooperation of seven Super Douluo, the ordinary Evil Soul Master forces are simply vulnerable. They often fail to organize a decent resistance and turn into ashes in the vast blue light.
After being ravaged by Evil Soul Master, the mainland people witnessed this miraculous arrival and salvation with their own eyes, and their faith and gratitude for Sea God and Sea God Island quickly heated up and spread.
Many towns and villages on the verge of collapse began to spontaneously build simple Sea God shrines and pray day and night. Wherever Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island goes, it not only eliminates evil dangers, but also holds brief blessing ceremonies and sows Sea God's Light, which has a healing effect, further consolidated faith and won people's hearts. For a time, "Sea God glory" almost overshadowed the reputation previously accumulated by "Holy Sword".
However, beneath this glorious action on the surface, the undercurrent is still surging according to the established trajectory.
One night, Sea God Island and Coral Family were stationed.
The soft light of Fluorescent Coral reflects the eternally gorgeous purple-blue gradient dress of Demon Empress, and the unfathomable majesty of the person sitting on the main seat. Tieshan and Mo Yuan stand in the shadows on both sides, their breaths calm.
An extremely slight sound of breaking through the air sounded, almost blending into the night wind. In the corner of the secret room, a place that was supposed to be a solid Coral Douluo wall rippled like water waves. A dark blue figure, like a swift that melted into the water, quietly "slid" in and knelt down on one knee.
It is Sea Swallow Sacred Pillar Guardian! He still looks capable and calm, wearing Sea God Island Sacred Pillar Guardian Hua The Sea Swallow coat of arms on his chest was vivid. But at this moment, the piety and sharpness belonging to the Sea God Island guardian in his eyes had faded away, leaving only absolute submission and calmness.
"See Your Majesty." Sea Swallow Douluo lowered his head and saluted, his voice very low.
Demon Empress's starry eyes swept over him calmly, and nodded slightly. "Say."
"Follow your orders." Sea Swallow Douluo spoke clearly and quickly, "It has been more than three months since Seven Sacred Pillars landed. Seventeen large-scale Evil Soul Master strongholds were cleared, and nine Evil Soul Master leaders of Soul Douluo level were killed, as well as countless Evil Soul Master leaders below Soul Saint.
The mainland people's faith has returned significantly to Sea God Island. In accordance with the "deep instructions" previously reserved by His Majesty, the three of us guided the operations and meetings without leaving any trace, focusing on the targets that slightly overlapped with the "Holy Sword" activity area, or that may threaten the deep-sea latent resource points, and moderately promoted their achievements and downplayed the awareness of potential competition.
At present, the attitude of the remaining four Sacred Pillar towards 'Holy Sword' and Ye Qingning is mainly observation and exploitation, and they have no intention of directly suppressing them."
"High Priest stays behind Sea God Island, sitting in the center, keeping in touch with us through remote magic, and conveying the details of the oracle. The daily defense of the island is handled by the chief guards of each palace and the Sea Soul Beast regiment. Except for High Priest, there are currently no other Titled Douluo level combat forces permanently stationed." He particularly emphasized the last point.
"My subordinate returned this time on the pretext of inspecting the rear supply lines and 'happening' to find a 'suspected ancient evil formation ruins' that needed to be reported urgently. In order to prevent tracking, my subordinate used Sea Swallow Spirit Empire to detour to the open sea and sneak up many times. It took several days longer than the normal emergency report to arrive. There should be no risk of exposure."
Sea Swallow Douluo's report was concise and comprehensive, clearly outlining the current situation on the mainland's frontline and Sea God Island's rear. Especially the information that Sea God Island's internal defenses were unprecedentedly empty made Tieshan, who was standing by, flash a fierce light in his eyes, and Mo Yuan also wavered slightly.
Demon Empress's beautiful face was still neither happy nor sad. He tapped the armrest of Coral Douluo with his fingertips, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Tang San... are there other oracles coming down? Is there any special...'blessing' for High Priest?"
Sea Swallow Douluo thought for a moment and replied, "Since Seven Sacred Pillars went on the expedition, it was clear that there was only one oracle, and it was to commend the early results, and to urge the continuation of the campaign to consolidate the faith.
As for High Priest... during the last long-distance spiritual communication before departure, my subordinate vaguely felt that High Priest's aura was deeper and more obscure than before, and the resonance with Sea God Island seemed to be stronger, but its specific cultivation level is difficult to accurately judge.
According to the humble opinion of my subordinates, since Sea God Tang San dares to let Seven Sacred Pillars go out in force and leave High Priest alone to guard the holy land, there must be support. This support is probably... the direct gift or blessing of divine power."
Tieshan finally couldn't hold it back, and his deep voice sounded like Rock friction, "Your Majesty, this opportunity cannot be missed! Sea God Island is empty, High Priest alone, even with the blessing of divine power, how long can we sustain it? If I wait for this moment to gather the elite and raid the Holy Land, we will be able to..."
"Tieshan." Demon Empress's ethereal voice sounded. It was not harsh, but it made Tieshan shut up instantly. Her eyes turned to the shadow on the other side, where there was a seemingly inconspicuous, dark blue, strange Conch Douluo with starlight flowing inside. E--"Deep Wave Sound-Transmission Conch", a strange object composed of Ten-Thousand-Year sound transmission shell and space crystal core Refining, can stably transmit spiritual messages and short sounds over extremely long distances, and is one of the highest-level communication tools for deep-sea forces.
Demon Empress's fingertips moved slightly, and a trace of pure dark divine power was injected into Conch Douluo. The starlight on the surface of Conch Douluo suddenly brightened, emitting a low hum, and an invisible and stable spiritual connection was quickly established across the boundless sea.
Almost at the same time, in the west of the Douluo Continent, on a deserted coast near the border of the original Sun-Moon Empire, in the Concealment cave under the steep cliff.
Kraken is sitting cross-legged on a dry reef, his gray robe stained with fine sea salt and dust, closing his eyes and concentrating. On the ground beside him, there is also a "Deep Wave Sound-Transmission Conch", which is emitting a slight buzz and light in synchronization with a small group of faint blue water balls suspended in front of him.
Link established.
"Kraken." Demon Empress's voice sounded directly in the depths of Kraken's consciousness through the connection, ethereal and clear, accompanied by the resonance of Conch Douluo.
"Your Majesty." Kraken responded in his heart. His eyes were still open, but his energy was fully concentrated. Through the connection, he also "heard" the essence of what Sea Swallow Douluo had just reported, especially the two points of Sea God Island's empty defense and High Priest's abnormal aura.
The brief silence was as Kraken quickly digested and analyzed the information.
"Sea Swallow's information is very valuable." Kraken's thoughts were sent back through the connection, calmly, "Sea God Island is empty inside. With such a good opportunity, some radical people inside Sea Soul Beast may be ready to take action and it will be difficult to restrain them."
His analysis is like cold water, flowing through the connection to the deep sea chamber. "However, my subordinates think that this is not a good opportunity, but actually a trap or a test."
"Test?" Demon Empress's thoughts came with a question.
"Test our patience and judgment." Kraken said calmly, "Your Majesty, Tang San, the Lord of Dual Godhood, is so thoughtful and calculating. How long-term? How could he not know that Seven Sacred Pillars is in full force and the defense of the Holy Land will be at its lowest point? How could he really risk the safety of the Holy Land by relying on the barrier of faith and the illusory 'awe' of Sea Soul Beast?"
Without waiting for a response, he continued to analyze, and his thoughts were firm. "It is absolutely impossible. The only basis for him to dare to act like this is the belief that even if Seven Sacred Pillars is not here, the Holy Land will be impregnable. Ninety-nine percent of the source of this confidence is tied to High Priest who is left behind."
"Sea Swallow senses that High Priest's aura is obscure and deep, and the resonance with the Holy Land has increased sharply. This is proof." Kraken's thoughts passed through the connection, with cold insights, "Belong to It is inferred that Tang San may have been administered Secret Art before Seven Sacred Pillars left the island, and part of Sea God Divine Power was temporarily assigned to High Priest.
Within the scope of the Holy Land, it can exceed the limits of ordinary people in a short period of time, and even touch God Level. This power may not be enough for an expedition, but sticking to the core of Sea God Island, supplemented by the Ten-Thousand-Year formation of the Holy Land and the foundation of faith, is enough to defend or even counterattack any invading Ferocious Beast army."
"If we make a move at this moment and mass a strong attack, the best thing is to get a bloody head-on, lose the troops and generals, and it is difficult to shake the foundation. It will reveal where we are hiding, causing Tang San and Sea God Island to pursue them with all their strength, and disrupt His Majesty's overall plan. The worst..." Kraken's thoughts paused slightly, and the chill could be clearly felt through the connection, "I'm afraid Tang San will use it to 'kill the chicken to scare the monkeys', reestablish Sea God's supreme power, and frighten all the races in the deep sea..."
There was silence in the deep sea secret room. The fierce light in Tieshan's eyes gradually faded and turned into solemnity. Mo Yuan's shadow was silent. Sea Swallow lowered his head, feeling deeper in awe of this Master who was far away across the ocean but pointed directly to the core.
"What do you mean?" came Demon Empress's thoughts, and the answer was already reflected in his starry eyes.
"Hold still, wait for changes, and accumulate strength." Kraken's thoughts were resolute, and through the Conch Douluo starlight, he was extremely firm. "Not only can we wait, but we also need to use the Concealment channel to 'remind' those beasts in the deep sea that may have been blinded by greed. Attacking the island at this time is just asking for death. Let them calm down."
"Our core lies in the continuation and balance of the chaos in the mainland, in the growth of Ye Qingning and the stirring up of Feng Yun, in the 'Intelligence Awakening' strategy and the hidden edge of the Soul Beast army, in the long-term penetration and erosion of Sea God Island. To storm the holy land, the best strategy is the courage of an ordinary man."
"Let Sea God Island enjoy the glory of his 'savior', and let Seven Sacred Pillars continue to entangle and consume the evil spirits and the forces in the mainland. All we have to do is lie in wait, accumulate strength, and lay the net. When the divine power borrowed by High Priest fades, or the changes in the mainland change in my favor, or when the three Sacred Pillar gain key authority and the time is ripe..."
The words are not finished yet, but the meaning has been reached. The light and patience in the depths of the ice-blue eyes that came through the connection have already explained everything.
Demon Empress finished listening quietly. On top of her beautiful face, a faint smile that could make the stars eclipse quietly appeared. She lifted her fingertips from the Coral Douluo armrest and tapped it lightly in the void, as if The Buddha placed a steady piece on the chessboard that was invisible but covered the heaven and earth. His eyes passed over the Deep Wave Sound-Transmission Conch with the flowing stars, and across the vastness, he met Kraken in the cliff cave of the mainland, and his mind met.
"Accurate."
"Instruction: Deep-Sea Soul Beast, hide in hiding and act according to the established strategy. Do not act rashly without my personal instructions. Sea Swallow, you have done a good job. Return to the mainland immediately and lurk as usual. Pay close attention to the evolution of Sea God Island's final attitude towards 'Holy Sword' and Angel Martial Soul."
"Yes!" Sea Swallow Douluo, Tieshan, and Mo Yuan agreed in unison. In the mainland cliff cave, the light of the blue water ball in front of Kraken and Deep Wave Sound-Transmission Conch slowly converged simultaneously, and the connection gradually weakened, and finally became silent, leaving only the eternal echo of the waves tapping the cliff wall outside the cave.
