"Elder Mu has worked hard all the way, but he was frightened again. However, the oracle has given out, and the time is urgent. Sea Swallow," he looked at Sea Swallow Douluo, "You immediately take Elder Mu to the place where the 'Sea God's Light' preliminary examination is, and prepare to accept God Trial! The rest of the matters will be discussed later!"
He directly skipped the remembrance, mourning and follow-up treatment of Crayfish Douluo's death, and did not even ask more about the return of Coral Douluo and Conch Douluo. He put all his energy and hope on the execution of this final oracle.
It seems that only by completing God Trial as soon as possible and stabilizing the "Faith Anchor" from Shrek can we grab the last life-saving straw for Sea God Island in this boundless darkness and the ensuing blows.
"Yes! I will obey the decree of High Priest!" Sea Swallow Douluo immediately bowed to accept the order. The "sorrow and anger" on his face quickly subsided and he returned to his ability. He turned to Mu Yun and made a gesture of invitation. "Elder Mu, please follow me."
Mu Yun suppressed all the thoughts in his heart, and felt a complex admiration for High Priest, who still held up the situation despite such heavy losses and never forgot the oracle. He cupped his fists and said, "Thank you Sea Swallow Sacred Pillar."
Sea Swallow no longer delayed, led Mu Yun, turned into two streams of light, and rushed towards the "Sea God's Light" deep in Sea God Island, which symbolizes supreme opportunity and test.
...(a few months later)
The huge body of the deep sea Kraken is suspended quietly, and its eight tentacles are like sleeping ancient dragons, slowly stirring the surrounding cold sea water. Those ice-blue eyes are accurately calculating time.
"Mid-October... converted to the Divine Realm time, it's about... around eight o'clock in the evening."
This idea clearly emerged in Kraken's consciousness. For ordinary Soul Beast and even human Soul Master, this is just another ordinary night. But for Kraken--In other words, for Kraken, who has the soul of a time traveler and knows part of the "original" trajectory and the underlying rules of the Divine Realm, this point in time has extraordinary strategic significance.
Divine Realm One day, Lower Realm one year. This iron rule that he knew very well, but could never reveal even half a cent to any "local" existence, was one of the core reference coordinates in all his long-term plans. Revealing this was tantamount to exposing the most incredible Concealment in his soul Origin.
"This time is the time for that little guy (Tang Wutong) to be put to sleep." In Kraken's consciousness, Simulation appeared in the Divine Realm Sea God Mansion, a heartwarming scene that might have happened in the Divine Realm Sea God Mansion: Tang San, who had faded away from the majesty of God King, He would probably put aside his official duties temporarily and stay with Xiao Wu who needed to recuperate, watching tenderly at the crystallization of their love - the sculpted baby girl who was destined to be extraordinary, slowly falling asleep to the sound of her mother's lullaby or her father's low-pitched stories.
It is natural for parents to pay attention to their children. Especially newborns, especially for them who have gone through hardships before finally being reunited. This family happiness is the softest part of human nature and divinity. And this softness, at a certain moment, will become... a fleeting flaw.
Kraken is not arrogant enough to think that he can challenge God King head-on, even if it is just his gaze. But he knows very well that the gods' attention to the Lower Realm, especially the "daily" attention to the direct inheritance area and not a matter of life and death, fluctuates in "intensity" and "frequency".
At the Divine Realm at night, during family time, while dealing with other spiritual matters, especially... when the mind is entangled by the joy of new life and the tenderness of guardianship, the "eyesight" that spans the two worlds will inevitably be scattered and delayed.
This is the window he is waiting for. A window in which Tang San's attention is likely to be attracted by his wife and daughter for a short period of time, but "safely" enough. A window in which Sea God's perception of the Lower Realm, especially Sea God Island's "daily" affairs, may be extremely weakly "delayed" or "blurred".
"Huben." Kraken's deep voice sounded through the water and sounded in the silent abyss.
Not far away, the huge black shadow of Evil Orca King Huben slowly swam closer, its scarlet eyes like two small lanterns in the darkness. "Master."
"Sea God Island, what's happening recently?" Kraken asked, his tone calm.
Huben responded immediately, his voice carrying the usual ferocity and a hint of imperceptible solemnity. "Return to Master, Sea God Island now... almost exhausted all resources to surround the person who was brought back from Shrek The old guy who came here was transferred to High Priest himself, and the remaining Sacred Pillar took turns to protect him. All the defense and vigilance focus were placed near the altar of 'Sea God's Light'. It seems that he really regarded the old guy as a life-saving straw."
"Then... how is he doing now?" Kraken's ice-blue eyes were filled with light.
Mentioning this, Huben's tone was obviously a bit unbelievable and gloomy. "Evil! That old guy named Mu Yun, it is said that Spirit Empire is Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Although it is good, the God Trial he accepted... is ridiculously simple! It's like Sea God fed rice into his mouth!"
It paused, and seemed to be organizing words to describe the strange speed. "In just a few months... it is said that he suddenly upgraded from the original ordinary Titled Douluo configuration of two yellows, two purples, and five blacks to one purple, seven blacks, and one red! The first Nine Soul Ring directly turned into Hundred-Thousand-Year! Moreover, Soul Power's cultivation level is also skyrocketing, and it is said that it has reached the threshold of level ninety-five! This speed... is unheard of!"
One purple, seven black, and one red! In just a few months! This can no longer be described as "God Trial's favor", it is simply empowered and tailor-made by the gods! Even the top Black Level Assessment, and even the top Red Level Assessment, are rarely so exaggerated and almost ignored Soul Master's own accumulation and bottleneck improvement speed! This can only mean one thing - Sea God attaches great importance to this "Faith Anchor" far beyond ordinary, and may even use some means beyond the conventional assessment rules to forcefully "ripen" it!
Kraken was silent for a moment, and in the depths of his ice-blue eyes, a hint of understanding and cold calculation flashed. Sure enough... Under the multiple pressures of loss of faith, powerful enemies, and internal instability, Sea God also became anxious.
He needed a "benchmark" that was strong enough, eye-catching enough, and could quickly condense and stabilize the mainland's beliefs. This veteran Titled Douluo, who came from Shrek, had inextricable connections with the Tang Sect and Clear Sky Sect, and had decent cultivation and character, was undoubtedly a suitable candidate. Therefore, he speeded up his "investment" at any cost.
"It's time." Kraken spoke slowly, eight words, but in the deep sea they were as heavy as Qian Jun.
Huben's scarlet eyes shrank suddenly. "Master, you mean... do it now? Isn't this... too risky? That Mu Yun is now watched by Sea God personally! If we move him now, wouldn't we directly hit the muzzle of Sea God's gun? Even if he is distracted for a moment, once he notices..."
"Don't worry," Kraken interrupted Huben's worries, his voice was still calm, but with an unquestionable certainty and unfathomable chill, "I know what's going on."
His huge head turned slightly, looking towards what seemed like infinite heights, the direction where Divine Realm might exist.
"Huben," Kraken ordered, "You immediately go to the outer waters of Sea God Island to lurk. Immediately lead the group and cooperate with several other groups lurking nearby. Sea Soul Beast troops, launch a feint attack! The scale should be large and the momentum should be fierce, but don't fight to the death, in order to contain the remaining defense forces of Sea God Island, create chaos, and coordinate with Coral Douluo, do they understand?"
"Yes! Master! I understand!" Huben's eyes showed fierceness and he followed the order and left.
