The Sea God's Oracle

"Shut up!!!"

A terrifying roar that seemed to tear through the starry sky suddenly exploded forth!

The seemingly timeless black dragon skeleton suddenly burst forth with a monstrous black light, and a jet-black dragon soul, so solid it was almost tangible yet appeared wild and chaotic, soared into the sky!

Having endured tens of thousands of years, it is not a complete soul, but the unparalleled pressure and rage of the Dark Dragon King still make the entire meteorite region tremble!

"You unfilial son! How dare you speak ill of your mother!!!"

The Dark Dragon King's dragon soul had bloodshot eyes, devoid of any of its former rigid composure, replaced only by a furious rage that had touched its deepest taboos.

He didn't even take human form; his enormous dragon soul, imbued with the power of the laws of annihilation and darkness, crashed down upon Di Tian like a collapsing sky! It was as if he had lost all reason in his rage.

The violent surge of darkness instantly engulfed the area where Di Tian was, and terrifying energy turbulence tore through space, emitting a piercing wail.

The Fire Dragon King and Water Dragon King beside him were startled by this sudden outburst, their dragon bodies trembling. Was this really the Dark Dragon King they knew?

However, when the smoke and black light dissipated, Di Tian still stood in the same spot, not even a hem of his clothes was torn. He simply blocked the Dark Dragon King's furious attack with a thin layer of divine power flowing around him.

The Dark Dragon King is now only a remnant soul, and his strength is far less than before.

"..." The menacing dark dragon soul floated in mid-air, its golden dragon eyes staring at its unharmed son, but with an even greater sense of astonishment.

"Pfft..." The Fire Dragon King couldn't help but almost spit out sparks with laughter. He quickly covered his mouth with his claws, his huge dragon shoulders twitching suspiciously.

The Water Dragon King shook his head helplessly, his eyes filled with emotion. Who could have imagined that the Dark Dragon King, once the most dignified and aloof law enforcement captain in the Dragon Clan, would one day lose his composure and... fly into a rage like an ordinary male? Sure enough, when it comes to the Light Dragon King, all his principles can be thrown to the winds.

Looking at his father's somewhat comical yet heartbreakingly angry dragon soul, Di Tian felt no pride, but rather a deeper sorrow.

He dispelled the protective divine light, his tone softening, tinged with weariness. "Father, your attack was ineffective against me, not because you are weak, but because times have changed, and we have all experienced too much. What I said just now may have been disrespectful, but it was to awaken you."

He glanced at the Fire Dragon King, who was still suppressing a laugh, and the Water Dragon King, who seemed lost in thought, and nodded slightly.

The Water Dragon King understood, gracefully stepping forward. His azure light, carrying a soothing power, began to speak gently to the still-angry, yet clearly more bewildered and anxious, dark dragon soul:

"Your Majesty, Dark Dragon King, please calm your wrath. What Di Tian said is neither false nor presumptuous. Since the end of the Dragon God era, our race has suffered a great calamity, almost annihilating... However, hope has not been extinguished. Now, a new Divine Realm has been rebuilt, order is gradually being restored, and there are even methods of reincarnation and resurrection, which are not mere illusions..."

The Fire Dragon King also joined in, his tone still fiery, but he added earnestly, "Exactly! Darkness, stop being so stubborn! Your son is incredibly capable now, and the Lord has awakened. The remains of our clansmen that we've found, as long as their souls haven't dissipated, have a chance to be reunited and their dragon bodies restored! We're also searching for your Light Dragon King with all our might! What are you doing locking yourself up here? If we really find her, are you planning to leave her all alone?!"

The Dark Dragon King's dragon soul slowly coiled in the air, its eyes gradually losing their ferocity, leaving only deep shock and disbelief.

He listened as the Ice Fire Dragon King spoke, one after the other, recounting the current state of the Dragon Clan, the changes in the Divine Realm, and the principles and hopes of resurrection and reincarnation...

Hope... resurrection... can she come back?

Once this thought took root, it spread like wildfire, instantly burning away all his stubbornness and despair.

The flickering light of the dragon soul revealed the intense turmoil within him.

He looked at Di Tian with an extremely complex expression, a mixture of anger, embarrassment, guilt, and anticipation... In the end, all his emotions coalesced into a long sigh, and the light of the dragon soul finally stabilized. Although it remained illusory, it was no longer chaotic.

He remained silent for a long time before finally uttering a muffled sentence to Di Tian:

"What you just said was... meant to provoke me?"

Although it was a question, the tone had softened.

Di Tian finally revealed a relieved smile, and replied respectfully but firmly, "Yes, Father. If Mother were here, she would have searched for you immediately."

The Dark Dragon King's soul fell silent, but quietly withdrew all its power...

The light that had just stabilized from the remnant soul of the Dark Dragon King suddenly contracted the moment it finished processing the information about the "possibility of resurrection," and then burst forth with a chilling, profound aura.

It was no longer simple anger or sadness, but a kind of obsession that had been accumulating for thousands of years of loneliness and was suddenly ignited by the most fervent desire.

His enormous dragon soul phantom lowered slightly, its head turned towards Di Tian, the soul fire flickering in its eye sockets almost solidified, locked tightly onto its son.

"Find her..." The Dark Dragon King's voice was terribly hoarse. "Find her remains, her soul! If we find her, we can be resurrected, right? We can... see her again, right?"

Every word seemed to be squeezed out by him with all his might, filled with a desperate madness.

The resolve to commit suicide for love crumbles in the face of the possibility of "rekindling their love," replaced by a deeper, more profound obsession—this time, not for dying together, but for living and reuniting!

He no longer waited for Di Tian or the Ice Fire Dragon King's reply; his dragon soul surged violently. "Go back! Take me back! Begin immediately! Use any means necessary, search! You must find it!"

His demeanor was completely devoid of the composure and rigidity of the former captain of the Dragon God's Guard.

This obsession born of love was so intense that even the Ice Fire Dragon King, who was observing from the sidelines, felt an invisible pressure.

The Fire Dragon King grinned, his whiskers trembling, and whispered to the Water Dragon King in his soul, "Good heavens... Darkness is usually so quiet, but the moment light is mentioned, it's like he transforms into a dragon... How come I never noticed before?"

The Water Dragon King deeply agreed, gently swaying his tail as a soft, azure light enveloped the Dark Dragon King, attempting to soothe his overly agitated state, which had even caused his soul to become somewhat unstable. "Your Majesty, we understand your feelings. Resurrection is indeed possible, but it requires careful consideration and prudent action. Searching for the remains of His Light Dragon King is precisely what we have been pursuing."

Seeing his father's distraught state, Di Tian felt a mix of emotions.

He said in a deep voice, "Father, please calm down. The method of resurrection requires a complete soul essence and relatively intact remains, or at least sufficiently powerful remains as a catalyst and vessel. Finding Mother is the long-cherished wish of all of us, but..."

He paused, his gaze sweeping across the boundless sea of stars, his tone grave. "Back then, during the internal strife in the Divine Realm, the Divine Realm wall collapsed, and the turbulent flow of spacetime swept everything away. You and Mother... though you perished in each other's arms, under such immense power, your remains were swept into different spacetime rifts and scattered. Even you couldn't pinpoint the exact location of Mother's remains, could you?"

The Dark Dragon King's dragon soul suddenly paused, and the fervent urgency seemed to have been doused with ice water, cooling down slightly, but the obsessive light in his eyes became even deeper.

Chapter 347 The Oracle of the Sea God

This Sea God was able to find a different path under the pressure of the Angel God, uniting the faith of millions of Sea Soul Master and Sea Soul Beast, and forging a path to godhood. His tenacity and profound thinking were not something that ordinary setbacks could easily destroy.

After a brief period of pain and weakness, I immediately regained consciousness.

The Divine Realm is no longer reliable!

The Asura God is currently too weak to protect himself.

That doesn't mean it doesn't exist elsewhere; there are exceptionally talented geniuses in the Divine Realm, Douluo Continent, and the Dragon Clan...

When the Sea God ascended to godhood, the order of the Divine Realm had already been largely established, and the glory and tragedy of the Dragon God era had long been buried in the dust of time.

But from the few fragments he gleaned during his long life, he was able to piece together the terrifying power and might of the Dragon Clan.

The thought of seeking refuge with the Dragon Clan only crossed his mind for a moment before the Sea God rationally suppressed it after all other options, relegating it to a last resort.

The reason is simple: the Divine Realm and the Dragon Clan have long been bound by an irreconcilable blood feud and absolute antagonism.

That is a fundamental contradiction involving the survival of the race, the struggle for power, and the change of order.

Poseidon, as a righteous god in the Divine Realm, even if he surrenders, in the eyes of the Dragon Clan he would probably only be a "foreign god" who needs to be guarded against, used, or even eliminated in the end. He would hardly gain true trust and acceptance, and his fate would most likely be tragic.

He wouldn't consider this path unless he was on the verge of desperation.

······

With his thoughts clear, Sea God immediately began to act. He suppressed the corruption of the God of Evil divine power in his mind and began to mobilize his vast network of faith, which, although damaged, still had a solid foundation.

His divine sense, like invisible tentacles, silently pierced through the barrier of the Divine Realm along countless threads of faith, precisely locating the high priest on Douluo Star with whom he had the closest connection to his faith: Bo Saixi.

Although Bo Saixi is currently imprisoned in the dungeon of the Spirit Hall Empire, the Sea God is not particularly surprised by this, and even... feels that this may not be entirely a bad thing.

"The Spirit Hall Empire... didn't kill her immediately," Sea God analyzed. "What are they waiting for? To persuade her to surrender?"

He believed this was very likely. Bo Saixi was not only the high priestess of Sea God Island, but also a female powerhouse with stunning beauty, a sacred aura, and top-tier talent and strength. In Poseidon's view, such a powerful and "valuable" female captive would be of extremely high "absorption" value to any empire aspiring to unify the continent's power.

"Perhaps... this could be a starting point." The Sea God needs to use Bo Saixi, a pawn that might be "specially watched," to do some things that he cannot do personally in the Divine Realm at the moment.

As for Bo Saixi's own wishes, that didn't matter. The Sea God had great faith in this loyal high priestess.

An extremely subtle divine thought silently seeped along the link of faith towards the dungeon of the Douluo Star Martial Soul Empire.

····································

Deep within the dungeon, eternal darkness and silence prevailed. Bo Saixi sat cross-legged on the cold ground, her long silver hair cascading loosely. Her eyes were closed, her hands clasped together, her posture maintaining the solemnity and piety characteristic of a high priest.

She prayed. Day after day, she poured out her heart, pleaded, and confessed to that distant and sublime being, her only faith— the Sea God Poseidon. She prayed for the protection of Sea God Island, for guidance to those who were lost, for... even just a slight response, to let her know that she and her people had not been abandoned.

However, the response was like a stone sinking into the sea. Since her imprisonment, that once clear and warm divine connection seemed to have completely fallen silent. She told herself that the gods had their own considerations; perhaps she was not devout enough, or perhaps the time was not yet right.

But deep down, the anxiety and unease that grew with the passage of time were impossible to suppress.

Just today, just as she was about to reduce this prayer to yet another hopeless silence—

A familiar, vast, ocean-like surge of energy suddenly trembled deep within her soul!

But without a doubt, that was the Lord Sea God!

Bo Saixi's eyes widened suddenly, and an astonishing light burst forth in her azure pupils—the excitement and ecstasy of seeing the only glimmer of hope in a desperate situation.

She straightened up almost instinctively, her face replacing the weariness and worry with an almost burning devotion.

The Lord Sea God has finally responded!

Sea God Island is saved!

"Your Majesty, the Lord Sea God!" Bo Saixi cried out urgently in her mind, her voice trembling. "Bo Saixi has finally received your guidance! Sea God Island is now... the Spirit Hall Empire is powerful, the believers are in a state of panic, and our heritage is threatened... We beg Your Majesty to have mercy, to bestow your divine power, to protect your people, and to guide us out of this predicament!" She couldn't wait to pour out her long-suppressed predicament and hopes. In her completely brainwashed mind, the Sea God was omnipotent. If He so desired, He could overthrow the Spirit Hall Empire's fleet with a single thought, restoring peace and honor to Sea God Island.

She firmly believed that, as both were descendants of deities, the Spirit Hall Empire would inevitably yield before the true will of the Sea God.

She could imagine the majestic figure of the Lord Sea God descending, divine light shining forth, dispelling all gloom...

However, her devout and urgent prayers did not receive the response she had hoped for.

"Bo Saixi," the Sea God interrupted her, his tone leaving no room for argument, "the Godhood Inheritance is imminent."

"As the High Priest, you must fulfill your final duty. Depart immediately for... Doria's side, and protect her until the succession is complete."

Doria?! That girl... who might have already "defected" to the Spirit Hall Empire?

Bo Saixi's mind was in turmoil. The Sea God's attitude towards Doria was far too friendly. In her view, Doria's behavior was almost a "betrayal" of the Sea God's faith. She had originally thought that even if the Lord Sea God initially favored Doria, he should have punished her or even replaced her after she showed closeness to the Spirit Hall Empire.

But the Lord Sea God's oracle... completely ignored Doria's "disloyalty," and instead insisted on making her the successor, even demanding that he, the high priest most loyal to the Sea God, protect her, and even... ultimately sacrifice himself.

"Lord Sea God, I..." Bo Saixi instinctively wanted to ask, to express her confusion and situation.

But the Sea God's divine will did not linger for a moment. After conveying this brief divine message, the connection was abruptly severed, leaving Bo Saixi alone to face the echo in her mind.

Bo Saixi, of course, understood what the Sea God meant.

Sea God doesn't help, Bo Saixi leaves, the only option is to follow Doria's example and join the Spirit Hall Empire.

After Poseidon severed his connection with Bo Saixi, his face, tainted with God of Evil, showed little concern for the high priest's plight.

He is indeed about to inherit the divine position, but not now.

··············

Meanwhile, in the shadowy corner of the Asura God Temple, Tang San did not sit idly by and await his fate. Although he lived under the watchful eye of the Asura God every day and constantly felt the fear of his life hanging by a thread, he also glimpsed a special "opportunity" in this perilous situation.

The Asura God strictly restricted his ability to actively cultivate and improve his cultivation, which brought his Soul Power growth to a near standstill. However, this was, after all, the Divine Realm! A supreme being with complete laws and an energy level far exceeding that of the lower realms.

Unable to improve his cultivation, Tang San turned his attention to the foundation of his life in his previous life— the Tang Sect Secret Arts and Hidden Weapon.
