Mythical-Tier Battle! The Prelude!

"What did you say?!"

The Sea God, the hundred-meter-tall giant formed from seawater, looked solemnly at Su Jiujiu beside Qi Qingmo and asked, "Qingqiu Ancient Mountain was attacked by Elder Tree and Lord of Extinction together?"

Only then did the Sea God notice Su Jiujiu's presence.

Previously, all his attention had been focused on Qi Qingmo, constantly on guard against this Daoist woman who had turned the various regions of the Origin Land upside down.

"Yes, Elder Tree and Lord of Extinction are attacking Qingqiu Ancient Mountain together. Right now, only Auntie is struggling to maintain the Mountain Protection Array and resist their combined attack."

Su Jiujiu answered anxiously.

Although she was anxious, she did not dare to urge a Mythical Tier being to go to Qingqiu Ancient Mountain for rescue immediately. She simply stated the matter honestly.

The Sea God did not fully believe Su Jiujiu's words.

His ability to evolve from a weak aquatic creature into a hegemon ruling the Eastern Region that caution and prudence were indispensable qualities.

Otherwise, even the most brilliant genius would have long since vanished into the depths of history amidst various crises.

"Uproar!"

A loud bang was heard.

The hundred-meter-tall giant, formed from seawater, instantly collapsed into countless water droplets that fell onto the sea surface, creating splashes.

As the 100-meter giant collapsed.

A lithe figure emerged from the sea.

Instantly, it rose high into the sky, parallel to Qi Qingmo.

It is a man—the true form of the Sea God.

Its appearance was the same as the hundred-meter giant from before, only its size had increased to over two meters tall, and it possessed a flesh and blood body brimming with vitality.

Under the watchful eyes of several people.

The Sea God conjured a crystal-clear bead in his hand out of thin air, dripped a drop of his Essence Blood onto the bead, and muttered strange incantations.

Upon hearing these delirious murmurs, Shen Qinghan's expression shifted slightly.

Then, turning his head to look at Lin Zichen beside him, he secretly transmitted his voice through his blood and said, "Lin Zi, this murmur is very similar to the murmur that I heard in my mind before. It's not that the sound and appearance are similar, but the language sounds very similar."

Lin Zichen wasn't surprised at all, and calmly replied telepathically, "This precisely proves that the inheritance within you is that of the Water God. The Water God and the Sea God speak the same language, which makes perfect sense."

Shen Qinghan nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly.

Lin Zichen transmitted his voice again through his blood and qi. "Have you noticed that the Sea God in front of us looks exactly like a figure from a mural we saw in the Undersea Ruins?"

"How so?"

Shen Qinghan didn't notice that the Sea God looked like any of the figures in the mural; in terms of the ability to notice details, she was far inferior to Lin Zichen.

Lin Zichen explained to her, "The mural we saw earlier depicted a group of aquatic creatures of extremely high status, all worshipping a mysterious woman lying inside a seashell with expressions of awe."

"I suspect the mysterious woman inside the seashell is most likely the so-called Water God."

"And the Sea God before us appears in that mural."

"His role in the mural is that of a physically strong gatekeeper."

Even from the gate, He knelt on the ground like the other aquatic creatures, worshipping the mysterious woman with a devout expression.

"..."

"A Mythical Tier powerhouse capable of dominating a region is actually just a gatekeeper?"

After hearing Lin Zichen's explanation, Shen Qinghan was deeply shocked.

She could hardly believe that the powerful sea Sea God before her was just a lowly gatekeeper.

In comparison, just how powerful must the Water God be?

On the other side.

During the time Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan communicated through the transmission of qi and blood.

Qi Qingmo heard everything.

She now practices Qi and blood cultivation, and is actually the founder of this field.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan's telepathic communication could not escape her perception.

She listened quietly to their conversation without making any move.

Opposite.

The Sea God was still muttering to the beads in his hand.

Suddenly, the color of the bead changed from a crystal-clear light blue to a deep, dark black.

Upon seeing this, the Sea God frowned deeply, his expression extremely solemn.

The bead in His hand can foresee the future trajectory of a living being.

What He had just witnessed was the future trajectory of Su Meixiao, the Mountain Lord of Qingqiu Ancient Mountain.

The beads turning completely black indicates a terrible future.

A deep, dark black color indicates something exceptionally bad.

"Extremely bad" refers to death, or something worse than death, a fate worse than death.

At this moment, the Sea God could no longer remain seated.

Su Meixiao, the Mountain Master of Qingqiu Ancient Mountain, is an old flame whom He met when He was still a Rare Tier creature.

Their friendship spanning several eras was enough for Him to risk His life to rescue Su Meixiao.

"Daoist-robed woman, come with me to Qingqiu Ancient Mountain to participate in the rescue. Just name your reward."

The Sea God opened his deep blue eyes, which rippled like the surface of the sea, and stared directly at Qi Qingmo, who was at the same level as him.

Qi Qingmo said calmly, "I want the bead you're holding."

"Take it!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the Sea God flung the bead in his hand at Qi Qingmo.

Then, several more crystal-clear glass bottles filled with unknown liquids were thrown out.

"These glass bottles contain the Origin Water Essence, which would take at least an entire epoch to condense into a small bottle."

"The Origin Water Essence is one of the essential substances for the origin of all things. According to records in ancient Ruins, the ancestors of all living beings in the Origin Land were born from a vast ocean composed of the Origin Water Essence."

"Legend has it that the Water God, one of the oldest Origin Land Deity, was the first being born from the Origin Water Essence."

"It is no exaggeration to say that just a single drop of the Origin Water Essence can allow a Legendary Tier creature that has reached the end of its evolutionary path to break through the limitations of evolution and have the potential to evolve into Mythical Tier creature."

"The reason I'm giving you these precious bottles of Origin Water Essence is that I hope you can give it your all in the upcoming rescue operation at Qingqiu Ancient Mountain."

The Sea God was worried that Qi Qingmo might not put in her full effort, so he specially gave her several extra bottles of Origin Water Essence.

Qi Qingmo waved his hand, catching several glass bottles that were thrown at him.

The moment her hand touched the glass bottle, she immediately sensed the boundless vitality it contained.

This is good stuff!

Qi Qingmo's eyes lit up.

On the other side, Lin Zichen stared at the Origin Water Essence in the glass bottle, thinking about the Sea God's introduction to the Origin Water Essence, and had the idea of asking Qi Qingmo for a bottle of Origin Water Essence.

He didn't want it for himself, but for Shen Qinghan.

From the moment she was born, Shen Qinghan has had a special connection with water.

Most importantly, she is now suspected of being the vessel for the resurrection of the Water God.

He wondered, if Shen Qinghan possessed a bottle of Origin Water Essence, could her Biological Rank skyrocket?

Unfortunately, it's just a dream.

The Origin Water Essence, such a precious evolutionary resource, must be of great benefit to Qi Qingmo himself.

Even if he knelt down in front of Qi Qingmo and begged for a bottle, Qi Qingmo probably wouldn't give it to him.

While he was thinking about these things, he realized that...

The Sea God urged Qi Qingmo, "There's no time to linger here chatting, let's set off now."

The moment he finished speaking, the Sea God's figure flashed and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Seeing this, Qi Qingmo quickly led Lin Zichen and the other two to follow.

P. S.: I had to run errands today and was unfortunately delayed in updating, resulting in only a short 2000-word chapter. Sorry.
