On the third day after becoming a god, Yuan Yu was called away by a message from the Western Sea.
After Demon Whale died, a deep current still churned through those waters. Several merchant ships had struck turbulent currents while changing course, snapping two masts. When Yuan Yu reached the harbor, the shipowners were arguing with Sea God Island's patrolling Soul Masters over whose ship should be repaired first. As soon as they saw him, they all pointed out to sea.
"Fine, we'll save the ships first." Yuan Yu separated the people arguing. "Wait until everyone's ashore before you fight. Don't leave them in the water listening to you count coins."
Qian Renxue flew out over the sea first, illuminating the edges of the turbulent currents with angel god power. She did not manipulate the elements for Yuan Yu; she only gave those aboard the ships a visible route of retreat. The Spirit Hall Physicians Hu Liena had brought set up a medicine table on the dock, and Xiao Bai was already in the sea helping people to safety. Only after the last sailor climbed onto the shallows did Yuan Yu release the Myriad Phenomena Wheel and follow the channels left by Demon Whale's old wounds down to investigate.
A reef ridge on the seabed had been broken by the whale's body. Whenever seawater surged into it, it carried out the rubble accumulated in the depths. Yuan Yu dived down and first used the Earth Origin Boundary-Sealing Seal to stabilize the nearby rocks, but the fracture fifty zhang away was still shifting. He swam over, shaved down the sharpest side with the Tribulation Blade, then opened the Great Void Boundary-Stabilizing Gate and sent the loose rocks he could see into an unoccupied stretch of shallow sea.
