Three years later.
Sea God Island, Sea God Hall.
Vast waves churned beneath the dome, and divine light receded like the tide.
Tang San slowly opened his eyes. The shape of the Sea God Trident reflected in his pupils, and the divine power throughout his body had condensed to its utmost. Every movement seemed capable of commanding the power of the entire ocean.
