Bo Saixi's despair: unable to contact the Sea God! The Heaven Dou and Star Luo emperors: why resort to fighting and killing?

Bo Saixi slowly turned around.

The Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo saw that the Great Enshrined, who had always been graceful and regal, like an incarnation of a god, now had bloodless lips and bloodshot eyes.

"I sensed it."

Bo Saixi closed her eyes and drew a deep breath.

"The ocean's water veins are not raging. They are wailing, crying to the Sea God Scepter for help.

It is a mighty force from the depths of the ocean, a hundred thousand feet below-vast, ponderous, and suffocatingly cold.

Lu Ye did not lie. The Xuanwu Continent is indeed sweeping toward the Douluo Continent at a speed that defies all reason."

"And furthermore."

Bo Saixi opened her eyes, fixing her gaze on Sea Dragon Douluo.

"That is absolutely not uncontrolled drifting.

The currents are being directed with extreme precision. Its course...

Will take it straight over our Sea God Island, crushing us beneath it, before driving into the western coasts of the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires!"

Sea Illusion Douluo sucked in a cold breath.

"Someone is controlling it!

Does... does such power truly exist in this world?!"

"Great Enshrined!"

Sea Dragon Douluo stepped forward and urgently cupped his fist.

"Whether it is a natural disaster or someone's doing, Sea God Island has only two paths before it now!

Fight or leave!

The countdown on the sky screen gives us only two and a half days!

In another sixty hours, the tsunami's vanguard will strike Sea God Island's defenses!

What exactly should we do?!"

"Fight?

Sea Dragon, what do you have to fight with?!"

Sea Witch Douluo stamped her foot in distress, her voice even taking on a sobbing note.

"Didn't you see the information pushed through the sky screen's livestream just now?!

On the Xuanwu Empire's continent, Level Eight Soul Guidance Charging Guns are mass-produced and issued throughout the army!

Even ordinary soldiers carry weapons capable of severely wounding a Soul Saint!

Their eldest prince casually deployed a Level Nine Soul Cannon just to propose!

Not to mention their Ferocious Beasts-the 680,000-year Ice Prison Xuan Chi, and the 100,000-Year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that can defeat a 200,000-year Ferocious Beast with a casual strike!"

Sea Witch pointed at the sky screen and spoke rapidly.

"And there's that Xuanwu Emperor, Lu Ye!

The presence he projected across the distance through the sky screen pressed so hard against its projection that ripples appeared. He is definitely a Demigod Level being who surpasses ordinary Titled Douluo!

He might... might even be higher!

Even if Sea God Island mustered all its strength, the Seven Sacred Pillars and the Great Enshrined together couldn't withstand even a single volley from one of their Soul Guidance Legions.

What could we possibly use to stop an entire continent crashing into us?!"

"Then are we supposed to abandon the island and flee?!"

Sea Spear Douluo retorted sharply, his eyes scarlet.

"Sea God Island is the site of Lord Sea God's legacy!

It is the foundation of the Sea God's Divine Sense in the mortal world!

We of the Seven Sacred Pillars are Lord Sea God's attendants. Generation after generation, we have sworn loyalty to him!

Now, before the enemy has even arrived, are we to flee like homeless dogs merely because of a few threats and a countdown on the sky screen?

Where would that leave the Sea God's majesty?!

Where would that leave our faith?!"

"Which matters more-faith, or the lives of the hundreds of thousands of living beings on this island?!"

Sea Witch refused to yield, arguing loudly.

"Sea God Island lies right at the very forefront of the collision between the two continents!

When the Xuanwu Continent crashes into us, their legions won't even need to land and slaughter us. The leading tsunami alone, thousands of feet high and raised by the continent's edge, will tear Sea God Island's foundations out by the roots! After

That will come the collapse of the void and the crushing of the crust caused by the continents' collision!

If we stay here, everyone on the island will be ground to dust!

Not even a single intact corpse will remain!"

"Enough!

Stop arguing!"

Sea Horse Douluo shouted angrily, cutting their argument short before turning to Bo Saixi.

"Great Enshrined, you are the Sea God's spokesperson in the mortal world.

This situation has long since exceeded anything mortal Soul Masters can resolve.

Has Lord Sea God... sent down an oracle?"

At those words, Sea Dragon, Sea Spear, and the others instantly turned their eyes toward Bo Saixi.

This was Sea God Island's last hope, and their only spiritual pillar.

"Yes, Great Enshrined! Lord Sea God is the ruler of the seas!"

Sea Star Douluo hastily chimed in.

"The endless oceans are all under Lord Sea God's command!

The Xuanwu Continent is rampaging across the sea, wreaking havoc upon the ocean. That is tantamount to challenging Lord Sea God's divine authority!

Lord Sea God will never stand idly by!

If Lord Sea God sends down just a thread of divine might, he will surely quell this heaven-swallowing calamity!"

As Bo Saixi listened to their cries, a wretched smile, almost desolate, appeared on her lips.

"An oracle?"

Bo Saixi shook her head miserably, her fingers whitening from how tightly she gripped the Sea God Scepter.

"An hour ago, when the anomaly first appeared in the sky screen, I entered the Sea God Hall and used my vital blood essence to commune with the Sea God's statue, attempting to send a petition to the Divine Realm."

Sea Dragon Douluo's heart sank.

"What was the result?"

Bo Saixi closed her eyes, her voice so faint that a gust of wind seemed enough to scatter it.

"The Sea God's statue... gave no response.

Not only that, but the Sea God's Light within the hall is even drawing inward on its own.

The Sea God's Divine Sense surrounding the statue seems to have been forcibly severed by some invisible, terrifying force."

Under the pressure of Lu Changqing's Twin God Kings, Sea God Island's channel of communication with the Divine Realm had temporarily been cut off.

"What?!"

The Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo staggered several steps backward as though struck by lightning.

Sea Witch's pretty face turned deathly pale as she spoke in disbelief.

"The statue... gave no response?

How could this happen?

Has Lord Sea God abandoned us?!"

"It isn't abandonment."

Bo Saixi opened her eyes, unspeakable terror surging within them.

"Rather... the last thread of intent the statue conveyed to me was neither anger nor majesty, but... severance and avoidance."

"Great Enshrined, do you mean..."

Sea Dragon Douluo's voice trembled uncontrollably.

"Even Lord Sea God fears that moving continent?!"

"I do not know."

Bo Saixi shook her head, the conviction in her eyes wavering violently.

"The 'Great Dao Divine Sound' displayed by the sky screen already stands on a level beyond every divine power I know.

And that 'Ancestor' whom Lu Ye keeps speaking of...

If the one propelling an entire continent forward truly is the Xuanwu Empire's Ancestor, then that being's realm is probably already beyond what ordinary deities can contend with."

Just as despair and oppression settled over the front of the Sea God Hall, the Douluo Continent section of the sky screen's livestream was once again flooded with frantic messages.

It was not just Sea God Island that was panicking. The entire Douluo Continent had boiled over.

[Xue Ye: A continental collision?!

Your Majesties of the Xuanwu Empire, our two nations have never had any enmity. Why resort to such world-destroying measures?

If our two worlds can coexist peacefully, the Heaven Dou Empire is willing to offer the resources of our entire nation and divide our territories along a river!]

[Star Luo Emperor: Emperor Lu Ye!

If you seek war, my Star Luo cavalry will form ranks on the western coast to meet you!

But crashing continents together and bringing misery upon all living beings is the act of the fallen!]

[Yu Xiaogang: Absurd!

Utterly absurd!

Continents rest upon the crust and mantle. How immense is their weight?

No Soul Power system could possibly support a continent sailing!

This must be an enormous illusion the sky screen created using a Spatial Soul Skill!

Don't let them fool you!

Hold the coast! At most, all they can send across the sea is a vanguard force!]
