Another Discussion of the Second Expedition to Sea God Island

On a strategic reserve island overseas, the retreating land forces either remained on the ships or partially disembarked to rest and reorganize.

Inside the tent, a heated interrogation quickly erupted.

Ning Fengzhi, Yu Yuanzhen, and the two imperial marshals all stared at Tang Chen, denouncing him for suddenly running away when he had the upper hand.

As the toughest man in the world and the patriarch of the number one sect, how could Tang Chen publicly admit that he was inferior in skill and couldn't defeat his dream girl?

I absolutely cannot admit to such shameful words; I must remain silent.

Therefore, he could only put aside for the time being the fact that Qian Xunji had deliberately drawn hatred and damaged his image in front of his goddess from the very beginning.

Not only was Tang Chen condemned, but Yu Luomian, covered in injuries, slammed her hand on the table and angrily pointed at Qian Xunji:

"At least Tang Chen was fighting seriously. What's wrong with the other four Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall? Did you come here to fight or to go fishing and have a vacation?"

Qian Xunji retorted righteously, "What are you saying, Vice Sect Master Yu? This Pope has always been benevolent and loves his people. How can I just stand by and watch my teammate sink into the sea and be fed to sharks? This person must be saved, and the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast must be hunted down to prevent a surprise attack on our rear. What's wrong with that?"

"What good is it for you to save those few rabble!" Yu Luomian was so angry that he puffed out his beard and glared at them.

Qian Xunji interrupted sternly, "In the eyes of the Spirit Hall, the life of every ally is priceless."

Upon hearing his second brother speak up, Yu Yuanzhen also glared at Gu Rong and questioned, "Gu Rong, can't you send your sect leader a little further away and come to help? What use are you if you just stand by his side watching the show?"

Gu Rong retorted, "Don't you even know what kind of monster they're facing? That woman's Soul Power seems inexhaustible; even Tang Chen couldn't withstand it. If I hadn't protected my sect leader, he would have been swept into the sea and fed to the sharks long ago."

The crowd shifted blame and complained to each other, turning the tent into a noisy marketplace.

After a long argument, Marshal Ge Long had to reveal the biggest problem at hand. "The enemy's Limit Douluo power is inexhaustible; even Senior Tang Chen couldn't outlast her. We simply can't take Sea God Island. What do we do next? We can't just send the entire army to their deaths in vain, can we?"

I don't think so.

Qian Xunji: "Everyone, there's no need to panic. The power this woman is using is not Soul Power, but Divine Power that transcends Soul Power."

The moment the words "Divine Power" were uttered, the previously noisy crowd fell silent.

This is not the first time Qian Xunji has mentioned the word "god". In the minds of the powerful on the continent, level ninety-nine is the peak of mortals, and gods only exist in mythology.

Ning Fengzhi greatly shocked and asked with doubt, "This place is called Sea God Island, and that person can mobilize Divine Power... Could it be that the Sea God really exists?"

Qian Xunji naturally couldn't admit that the Sea God truly existed; otherwise, what if these people were too scared to fight?

"Gods are just legends. If they truly existed, why have humans on the continent never seen one after hundreds of thousands of years of reproduction? Even ancient books and legends rarely mention them. However, as long as we work together to take this island, everyone will have a chance to mobilize Divine Power."

Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help but press further, "Does the Angel God, whom your Spirit Hall worships, possess Divine Power that you can command?"

Qian Xunji spread his hands. "Sigh, if we could mobilize Divine Power, what would be the point of you Upper Three Sects?"

Upon hearing this, the faces of the members of the Upper Three Sects twitched slightly. Although they cursed inwardly for his hurtful words, they also felt much more at ease.

In an instant, the expressions on everyone's faces changed, each harboring their own secret thoughts and lost in their own fantasies.

If they could also wield boundless divine Divine Power, their every move would cause the ocean to surge.

The four words that appeared in Ge Long's mind were the name of the god worshipped by all people: Ge Long Sea God.

Marshal Zhu was also filled with emotion. The Hell Spirit Cat Clan had long been controlled by the White Tiger Dai Family and could only ever be used as material for fusion.

If I could receive Divine Power blessing, why would I need to remain subservient to the Dai Family? At that time, a world-renowned figure would emerge on the continent— the Sea God, the Star Luo Emperor, and the Hell Spirit Cat.

Ning Fengzhi was also indulging in wild fantasies. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was limited by the Seven Rings of Shackles. If he could borrow Divine Power, would it be possible to achieve the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which was the sect's lifelong wish? He might even become the Sea God, Nine Treasure Ning Fengzhi.

Looking at these guys whose greed had been stirred up by the Divine Power, Qian Xunji couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

He pressed his advantage and continued to fan the flames:

"We must take Sea God Island. We have suffered heavy casualties in this battle, and soldiers from both empires are buried in the ocean. How dare this tiny island block the advance of the continental coalition! It must be destroyed!"

"Once we take Sea God Island and gain the power of the gods, what do we have to fear if we don't prosper?"

Qian Xunji's impassioned speech stirred up all the fighting spirit and greed within the tent.

Faced with the heavy casualties, Marshal Ge Long said with a grim face, "With the remaining troops, it will be extremely difficult to take this island by force. We must immediately send a message back to the mainland to call for more reinforcements."

Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment and said, "I agree. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can allocate more funds for support, but facing the opponent's Limit Douluo using Divine Power, if our top-tier combat power is insufficient, sending more ordinary soldiers will only result in their deaths."

Tang Chen, who had been holding back his anger, finally spoke up when he saw that no one was paying attention to him, "That woman's power comes from the entire ocean, and I can't outlast her. If we want to be sure of victory, the Spirit Hall must also summon Qian Daoliu. If he joins forces with me, with two Limit Douluo attacking from both sides, no matter how Divine Power she is, I don't believe we can't defeat her!"

Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's name, everyone in the tent perked up and turned their gazes to Qian Xunji.

Qian Xunji found this group of people really troublesome. They had to find his old man before the battle started, and they had to find him during the battle. He really wanted to send all of them to see him.

However, the loss of so many lives has filled him with resentment.

In order to prolong the war, he could only explain with a wry smile:

"It's not that I, the Pope, am unwilling to invite him, but rather that my old master Deng has long since retired and no longer cares about worldly affairs. Before he left, I personally went to invite him, but he said that as the Great Enshrined Pope the Angel God, he was absolutely not allowed to participate in the disputes of other divine realms. No matter how I tried to persuade him, he insisted that he would never get involved."

Upon hearing this, everyone secretly lamented that Qian Daoliu had indeed been out of the public eye for many years, and almost no one on the continent had heard of his deeds.

Tang Chen knew that Qian Daoliu was, to put it nicely, a gentleman, but to put it bluntly, a stubborn mule. No wonder when they first met, he valued the faith in the Angel God more than anything else. Qian Xunji probably just couldn't bring himself to say it.

At this moment, Yu Yuanzhen voiced his doubts. "I really can't understand it. Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is a rare sight on the continent, occurring only once every tens of thousands of years. I never expected so many of them to suddenly appear in this sea, and they're even going around chiming in like weather vanes."

Upon hearing this, everyone was completely baffled by the Sea Soul Beast's bizarre behavior.

Gazing at the vast ocean outside the tent, Ge Long sighed, "No wonder our ancestors often said, 'The land is vast, but the ocean is even more so.' Humanity has lived and thrived on the continent for hundreds of thousands of years, yet our exploration of this boundless sea is probably far less than one percent..."

The lights flickered on the nautical chart, and each person harbored their own secrets as they revisited their plans for troop reinforcements and a second campaign against Sea God Island.

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard outside.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
