Chapter 49: The Train Crew Is Full Of Talent—isn’t It Normal For A Local Minor God To Take Notice?
“We’re here to travel and broaden our horizons.” March 7th said.
Travel? Bosei’s expression darkened slightly: “Sea God Island is the sacred land for venerating the Sea God. Idle people are not allowed to land on the island. Please leave.”
“Then we came here for nothing? No way!” A Xing shook her head.
“We came from so far away, Sister, can’t you make an exception?” March 7th said coquettishly.
“This concerns our god, no exceptions.” Bosei refused firmly.
“Is there really no opportunity at all?” March 7th looked at Bosei pitifully, making it hard to refuse.
Bosei hesitated for a moment and said: “If you are willing to join Sea God Island and pass the assessment, you can land on the island.”
“What assessment? Bring it on!” A Xing patted her chest.
“A Xing, don’t be impulsive. Forgot what we heard in Vast Sea City? No Spirit Master who comes to Sea God Island ever goes back. Clearly, joining Sea God Island means you can’t leave the island.” Meng Huaifeng pulled A Xing back.
It was also because of this rule that Sea God Island was called the Devil Island by those unaware of the truth—no entry without exit.
“Correct, once you join Sea God Island, you must serve the Sea God for life and are not allowed to leave the island without permission.” Bosei confirmed Meng Huaifeng’s words.
“Ah? How can there be such an outrageous rule?” March 7th said disappointedly.
“Even the Aeon doesn’t have such requirements.” A Xing pouted. Small place’s weak god with so many rules despite lacking strength.
Truly, small temple with big demons, shallow water with many turtles.
Fortunately, over these past few months, the Stellar Core Spirit had begun to understand human nature and didn’t say the latter words out loud.
“If you can’t accept it, please leave.” Bosei said indifferently.
As long as the rules weren’t too outrageous, Nameless would mostly follow local customs and abide by the rules.
They were here for sightseeing and travel, not planning to sacrifice themselves.
They also had no intention of forcing their way in or pretending to join and then leaving by force, breaking the rules.
Since they weren’t allowed to land on the island, although regrettable, they could only leave.
“Sigh, forget it, let’s go.” March 7th said disappointedly.
“Too hasty, let the Deep Sea Demon Whale King leave early.” Meng Huaifeng sighed.
“No problem, watch this lady. Follow me.”
March 7th turned first, stepping out toward the direction they came from on the ice surface.
Before her foot even landed, the ice surface had already frozen, spreading along March 7th’s direction of advance.
“Wow, March is amazing, stepping on water with lotuses blooming at every step, so stylish.” Meng Huaifeng praised.
“Haha, really? Just average.” March 7th instantly cheered up, squinting her eyes shyly.
The disappointment of coming all this way only to be refused vanished completely.
A Xing suddenly had an idea: without using flight ability, could she walk on the sea surface?
That would definitely be cooler than March!
A Xing silently walked to the edge of the ice surface, gathered Destruction Power under her feet, and imitated March 7th by stepping out toward the seawater.
“Plop!”
A Xing instantly disappeared.
The gathered Destruction Power instantly lost control, conducting through the seawater and ice blocks, numbing the three people’s feet.
“A Xing, what are you doing?” March 7th looked speechlessly at A Xing who popped her head out of the seawater.
“I just wanted to try if I could walk on the sea surface.” A Xing scratched her head embarrassedly.
“Can’t you fly?” March 7th rolled her eyes.
“That’s different. Walking on the sea surface is cooler than flying over it!” A Xing argued confidently.
Meng Huaifeng rubbed his chin and said: “In theory, as long as energy control is precise enough, it should be possible. But why didn’t you try with Imaginary Energy, instead using Destruction Power?”
All Pathfinders use Imaginary Energy, which manifests different effects based on the Destiny.
For a Pathfinder walking multiple Destinies at once, calling Imaginary Energy through Preservation Destiny yields Power of Preservation, excelling in defense; through Bliss Destiny, it yields power of Bliss, excelling in transformation.
Chakra and Internal Energy can step on water, so why not Imaginary Energy?
“Because of the special effects!” A Xing’s one sentence left Meng Huaifeng speechless.
That golden lightning-wreathed appearance was indeed cool!
“Destruction Power excels at destruction, meaning its stability is extremely poor, harder to control. Stepping on water would be even more difficult. I suggest trying Imaginary Energy first.” Meng Huaifeng advised.
“I won’t.” A Xing refused without hesitation, climbed up from the sea, golden lightning swirling under her feet, and stepped out again.
“Plop!”
Second failure.
Meng Huaifeng shrugged. Whatever makes you happy.
I can’t fly yet either. Learning to step on water isn’t bad, and it helps practice precise control of Imaginary Energy.
Thinking of this, Meng Huaifeng followed A Xing on the falling-into-water journey.
Zhu Zhuqing pondered thoughtfully. This seems like it could enhance Soul Power control.
Falling-into-water army +1
March 7th was disheveled in the wind. I paved the ice path for you, and now you’re saying you’re not leaving?
You were just praising me!
Angry!
……
Unlike the God King of Destruction who occasionally checks various worlds through the God Realm Central Hub, Sea God Island is the Sea God’s becoming a god site, where the Sea God left a wisp of divine sense.
The Sea God’s divine sense can know everything happening near Sea God Island at any time and contact the Sea God himself if necessary.
In the original work, Tang San already possessed the God of Slaughter domain, clearly the Asura God King’s candidate successor. Even the Sea God wanted to pass his divine position to him, showing the Sea God had long wanted to leave the God Realm and run away.
When March 7th used the Six Phases Ice ability, the Sea God’s wisp of divine sense left in the mortal world immediately noticed her. Seeing her approximate age and aptitude, it was overjoyed—this was a natural Sea God seedling!
The Sea God’s divine sense was already prepared to give her the Sea God’s Nine Trials when she accepted the assessment.
Who knew March 7th would turn and leave, panicking the Sea God’s divine sense.
It was rare to encounter a suitable successor; who knows how long until the next one?
Seedlings qualified to become gods aren’t that easy to find. Some gods waited tens of thousands of years without finding an inheritor.
Thus, the Sea God’s divine sense immediately transmitted to Bosei: “Bring them to Sea God Island and let them accept the assessment.”
A hint of astonishment flashed on Bosei’s stunning face, and she immediately whispered: “Yes, Lord Sea God.”
“Wait.” Bosei called out to the four who hadn’t gone far due to stepping on water.
“What’s wrong?” March 7th turned back and asked.
Meng Huaifeng wiped the seawater from his face and looked at Bosei while lying on the ice surface.
“Sea God oracle—you may land on Sea God Island.” Bosei’s expression was complex.
She, not low in intelligence, easily guessed the Sea God’s intent. Most likely, the Sea God had found a target for passing on his divine position.
And one of the High Priest’s duties is to sacrifice for the birth of the new Sea God.
