Chapter 352 The fickle Xiao Bai; Huo Yuhao preparing to meet the parents
"Yeyue, I know that all the mistakes are my fault. Now, I only ask God to give me one last chance to make amends to you."
So this time, I'm not just fulfilling my duty as the patriarch of the Sea God family, but also making a promise to you as a man who once loved you deeply.
As he spoke, Chen Xinjie suddenly opened his eyes, and a thick, unyielding azure light began to emanate from his body.
As the light surged, a set of blue four-character battle armor instantly appeared on his body.
In an instant, his eyes turned pure gold, reflecting the vast and boundless sea beneath his feet, dyeing it a blue-gold color.
The terrifying pressure belonging to a quasi-god erupted instantly, accompanied by a deafening roar:
"Chen Xinjie, the current patriarch of the Poseidon Clan, has arrived for the appointment!"
Why are you yelling so loudly? I'm not deaf.
Just then, a slightly disgruntled voice suddenly emerged from the depths of the sea.
Then, the sea broke open, and a huge silver-white shark, nearly ten feet long, emerged from the water.
Those grey-blue eyes were fixed on the old man in mid-air, whose body was completely encased in a streamlined, azure-blue armor, except for his head.
After a long silence, he slowly spoke: "Human, I can indeed sense the bloodline of the sea god flowing in you."
However, I must also remind you that, not to mention that you are past the peak age of human soul masters and your vital energy is beginning to decline.
This time, Di Tian has gathered more than ten powerful sea spirit beast clans from the deep sea.
Even though few of them are soul beasts with a cultivation level exceeding 600,000 years, their combat power, amplified by the vast ocean, is still considerable.
"Are you sure you're not here to die, with one old man and that even older one?"
Xiao Bai was actually quite puzzled.
She never expected that after finally activating the ancient altar left on the Poseidon Island ruins to send a message for help, the person who answered the call was an old man and an even older woman.
Especially just now, Long Yeyue's roar was so loud that even he, hiding deep in the sea, could hear it clearly.
She was so shocked by what she heard that the whole shark went numb.
Please, we're on a sacred mission to defend the glory of the sea god, okay?
This isn't a place for you to flirt and have twilight romances.
Even at a time like this, they staged this melodramatic and tragic drama that left even the soul beasts speechless.
Xiao Bai is now starting to doubt whether his decision to call the patriarch of the Sea God family to stop Di Tian and the others from seizing the Sea God's throne was a lapse in judgment.
If this operation fails, the entire Demon Soul Great White Shark clan, and even his own daughter, will likely be completely implicated and plunged into an abyss of no return.
Chen Xinjie frowned slightly, not because he was annoyed that the Demon Soul Great White Shark in front of him had underestimated his strength.
His expression turned solemn, and he replied in a deep voice, "You must be the legendary Great White Shark King who once followed two generations of sea gods."
Since we are both fighting to protect the glory of the sea god, and we are both aware of the hardships and dangers we will face on this journey.
But since I, Chen Xinjie, dare to come to this deep sea to keep our appointment and protect the safety of the ocean, I naturally have something to rely on.”
As he spoke, Chen Xinjie held nothing back.
The four-character battle armor he wore seemed to come alive, with azure flames rising up, making him look even more radiant.
He slowly raised his hands and held them in front of his chest as if he were holding up some supreme sacred object.
In the next instant, countless blue points of light converged.
A dark blue helmet with the iconic trident pattern and an antique design slowly took shape in his palm.
The moment the helmet appeared, soft and sacred blue-gold halos rippled outwards from Chen Xinjie.
The sea, which had been turbulent, suddenly became unusually calm under the soothing glow of the light, without a single ripple, as if the entire ocean was submitting to it.
Bathed in that sacred radiance that was so similar to the light of the sea god, Xiaobai couldn't help but feel a sense of astonishment.
"This is the helmet of Lord Poseidon!? No, that's not right. Although the aura is similar, it's still a little off. This should be a replica."
Seeing Xiaobai's shocked expression, Chen Xinjie smiled calmly, his tone carrying a hint of pride as a descendant of the Sea God family:
"You're right. Back then, when Poseidon Tang San pulled out the Trident of Poseidon and completed the inheritance of the Poseidon, Poseidon Island, as the place of trial, completed its mission and ceased to exist."
However, the lineage of our Sea God family has never been broken. After ascending to the God Realm, Sea God Tang San, in order to express his gratitude for the contributions our clan has made to protect Sea God Island for generations.
He specially had a replica of the real sea god's helmet made in the divine realm, and used his divine power to personally create this divine artifact called "Boundless Ocean".
It was then bestowed upon that generation of the Sea God family as a sacred artifact to be passed down through our family. According to ancestral teachings, only the successive patriarchs of the Sea God family are qualified to inherit and use it.
After hearing Chen Xinjie's explanation, Xiaobai was shocked, but also felt a sense of injustice.
He himself had personally helped Tang San complete the Sea God's test and obtain the Sea God's position back then.
But what happens in the end?
After Tang San ascended to the God Realm, besides issuing an order for the sea spirit beasts to relocate to the deep sea and completely abandon near-shore areas to no longer easily contact humans, what other beneficial things did he actually do for the sea spirit beast race?
He could clearly forge such a divine artifact as a legacy in the realm of gods and generously hand it over to the Sea God family.
But what did the Great White Shark clan, which had always loyally followed the Sea God, gain?
Even now, they still have to endure the harassment of those evil orcas that do not believe in the sea god, and members of their tribe often lose their lives because of it.
It's no wonder that more than two thousand years ago, after everyone sensed Tang San's fall and the shattering of the Sea God's position, the vast majority of the sea spirit beast clans in the deep sea began to waver in their faith in the Sea God.
If I had known things would turn out this way, I probably wouldn't have gone to all that trouble by summoning the Sea God family.
Looking back, it was through his own military might that Poseidon, the god of the sea, unified the ocean.
After a thousand years of sedimentation, it was finally able to condense a divine position and become a god, thanks to the faith of countless sea spirit beasts and sea spirit masters.
Now that the Sea God's position is vacant once again, it is quite reasonable for Di Tian and his group of land-based soul beasts to follow the path of the past and condense a new Sea God's position.
As a veteran who has spent many years in the sea, he possesses considerable strength.
If I had chosen to participate in Di Tian's plan as well, I might have been able to take advantage of this opportunity...
This sudden, disrespectful thought startled Xiaobai.
Looking at Chen Xinjie, who was covered by the light of the sea god and appeared sacred and inviolable, Xiaobai forcibly suppressed the dangerous stirring in his heart.
Taking a deep breath, he replied, "Since you possess such a divine artifact left behind by the Sea God Tang San..."
Therefore, even if one were to directly confront the Beast God Di Tian or other powerful sea spirit beast overlords on this vast ocean, there would be no need to worry too much.
This isn't just some random statement from a novice.
With the added benefit of the Helmet of Boundless Ocean, even though the authority of the Sea God is now shattered.
Based on Chen Xinjie's quasi-god level cultivation, Xiaobai had no doubt that Chen Xinjie, under full power, could temporarily possess power comparable to a true god with this item.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xinjie simply nodded slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
His gaze sharpened again, and he said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, there's no need to delay any longer. Where are they now? And which sea spirit beasts are among the participants? Tell me in detail."
Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible glint flashed in Xiaobai's gray-blue eyes, and a new plan began to form in his mind.
"Before they officially begin plotting for the power of the sea god, they seem to intend to hold an important meeting to select the most suitable agent."
As you probably already know, this is how Lord Poseidon became the god of the sea. As for the more specific details, time is of the essence, so let's discuss them slowly as we travel..."
As they were speaking, the enormous shark suddenly twisted its body.
After determining its location, it transformed into a streak of silvery-white light, stirring up huge waves, and sped off towards the northeast.
Chen Xinjie and Long Yeyue exchanged a glance, said nothing, and their soul power surged as they followed closely behind, transforming into two streaks of light.
About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to leave.
On the once calm sea, a much smaller Great White Shark quietly emerged from the water.
Bai Xiuxiu peeked out, briefly sensing the lingering scent of her mother in the air, and murmured to herself with a hint of grievance:
"She said what was going to be done was too dangerous and wouldn't let me come, even though she had promised me before. In the end, my mother still left me alone and went to do this dangerous thing herself."
"Bad Mommy! Xiuxiu is all grown up now, she's not that little girl who only blew bubbles anymore. This time I'm going to prove to you that Xiuxiu can definitely help Mommy too!"
With that, Bai Xiuxiu flicked her stubborn little tail and dived back into the deep sea, following the scent they left behind, heading northeast.
……
In the far north, deep in the Arctic Ocean.
With the continuous development of Soul Guidance Technology, humanity has long since become the undisputed overlord of the entire Douluo Continent.
Even the far north, with its extremely harsh environment and perpetual snow cover, is now almost entirely under human control.
The mermaids, who originally lived for generations in the icy sea region on the western outskirts of the far north, were forced to migrate as a whole to the colder depths of the northern seas as their living space continued to shrink.
Beneath the surface of a deep sea, where massive icebergs and millennia-old glaciers float.
A magnificent palace complex, constructed from countless beautiful deep-sea corals and giant seashells, is radiating a deep blue glow.
It illuminated the once pitch-black underwater world for dozens of miles around, making it as bright as a dreamlike fairyland.
Through the faint blue light, one can see many graceful mermaids and numerous strange deep-sea spirit beasts swimming back and forth in the complex of buildings, appearing remarkably harmonious among themselves.
In the very center of this underwater world, within the most magnificent and enormous coral structure, lies a room adorned with pure white coral.
Liya was leaning against the soft bed, humming an unknown mermaid ballad.
The golden mermaid tail, shimmering with a dazzling light, swayed gently to the lively rhythm, clearly indicating that she was in a very pleasant mood.
Suddenly, Liya, who had been humming a song, paused slightly as she sensed the spatial coordinates within her body that were emitting abnormalities. A hint of doubt flashed in her azure eyes.
Although she was somewhat puzzled, she still followed the method Huo Yuhao had taught her beforehand and released a wisp of spiritual energy into the coordinate mark as a guide.
At the same instant, a large door radiating a gray-gold glow suddenly appeared in the room.
Liya's eyes lit up as she watched the white-haired boy slowly walk out of the portal.
Almost without thinking, the golden fish tail suddenly swung, and it swam over in an instant like a nimble fish.
She grabbed Huo Yuhao's arm and pressed herself against him, her seductive voice ringing out:
"Yuhao, why did you suddenly come here? Did you come all this way to see my mother and finalize our relationship?"
Hehe, let me tell you, if that's really the case, my mom would definitely give it her all...
He felt the warmth emanating from the soft, delicate body pressed against him, and the mermaid girl's undisguised excitement.
Huo Yuhao simply reached out and ruffled Liya's long, flowing blue hair, which looked exceptionally smooth and elegant in the seawater.
He was in a hurry on this trip and didn't really consider meeting the parents.
Not wanting to spoil the girl's mood at this time, he softly replied, "It has indeed been quite a while since I last met Senior Sea Princess."
Now that I'm here, I'll find an opportunity to have a proper talk with her about this. I just hope she won't make things too difficult for me then.
Even though he was at the bottom of the sea, for Huo Yuhao, who had already broken the sixth shackle of the Golden Dragon King bloodline and whose physical body was gradually transforming into a true divine body, this was still a different story.
Breathing freely underwater and transmitting sound without hindrance through mental power was not difficult for him.
Hearing this, Liya's little head clicked, and she pressed her cheek against Huo Yuhao's broad chest, saying with great certainty:
"Although my mother was indeed a devout follower of the Sea God in the past, that Sea God Tang San has been dead for so long now, and I even contributed to his cause back then."
Besides, how could my mother not understand the principle of "out of sight, out of mind"? Moreover, since she also intends to participate in the competition this time, she wants to seize the opportunity to become the new Sea God.
This behavior itself is already considered "outrageous" by the sea goddess, so why would she make things difficult for you because of it? Besides, I am her most beloved youngest daughter!
