Chapter 1094 The Secret of the Temple of Sea God
"Those who worship the sea god are mostly sea spirit beasts that are not strong enough in combat. This does not include the ocean overlords, because they are powerful enough on their own."
"Take the Deep Sea Demon Whale King you mentioned, for example. It's a 990,000-year-old soul beast, just one step away from reaching the level of a god. How could it possibly obey a human who has lived for less than a hundred years?"
"Furthermore, the sea god protects those sea spirit beasts that lack combat power, which has led to the damage to the interests of the ocean overlords and a reduction in food supplies. If you were in their shoes, and someone encroached on your territory and even told you that you had to abide by their rules from now on, would you accept it?"
Xiaohai Douluo let out a whistling, eerie laugh because his chin was hollow.
Huo Yuhao fell silent. This was the first time he had ever heard of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and the Sea Soul Beast that disobeyed the Sea God.
In his view, the sea god was a deity who commanded the sea, and none dared to disobey.
Now, Xiaohai Douluo tells him that the Sea God is only responsible for protecting the sea spirit beasts in the ocean who are not strong enough in combat.
This gap seemed too large to him.
"So, the secret realm of the ocean is a place to ensure that the ocean won't be disturbed by these ocean overlords?" Huo Yuhao asked.
Yes and no.
"First of all, the secret realm of the ocean is under tight guard for one reason: the Sea God does not want to abdicate and does not want to give up his divine position. Therefore, the secret realm of the ocean is a place for testing the Sea God's divine position and is under tight guard." Xiaohai Douluo continued to let out a strange, leaky laugh.
Huo Yuhao just felt that Xiaohai Douluo's laughter must have been full of sarcasm.
"Secondly, the secret land of the sea connects to all the temples of the sea god. The foundation stones of the temples of the sea god originated from the secret land of the sea, carrying the mission of building the temples of the sea, while maintaining contact with the secret land of the sea so that the sea god guardians there can go to deal with the troubles in various parts of the sea."
"The ocean itself is a natural food chain. It's one thing for the sea god to intervene, but as long as it's not excessive, it won't have much of an impact. However, the ocean overlords don't think that way, so the sea god's guards also have to deal with those ocean overlords."
"Finally, eliminate the threats that suddenly emerge from the depths of the ocean. Strange creatures will occasionally emerge in underwater volcanoes, in seabed fissures, and even beneath glaciers. They look nothing like sea spirit beasts or land spirit beasts; they are evil creatures that will destroy the ocean."
Xiaohai Douluo patted his pelvis. "This is the function of the Sea God Temple. As for this Sea God Temple, it was destroyed by evil creatures along with two ocean overlords. The ice layer you mentioned, the main temple should have a solution. Alright, I suddenly don't want to tell the story anymore. You can leave now."
Huo Yuhao was taken aback by Xiaohai Douluo's sudden change in attitude.
It's obvious that there are many more stories behind this temple of the sea god, many more stories behind the secret land of the sea, and even many more stories behind the Nautilus conch!
But Xiaohai Douluo suddenly stopped talking.
It's like a storyteller who gets to the exciting part, then suddenly stops and doesn't say anything more, not even offering payment.
Huo Yuhao really couldn't give money, because he didn't seem to have anything that could sway Xiaohai Douluo.
With such a powerful opponent, what bargaining chips do I have to make a deal?
Or rather, is there anything else that Xiaohai Douluo cares about?
Seeing Xiaohai Douluo sitting quietly, Huo Yuhao was getting anxious and scratching his head.
Money, resources, and weapons—these are what Huo Yuhao carries with him.
But none of them could move Xiaohai Douluo.
"Senior, what's next? You haven't finished yet!" Huo Yuhao remained honest.
"Boy, I've said so much already, shouldn't you tell me your purpose? Is it just to foresee the future?" Xiaohai Douluo asked.
Huo Yuhao fell silent for a moment.
"I need to identify one thing: whether I will turn against my loved ones in the future."
"Swords drawn? Did you have your treasure stolen, or did you steal someone else's treasure?" Xiaohai Douluo retorted.
"Neither, it's just that we might have disagreements on our beliefs," Huo Yuhao replied.
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's reply, Xiaohai Douluo scoffed, "Just for a clash of ideologies? You must have a lot of free time, disturbing my peace and quiet."
Huo Yuhao remained silent, but if his true form were here, he would blush with embarrassment.
I came to this place for some vague and uncertain future.
"Kid, even if you get the Nautilus, the moment you have that thought, your answer to this matter is already decided. All your remaining actions are just you finding an excuse for yourself." Xiaohai Douluo saw through it all.
All Huo Yuhao wanted was a legitimate excuse to comfort himself.
"I beg your help, senior. Please ask me if you can do anything I can!" Huo Yuhao bowed respectfully.
The soul fire in Xiaohai Douluo's eye sockets flickered.
Huo Yuhao needed his help, but in reality, he was also manipulating Huo Yuhao.
Those who can cultivate to a level beyond Super Douluo are almost never simple-minded people, not to mention that Xiaohai Douluo once served as the Sea God Priest, a role specifically designed to win people's hearts.
The reason he said so much earlier was twofold: firstly, to attract Huo Yuhao and increase his own leverage; and secondly, for his own selfish reasons, to let the world understand what the Sea God Temple really was.
The fact that Huo Yuhao was able to awaken him indicates that the other party possesses abilities related to the soul.
This is also his next requirement.
"Boy, I'm already a dead man. I don't care about or pay attention to what's going on with the Nautilus. I don't care what you want to do with it. But if you want me to work, there are conditions. Do you understand?" said Xiaohai Douluo.
Huo Yuhao's face lit up with joy, and he nodded in agreement.
If there are conditions, then it's easy to negotiate; the worst thing is when there are no conditions.
"Okay, what are the conditions?" Huo Yuhao asked.
Xiaohai Douluo walked around the hall twice with his hands behind his back. Looking at the still solemn and dignified statue, he said, "You possess incredible soul abilities. If you can awaken me, you should also be able to send away the wronged souls sleeping here. This is my condition."
Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback, then his gaze swept across the hall, penetrating the walls, as if he could see a large number of souls trapped here.
The remains of those sea god's guardians who died long ago, and even deeper inside, and in the city outside, may exist.
"Can you do it, kid?" Xiaohai Douluo asked Huo Yuhao with a deep look.
Huo Yuhao nodded without hesitation, "This junior is willing."
The latest novel is first published here!
"Alright, in exchange, you've probably guessed the truth about this Sea God Temple, right?" Xiaohai Douluo walked back to the Sea God statue, his skeletal foot crushing a large stone with a single step.
As luck would have it, it was the eye area of the Neptune statue.
"Is it a monster from the abyss?" Huo Yuhao guessed.
Xiaohai Douluo nodded. "To be precise, because a crack appeared in the sea, the abyss had an opportunity to take advantage of it. In order to stop the abyss from advancing, the sea god's temple, which was closest to the crack, was thrown over there as sealing material."
Suddenly, a "bang" sound rang in Huo Yuhao's mind.
He stared blankly at Xiaohai Douluo, mentally preparing himself emotionally.
But did the gods abandon their followers and temples to the enemy?
As the first line of defense?
"Senior, I don't quite understand what you mean," Huo Yuhao stammered.
According to Xiaohai Douluo's description, this Sea God Temple has a large number of believers!
Hundreds of thousands of lives!
"You heard me right. As believers of the Sea God, we must fight for the peace of the sea when necessary. Even if we refuse to fight against the abyss, the Sea God statue will spontaneously attract the mermaids and urge the high priests to fulfill their duties. Don't be surprised, there are many things you haven't seen, kid." Xiaohai Douluo seemed to be still not satisfied and crushed another stone that was not completely broken.
"When I heard the news, I knocked out the other guards and rushed back with my men. Guided by the token, I found my home, but by then it was too late."
"My home is gone, my family is gone, and I have only one thought in my mind: revenge!"
At this point, Huo Yuhao clearly sensed that Xiaohai Douluo's soul was disintegrating.
Intense resentment began to distort his soul.
This could cause Xiaohai Douluo to turn into a terrifying vengeful spirit.
"Senior, please calm down. The era of the Sea God is over!" Huo Yuhao used necromancy to silently soothe the soul of the Howling Sea Douluo.
"No! The Sea God will not go there! As long as the secret land of the sea still exists! As long as the mermaid race still exists! The Sea God's power in the sea will not diminish!" Xiaohai Douluo's body vibrated with terrifying soul power, directly crushing towards the broken stones of the Sea God statue.
The gravel was turned into a pile of rubble.
This is the first time Xiaohai Douluo has made a move since his soul was revived.
The first impression Huo Yuhao had was one of terror as deep as an abyss.
He had witnessed Elder Xuan's full power before, and Xiaohai Douluo was actually about the same level as Elder Xuan when he went all out.
How powerful was Xiaohai Douluo in his lifetime?
Under the forced intervention of necromancy, Xiaohai Douluo quickly returned to calm.
"Your ability is terrifying. If I hadn't been able to sense the righteous energy within your soul power, I would have kept you here even if it meant my own annihilation."
After things calmed down, Xiaohai Douluo continued to tell the story of the Sea God Temple.
"The creatures of the abyss are powerful and numerous. The priests of the Sea God Temple were completely unable to resist them. In the end, I was slowly drained of my soul power and my heart was shattered by a punch from a Holy Emperor. I collapsed here."
"Those abyssal creatures looked like this."
Xiaohai Douluo used the rubble and powder on the ground to create several strange-looking creatures for Huo Yuhao.
"This one has its head inside its chest cavity, this one has six tails and eight legs, and this one has a huge mouth on its belly."
Huo Yuhao stared at the bizarre-looking abyssal creature and fell silent.
