Chapter 1495 - 1068: Oh, It’s an Acquaintance!
Fated one, you can listen to so much rambling here without changing your expression, and even directly face my shadow without wavering at all. Could it be that you have already become a God?"
Jiang Yuan: ...
Me? Haha, I’m just the system’s tool person.
Though not a God, I have the qualification to become one!
[Side Quest: Sea God]
[Quest 4: Talk to the Sea God to understand the story that happened here, completed. Reward: Divinity +100 issued]
[Quest 6: Collect scattered Divine Soul Fragments of the Sea God (0/6). Reward: God Sealing Atlas +1]
[God Sealing Atlas: All sealed Gods are recorded, can be dispatched at any time]
No wonder it’s a side quest directly dealing with a God, the rewards are top-notch!
"Well then..." Jiang Yuan stood up, patted his clothes, and casually put away the sitting mat, smiling, "Whether I’m a God or not doesn’t matter. Not to mention chatting with the Sea God here, it’s no trouble meeting a True God either.
𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Besides, I came today not only to help you retrieve your lost treasure, but also to discuss something more important with the Sea God. Before that, I’d like to ask the Sea God: how does the Undersea World integrate with the Wilderness?"
Feeling the Heavenly Dao aura on him, the Sea God trusted him greatly and said without reservation, "Just like the Wilderness falling at night, it merges with the Human World through Divine Power, though minor errors occasionally lead to certain areas being crushed, most of the time everything remains separate. The Undersea World and the Wilderness’ oceans are the same."
In other words, if the Undersea World were separated, the Wilderness would still be as large, unaffected!
Jiang Yuan glanced at the Mizhang Ridge instance with its 80% progress bar, thinking about the mountains, rivers, plains, and rainforests all being complete there. If the Undersea World could be migrated over, a complete New World would likely be formed.
Setting things right, the Wilderness should eventually be returned to the Human Race. We can’t have the demon cultivators and demon beasts on land and in the ocean all migrated, yet leave the Undersea World in an awkward situation.
If the seal remains, Spiritual Energy can’t come into the Wilderness; after the Sea God’s divinity is exhausted and falls, the Sea Demons would be hopeless; removing the seal would just leave some demon cultivators behind, and future conflicts with the Human Race would be even more troublesome.
It’s better to be straightforward, peel the entire Undersea World fragment off the Wilderness, pack it, and send it to the New World! The demon cultivators migrating over there have all been verified by the system; their character is not bad, and the number is small. Re-establishing contact would prevent the Sea Demon Race from being isolationist.
"Given the situation, let’s talk straight." Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "I suppose the Sea God is uneasy about the Sea Demons interacting with the Wilderness’ Demon Race. Why not migrate the Undersea World fragment to the New World?
Your condition isn’t good; your divinity has started to scatter uncontrollably. I suppose the energy your incarnations, Sea Sun and Sea Moon, provide to the Sea Demon Race will also diminish. By then, the entire Undersea World’s Demon Race will have a bleak future.
Migrating to the New World, everything starts afresh, and the Sea Demon Race doesn’t require you to sacrifice yourself further. Once your divinity is restored, you will still be the Sea God who protects your people."
The Sea God’s shadow paused, "Migration? New World? Though I’ve been unclear for long periods, I know the difficulties of the End of Dharma Era. Where can a New World be born with the Heavenly Dao incomplete? Moreover, a New World can accommodate such a large world fragment fusion."
"It exists; I found world fragments in the Void and pieced them together. If you don’t believe me, you can come with me to see..." the conversation paused mainly because he wasn’t certain if the other party could leave the Sea Moon Tomb.
"Can we go now?"
"Of course! Are you available?"
The fact proved that even a sixth of the Sea God’s Divine Soul was not as fragile as Jiang Yuan imagined.
A tall, sea-blue robed, beautiful, semi-transparent goddess true body gathered, seemingly blown by a wind, but she still went with Jiang Yuan to the New World based on the Mizhang Ridge instance.
Their shadows flew in the high sky, looking down as the wind howled around them.
Completely integrated, you can’t tell it was pieced together from world fragments, but it was likely a circular New World with a very noticeable piece missing.
"Migrating the Undersea World over and fusing it could complete it by size." The Sea God looked again and again, very satisfied with the lushness and rich Spiritual Energy of the New World, but still not at ease, "Your custom-made New World has no sprouts, an empty core, without vitality support, it may not last long."
This issue, Jiang Yuan also didn’t know how to solve.
After all, up to now, he hasn’t pieced together a complete world, so he doesn’t know how the system would arrange the New World. Will it become a free-floating star in the Void, or remain in the system interface, popping up all sorts of messages every day.
On such a date, several demon cultivators moved in;
On such a date, one demon cultivator found herbs or ores somewhere...
"I don’t know." Jiang Yuan raised his eyebrows, honestly saying, "It’s the first time creating a New World, so I have no experience. However, I think, once it’s completed, there will be a way to make it sustainable. At worst, I could find a sprout of the World and plant it in the core."
The entire world is a gigantic farming game. Since I can plant Spirit Roots, I should be able to plant world sprouts too!
The Sea God pondered silently for a moment, then sighed, "It’s an option, arguably better than my divinity scattering and falling, leaving the Sea Demon Race’s future bleak. But the current issue is, as the Sea God’s power continues to weaken, I really lack the ability to migrate the Undersea World fragment. Can you migrate it over?"
Jiang Yuan: ...
Didn’t receive this task, was just thinking about it, and really couldn’t do it.
"Direct migration, I’m really not sure. However, I once saved the near-fallen Four Symbols Divine Beast, Vermilion Bird, and am still nurturing its Divine Soul." He guided the conversation to start the task, "If you don’t mind, why not enter the Ink Jade Space to nurture your Divine Soul too? Once the situation improves, we can discuss migration again?"
She was amazed, "Is it the Vermilion Bird over the Wilderness? How is it now? At the time when the Undersea World and Wilderness fused, I had a brief encounter with the Vermilion Bird."
Oh, they’re acquaintances!
Jiang Yuan took out the Ink Jade Space from his Storage Bag, handing it over, "The Vermilion Bird’s remnant soul is being nurtured inside. If you don’t mind, I can help find the remaining Divine Souls for you. Rest for a while and take some Soul Supplement Pills; I believe you can recover soon."
Click to open the Ink Jade Space, and the Vermilion Bird’s unique aura was released.
To Jiang Yuan, who doesn’t cultivate, this aura was just warm; to the Sea God, she felt the Vermilion Bird’s tranquility. However, its Divine Soul was severely lacking, and apart from reconstruction, it would be hard to restore strength through nurturing.
She tilted her head, looking at the human youth before her, whom even she couldn’t see through, thinking since he could nurture the Vermilion Bird, he should be able to nurture her fragmentary Sea God self into recovering some extent and stop her divinity from scattering further.
"I have split my Divine Soul into six parts." The Sea God spoke softly, "One in the Sea Moon Tomb; one in the Sea Sun Tomb; one each in the current Sea Moon and Sea Sun; the remaining two are in the offerings of the Sea Demon Race..."
She reached out her semi-transparent hand, gathering a map of the Undersea World and handing it over, "May I trouble you, friend, to find the remaining five Divine Souls. I also need to quickly inform the Sea Demon Race that Sea Moon and Sea Sun will be temporarily lost, hoping they can endure the darkness before reaching the New World."
Upon speaking, she voluntarily entered the Ink Jade Space, transforming into a deep blue small fish, gently swaying inside.
[Side Quest: Sea God]
[Quest 6: Collect scattered Divine Soul Fragments of the Sea God (1/6). Reward: God Sealing Atlas +1]
"This task isn’t too difficult. I thought I would waste some words gaining the Sea God’s trust." Jiang Yuan put away the newly obtained map tool, then thought it might be because she knew her days were numbered, so the chance to seize a fleeting opportunity was better than waiting for death.
After storing the Ink Jade Space, he clicked to check the new map, finding the Sea Sun Tomb and Sea Moon Tomb far apart.
Swimming there at his speed would take at least one or two months. Perhaps Yun Shu and the others could buy a travel mount in the Market of the Undersea World? Or tear through space, at the cost of more Physical Strength, to reach the Sea Sun Tomb?
