Chapter 1688: Chapter 906: Red Sea Realm, Sea God, Mount-bearing Dragon Turtle Clan (Part 3)

"I have previously searched through the ancient books of the Spirit Clan, yet I found no records of the Sea God. What is puzzling is that the Sea Spirit Clan everywhere worships the statues of the Sea God. I am quite perplexed by this and would request Taoist Lu to enlighten me."

"You’re too kind, Taoist," Lu Haichao replied with an even more amiable demeanor.

After speaking, his tone changed to one of great gravity: "Brother Zhao may not know. The Sea God is the most mysterious existence in this realm. Even if you sift through all the ancient books of the Human Clan, only a sparse hundred words mention it.

As far as I know, the Sea God is not some ’deity’ imagined by the Sea Spirit Clan but a real existence beyond imagination.

The founder of our World Crossing Sect left a dying prophecy: ’The Sea God is not a god, the Heavenly Dao is not the heavens, the Dragon Turtle crosses the world, and our clan flourishes eternally!’

Throughout the generations, our sect’s ancestors have pondered the founder’s words.

The third generation ancestor passed away during a once-in-ten-thousand-years apocalypse. By a twist of fate, this ancestor connected with the Heavenly Dao and passed a half-sentence before passing: Sea God... how could it be... the heavens—"

Lu Haichao continued eloquently: "The third ancestor perished at the word ’heavens.’ What follows remains uncertain to anyone.

But according to the speculation of ancestors through the ages, the word following ’heavens’ should be ’Dao.’ The sentence would then read: How could the Sea God be the Heavenly Dao!

Initially, the predecessors thought these words preposterous, but after combing through historical scripture scrolls from ancient to modern times..."

Lu Haichao’s expression became extremely solemn, and suddenly he looked directly at Zhao Sheng and asked rhetorically: "Brother Zhao, why not take a guess at the astonishing secret unearthed by our realm’s predecessors?"

"Earlier, you hinted that the legendary Sea God is closely related to this realm’s Heavenly Dao!"

"Indeed! However, Brother Zhao needn’t worry. Although the Sea God is nearly omnipotent, like the Divine, it never meddles in the grudges between the Human Clan and the Spirit Clan, except..."

As his speech reached this point, Lu Haichao mysteriously held back.

Zhao Sheng’s eyes flashed, and he immediately pursued the matter: "Except what?"

Lu Haichao smiled slyly, "Haha, I almost forgot to ask, Brother Zhao, are you perhaps from the Upper Realm?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng grew somewhat impatient.

Slam!

He snapped his fingers suddenly, and Lu Haichao across from him instantly looked dazed, frozen in place.

Subsequently, a trace of Divine Light emerged in Zhao Sheng’s forehead. His Divine Thought had already penetrated Lu Haichao’s Purple Mansion Soul Sea, controlling his Primordial Spirit.

A breath later, Zhao Sheng withdrew his Divine Thought, and his eyes suddenly showed a trace of astonishment.

As it turned out... the legendary Sea God was indeed as he initially speculated, truly a super life form he was intimately familiar with.

Compared to the ’Sea God’ of Tianzhu Realm, the Sea God of the Red Sea Realm is clearly far more mature.

Perhaps tens of thousands of years ago, the Sea God of this realm had already grown into a ’Complete Form.’

Every ten thousand years, the Red Sea Realm ushers in an apocalyptic catastrophe.

The source of the catastrophe comes precisely from the ’scarlet giant sun’ in the sky, as well as from the Outer Realm Starry Sky.

Every ten thousand years, the Great Sun displays the ’Black Sun Halo’ phenomenon.

Whenever this occurs, a group of Mount-bearing Dragon Turtles returns to the Red Sea Realm from the Outer Realm Starry Sky to lay eggs.

The Black Sun Halo phenomenon typically lasts thirty to fifty years, during which the Dragon Turtles will remain in the Red Sea Realm until the halo dissipates.

Once all the young have hatched, the Dragon Turtle clan takes the young and leaves the Red Sea Realm, embarking on a new migratory journey.

The Mount-bearing Dragon Turtle is a super life form adapted to the Outer Domain Starry Sky and is considered a major Star Beast race.

The chief culprit of the apocalyptic catastrophe is precisely the Dragon Turtle clan.

However, in Zhao Sheng’s view, the culprits include not just the Dragon Turtles but also that Complete Form Sea God.

After all, the Dragon Turtles love to eat seaweed, especially since egg-laying is an activity that consumes a tremendous amount of Primordial Qi.

Therefore, after laying eggs, the Dragon Turtles will go on a frenzy devouring algae in the seawater, creating devastating ecological impacts on this realm each time.

The Sea God, being a collective consciousness of algae, cannot stand by and watch the Dragon Turtles devour its ’body.’

The Divine wields Heavenly Dao Power and is bound to launch a counterattack against the Dragon Turtle clan.

Individual Dragon Turtles possess unmatched strength, coupled with assistance from the Star Sky Human Clan residing on their carapace continents.

The Sea God stands no chance against the Dragon Turtle clan, not even with the Sea Spirit Clan on its side.

This has always been the case!

Over countless millennia, the Dragon Turtles have come and gone countless times, yet they continue to live well to this day.

For the Human Clan of this realm, the apocalyptic catastrophe is both a disaster and a once-in-ten-thousand-years grand opportunity.

Divinity Transformation True Monarchs can take this chance to ascend to the continent on the Dragon Turtle’s back and later ascend to another realm.

Human Clan Cultivators below Divinity Transformation can still find the Star Sky Human Clan and engage in trade with them.

The Star Sky Human Clan travels the Star River on Dragon Turtles, passing many spiritual worlds along the way, naturally possessing countless unimaginable Treasures and Heaven and Earth Strange Objects.

Zhao Sheng also noticed that every time after the apocalyptic catastrophe, there would always be some Star Sky Human Clansmen who, for various reasons, remained in the Red Sea Realm and thus became the new generation of the Red Sea Human Clan.

Through countless years, the Red Sea Realm Human Clan has been extinct time and time again, but it has been ’reborn from the ashes’ each time, ultimately forming the unique ’Human Clan Restart’ phenomenon of the Red Sea Realm.

This extraordinarily rare case in the heavens instantly piqued Zhao Sheng’s curiosity.

He was very curious about the Sea God, Dragon Turtles, and even the Star Sky Human Clan, and now he had developed a few inclinations to explore.

Counting by fingers, the once-in-ten-thousand-years apocalyptic catastrophe was not far off.

In retrospect, it is no wonder the Sea Spirit Clan would send an envoy to Fuping Continent; it turns out they were preparing to welcome the apocalyptic catastrophe.

This rare instance in the heavens undoubtedly caught Zhao Sheng’s attention.

He was very curious about the Sea God, Dragon Turtles, and even the Star Sky Human Clan, and couldn’t help but develop a few exploratory thoughts.

Counting by fingers, the once-in-ten-thousand-years apocalyptic catastrophe was not far off.
