...

Twenty years passed in the blink of an eye.

In recent years, more and more male and female Dragon Turtles have emerged from the Fire Sea as the mating season drew to a close.

At this time, the Great Sun Fire Sea finally regained some brightness, the black flares shrinking by several times.

One day six months later, Zhao Sheng was meditating on the Dead Star with his eyes closed, when suddenly he heard Mu Zha’s urgent voice: "Master, look quickly!"

Zhao Sheng opened his eyes, his gaze instantly landing on the distant Great Sun that had existed for billions of years.

At this moment, Mount-bearing Dragon Turtles of an unimaginable size were consecutively leaving the Fire Sea, slowly flying towards the dark Void.

"Hmm? Are they leaving?" Zhao Sheng thought in surprise, a glimmer in his eyes.

However, he quickly realized he was mistaken.

An hour later, only a little more than sixty Mount-bearing Dragon Turtles flew out from the Great Sun, heading towards the Red Sea Realm.

Leading the group was none other than the Dragon Turtle Commander, whose body spanned over tens of thousands of miles.

As the Dragon Turtle group soared over the Dead Star, the extreme sense of oppression that covered the sky and the earth and the instinctive tremor rooted deep in the bloodline were nearly suffocating.

Zhao Sheng instinctively held his breath, watching the Dragon Turtle group go far away.

Before long, the Dragon Turtle group crashed into the Red Sea Realm’s atmosphere, instantly tearing through the entire atmosphere as billions of lightning bolts ignited it.

As countless giant vortices appeared in an instant, the Red Sea Star finally "ignited," and the atmosphere transformed into an endless Fire Sea, spreading towards the sea below.

One enormous Dragon Turtle after another smashed through the thick atmosphere, appearing like gigantic "meteor firefalls," crashing into the boundless vast ocean with a thunderous roar.

The "ocean" covering the entire planet

soon "boiled," as colossal waves reaching tens of thousands of feet high suddenly surged on the sea surface.

At this time, the Floating Fortresses hidden within the Sky Gang atmosphere were the first to suffer.

The super storm stirred up accidentally as the Mount-bearing Dragon Turtles crashed through the atmosphere quickly affected the many Floating Fortresses.

How could the Floating Fortresses resist such a cataclysmic natural disaster, and they soon fell into the sea one by one, leading to the near wipeout of the Human Clan Cultivators inside the fortresses.

At the same time, the super Treasure Ships hiding in the deep sea, hoping to use the seawater to resist the calamity, were not in a much better situation.

The Mount-bearing Dragon Turtles were comparable in size to a continent; when they sank into the sea, it was tantamount to the submergence of the Divine Continent.

Over sixty Mount-bearing Dragon Turtles, each with a diameter of a million miles, were equivalent to more than sixty continents sinking simultaneously. The destruction they caused was unimaginable.

In just half a day, at least two-thirds of the super Treasure Ships were crushed, with not a single cultivator surviving on board.

In contrast to these "fools," Lu Haichao, Gu Hong, and others were much smarter, boarding the Other Shore Divine Ship and Calamity Crossing Ship early to escape the Red Sea Realm, temporarily taking refuge on other Dead Stars.

Perhaps those "fools" were not actually foolish but simply lacked the ability to refine an "Other Shore Divine Ship" and escape their realm.

In less than a day, the human population in the Red Sea Realm plummeted, with even the addition of Lu Haichao, Gu Hong, and others totaling fewer than ten thousand people.

Like human destiny, countless marine life forms and races in the ocean were also becoming extinct in large numbers.

Fate is often absurd like this!

As the saying goes: Your destruction is none of your concern!

Over sixty female Mount-bearing Dragon Turtles sank one after another to the seabed and began digging through the seabed, quickly burrowing towards the Earth’s Core.

The power of the Mount-bearing Dragon Turtles was so immense that the crust was pierced through in an instant, and endless magma gushed up from the depths of the crust.

In just half a day, numerous erupting massive volcanoes emerged on the seabed.

The scorching magma flowed and spread, forming thousands of miles wide subaqueous fire lakes.

The fire lakes merged with the seawater, the convergence point of fire and water.

Female Dragon Turtles floated on the fire lakes’ surface, seemingly falling into a deep sleep for a moment.

In reality, they were laying new Dragon Turtle eggs.

In a flash of light, Zhao Sheng silently appeared somewhere on the seabed.

He remotely gazed towards the distant seabed, seeing the hot magma illuminating the dark seabed and vaguely revealing an unimaginably enormous entity.

Zhao Sheng’s gaze was strange and profound, and his Divine Thought spread out like water, instantly covering the female Dragon Turtle miles away.

The female Dragon Turtle was completely focused on laying Dragon Turtle eggs, completely unaware that someone was watching it.

...

One year sped by in an instant.

Over sixty female Dragon Turtles successively laid Dragon Turtle eggs and then floated to the sea surface one after another.

Having consumed a large amount of Primordial Qi, the female Dragon Turtles began to ravenously devour countless algae in the sea.

Every moment, tons upon tons of various algae were being consumed by the Dragon Turtles.

These algae, rich in nutrients and nature’s spiritual energy, were sufficient to replenish the essential trace elements the Dragon Turtles lacked after laying eggs.

While the female Dragon Turtles were devouring large quantities of sea algae, beneath the deepest Sea Abyss in the northeast of the Red Sea Realm lay a colossal undersea city stretching for hundreds of miles.

The grand city was magnificent, as if a fairy-tale crystal city, with walls and ground made of the finest crystals.

Spectacular crystal buildings, emitting seven-colored radiance, could be seen everywhere, including crystal towers, jade palaces, and various exquisitely fine pavilions and towers—all magnificent, resembling nothing of this realm.

This massive underwater city was the royal city of the Sea Spirit Clan, with a lofty, hundred-zhang high Divine Statue made entirely of Top-grade Spirit Stones standing at the very center.

The statue’s face was compassionate and sacred, filled with pity for the world.

It stood there, seemingly merging with the heavens and earth, emitting an eternal, serene, and mysterious aura.

At this time, on a vast plaza before the Divine Statue, a million Spirit Clan cultivators knelt on both knees, repeatedly bowing towards the statue while chanting ancient songs passed down through generations.

The singing was ethereal and lingering, yet resonated with a weighty sense of history, filled with unspeakable rhythm.

As time slowly passed, the Divine Statue gradually exhibited a hint of vitality, as if awakening little by little from ancient slumber.

After countless renditions of the Sea God’s hymn, the statue’s eyes finally gleamed with a vibrant, wise glint, and then a vast, mighty, ancient aura filled the heavens and the earth.

The Sea God... finally awakened!

At the moment the statue came to life, billions of seaweeds scattered throughout the ocean simultaneously trembled and then emitted an extremely faint glow.

Although this glow was so faint it was nearly invisible, when the billions of seaweeds burst into their radiance simultaneously, countless micro-glows converged into a sea, instantly releasing the most brilliant and dazzling light.

In just an instant, the Red Sea Realm suddenly "came to life."

The next moment, under an indescribably great power, the previously riddled atmosphere was instantaneously restored to its original state.

The sky full of thunder and dragon tornadoes quickly vanished by more than half, the towering waves swiftly calmed, and the ocean began to rapidly return to tranquility.

This seemingly miraculous scene immediately astonished Zhao Sheng, as well as the "moon" above the sky.

The "moon" occupied half of the sky, appearing incredibly colossal, yet it was actually the Dragon Turtle Commander.
