Chapter 686: Purifying the Blue Sea, United as One
Under the blinding golden radiance, the mottled sea below began to change. Though the waves still surged, it seemed that countless patches of murky air were evaporating, gradually turning into nothingness under the illumination of the golden light.
"No one and nothing is permitted to taint the sea." Tang San's cold, majestic voice echoed through the sky as a beam of golden light suddenly shot out from the tips of the Sea God’s Trident, piercing into the murky Sea Plague in an instant.@@@@
In an instant, everything around—both sky and sea—turned gold. Brilliant, resplendent gold.
Tang San’s divine consciousness was rapidly depleting, but in this moment, he held nothing back. Since coming to this world, this was the first time, aside from that time he’d risked his life for Mei Gongzi, that he had unleashed his divine consciousness without reservation. Even if it ended up causing the plane to be more wary of him, he had no regrets.
What was the Sea God? If he couldn’t protect the sea, what right did he have to be its god?
The filth of the Sea Plague receded at a visible pace. Ghostly remnants of souls began to rise from the sea's surface. The weaker souls were barely wisps of smoke, while the stronger ones were larger, with some even exceeding a meter in diameter.
There was no doubt that these were the spirits of sea beasts that had perished in the Sea Plague. Yet, at this moment, their lingering souls were no longer tainted. Bathed in the pure golden light, they too became pure.
They gently floated upward, drifting toward the golden figure in the sky, merging resolutely into the golden light. It was as if only by doing so could they be saved.
Tang San had not yet reached godhood. Could he purify such a vast Sea Plague with his strength alone? Impossible. He lacked that level of power.
But he was the Sea God, and his body was the host of the Sea God's divinity. Here, this was his domain.
Those lingering souls, the power of their faith—they were the source of his strength. Instead of weakening as he fully unleashed his divine consciousness, his aura grew stronger, expanding to cover an even broader area, purifying the Sea Plague below.
His form continued to grow larger, gradually reaching a height of a hundred meters. He resembled a giant bathed in gold, as if the true Sea God was descending. Under his power, the filthy Sea Plague rapidly receded.
What a clan you are, Celestial Fox Clan! Perhaps you are the only clan that should not exist in this world. For your own selfish gain, for the sake of your fellow demons and nymphs, you traded the lives of all other races. How selfish, how cruel!
The ethereal Sea God Trident shot out from Tang San’s hand, transforming into a golden halo that spread into the distance. Countless points of light followed the golden halo, and from all directions, more light points merged into it, rapidly purifying the entire region shrouded by the Sea Plague.
The golden light surrounding Tang San quickly faded, and he began to descend from the sky, falling toward the sea.
Under his guidance, with the Sea God's power at the center, the combined faith and strength of the sea clans made the purification of the Sea Plague no longer an issue. It was not his individual effort but the collective effort of the sea clans that made this purification possible. On his own, he could never have achieved this, but with his leadership, everything proceeded smoothly.
A massive white figure suddenly appeared beneath him, catching him as he fell. It was the Sea Shark King, who had reverted to his great white shark form.
The earlier purification did not weaken Tang San. The faith power from countless marine creatures had replenished his depleted divine consciousness. He refrained from continuing because the tribulation clouds in the sky, which he had temporarily obscured, were beginning to gather again. This forced him to disperse the Sea God’s power, leaving the sea clans to continue the purification themselves. Though the process would be slower, it was sustainable for as long as it was necessary.
"Your Highness!" The Sea Walrus elder had also arrived nearby. Its massive form bowed deeply before Tang San.
"Rubbish, what do you mean by 'Highness'?" The Sea Shark King's furious voice rang out, causing a shockwave that the Walrus Elder flying.
The Sea Walrus elder looked at the Sea Shark King in confusion, but the Sea Shark King’s voice was now filled with pride as he continued, "This is the Sea God, the one the heavens have bestowed upon us to be the ruler of the Endless Blue Sea. He is the divine lord who will lead us out of despair. You useless fools couldn’t even recognize the Sea God before. You're the most worthless of the worthless. Sea God, just say the word, and I’ll tear it apart and serve it to you as food. Walrus fat is quite rich and tasty."
Tang San was speechless. Brother, if you want to eat it yourself, you should just say so. A Sea Walrus god was surely a tempting treat for someone like the Sea Shark King.
He shook his head and admonished the shark. "The sea clans should coexist peacefully."
The Sea Shark King, however, was unconcerned. "Survival of the fittest. The weak are meant to be the food of the strong. Otherwise, wouldn't the strong starve to death?"
