"You want to give me your son? You should have said so earlier!"
Upon hearing the words of the Sea God of Silence, the World-Destroying Spirit Fire's expression changed. He patted the backpack behind him. "Son, come out!"
The World-Destroying Little Fire immediately transformed into human form and floated in front of the World-Destroying Spirit Fire.
The Sea God of Silence was stunned to see that the creature hatched from the egg was a backpack, and it hadn't recognized Ye Ling as its master. He couldn't understand what had happened in the coral palace, which had led to this complicated situation.
However, the Sea God of Silence couldn't dwell on it any longer. He beckoned to the World-Destroying Little Fire, "Child, come here!"
Seeing the Sea God of Silence beckoning to him, the World-Destroying Little Fire looked towards the World-Destroying Spirit Fire, clearly still wary and fearful of the Sea God of Silence.
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire, however, didn't think much of it. "Don't be afraid. With me here, that guy wouldn't dare do anything to you."
After the World-Destroying Spirit Fire said this, the World-Destroying Little Fire finally felt at ease and flew to the Sea God of Silence.
The Sea God of Silence examined the World-Destroying Little Fire that had flown before him, then nodded with satisfaction. "Good child, you are a creature that has emerged from the Sea of Silence. From now on, when you are active in the void, you will represent the face of the Sea of Silence. I shall bestow upon you the highest blessing."
As the Sea God of Silence finished speaking, the calm Sea of Silence began to churn. A large number of water vortexes flew out from the Sea of Silence, condensing into a scroll made of seawater in the sky.
The scroll displayed a large number of peculiar characters, along with ink wash paintings of the Sea of Silence.
"That is..."
Ye Ling's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the scroll suspended in the air.
He felt the aura of karma from the scroll.
It was clear that what the Sea God of Silence was gifting to the World-Destroying Little Fire was a karma skill.
Moreover, judging by the aura of karma emanating from the scroll, the karma skill gifted by the Sea God of Silence was an exceptionally powerful ability.
A large amount of seawater surged from the scroll in the sky, engulfing the World-Destroying Little Fire, and then pulling the World-Destroying Little Fire into the scroll in the sky.
Everyone could see that the World-Destroying Little Fire appeared within the painting, and all the energy within the painting was entering the World-Destroying Little Fire's body for it to absorb.
This situation continued for quite some time before the Sea of Silence returned to its calm state. The scroll made of seawater in the sky disappeared, and the World-Destroying Little Fire emerged from it.
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire looked at the World-Destroying Little Fire standing in the sky and said to Ye Ling, "Is this my illusion? Why do I feel like Little Fire has grown taller?"
Ye Ling replied, "It's not an illusion, he's gotten bigger."
Ye Ling then looked at the Sea God of Silence and asked, "What karma skill did you give the World-Destroying Little Fire?"
The Sea God of Silence bowed slightly to Ye Ling and replied respectfully, "Reporting to you, sir, it is a divine skill nurtured by the Sea of Silence over a long period, the Sea God's Forbidden Domain."
"Sea God's Forbidden Domain?" Ye Ling raised an eyebrow slightly. "What are its effects?"
The Sea God of Silence explained, "This is a domain-type karma skill. Once the domain is activated, all liquids within the domain are under the control of the owner of the Sea God's Forbidden Domain."
"Furthermore, the range of the domain will expand infinitely as the owner grows."
"You mean, all liquids?" Ye Ling's pupils contracted slightly, and he exclaimed in surprise.
After all, the majority of creatures in the void had water as the largest component of their bodies. For example, in humans... water accounted for seventy percent of an adult human's body weight.
If the World-Destroying Little Fire were to activate the Sea God's Forbidden Domain and be able to control all liquids, it would be no different from controlling the lives of everyone! Even if there were creatures in the void that had no water at all, such as the World-Destroying Spirit Fire, as long as they were in an environment with water, the World-Destroying Little Fire would have a significant advantage.
It could be said that with the Sea God's Forbidden Domain, the World-Destroying Little Fire would have an absolute advantage in most battles from now on.
The Sea God of Silence continued, "That's right. From now on, all water will obey him, even the primordial waters from the distant past."
Ye Ling remarked, "Then this is a great gift you've given us. This favor is hard to repay!"
The Sea God of Silence replied, "Sir, the World-Destroying Little Fire is a new life born from the Sea of Silence, and he will follow you, with boundless prospects. The blessing of the Sea of Silence is merely adding icing to the cake; it is nothing significant."
"Moreover, there are no intelligent beings in the Sea of Silence, and as the will of the sea, I am unable to use karma skills. Only the World-Destroying Little Fire can use this Sea God's Forbidden Domain, so please accept it with peace of mind and without any burden."
"Since you put it that way, I won't be polite. I will express my gratitude on behalf of the World-Destroying Little Fire."
Ye Ling smiled and cupped his fists in a salute to the Sea God of Silence, expressing his thanks.
The Sea God of Silence also cupped his fists in return, then dissolved into liquid and dissipated, and the Sea of Silence returned to its calm state.
As the Sea God of Silence departed, the World-Destroying Spirit Fire approached Ye Ling and whispered, "Kid, I don't think that Sea God's Forbidden Domain is that strong. Why do you look so surprised?"
Ye Ling looked at the World-Destroying Spirit Fire and asked in surprise, "You really don't think the Sea God's Forbidden Domain is strong?"
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire scoffed, "What's so strong about it? It's just controlling all liquids. For a being like me, that karma skill has no effect at all!"
"Is that so?"
Ye Ling observed the World-Destroying Spirit Fire playfully, then beckoned to the World-Destroying Little Fire in the air, "Little Fire, come here!"
Hearing Ye Ling's call, the World-Destroying Little Fire immediately flew back and affectionately nuzzled Ye Ling's arm with its head.
Ye Ling stroked the World-Destroying Little Fire's head and asked, "Have you learned the karma skill the Sea God of Silence gave you just now?"
The World-Destroying Little Fire nodded repeatedly.
Ye Ling instructed, "Little Fire, your father wants to test the strength of your newly learned Sea God's Forbidden Domain. Practice with him and let your father see how powerful you are!"
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire boasted, "Bring it on! I really don't believe this little brat is that strong! Son, just come at me with all you've got. Let's spar, father and son. If you win, I'll give you a reward!"
Seeing the World-Destroying Spirit Fire's confident demeanor, a hint of a smile flashed in Ye Ling's eyes. He patted the World-Destroying Little Fire's shoulder and said, "Good luck. If you win, I'll give you a reward too!"
With that, Ye Ling gave the World-Destroying Spirit Fire a look of "good luck" and then used Absolute Divine Movement to leave the Sea of Silence with Long Yu and the others.
"He's acting so strange. Is he that scary?" The World-Destroying Spirit Fire muttered to himself as Ye Ling led everyone away. He then confidently patted his chest towards the World-Destroying Little Fire, "Kid, bring it on! Let me see your true abilities!"
"Mhm, mhm!"
The World-Destroying Little Fire nodded repeatedly, then became serious and activated the Sea God's Forbidden Domain.
Buzz—!
The moment the World-Destroying Little Fire activated the Sea God's Forbidden Domain, the smile on the World-Destroying Spirit Fire's face froze. He vaguely felt that something was amiss.
"This feeling..."
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire glanced at the quiet surroundings, not yet understanding the source of his unease. Suddenly, he realized that the entire island was submerged in seawater, and he was in the water.
All the spiritual energy within him was sealed by an extremely thin film of water. He could no longer activate any of his powers, and even the flames that were burning fiercely around him were rapidly extinguishing!
"Wait, wait!"
Boom!!!
As the World-Destroying Spirit Fire spoke, the endless seawater suddenly compressed, and the World-Destroying Spirit Fire was instantly swallowed by the water!
