Chapter 1 Ocean Waves

The ocean waves rose and fell.

On a small island between the Sea of Troubles and the Sea of Merriment, two small figures in crude camouflage clothing, hiding in the forest undergrowth, parted the disguise and cautiously looked outward.

The two figures, a boy and a girl, both looked young. The boy observed the northeast direction, while the girl scouted the southwest, cooperating smoothly and closely, clearly having done this many times before.

These two were Feng Zhimin (Wind People). Their mimicry was perfect, and they were both of pure-blooded bee lineage. One could see the glands that produced barbs and venom on the backs of their hands, shimmering with a deep purple light, making them look very dangerous.

However, if one were to look at the elemental fluctuations, only the boy seemed to have just entered the Chosen One stage, while the girl was only at the middle stage of Revelation.

Dark clouds filled the sky, and translucent rain made the world hazy. At this moment, the weather around the island had already become abnormal, with towering waves rising and surging against the edge of the coast. The thick water vapor could be clearly smelled by the two hiding in the woods.

"The waves have been big lately. Haven't seen those damn pirate ships… they've finally withdrawn." After observing for a long time, the Feng Zhimin who looked like a boy took a long breath. He turned his head and said in a mature and magnetic tone, "Honey, we can go!"

"Ah, we can finally go… we need to get to some big islands quickly, otherwise, with these waves, ordinary small islands will simply be submerged…"

The Feng Zhimin who looked like a girl sighed. She had brown mimetic hair and looked at the distance with some worry. "The waves are so big, I don't know where Sarah is now… no news for so many days, and she hasn't come to find us. Could she be dead?"

"What can we do?" The boy, or rather, Sarah's father, could only shake his head and sigh. He patted his thigh irritably, making a crisp sound of exoskeleton collision. "She's four years old, and she still can't recognize the road! It's one thing that the heavy rain washed away the pheromonal message for rendezvous, but how could she even get on the wrong boat?!"

"Oh, honey, don't be angry. Look, didn't our boat sink too?"

The girl, or rather, Sarah's mother, said optimistically, "If that child had been with us, she might not have survived either—like with such big waves, if we couldn't fly to a big island, she would definitely be drowned."

"But, at least we've lived for almost ten years, no loss!" Saying so, Sarah's mother hugged Sarah's father. "We've been married for a full five years, and although we only have such a silly daughter like Sarah, I've always been very happy…"

"What are you talking about!"

Hearing this, Sarah's father immediately became annoyed. He interrupted his wife and pushed her away. Sarah's father stood up, took off his camouflage uniform, and then tried his best to flap the wings on his body, trying to fly up as much as possible. "Silly woman, didn't we agree to live for thirty years together? Come on, give me your hand, let's go together!"

The lifespan of the Feng Zhimin is very short compared to humans. Although the Wind God used a method called nidao (mimicry) to allow the Feng Zhimin to become insect-people similar to humans, their lifespan was only increased from less than ten years to a maximum of about thirty years.

However, the Feng Zhimin have very little sleep time, and as long as they cultivate, they can increase their lifespan quite a bit. Therefore, the Feng Zhimin do not seem out of place living among the Huo Zhimin (Fire People), and the density of their lives is similar to that of the Huo Zhimin.

Of course, no matter what, the Huo Zhimin still have an absolute advantage in terms of maximum lifespan. And it is precisely because they have a shorter life than other races that the Feng Zhimin always crave exploring the distance, going to unknown places, without leaving any regrets.

At this time, with the help of Sarah's father, Sarah's mother also flapped her rarely used wings and flew up. The two Feng Zhimin worked together to fly in the wind and rain, leaving that small island—soon, accompanied by a giant wave, the island that was only used for temporary hiding was instantly swallowed by the towering wall of water and disappeared in a rumble.

It was swallowed.

This made the two who had just left couldn't help but shudder and mutter to themselves.

"If we had stayed on that island…"

"Our tribe has been rooted here for nearly a hundred years, and we have never seen such abnormal weather."

Recently, the weather around the Sea of Troubles has become increasingly abnormal, not only with the long-lasting storms and whirlpools, but also with these giant waves that have suddenly increased tenfold, which are so terrifying that they can directly swallow a small island—if these waves were to hit the coastal cities of the Huo Zhimin and Feng Zhimin, I'm afraid that half of the city would be flooded.

Boom! Thunder rumbled. Sarah's father, flying in the air, was extremely worried. "Even if we survive these storms, what then? Where can we go? Even if those pirates occupy our island, we can't go back to the Wind Continent and the Fire Continent…"

He raised his head, staring at the sky, instinctively wanting to find direction, but at this time, the dark clouds obscured the stars and the sun, making him even more confused. "Without a clan, without a tribe, wherever we go, we will be oppressed."

However, at this moment, Sarah's father, who was looking up at the sky, accidentally discovered that in the northwest direction of the sky, a large expanse of continuous lightning suddenly appeared.

Boom boom boom—

Purple-cyan lightning flashed, bringing a scorching hot wind and lightning that illuminated the sky. In just a few seconds, the originally bone-chilling rain was all transformed into scalding heat waves and steam. The raindrops that fell even gave a tingling sensation.

"What, what's going on?!" The Feng Zhimin couple were dumbfounded. The two looked up together, and they saw that in the sky, those thousands of dense lightning bolts actually vaguely transformed into the phantom of a lightning giant dragon on the inner side of the clouds!

Not only that, on the other side of the sky, in the southeast direction, a cold aura overflowed, and the magnificent water element brilliance lit up. The icy blue light resisted the spread of the purple-cyan lightning, and it could be vaguely seen that in the midst of the suddenly intensified wind and waves and heavy rain, the clouds in the sky transformed into an incomparably huge centaur giant phantom under the sweeping of the gale. He held a trident-like thunder cloud, and beside him, endless rain gathered and turned into the image of a giant nine-headed serpent.

Boom! Hot wind and icy rain collided with each other, and the lightning dragon, cloud giant, and rain nine-headed serpent in the sky also intersected and fought each other. The collision of the vast aura caused the sky to transform in countless ways, almost like a battle between gods!

"H-honey, what is this?!"

Sarah's mother hugged Sarah's father's waist tightly. She was obviously frightened, and even her voice trembled.

"I, I don't know…"

Although Sarah's father had the strength of a Chosen One, he had only just entered that stage. He didn't even know the limits of the power of a God-blessed… But something like this, a great power that could easily change the weather and transform the sky, at least those God-blessed of the Wind Gods on Yaofeng Continent could not do it!

In other words, that was at least god-level power!

"But, how can there be so many gods… aren't there only three gods in total?"

In order to avoid being struck by lightning, Sarah's father lowered his altitude with Sarah's mother, flying as close as possible to the waves on the sea surface. With confusion in his heart, he couldn't help but think with some fear, "Could it be that the legends among the Sea People and the pirates are true?"

"As long as you find the Source Water Soul, you can become a god… could it be that this is really true?"

Just as Sarah's father was shocked and guessing, at the top of the sky, thunder boomed again.

The couple hurriedly looked up again, only to find that between the purple-cyan lightning and the icy blue water cloud storm, there were tornadoes forming between the sea and the sky. The storms from the northwest and the southeast clashed and swirled between their auras, turning into dozens of clearly visible sea tornadoes.

Translucent shockwaves carried huge amounts of seawater and scattered across the sky, making the dark clouds and rain even thicker and heavier.

At the two ends of the sky, huge lightning dragons were entrenched in the sky and the earth, coldly gazing at the other side, vaguely not taking the centaur giant and the nine-headed serpent seriously, while the other side was extremely solemn—but this confrontation only lasted for less than three seconds. Soon, accompanied by the cloud giant composed of clouds taking action, waving the trident cloud halberd, and slamming towards the lightning dragon, the battle of auras unfolded again.

"Honey, the gods are fighting, let's run!"

In mid-air, Sarah's mother flapped her wings desperately, seemingly wanting to leave, but she found that her husband was standing still.

"No."

Sarah's father looked at the sky and muttered to himself, "We can't run."

"We are in the center of the divine war… no, this can't be considered a divine war, but at least, this is the center of the divine beings fighting each other from afar!"

At this time, facing the cloud giant whose lower body was in the shape of a hippocampus, which was rushing towards him, the Lightning Dragon just opened its mouth.

It was normal for overlord-level beings to confront each other hundreds of kilometers away, even if one side had just advanced, but relying on their own powerful strength and familiarity with the sea, they could also do this.

Strictly speaking, Su Zhou was actually a novice in the overlord stage—rationally analyzing, he had only just advanced to the overlord stage for a little more than half a year, which was not considered a novice, and basically no one could be considered a novice.

The Lightning Dragon easily shattered the sea god phantom in the shape of a centaur holding a trident. It simply opened its head and spewed out a series of enormous lightning, directly piercing the centaur phantom's weapon and head, directly shattering its upper body and turning it into ordinary clouds.

[Neptune from Mycenae? Looks a bit like it, but why is Neptune here?]

[Isn't this a reincarnation world, how can there be Earth gods?]

Vaguely, the Feng Zhimin couple could hear such doubtful voices. But just after the Lightning Dragon incarnation shattered the cloud giant's phantom, the nine-headed giant serpent, composed of rain, suddenly leaped up and crushed towards the giant dragon—its nine heads erupted with nine different power attacks, either blocking, or impacting, or freezing, or corroding… although the incarnation had no way to fight with the body's venom, it could simulate similar effects with the comprehension of water elements.

The Source Water Soul was such an existence. The person who obtained the Source Water Soul could not obtain the elemental control authority of the entire world. That was the power possessed by the "Four Elemental Hearts," the center of the Tartadis world's era reincarnation. However, the Source Water Soul could accumulate a large amount of pure water elements while granting the holder the most precise control and skills over water elements.

The Law Path among the four paths of Ascension could make spells used as if they had spirits, and the Source Water Soul could forcibly elevate a person's control and skills over water elements to almost this level. As long as the holder had a little talent, they could use this to enter the realm of "Water Overlord" or "Water God!"

And now, the nine-headed rain serpent used such exquisite skills. Its nine heads danced wildly, using many different spells at the same time. It could be seen that the icy blue light of water elements splashed onto the purple-cyan Lightning Dragon's body, and began to corrode as if it were alive, slowing down the Lightning Dragon's movement ability. And its nine long necks rapidly popped out, wrapping around the Lightning Dragon's body, seemingly wanting to completely crush it in a cracking sound.

However, the Lightning Dragon did not move at all in the face of the nine-headed dragon's fierce offensive.

The purple-cyan lightning was dim and uncertain, flashing with a dangerous aura.

And the next moment, it exploded!

Boom!!!

No one could have imagined that the Lightning Dragon would directly self-destruct!

It shattered into a sky full of scattered brilliant lightning, shattering the unprepared nine-headed serpent into a mess—then, about a few seconds later, after the lightning scattered by the Lightning Dragon formed a perfect circular lightning belt, it rapidly recovered as if time was reversing, and re-condensed into the appearance of the Lightning Dragon!

At this time, the centaur cloud giant had only barely recovered most of its head. After noticing the Lightning Dragon's power, its expression suddenly changed, and then it turned its head, seemingly sending a request for help to its original location—but before anything could rise up in the distance, the Lightning Dragon took the initiative to attack again, fighting the centaur cloud giant into a团, blasting it back again and again.

But, at this moment, a huge aura faintly appeared in the distance, and the storm swept through the clouds, forming a giant storm whale, which was rushing from the distance, and its power was even stronger than that of the cloud giant and the nine-headed serpent.

The three gods combined their strength, and abruptly blocked the Lightning Dragon's attack.

And the confused voice sounded again.

[Nine-headed serpent Hydra? And the other one, this rain-calling giant whale, could it be Kun…]

"Honey… who do you think will win?"

The offensive in the sky, with lightning and thunder and wind and rain, the confrontation of auras from a distance, except for the gods, even the God-blessed could not see clearly, let alone Sarah's father, an ordinary Feng Zhimin who had just entered the Chosen One stage.

And Sarah's father stared at the sky for a long time, pretending to think for a while, and then nodded seriously and said, "I think the Lightning Dragon is more handsome!"

At the same time, in the southwest distance.

A huge water element giant stood on the rising seawater mountain peak, and the King of the Sea of Bewilderment was doing his best to control his distant cloud incarnation, resisting the offensive of the Thunder Dragon.

It could be seen that His lower body was a bizarre image of a horse that was half normal horse and half seahorse, and in His hand He held a cyan trident completely condensed from water elements, possessing the power to command the waves and rain clouds.

The King of the Sea of Bewilderment obtained from the Pioneer Executor the 'Neptune' template, known as the Mycenaean sea god, in the Pioneer Space!

It was said that this was a trophy obtained by the Pioneer Executor when fighting many enemies in a mysterious world that could grant wishes, a template developed from a portion of the god's bloodline, holding a portion of the power of a true god.

And after being infused with the Source Water Soul, the so-called "part of the divine power" could completely remove "part of"—that was already true divine power!

"This power is too strong, too strong!"

Although resisting the Thunder Dragon's attack was very hard, the pirate king of the Sea of Bewilderment, who was not long ago just a sea king, couldn't help but laugh wildly. He felt the power in his body with surprise, "It's really comparable to a god!"

Similarly, the nine-headed sea serpent and the blue giant whale with long pectoral fins were also extremely excited.

In the past, They had been wandering in the sea because They feared the judgment of the God of Judgment, and did not dare to set foot on the continent. Even if They occasionally plundered, They did not dare to kill people randomly and vent Their desires, lest They immediately encounter divine punishment.

But now, facing the Thunder Dragon, which was obviously the incarnation of the God of Judgment, They were able to pass two moves, and when They joined forces, They could vaguely suppress the other party!

For They who had been suppressed for decades, how pleasant was this!

"Hahahaha, the Lord of Judgment is nothing more than this!"

On the other side.

At the edge of the Sea of Troubles, at the forefront of the huge Fire People fleet.

Standing on the bow deck, Su Zhou, who was fighting the aura of the many newly born Water Gods from afar, frowned slightly.

Then, he heard a somewhat worried voice.

[Teacher, do you need me to help you?]

Bright fire runes were flashing on every ship of the Fire People fleet.

At this time, Elias was using his divine power to urge the seawater to evaporate and generate steam, driving the fleet to travel at high speed through the waves.

The Fire People fleet was along the way to destroy all the scattered pirate groups, and to help the Sea People who were encountering crises in the huge waves.

Compared with Fire People cities such as Twilight City located on the coast of the continent, the many Sea People located on the Seven Seas Pirates were the largest and most severely affected victims of this huge wave—a sudden rise of five or six meters in the sea level, and giant waves of more than ten meters high that would rise from time to time, made it difficult for any island to withstand this violent change. Even the Sea People who had lived in the sea for hundreds of years could not withstand this blow.

Therefore, even if they feared the Fire People fleet, feared the priests and the punishment of their covenants, when faced with death and the monstrous waves that were enough to destroy the entire tribe, most of the Sea People still accepted the assistance of the Fire People, and were placed on the ships, or the unbalanced elements around the islands were calmed down by Su Zhou or Elias to ensure safety.

At this time, facing Elias's concerned inquiry, Su Zhou narrowed his eyes and stared at the situation in the distance for a while.

The youth felt the aura that was projected from afar, and he simply shook his head and replied, "No need."

Su Zhou, who was a little annoyed by being besieged, twitched the corners of his mouth and showed a dangerous smile, "Three against one, and all of them are going all out… then it seems that I can't hold back either."

"Moreover, this is a naval battle, right—perfect, let's have a new form."

At the end of his words, Su Zhou jumped up and flew away from the deck, directly into the clouds in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a long dragon roar resounded, causing the clouds in the sky to ripple and fluctuate, and thunder rolled between the dark clouds—then, a round of divine light that was like the sun suddenly lit up.

[Ah…]

The god in the form of a teenager raised his head, his gray pupils staring at the high sky.

Elias could see that between the brilliant cyan flash of light, there was a slender black True Dragon, completely different in form from what He had seen in the past, shuttling between the clouds, revealing only scales and claws.

Among the clouds and mist, only the slender True Dragon horns entwined with cyan lightning, towering out of the clouds, could be seen, causing the lightning that covered the entire sky to sway.

Then, under the gaze of the Fire God, a slender dragon claw protruded from the clouds. It paused slightly in the air, and then, with the sky full of lightning, and the black and white flames of sin, pressed down from afar towards the other end of the southwest of the sky!

Boom!

Southwest of the Sea of Troubles, in the Sea of Meditation.

The sea giant who was stepping on the seawater mountain peak, trying his best to control his incarnation, fighting against the Lightning Dragon, was still laughing happily at this time.

However, at this moment, as a bright and hot flash of lightning suddenly lit up in the sky, a terrible claw power with unpredictable power, carrying the arc of lightning and thunder, descended from the sky, accurately covering the water element giant that was hundreds of meters high on the seawater mountain peak.

For a time, only a black and white thunder tribulation, like a divine punishment, fell down, and then there was no momentum at all, making the three Water Gods, who had raised their vigilance, look at each other inexplicably, not knowing who had been attacked.

However, although there was no sky full of thunder, and no momentum enough to change the weather, under this ordinary thunder light, in that small cold flame, there was an incomparably terrifying destructive power!

The black and white flames of sin, with the thunder light, went straight into the body of the sea giant, and the karma burned, instantly penetrating into the depths of the Sea King's souls. Although this attack seemed to have not directly harmed the sea giant, it was rapidly accumulating power.

"Ah!!! What, what is this?!"

Soon, a few seconds later, accompanied by an extremely shrill scream, the karma fire that completely ignited the sin in the sea giant's body began to burn fiercely. It was like the most meticulous crusher, igniting every subtle structure of the soul in turn. After turning it into powder, it ignited the magic power in the giant's body, instantly turning it into a burning black and white torch.

It could be seen that a large number of cracked cracks suddenly appeared on the outer shell of the sea blue giant's body, and black and white cold lights burst out from the cracks, like long swords piercing out from the body.

The karma fire was burning fiercely, and even followed the sea giant's water element power, igniting the surrounding sea, causing the sky full of water vapor to rapidly rise and rush towards the sky, turning into a cloud pillar.

"What's going on?!"

"Modar, what's wrong with you?!"

Seeing that his companion had just let out an extremely painful scream, and then struggled in a living hell, the nine-headed sea serpent and the sea blue giant whale suddenly changed their expressions. They recalled the seemingly ordinary thunder tribulation before, and fear arose in their hearts, "Could it be that just now, that was the divine punishment of the Lord of Judgment?!"

"What kind of power is it that can cross hundreds of kilometers and directly seriously injure Modar, who has become a Water God!?"

Among the Seven Sea Kings, the Sea King of Bewilderment, Modar, the Sea King of Meditation, Kelun, and the Sea King of Troubles, Yaber, these three sea kings, for various reasons, did not break through to the first rank of the God-blessed, but only wandered at the peak of the Chosen One.

However, these three sea kings possessed some special powers, and could explode comparable to a God-blessed, or even surpass the destructive power of an ordinary God-blessed in a short time by virtue of their powerful talent spells.

With the help of this power, the three sea kings vaguely had an alliance to fight against the other four powerful sea emperors.

The divine power that the Sea King of Bewilderment, Modar, obtained after swallowing the Source Water Soul was the "Wave Power" that was enough to control the sea tides and giant waves. It was the power to accumulate power through layers of waves, turning small waves into monstrous forces—He was precisely the one who stirred up a super tsunami on the Yaofeng Continent that submerged most of the southern coast, completed his "catastrophe ritual," and constructed an unbalanced source of water element power.

With the help of the Source Water Soul, Modar's power was rapidly strengthened, and the Source Water Soul further enhanced His control and admiration of water elements, allowing Him to rapidly grow to the point of being almost a god in this regard.

And the "Super Life Template", a power from the Pioneer Executor, made them true Water Gods!

Perhaps there were still some shortcomings now, but as long as some time passed, Modar's power would definitely not be inferior to a normal cultivator who had just entered the Overlord rank!

But now, the powerful Modar was turned into a burning fire person in a thunder bombardment, no matter if it was the nine-headed sea snake or the floating whale, they feared the cold black and white fire and dared not approach, and could only watch His soul gradually decline, and gradually turn into nothing in painful repentance and reflection.

"Retreat!"

And at this moment, They heard an extremely nervous voice.

Ancent, the ant lich, an explorer of the Pioneer Space, had been hiding in a quiet corner of the Sea of Meditation, observing the distant battle between the Water Gods and the Lord of Judgment, collecting data from both sides.

At first, he was quite excited, after all, battles of the overlord stage were rare even in the Pioneer Space, this was a precious material that was worth a thousand gold pieces.

But when a breath that made him feel extremely dangerous and creepy suddenly flashed across the top of the sky, Ancent was horrified to find that a Water God who had just advanced, the Water God Modar, who held the Mycenaean Neptune template, was lit by the black and white fire of thunder tribulation, and then died in agony and pain.

—The Lord of Judgment is so strong?!

Before, when Ancent learned that two Lords of Judgment were fighting each other, he thought that there might have been an error in the divine descent, so that the separate body that instinctively descended thunder punishment had a conflict with the main body of the divine descent.

The thunder law separate body may only have the lower limit of the overlord stage, while the main body is a powerful overlord.

And the space's prompt, "It is recommended to return immediately," was not taken too seriously by him… After all, a normal overlord stage would probably have such a prompt, after all, even the non-overlord "God Wood Not Easy" also had a similar skull logo, enough to kill him with one blow.

The plan was to seize the power of the divine overlord, and if he did not dare to bear this risk, he would be embarrassed to call himself an explorer of the Pioneer Space? Therefore, Ancent was not too worried about this, but secretly prepared measures to escape.

But… like this, hundreds of miles away, even when he could not see it, he killed a Water God who was an overlord with one blow from afar… the power of the God of Judgment was too strong!

He may have misjudged the strength of the three gods in his mother world… that's right, his exploration of the mother world was only in the middle, and he had not fully reached the "high" level of "knowing all kinds of secrets"!

"The plan was too smooth, and I was negligent…"

If it was not impossible to sweat, the ant lich estimated that he would probably be covered in sweat, but Ancent was after all a senior explorer who had experienced great storms. Soon, he strengthened his heart, and then immediately picked up different communicators one by one.

He simultaneously connected the remaining five Seven Sea Kings.

But, at this moment.

The place where the nine-headed sea serpent and the storm giant whale were.

The clouds were torn apart, and the dazzling sunlight and lightning illuminated the sky, and half of the sky was dyed with the color of cyan lightning brilliance.

Accompanied by bursts of wind and thunder, a slender black True Dragon was rapidly shuttling through the rain of clouds, flying like a black lightning bolt!
