Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 738 - 331: Deep Sea Seed of Origin

The Master of the Deep Sea is dead; this Wu Chang can confirm, for only when death is absolute does vitality appear from within.

The entire Lost Continent has merged with the Divine Kingdom of the Master of the Deep Sea. The last remaining Lost City, however, did not collapse upon the death of the Master of the Deep Sea.

The reason is not that the death of the Master of the Deep Sea automatically canceled their binding.

It is because although the Master of the Deep Sea is dead, His Divine Kingdom has not completely dissipated.

The Divine Hall of the Deep Sea, which He devoured to restore His Divine Power before, was merely the surface core of the Divine Kingdom. The true core of the Divine Kingdom of the Master of the Deep Sea has always been below the deep sea and has never moved.

When signing the divine contract with the Great Saint Mother, he and the Great Saint Mother had a consensus that as a God projection, whether it be a pure energy projection or a flesh and blood clone, there should not be such fear of death.

The Master of the Deep Sea’s fear of death likely indicates He has some mission or is guarding something.

The existence of that thing is more important than the clone of the Master of the Deep Sea. For its sake, the Master of the Deep Sea does not dare to die, nor take risks.

Without a doubt, His greatest secret is hidden deep under the sea, within the true core of the Divine Kingdom.

Mentioning the true core of the Divine Kingdom beneath the deep sea naturally made Wu Chang recall Da Gang’s resentment; in that resentment, Da Gang had awaited the Master of the Deep Sea’s command before a deep sea rift.

On the resurfaced Lost Continent, there is no corresponding terrain to the deep sea rift. If the core of the Divine Kingdom exists, it must be beyond the rift appearing in the resentment.

The All-Knowing Crystal could only provide a general direction for the existence of the Divine Kingdom’s core, not a precise location.

The ocean is so vast, and there are so many rifts in the seabed that even if he transformed into a Sea Giant and searched inch by inch, who knows when it would be found.

To find the place where the Master of the Deep Sea once slept, a local guide is needed, and Wu Chang just happens to have someone who knows the way.

A few minutes later, the merman Ernst appeared before Wu Chang, respectfully saying:

"Merman Ernst, summoned by my lord."

Wu Chang jumped into the sea, saying: "Take me to where the Master of the Deep Sea once slept."

Ernst showed a troubled expression, saying:

"Although I lead the mermen, Da Gang only remembers me during raids and battles; his trust in me is far less than in his few deputies."

"The sleep of the Master of the Deep Sea allows no disturbance, and protecting His sleep is the most important task of the Deep Sea Race. The place where the Master of the Deep Sea sleeps is, of course, a top secret. Da Gang never trusted me enough to mention it."

Wu Chang asked: "When you were at the seabed before, did Da Gang designate any areas as off-limits to the mermen?"

After thinking for a moment, Ernst said: "There are two."

Wu Chang pointed in the direction marked by the All-Knowing Crystal and asked: "Is one of them in this direction?"

Ernst said: "There is one."

Wu Chang nodded and said: "Take me there."

Led by Ernst, the two dove into the deep sea and swam along the seabed for more than ten minutes, arriving at a water region where the undercurrents were particularly turbulent.

The water all around looked calm, but being in it, one could feel the pulling force coming from all directions.

If ordinary members of the Deep Sea Race inadvertently entered this area, they would be torn apart by the undercurrents in an instant.

The undercurrents were ineffective against Wu Chang, who held the Title of Titan, but Ernst’s body could barely resist. Wu Chang left him outside and ventured into the chaos by himself.

Heading toward the inner part of the forbidden area, he indeed saw the deep sea rift that appeared in Da Gang’s resentment within the densest zone of turbulence.

What surprised Wu Chang slightly was that the deep sea rift had not expanded due to the departure of the Master of the Deep Sea but remained a narrow fissure.

In Da Gang’s resentment, the rift had a layer of repulsive force that not only blocked him from entering but also prevented any external investigation.

To understand the intelligence beyond the rift, one must rely on the temple guard to relay messages.

But as Wu Chang approached the deep sea rift, instead of feeling repulsed, he sensed an attraction.

A faint call seemed to come from within the rift, urging him to enter.

He closed his eyes, and his Inspiration not only failed to issue a crisis warning but also vaguely offered a sense of warmth akin to home beyond the rift.

Upon carefully perceiving, he discovered that the anomaly arose from the Deep Sea Alien Species bloodline within him, bringing him to a sudden realization.

During the ritual to elevate from Sea Race to Deep Sea Alien Species, the Sea God used the bloodline of Evil God Remains—two tissues of Evil God Remains sharing the same source—and the space beyond the rift appeared to mistake him for part of the Evil God Remains.

Divine Kingdom core, don’t look back, I am the Master of the Deep Sea.

Comprehending the key link, Wu Chang no longer hesitated and approached the deep sea rift.

Upon entering the rift, he found himself in the land where the Master of the Deep Sea once slept.

The Land of Sleep was a massive indoor space, completely dry inside and shielded from seawater by the rift.

The sleeping chamber of the Master of the Deep Sea was a gigantic divine hall, identical to the one at the center of the Lost City, including the two guards perched on square stone pillars outside the divine hall.

The temple guards, mistaking him for the returning Master of the Deep Sea, were kneeling at the entrance, welcoming their lord.

Seeing that it was not the Master of the Deep Sea who entered, but an unfamiliar human, the two temple guards’ minds briefly short-circuited.

By the time they reacted and intended to resist, Wu Chang had already slapped them each aside, killing them instantly on the road.

The two native Divine Level presences that could have served as the final bosses in an A-Level instance were reduced to two pools of mud without even a struggle.
