Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1129 - 473: Spirit Jade Island Is Not an Island!

Dawn crept in as thunder boomed and rain lashed down from the heavens, with heavy dark clouds pressing low.

Liang Yuan owned no watch. Truthfully, in the apocalypse, time had long ceased to hold any significance for survivors.

Each additional moment of life was a victory.

In truth, daylight brought far more ease to people than the shroud of night.

Aboard the Water God Sect's battleship, Liang Yuan awoke, his masked face showing utter composure and detachment.

Through a full night of probing, he had begun to piece together the inner workings of the Water God Sect.

The Water God Sect reveres the Water God, centering its teachings on the 'Threefold Theory of Rebirth and Extinction'.

This Threefold Theory of Rebirth and Extinction covers three stages: 'First Tide', 'Eternal Abyss', and 'Gui Xu'.

Believers in the Water God Sect proclaim that in the First Tide phase, the Divine Being will purge human hubris via massive floods, granting rebirth only to the faithful who survive the deluge.

The Eternal Abyss marks the moment when oceans swallow the continents, demanding that devotees reshape their forms to thrive in the deep-sea future.

Gui Xu arrives as every civilization plunges to the ocean floor, allowing the Divine Being to ignite a fresh cycle of existence.

This doomsday creed has drawn hordes of adherents in Guangfu, where faith in the Water God runs deep among many.

Naturally, the three major Sects all rest on bedrock apocalyptic beliefs.

The Earth Mother Sect operates identically, preying on apocalypse terrors to build its flock.

Deep down, Liang Yuan understood that with doomsday looming, cults would sprout like malevolent spirits.

Though they appeared fresh and innovative, closer scrutiny revealed the Water God Sect's doctrines as a patchwork of borrowed ideas.

The Water God Sect had even woven in Cthulhu Mythos touches to glorify the flood-spawned mutant beasts.

You could mock it, yet countless folks swallowed it whole.

At minimum, aboard this vessel, Liang Yuan witnessed rank-and-file devotees utterly sold on the Water God's reality.

Liang Yuan reflected on the visible mutations among them—scales, gills, and strange growths sprouting under their masks.

Such changes likely warped the psyches of everyday people too.

With genuine gill structures, one could defy drowning in the floods.

Whether these gills let them, like sea life, ditch oxygen needs and respire fully submerged remained a mystery.

"Woo—"

While Liang Yuan mulled this over, the battleship decelerated abruptly, a horn blaring through the air.

He glanced up to see blue-robed figures streaming from cabins onto the deck.

He stood promptly, adjusted his robe, and blended into the throng.

The authoritative figure, a hulking man in blue robes, barked, "We've arrived at the Three Elements Building. Chu Ming, Wang Jian, fetch the Three Elements Building's leader to meet me aboard."

From the assembly, two Blue Robe Envoys advanced at once.

"Yes, sir!"

They acknowledged sharply, then vaulted into the churning floodwaters.

But they didn't plunge under; surging waves lifted them, propelling the pair toward the close-by structure.

"Two Water Attribute Superpower Users!"

Liang Yuan's gaze sharpened; the Water God Sect teemed with Water Attribute Superpower Users.

"The Water God Sect surely commands vast stocks of Water Attribute Genetic Species. Yet the method of their extraction stays shrouded."

Liang Yuan pondered if a Water Attribute Floating Island served as their stronghold.

Absent that, the abundance of genetic species experts defied explanation.

Moments later, the envoys reemerged from the building, hauling a middle-aged man back atop rising waves.

Once on deck, the masked envoy called Wang Jian reported, "Sir, we've captured the Three Elements Building's leader, Li Hong."

The pale, trembling middle-aged man, Li Hong, dropped to his knees and declared, "Herder Li Hong pays respects to you, sir."

Liang Yuan recalled that outer-circle Water God Sect members bore the title of herders.

Those whose primary attribute topped thirty points earned full induction into the Water God Sect, gaining entry to its Holy Land.

He still lacked details on the Holy Land's whereabouts.

The burly masked man peered down at Li Hong and demanded gravely, "Word is you've uncovered a lead on Spirit Jade Island?"

Li Hong paled further, awed by the Water God Sect's vast intelligence web.

He spilled everything without delay: "Yes, sir. Roughly a week back, Spirit Jade Island folk visited the Three Elements Building, seeking trades for some captives."

"They masked their origins fiercely, but I pinpointed them as Spirit Jade Island members."

The burly man pressed instantly, "What proof sealed it?"

"The positioning rune from your last envoy visit. I slipped it onto one of the captives they claimed."

"Once the rune halted, I tracked it myself and spotted an island matching the envoy's description—a mobile chunk the size of two soccer fields drifting on the waves."

"That had to be Spirit Jade Island."

The burly masked man grilled him fiercely, "You know their spot? Where exactly?"

Thrill and eagerness laced the burly man's tone.

Li Hong blurted, "Roughly fifteen kilometers south—but that was two days past. These last two days, gearing up for your arrival, we skipped further watches."

"Fool!"

The burly masked man snarled, then ordered sharply, "Pinpoint Spirit Jade Island's position for me now."

"Uh, yes."

Li Hong bobbed his head frantically, shut his eyes, and tuned into the positioning rune's signal.

From amid the onlookers, Liang Yuan observed, shock rippling through him.

What exactly was this positioning rune wielded by the Water God Sect?
