Hastar unleashed a curse from the Ten Thousand Eyes Book, compelling octopus demons to gouge out their eyes and extract Spiritual Power Gems from their bodies before sinking to the ocean floor. Terrified sea urchin demons submitted silently as the group discussed pursuing the ocean's divine position. Pan Hai revealed his created Treasure Hunting Dolphin, now captive to a Tier Nine Deep Sea Demon hoarding divine fragments, prompting Ye Bai to plan a stealthy infiltration of its lair to seize both the dolphin and treasures.

Hmph, talking so gravely yet uttering rubbish—do you think I’m a pushover?

The Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly pursed her lips, feeling deeply wronged.

"Fine, fine, I’ve tried it myself. The poisons within this sea urchin meat barely harm you. Go on and keep devouring it."

"First, let’s scout those demons and uncover their actual schemes."

"But I lack any demonic Illusion Beasts right now; infiltrating won’t be straightforward."

Ye Bai was directing his words toward Pan Hai and Hastar.

After all, as surface gods, they’ve surely experienced far more than me.

"Truthfully, no reliable approach exists."

"We both suffer from insufficient Divine Power; disguising as demons is impossible for us."

"I propose we strike right at the core, charge straight into the Demon’s Nest, seize their treasures, and claim the Divine Format."

"That’ll let us seize control at once and slaughter these demons on the spot."

Pan Hai pondered briefly before offering his idea.

Suddenly, a thought struck Ye Bai: "Pan Hai, should you obtain the ocean Divine Position, by how much would your strength grow?"

Pan Hai bowed his head in reflection: "Not by much, really. With only one hand remaining, I can bear just a single Divine Format."

"Furthermore, I must forge this Divine Format using ocean creatures to prevent my own collapse."

Ye Bai followed up promptly: "That brings me to my question."

"I wonder, could another person wield this Divine Position?"

"What about Hastar?"

Pan Hai shook his head firmly: "Nobody can wield it; Hastar, being an outer god born from rules, would shatter the Divine Position into fragments upon contact, scattering them widely and making recovery a nightmare."

"Yet, I can reveal this: I’m able to briefly ignite the ocean Divine Position, pinpoint my Divine Country, and carve open a pathway for you."

"Grasp my ocean Divine Position and step into the Divine Country; once you conquer the trials I prepared, the Sea God Trident will be yours."

"The Sea God Trident’s Artifact Spirit can bear the Divine Position."

"Thus, securing the Sea God Trident means we can force this world’s consciousness into eternal sleep."

"Armed with the Sea God Trident and Divine Format, you’ll tear open a spatial rift back to your home world."

"For now, though, we must slip into the Demon’s Nest and devise a way to snatch the Divine Format."

Pan Hai’s advice spared Ye Bai countless wrong turns.

"Phew, in that case, onward to the Demon’s Nest we go."

"Hastar, from probing that octopus demon’s memories, you must know the Demon’s Nest location, correct?"

"Guide us there, and we’ll use the Heaven-Swallowing Pelican for a stealthy entry."

Hastar voiced a concern just then: "Won’t the Heaven-Swallowing Pelican stand out too much?"

"Demons skilled in Spatial Transfer lurk within."

"Once the Heaven-Swallowing Pelican approaches, won’t they sense it immediately?"

Ye Bai dismissed it with a shake of his head: "No, you’re worrying needlessly. Ordinary demons can’t pierce the Heaven-Swallowing Pelican’s Space Control prowess."

"Plus, we’ll dive in during the uproar, remember?"

"You and Pan Hai need to stir up chaos, clearing our path into the Demon’s Nest."

Emmm, so they intend to dangle us as lures.

"On top of that, any god-usable items we uncover this time get shared based on need, sound good?"

"Deal!" The two gods chorused together.

God-usable items naturally hold traces of Divine Power.

With their Divine Powers nearly depleted, they eagerly sought sources to plunder.

"Time to split and execute the plan."

"We strike fast and hard—can’t allow these demons to leak word of my defeat, or it’ll draw hordes of powers to this plane."

Ye Bai dreaded how smacking the young would summon the elders.

Demons thrived on the law of the jungle, bound by ancient customs across eras.

A massive Deep Sea Demon gazed down at its minions, propping its chin thoughtfully.

A battered Treasure Hunting Dolphin, shackled in unyielding Refined Gold chains, writhed helplessly.

Though the chains seared with agony, the Treasure Hunting Dolphin broke free through sheer will.

Drenched in blood, it rocketed forth like a torpedo in blind fury.

"Let’s see how far you flee; my curse ensures you won’t escape far."

The Deep Sea Demon cackled wickedly.

For years in this deep-sea plane, it craved mere entertainment.

The Treasure Hunting Dolphin surged onward, only to slam into a yawning Space Passage.

The Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly shrieked as she smashed against a reef.

The impact rendered the Treasure Hunting Dolphin senseless.

Upon spotting the injured Treasure Hunting Dolphin, Ye Bai swiftly summoned the Sunflower Fairy: "Sunflower Fairy, use Celestial Dew to cleanse the blood from the Treasure Hunting Dolphin in front of us!"

From its palm, the Sunflower Fairy released a generous quantity of Celestial Dew.

As the Treasure Hunting Dolphin immersed itself in the Celestial Dew, all its pain vanished in an instant.

Moreover, it watched its wounds heal visibly before its eyes.

Right as the Treasure Hunting Dolphin prepared to voice its gratitude, a voice thick with emotion echoed into its ears.
