Chapter 1688: Chapter 906: Red Sea Realm, Sea God, Mount-bearing Dragon Turtle Clan (Part 3)

“I’ve scoured the Spirit Clan’s ancient texts, yet no mention of the Sea God appears. It’s rather puzzling since the Sea Spirit Clan everywhere reveres Sea God statues. I am quite perplexed and would appreciate your elucidation, Taoist Lu.”

Lu Haichao responded with an even more genial smile. “You are too kind, Brother Zhao.”

His demeanor then shifted to profound seriousness. “Brother Zhao might be unaware, but the Sea God is the most enigmatic entity in this realm. Even if you meticulously examine every ancient text of the Human Clan, you’ll find barely a hundred words pertaining to it.

To my knowledge, the Sea God isn’t a mere figment of the Sea Spirit Clan’s imagination, but an actual being beyond comprehension.

The founder of our World Crossing Sect left a final prophecy: ‘The Sea God is not a god, the Heavenly Dao is not the heavens, the Dragon Turtle traverses the world, and our clan shall flourish eternally!’

For generations, the ancestors of our sect have devoted themselves to deciphering the founder’s pronouncement.

Our third-generation ancestor met his end during a cataclysm that occurs once every ten thousand years. Through a twist of fate, this ancestor communed with the Heavenly Dao and, before his passing, uttered a fragmented sentence: Sea God… how could it be… the heavens—”

Lu Haichao continued his eloquent explanation. “The third ancestor perished upon uttering the word ‘heavens.’ What followed remains a mystery to all.

However, based on the collective speculations of our ancestors through the ages, the word following ‘heavens’ is believed to be ‘Dao.’ Thus, the complete sentence would read: ‘How could the Sea God be the Heavenly Dao!’

Initially, our predecessors dismissed these words as absurd. But after an exhaustive review of historical scriptures, both ancient and recent…”

Lu Haichao’s expression grew exceedingly grave. He suddenly fixed his gaze upon Zhao Sheng and posed a rhetorical question: “Brother Zhao, why don’t you hazard a guess at the astonishing secret our realm’s predecessors unearthed?”

“Earlier, you implied that the legendary Sea God is intrinsically linked to this realm’s Heavenly Dao!”

“Precisely! Nevertheless, Brother Zhao need not be concerned. While the Sea God possesses near-omnipotence, akin to a Divine being, it remains aloof from the conflicts between the Human Clan and the Spirit Clan, with one exception…”

At this juncture, Lu Haichao paused ominously.

Zhao Sheng’s eyes flickered, and he instantly pressed further: “An exception?”

Lu Haichao offered a cunning smile. “Haha, I nearly forgot to ask, Brother Zhao, are you by any chance from the Upper Realm?”

Zhao Sheng’s patience began to wane upon hearing this.

Slam!

He snapped his fingers abruptly, and Lu Haichao, seated opposite him, instantly became dazed, frozen in place.

Subsequently, a glimmer of Divine Light emanated from Zhao Sheng’s forehead. His Divine Thought had permeated Lu Haichao’s Purple Mansion Soul Sea, seizing control of his Primordial Spirit.

A moment later, Zhao Sheng retracted his Divine Thought, his eyes suddenly alight with astonishment.

It turned out… the legendary Sea God was indeed, just as he had initially surmised, a super life form with which he was intimately acquainted.

When contrasted with the ‘Sea God’ of the Tianzhu Realm, the Sea God of the Red Sea Realm was undoubtedly far more advanced. It was probable that tens of thousands of years ago, this realm’s Sea God had already achieved ‘Complete Form’.

The Red Sea Realm experiences a catastrophic event every ten thousand years.

The source of this calamity originates from the ‘scarlet great sun’ in the sky, as well as from the Outer Realm Starry Sky.

Every ten millennia, the Great Sun exhibits the ‘Black Sun Halo’ phenomenon.

During this occurrence, a multitude of Mount-bearing Dragon Turtles journey back to the Red Sea Realm from the Outer Realm Starry Sky to procreate.

The Black Sun Halo phenomenon typically persists for thirty to fifty years, during which the Dragon Turtles remain within the Red Sea Realm until the halo fades.

Once all offspring have hatched, the Dragon Turtle clan departs the Red Sea Realm with their young, commencing a new migratory journey.

The Mount-bearing Dragon Turtle is a supreme life form adapted to the Outer Domain Starry Sky, recognized as a preeminent Star Beast lineage.

The primary instigator of the apocalyptic catastrophe is none other than the Dragon Turtle clan.

However, in Zhao Sheng’s assessment, the culprits extended beyond just the Dragon Turtles, encompassing that Complete Form Sea God as well.

After all, Dragon Turtles have an affinity for consuming seaweed, and the act of laying eggs itself consumes an immense quantity of Primordial Qi.

Consequently, following parturition, the Dragon Turtles engage in a voracious consumption of algae within the seawater, invariably inflicting devastating ecological damage upon this realm.

The Sea God, functioning as a collective consciousness of algae, cannot passively witness the Dragon Turtles decimate its ‘body.’

The mighty Divine, wielding the power of the Heavenly Dao, is poised to launch a fierce counterattack against the formidable Dragon Turtle clan.

Each Dragon Turtle possesses an unparalleled strength, further bolstered by the presence of the Star Sky Human Clan who reside upon their colossal carapaces, vast as continents.

Even with the Sea Spirit Clan lending their aid, the Sea God stands no chance against the overwhelming might of the Dragon Turtle clan.

This has been the immutable truth for ages untold!

Through epochs beyond measure, the Dragon Turtles have risen and fallen countless times, yet they endure, thriving to this very day.

For the Human Clan inhabiting this realm, the impending apocalyptic catastrophe represents both a grave disaster and a momentous, once-in-ten-thousand-years opportunity.

True Monarchs in the Divinity Transformation stage can seize this very chance to ascend to the continents nestled upon the Dragon Turtle's back, with the ultimate aim of ascending to another realm.

Human Clan Cultivators who have not yet reached Divinity Transformation can still seek out the Star Sky Human Clan, forging valuable trade relations with them.

As the Star Sky Human Clan navigates the vast Star River atop these titanic Dragon Turtles, journeying past myriad spiritual worlds, they naturally amass countless unimaginable Treasures and rare Heaven and Earth Strange Objects.

Zhao Sheng also observed that following each apocalyptic catastrophe, a certain number of Star Sky Human Clansmen, for a variety of reasons, would choose to remain within the Red Sea Realm, subsequently becoming the progenitors of the new generation of the Red Sea Human Clan.

Over the passage of countless years, the Human Clan of the Red Sea Realm has faced extinction time and time again, only to be reborn from the ashes each subsequent era, ultimately giving rise to the Red Sea Realm's unique and extraordinary phenomenon of 'Human Clan Restart'.

This exceptionally rare occurrence within the heavens immediately ignited Zhao Sheng's profound curiosity.

He found himself keenly interested in the Sea God, the mysterious Dragon Turtles, and indeed, the entire Star Sky Human Clan, developing a burgeoning desire to delve deeper and explore these wonders.

By simple calculation, the cataclysmic event, occurring but once in ten millennia, was drawing ever closer.

Reflecting on this, it was no longer surprising that the Sea Spirit Clan had dispatched an envoy to Fuping Continent; they were clearly making preparations to welcome the arrival of the apocalyptic catastrophe.

This celestial anomaly, so rarely witnessed, had unequivocally captured Zhao Sheng's keen attention.

He became intensely curious about the Sea God, the colossal Dragon Turtles, and the enigmatic Star Sky Human Clan, his mind alight with nascent thoughts of exploration.

A quick estimation revealed that the apocalyptic event, happening only once every ten thousand years, was now perilously close.
