Chapter 1857: The Secret a.s.sist
“You still want to continue?” The woman was taken aback upon hearing this. “An Lin’s power level is already at the most powerful among normal Heavenly G.o.ds.”
“It’s still not enough… I want to nurture him into a being that can threaten even paramount Heavenly G.o.ds…” the human face in the sky replied slowly.
“Have you gone insane?!” The woman glowered at the human face in the sky. “That’s far too risky! I won’t agree to this!”
That human face was none other than one of the six paramount Heavenly G.o.ds, the Heavenly Heaven G.o.d.
The extraordinarily beautiful woman with green hair was the Heavenly Life G.o.ddess.
“Don’t worry; my divination tells me that even if An Lin becomes a match for one of the paramount Heavenly G.o.ds, the human race will still become extinct in the near future. They won’t be able to stand up against the combined power of the three paramount Heavenly G.o.ds.” The Heavenly Heaven G.o.d’s expression remained indifferent.
“Your Heavenly Divination Technique is perfectly accurate, but that only applies to events taking place under the Heavenly Dao. You can’t take into account things that transcend beyond the Heavenly Dao.” The Heavenly Life G.o.ddess was still quite hesitant.
“It’s alright, even if things develop out of control, we still have that final technique. Do you think anyone can vanquish our final trump card?” the Heavenly Heaven G.o.d insisted.
The Heavenly Life G.o.ddess fell silent.
“Think about it. If Light, Sea, and Earth all survive even after the human race has been annihilated, our plan to destroy all living beings in the world won’t be able to progress smoothly. We need two of them to perish…” the Heavenly Heaven G.o.d urged in a meaningful and heartfelt manner.
Another long silence followed.
Tree leaves rustled in the wind.
A few ethereal cries sounded from the branches up above.
The Heavenly Life G.o.ddess stared into the horizon with her dreamy, orange eyes, which were as dazzling as the setting sun yet as bright as stars, giving the onlooker a sense of entrancement.
“Sigh…” A resigned sigh finally escaped her lips.
“What do you need me to do?” the Heavenly Life G.o.ddess asked.
The Heavenly Heaven G.o.d replied, “An Lin is able to absorb the powers of the Heavenly G.o.ds, right? Then let’s give him what he wants… Metal, wood, water, fire, earth. I can already sense that he has collected metal, water, fire, and earth, so all he’s missing is wood. Give him a wood-type Heavenly G.o.d.”
The Heavenly Life G.o.ddess: “…”
“By the way, make sure it’s not too obvious. Don’t let him realize that we’re giving him free presents,” the Heavenly Heaven G.o.d added.
The Heavenly Life G.o.ddess ma.s.saged her brows with an exhausted, exasperated expression, but she still nodded.
In the West Sea Alliance.
The Immortal Land Above Water had been moved to the border of the West Sea.
The sudden appearance of such a colossus on the border of the continent alerted many coastal-dwelling living beings.
There was a ma.s.sive pillar of water supporting a gargantuan continent. This was a unique sight even on the boundless Tai Chu Continent.
An Lin sat on a lounge chair and sunbathed as he sampled Lan Xiaoni’s cooking with relish.
“Big Boss An Lin, what do you think?” Lan Xiaoni was a little uneasy.
“This sas.h.i.+mi is very smooth and delicious, and it has retained its moisture and freshness. Furthermore, all impurities have been removed, so it could be said that this dish is flawless. The addition of the Water Emperor Sauce as a condiment is a masterstroke. It’s very delicious!
“I didn’t think your cooking skills would be this good, Underling Lan,” An Lin sampled the sas.h.i.+mi as he praised with a smile.
A vibrant smile appeared on Lan Xiaoni’s face, and her heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment. “If you like it, I can make it for you every day.”
“That would be great!” An Lin was elated.
This was the most delicious seafood he had ever had.
The texture, the taste, and even the presentation were all exemplary.
Lan Xiaoni supported her chin in her hand before delivering a slice of translucent sas.h.i.+mi into her mouth using a pair of chopsticks.
“Hmm… It’s so delicious!” Her eyes narrowed with enjoyment.
For some reason, she felt like it tasted even better than normal.
The two of them sampled the seafood, and before they knew it, a day had pa.s.sed.
The next day.
An Lin was back to full health.
“Big Boss An Lin, I want to investigate the hole in the West Sea with you,” Lan Xiaoni insisted with a firm expression.
An Lin’s brows furrowed slightly. “It’s very dangerous there…”
Lan Xiaoni showed An Lin the divine symbol on the back of her hand with a smile on her face. “Don’t forget that I am the paramount master of water, which makes me even more powerful than the average Heavenly G.o.d. I won’t weigh you down.
“Furthermore, I am the leader of the West Sea Alliance. I have a responsibility to eradicate all things that may be of detriment to the West Sea.” Lan Xiaoni refused to yield.
An Lin thought about it for a moment and decided that there really weren’t that many enemies who could threaten Lan Xiaoni, so he decided to let her come along.
“Alright, but you have to promise me that if we encounter any substantial danger, you have to run away,” An Lin urged.
“Alright, I promise.” Lan Xiaoni nodded with a smile.
Thus, the two of them traveled toward the hole in the depths of the West Sea.
Along the way, Lan Xiaoni hurled a series of large bubbles into the sky.
According to her, these bubbles acted as surveillance devices to scout for enemies, and each bubble could survey an area with a radius of over five thousand kilometers.
Of course, these bubbles could only survey the Heavenly Human Tribe United Army. The mysterious and powerful Heavenly G.o.ds had countless ways to avoid detection from these bubbles, which was why Lan Xiaoni was caught off guard and forced into a three-on-one battle in the first place.
After flying for a while, the two of them finally saw the hole in the sea.
From a distance, it looked as if there was a piece missing from the boundless, blue ocean.
A peculiar forcefield enshrouded the surroundings and managed to disrupt even An Lin’s divine sense. The forcefield was very chaotic, and upon approaching the hole, it gave one a perpetual sinking sensation… They would sink relentlessly into depravity, and in the end, even their consciousness would descend into nothingness, and they would fall into an eternal slumber.
It could be said that living beings below Return to Void Stage wouldn’t even be able to remain conscious here.
“We deployed five teams to investigate the hole, and the last team even included a Return to Void Stage mighty figure who had attained the power of the divine dao, but all of them disappeared with no exception…” Lan Xiaoni’s expression was quite grave.
An Lin nodded. “Let’s see what lies within this hole. Take care and follow me.”
A faint smile appeared on Lan Xiaoni’s face as she looked at An Lin’s reliable back. “Alright, Big Boss An Lin.”
A forcefield of this caliber was not enough to affect An Lin and Lan Xiaoni.
The two of them arrived at the center of the ma.s.sive, bottomless hole. This was a pitch-black hole with a radius of close to five hundred kilometers, and an incessant, loud rumbling could be heard from seawater cras.h.i.+ng down into the hole. It was very spectacular, but it was also quite terrifying. It was as if all of the seawater in the entire West Sea would not be able to fill this hole.
They began to slowly descend and explore this hole.
