Chapter 574: Chapter 291: Giant Statue’s Severed Limb (Part 2)

"Why..." The Sea God had a hint of reminiscence in His eyes, shaking His head: "I don’t remember, this is just a sliver of power left in advance, without much memory."

Baiyi: "But just like here, there is prophecy, isn’t there?"

"Who believes it? The God of Destiny wielded myriad fates, yet even He is dead, isn’t He?" He said, the tone shifting: "Moreover, at that time... no god believed they wouldn’t return, they were simply isolated by Xia, where in the heavens can gods not reach?"

Baiyi was silent; indeed, are the New Gods truly dead now?

No, they just got trapped in the space-time turbulence, the New Gods, who could suppress Ancient Gods, Evil Gods, and various planes, should have absolute confidence in their prowess, right?

How could such gods foresee that the world’s rejection force would be so strong during battle?

According to records, Netherworld, Abyss, and Hell once attempted to take advantage of the divine war to invade Xia, but they all were smashed and thrown out.

Indeed, gods would not consider what would happen if they were excluded by Xia.

In the eyes of gods, civilizations can be rebuilt if lost, worlds can be repaired if broken, and the opportunity for great ascension is most crucial.

With Destiny’s death, the path to greatness lay before the gods.

Destiny represented the great complete rule, gods also emerged from mankind, they are not devoid of desire, just that their desires are more lofty.

To humans, gods are perfect, but to themselves, they are merely more powerful practitioners.

"Has Your Grace heard of the Saint?"

"No."

"Hmm."

Within a simple question and answer, the scenery of the illusion realm continuously changed, a colossal right hand appeared at a distance.

Baiyi looked at the right hand with some shock, unconsciously drawn to it.

Silver skin, metallic sheen gliding on the surface, seamless connections, the break uneven yet mirror-like in material.

Baiyi instinctively quickened his pace, the arm went from shoulder to fingers, seemingly forcibly torn off.

This arm was about 150 meters long, its structure no different from a human’s hand, except at the joints were sharp protrusions, with some at the elbows reflecting metallic gleams.

According to human proportions, the complete stature of this Giant Statue would reach 400 meters.

Baiyi walked around to the broken end of the arm, closely observing the Giant Statue’s remains.

Hiss~

He inwardly gasped, no pores...

Or rather, there were veins and nerves, yet impenetrable, their density surpassing Baiyi’s imagination.

Zero continuously magnified Baiyi’s view, spiritual power probing, attempting to uncover a microscopic understanding.

But...

Even with a thousandfold magnification, Baiyi still couldn’t find connections between the veins and vessels, as if it were all a cohesive whole.

He quickened his steps, like a child finding his favorite toy, constantly observing the right arm.

Attempting to comprehend some of the Giant Statue knowledge he had once seen.

But...

Apart from awe and shock, Baiyi found nothing. Even if told of its manufacturing method and materials, he was still stunned by how this thing came to be.

He carefully reached to touch the Giant Statue’s remains, this thing must be heavy, right?

Based on the arm’s size and density, it should exceed 300,000 tons.

Baiyi touched the Giant Statue’s arm, its surface smooth, cool, and similar in temperature to the ambient air.

Pushed hard, it didn’t budge.

Baiyi’s eyes showed a hint of excitement, seemingly with a scarlet gleam.

The Light Side couldn’t move it, but maybe the Dark Side could...

"Baiyi." The Sea God spoke with a smile: "I can tell you like it a lot. Do something for me, and it’s yours—plus, you’ll gain unexpected benefits."

"How can you be sure that an Alchemist would come this time and be interested in the Giant Statue?" Baiyi showed some curiosity.

"I’m not sure." The Sea God shook His head: "But the Giant Statue represents a power capable of confronting gods, I think no one would give up on this power. And... if you help me complete the task, the rewards you gain won’t be less valuable than the remains of the Giant Statue."

Baiyi lowered his head in thought: "Alright."

The Sea God showed a slight smile: "Help me release the Titan, it’s His mission.... As for Sea Sirens... leave it to fate..."

As He spoke, the Sea God’s body kept flickering, turning into bits of blue stars flying towards Baiyi.

Meanwhile, the panel task was triggered.

[Hidden task triggered.]

[Task: Sea Race Revival.

Attribute: Hidden Task.

Task Description: Long ago, at the demise of the god, a prophecy was made about the future calamity and rise of the seas, leaving rewards for the Child of Destiny.

Please awaken the Divine Guard, the Deep Sea Titan, to grant the ocean the means to rival the Netherworld.

Task Reward: Illusory Treasure ×1, Special Skill Points ×1, Skill Points ×10, Charm Value +10.

Accepting the task grants: Sea God Boost ×1, Secret Stash Guidance ×1.

Failure Penalty: Charm Value -10, sea creature favorability inherently turns to disgust.

Introduction: The divided Sea Race after a millennium seems to have a chance of unifying, perhaps Xia’s fourth great power is about to form, but only with the appearance of that Divine Guard.

Will you accept the task?]

Gazing at the rewards, Baiyi pondered for a moment, raised his hand, and the power of the Demon Realm descended abruptly, enclosing the Giant Statue’s disembodied hand before him.

Accept.

Buzz~

Baiyi suddenly felt an emptiness in his mind, a slight sound of waves echoed beside his ears, and Baiyi’s soul reached an extreme relaxation, as though washed clean throughout.

It was a complete relaxation, inducing a sense of unparalleled comfort.

After an unknown length of time, the panel’s notification sounded.

[You have awakened the specialty: Deep Sea Guardian.]

[Deep Sea Guardian: Cleanse the soul, immune to 5% negative soul effects, if your soul’s negative states accumulate, all negative states can be cleared.

Cooling Time: 30 natural days.]

Baiyi’s eyes shone, this.... an exclusive specialty!

The Dark Side could directly stack attributes into Tier Eight Legendary.

Counting the Holy Soul, a total of 85% negative immunity, with dark-side erosion negligible, as long as it’s not too excessive, the dark side’s combat power was enough to protect his growth in these chaotic times.

Baiyi felt inexplicably delighted, this wave yielded quite a harvest.

Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~

Within the Demon Realm dimension, a faint vibration sounded.

Baiyi paused, instinctively looked southward, then shook his head, a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Moon Side... what a pity.

He couldn’t go to Sin City immediately....

The matters here are more important, regarding Moon Side... only after these matters are resolved can he address it.

However, Sin City... it’s about time to deal with it.

Exiting the Sea God Illusion Realm.

Baiyi’s eyes glinted with scarlet as his heart suddenly sank: "How is Diane doing? Why can’t I sense the Mythical Giant Dragon’s aura?"

"Whew~ my friend, you’re finally out. Half an hour ago, I sent your wife and that robot into the spatial rift; in another half hour they should return."

"My task is complete, quickly let the Sea Race revive, I can’t wait any longer."

Sabo’s sharp voice sounded in his mind, along with images displaying Diane’s entire battle process.

The unease in Baiyi’s heart gradually faded; he had always trusted Sabo’s abilities. Saying half an hour meant there was indeed half an hour more.

Let’s settle this quickly!

"How is that demigod’s injury?"

"Seventy percent recovered, anyway, he’s not something ordinary legends can contend with."

"Where is He?"

"Still in place, your wife gave many quite a shock, her priority with the Netherworld seemingly surpasses yours, hehe, though I’m not surprised, after all, she is a true Necromancer, one of the strongest professions."

"Hmm, I understand."

Baiyi gazed towards the direction of the Mermaid Capital, the guidance of the secret stash was also in that direction.

Sighing deeply, Baiyi’s eyes filled with scarlet, he took a step, and vanished.
