Chapter 1405 - I Believe
After the thought surfaced, he suddenly felt sorry. The sea was protecting him, but he wanted to create an explosion in the sea. Would that not harm many of the underwater creatures?
To reduce the human casualties in the war, he chose to sacrifice a large number of underwater creatures. How could he make such a stupid decision?
Throughout the process of pulling Xie Xie over, he had already made the decision to cancel his original plan. Even if he could not delay the fleet’s advancement, he would not search for a point of explosion in the seabed.
At that moment, a strange sensation came up once again. It felt like a spiritual connection. It was not fast or intense. Tang Wulin only felt that it was a faint and weak spiritual shockwave.
This kind of spiritual shockwave was boundless. It came toward him from all directions in the sea. However, it was not clear as It could only convey the most basic of messages to him.
The message the sea gave him was simple. It was waiting for his orders. Whatever Tang Wulin wanted to do, it would assist him to the best of its abilities.
Tang Wulin could clearly feel that when such a boundless sea felt his Sea God’s aura, it behaved like a child who had found its parents again. It was filled with affection for him.
The more it behaved that way, the more he was unwilling to destroy the sea’s ecosystem.
Just when he was having a headache for this, a scene suddenly appeared in his head.
When Tang Wulin saw it, he was stunned at first and highly surprised. He silently sent out an inquiry with his sea of spirit.
‘Can you do it?’
What he got was an affirmative answer!
‘In that case, thank you very much,’ Tang Wulin conveyed his genuine gratitude toward the sea. This was a surprise that completely exceeded his expectations. However, his contact with the seas had also reminded him that he should not simply harm any life no matter what he did. He had nearly committed that very mistake.
A large orb faintly glowing blue flew toward him. When he saw the swiveling figure, Tang Wulin could not help but smile.
Xie Xie must have been scared out of his wits just then. Fortunately, they had assistance from the sea. Otherwise, they would have been in hot soup.
The intense swiveling sensation had finally disappeared. Xie Xie felt his body stop and stabilize.
What followed right after was a strong sensation of nausea that made him retch. Then, he saw Tang Wulin standing before him with his body wrapped in a faint bluish radiance.
Xie Xie blinked and took in his surroundings.
Naturally, he could not see the translucent sea. All he could see was an endless darkness around him.
There was a spherical radiance around him and Tang Wulin which isolated them from everything in the outside world.
Tang Wulin focused his gaze at him, “Why won’t you value your life more? Do you know what’ll happen to you if you’re caught?”
Xie Xie continued retching as he made a gesture as if asking for forgiveness. He replied with difficulty, “Big Brother, I...I know that I’ve made a mistake. I won’t be so careless next time.”
Tang Wulin said, “The Federation’s overall combat strength will be more powerful than we’ve imagined. If your opponent was the Boundless Sea Douluo just now, I reckon that you would have been captured right after he appeared. If that happened, I wouldn’t have any way to save you.”
Xie Xie only felt the fear after the fact. Then, he asked in confusion, “What is this place?”
“This is the depths of the ocean. You should stay by my side for now,” Tang Wulin replied pointedly.
Xie Xie looked at him in shock. “Big Brother, don’t you think you’re going slightly overboard with this? The depths of the ocean? How can we still speak? Also, how did you transport me here in the first place?”
Tang Wulin said with a smile, “If I told you that I’m the Sea God’s son and have earned the favor of the oceans, would you believe me?”
“I believe you,” Xie Xie replied without any hesitation. “I’ll believe whatever you say. I’m completely enthralled by you now. You can even control the sea’s power?”
He did not conceal the awe he felt in his heart. He was right! How did Tang Wulin manage that? This was too mind-boggling.
Tang Wulin said, “Alright, be quiet for a second. Stay here beside me and don’t make any rash movements. Extreme water pressure will bear down on you once you leave this light barrier. That’s not something that you can joke about. I have the Boundless Universe crystal which is an object I inherited from Shrek Academy’s Sea God Pavilion. This Boundless Universe Barrier is formed by the Boundless Universe Crystal. It can borrow the powers of the oceans to a certain extent. Stay silent and wait. I need some time to create some problems for the Federal Fleet.”
Xie Xie finally displayed an expression as if he was hit with a sudden realization, “So that’s how it is. Then there’s nothing wrong with saying that the Sea God Pavilion’s Pavilion Master is the son of the Sea God. Haha! Big Brother, you’re awesome! If we knew this earlier, we might not have needed a submarine!”
When Tang Wulin heard his eccentric train of thought, he could not help but feel speechless. “Silence.”
‘What should I do?’ Tang Wulin sent the question out from his heart.
Naturally, the seas sent him some thoughts. Tang Wulin felt them silently. Gradually, he understood the current situation and also the situation of the sea.
The ocean was the greatest of nature’s wonders, both in size and in the surface area it covered. It formed a system on its own. In truth, it was originally under the control of the plane’s lord. It was only when the Tang Sect’s founder, Tang San, inherited the Sea God’s Godhood Tablet that some changes took place.
After inheriting the Sea God’s Tablet, Tang Sam earned the ocean’s recognition naturally. Back then, he had done many things for the ocean.
In a certain sense, the lord of the plane was also a god. It was the controller of this plane and this entire planet.
The Douluo Star was different from the abyssal plane. The plane’s lord only had its own instincts, but it could not actually carry out anything substantial. When a true god descended upon this world, it could not control the god’s actions.
When Tang San became a god back then, he stayed on the Douluo Continent for quite some time. During this period, the ocean had a strong belief that he was the true lord of the seas. Hence, it started to have some reservations about the lord of the plane.
In truth, the imbalance in the continent’s ecosystem was closely related to the plane’s lord inability to control the oceans.
When the soul beasts were on the brink of extinction, the oceanic soul beasts were still plentiful. Tang San had given the order for the oceanic soul beasts to swell within the deep seas as much as possible. In addition to that, the oceanic soul beasts held on to each other. That was how they survived and thrived. Meanwhile, the humans on the surface could not get to them. This was why the oceanic soul beasts had remained largely overlooked by humanity.
The plane’s lord lost control over the ocean, hence the life force it could utilize naturally diminished considerably. Various problems started popping up in the ecosystem, affecting its delicate balance. The human race’s rapid development did not help. They consumed a huge amount of resources and it inevitably led to the current situation.
Tang Wulin had the Sea God’s aura left behind by Tang San. Hence, when he activated this aura, he was recognized by the ocean. In addition to that, he was a person who was favored by the plane. In a certain sense, he was tied to the sea, the continent, and other beings on the plane.
The Heartless Douluo never knew that the reason the plane chose Tang Wulin, even the reason why the Life Seed chose Tang Wulin, was because of his Sea God bloodline. It was normal for ordinary people to be unable to detect it. However, as the plane’s lord, there was no way that it could not sense his bloodline.
Although Tang Wulin could not control the water as his father had done, he still had some power over the forces of the seas due to the ocean’s recognition.
In other words, he was like a conductor that could guide the forces of the ocean to an extent.
If Tang San was there, he could create billowy waves which could capsize the entire Federal Fleet with just a thought.
No matter how powerful the Federal Fleet was, it could not go against an entire ocean.
However, it was clear that Tang Wulin could not manage that. This was because he did not have any godly power and he could not make the sea a part of him. He could only guide a portion of the sea.
He was like an added ingredient. He could, to a certain extent, compel the ocean into creating certain natural phenomena.
Even so, he could call himself the Sea God Child without restraint in the seas. Here, the sea’s power at his disposal was far greater than any domain unleashed by a soul master under normal circumstances. Even if the Underworld King Douluo pursued him here looking to kill him, it would have been very difficult in the sea.
After he understood his condition, Tang Wulin knew what he was supposed to do next. He had to make himself a medium to complete the task which he had discussed with the seas before this.
Flickering with bluish light, the shining orb slowly floated upward, emitting a gentle glow. Though Xie Die could only see several meters around him, Tang Wulin saw the multitude of oceanic creatures and the vast, boundless sea.
