Chapter 1225

Even Lin Yan couldn't find them.

Because they didn't know where they were, and received not a single "signal" from them.

"Tsk tsk tsk, someone got there first—my lord was truly wise; there really was a god who sold information to the Flame Lord, and all these holy spirits of the Flame Lord have come here."

At that moment, suddenly, a voice sounded.

Little elf Gashia looked up and saw a colossal sea monster churning the seawater; on its body radiated a terrifying aura!

A god!

This sea monster was no ordinary sea monster.

It was a god!

But one transformed from a sea monster!

And its power was not weak—at least Second Tier!

This was a Second Tier god!

Ocean gods are like this—strange and varied, rivaling the Abyssal Demon Gods.

Little elf Gashia tucked away the hundred-thousand-year Sea Heart Grass and said to the other little elves: "Prepare to retreat."

"Retreat? You came all this way—now you want to run?"

The sea monster god snorted.

Little elf Gashia's expression didn't change. "Are you planning to start a war?"

The sea monster god said: "Hmph, gods of the Heavenly Realm fear the Flame Lord, but the Great Lord of the Seven Seas fears nothing. The greatness and power of the Lord of the Seven Seas cannot be compared to ten thousand Flame Lords."

Little elf Gashia's heart stirred slightly. "The Flame Lord's name echoes throughout the Heavenly Realm—even ocean gods tremble at the sound. But this 'Lord of the Seven Seas' you speak of—many heavenly gods have never even heard of him. How can he be great?"

The sea monster god, stung by Gashia's words, rumbled:

"Let me tell you—the Lord of the Seven Seas is the foremost among all ocean gods, second only to the Ocean Goddess. All oceans of the Heavenly Realm are under his command. The Great Lord of the Seven Seas is a divine being nearing the power of a Primordial God—he is the strongest beneath the Primordial Gods, and even the Ancient Gods dare not provoke him!"

Little elf Gashia said: "The Lord of the Seven Seas rules the oceans, with no conflict with my lord. Why then are you deliberately tormenting my lord?"

The sea monster god snorted: "Trying to extract information from me? Your little brain isn't even a ten-thousandth as sharp as the mighty Doru Sea God. I won't tell you anything. You only need to know: the Flame Lord will never obtain Sea Heart Grass from the ocean! Hand over that Sea Heart Grass, and I'll let you go!"

This sea monster god looked foolish, but to have become a god, he was certainly no fool.

Little elf Gashia pulled out her wand—no thicker than a matchstick—and stared straight at the sea monster god.

"What if I don't hand it over?"

The sea monster god said: "Then don't blame me for being uncivilized. Though you are holy spirits of the Flame Lord, this is the Deep Sea Abyss—no pathways can be opened here.

Don't worry—I won't kill you. Kill you, and the Flame Lord could still revive you and learn the truth. I only need to trap you here forever—lock you inside a stone, so you can never escape, and the Flame Lord will never find you. Hahaha, isn't that clever, Great Doru?"

The sea monster god laughed loudly.

Little elf Gashia's face darkened.

"Lady Gashia, what do we do?"

Behind her, one little elf said.

They had finally found one Sea Heart Grass—only for a god sent by the Lord of the Seven Seas to try to seize it. And here, the Faith Channel was sealed—they couldn't seek help from the Flame Lord.

If the Faith Channel could open, this Second Tier sea monster god wouldn't need the Flame Lord to act—Goddess Vivela could crush him with a single finger.

"One last chance: hand it over now, and I'll let you leave. Otherwise, you'll be imprisoned here forever—no one will know you're here, and even if they did, they couldn't find you. Choose quickly—my patience is running out."

The sea monster god finished speaking, opened its massive mouth, and roared.

Its roar was terrifying—under its bellow, the seawater surged into a colossal shockwave, hurling the little elves like dry leaves in a storm, unable to stand firm.

Little elf Gashia said: "Fine, I'll give it to you."

"Now that's sensible. Hand it over—don't try any tricks."

The sea monster god bellowed like thunder.

Little elf Gashia pulled out a Sea Heart Grass and flicked it toward him.

The sea monster god said: "Hmph, trying to trick me? This is only a few-thousand-year Sea Heart Grass."

"Divine Judgment!"

Little elf Gashia suddenly launched an attack without another word.

The sea monster god roared: "A mere holy spirit dares attack me? You seek death!"

In mere moments, the sea monster god transformed like a volcano erupting—its eyes turned red!

In emotional volatility, they rival the Abyssal Demon Gods.

It swung its claw and shattered Gashia's Divine Judgment in one strike.

But as soon as it shattered it, its expression changed.

Within Gashia's Divine Judgment, the sea monster god sensed a terrifying aura!

"You, a holy spirit, possess Fourth Tier divine power—but you cannot wield it!!"

The sea monster god roared, unleashing all its strength to resist.

"Now."

Ten little elves suddenly surged forward, channeling their energy simultaneously toward the sea monster god.

"Your attacks aren't even enough to fill my teeth!"

The sea monster god showed no fear.

As a Second Tier god, and one transformed from a sea monster, its divine body was as formidable as an Abyssal Demon God's.

The attacks of these holy spirits couldn't even pierce its skin.

And it had to devote all its strength to resisting that single drop of Fourth Tier divine power.

That drop of Fourth Tier divine power—Little elf Gashia truly could not wield it.

Unable to wield it, she could only hurl it away—its power greatly diminished. Even a Second Tier god, giving his all, could break free.

Immediately after, the ten fairies' attacks struck the sea monster deity, who was resisting the fourth-tier divine power.

The sea monster deity ignored their attacks—of course, it had no spare power left to resist them, and could only endure the blows.

Then…

Its massive body was shoved away from its original position by the fairies' attacks.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a vortex appeared and swallowed the sea monster deity whole.

"Aaaah! How could there be a vortex here? No, no…"

The sea monster deity screamed, but because it had to resist that unguided drop of fourth-tier divine power, it could not fight the vortex—and was instantly swallowed by it.

"Quick, go!"

The ten fairies swiftly flew upward.

Not long after, they exited the red zone.

The fairy Gassia began praying immediately.

Then, the channel of faith opened; Viviela expended some divine power to summon all the fairies back to the Divine Realm.

"Zunzhu, we have not failed you—we found the hundred-thousand-year Sea Heart Grass. But we encountered…"

Fairy Gassia reported everything she had just experienced to Lin Yan.

Then, she expended more energy to reconstruct the scene as it had occurred.

"Zunzhu, the sea monster deity is likely not dead—it probably reached the Continent of Gods. That means the Lord of the Seven Seas likely knows of this incident."

Viviela said.

After reaching the Continent of Gods, the sea monster deity would surely feel despair, for he was only a second-tier deity—and on the Continent of Gods, he was no better than Tang monk meat.

But the Lord of the Seven Seas would certainly have learned of what just happened, for on the Continent of Gods, the threads of faith cannot be blocked.

"Lord of the Seven Seas…"

Lin Yan had never heard of this so-called Lord of the Seven Seas.

"Gassia, you all rest now. You've worked hard—later, I'll improve your Holy Bodies so you can stand against deities."

Lin Yan said to Fairy Gassia.

Fairy Gassia shook her head repeatedly: "Just being able to help Zunzhu makes Gassia happy—we don't need you to expend your power."

Viviela said: "Gassia, improving your Holy Bodies won't cost Zunzhu much power. Go rest now. Don't worry about the Lord of the Seven Seas—you did excellently. Even if you'd killed that sea monster deity, Zunzhu wouldn't blame you."

Viviela understood Fairy Gassia well.

She knew Gassia feared that her actions might draw war upon Zunzhu.

But Gassia was not Viviela—she naturally did not know that Lin Yan now actually welcomed the arrival of powerful hidden deities seeking him out.

As long as it wasn't a Supreme Deity, the stronger the enemy, the better!
