Chapter 1319: Preparing for the Sea Beast Tide! The Little Nation of Tang Across the Ocean

~6 min read 1,068 words

"My mother noticed that divine beast long ago, but though it was powerful, it couldn't harm her. Recently, however, my mother found it had grown too fast—it was only Emperor-Rank last time, and now suddenly it's become divine!" Xiao Yu sighed helplessly. "It's as if this world senses its time is running out, accelerating the gestation of its ferocious beasts—or Beast Tamer…"

Su Yang asked curiously: "Does this world have consciousness?"

"You could say it has consciousness—a collection of various awarenesses—or you could say it has none, always in a daze, acting only through instinctual programs and rules," Xiao Yu said. "That's what my mother explained to me."

"A water-type divine beast?" Su Yang murmured. "I wonder what kind of divine beast it is."

"Your world used to be a tech world—according to my mother, a low-level tech world with no powerful species. It gradually merged into the Ferocious Beast World. When the world's rules changed, your world's consciousness was influenced by the mythological legends of the intelligent life living here!" Xiao Shan explained. "That divine beast sleeping in the ocean likely originated from your human legends. It was favored by this world, which is why it grew so fast. On Blue Planet, there may be other divine beast seeds, but none have matured—only the one sleeping in the deep sea has reached true divine rank."

"Oh!" Su Yang couldn't help saying. "Could it be one from Chinese mythology?"

"That depends!" Xiao Shan smiled. "If your Huaxia Federation is the most powerful civilization on Blue Planet, then this rapidly growing divine beast is very likely one from your Huaxia legends."

"Will it be friendly to Blue Planet's humans?"

"It should be," Xiao Shan said. "It was born from Blue Planet and naturally favors its native life. Think of it as Blue Planet's final guardian, left behind before its death to protect what remains."

"Sigh!"

Su Yang sighed heavily.

He didn't know whether this was good news or bad.

"Xiao Shan, I owe you a favor," Su Yang said. "If you ever need my help, go to the Huaxia Federation and just give my name."

"Mm."

Xiao Shan nodded solemnly.

She truly valued Su Yang's favor.

At nineteen, he'd already become an Emperor-Rank Top-Grade Beast Tamer—Su Yang's future would never stop at Emperor-Rank!

A divine-rank Beast Tamer was unquestionably a major figure.

Especially now, after this world merged with the Ferocious Beast World, his mother might still face trouble…

If her mother hadn't been in trouble back then, she never would have fled to this barren world.

Xiao Shan wanted to secure another option.

To gain one more powerful ally.

Even a future ally would be very valuable.

"After the divine beast awakens, it will keep devouring voraciously to level up. Its current power is already enough to kill all Emperor-Rank ferocious beasts!" Xiao Shan said. "Those sea beasts will surely surge onto land as before—including Emperor-Rank ferocious beasts. Since you're a General, you must prepare."

"Mm."

Su Yang took a deep breath.

Xiao Shan's intelligence was extremely vital to him.

A massive, earth-shattering battle might be coming.

This sea beast tide could far exceed previous ones, since the divine beast's threat and influence now far surpasses anything before!

When sea beasts surge onto land, it will be apocalyptic.

Remember, Blue Planet is called Blue Planet because seventy percent of it is ocean.

The number of oceanic ferocious beasts must vastly outnumber those on land!

Leaving the Mermaid clan's gathering place, Su Yang immediately notified Marshal Xu, ordering him to prepare for a massive beast tide in twelve days—and for Emperor-Rank ferocious beasts to come ashore.

"Even if Emperor-Rank sea beasts appear, we can still only rely on old tactics!" Marshal Xu sighed. "Evacuate civilians and low-rank Beast Tamers into shelters. Higher-rank Beast Tamers will hold the line, trading space for time, using terrain and land-based ferocious beasts to gradually wear down the sea beasts' numbers!"

Though the Huaxia military desperately wanted to exterminate all land-based ferocious beasts,

at this moment, they had no choice but to use their strength.

"This is probably the best approach."

Even Su Yang couldn't possibly hold back all the sea beasts.

Huaxia Federation's coastline is simply too long!

Marshal Xu said: "Fortunately, we've recently ordered all city governors to repair and reinforce the shelters…"

"Yes!"

"Mo Yunjian and the others must be recalled—they're still out at sea, and now it's even more dangerous!"

"I'll go."

Seeing Marshal Xu's solemn face, furrowed brow, and streaks of white hair, Su Yang also took on the mission to deliver messages to the Southeast Military Headquarters and the Southern Military Headquarters.

Sea beasts coming ashore will hit the Southeast, East, and South Military Headquarters first—they must be notified. Su Yang had only been to the Southeast Military Headquarters and once reached the Southern Military Headquarters's border, so he took the mission to deliver messages to both, helping lighten the Federation's burden.

They only need to send someone to the East Military Headquarters.

In truth, whether Su Yang delivered the messages or not made little difference.

All three military headquarters had long prepared for a massive sea beast tide.

Delivering the General Headquarters' intelligence merely reminded them to be extra cautious and gave them certainty.

Arriving at the Southeast Military Headquarters, meeting Qian Qian Hailong, and telling him the sea beast tide would come in twelve days, Qian Qian Hailong immediately dispatched King-Rank warriors to spread the news.

Three days later, Su Yang also notified the Southern Military Headquarters, and on the way, recalled the Federation Academy members stationed at the spatial fusion point, along with Mo Yunjian and the others.

Xiao Shan's mother demanded her clan ascend to land in ten days.

That meant, in ten days, the divine beast sleeping in the deep sea would likely begin to awaken.

Of course, this world's predictions were only approximate.

Xiao Shan's mother might, for safety, order her clan to come ashore earlier—meaning the divine beast might awaken in twenty days.

Nothing is certain!

But time is clearly running short!

During this period, Su Yang had no plans to leave again.

He could only wait.

Waiting for the sea beasts to come ashore.

Standing above the shallow sea, he gazed across the ocean.

Su Yang once again thought of the Tang Kingdom across the ocean.

This sea beast tide, that Tang Kingdom may not be able to hold out...
