Chapter 3301

Inside the sleeping quarters, Black Horn Luo Er lay on the half-collapsed bed. Not far from him was Qian Ying, who was somewhat shadow-like, with black smoke drifting all over his body, lying there dying.

Luo Er and Qian Ying were both the Sea God's former confidants. As combat-type subordinates, the Sea God left behind means to control them.

Among them, Luo Er, after joining Conrad's side, Conrad helped him remove the 'Drowning Soul Seal' in his body at a great cost. However, the Sea God left a hand; besides the fast-acting 'Drowning Soul Seal', there was also the 'Living Soul Seal' that would explode with a delay in Luo Er's body.

Luo Er died, and Qian Ying nearby had been lurking on the Sea God all along. Neither the 'Drowning Soul Seal' nor the 'Living Soul Seal' had a chance to be removed. Even so, he still chose to stand on Conrad's side.

"Fu, are you okay?"

Conrad knelt on one knee beside Qian Ying, grabbing one of Qian Ying's translucent hands, which had black smoke swirling inside.

"Conrad, we... succeeded..."

Qian Ying smiled. He met Conrad when he was 12. At that time, he had a fight with 16-year-old Conrad, beat Conrad up, and even threw the other party's shoes into the river.

In the blink of an eye, 14 years passed. Among the comrades who decided to overthrow divine power together, only he and Conrad were still alive.

"Yes, we succeeded. But, we failed to overthrow divine power."

Conrad looked down at Qian Ying, sea-blue light emerging in his eyes, as vast and mysterious as the ocean.

"In the end, we also became the evil dragons that people fear. Qian Ying, we were too naive back then, thinking that heroes could slaughter evil dragons. How could heroes be the opponents of evil dragons? Only evil dragons can kill other evil dragons."

Conrad smiled with some helplessness and continued:

"I don't seem to hate my father so much anymore. After obtaining this power, the desire for the Supreme Holy in my heart is hard to suppress. He actually persisted for so long before pursuing becoming a Holy God. I will do my best to suppress the instincts in my heart."

Conrad's words made the dying Qian Ying's eyes widen. As if he had thought of something, he grabbed Conrad's collar, propped up his upper body with his last strength, and said:

"Promise me... Conrad, never... let your descendants be cut off. You must have a long-lived God Child, you must!"

After saying this, Qian Ying lost his breath, and the back of his head hit the ground. After hearing his words, Conrad's lips trembled.

Looking at the main city, even though there were many resistance forces, the only ones who could truly contend with the Sea God were the God Children born into the circle of power.

Logically speaking, the Sea God was single-mindedly moving towards a higher level, that is, becoming a Holy God. In this situation, the Sea God's humanity would gradually separate. Why, in this situation, did the Sea God not exterminate the descendants who might threaten him?

If the Sea God had done this many years ago, Conrad, Sophia, and others would have died in childhood, and today's events wouldn't have happened.

In fact, many years ago, the Sea God was just like today, defeating his father and seizing the position of Sea God.

Today, this scene repeated itself, just with a different batch of people. The moment the Sea God died, the source divine energy in the Sea God's body was transferred to Conrad's body in a short time. He only needed to continue absorbing faith power, and after a few years, he would reach the Sea God's strength.

By then, he would also be affected. A will was mixed into the source divine energy he inherited, causing him to crave becoming a Holy God.

After reaching a certain level, Conrad would feel the threat from his descendants. There was a restrictive will power that prevented him from exterminating his descendants, allowing him only to kill those descendants who were enough to threaten him. If this rule were violated, that will would perish with him, and along with it, the entire main city would collapse.

And the masters of that will were the creators of the main city.

How similar this scene was. When Conrad was affected by the Sea God's energy to a certain extent, he would begin to slaughter his descendants. That irresistible subconsciousness would make him ensure his bloodline was not cut off, marrying one healthy, fertile woman after another.

Years later, Conrad would completely become the Sea God. One of his outstanding descendants would carry his repeated persecution, transform from a cocoon into a butterfly, just like him today, leading a group of confidants and partners to sneak into the Sea God Palace to surround and kill him.

After figuring this out, Conrad's expression was a bit distorted, but soon, he calmed down. For a period of time, he was still Conrad and would not have his thinking assimilated by the divine energy in his body. This period of time was his opportunity to make the main city stable again.

"Bai Ye, this is the treasury key. There were originally two, but the other one wasn't found. Rest assured, I have no interest in wealth or resources now. After finding the other key, I will send someone to give it to you."

Conrad threw a key over. Su Xiao had just caught it when a notification appeared.

【You have obtained the key to Treasury No. 2.】

This was the only harvest from killing the Sea God. Just now, Su Xiao killed the Sea God with one blade. Besides the kill notification, he didn't get any kill rewards, not even 0.01% of the World Source.

Su Xiao looked at the notification that had just appeared. The content was:

【You have killed Atlantis.】

It was such a simple kill notification. Normally, the kill notification should be: killed Sea God, Os Atlantis.

The notification that appeared now had neither the Sea God title nor the surname Os. This represented two things.

1. The Sea God in the true sense was not so weak and was not dead yet.

2. Atlantis was the real name. The surname Os was added later. This surname did not belong to Atlantis, nor to Conrad. This surname belonged to the royal descendants of dynasties like Brother Donkey and the Blazing Sun Monarch.

These clues added together were particularly interesting. First, it could be determined that the Undersea Main City was built by the Os clan to avoid extinction. After it was built, it was unknown which link went wrong, and it was occupied by the ancestors of Atlantis and Conrad. They not only forcibly occupied the main city but also misappropriated the surname Os.

After inferring this information, coupled with an existing key clue, many things could be known. This clue was that after Sea God Atlantis died, Conrad inherited the Sea God's power.

This seemed to be a power inheritance, but it was actually a disaster. Making a bold assumption, when the ancestors of Atlantis and Conrad—that is, the clan that stole the surname—occupied the nest, the Os clan would inevitably retaliate.

This was no longer a hatred like killing a father or seizing a wife, but a more hateful act of picking peaches.

Such hatred could never be calmed by killing a few people. The royal descendants used the most vicious method. They mastered the Sea Curse at that time and used it to give the clan that stole the surname the maximum degree of endowment—endowing them with the Sea Curse.

At first, the clan that stole the surname was extremely painful because it was not only a curse but also an infusion of consciousness. The consciousness of the royal descendants gathered in the curse, affecting the thinking of the clan leader who stole the surname, leading to fathers killing sons and sons killing fathers, thus constantly alternating.

In this world, the mutual slaughter of close relatives was a great misfortune. The mutual slaughter of close relatives passed down from generation to generation was a terrifying disaster.

This situation lasted for a long time. Finally, one day, a person in power in the clan that stole the surname thought of resolving the Sea Curse + royal descendant consciousness collection that entangled their clan through the power of gods. Therefore, they founded the Sea God Palace, ruling with divine power while collecting faith power to create gods.

As for creating gods, they had to thank the Sun God Sect. The clan that stole the surname knew of the existence of the Sun God Sect and also knew of the Sun Bird Taihakak. It was for this reason that the idea of creating gods was born.

From the current situation, the clan that stole the surname seemed to have succeeded. The Sea God was the god they created, but what was the Sea God?

The Sea God was: Sea Curse + royal descendant consciousness collection + divine source + public resentment + faith power + huge ocean energy.

These gathered together were the Sea God. The Sea God was not a divine creature; it was a pure energy-based god without wisdom. It would only reside in the members of the clan that stole the surname, gradually assimilating and affecting the person it resided in.

Past Sea Gods all pursued becoming a Holy God. People's first impression was that the Holy God was an evolved version of the Sea God, more powerful. In fact, this was not the case. After becoming a Holy God, the host resided in by the Sea God would have their humanity evaporated, body disintegrated, consciousness dissipated, and finally die completely.

After that, the Sea God energy would transfer to the new generation of the clan that stole the surname, repeating the above process.

Becoming a Sea God basically had two consequences: either being killed by descendants or becoming a Holy God and destroying oneself.

The Sea God was the royal descendants' revenge on the clan that stole the surname, making the clan that stole the surname never have a good death for generations, but they would not be extinct, and every generation of clan members would slaughter their close relatives.

What was even more outrageous was that in order to get rid of this curse, the clan that stole the surname actually turned the curse into a god, coming up with a curse enhancement.

From the brain monster in the ancient castle ward, one could see how morbid and cruel the behavior of the royal descendants in the later period was. The ancestors of the clan that stole the surname were also out of their minds at the time, going to grab the main city from the royal descendants.

"Conrad, your family surname is not Os."

Su Xiao spoke. Conrad, who was sitting cross-legged beside Atlantis's corpse, sighed and said:

"That's right. After I inherited the divine curse, I gained many memories. Not just the surname, the Undersea Main City, the throne, everything, everything was stolen by my ancestors from the royal descendants. My family also paid the price, and to this day, they are still suffering for what happened back then."

After Conrad finished this sentence, his upper body, which had been somewhat hunched, straightened. He was still alive, and being alive was hope. Since he could overthrow his father, it was not impossible to end this divine curse.

"Conrad, see you again if fate allows."

Master Xiulu, wearing a bamboo hat and a dark scarf covering the lower half of his face, spoke. Although he was old, as a technique type, his combat power could not be ignored. In the native world, the older the technique-type powerhouse, the more difficult they were to deal with.

"Master Xiulu, thank you for your help. There is one thing I hope you can answer."

Conrad's tone was respectful. Master Xiulu nodded, indicating agreement.

"Master Xiulu, why did you pledge allegiance to my father back then? With your character, you shouldn't..."

Conrad's words were not finished before being interrupted by Master Xiulu raising his hand. He said:

"Conrad, you and your father are very similar. Back then, he actually had more personality charm than you. Back then, I was very much like Qian Ying. The difference between me and Qian Ying is that I didn't die in the battle between your father and your grandfather. This is the reason why I once pledged allegiance to your father."

Master Xiulu walked out of the sleeping quarters. Hearing his words, Conrad was silent.

When Master Xiulu was about to exit the sleeping quarters, he stopped and said with his head slightly tilted: "Conrad, I don't hope that one day in the future, I will have to pledge allegiance to your son and return here to fight you again. I have experienced this kind of thing twice and don't want to see it a third time. You must... overcome the god in your body."

Leaving this sentence, Master Xiulu left with his scarred body. As a weapon master, why did he change his career to a doctor?

In fact, Master Xiulu wanted to use his medical skills to remove the divine curse in the body of the previous Sea God Atlantis. He and Atlantis were playmates who grew up together.

【Notification: The Hunter has fully participated in the Sea God's Secret event. You have obtained 6.5% World Source (this type of reward can only be obtained once. If subsequent contractors discover this secret, they will not obtain World Source).】

Su Xiao looked at the treasury key in his hand. He now had two choices.

1. Kill Conrad, let the Sea God energy transfer, and then keep killing until only one member of Conrad's clan is left.

2. Quit while ahead, use this treasury key to loot the treasury.

The return of the first choice was higher than the second. Before, Su Xiao always thought that the Sea God was the big boss of this world. As a result, after a siege, Su Xiao didn't even use much of his blade technique moves and slaughtered the Sea God.

Now it seemed that the real Sea God was not dead. The main body of the Sea God was the Sea God source energy, which could transfer in the bodies of Conrad's clan members. Conrad died, inherited by his eldest son; his eldest son died, inherited by his second son.

Until only one member of Conrad's clan was left, the Sea God source energy—that is, the Sea God himself—would feel danger. It coexisted with the clan that stole the surname. If the clan that stole the surname perished, it would naturally perish as well.

By then, the Sea God would reveal its true appearance and combat power. The complete Sea God in that state was one of the ultimate big bosses of this world.

As the saying goes, benefits and risks coexist.

Su Xiao decided not to court death. This was the main city. Killing the previous Sea God host Atlantis, Conrad could come out to stabilize the scene. If Conrad were killed, it would be hostile to the entire main city.

Su Xiao had used human-sea tactics to arrange many strong enemies, such as Feishi. He naturally knew better the insolubility of human-sea tactics. Moreover, the Sea God Palace force was now his half-worker, helping him find Crow Woman all over the world.

Having made up his mind, Su Xiao walked towards the door at the back of the sleeping hall, heading straight for Treasury No. 2.

Main City, Outer City District.

Boom!

An explosion came from a hotel. Several broken fingers were blown away by the flames, and the burning wood fragments were like flowers scattered by a goddess.

A woman wearing black tights with a large opening at the collar was blown away. With a boom, she lay on a residential house, smashing the tiles into pieces.

"The alarm clock sound is too loud."

Crow Woman sat up and pinched a broken tile from her clothes with her fingers. She was very puzzled. She had just arrived in the main city, so why would someone attack her? Suddenly, she thought that it must be Bai Ye from Samsara Paradise who had discovered her location.

"Bai Ye, don't hide in the dark, come out and have a fight."

Crow Woman prepared to pull the situation into her field of expertise, but soon, she found that the situation was wrong. Many city guards surrounded her. The leader was a bald man dressed as a God Official.

"Kill Crow Woman and avenge Lord Sea God!"

"???"

Crow Woman felt very confused. She guessed that she was being blamed.

After the God Official shouted to avenge Lord Sea God, the city guards smashed the ground with the ends of the long weapons in their hands. The scene was heart-shaking.

The city guards who flocked around surrounded Crow Woman in the middle. This scene was familiar.
