786 -13: Godlike Teammates_2
Tang Xian arrived at the entrance of the Dragon Palace, and looking up, he could see some gigantic shadows swimming in the sea.
With a gentle wave of his trident, something happened that almost made Tang Feiji’s eyes pop out: the ocean seemed to part, divided by a terrifying force, and a dry passage without water appeared in the deep sea.
The terrifying power of the Sea God was so strong, it was said it could flip the ocean.
Although the power inherited was naturally weaker than the Sea God’s own strength, it was still a breeze to create a passage through the deep sea.
Tang Xian and Tang no longer had to endure the bad breath of Tang Feiji, as they could ride Tang Feiji directly back to the surface of the ocean.
Tang Feiji was amazed because the power Tang Xian demonstrated was too formidable, but Tang was very calm, as if it was not surprising whatever Tang Xian did.
Riding the dragon upward, those deep-sea creatures finally saw the light.
They originally did not dare to provoke Tang Feiji, but now Tang Feiji seemed insignificant compared to the human on his back, who instilled an instinctual tremor in all the deep-sea creatures.
The return to the sea island was naturally much faster, and along the way, Tang Xian observed the reactions of these creatures, gaining a bit more understanding of the Sea God’s inheritance.
Although he was more fond of the Milky Way, Tang Xian had to admit that the inheritance of the Milky Way did not have much power left, at best it was a means of saving one’s life.
Compared to that, the inheritance of the Sea God was much more substantial.
The Destroyer, Nether Phoenix, Lost God, these inheritances were likely just as generous.
There were still many days left out of the ninety days deadline, and if he moved quickly enough and planned the correct sequence, perhaps he could really find all the Beast Gods’ inheritances within ninety days.
…
…
When Tang Xian returned to the sea island, it was already in the afternoon.
Seeing that Tang Xian now had a trident in hand, Jin Lu didn’t know what it was but guessed it was related to the Sea God.
Her gaze towards Tang Xian became even more submissive, and it was not just Jin Lu; all the sea island creatures seemed to sense a certain unique aura from the trident.
For Tang Xian, this was just the icing on the cake, as he had already earned the trust of myriad beasts.
At night, Tang Xian started grilling fish and Tang’s Dog Meat that had been caught from the sea, and nearby, Tang Xiaojiu was endlessly expressing fondness for her big brother Tang.
Because ever since Tang took charge of dividing the meat for the first time, all subsequent meat-distribution tasks were his responsibility.
Tang Xiaojiu had also thought of expressing fondness for Brother Yuanwu, as Yuanwu Brother used to give her some meat to eat, but Yuanwu had returned to Baichuan City in the morning, on Lin Sen’s request, to bring some materials.
Just to be able to eat more meat, Tang Xiaojiu was even willing to sacrifice Uncle Feiji.
“Meat Meat Big Brother, Uncle Feiji doesn’t eat fish from the sea, you can give his share to me,” she said.
How could Tang Feiji not eat it?
But he didn’t hear her.
Because right now, he was troubled.
It seemed that the boss had forgotten the old love upon finding a new one.
Once upon a time, he was the exclusive aircraft, invincible through sky and sea.
But now?
Seeking the Sea God’s inheritance, he didn’t feel involved at all!
As a proud Azure Dragon, to be outshined by a Purple-level creature was a disgrace!
When Tang Feiji saw that his bowl only had dog meat and no fish, he felt even more like a former celebrity, a faded old dragon not as good as a dog.
Tang Xian didn’t pay him any attention.
This foolish dragon had a big heart, a couple of compliments would make his tail wag high in the sky.
At that moment, Tang Xian was chatting with Lin Sen, Yu Xiaozhe, and others, asking about their progress, despite having recently ventured to the Sea God’s inheritance site.
Lin Sen and Yu Xiaozhe were also progressing smoothly, constructing the transmission station, the more complex issues had not yet manifested.
Worrying now was useless.
Jin Lu came over to ask for Tang Xian’s opinion.
“You’re leaving tomorrow?” she asked.
“Yes, I must go tomorrow, time is pressing,” he replied.
“Where to?”
“The next stop might be the Hungry Sea.
On the other side of the world, but I’m not sure yet.”
Jin Lu didn’t know why Tang Xian was still unsure and simply asked,
“Do you need help?”
“Not for now.
While Bai Mansheng is away, you just manage the myriad beasts on the island well.
When we need you, I will naturally send someone to inform you.”
“Alright.”
Jin Lu didn’t ask further about Tang Xian’s plans, which Tang Xian was actually still constructing.
After speaking with everyone, Tang Xian went to a corner and watched the firelight, slowly chewing on dog and fish meat, his eyes glazed over, contemplating the next steps.
“The Sin Snatching Territory surely hides the Nether Phoenix, but the judge is very likely to be waiting for me there after recovering a lot from his injuries.
The Sin Snatching Territory is also the most distinctive place; according to Bai Shuang, it almost certainly indicates a legacy.”
Tang Xian quietly calculated in his heart, furrowing his brows.
There are still three places to go: searching for the Zudun Giant, the Hungry Sea, and the Sin Snatching Territory, and the order of these three is crucial.
“If I go too early, I will have to confront the judge head-on, and this time, he is likely not to let me leave easily.
I am also not able to fight him right now.
If I wait until I have attained the other legacies, I’m afraid the legacy of the Nether Phoenix will have already fallen into the judge’s hands.”
“The Netherworld Spirit Thin Prison is a vital lifeline.
If I give up this legacy, killing the judge later will be too difficult.
The judge may not be aware of the other legacies.”
“I currently have the power of the Sea God.
If I go to the Hungry Sea, maybe I can seize its legacy with extreme speed.
Whether it’s the Destroyer’s legacy or the Lost God’s legacy, its power might not be enough to defeat the judge, but at least I can retreat safely.
However, there is still too much uncertainty.”
Tang Xian felt trapped by a dilemma.
If only someone could hold the judge back.
Then I could safely make my way to the Sin Snatching Territory.
But who can hold the judge back?
Just as Tang Xian fell into a quandary, the light of a transmission fissure flashed, and Yuan Wu’s figure appeared.
Upon seeing Tang Xian, Yuan Wu revealed a smile.
After that tyrant transformation, the anger and joy he lacked slowly began to return, gradually making him a person with complete emotions, possessing the joys and sorrows of a normal person.
“Sir, I have some good news.”
Upon seeing Yuan Wu, Tang Xian could guess what it was about from his need analysis the moment they met.
He was slightly startled.
Could it be that his luck had indeed turned?
What I needed came just in time?
Dad showed his spirit, poison milk turned into pure milk?
Yuan Wu saw Tang Xian’s astonishment and thought he was confused, so he said,
“I went back to get materials for them.
Li Xiaoyu asked me to bring you a message, saying that everything is going smoothly on Tang Jing’s side, and the negotiations with the judge have been perilous but without incident.
The objectives that were originally planned have also been preliminarily achieved.”
“Li Xiaoyu said if there’s anything else Tang Jing needs to do, now is the best time.”
Tang Xian suddenly felt hungry, and in a good mood, felt like eating meat heartily.
Tang Xian had not expected Tang Jing to complete the task with such efficiency.
The task was to arouse the judge’s alertness without making the judge suspect the human side, which meant Tang Jing had to play the role of an envoy of order convincingly.
Tang Jing had been doing this for more than twenty years, which he knew like the back of his hand, and didn’t even need Xuan Niao to appear.
Especially now that he had become an Angel Envoy, Tang Jing no longer had any human life characteristics.
An Orderer’s control over mechanical life forms is not something a judge would doubt.
Would the Orderers proactively sever the connection with an envoy?
With these common-sense distractions, Tang Jing could easily complete the task and even spread some misleading information.
This is the strength of a top spy.
At such a critical point of competing for time, as long as the judge can be held back even for a week, Tang Xian was confident about obtaining the Nether Phoenix legacy before the judge.
Aware of the urgency of time, Tang Xian smiled and said,
“Tell Li Xiaoyu, and let Tang Jing pass on a message that Tang Xian is about to go to the coast of the Ashen Sea south of the Amara Continent to seek the Sea God’s legacy.
As for the source of information, Tang Jing will have a way to explain it.”
Yuan Wu nodded and quickly left through the transmission fissure.
Tang Xian looked at the sky, thinking that now he seemed to have heavenly assistance, increasing his chances of success by perhaps another five percent.
