Lan gazed at the deep ocean aura condensed from the water between heaven and earth.
He was stunned for a moment, somewhat bewildered.
Suddenly, his body trembled, as if realizing something he couldn't believe.
"Senior, are you saying that my martial soul is seawater?"
Lan asked uncertainly.
The Sea God nodded and continued, "To be precise, your martial soul is actually the sea, and it hasn't yet fully awakened."
The word "sea" resonated silently in Lan's mind like a bolt from the blue.
A martial soul is the sea?
What kind of concept is this?!
The entire planet, including its landmass, originated from the sea.
The ocean occupies nearly 70% of its space.
It could be said that the ocean is everything, the end, and the beginning of life.
It all made sense.
No wonder Lan had an inexplicable affinity for the sea, and when Lan absorbed spirit rings, the sea also helped him absorb them.
Xiaobai and the spirits of the seven sacred pillar guardians were all suppressed by the deep ocean aura.
The ocean is the source of life.
No matter if you're the Evil Demon Killer Whale King, the Demon Soul Great White Shark, or even a top-tier sea spirit like a seahorse or a starfish, no matter how powerful you are, you're just a life born of the ocean .
To put it bluntly, Lan's spirit is the biological mother of their spirits.
And then there's Sea Dragon Douluo's Demon-Breaking Domain.
Your spirits were all born of the ocean, and you're trying to use your so-called innate domain against your own mother—that's like looking for trouble.
But
what puzzled Lan was that,if his spirit was the ocean, why did it manifest as a shark?
Lan expressed his doubts.
The Sea God raised his hand gently, and the vast ocean transformed into a long, uninterrupted stream, soaring into the sky.
For a long time, the ocean didn't even budge.
"Lan, have you ever wondered where the water in the ocean comes from?"
The Sea God spoke slowly.
Lan shook his head.
The Sea God gazed at the sea and spoke quietly, "There was once a legend that there was a Guixu in the deep sea of the far east. It was a bottomless valley in the sea, where all waters converged, and it was located ten thousand meters below the deep sea.
Guixu is the eye of the sea, constantly devouring seawater and feeding it back to the sea in another form.
It can be said that Guixu is the end of the sea and the beginning of the ocean.
All the seawater in the sky and under the earth returns to Guixu."
"I noticed you when you fought the evil killer whale clan in the sea."
"Everything has a form, and the so-called Douluo Continent is just a speck of vicissitudes in the vast universe.
There are mountain gods who become bears, water gods who become dragons, and fire gods who become tigers.
It's like a symbol of life, and your martial soul is exactly that."
"Originally the Eye of Guixu, transformed into a shark."
"It's not wrong to say that your martial soul is seawater, the ocean, or even Guixu."
"You only need to know that your spirit is the ancestor of all sea beast spirits in the universe, the ancestor of sea spirits.
In the ocean, even I hold a lower status than you."
Lan was momentarily stunned speechless
after hearing the Sea God's words .
He had initially thought that his Deep Sea Breath was merely a powerful shark, but he hadn't expected such a formidable power?
Suddenly, he'd become the ancestor of sea beasts.
The Sea God continued, "Although I'm the Sea God, I was once a mere spirit master.
Through my own strength, I protected the ocean, restored its tranquility and peace, and earned the faith of all beings, ultimately achieving the throne of Sea God."
"But to put it bluntly, I'm like a steward of the ocean, worshipped as a god by all because of my power far surpassing that of mortals."
"But you're different. Your spirit is truly the ocean."
"So, from the beginning, I didn't intend for you to inherit my throne.
That would only limit your growth.
Your future limit is destined to far exceed mine."
"Even that realm isn't impossible to reach."
After hearing the Sea God's words, Lan's expression suddenly calmed.
"So, you want me to manage the sea?"
"Yes."
"This is your destiny, even I can't change it."
The sea god responded to Lan.
Lan slowly clenched his fists, a flicker of unwillingness flashed across his face.
He only needed to complete one last mission to truly gain his freedom.
He didn't want to be burdened with some so-called responsibilities for no reason, and he didn't want to bow to the so-called fate.
The Sea God seemed to see through Lan's thoughts
. He didn't say anything, but just sighed slightly.
How can there be such a thing as getting what you want in the world?
Neither you nor I have the right to choose, only the fate of being chosen.
Becoming a god is not necessarily a good thing.
The current Sea God only wants to pass on his throne, and he also wants to see the outside world.
But he also needs to be responsible for the sea and cannot pass on the throne to mediocre people at will.
As a Sea God, enjoying the faith of all living beings, he must fulfill his duties as a Sea God.
This is the original intention of the Sea God to establish the Sea God Island.
Protect the sea.
With a wave of the Sea God's hand, the sky, the earth, and the stars changed.
"Lan, take a good look at this ocean.
Do you really feel no sense of belonging to it?"
"Ultimately, because of your spirit, helping the ocean is also helping yourself."
Lan looked around.
A gentle sea breeze brushed past his nose, and the sound of crashing waves echoed in his ears like joyful song.
This feeling was as warm as ever.
Whenever Lan set foot on the ocean, he felt like he was home.
Every drop of water here was born from his spirit.
Lan's anxiety gradually subsided.
A white bird landed on his shoulder, quietly watching over him.
An unprecedented sense of peace and comfort arose within him.
He felt as relaxed as he hadn't felt in years.
Suddenly,Lan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze becoming remarkably firm.
"Lan is willing to protect the ocean, to live and die with it."
Lan's voice echoed quietly across the sea.
The sea breeze, the waves, and the white birds in the sky gradually stopped, as if they had heard Lan's words, chirping joyfully in response.
"Oh?
How did you suddenly figure it out?"
The Sea God was slightly surprised.
Just now, Lan had acted so aloof and indifferent.
Why did he suddenly change his mind?
"Nothing, I just suddenly figured something out."
Lan sent the white bird on his shoulder skyward, a gentle smile on his face.
Everything he had came from the sea.
It was the sea that made him feel at home, helped him absorb spirit rings, and accompanied him at all times.
Sharks were meant to swim in the sea.
And wasn't this sea the freedom he had always pursued and longed for?
At this moment, Lan's heart was as clear as a mirror.
He finally understood that the "freedom" he had always pursued was the culprit that had blinded him.
True freedom didn't need to be pursued deliberately. Perhaps it was right before your eyes, you just hadn't noticed it yet.
Besides.
Is managing the sea really that difficult?
Aren't there ready-made workers?
Lan suddenly stared at the Sea God.
The Sea God felt a little uneasy when Lan stared at him.
"Respected Lord Seagod, you don't want to see the ocean you've single-handedly protected fall into chaos, do you?"
