Looking for water element hearts in the Water Element Plane, one could probably find one hundred.

If the task was to find about one hundred water element hearts in the Water Element Plane, even Sui Xiong, who had a good relationship with Ariel, could only use the classic line in the Legend of Zhen Huan to reply, “I really can’t do this!”

Fortunately, this number was not fixed. If they could find a more advanced water element heart, then the advanced one could be equivalent to several ordinary ones.

In fact, they only needed to find about forty or fifty water element hearts.

The Goddess of Wealth had some water element hearts in her kingdom. Javier also went out to communicate with other gods and some other countries, and he bought some back from them. Now they only needed to find less than twenty-five water element hearts.

Such a number was what they could try to find.

So Ariel led all the strong men of her subordinates and friends who were good at fighting in the water—the Sea King of Eight Planes, herself and Sui Xiong. A total of ten God-level strong men scattered in all directions searched everywhere in the Water Element Plane, trying to make up the remaining number.

If they could find some more advanced water element hearts, this number could be further reduced.

If they could find water element hearts left by the Lord of Elements who had stepped into the demigod realm, they could build the giant Water Element Condensation Pool based on that water element heart they found.

Another question was how to make the powerful demigod who had gained eternal life die of old age.

“In fact, there are some ways...” Sui Xiong kept on turning around and murmured. “For example, I can find a Demigod Lord and try to kill his immortality. Then we just have to wait patiently for him to die of old age.”

“Hmm, waiting for thousands of years, he may die.”

“Oh god! That’s so long!”

Sui Xiong sighed deeply and dropped this unreliable idea.

How does one make a demigod die of old age? Anyway, Sui Xiong could not come up with any reliable ideas!

What’s more, the Water Element Plane was too large!

The Water Element Plane was the inner layer of the “material world.” The so-called inner layer was formed as the basis of the material world together with several other element planes. Those planes were boundless in size, and even the powerful gods could not find their margins. In the boundless world, there existed many kingdoms. For example, the most common kingdoms were the aquatic animal kingdom and the elemental organism kingdom.

Sui Xiong and his men wanted to find water element hearts mainly in those kingdoms.

Did they expect to find a water element heart in the wild? Of course, there were some possibilities, but it was just like buying a lottery ticket and winning five million.

Sui Xiong had never met such good luck.

So far, he had found two water element hearts from some kingdoms. The first came from an elemental organism kingdom, the founder of which was a water element from the Legendary Realm. Later, it died of old age and left a water element heart. The second came from a kingdom of “long-finned fishermen,” but it did not originate from this kingdom. It was snatched from the national treasury of another kingdom in a foreign war. Of course, considering that this kingdom was not an elemental organism kingdom, water element hearts may also be stolen from another kingdom.

Sui Xiong adopted different attitudes towards those two kingdoms.

Although those elemental organisms were not mild, they were not savage and hostile. Sui Xiong communicated with them for several days and finally got water element hearts in exchange for helping an elder of water element step into the Legendary Realm.

As for the kingdom that had attacked Sui Xiong after his secret search, he was sure that it was a brutal bandit kingdom. He broke through its magic fence without saying a word and used a spell called the “Stable and Unparalleled Justice” that he had learned from his eldest brother. This spell had no other effects but would make people suffer the pain that they had caused to others. Although the spell was weak in general, if a person had done all kinds of evil, they would definitely die.

When the spell hit the kingdom, about one-third of people in the Long-finned Fishermen Kingdom died. Sui Xiong stuck out his tongue and murmured something. Then he grabbed all the souls and was going to throw them into hell when he returned to the Main Plane. He would leave the words “good and evil will always be rewarded” above the water with his Divine Powers and then marched off.

Of course, before leaving, he did not forget to take some “souvenirs” from the treasury of other kingdoms.

In general, those two things were very interesting. It was interesting to talk to those slow-moving water elements, and it was also interesting to see the faces of those bullies who bullied others.

This little bit of fun could make Sui Xiong feel happy from time to time during his boring search.

In fact, he really looked forward to what kind of kingdom he would encounter next.

With this expectation, the giant jellyfish searched in the boundless abyss and slowly went around in circles.

About two or three months later, Sui Xiong encountered five or six kingdoms in the Water Element Plane, but he only collected three water element hearts from the Sea Kingdom. Other kingdoms did not have water element hearts.

The three water element hearts that Sui Xiong had received were from a kingdom hosted by the Golden-tailed Fishermen. The Golden-tailed Fishermen were keen on doing business, and their favorite thing to do was to collect gold and all kinds of treasures. They were often robbed by some greedy strong men because they had so much treasure. Therefore, they often migrated in order to avoid disasters. They were also keen on making good relations with some powerful men, hoping to seek help when they were in danger.

Those methods were unreliable, but for those who were not good at fighting, this was a good way.

Sui Xiong’s visit surprised the king of the Golden-tailed Fishermen. As a big businessman, he knew a lot of people who did cross-plane transactions and who were quite well-informed. The giant green jellyfish was gentle except for his speech and behavior being a little strange. The most important thing was that he was super powerful. Combined with these points, Sui Xiong did not even need to give self-introduction; the Golden-tailed Fishermen recognized him immediately.

When they knew that Sui Xiong was helping the Goddess of Ocean to search for water element hearts, they gave three water element hearts to Sui Xiong without hesitation from their treasury. Then they tried to ask whether the Goddess of Ocean wanted to accept the loyalty of their race?

For a variety of reasons, few gods would bring their faiths to the Elemental Plane, and the Goddess of Ocean was no exception.

Sui Xiong contacted Ariel for a while, but Ariel felt somewhat embarrassed. She even wanted to give up the three water element hearts.

Sui Xiong did not understand why the Goddess of Ocean refused to accept the Golden-tailed Fishermen as her followers since others were pulling people to believe in them?

“This... It’s easy to anger the Rulers of the Elements by developing followers in the Elemental Plane,” Ariel said with a bitter smile. “It’s not worth risking angering the Queen of Water Elements and the King of Fire Elements for three water element hearts.”

Sui Xiong frowned and instead of telling the Golden-tailed Fishermen this answer, he asked whether they wanted to believe in him?

“Believing in me is a little more complicated than believing in the Goddess of Ocean,” Sui Xiong said. “I have requirements for the behavior of my followers. Generally speaking, I require my followers to refuse to cooperate with the evil camp and be as good as possible. Is this requirement too high for you businessmen?”

The king of the Golden-tailed Fishermen shook his head immediately. Sui Xiong was worried that he would break the two long beards on his chin because he shook his head too hard.

“Great, the Void Mask! We really want your protection! As for those requirements, we will adhere to strictly. Please rest assured!”

In this way, Sui Xiong got the three water element hearts and a group of devout followers.

When they knew that the Void Mask was willing to protect them, the Golden-tailed Fishermen were very excited, and many of them even cried. This made Sui Xiong feel very emotional.

These guys... How many hardships had they suffered in the past!?

However, Sui Xiong’s troubles came soon.

Shortly after he left the kingdom of the Golden-tailed Fishermen, a huge shadow of water elements appeared above him, accompanied by violent turbulence.

Not needing to look carefully, Sui Xiong guessed this identity just from the pressure they gave off.

He was one of the leaders of the four elements—the Queen of Water Elements.
