From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

Chapter 249: Chapter 239 The Sea God is about to Awaken

The White Sea was almost calm, hiding a large island that always maintained its concealment.

On the island, thick fog often enveloped the land, reducing visibility to a minimum, while light gray clouds occasionally shrouded the heads of the people, blocking the glaring sunlight in the distance.

The sea breeze gently blew, bringing a moist scent, and people could feel the salty humidity permeating the air.

On the periphery of the island, a seemingly boundless forest stretched far into the distance, the heavy mist intertwining with the trees to form a tranquil and hazy sight.

Occasionally, the rocks at certain parts of the island would emit a deep rumbling sound, and with the tide's ebb and flow, the waves continuously crashed against the seaside rocks, creating echoing sounds.

In the center of the island stood a gigantic Sea God statue that resembled a monster, with six limbs and three fish tails, wielding a huge trident in its hands. Although it was merely a sculpture, the authority it exuded felt palpably oppressive.

The White Sea natives all knelt on the ground, their expressions frantic, as they prayed fervently to the great Sea God.

"Oh mighty Monarch of the seas, Sea God, please bless us!"

"Hurry, drive away those Cyart people from the west!"

"And the Winged Folk and glacier inhabitants from the east, kill all the Winged Folk! Expel the glacier inhabitants!"

The priests also prayed, while occasionally glancing forward.

Underneath the gargantuan Sea God statue, there was a transparent protective bubble, and inside it lay a middle-aged man in a sky-blue robe with his eyes closed.

The High Priest Sky Blue had been gravely injured by the "Thunderous Monarch" years ago and had been in a slumber ever since because of a Forbidden rare artifact.

Suddenly, his fingers started to twitch slightly, and then he opened his eyes.

"He's awake, finally awake! Hahaha! Finally, he has come to!"

"The High Priest Sky Blue has come to!"

The sight stirred the priests into almost uncontrollable cheers; the Sea God Cult's only Monarch powerful expert had finally awakened!

What a relief! The Sea God Cult, which was on the brink of destruction, finally had a future again!

"..."

Among the many priests of the Sea God Cult, only Priestess Cyan Blue's thoughts were complex.

She had secretly converted to the great Lord of the Lost and was now undercover within the Sea God Cult; she had thought that the Sea God Cult's demise was only a matter of time, but she never expected that the High Priest Sky Blue, who had been comatose for years after the "Thunderous Monarch" had injured him, would actually awaken!

"What about Sage Dark Blue?"

After emerging from the bubble, the High Priest Sky Blue's first inquiry was about Sage Dark Blue.

The oldest among them, Priest Deep Blue, stepped forward slowly and replied with a heavy tone, "Sage Dark Blue, he was killed by Viscount Bast. Please, accept my condolences!"

Everyone knew that Sage Dark Blue was the High Priest Sky Blue's twin brother, and their relationship was unimaginably close.

The High Priest Sky Blue was silent for a long while before calmly responding, "I see."

"But he hasn't completely passed away. Dark Blue is my twin brother; a part of his soul resides within me, so as long as I am alive, I can revive him in a special form."

The priests were stunned, having never imagined such a possibility.

The High Priest Sky Blue continued, "It's not something strange because the souls of twins are one and the same, and the method of rebirth from mutual life is a piece of Forbidden knowledge Dark Blue had explored in the Spirit Realm."

"He had foreseen the possibility of an accident befalling him or me; hence, the other twin was to act as an insurance."

At this point, Priestess Cyan Blue's thoughts started to scatter in disarray. This was bad!

The Fischer family was currently in a weakened state, and if the two most important figures of the Sea God Cult both returned, then Nasir Town on the East Coast would eventually become a target of the Sea God Cult!

By then, what should she do?

"Cyan Blue?"

Suddenly, she heard the High Priest Sky Blue calling her.

"Ah?"

Priestess Cyan Blue was startled and took a moment to respond.

The voice of the High Priest Sky Blue continued, deep and mysterious.

"You don't seem very happy?"

Cyan Blue was suddenly horrified inside, for everyone around her was beaming with excitement, some even unable to control their own laughter. In contrast, the lack of a smile on her face along with a touch of anxiety was all too conspicuous!

She hurriedly lowered her head and quickly explained, "It's nothing, High Priest, nothing at all. I just feel that the situation of the Sea God Cult is very critical. Even with your awakening, many issues are not so easily resolved."

"So, I am worrying about the future of the Sea God Cult!"

"Oh."

The voice of the High Priest Sky Blue was devoid of sorrow or joy. He offered no further response.

Cyan Blue secretly heaved a sigh of relief, feeling she must inform Priest Lillian of the Dawn Church about Sky Blue's awakening and the imminent revival of Sage Dark Blue.

Even though the situation had become somewhat perilous, she firmly believed that the great Lord of the Lost, worshipped by the Dawn Church, was a True God and would not be defeated by the so-called Sea God, come what may.

Just then, the voice of High Priest Sky Blue came again, his somber words causing Priest Cyan Blue's face to undergo a dramatic change.

"The Sea God is about to awaken, I have a premonition..."

What?

The Sea God is about to awaken?

The priests were all so excited that they struggled to maintain control, while Cyan Blue trembled uncontrollably, overcome by terror.

The Sea God!

If it truly awakens, the entire White Sea might collapse and be destroyed!

According to legend, the God of the Ocean possesses the power to turn heaven and earth upside down!

The waves it stirs are as high as mountains, and its surging spray becomes white waterfalls, tumbling toward the shore; its roars and bellows are like storms sweeping across the land, instilling fear in people's hearts; under its command, the tumultuous ocean waters roar like an enraged beast, displaying boundless strength!

In the basement of the Fischer family, Darren was holding a fire-red, exquisite envelope bearing the mark of the Holy Grail from the Adley Royal Family.

"It's an invitation from the Royal Capital."

The envoy of the Cyart King was temporarily staying with the Fischer family and would not leave for a few more days. Moreover, he had brought a very important letter.

It was an invitation from the Royal Capital, celebrating the victory of this war. The Cyart King was about to hold a grand triumph ceremony, and invitations were sent out to the many families that had contributed to the war.

Essentially, every family with the rank of Viscount or above was allowed to send several family members to attend the ceremony in the Royal Capital.

Darren smiled, clasped his hands in front of him, holding the invitation between his fingertips, and muttered to himself,

"Speaking of which, the situation in Rhea is rather interesting. Although both sides are vigorously claiming victory, the people of both countries should come to their senses in time."

The great battle had been devastating, with both sides suffering the death of half their combatants, which ultimately brought both to their senses, leading to negotiations for peace.

Prince Conrad was continuously scheming, hoping for the Cyart people and Rhea People to continue fighting. However, "Skyfire" Flamme Meyer was keenly aware that the Carnians were up to no good.

Those villains cared not if the Rhea People bled dry; war continuing would do no good for him, and the Rhea populace could not endure any longer.

In the end, three of Rhea's four provinces were seized by the Meyer family and the many rebellious nobles.

The old Rhea king retained only the power over a single province, the largest one, and it was not taken from him due to strong support from the Cyart people.

Overall, the war was won by the Meyer family. Yet from the perspective of the Rhea People, there was still one province co-ruled by the inept old king and the Cyart people—indeed, a rather distasteful matter.

The old Rhea king was essentially a puppet and wouldn't live much longer. The so-called "rightful Rhea king" who would follow was, obviously, someone to be selected by the Cyart people.

Of course, the Meyer family and those Rhea nobles would never acknowledge him. At this very moment, Marquis Blood Flames "Skyfire" Flamme was preparing for his coronation.

Meyer will become the new Royal Family of Rhea!

Both sides had won the war, but neither had won it completely.

"Shall we go? Who will go?"

The few in the Fischer family looked at each other, finally making a decision.

They had to go, for the Fischer family was still in need of connections with the upper echelon families. Within the Eight Great Families in the Cyart Kingdom, only a few had ties with the Fischer family, and the only ones with exceptionally good relations were the Romann family.

A few days later, Darren, Karno, and a dozen of the Fischers' followers, together with the Cyart King's envoy, headed south, leaving the East Coast Province and then passing through the Emerald Lake Province.

Eventually, they made their way to the southern boundary of the kingdom, to the Cyart Royal Capital located in the Elphinia Province!
