Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 740 - 331: Deep Sea Seed of Origin (Part 3)

If the True Self falls into slumber along with the main body, by the time it awakens, even if Blue Star hasn’t been blown apart by the players of the Abyssal Game, it would have long been taken over by the Bright Society, and even if Joy hasn’t cleared the game, he would already be at least an Abyss Fourth Layer player in decades.

What point is there in playing then?

Wu Chang looked at the All-Knowing Crystal and thought that it was not in vain to invest resources into it before; it truly knows how to reciprocate when faced with difficulties.

He apologized countless times for feeling the ache when feeding the All-Knowing Crystal with the Primordial Spirit Core, and promised that in the future, any Primordial Spirit Core would be all yours, eat as much as you want!

The energy level of the Primordial Spirit Core is higher than the so-called Primordial Bloodline. Under the effect of the Primordial Spirit Core, the liquid inside the Crystal Egg Shell was reshaped at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The long evolution time was completed by him in just a few minutes, reconsolidating the form of the Sea Giant in the liquid.

Absorbing the Deep Sea Origin did not allow his bloodline to evolve once more but did enhance his current Deep Sea Alien Bloodline.

Firstly, there was a numeric increase, directly enhancing the Sea Giant and Abyssal Python transformations, each increasing strength and energy by 30 points.

At the same time, the abilities corresponding to both transformations were comprehensively enhanced.

The Deep Water Bite of the Abyssal Python transformed into Divine Damage. If the target’s divinity doesn’t exceed Wu Chang’s by one level, they won’t be able to resist the poisonous effects of the Deep Water Bite.

The Sea Giant’s Body of Strength ability enabled his Life Attribute and strength to likewise enjoy a 70% additional boost during transformation.

These numerical bloodline enhancements seem significant, but they pale when compared to the new talent gained after absorbing the Deep Sea Origin.

"Talent Name: Deep Sea Seed of Origin"

"Talent Description: While devouring ocean creatures, you will absorb the Deep Sea Bloodline within them, enhancing your own bloodline concentration. Once the concentration bar is full, you will evolve in the most optimal direction according to the current bloodline."

"Note: As an ancient Seed of Origin, your evolution will no longer be constrained."

Wu Chang looked at the talent description of the Deep Sea Seed of Origin, and his expression became peculiar.

The good news is that with the Seed of Origin talent, even if he reaches the Realm of Reason or Abyss Third Layer in the future, he won’t need to worry about the Deep Sea Alien Transformation becoming obsolete.

In the Abyssal Game, what is most valuable is obviously growable items. In the same level of gear, growable gear is worlds apart from ordinary gear, let alone bloodlines.

According to the Management Bureau’s intelligence, the Ocean Race Transformation is already the pinnacle of Desolate Realm transformations, while the Deep Sea Alien Transformation is a rarity even in the Realm of Reason.

As for evolvable bloodlines, scholars don’t dare to make such guesses even in bloodline research literature.

As long as he continues consuming, his bloodline can continuously evolve.

The bad news is that in the end, he wonders if he would transform into a Kun.

Clearing his mind of distracting thoughts, Wu Chang focused his attention back on the present.

Wu Chang observed the gradually dissipating green mucus inside the Divine Hall, sensing the intense trembling of the Land of Sleep and the collapsing Lost City where his main body resided.

"Deep Sea Origin" is not only guarded by the Master of the Deep Sea but also serves a role akin to a Pillar of the Divine Kingdom, being the core of the entire Divine Kingdom.

Now thinking back, when he retrieved the "Deep Sea Origin", the black mist in the Crystal Egg Shell had begun forming from a liquid state and would soon finish hatching.

However, the energy accumulated in the green mucus had been exhausted, insufficient to supply the final nourishment for the "Deep Sea Origin".

The "Deep Sea Origin", which has been protected for thousands of years, is about to hatch. By taking over the plane of Peaceful Town when the stars align, enough Power of Faith can be harvested to complete the final stage of evolution for the "Deep Sea Origin".

Success is within reach; no wonder the Master of the Deep Sea changed its usually cautious nature. Even after being severely damaged by the Ogre Fleet, it didn’t choose to retreat but instead devoured its Divine Hall to fight them desperately.

Unfortunately, after all these years of preparation, in the end, Wu Chang benefited the most.

Wu Chang sighed, recalling the call sensed from the deep sea when he devoured the Golden Flying Fish.

You summoned me, and when I truly came, you became unwilling.

He controlled his body to revert to normal size, first giving the All-Knowing Crystal a hearty kiss, then took it with him, leaving the soon-to-collapse Divine Kingdom.

On the Lost Continent, Erin and the Great Saint Mother had yet to recover from their exhaustion, but the violently trembling ground left no room for the three of them to linger.

In desperation, the upright Wu Chang’s main body could only support the two of them, searching for loot in the core area of the Lost City.

The search results were the same as when the True Self searched, the items they found were all decayed and damaged, rendered useless.

The Great Saint Mother was puzzled, casting a doubtful look around, muttering that these items once held enormous energy and shouldn’t have deteriorated so quickly.

Wu Chang didn’t know the reason before, but judging from his experience in the temple within the Land of Sleep, the damage to items in the Lost Continent was likely because the Master of the Deep Sea had absorbed all available energy to supply the "Deep Sea Origin".

This included energy from offerings made to him.

Wu Chang, of course, didn’t mention this; he just followed the Great Saint Mother, equally puzzled.

When something abnormal occurs, there is always a reason. Following the damage of the items, the Great Saint Mother quickly surmised that there were deeper secrets hidden within the Lost City.

She wanted to continue investigating, but her body couldn’t support her, and with more than half of the Lost City already in ruins, she had to give up.

Wu Chang originally thought that after such a grand battle, the Great Saint Mother ended up with no loot but instead lost a significant amount of Divine Power and one body puppet; it would break her defense.

But he didn’t expect the Great Saint Mother’s mindset to be so calm, quickly accepting all of this with only a brief period of reluctance.

Even Wu Chang forced a look of dejection on his face to cover up him benefiting alone.

Something is amiss.

Wu Chang tentatively asked, "Your Eminence the Great Saint Mother, are you truly okay with such an outcome? Why don’t we search the ruins of the Divine Hall again; there’s definitely a secret behind the Master of the Deep Sea?"

The Great Saint Mother uninterestedly replied, "Let’s leave first, being able to rescue this plane from the Master of the Deep Sea is already the biggest gain. As for the Master of the Deep Sea’s secrets, it’s fine to explore them later."

Looking at the unperturbed Great Saint Mother, Wu Chang mused whether he was judging her with a petty mind.

If he alone acted as such a petty person, backstabbing teammates, wouldn’t he seem very despicable?

Before the Lost City completely collapsed, he took Erin and the Great Saint Mother back to the only remaining warship.

The battle was completely over, and the Great Saint Mother’s puppet body couldn’t last much longer. She leaned against Wu Chang’s body, sitting on the floor, as the divine light in her eyes gradually faded.

"Mortal, the battle is over, next..."

The Great Saint Mother didn’t finish, her body completely stilled.

The next moment, a teleportation array lit up on the ship’s deck, and Archbishop Gelman appeared with a brand new and perfectly intact Great Saint Mother.

The Great Saint Mother coldly said, "Mortal, next we should discuss the ownership of Briff Island."
