Capítulo 2002: Chapter 2001: News of Gongsun Muya, The True Purpose

Upon hearing this news, Xu Zimei couldn’t believe it.

He had met the people from Immortal Island before.

In fact, he had tested them himself, whether they were from Haotian Sect or the few from Hidden God Sect.

They were actually all natives of Immortal Island.

According to Xu Zimei’s observations, these were indeed real people.

If the Old Tree could truly create a batch of people so strong that even Xu Zimei couldn’t tell the difference,

then that would truly be defying the heavens.

Although Xu Zimei could also create life, it was dependent on the Divine Continent.

He first created the world, and on that basis, other life forms were born according to the rules.

But the Old Tree didn’t create a world at all.

The Immortal Island that he turned into after death is just an island, to be frank.

It’s not a self-created world.

Without the support of a world, how could he create humans directly?

Sure enough, to explain this, the sea beast said, “He certainly doesn’t have the power to create humans.

And even if he did, they would have long been obliterated by the Heavenly Dao; how could they be allowed to exist.”

“But the Old Tree doesn’t need to create humans; he found a group of real humans.

Forcibly infused his blood into their bodies.”

“Until the day the bloodline assimilates, he can instantly absorb these people’s lives to achieve his resurrection.”

“Then what role do you sea beasts play in this?” Xu Zimei asked.

“We sea beasts are originally a deep-sea race.

We live in harmony, always dwelling at the bottom of the sea.

However, the Old Tree forcibly polluted our bloodline with his blood,”

the sea beast said, appearing very angry.

He continued, “We are nourishment for the Old Tree’s resurrection, just like those humans.

But we are different from humans.

We want to resist.”

“There’s only one way to stop the Old Tree’s resurrection.”

“Sever the Old Tree’s last root, which is his root of life and his last hope for revival.”

“Is that your purpose in attacking Immortal Island?” Xu Zimei asked.

“Exactly, we didn’t originally want to start a war; causing destruction is not our goal,”

the sea beast replied.

“But in recent years, the Old Tree has shown signs of revival, and it’s getting faster and faster.

We can’t wait any longer.

There’s even suspicion that some people on Immortal Island have already been controlled.”

“Immortal Island’s forces don’t want to cooperate with you?” Xu Zimei asked.

The sea beast snorted coldly at these words.

He replied, “They refuse to believe in the so-called Old Tree threat and always regard it as a legend.

They even see us sea beasts as enemies.

A bunch of ignorant blood food.”

Upon hearing this from the sea beast, Xu Zimei couldn’t be completely persuaded either.

After all, they were not related in any way.

And currently, there was no sign of the Old Tree’s revival. It’s normal not to believe it.

But the sea beast’s words opened a new perspective for Xu Zimei.

“Alright, you can go now,” Xu Zimei waved his hand,

indicating that the sea beast could leave.

The sea beast immediately stood up, actually having recovered somewhat from his injuries during the conversation.

“Can I really go?” The sea beast was still somewhat incredulous.

“If you don’t want to leave, you can stay,” Xu Zimei waved his hand.

“No, then I’m leaving,” the sea beast dashed away.

He wasn’t escaping but rather going to fight with other people from Immortal Island, and around Xu Zimei, there was no more warfare.

……

After the sea beast left, a shadowy figure brought Zhou Rusui back to the warship.

Xu Zimei released the gigantification of the Law of Heaven and Earth.

“Why… why did you let him go?” Zhou Rusui tentatively asked.

“He used his chips to exchange for his life,” Xu Zimei said.

“Hey, don’t listen to those sea beasts’ nonsense.

They’re very bad,” Zhou Rusui quickly warned.

“I have basic discernment ability,” Xu Zimei said.

He looked at the reinforcements already arriving in the distance. The sea beasts were strong, but they had no backup.

However, on the Immortal Island side, as more and more people arrived, it soon became an advantageous situation.

Some sea beasts had already begun to die.

But several rifts were also torn in the Dome Defense.

Finally, alongside Immortal Island’s main forces, about a hundred sea beasts were eventually killed by half, and the other half fled.

The entire sea surface was stained blood red.

For a time, the bodies of sea beasts and human corpses floated on it.

The whole atmosphere was very tragic.

But fortunately, this small beast tide was resisted.

Sumeru Ancestor, covered in blood, walked over.

He had just participated in killing a sea beast, and because he couldn’t dodge in time, he was drenched in blood.

“Great, that was great,” Sumeru Ancestor laughed heartily.

For the humans of Immortal Island, slaughtering sea beasts is the greatest glory.

“Elder, are you alright?” Zhou Rusui asked.

“Some minor injuries, nothing serious,” Sumeru Ancestor waved his hand.

He then said, “We need to quickly return to the Hidden God Sect.

Then discuss with the Sect Master about sending troops to support here and resisting the next large beast tide.”

Zhou Rusui’s face was somewhat pale.

If a small beast tide is already so terrifying, there’s no need to mention a large one.

“Senior, thank you for protecting the Saintess earlier,” Sumeru Ancestor gratefully said to Xu Zimei.

Xu Zimei waved his hand.

Actually, he knew that even if he didn’t make a move, the shadowy figure could also protect Zhou Rusui.

Even if they couldn’t defeat the sea beasts, simple escape wouldn’t be a problem.

“Martial King Zhou originally wanted me to stay for the celebration feast, but I refused; let’s leave as soon as possible.”

Sumeru Ancestor said.

He always had an ominous premonition.

The warship reappeared, rapidly heading towards the location of the Hidden God Sect along the strait of Immortal Island.

Aboard, Xu Zimei found Sumeru Ancestor.

He asked, “Do you have something you haven’t told us?”

“Senior has seen through it,” Sumeru Ancestor smiled.

“It’s not that I intended to hide it; I’m just uncertain myself.

This time the sea beasts attacked Immortal Island, and we suspect their major offensive might just be a feint.”

“Their real purpose is to tear a gap in the Dome Defense and send a few hidden sea beasts in.”

Xu Zimei didn’t respond to this.

However, he felt it was very likely.

If the sea beasts want to sever the Old Tree’s last root, they must first find its location.

Xu Zimei even suspected that finding the Old Tree’s inheritance might be linked with this root.

Of course, it’s all speculation at this point, and he could only take it step by step.

“By the way, there’s something I think you’ll be interested in,” Sumeru Ancestor actively changed the topic, saying.

“While chatting with Martial King Zhou earlier, I inadvertently learned about Gongsun Muya.”
