“Anything that can turn the spiritual world into this state must possess extremely high world authority. And in the spiritual world, the higher the level of authority, the stronger the presence, which means it is easier to be detected.” The Deep Sea Will closed its eyes, tightly gripping Little White’s hand, and whispered, “In other words, as long as we find the place in this spiritual world with the strongest presence besides you and me, we can find the source of the anomaly.”

Chapter 2181 Extremely Protective of One's Own

The principle that the will of the deep sea speaks of is very simple.

In the spiritual world, the more ordinary something is, the less noticeable it becomes; the more extraordinary something is, the more attention it attracts. Therefore, something that can influence the spiritual world to its current apocalyptic state must have a presence that is no less significant than that of Xiaobai, the master of the spiritual world. If one is willing to look, it will be easy to detect.

After hearing the explanation from the Will of the Deep Sea, Xiao Bai felt as if he had been enlightened, and everything became clear.

"As expected of a master of mental power, he came up with a solution in no time!" Xiaobai exclaimed in admiration of the Deep Sea Will, then asked, "How do we find it? Should we ask Xiaohong and the others for help? They have more people."

“No need.” The Will of the Deep Sea closed its eyes, raised one hand, and pointed into the air. “In the spiritual world, spiritual power is of course the most useful.”

With a light tap of her finger, the Will of the Deep Sea created a ripple effect, and then a square projection map appeared in front of Xiaobai.

The map that appeared in front of Xiaobai was initially blank, but soon as the ripples spread, an image resembling a continental plate emerged on the map, and small dots like stars appeared one after another in various locations on the continental plate.

"This is a map of the spiritual world. The dots on it represent targets active within the spiritual world. I'm using my mental power to search and then integrating the information to show you." The Deep Sea Will remained with her eyes closed as she spoke, waving her hand. Ripples appeared on the map, and numerous glowing dots began to dim, except for two dots in the center of the map that remained lit.

"Uh... do you mean Xiaohong and the others? These dim dots are not lit up?" Xiaobai asked, pointing to the dim dots on the map.

"Ah."

"What about these two that are lit up?"

"It's you and me."

"As expected." Xiaobai's eyes searched the map, and she suddenly noticed a special little dot that flickered on and off next to the glowing dot representing herself and the Will of the Deep Sea. She raised an eyebrow and quickly asked, "Huh? Will of the Deep Sea, look, this dot seems a little different! Is this the source of the anomaly?"

“No.” The Will of the Deep Sea shook its head.

"Huh? Isn't that right?"

"That's Xiao Hong too."

"what?"

"It's the one at home. She's the mother of all the little red ones. She has some access to the spiritual world, but not much."

"It's her..." Xiaobai smiled awkwardly.

Xiao Bai scratched his cheek and continued to focus his attention on the map.

Before the Deep Sea Will had finished searching the entire spiritual world, numerous points on the map in front of her kept appearing and disappearing as the ripples spread.

Little White stares intently at all the points on the map, trying to find a point as bright as itself.

Ripples rise and fall, and dots appear and disappear one by one.

at last.

As the Deep Sea Will continued its search, an unusually bright spot appeared on the map, near a corner.

The brightness of this point far exceeded that of all the previous points, and it was even brighter than the small points represented by Xiaobai and the Will of the Deep Sea. As soon as it appeared, it was as if the sun had appeared in the dark night, illuminating the entire map of the spiritual world as if it were about to burn.

"That's it!" Xiaobai quickly pointed to the map.

At the same time, the will of the deep sea opened its eyes, its gaze naturally turning to that magical spot as bright as the sun.

"We've finally found it." The Will of the Deep Sea took Little White's hand. "Let's go."

There was a flash of white light.

The will of the deep sea pulled Little White away from where they stood. In the next scene, the two appeared in the sky above a vast, open grassland.

This is a deserted, green meadow.

Xiaobai and the Will of the Deep Sea looked towards the grassland.

Thunder rumbled and giant waves surged across the grassland before us.

A colossal mine pit had been carved out of the earth, with countless bolts of lightning pouring down from the sky. Hurricanes pulled everything from all directions toward the center, and within the pit, a small but exceptionally bright silver sphere lay sunk in the center of the earth, frantically absorbing the surrounding soil like a black hole, swallowing everything in its path.

Countless objects belonging to the spiritual world poured into the silver sphere one after another, but no matter how many poured in, the sphere's volume did not increase in the slightest.

The powerful suction even dragged Xiaobai and the Deep Sea Will into the area. Fortunately, the Deep Sea Will was stronger. She simply waved her hand, and a layer of black defensive shield appeared in front of her and Xiaobai, keeping them suspended in mid-air.

"This is... the source of the anomaly?"

Xiao Bai looked curiously at the silver sphere in the mine.

"Hmm, it seems so." The Will of the Deep Sea raised its hand to sense the airflow around it and said to Little White, "If I'm not mistaken, it's this strange thing in front of us that has been absorbing energy from the spiritual world, causing the spiritual world's energy cycle to become disordered and its order to collapse, which in turn creates a butterfly effect, leading to the current situation."

"Hiss... What is this?" After hearing the words of the Deep Sea Will, Xiaobai gasped, but her eyes were full of doubt.

Xiaobai had absolutely no idea what this silvery-white thing was.

She searched her memory but couldn't find anything that matched the appearance of this thing.

"Let's take a closer look," the Will of the Deep Sea suggested after a moment's thought.

"Won't it be sucked away?"

"Leaving it here unattended isn't a long-term solution. After all, if you let this thing continue absorbing, your mental world won't last long." The will of the deep sea looked over. "If anything happens, I will protect you."

"Great! I feel confident now!" Xiaobai's courage surged.

The Will of the Deep Sea took Little White's hand, and the two of them slowly floated towards the silver sphere.

The closer one gets to the silver sphere, the more terrifying the suction force becomes. Xiaobai can even feel the howling wind in his ears and see several large trees being pulled towards the silver sphere. Within seconds, they are crushed into powder by the powerful suction force from the sphere's surface. Fortunately, the Deep Sea Will's defensive shield remains sturdy and resilient, and it does not waver under the powerful suction force, which is like a black hole.

Finally, the will of the deep sea controlled the defensive shield to stop in front of the silver sphere.

As they drew closer, Xiaobai and the Will of the Deep Sea finally saw the true appearance of the silver sphere.

It turns out that this so-called "sphere" is actually a gale-force wind enveloping some kind of object. This wind acts like the blades of a blender turned to its limit, pulverizing everything that comes into contact with it into the smallest particles, which are then drawn into the sphere and drizzled...

"What demons and monsters?"

The Will of the Deep Sea frowned as it looked at the fierce wind before it, then raised its hand and pressed down.

A hurricane, rotating in the exact opposite direction to the gale, instantly billowed up and covered the silver sphere in front of us.

With a loud bang, a shockwave spread out from the point of contact.

The shockwave instantly spread out of the mine, making the already huge mine several times larger. Objects that were swept into the gale from all directions lost their traction and were then subjected to the shockwave, instantly flying in the opposite direction. For a moment, the area around the mine was filled with loud crashing sounds.

The gale-force winds on the silver sphere disappeared.

Xiao Bai and the Will of the Deep Sea stared in surprise at the object within the gale, their mouths slightly agape.

"Eh...it's this..." Xiaobai was shocked.

“Unexpected…but also reasonable.” The Will of the Deep Sea looked at the object before him with a complex expression.

The culprit that nearly caused the collapse of the entire spiritual world, which appeared before Xiaobai and the Will of the Deep Sea, finally revealed itself.

—This is a military knife stuck in the ground, its entire body silver-white and its blade gleaming.

—This is a deep-sea killer.

"Shouldn't this thing be inside my ship equipment? How did it appear in the mental world? And... why is it in this state..." Xiaobai looked at the deep-sea killer in front of him, shocked and full of doubt.

"...This weapon might be extraordinary." The Will of the Deep Sea frowned, muttering softly as it reached out to the Deep Sea Assassin.

As the Deep Sea Will's hand approached, a familiar crackling sound rang out, and sharp blade energy mercilessly swept towards the Deep Sea Will.

The Will of the Deep Sea immediately stopped its attack, wisely giving up on continuing to contact the Deep Sea Killer.

"Even in the spiritual world, it seems I can't touch it," the Will of the Deep Sea said slowly, looking at Little White.

"I...I'll try..." Xiaobai reached out to the Deep Sea Killer, slowly grasped the hilt of the Deep Sea Killer's knife, and then gently pulled it out of the ground without any resistance.

hum-

The Deep Sea Killer's blade trembled slightly, emitting a pleasant metallic resonance, as if it were pleased with Xiaobai's touch.

Xiao Bai held the Deep Sea Killer horizontally in his hand.

"That's strange, nothing happens as long as I touch it..." Xiaobai muttered, then looked up and asked in confusion, "Deep Sea Will, why did the Deep Sea Killer appear here and almost destroy our mental world?"

“Things that can actively appear in the spiritual world all have souls.” The Will of the Deep Sea looked at the Deep Sea Killer, pondered for a long time, and slowly said, “Perhaps this weapon also has a soul.”

"Huh? Is that so?"

“Well, after all, this sword is part of your ship equipment.” Deep Sea Will nodded. “Just like the white whale and the purple whale of Deep Sea Yamato, ship equipment might give rise to a kind of symbiotic life after it has been developed to a certain extent.”

“Life… a knife…” Xiaobai looked at the Deep Sea Killer in his hand with complicated eyes.

It seemed to sense Xiaobai's gaze.

The Deep Sea Killer in Xiaobai's hand once again resonated with the sound of its blade.

hum-

It seems there really was a response.

When Xiao Bai mentioned the Deep Sea Killer, he carefully examined it twice.

"Deep-sea killer? Can you hear me?"

"Om-"

"If you can hear it, then make two consecutive buzzing sounds."

"Om - hum -"

"Really?" Xiaobai touched the Deep Sea Killer's blade in surprise, but the next second, she suddenly pointed at the gleaming blade and began to reproach, "Since you have a spirit, then you are a bad knife."

"..." Deep-sea assassin.

"How could you bully the Will of the Deep Sea? She's my precious daughter." Little White said, poking at the Deep Sea Killer's blade with a displeased expression.

Chapter 2182 Rescue Operation Taihou

While scolding the Deep Sea Killer, Xiao Bai poked at the Deep Sea Killer's blade with her finger.

"Om..."

Under Xiaobai's probing, the blade of the Deep Sea Assassin visibly bent, and the metallic clanging of the blade became much lower.

"Our family rules are quite lenient, but we don't allow our own people to bully each other, you know that?" Xiao Bai continued to attack the Deep Sea Assassin.

"When were the family rules established?" The Deep Sea Will, without refuting Xiaobai's previous words, turned a blind eye and asked Xiaobai.

"Hehe, I just thought of it." Little White rubbed her cheek against the blade of the Deep Sea Killer, then handed the Deep Sea Killer to the Deep Sea Will. "Here!"

"…What are you doing?"

"Try touching it," Xiaobai said with a smile. "After our conversation, I feel that the Deep Sea Killer has realized its mistake. Deep Sea Will, try touching it. This time it shouldn't hurt you anymore."

Deep Sea Will stared wide-eyed at the military knife that Little White handed over.

After being scolded by Xiaobai, the Deep Sea Killer seemed to have suffered a great blow. The once straight blade went completely limp, like a rubber toy in the middle of summer, and hung limply in Xiaobai's hand, completely unlike its previous imposing appearance.

After thinking for a while, the Will of the Deep Sea silently reached out and grasped the hilt of the Deep Sea Killer's knife.

The Will of the Deep Sea unharmed lifted the Deep Sea Killer.

really.

Just as Xiaobai said, the Deep Sea Killer no longer rejects the touch of the Deep Sea Will.

However, it's only to the point of not being opposed to it.

The military knife, which once held immense power in Xiaobai's hands and seemed capable of cutting through everything in the world, now resembled a salted fish that had lost its dreams; the sharp aura within the blade had vanished completely.

"As expected, you can pick up the Deep Sea Will now." Little White looked at the Deep Sea Will holding the Deep Sea Killer with a gratified expression.

"..." The Will of the Deep Sea glanced at Little White and handed the limp Deep Sea Killer back to Little White, "Hmm, here you go."

"Huh? Aren't you going to hold hands a little longer?"

“That’s enough,” the Deep Sea Will replied. “It would prefer to stay in your hands.”

"Is that so..." Xiaobai muttered doubtfully as she accepted the Deep Sea Killer.

brush!

Just as the Deep Sea Killer returned to Xiaobai's hands, a white light flashed before Xiaobai and the Deep Sea Will's eyes. Then they saw the Deep Sea Killer's limp blade suddenly stand up, with sharp blade light constantly swirling around the tip, and a buzzing echo resounding. The Deep Sea Killer had transformed from its lazy mode back into the divine weapon that could cut through everything.

Seeing this, Xiaobai couldn't help but raise the Deep Sea Killer and mutter something to it.

"It's really true... What's so great about my place?"

"Om-"

The only response to Xiaobai's question was a clear and long metallic ringing sound.
