Chapter 42 Faith Shaking
"Then go find someone prettier than you, and I'll stop eyeing you."
Xiao Lin coaxed him with a straight face.
"Hmm...no..."
The sea witch frowned, trying to recall all the good-looking people in her tribe.
"Then there's nothing we can do."
"Even if you force me, you won't be satisfied. I have a suggestion: if you agree, I will willingly serve you!"
The sea witch had an idea and quickly said...
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Xiao Lin looked at the almost extremely low progress value, his eyes filled with calm.
"If you repair the Seven Sacred Pillars, I will willingly serve you, how about it?"
The sea witch didn't believe this man could repair the Seven Pillars; as long as he agreed, she would be safe.
"What, you can only destroy, not repair? So the legendary dragon is nothing special after all..."
She secretly observed his expression. With the strength to defeat the High Priest, he must be arrogant and proud. He couldn't possibly refuse after this provocation.
"You're right, dragons have many branches. My power is destruction, not repair. Those seven sacred pillars have stood in the sea for so many years, I don't see them being of much use, do I?"
Xiao Lin didn't buy into her act at all, and instead began to mock the seven sacred pillars.
"Nonsense! The seven sacred pillars erected by the Sea God have benefited future generations. You know nothing about them, so how can you say the sacred pillars are useless?"
The sea witch puffed up her cheeks in anger. How could she have encountered such an unreasonable dragon!
"I think the purpose of that sacred pillar is nothing more than to pave the way for the next sea god. As for you, you are just stepping stones on his path to godhood."
"You're talking nonsense!"
"Nonsense? The final step to becoming a god should be sacrificing your high priest, right? If even the high priest is sacrificed, what use are you, the guardians of the Seven Sacred Pillars? You're nothing more than wedding gowns for the next sea god."
Xiao Lin looked at the alluring and adorable sea witch.
"No one qualified to inherit the throne of the Sea God has appeared for many years, and perhaps there will never be a next Sea God. Your words cannot shake my belief!"
The sea witch's eyes were resolute; she would not waver in her faith in the sea god because of a few words from the other party, even if what the other party said was true.
"His appearance is not far off, perhaps in the next few years, maybe even tomorrow. When that time comes, the island of Poseidon will change hands, the high priest Poseidon will offer sacrifices, and a new sea god will stand above you. His appearance will not bring any benefit to your mermaid clan."
Xiao Lin spoke with a serious expression. He knew that this sea witch had the ability to read minds, so her inner thoughts and words were exactly the same.
How do you know all this?
Upon hearing this, the sea witch wavered; her mind-reading ability told her that the man was telling the truth.
"Naturally, the stone statue told me that it has the ability to foresee the future, which is a rare ability."
"Stone statue?"
The sea witch thought of the round-bellied baby dragon statue from before and wondered if the statue really had such power.
Wasn't it said that this stone statue was carved based on this person?
Seeing the suspicion on her face, Xiao Lin thought to himself, "What Seagod Island? It's just a place for the Seagod to raise batch after batch of leeks. What Demon Soul Great White Shark? It will all become a Soul Ring, and Seagod Island will become the territory of land-based Soul Masters."
The Sea Witch's gaze narrowed slightly. Why should their Seagod Island be subject to land-based Soul Masters? Could it be that the future Seagod is a Soul Master from the mainland?!
"Who is that successor to the Sea God!?"
The sea witch was impatient
"Heavenly secrets must not be revealed."
Xiao Lin smiled mysteriously, deliberately whetting the sea witch's appetite. The difference in their soul power was vast, and what she could hear was only what he wanted her to hear.
"What do you mean 'secrets of heaven cannot be revealed'? You've said so much already, why bother with a few words?"
The Sea Demon Goddess looked anxious; she wouldn't allow the territory of the Sea Soul Masters to be taken over by the Land Soul Masters.
"Want to know? Why should I tell you? Go back to your sea god, maybe he'll give you the answer. Oh, and by the way, could you also report me for stealing his territory and see how he reacts?"
Xiao Lin's expression was mocking; it seemed this sea witch was quite loyal to the high priest.
"What will it take for you to tell me?"
The sea witch was anxious, but there was nothing she could do.
"You lead the way to worship that stone statue, and I'll tell you."
"That's impossible! We Sea Soul Masters are only loyal to the Sea God, not to any dragon race!"
The sea goddess's expression was resolute; she would not betray the sea god.
"Then there's nothing I can do. If the Sea God can destroy your tribe, so can I. All living beings on Sea God Island, if you don't worship, you will die."
A murderous glint appeared in Xiao Lin's eyes, and the air in the room instantly turned extremely cold.
"What do you mean by that? Do you mean that since the Soul Masters of Seagod Island don't worship that stone statue, you're going to slaughter the entire island?!"
The sea witch was shocked. Who on earth was this person in front of her?
"You got it right. If you don't want to worship, that's fine. There will always be someone who will. There are plenty of people in the world who crave power, so one more Seagod Island won't make a difference."
Xiao Lin's eyes were indifferent. If the soul masters on Seagod Island were so steadfast in their faith, then he could only send their souls to meet the Seagod.
"By the way, from now on this place will no longer be called Sea God Island, but Demon Dragon Island, and the only thing the people here worship and believe in is the Demon Dragon."
"You're delusional!"
The sea witch got up, about to resist, when she noticed a black light rising outside the window.
"Look, there are quite a few people who crave power, but you Sea Soul Masters don't seem to have much faith in the Sea God."
Xiao Lin looked out the window at the faint black light.
"Scumbag!"
The sea witch looked furious; she never expected that someone would change their faith so soon, less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
"Hahahaha... My soul power! I've broken through!"
On the plaza of Haima City, a hunched figure burst into wild laughter, and an aura of Contra permeated the air, drawing incredulous glances from those nearby.
"How could that be? Old Lu has been stuck at level 79 for so many years, how could he possibly break through just by bowing to that stone statue?"
"Moreover, it broke through two levels. This ability is truly no less than that of the Holy Pillar..."
A group of Sea Soul Masters gathered in front of the stone statue, their eyes filled with doubt.
"How about we give it a try?"
"No, we worship the Sea God. To worship this dragon statue would be a betrayal of the Sea God!"
"But we've been stuck at the Soul Emperor realm for so many years, and at our age, unless we have some major stroke of luck, we're destined to never reach the Soul Douluo level. Why not give it a try? Even the High Priest was defeated by that person, so this dragon must be no less powerful than the Sea God!"
"I'll go pray!"
"I'm going too!"
Some Sea Soul Masters whose cultivation progressed slowly stepped forward and followed the old man's example, bowing to the stone statue.
