Chapter 678: The Sea God's Inheritance

Before Tang San could become a God King once more, he absolutely did not have this ability. And once he did achieve it, he would have to leave this plane; otherwise, he would completely destroy it. With his profound understanding of the truths of the universe, he naturally wouldn't do something that could cause the destruction of an entire plane. Moreover, over the past decade, his increasing understanding of Falan Planet had given him even more far-reaching thoughts.

To resist the will of the universe was by no means an easy task, but if one did not resist, the universe's will would, without a question, destroy any perceived threats.

Perhaps the divine realm he had once inhabited had grown too rapidly, and that was what had led to the disaster that ultimately caused his wife's death. Tang San had since harbored a desire in his heart: how to gain the ability to resist the will of the universe. But this wasn’t something he could achieve alone, nor could it be done solely by one divine realm, no matter how powerful. He already had some ideas, but it would take a very long time to bring them to fruition. In his plans, Falan Planet held a crucial position.

Gazing at the sea, Tang San closed his eyes, extending his spiritual power and divine consciousness towards the ocean, silently sensing the energy fluctuations within it. Since he had already reached a bottleneck, he didn’t dare to recklessly absorb the energy from the Endless Blue Sea. However, given that there were no Emperors in the Endless Blue Sea at present, and considering the influence brought by his Sea God position, there truly wasn’t anything in the sea that could threaten him.

Even Great Sea Kings would find their strength diminished when facing his Sea God aura. At this point, he could fully contend with opponents at the Sea King level. If push came to shove, he could still escape using the Peacock Transformation.

Tang San was also considering whether to establish a long-distance teleportation array here. A distance of eight hundred or so nautical miles wasn't too much for a teleportation array. However, the resources consumed during teleportation would be significant. For a small number of people, it wouldn’t be a problem, but for tens or hundreds of thousands, the cost would be too great. Therefore, sea transport was still the most ideal.

Of course, the teleportation array wasn’t out of the question; it would at least make it convenient for him or Mei Gongzi to come here.

If the entire Peacock Demon clan could assist with the teleportation, the resource consumption would be much smaller. However, the problem was that the Peacock Demon clan had not yet fully pledged their loyalty to Mei Gongzi, making this too risky. The plan to establish a human settlement overseas had to be kept strictly confidential. Otherwise, if an Emperor decided to pay them a visit, all their efforts would have been for naught.

Time passed as he communed with the sea, and before he knew it, Tang San’s spiritual power detected a surge of energy deep within the ocean.

It wasn’t long before dozens of massive figures appeared within his spiritual perception.

The size of the sea beasts’ bodies seemed to be proportional to their strength. As the Sea Walrus clan elder gradually approached the shore, Tang San could tell that none of the beings following behind it were less than fifteen meters long.

Soon, one colossal figure after another emerged from the water.

Tang San immediately noticed an enormous figure with twin horns on its head and a massive body covered in dark blue scales. This being was over forty meters long, with a pair of gigantic eyes radiating immense pressure. Its colossal form slowly rose from the sea, looking in Tang San’s direction.

Sea Dragon!

Immediately after, another massive figure slowly stood up beside it. This one resembled a human somewhat, with a head and limbs that were quite similar, except it had no hair on its head—only something akin to a fin. Similar fin-like structures were present on its arms and legs as well. This figure was over thirty meters tall, with extremely sturdy limbs.

Sea Giant!

Tang San had previously heard from the Sea Shark Clan that the most powerful among the sea clans were the Sea Dragon clan and the Sea Giant clan. They were the overlords of the Endless Blue Sea. However, their populations were not very large, and they were not excessively domineering, so the other clans had plenty of room to thrive.

The Sea Shark clan were some of the more ferocious beings of the sea, so they were not well-liked by other clans. The Sea Walruses, on the other hand, had a relatively gentler temperament.

The Sea Walrus clan elder had brought back three members of the Sea Dragon Clan, with the leader being the one over forty meters long. There were as many as seven Sea Giants, each with a massive body that radiated strength.

The Sea Walrus Clan had actually come with a good number of members, while the Sea Shark Clan was absent. Obviously, this was the result of the poor relations between the Sea Walrus Clan and the Sea Shark Clan.

As the numerous sea beasts gathered together, a powerful aura immediately emanated from them. Especially from the massive Sea Dragon, whose wild aura caused the surrounding waves to become turbulent. The sea relentlessly crashed toward the shore.

"Human, are you the one claiming to be the Sea God?" the Sea Dragon Clan powerhouse growled in a deep voice. It seemed that some of the beasts here could actually speak the common language, which surprised Tang San somewhat, considering the contact with the continent was extremely limited.

But even though the Sea Dragon leader had addressed him using words, Tang San didn’t respond in kind. That was not the appropriate answer. In this world where the strong preyed on the weak, strength was the answer to every question.

The golden trident mark on his forehead glowed once again, and the raging sea instantly calmed down. A massive amount of faith energy from the lower-level sea beasts of the Endless Blue Sea surged toward Tang San, rapidly elevating his aura.

Although he could not absorb these energies for cultivation to avoid triggering a heavenly tribulation, using the faith energy to activate the Sea God's Trident's aura posed no problem. This time, Tang San really had to refrain from triggering the heavenly tribulation again. He was concerned that if he overdid it and couldn’t control it, it would lead to big trouble.

A giant pale-golden shadow slowly emerged behind him, and the Sea God's aura burst forth instantly.

It was clearly visible that as soon as Tang San released the Sea God's aura, the pupils of the Sea Dragon leader shrank instantly. The scales on its body bristled rapidly.

The Sea Giant leader beside it also had a change in expression. They could all distinctly feel that in that instant, it was as if they had been isolated from the sea, and the human standing on the shore had become the very center of the ocean.

How is this possible? Feeling the aura emanating from Tang San, the sea clan powerhouses couldn’t help but fall silent.

Only then did Tang San speak up. "I have grown under the favor of the sea, and I am also its protector. I’ve come this time hoping to communicate with the sea clans and become your friend."

The Sea Giant leader suddenly said, "Does the sea truly favor you? You possess a powerful artifact that affects the sea's aura. That’s not your own power. You claim to be the sea’s protector, but where does your power come from?"

Tang San calmly replied, "I have inherited the power of the Sea God."

The Sea Dragon leader let out a low growl. "There is no Sea God in the Endless Blue Sea."

Tang San glanced at it and coldly replied, "That was before. Now, there is."

The Sea Dragon let out a roar toward the sky, and blue light surged around it. Its massive body gradually shrank, transforming into a humanoid form that hovered above the sea. "Cunning human, you're not even a Sea King, so what gives you the right to speak such grand words? Do you intend to control our sea clans?"

Tang San calmly replied, "Whether I'm a Sea King or not is irrelevant. I can bring a future to the sea clans."

The Sea Giant leader frowned and asked, "What future?"

Tang San said, "A future where the sea clans can also have their own Emperors."

The Sea Giant leader and the Sea Dragon leader were both stunned momentarily. The Sea Walrus clan elder beside them exclaimed in surprise, "Are you serious? If that's true, then we—"

Before it could finish speaking, the Sea Dragon Clan leader cut it off. "How can you believe him just like that? Human, if you have the guts, fight me. If you can defeat me, then I'll believe you."
