Chapter 307: Section 95: Extreme Risk
Feng Yao’s expression became slightly solemn, “This is the power of the Love God.”
“His curse is not simple; it will guide me.”
“I fell in love with the Charming Blue God, but I was expelled by Him and confined by the Fishmen. After suppressing the five-headed snake, the Love God’s curse guided me to track you down.”
“I understand the meaning of the guidance, Captain Long Fu. You have eliminated so many Fishman elites and bear a large number of Divine Arts imprints.”
“If I take care of you, I can obtain these imprints and once again enter the Half-plane to meet the Charming Blue God.”
Upon saying this, Feng Yao deeply sighed, “I deeply hate the Love God and know that this is a curse. But the power of the gods is so immense. I know full well that I am being toyed with by the Love God, and I also know that such pursuit will inevitably end in failure.”
...
“Yet, every time, every single time, I can’t help but follow the guidance to exert all my strength.”
Seeing the once Holy Domain Level powerhouse, a historic genius bard express such helpless, bleak emotions, the crowd felt even more wary of the gods.
The Dragon-man youth seemed thoughtful.
He pondered in secret, “Perhaps Feng Yao has misunderstood. The Love God’s curse guides him not because of the Divine Arts imprints on me, but because of Pearl Bubble.”
Pearl Bubble originates from the Mermaid’s Fairy Tale, and this Divine Artifact is the only Divine Artifact of the Charming Blue God’s Divine Power.
If Feng Yao knew this secret, he would definitely seize the artifact to please the Charming Blue God.
But he was completely distracted by the Divine Arts imprints and was unaware that the Justice Pirate Group possessed this artifact.
The Dragon-man youth fully understood the situation.
Pearl Bubble did not guard against the power of the Love God.
Because the Love God is far more powerful than the Charming Blue God!
The strength of gods is actually closely related to their Divine Office.
Love — is a very broad concept, including familial love, friendship, romance, philanthropy, indulgence, benevolence, compassion, and care, among others.
Of course, the Human Race’s Love God leans more towards romantic love.
Every living being experiences love.
The Divine Office of the Charming Blue God involves deception and disguise, which conceptually is much narrower in scope than “love” and tends to be negative.
Such a negatively skewed concept makes it difficult to gain popularity, presenting a natural disadvantage in the development of Believers.
Let’s not forget that the Charming Blue God is also a deity of another race.
An even more fatal factor is that in the realm of deception and disguise, there are Gods of Theft, Plunder, War, and so on.
With these powerful gods present, a latecomer like the Charming Blue God had no room for growth.
Apart from the reasons for the variation in gods’ powers, there was another factor.
That was the Justice Pirate Group’s usage of Pearl Bubble, which was too rudimentary and superficial.
If there were a priest or priest authorized by the Charming Blue God to use this Divine Artifact, Pearl Bubble would undoubtedly display the true power of its artifact class, unlike its current underwhelming performance.
The Dragon-man youth pondered for a moment, “Is there a way to transfer the Divine Arts imprints to you?”
Feng Yao shook his head, displaying a helpless look, “Unless a priest of the Charming Blue Divine Sect or someone of a higher Divine Office intervenes, there’s no way.”
“However, even without the Divine Arts imprints, we still have a chance of entering the Half-plane.”
“To my knowledge, there are at least three methods of entering the Half-plane.”
Feng Yao began to explain his information to everyone.
The first method of entry is through the Divine Arts imprints. With the Divine Arts imprints, one can be directly drawn into the Half-plane during the eruption of the Sky Pillar Sea Eye to participate in the Fish God’s trial.
This method is a hundred percent certain and the safest of all.
“`
The second method was to learn from the followers of the Evil God. Like those who used to dwell in the temple, they would hold prayers or conduct ceremonies when the Sky Pillar rose. If they gained the favor of the Gods, perhaps they would be pulled into the Half-plane.
This method was unreliable and basically had no pattern. Sometimes during an eruption, it could attract fifty to sixty believers, but sometimes not even one.
The third method, and the most straightforward one, was a frontal breakthrough.
Feng Yao slowly explained, “The eruption of the Sky Pillar Sea Eye has three stages. The first stage is the ascent, where the fountain rises from low to high. The second stage is the maintenance stage, where the giant fountain maintains at a certain height. The third stage is the descent, where the fountain falls from high to low, slowly descending until it disappears.”
“In the second stage, the Half-plane will connect with the Main World, forming a huge fissure through which ships can pass.”
“Through this fissure, we would be able to reach the Half-plane.”
“However, this route is also the most dangerous.”
“Every time this happens, the Holy Beast of the Charming Blue Divine Sect personally guards the fissure, blocking the entrance within the Half-plane.”
“When I originally broke through, it also took a lot of effort.”
The pirates of the Justice Pirate Group instantly turned pale.
Holy Beast!
As the name implies, it is a Magic Beast of Holy Domain Level.
According to the information from Sea Eye City, it should be the mother of the five-headed snake, Holy Domain Level six-headed snake.
The six-headed snake not only has one offspring, the Justice Pirate Group is up against the deep-sea multi-headed serpent clan.
In fact, just the single six-headed snake could annihilate the entire Justice Pirate Group.
The risks were very great.
If possible, the Dragon-man youth would never take such a risk.
But there was no choice!
Without the cover of Pearl Bubble, they were doomed.
So, even if the risks were great, the Justice Pirate Group had to give it a try.
The Dragon-man youth continued to ask Feng Yao for information about the interior of the Half-plane.
It must be said, they were lucky to get information from Feng Yao in time.
According to Feng Yao’s description, the space within the Half-plane was not large; the most prominent structure was the Charming Blue Divine Temple.
This temple was incredibly vast and majestic, like a mountain, standing in the midst of the sea.
The Charming Blue Divine Temple was thus divided into two parts.
Above the water surface was the Temple above the water, and the part of the temple that was below the water level was the Underwater Temple.
The two sections of the temple did not interconnect; to enter, one had to pass through the various absorption holes deep within the temple.
“If we have the Divine Arts imprint, we would be directly transported to the core area of the Underwater Temple.”
“If we force our way through, we need to enter the absorption holes and try our luck; if we’re lucky, we could enter the Underwater Temple. If not, we’d still be wandering in the Temple above the water.”
“There’s another problem,” Zong Ge inquired, “How should we leave the Half-plane?”
Feng Yao shook his head, “I was directly expelled by the Charming Blue Goddess, but logically speaking, to leave we would have to return the same way we came.”
“And time is of the essence.”
“Once the Sky Pillar fountain enters the third stage, the passage to and from the outside world and the Half-plane would disappear.”
“Everyone would be trapped in the Half-plane, like fish in a barrel.”
For a moment, the high ranks of the Justice Pirate Group all had very solemn expressions.
