#885 - The Sea God Returns, Message from the God Realm
This is an internal anomaly within the瀚海乾坤罩 (Hanhai Qiankun Cover), but it's worth noting that this anomaly isn't strong. On the contrary, it's not only slight but also very stable.
It looks more like a summons than a probe.
Quan Yi held the烈阳之心 (Lieyang Heart) in his palm, pondering for a moment.
Then, within the golden furnace, he took out the 瀚海乾坤罩 (Hanhai Qiankun Cover).
The artifact, freed from the restraints of the 烈阳之心 (Lieyang Heart), emitted a blue, shimmering light, rendering the space the color of the ocean.
Within the surging power of the瀚海 (Hanhai), a distinct divine thought wave was rapidly intensifying.
The triangular gemstone floated into the air on its own, projecting a golden light, and the Sea God's divine thought descended before Quan Yi once more.
"Connected!"
The Sea God, in his divine thought state, reacted with joy as his first response upon emerging.
Before the communication, he was anxious about whether Quan Yi would choose to connect with him. He hadn't expected his attempt to be so smooth this time.
It even gave him a feeling of being 'unexpectedly favored'.
During this time, the 瀚海乾坤罩 (Hanhai Qiankun Cover) was sealed, and he didn't dare use his divine sense or other means to observe the perceptive Quan Yi, so it was basically equivalent to losing an eye.
Now that he excitedly opened this eye, he found that he couldn't determine where this place was.
"Oh, this isn't Douluo Continent; it looks like some other demi-plane."
The Sea God first noticed the abnormality of the surrounding environment.
The golden-jade furnace where Quan Yi was located and the shadow space outside were both alien spaces detached from the continent. The superposition of the dual alien spaces meant that if it weren't for the 瀚海乾坤罩 (Hanhai Qiankun Cover), he might not have been able to contact Quan Yi.
Quan Yi remained extremely calm in the face of the curious Sea God. After greeting him with a fist salute, he asked directly, "Senior Sea God, is there something urgent that you summoned me for?"
The Sea God's consciousness noticed Quan Yi and was about to reply, but then he noticed Quan Yi's difference.
In the sealed golden furnace space, Quan Yi was wearing casual clothes, standing casually in front of him.
He was so relaxed that it was as if he were meeting relatives and friends.
'This kid is completely different from how he was when we first met.'
The Sea God clearly remembered the scene of Quan Yi standing before him fully armed, but now, Quan Yi's meeting with him seemed effortless, without the slightest hint of tension.
And what shocked him even more was that, compared to when he was sharp and assertive, this feeling of concealing his edge, making it impossible for him to understand even a bit, was even more oppressive.
"It hasn't been long, but you've changed a lot, kid!"
Quan Yi responded with a brief sentence.
"All thanks to you."
The scene fell into an eerie silence because of this sentence.
The Sea God couldn't bear this awkward atmosphere and spoke first, "Ah, I contacted you this time not for anything else, but to ask you about something."
Quan Yi raised an eyebrow, not at all surprised.
"Senior has imparted much knowledge of the God Realm to me. As long as it's something I can answer, I will definitely not hold back."
This stiff and somewhat distant answer made the Sea God subconsciously feel uncomfortable.
But soon, he understood the root of this discomfort, which was that the scales of their status were quietly leveling out, rather than him occupying the original high position.
The Sea God's thoughts fluctuated, but he quickly adjusted his mindset.
He stopped probing and instead directly attacked:
"Have you done anything significant recently?"
As soon as these words came out, the strands of solar law hidden within Quan Yi's Niwan Palace issued a warning-like tremor.
Of course, he didn't continue to provoke this hedgehog-like child.
"Recently, the God Realm sounded an alarm, causing the five Supreme God-Kings to gather together for a meeting of the God Realm Committee.
Although I'm not sure what exactly happened, the Asura God, as the enforcer of the God Realm, wants to contact you.
And I'm just the intermediary."
God-King!
God Realm Enforcer!
Quan Yi's unchanging expression finally became serious after hearing these words.
He tentatively asked, "Why would His Excellency the Asura God pay attention to me, a small soul master? I shouldn't have violated the laws of the God Realm, right?"
Even as he said this, the mark of the Killing God Domain flashed through Quan Yi's mind.
'That divine thought from back then was the Asura God's divine thought.
Could it be that the meeting back then exposed my divine power and caught the Asura God's attention?'
The Sea God looked at Quan Yi meaningfully and said, "Don't worry. Although the Asura God seems cold, he is upright and just. He just wants to ask you some questions; he's not looking for trouble.
He's in a meeting right now. When he comes out, do you need me to connect you two?"
Quan Yi fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he sorted out his chaotic thoughts, raised his head, and asked, "How long before His Excellency the Asura God finishes the meeting?"
The Sea God was slightly surprised by Quan Yi's question.
But he still answered, "It's rare for the five God-Kings to gather, and although I don't know the specific end time, it will be at least a day.
Converted to the time of the continent, it may be a year from now."
Hearing this answer, Quan Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"In that case, I agree to contact His Excellency the Asura God."
The Sea God saw the firm look in Quan Yi's eyes and marveled at his courage and will.
"Are you sure? If you feel burdened, I can decline him on your behalf."
The Sea God didn't force Quan Yi but gave him a choice.
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior, but this matter is unavoidable, and I don't want to make things difficult for you.
However, I would like to ask Senior to do me a favor, which is to set the contact time for today a year from now.
If the meeting is extended, then the meeting time will continue to be extended."
The Sea God understood Quan Yi's meaning; he wanted a year to prepare.
"Okay, this small matter is no problem at all."
"Okay, then it's settled."
After seeing off the Sea God, Quan Yi took the 瀚海乾坤罩 (Hanhai Qiankun Cover) and stored it in the 烈阳之心 (Lieyang Heart).
When the surroundings returned to silence, he sighed softly.
"It really doesn't let people rest easy."
But then, his expression became firm. After adjusting his mindset, Quan Yi walked out of the shadow space with a calm smile.
Outside the dark space, a brightly lit large villa was revealed.
Through the transparent glass, Quan Yi saw his family gathered around the dining table, waiting for his arrival.
Huo Wu, who was the first to notice Quan Yi, looked at Quan Yi in surprise and waved, "Everyone, look who's here."
Following Huo Wu's guidance, Quan Yi's parents and sister happily welcomed his arrival.
Walking into the house and smelling the scent of home, the smile on Quan Yi's face grew even brighter.
"I'm back."
Returning home, the disturbances from the outside world were completely cut off, which also made him more determined to protect his home.
