Chapter 577 - 573: Resonance
One must know, Yue Wuhen is a pure-blooded Moon Deer Beastman from the Witch Clan, and his blood is the Wushan Divine Blood.
His sacrifice was unlike an ordinary one; it was both his flesh and divine soul that he offered to save Su Muyao.
Generally speaking, under such circumstances, resurrection is actually impossible.
But perhaps heaven and earth have blessed the Witch Clan, leaving a glimmer of hope.
He is Su Muyao’s Beast Husband, and she carries his Contracted Divine Sense in her, plus he sacrificed himself to revive Su Muyao, using Su Muyao’s Heart Blood as a guide, igniting the Soul Gathering Lamp, which can gather his scattered soul remnants amidst the heaven and earth that barely exist.
But this process will be really slow.
If it takes too long and the flame of the Soul Gathering Lamp extinguishes one day, he won’t be able to be resurrected.
Fortunately, Su Muyao truly is a blessed one, able to find treasures others can’t.
And so, a miracle happened.
"He came back to life, didn’t he?"
Su Muyao almost cried tears of joy, with Wei Jinmo gently supporting her by her side.
Wei Jinmo watched her with a loving gaze, silently accompanying her.
He also hoped Yue Wuhen would resurrect and return soon.
The High Priest spoke, "Not yet, but soon."
"Looking at the current effect of the Soul Gathering Lamp, he might be resurrected in a few days, at the most a few months."
He knew as long as they kept the Soul Gathering Lamp alight, and gathered all the fragmented soul remnants scattered across the earth.
The deceased pure-blooded Witch Beastman Yue Wuhen would eventually regain new life.
He believed the reborn Witch Beastman would not have the same ability as before.
According to the records in the ancient books collected by the Sea Clan, after Yue Wuhen is revived, he may reappear with the Divine Skills of the Witch Clan.
At this moment, the light of the Soul Gathering Lamp seemed to penetrate through the palace, cutting a dazzling streak through the sea and the night sky beyond the ocean, becoming the sole guide for the wandering souls to return home.
Now that the High Priest has given a timeframe, Su Muyao’s heart is no longer uneasy.
As long as he can be revived, that’s all that matters.
Soon, the outline of a shadow turned into purple light, swirling around the Soul Gathering Lamp.
The High Priest gave Su Muyao an explanation, telling Su Muyao and Wei Jinmo to go back first.
Because staying there wouldn’t help.
Su Muyao nodded, then returned to his palace with Wei Jinmo to rest.
In the few days they lived in the Sea Clan Palace, Wei Jinmo was the one who personally took care of Su Muyao.
He prepared many spiritual treasures for her to nourish her body.
She could feel his care and kindness towards her.
At night, when Su Muyao slept nestled in Wei Jinmo’s embrace, listening to his heartbeat, she felt a sense of peace.
"Jin Mo, thank you for your hard work."
Wei Jinmo gently held Su Muyao, speaking in a warm voice, "Wife, it’s a joy to be able to take care of you."
Even just watching her fills his heart.
Of course, after being apart for so long, when Wei Jinmo held Su Muyao, he almost couldn’t control the emotions surging inside him.
But he still considered her health, so he restrained himself.
He didn’t dare hold her too tightly; when he embraced her, his breath was also fiery.
The system spoke up: "Host, your body is fine, not that fragile. Forming a contract with Wei Jinmo at this time will benefit both him and your body, without any harm."
"No need to be so careful."
Su Muyao paused, somewhat uncertainly communicating with the system: "Can I really do that?"
"The little one is very clever, won’t she sense it?"
"No, I’ve shielded her from all awareness for you; she’s asleep, unable to sense anything."
"Host, Wei Jinmo carries the Sea God’s Power. Forming a contract with him can unlock his body’s potential and help him quickly awaken to gain stronger Sea God Power, while you will be nourished by the Sea God’s Power too, which is beneficial for your divine soul."
"It may even trigger some changes in the sea."
This is what the system sensed.
Su Muyao thought about it, then hesitated no longer.
She actually missed Wei Jinmo, but because she had a mission, she had to do certain things.
But she loves him.
Feeling his restraint and patience, she also felt tenderness.
She wanted to compensate him.
Wanted to love him too.
Su Muyao knew Wei Jinmo hadn’t slept; she reached out, wrapping her arms around his neck, and approached him, lightly touching his Adam’s apple with her lips.
Wei Jinmo almost couldn’t bear it, his body jolting.
He replied in a slightly hoarse voice, "Wife, can’t sleep?"
He thought she had just accidentally bumped him.
Su Muyao shifted upward, letting her lips fall on the corner of his mouth.
This time Wei Jinmo understood her intention, his entire being ignited with heat.
Whatever his wife desired, as her Beast Husband, he should fulfill her every need.
Moreover, it was something he craved too.
But Wei Jinmo still considered her health.
He feared he might lose his rationality if he indulged too much.
Previously, he wouldn’t have thought this way, but after forming a contract, he knew the taste of it.
Wei Jinmo lowered his head, gently kissing Su Muyao, soothing her, explaining in a hoarse voice, "Wife, I want to, but I fear it might harm your body."
Su Muyao explained softly in Wei Jinmo’s ear.
Wei Jinmo did not doubt her words, finally holding her, letting the surge of emotions within them drown them.
...
But who could have imagined, after they formed a contract, it truly triggered the Sea God’s Power across the entire ocean.
Helping Wei Jinmo awaken the Sea God’s Divine Power.
The entire sea area seemed to have golden light falling, penetrating the ocean.
The light shone into Wei Jinmo’s sleeping quarters, glittering towards the nearby egg.
Wei Jinmo only felt something dormant inside him, like a seed breaking through the soil.
This force suddenly rushed into his body, becoming fervently agitated.
This power nearly overwhelmed Wei Jinmo.
He suddenly sat upright, transforming back into his original form, his tail fin instinctively flapping against the bed’s edge, the water droplets that splashed forming delicate light beads in the air.
The ancient and mysterious blue light swirled around him, enchanting and beautiful.
The system sensed the movement, shouting in surprise, "Host, why such a commotion?"
After forming a contract with Wei Jinmo, Su Muyao was initially feeling the enhanced power within her.
At this moment, witnessing the scene, she murmured, "This looks remarkably like the Sea God Source Power recorded in Yue Wuhen’s translated ancient bamboo slips."
"Buzz..."
As Wei Jinmo floated and sank, he felt his bones echoing a deep resonance, his azure-blue eyes like glazed tiles instantly revealing silver-blue divine patterns.
The Merfolk Beast bloodline within him was being restructured, and the inherently beautiful mermaid scales seemed to acquire a new layer of iridescent blue armor, each scale edged with delicate golden light.
The most astonishing sight was his tail fin, suddenly revealing intricate Sea God Totems, as if woven from starlight.
The trident mark on his forehead emerged, becoming even more brilliant.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the sound of thunder rumbled.
This thunderous sound was not from above the palace but resounded from the depths of the seabed beneath the palace.
Following that, the palace began to tremble violently, the previously calm sea outside rolled into massive whirlpools, countless fish leaping out of the water, bowing towards the direction of the sleeping quarters.
"The Sea God is about to descend."
"Is it our Little Prince about to hatch?"
"It should be; it’s said the Little Prince will become the new Sea God."
"No, this should be the aura of our Crown Prince."
"But I’ve heard it’s not easy for the Sea God to descend."
"But this is the power of the Sea God."
At this moment, the luminous trident on Wei Jinmo’s forehead grew brighter and brighter, projecting a massive trident shadow above the palace, seemingly resonating with the sea creatures’ reverence below.
