Chapter 579 - 575: Female
The system was stunned as well.
"Yes, what is happening here?"
The system was also baffled.
The system was even worried that there might be danger if the little merfolk followed along.
But then it seemed to remember something, and said, "That’s right, host, do you remember when the High Priest of the Sea Clan mentioned that the child in your belly was the Sea God?"
"As soon as you got pregnant, he felt that the Sea Clan was going to give birth to a Sea God."
Su Muyao slightly regained her composure, "So, you mean that the child was supposed to enter the Ascension Road to become the Sea God?"
"But she’s too young."
The system said, "Exactly, if we wait until she grows up a bit and the Ascension Road opens for her, it might be too late to save the Beast World."
"So she might have given her Sea God’s Power to Wei Jinmo from the very beginning."
"Originally, Wei Jinmo also had the Sea God’s Power, and with the little merfolk’s help, his Sea God’s Power fully awakened, opening the Ascension Road for him."
"But on the road to the Divine Domain, the little merfolk still needed to assist him, so she went with him into the Ascension Road."
With the system’s explanation, Su Muyao understood.
When she first arrived at the Sea Clan and saw Wei Jinmo, she noticed his power growing rapidly.
He had advanced directly from Level 20 to Level 26.
So this was the reason.
When the light finally dissipated, the Sea Clan returned to tranquility.
Once the light faded, people outside could come in.
The Sea Emperor, the High Priest, and all the elders rushed over.
They had just been blocked outside by this divine light and couldn’t get close at all.
Now that the light had faded, they could finally approach.
They knocked on the door immediately.
After all, this was Wei Jinmo’s chamber, and Su Muyao also lived there, so they naturally couldn’t enter uninvited.
Su Muyao, already dressed and ready, opened the door.
Seeing the people outside, including the Sea Emperor and High Priest, she said, "Let’s talk in the study next door."
In the study, Su Muyao briefly explained the situation.
Knowing they were eager to understand, she got straight to the point without needing them to ask.
The Sea Emperor and the elders were thrilled, some even secretly wiping away tears.
"Our Sea Clan will finally have a Sea God. With a Sea God, the factions within our Sea Clan will cease their fighting, and the sea territories will no longer be divided."
"The Sea God will protect our entire Sea Clan."
The Sea God holds the Rule Power governing the entire Sea Clan, acting as the Beast God of the whole Beast World.
The Sea Emperor, especially, was too excited to speak.
His son had become the Sea God.
But the Sea Emperor also knew that this change likely came because of his son’s wife.
Miss Su was a Lucky Immortal Beastman, naturally extraordinary.
So there wasn’t a hint of disrespect toward Su Muyao; instead, everyone treated her with utmost respect and politeness.
The High Priest said, "It’s strange, though; normally, it should be your child becoming the Sea God, for she is a born Sea God."
Su Muyao said, "She probably gave the Sea God’s Power to Wei Jinmo and went with him into the Ascension Road..."
Su Muyao disclosed this as well.
After overcoming the initial shock, the High Priest understood it all at once.
The Sea Emperor was dumbfounded, "What, my granddaughter emerged from the egg?"
"I haven’t even seen my granddaughter, and she’s already going to the Divine Domain?"
"And she’s a granddaughter, a female; our Merfolk Royal Family finally has a female, and it’s exhilarating."
A female!
The many elders were thrilled to hear this, though regretful that they didn’t get to see the Little Prince.
The High Priest said, "No need to worry. After becoming a Beast God and entering the Divine Domain, they will have a chance to return."
However, the High Priest felt that Beast Gods, once deified, might no longer hold personal ties dearly and might not return.
Overall, the emergence of a Sea God in the Sea Clan was something everyone was hoping for.
He believed that with Wei Jinmo’s ability, he would surely enter the Divine Domain and become a Beast God smoothly.
...
Whale Clan
This divine light spread throughout the entire sea region, and the Whale Clan naturally sensed it, too.
Some whale beastmen, previously stuck at a power bottleneck, suddenly broke through under this divine illumination.
The Clan Leader of the Whale Clan looked at his son and remarked, "The Sea Emperor has indeed given birth to a fine son."
"I remember a year ago, the Fifth Prince of the Sea Emperor wasn’t very powerful, but after choosing a good Female Master, not only did his power increase rapidly, but that female also gave birth to a pureblood merfolk child for him."
"Had I known, I would have sent you to live on land back then."
"Don’t just focus on cultivation; seize the opportunity to find a female master and marry."
The Clan Leader of the Whale Clan envied the Sea Emperor.
He believed his son’s talent was exceptional and had great hopes for him, but alas, some things cannot be achieved through talent and effort alone.
Wei Jinmo truly had a good eye.
The last time the Second Prince and the Ji Family united with multiple forces to rebel, they were about to succeed, but that female thwarted their efforts.
Bai Junmian’s expression was somewhat dark and complex; despite all his efforts, he couldn’t match Wei Jinmo in terms of power.
He still remembered confronting Wei Jinmo by the sea over his sister’s matter, seeing that beautiful and enchanting female, thinking she was just a superficial beauty that mesmerized Wei Jinmo. Compared to his sister who was revered as the Holy Female, he never imagined that she was the Immortal Phoenix.
Though the Sea Emperor ordered the news to be sealed, the Whale Clan still learned of it.
Bai Junrong, Bai Junmian’s sister, was always unwilling to accept it, now slumped in her chair dejectedly, "So he’s become a god, hasn’t he?"
"So once that female returns, he becomes a god; that’s his destiny."
How could she not understand that all of this was connected to the female named Su Muyao?
Previously, she thought she was the Holy Female, admired by all in the Sea Clan. At that time, Wei Jinmo was just the Fifth Prince, not even the Crown Prince, not even the strongest.
But she was enchanted at first sight by his looks and temperament; such a demeanor was genuinely hard to resist.
Yet even at the palace banquet, he didn’t spare her a glance.
Not just her; he paid no attention to any female.
She thought it was simply his nature; the Sea Emperor’s intention to form an alliance with the Whale Clan was to bolster Wei Jinmo’s position, allowing the Whale Clan to support him in ascending to the throne.
Yet Wei Jinmo refused, having never been rejected before; she could have chosen any prince she wanted.
She was unwilling to accept it, but events proved that Wei Jinmo indeed had a keen eye.
She had to respect that.
If she were a beastman, she would have chosen that female too.
The Clan Leader of the Whale Clan said, "Ever since the disappearance of the Sea God Emperor ten thousand years ago, the Sea Clan’s factions have been fractious, none submitting to the other, not even us to the Sea Emperor."
"Now there’s no more contention; with the Sea Emperor reborn, uniting the Sea Clan forces, there’s no need for further dispute."
It wasn’t just the Whale Clan feeling this way; other factions held meetings, and any small schemes and plans were dismissed.
The Sea God’s birth meant a simple gesture could easily eradicate them all.
Not to mention that he controlled all the power of the entire sea.
...
On the other side
Wen Nanxi, upon entering the Cang Beast Continent and searching around without finding Su Muyao, realized that they had likely landed in different locations.
Recalling what they had discussed earlier, he decided to head first to the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan to await their reunion.
On the way to Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan, he seemed to notice changes over the sea in the distance, remembering Su Muyao mentioned she would visit the Sea Clan, so he turned and intended to head to the seaside to take a look.
But when passing through a dense forest, Wen Nanxi felt something and suddenly stopped.
"Following me for this long, not coming out?"
Wen Nanxi didn’t sense any killing intent, so he didn’t make a move.
As that voice echoed, Jing Chu descended slowly from above.
