NFBE Chapter 586 The Prophecy of the Sea God
Chapter 586 The Prophecy of the Sea God
On this day, Queen Hailan of the Mermaid Clan, along with the First Elder, Second Elder, the former Third Elder Bai Qi, Lan Hu, and Paopao, arrived at a temple beneath Crystal City.
The original Third Elder was tied up and held down by the First Elder and the Second Elder.
The temple was built from stones that emitted a blue glow.
Queen Hailan said, "This used to be the temple of the sea god."
The sea god has not performed any miracles for thousands of years.
The deep-sea creatures no longer worship him.
At the far end of the temple's main hall stands a five-meter-tall statue of the sea god holding a trident.
Lin Feng used his spiritual power to investigate and discovered that the statue was actually carved in the likeness of the people of Shenzhou.
Could it be that the former Sea God was once a martial artist from the Divine Land?
Queen Hailan walked up to a mural and said, "This is a prophecy about the sea god."
The prophecy has been interpreted.
This means that one day, an unseen powerful being will descend upon the deep sea, and he will restore the glory of the sea god to the world.
Everyone was shocked. The unseen powerful figure—wasn't that Bubble's master?
Lin Feng examined the mural and found that it was indeed true.
The mural features figures drawn with dotted lines, floating next to the head of a mermaid.
The objects drawn with dotted lines should represent the soul or spiritual entity.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng was also somewhat alarmed.
My arrival was actually predicted.
The high-ranking members of the mermaid clan have all been implanted with a spiritual imprint.
Lin Feng directly asked Queen Hailan through the mental imprint.
Who painted the mural?
Queen Hailan said, "It was drawn by the third queen."
The third queen was a prophet who could foresee the future.
Her predictions were accurate.
Just as the mermaid race was on the verge of extinction, we witnessed the arrival of a new sea god.
Queen Helen then walked to another mural.
"The content of this mural is..."
One day, a beam of light will shine into the seabed.
The underwater races will emerge from the sea, conquer the continent, and live under the sun.
Lin Feng frowned; this mural was rather intriguing.
Could it be that one day, a race from the deep sea will conquer the Chinese mainland?
Queen Hailan said, "Not all of the ancestors' prophecies are correct."
This mural still needs to be verified in the future.
Let's transfer the demonic energy first.
She led everyone to a room next to the main hall.
There were two translucent stone beds in the room that emitted a green glow.
Between the two stone beds, there are several transparent crystal tubes.
Queen Hailan said, "The demonic power transfer ceremony will be held here."
The success rate of the ceremony is only about one in ten.
Regardless of success or failure, the person being transferred will die.
The Third Elder, Bai Qi, struggled helplessly, sobbing.
His hands and feet were bound, and he had been starved for several days, so he couldn't break free at all.
Queen Hailan instructed the First and Second Elders to place the Third Elder, Bai Qi, on the stone bed on the left.
Then he had Blue Tiger lie down on the stone bed on the right.
Blue Tiger lay on the cold stone bed, still feeling a little nervous.
Queen Hailan said, "General Lanhu, there's no need to be nervous."
Whether you can successfully obtain demonic power depends on your fate.
Even if you fail, it won't affect you at all.
Lin Feng felt that this thing was more like a mechanical device, but he didn't know how it worked.
Queen Hailan stood on a high platform in the middle of the stone bed and recited a spell that Lin Feng could not understand.
Both stone beds glowed with a white light.
Numerous electric arcs surged from the stone bed where the Third Elder Bai Qi was located.
Arcs of electricity flickered in the crystal conduit between the two stone beds, but these arcs failed to pass through the crystal conduit and enter the stone bed on the right.
The stone bed where Blue Tiger was located did not react.
The Third Elder trembled incessantly from the electric shock.
About a minute later, the light on both stone beds disappeared completely.
The Third Elder was limp, his eyes wide open, and he had stopped breathing.
Nothing happened to Blue Tiger.
Queen Hailan sighed and said, "This transfer has failed."
"Elder, Second Elder, please bring the Fourth Elder down."
The First Elder and the Second Elder turned and left.
Lin Feng temporarily gave up on the idea of transferring demonic power.
This should be an unknown mechanical device.
I certainly can't create it myself, and my body can't enter the deep sea.
He is also unable to enter the Spirit Space; it seems that the Spirit Space is currently only for raising pets.
However, the little turtle can now be released from the living space.
This little guy is always dizzy, like he can't wake up.
Lin Feng named the little turtle Youyou.
It's not good to keep the little turtle cooped up in a small space all the time; it can easily lead to psychological problems.
Why not let the little turtle leisurely come out and keep Bubble company?
Once we leave the temple, we'll release the little turtle, Youyou.
Before long, the Fourth Elder, bound hand and foot, was brought to this room by the First Elder and the Second Elder.
The Fourth Elder was knocked unconscious and placed on a stone bed.
Queen Hailan began chanting incantations again.
The Fourth Elder's body crackled and popped incessantly with electric arcs.
He lasted longer than the Third Elder, and an electric arc entered the stone bed where Blue Tiger was through the crystal pipe.
Blue Tiger's body also trembled under the influence of the electric arc.
The ceremony ended after about two minutes.
Blue Tiger was covered in sweat and lay there panting heavily.
A smile appeared on Queen Hailan's face.
He said to Blue Tiger, "Congratulations, General Blue, the transfer of demonic power was successful. You have awakened your demonic power and become the new Fourth Elder of the clan."
Blue Tiger sat up, raised his hand, and channeled his demonic power into it.
A white light shone from his hands.
Blue Tiger smiled. He never expected that he would have the opportunity to awaken his demonic power at his age.
This is certainly related to my own efforts, but mainly it was thanks to Bubble's influence.
Blue Tiger got out of bed and bowed to Queen Hailan.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
He knelt on one knee, raised his head, and said, "Thank you, Lord Sea God!"
Queen Hailan said, "Our Crystal City is protected by the Sea God."
There's no longer a need for so many elders to guard the city.
"Blue Tiger, although you are the Fourth Elder, you are also a general in the army and can still lead troops into battle."
"My subordinate understands!"
Queen Hailan intends to groom Bubble to be the next queen, which is why she treats Blue Tiger favorably.
Normally, this opportunity to transfer demonic power should have belonged to General Zhao Yuan.
Blue Tiger knew in his heart that he would eventually have to repay this favor.
Bubble scratched his head and said, "Since it can transfer demonic power..."
"Next time we encounter a shark clan general with demonic powers, we won't kill him; we'll just cripple him and bring him back."
Queen Hailan nodded. "If possible, it would be best to cripple them and bring them back."
Lin Feng chatted with Queen Hailan for a while longer.
Lin Feng brought the two metals from the deep sea back to study them.
Both of these metals were discovered to be valuable.
The Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Iron is incredibly hard and cannot be forged even on the Divine Continent; it will not melt no matter how it is burned.
Lin Feng inquired with Queen Hailan and learned that this kind of ten-thousand-year-old cold iron could only be forged using the subterranean fire from the seabed.
It seems the task of forging the millennium-old cold iron will also be entrusted to the mermaid clan.
Another metal is called dark silver.
Lin Feng sent the metal to Taixu to test it.
Weapons infused with this metal can inflict more damage on demons, twice as effective as those made with silver.
Lin Feng originally intended to trade these two metals with the mermaid clan, but Queen Hailan refused.
Queen Hailan stated that the Mermaid Clan would provide Lin Feng with these two metals free of charge.
However, both of these metals are rare.
The seabed veins that produce these two metals have been occupied by powerful groups such as sharks.
The entire mermaid clan couldn't afford much.
Lin Feng asked them to first use the ten-thousand-year-old cold iron to forge a sword for themselves.
Provide as much Dark Silver as you can.
Lin Feng will provide the mermaid clan with a batch of harpoons made of fine iron.
Many mermaid warriors use stone harpoons, which seriously affects their combat effectiveness.
Lin Feng plans to upgrade their equipment.
Lin Feng informed Queen Hailan that he would begin initiating the mermaid clan's spiritual awakening procession starting tomorrow.
The initiation ceremony will take place beneath the statue of Neptune in the square.
Queen Hailan stated that she will lead her entire clan to attend the ceremony tomorrow.
