Chapter 595 - 230: The Man Who Goes Against the Version

At this moment, at level 200, the experience he needed had already reached the trillions. However, within the entire special region of the Pacific Ocean, a full quarter of the NPCs and bosses formed a seemingly endless horde that filled the sky. After reaping such a massive amount of experience, Shen Fei saw that this single wave might even be enough for him to level up several more times.

SWOOSH. SWOOSH. SWOOSH.

Under Shen Fei’s indiscriminate, accelerated attacks, the entire area was finally cleared in less than half an hour. The countless, densely packed NPCs and bosses of all kinds, which had previously blanketed the sky like an army of Celestial Soldiers and Generals, had all been completely wiped out by Shen Fei.

Now, inside the massive sphere of water that the Black Tortoise had shrunk to a radius of only 50 kilometers, blood of all colors—red, green, and purple—had stained the once-blue ocean into a multi-hued mess.

SPLASH.

Facing the space filled with the stench of blood, the Black Tortoise’s head suddenly rose high. In an instant, as if rivers were flowing in reverse, the seawater that had just been a filthy, multicolored cesspool vanished without a trace. In its place, the Black Tortoise had swapped in a vast expanse of clean seawater.

"Water God!"

"Divine Race!"

As the Black Tortoise churned the seas and instantly replaced the water, the members of the Sea Race who had been hiding in a corner, having witnessed Shen Fei’s battle that was like butchering pigs, quickly gathered around. At this moment, the hearts of every member of the Sea Race were filled with shock and adoration. Especially the low and mid-ranking clansmen who didn’t know about the prophecy or the Sea Race’s true objective. Among them, some were so overcome with excitement that they fainted on the spot.

Meanwhile, some of the Sea Race, after kneeling on the ground behind their Empress Vana, were vigorously slapping their own faces. The reason for all of this, of course, was that the majority of the low and mid-ranking members had previously harbored doubts about Empress Vana’s decision to accept the Black Tortoise as master and Shen Fei as Divine Lord. Although they had obeyed Empress Vana’s command, and although the Sea Race’s clan laws made it impossible for them to defy internal regulations, many had been inwardly resistant to the situation.

After all, we are the Sea Race! We are a people who have survived countless ages and endured innumerable hardships, and we even possess the powerful five-in-one Divine Artifact, the [Dragon Palace]! Moreover, in this era, we were fortunate enough to gain the favor of the Uniqueness item, Red Heart A. This time, Red Heart A manifested and "stationed" itself within our [Dragon Palace]. With all these advantages on our side, how could we so easily kneel before others?

Furthermore, this being, this so-called Water God, is someone else’s pet. And this pet’s master is merely a creature from a single version of the world—a creature that hasn’t even lived through a single version cycle.

This made the people of the Sea Race, who had witnessed countless species and experienced innumerable version stories over the long eons, feel rather uncomfortable. Upon being able to travel through time and space again to arrive on a version-based planet like Blue Star, they had immediately entered the Pacific Ocean’s special region and found themselves in a standoff with powerful NPCs and bosses. According to the information they had gathered, although human players were the main lifeforms of this version, the rapid updates meant that humanity would soon fade away. Yet Empress Vana had led them to worship such a person as their Divine Lord, which had made many clansmen indignant.

It’s a known fact. Once a master is acknowledged, the fate and future of the Sea Race will be firmly bound to that master. Before, we still had the option to wander between eras, searching for opportunities. But once bound to a master, we share in all their glories and all their losses. If our master were to die, our ancient race, which has wandered for countless years, would be reduced to dust and smoke.

Previously, most of them hadn’t openly objected to the leadership’s "rash" decision, but inwardly they were resentful.

But now, having truly witnessed Shen Fei’s ability when he unleashed his full power without holding anything back, having witnessed the water barrier effortlessly created by the Black Tortoise—a barrier that even they couldn’t sense or pass through—and having seen the trillions of NPCs and bosses besieging the [Dragon Palace] get wiped out by Shen Fei as easily as chopping melons and slicing vegetables, these members of the Sea Race who had followed Empress Vana were all now completely convinced, prostrating themselves on the ground in total submission. Their eyes burned with fervor. Many of the elder Sea Race members even shed tears for the first time in their lives.

This time! We’ve really latched onto the right person! This time, our Sea Race finally doesn’t have to wander the world anymore...

"Alright, alright. Get up!" Shen Fei said, standing atop the Profound Turtle’s head. He saw the large group of the Sea Race kneeling on the sea’s surface, their eyes fervent, led by Vana. He raised his hand slightly, gesturing for them to rise. "What happened to all of you? Why have you aged so much?"

Through the slaughter just now, Shen Fei’s level had ultimately increased by three. His original level of 200 had already put him far ahead of any other creature on Blue Star. Now, at level 203, he was absolutely beyond anyone’s reach. His [Devouring] skill, which he could activate at any time, was his current, foolproof trump card on Blue Star.

"Reporting to the Divine Lord!" Hearing Shen Fei’s words, Vana took the opportunity to approach him and quickly reported what had happened to the Sea Race over the past six days. "To defend the Dragon Palace, we activated the Bloodline Technique to recharge the Dragon Palace’s Shield... Six days ago..."
