Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 185 Let me explain, I really don't want to become an ancient god of the deep sea.
[Crack settlement in progress...]

[The crack has already collapsed; current distortion is 0%!]

[Alive: As a second-tier transcendent being, you're already very lucky to be alive, aren't you? Reward +30%]
Outstanding Employee: You completed your supervisor's request and found the sea lantern design that Bonfire Energy Company has been longing for. Reward: +50%
Pain, so much pain: Although you failed to prevent the arrival of the Dream Beast and did not inflict any substantial physical damage on it, you did inflict significant mental damage. Reward +70%

[Settlement complete. Rating: A. You can choose one from Flower Phase, Lantern Phase, or Illusory Phase to draw a Skill Card Chest. (Legendary 80%, Epic 20%)]

[Bonus Reward (Light): When drawing skill cards, you can imagine the skill card you want, thus increasing the probability of drawing a similar skill card.]

The creator of pain, psychological harm...

"Is that even possible?" Chen Qi's eyelids twitched.

Because it inflicted mental damage on the final boss, the Dream Beast, it also received a higher rating.

In the C-rank rift, obtaining an A-rank rating already guarantees the acquisition of high-rank skill cards!

Completing the extra task is equivalent to being able to choose a reward once, but unfortunately, there is no low-probability reward to be obtained, otherwise you could use Ditto Palu's dice... Chen Qi thought about it carefully.

Which type of skill card chest will you choose to draw from?

"Lamp image".

A choice is made at dawn.

The Flower Phase's skill cards are mostly related to art, charm, and nature. As an extraordinary person who adheres to the path of the Lamp Phase, he desperately needs a powerful skill from the Lamp Phase.

What he needs most right now is the skill to reshape the source of his spiritual power!
Reshaping the physical body and the source of spiritual power are the most important things for a second-tier transcendent!
This is also a prerequisite for becoming a third-tier transcendent being and subsequently mastering the Liberation Technique!
A tiny flame ignited from the tip of Chen Qi's index finger, followed by the appearance of a fiery red card.

The front of the card features a heart burning with 'flames', while the back depicts a candlestick.

[You have obtained the Legendary Skill Card, Heart of the Bonfire.]

Heart of the Bonfire:
Nature and form: lamp
Description: The heart is a burning bonfire, and the bonfire is the blossoming of the soul.
Learning requirements: Ability to perceive small lamp images, inspiration level of 60, and mastery of an advanced meditation technique for one lamp image.

Effect: Reshape your source of spiritual power to comprehensively enhance your spiritual power, spiritual power recovery speed, and spiritual power perception. At the same time, after mastering it, you will gain the comprehension of the Lamp Image skill.

In dangerous situations, your spiritual energy will ignite, granting you enhanced perception!

Chen Qi was overjoyed. He finally got it!

After mastering this spiritual energy source skill, all his skills will increase in strength, and he will also be able to learn skills that consume a lot of mana!
This is equivalent to a significant increase in its own strength.

Moreover, this skill can also grant enlightenment in the realm of lamps.

This can be considered the most important skill for a second-tier transcendent being in the final stages.

Moreover, he also meets the learning requirements of Inspiration 60 for this skill.

The only problem is that this skill requires mastering the meditation method of lamp imagery.

Previously, due to time constraints, all he had mastered was a common meditation method readily available in the market.

"Time to head to the Sea of ​​Rifts and learn a new meditation technique..." Chen Qi clapped his hands excitedly, put the skill card into his inventory, and then looked at the little crow:
"how?"

Like him, the little crow also barely killed any monsters in the crevice.

Perhaps I should comfort her... Chen Qi thought.

Then, the little crow's eyes widened in shock, and a skill card with the shape of a cup appeared in her hand. She said, her voice trembling slightly:

"2%..."

With only a 2% chance, she actually got the Cup-type skill card in a single draw!

Although this skill card isn't very useful for the little crow, it's still a decent gain.

The little crow tried to suppress his smile, in case Chenqi drew a bad skill card, it might hurt him:

"Not bad... How about you? How are you?"

"I was very lucky and drew the skill card I wanted most, which is to reshape the source of spiritual power."

Chen Qi smiled slightly and put the skill card into his inventory.

"The origin of spiritual power."

The little crow was startled; the skill card for reshaping the source of spiritual power was priceless!
Moreover, even in a C-rank rift, obtaining a skill card containing spiritual energy is a low-probability event.

"Congratulations!"

She happily raised her head and looked up at the sky.

Although it was a thrilling experience, overall, they both gained a good amount of experience.

With the rift ending, they were actually already in the waters of the Witch's Sea.

The sea breeze gently ruffled their hair, and the two of them, their minds blank, stared blankly at the sky.

Listen to the sound of the waves and watch the seagulls fly past beneath the Dream Beast.

Until, under the flames of daylight, the enormous body of the Dream Beast began to slowly burn, emitting a soft light.

"fireworks……"

The little crow sat up excitedly.

A tremendous song echoed through Storm Canyon.

The ribbons on the Dream Beast kept falling, eventually like a meteor shower, like falling fireworks, falling one by one onto the sea.

The falling ribbons burned on the sea surface, and finally, in the flames, they formed one mirage-like spectacle after another.

Countless ribbons fluttered in the wind!
A dreamlike scene.

"Farewell, Dream Beast..."

Chen Qi said softly.

Then, he looked curiously into the distance.

He had never seen anyone else's dream before.

Amidst the distant flames, a hazy, mirage-like scene slowly emerges.

"???"

I was startled when I woke up in the morning.

A ship covered in jet-black feathers sped across the sea! And at the bow stood a fierce-looking, 1.8-meter-tall pirate princess, wielding a scalpel and a musket, exuding a heroic air.

At that moment, Captain Blackeye's Sawshark appeared in front of the Raven Ship.

The pirate woman on the bow of the ship had an expression that was three parts domineering and seven parts arrogant, as if to say:

"How dare this mere Sawshark approach this pirate!"

Swoosh!
With a simple wave of her hand, the pirate woman sliced ​​the Sawshark in half, while Captain Blackeye knelt tremblingly on the deck, handing over all his gold coins.

However, the pirate princess clearly didn't care about any of that. She took out her musket, pulled the trigger, and blasted the treasure chest apart.

boom!
She gently blew on the smoking muzzle of the musket, regarding money as dirt.

Immediately afterwards, she lightly jumped onto the Sawshark, kicked open the door to the slave quarters, and freed the slaves.

Then, she suddenly grabbed a boy and threw him onto the deck of the ship!

"Fuck me!"

At that moment, the little crow raised its head and couldn't help but squawk!
That pirate princess was just a dream she had before!

Many of life's dreams are things that should never be shown to others.

Suddenly, on the ship, the black-haired boy unleashed a burst of power, throwing a punch that sent the pirate woman flying into the sea, and the two engaged in a fierce battle!

Despite being in battle, the pirate woman wore a joyful expression.
What is this? Is this pirate woman the protagonist of the dream? Why would she dream of being beaten? Chen Qi was startled by the bizarre and surreal scene before him.

Could this fierce-looking pirate woman be Little Raven?
Chen Qi glanced at the little crow.

In terms of appearance, these two people cannot be said to be similar; they are simply unrelated.

"Um, um, um..."

The little crow's face had turned as red as an orange, and its little hands kept moving around. Then it placed its hands on Chen Qi's face!
Later, she will throw that boy into the operating room.

"Calm down, calm down, calm down..."

The little crow was rambling incoherently, only wanting to bury itself in its own ground.

She can only be thankful that the dream the Dream Beast presented was a relatively normal dream.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to live in this world.

However, with the sea breeze, the dreamlike scene vanished like the wind.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness, phew, phew..."

The little crow breathed a sigh of relief.

"..."

Chen Qi fell into thought.

He never imagined that the little crow would have such a dream.

However, this dream should be considered normal, after all, the little crow is a doctor who studies sea creatures.

Wait a minute... Chen Qi suddenly felt a sense of alertness.

What dreams will he have?
In this world on the verge of destruction, might makes right.

Right now, his personal strength is so weak that he struggles even against the White Cloak, let alone against bosses like Big Mom, Pillar of the Abyss, Deep Sea Merchant, and Blood Hunter.

As for monsters that surpass even the legendary ones, such as the Whale Father, the Sea God, the Ice Witch, and the Deep Sea Hunter, they are so powerful that one cannot even look directly at them.

Only strength can ensure survival and change everything.

Perhaps he dreams of becoming a fourth-tier beast tamer, roaming the seas, or a deep-sea hunter, slaughtering all monsters and pirates in the world.

Or perhaps I'll dream of having a happy family, or maybe I'll dream of the Flower Witch, or my Whale Father? Or my hometown?

No! Many dreams are forgotten.

I don't think I was having some strange dreams subconsciously.

A slight unease arose in Chen Qi's heart.

It should be fairly normal, right? There shouldn't be any strange dreams... Chen Qi thought to himself, ready to smear the little crow's face with Water Sprite No. 3 at any moment.

Above the vast ocean, the sky gradually transitioned from deep blue to a heavy leaden gray, as if foreshadowing the imminent arrival of some indescribable power.

The waves rolled and crashed against the ship, one after another, creating a deafening roar that mingled with the sharp cries of seagulls in the distance, forming a chaotic yet solemn symphony.

On the high seas, there was a huge merchant ship, where nobles and merchants were in the restaurant, raising their glasses in toasts.

In the midst of the storm, a man in yellow appeared, and the moment he appeared, the waves stopped rolling and instead lay quietly at his feet like tamed beasts.

Is this a dream of the white cloak? Why wear this...? Chen Qi felt a pang of doubt.
The man in yellow gently raised his hand, and with a bang!
Countless dark, twisted tentacles emerged from the sea, like giant pillars of the abyss, and then rapidly rushed toward the merchant ship.

In the blink of an eye, all the important figures on the merchant ship were tightly bound by tentacles!

No gender, age, or physical appearance restrictions!
Entangled by the tentacles of the Yellow King, these people initially showed expressions of pain, but then their expressions became increasingly comfortable, like sheep that had lost their minds.

At that moment, many powerful marines rushed towards the man in yellow, but in the instant they struck, they were easily taken down by a snap of his fingers and lay on the ground, unable to get up again.

At that moment, the man in yellow lightly stepped across the waves and snapped his fingers.

The massive wave completely swallowed the merchant ship.

The dreamlike scene in the flames kept zooming in, and the face of the person in yellow became clearer and clearer.

The blurry face beneath the yellow robe was none other than Chen Qi.

"..."

I dreamt I became an ancient god of the deep sea? And with a beauty filter applied!

Why does he look like a major villain? Why do these people show a gleeful expression after being entangled with him?
"I can't possibly have such a dream..." Chen Qi tapped his forehead with his finger.

"Do not……"

Chen Qi turned his head to look at the little crow, struggling to organize his thoughts:

"Listen to my explanation..."
