The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 353 Entering the Sea God Ruins
A few days later, as the sun rose above the horizon, David headed for the Endless Sea.

Originally, David had a very close relationship with the sea people.

But the last time he defeated the shark tribe, he clearly felt the hostility of the Sea King.

After all, they all have the blood of the sea god and have the right to rule over the sea people.

Moreover, the strength of the Poseidon bloodline in David's body is even higher than that of the Poseidon Emperor, and he also holds the Poseidon Trident.

Poseidon has always been worried about David's threat.

Especially recently, after learning that David had successfully been promoted to a six-ring wizard, his worries became even greater.

Deep in the Endless Sea, in a long-sunken underwater palace, the Sea King sits on a magnificent and ancient throne.

A huge magic crystal ball was suspended in front of him, flashing various lights. It was a means for him to monitor the entire sea area and its various races.

Through the crystal ball, he could see that David was approaching the depths of the ocean, but he was no longer the defenseless man who could be easily manipulated.

"David, he has mastered great power."

The Poseidon whispered, his voice rolling like the waves full of majesty.

"His bloodline is stronger than mine, and it can be said that he is a direct challenge to me. If I allow him to continue, I will lose my rule over the entire sea clan."

An old man beside him frowned slightly after hearing this. "Do you think we should take action? If he comes into contact with those relics, it will most likely cause greater trouble."

"Action!" Poseidon said resolutely, "I will not let anyone threaten my rule, especially someone with mysterious blood."

"We must stop him in advance! Mobilize all the manpower we can and stop David from looking for those ruins at all costs."

As the order was given, the various fishmen and other aquatic creatures quickly gathered together, ready to fight to protect the rulers they believed in and followed.

And in the depths of the ocean, those ancient and mysterious forces are beginning to awaken, and a contest between blood and power, faith and rebellion is quietly brewing.

At the same time, in the few days after David set out, he went through a series of complex and difficult obstacles.

On the one hand, he has to face many challenges brought by the natural environment, such as surging waves and sudden storms.

On the other hand, what is more worrying is the hostile forces hidden in the undercurrent.

When they arrived at a relatively peaceful and unfamiliar island, there was a sense of mystery in the air.

Compared to other areas, this place feels more peaceful, but it also hides unknown dangers.

David's heart tightened because as he got closer to the island, he could feel the oppression in the air around him gradually increasing.

"Be careful," he said, "This place may look peaceful, but it may be hiding enemies."

Just as they began to explore the island, a low and rhythmic sound suddenly came from not far away. It seemed like a call, or also like a carnival.

As the sound became clearer, a figure quietly emerged.

They were the mermaid warriors known as the "Guardians of the Abyss". They were fully armed and their eyes were as sharp as knives. Their leader was standing at the very front, staring at David with a pair of big, clear and cold eyes.

"You are not qualified to set foot here." The mermaid warrior leader said coldly, "This is our territory!"

"You should know that I don't want to fight with you." David raised his hand slightly to show friendliness, but he was already prepared in his heart.

He knew that a conflict with these guards was almost inevitable.

According to the guidance of the bloodline of Poseidon, this is where the remains of Poseidon are located.

At this moment, the sky above the island was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.

But then, a huge figure descended from the dark clouds - it was the imposing Sea Emperor!
"David, why are you here?!"

Poseidon said in a deep voice, emitting a strong pressure from his body, making the air around him become heavy.

"Of course, we are here to explore this unknown land." David smiled slightly.

He could sense the hostility of the Sea Emperor, but now was clearly not the time to become hostile.

"This is the ancestral land of our mermaid clan, not the unknown land you mentioned." The Sea King said with a serious face.

David smiled slightly, trying to keep his tone calm.

The arrival of Poseidon means that he has taken control of the situation, and this confrontation may determine whether he can continue to explore this mysterious sea.

"Sea King, I have no ill intentions. I am just curious about the ruins here."

David spoke slowly, knowing that at a moment like this, any careless words or actions could lead to conflict.

The mermaid warriors gripped their weapons tightly and watched the subtle interaction between David and the Sea Emperor vigilantly.

The leader turned his gaze towards the ruler of the mermaid clan, seemingly waiting for his orders.

"Your curiosity may bring you trouble."

The Sea King responded coldly, his eyes as penetrating as the abyss staring directly at David, "This is not just a relic, but also an important place for our people's survival and faith."

"I understand your concerns, but we all know that this sea area does not belong to any one race."

David continued, "The Endless Sea is vast and contains countless secrets. We can explore these ancient powers together through cooperation, rather than working against each other."

"Cooperation?" The Sea King sneered, "Do you think you can easily convince me? You want to control these powers, how can I let such a thing happen?"

The air was filled with tension, and the surrounding islands seemed to be holding their breath at this moment.

Lightning still flashed in the dark clouds, adding more mystery and danger to the confrontation.

"I'm not trying to take anything away."

"I hope to protect this land and everything it holds. If anyone wants to use these powers, it's definitely not me."

At this moment, a strong wind blew up and the trees on the island swayed.

This seems to be a response, but also like a warning from the unfathomable ocean.

"Your words are moving, but I cannot fully trust your blood."

Poseidon could feel the powerful force coming from David's body, but he still couldn't eliminate the vigilance in his heart.

David took a deep breath. He understood that the current situation not only concerned his own fate, but also the future of the entire sea clan.

In order to break this tense deadlock, he decided to use the original power of his Poseidon bloodline.

"If I can make you feel my sincerity and strength, you might change your position." David said slowly.

He closed his eyes and silently chanted a spell in his heart. As the spell echoed in his heart, the long-hidden power of the sea god's blood in David's body began to surge.

In an instant, a powerful wave erupted from deep within his body, like a surging sea, causing the surrounding air to tremble.

At that moment, the air seemed to be oppressed and solidified, and the surrounding islands fell into silence.

The mermaid warriors felt this oppression and instinctively took a step back. They realized that the dragon wizard in front of them was not as simple as they had imagined.

The Sea Emperor's expression suddenly changed, and his big eyes, as cold as the abyss, widened.

He felt that a kind of pressure from the origin of his blood was approaching him, and that majesty seemed to come from endless history and inheritance.

At this moment, he realized that this was not just power, but also a primitive shock coming from the depths of the Sea God's blood.

"This...your bloodline..."

Poseidon stammered and was unable to speak.

He had never thought that David would possess such a powerful aura, which not only challenged his prestige, but also exacerbated his inner uneasiness.

At this moment, the relationship between the two is no longer a simple hostility, but a more complex and non-negligible confrontation - that is derived from the roots of their common ancestors.

"It is not my intention to confront you, but I hope you can understand that we share a part of the same." David opened his eyes slightly and spoke calmly but firmly.

“I have a deep respect for this land, these waters, and everything that lies within them. I hope that together we can protect this endless sea.”

As the words fell, the fluctuations gradually stabilized, and the tension in the air also decreased.

At this moment, a subtle and strange connection seemed to have arisen between the two, like two rivers converging together, which might merge into a more magnificent and unpredictable tide in the future.

The mermaid leader observed all this quietly, and she realized that the development of things might be beyond her initial assumption.

When he saw that the most powerful ruler of his tribe was frightened by an alien creature, he knew that this moment might mean a new beginning.

He took a step back as a sign of respect while he considered his next options and course of action.

“You’re right.” Finally, a heavy, steady, and majestic voice from heaven, like the ocean, rang out.

"We do have something in common, we all want to protect our homeland and the great secrets it holds."

After a brief and solemn thought, the Sea King slowly retracted his sharp gaze like a knife.

All this seems to be an important turning point for both sides to re-examine their relationship.

He said softly, "In that case, I am willing to listen to your proposal, but please remember that I will never tolerate anyone who tries to harm my people and this place."

David smiled as he saw the situation ease.

He didn't care what Poseidon's plans were, after all, his goal was just to enter the Poseidon ruins.

After taking a look at Poseidon, David walked towards the intersection of the Poseidon ruins, intending to check how to open the ruins.

Although the mermaids have discovered this place a long time ago, they have never explored it, which in itself indicates some problems.

This relic has been sleeping on the seabed for thousands of years, surrounded by mysterious currents and halos, as if guarding some precious secret.

The Sea King and the mermaid warriors followed closely behind, watching everything around them vigilantly.

The entrance to the ruins is sealed by a huge crystal door, carved with intricate and ancient runes.

Those runes flickered with a faint blue light, like stars in the deep sea, and instantly caught David's attention.

He reached out his hand and gently touched the runes with his fingers, and a warm and familiar power surged into his body.

"This is... the power of the sea god." He thought to himself.

At this moment, he felt an innate connection, and the runes seemed to be responding to the power of his blood.

"This ruin was built by our ancestors to commemorate the great sea god."

Poseidon whispered, he also realized the powerful blood power in David's body, "but we have never found a way to open it."

David nodded slightly. He knew that this moment might be an opportunity to uncover the secret.

He closed his eyes and concentrated his mind again, connecting the blood power in his body with the external environment.

As his consciousness gradually sank deeper, those ancient runes began to flash brighter and brighter. Unlike the single blue light before, now there was a light intertwined with gold and silver.

He focused all his attention on the runes, feeling every detail come alive.

At that moment, a strong and huge energy surged out like a tide, resonating with the blood in his body.

Suddenly, the huge crystal door made a low and melodious humming sound, as if responding to his call.

As the vibrations intensified, a bright and dazzling light emanated from the door, illuminating the surrounding island like daylight.

"Look!"

The mermaid warriors exclaimed, they were all shocked by the scene.

And the door gradually opened to both sides as the light shone, slowly parting like waves in the ocean.

When the door was fully opened, a whole new world appeared before them - an extremely spacious hall with colorful liquid flowing in it, magnificent and golden, with exquisite carvings and full of mystery.

This is a place that belongs to a civilization from a distant era, but it still exudes a unique charm today.

But just as they were about to step into this new world, a rapid and intense sound came from afar. The sound was disturbing, like the sound of waves hitting the shore.

"How is it possible? He actually opened the remains of the Sea God!" The Sea Emperor's pupils shrank, his face full of disbelief.

The Poseidon was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment, and his eyes were fixed on the opened crystal door.

As the ruler of the sea tribe, he has tried many times to unlock the secrets of the ruins, but has never succeeded.

Unexpectedly, the sea dragon before him actually opened the door to the ruins in such a short time, which made him feel an unprecedented threat.

"This is impossible!"

Poseidon murmured to himself. He couldn't believe that there really was such a powerful being that could easily control the ancient power.

The extraordinary power of David's bloodline meant that he had surpassed himself as the ruler in some sense, and his prestige was challenged.

As David entered the hall, a mysterious and fresh breath hit him.

It feels like being in a mysterious and deep ocean, and every detail contains the power and wisdom passed down by ancient civilization.
