Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

When Su Wang opened his eyes again, he was already back inside the Deathheart Ship.

This interaction with the "fish" made everything clear to him.

Everything originated from a single drop of blood from a higher dimension.

It's unimaginable how powerful the owner of this blood must be.

"Just a drop of blood..."

Su Wang gave a bitter smile, quickly dispelling the jumbled thoughts in his mind, and then contacted Cao Ge and Di Anxuan.

A short while later, the two appeared one after the other outside the Heart of Death.

After being invited by Su Wang, the two appeared in the command room of the Lost Heart.

"Boss, can't we just talk remotely? Why do we have to meet in person?"

Cao Ge asked first, speaking in a very casual manner.

Meanwhile, Di Anxuan, who was standing to the side, also cast a questioning glance at her.

After all, Su Wang's expression was very serious at this moment.

Upon hearing Cao Ge's question, Su Wang adjusted his mindset and recounted the details of his conversation with the "fish."

As two essential figures in the final cleanup of the pollution, it is necessary for them to know everything.

The expressions on their faces changed from doubt to surprise, then from surprise to shock, until finally turning into sighs and bitter smiles.

After the two calmed down, Su Wang continued.

"That's how things are. You two need to prepare for the final stage."

"Leave the remaining polluted sea areas to your fleet for cleanup; do not consume any more faith fuel."

According to the "fish" theory,

After He re-merges with the other half of the corrupted world, He will also absorb the filth and blood of the surface world into Himself.

At that time, He will most likely no longer be Him, but will become a new being created by the fusion of tainted blood.

Before that, He will temporarily sever His connection with the world.

What Su Wang and the other two need to do
It means preventing the new "He" from reconnecting with the world after He is no longer "He," and erasing him from existence.

There is only one chance,
If we fail, the world will never be able to be purified.

Of all these, the power of faith fuel is the most important and also the most likely to be insufficient.

If it's just contamination from the other half, Su Wang has already resolved that on his own once, so there's naturally no problem.

But the "fish" didn't know whether it would be strengthened by the power of that drop of filthy blood after absorbing it.

Therefore, before Su Wang returned to the shallow world, he specifically instructed that the three of them must accumulate enough faith fuel, just in case.

This is also why he arranged a formal meeting with Cao Ge and Di Anxuan.

In the remaining time,
Su Wang will devote all his efforts to adding new faith docks.

Di Anxuan and Cao Ge, on the other hand, need to go to those faith docks to convert their followers.

In the original plan of "Fish", the three major fishermen will all play a crucial role.

It's not enough for Su Wang to have a large amount of faith fuel alone.

The Supreme Fisherman must spread his nets across the world's starry seas to prevent the "polluted fish," which have severed the world's connection, from rushing back into it.

The Supreme Angler needs to lock onto the "Pollution Fish" with a hook, preventing it from dissipating its condensed form and restricting its escape.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Fish Gunner, as the main attacker, completely eliminated the "Contaminated Fish" with the assistance of the other two Supremes.

However, this plan encountered a slight deviation.

The Supreme Angler, who was originally supposed to play a restraining role, is too outstanding and has surpassed the Supreme Spear Master, who was originally designated as the main attacker.

Even the "fish" was greatly surprised.

After all, when He divided the essential power of fishermen into three categories, the power of fishing was the least favored.

Unexpectedly, it was the power of fishing that ultimately stood out.

With Cao Ge's current reserves of faith fuel, the damage he can cause is far too unreliable.

Even Di Anxuan, who was in charge of blocking the way, was lacking in this regard.
The lack of faith fuel could very likely lead to loopholes appearing before the "polluted fish" is resolved, allowing it to reconnect with the world prematurely.

All of this requires Su Wang to remedy.

The method "Fish" was also given to him, which allowed him to spread faith through the incarnation of the saints descending from the temple, so that the other two supreme beings could gain more faith.

We will try our best to correct the current extremely unbalanced situation back to a normal trajectory.

Su Wang's wry smile not long ago was partly due to this issue.

He never imagined that his own rapid development could become a loophole in the plan.

However, this problem,

Su Wang did not explain this to Cao Ge and Di Anxuan.

After all, both of them were able to become supreme beings with his assistance.

It would be too hurtful to let them know that it has now become a weakness in the plan.

...

In the next 10 days,

Cao Ge and Di Anxuan each strive to increase the number of their followers by learning the method of becoming a saint.

Meanwhile, Su Wang continued to travel to the unpurified local docks, directly using shortcuts to increase the number of believers.

Although the "Fish's" plan is for the Supreme Being to be the main attacker, Su Wang does not intend to merely act as a restraint.

Accumulating more "fuel of faith" in the final moments might play a decisive role.

Fortunately, he had Queen Elsa help spread the Temple's core beforehand.

During the month or so of pollution control efforts, temples were basically built at local docks within the Pisces Alliance.

Only a very small portion has not yet spread due to its distance.

With the method of the Holy Temple descending to become the incarnation of a saint, Su Wang could completely create clones.

At the same time, they appeared on nearly a hundred docks and began to purify them.

If it weren't for the fact that the mind's ability to divide and control has its own limit, it wouldn't be impossible for it to simultaneously manifest in all the docks.

Thanks to the efforts of Su Wang, Cao Ge, and Di Anxuan

In the last 10 days, a large number of believers were gained.

However, Su Wang still holds the vast majority, and this cannot be corrected in such a short time.

Fortunately, Cao Ge and Di Anxuan also made significant gains, at least reaching the point of obtaining over one trillion points of faith fuel per day.

Until the last day,
Su Wang received a notification from "Fish" that the time had come.

...

This time, the soul vehicle must be taken into the World Star Sea.

The other personnel inside the vehicle are not allowed to enter the Star Sea.

Therefore, Su drove the vehicle to the airspace above Fool's Wharf, preparing to settle the people on board the ship onto the wharf.

The workers and shipwrights were fine, but Tia and Mireille ran into a little trouble.

After the previous fright, Su Wang once again ordered them to leave the vehicle.

Mirei remained in her room with the door tightly shut, showing no intention of leaving despite Su Wang's calls.

Upon receiving the order, Tia immediately came over and questioned him.

"Captain, what's wrong now?"

"Why are we being made to leave the ship again?"

"You promised last time that it wouldn't happen again..."

"If you don't give me a reason, I'm not going down this time."

Su Wang was not angry when faced with Tia's unfriendly questioning.

Because he knew that this was because Tia was worried about his performance.

At that moment, Mirei's tightly closed door opened, and a pair of stubborn eyes looked out from inside.

The look in their eyes clearly indicated that they wanted to know the answer.

Seeing that even the usually well-behaved and sensible Mirei was now pouting, looking like she was unwilling to obey, I noticed that she was now pouting.

Su Wang felt helpless.

In fact, he really didn't want to tell them the truth.

After all, nothing was settled yet, and this operation was extremely dangerous.

Telling them will only make them more worried.

Su Wang decides to break his promise once and tell a "lie".

"I and two other supreme beings need to sail to another dimension of this world to meet with the will of the world and discuss important matters."

"Only I and two other supreme beings can go there, which is why I asked you to wait for me at the dock."

"Don't worry, I shouldn't be gone for long, I'll be back soon."

Upon hearing this, Tia's displeasure eased slightly, and Mirei's pouting lips weren't as pronounced anymore.

"Captain, are you really coming back soon?"

"Won't it scare Millie like last time?"

Su Wang bent down and patted Mi Lei's head.

"Don't worry, when have I ever lied to you?"

Mirei reluctantly nodded upon hearing this and walked out of the room towards the teleportation platform. Su Wang turned to look at Tia behind him and, seeing that she still hadn't moved, couldn't help but ask.

"I've given you my reasons, why aren't you coming down?"

Tia remained silent for a long time.
Suddenly, he stepped forward and gave Su Wang a hug, whispering something in his ear.

"Whether you're lying or not, you must come back safely."

He released her embrace and caught up with Mi Lei, who was leaving, past Su Wang.

Su Wang stood there alone, forcing a bitter smile.

"Could this girl have discovered something?"

...

Within the world's starry sea, three unique vehicles float on the surface.

Before the condensed will of the "fish",

Su Wang, Cao Ge, and Di Anxuan stood in front of the "fish's" enormous head, awaiting the "fish's" final instructions.

"I will extract that drop of tainted blood shortly. I urge the Supreme Fisherman to seize the opportunity to spread his nets and protect the world."

Upon hearing this, Di Anxuan nodded solemnly.

It was Su Wang's turn next.

"Once I reach my full potential, I request that the Supreme Angler lock onto my consciousness immediately."

"The unique power of the fisherman will prevent 'me' from breaking out of the condensed state."

Su Wang nodded in agreement.

Finally, it was Cao Ge's turn. His somewhat chubby face showed no sign of slipping, and his expression was very serious.

"The power of the Supreme Harpoon is the only power that can amplify the power of faith fuel. Please be sure to extinguish the consciousness of 'me'."

Cao Ge nodded after a slight hesitation.

Su Wang noticed the pressure Cao Ge was under and patted him on the shoulder.

"It's okay, I'll do my best. I'll cover for you, boss!"

After the final explanation was completed,
The fish's enormous body suddenly twisted.

The next second, the three of them, along with their vehicle, appeared in another region of the starry sky.

Below, Su Wang saw the polluted land he had never seen before.

This land, filled with eyeballs and twisted tentacles, is also a physical representation of the other half of the "fish's" body.

At that moment, the enormous body of the "fish" suddenly plunged into the earth below, just like a fish diving into the water.

The enormous body of the "fish" swam across this polluted land.

Wherever it swam, all the eerie eyes and tentacles vanished, returning to pure white.

However, the fish's scales, which were originally as bright as stars, gradually turned gray.

Su Wang, Cao Ge, and Di Anxuan followed closely behind in their vehicle.

As fish absorb more and more pollution,

Its scales also changed color to blackish-red, and at the same time, eyeballs faintly appeared to grow from the scales, while twisted tentacles also extended from the gaps between the scales.

Where the body was broken, new bodies kept growing, transforming into the complete body that He had previously spoken of.

After an unknown amount of time,
The "fish" has been completely restored to its full condition.

At this moment, it had two heads but no tail, one of which was a fish with its eyes closed, seemingly not yet awake, and its entire body was filled with an eerie feeling.

In return, the strange land below showed no signs of pollution and was completely white.

At that moment, Su Wang, Cao Ge, and Di Anxuan immediately took action.

The three people got out of the vehicles, and the three vehicles suddenly changed shape.

Su Wang's air-sea warship condensed into a ten-thousand-meter-long, dazzling fishing rod, which hovered behind him.

Meanwhile, Cao Ge's Ocean Overlord condensed into a ten-thousand-meter-long golden harpoon, which also hovered behind him.

Di Anxuan's Ocean Goddess was a huge, tightly bound golden fishing net, not yet unfurled.

This is the ultimate fishing gear formed by combining the fuel of faith, the vehicle of the soul, and the power of the fisherman.

The condition of the three people's fishing gear was clearly different.

Only Su Wang's fishing gear was multicolored, while the other two were only gold.

The reason for these differences is naturally the imperfection of power.

Lacking the power to compensate, Cao Ge and Di Anxuan's fishing gear did not reach perfection.

Su Wang had reported this problem to "Fish," but was unable to resolve it.

In order to delay the other half of the "polluted fish" from searching for Him,
The "fish" could only assign extraordinary fish to attract the attention of the "polluted fish," which ultimately delayed the process for so long.

Extraordinary fish are a natural product of the world's evolution, not something that "fish" can create on their own.

Now that we've come this far, we have no choice but to give it a try.

At this point, the "fish," which had already reached its fully transformed state, still retained its self-awareness.

This is also thanks to Su Wang's ability to erase the other half's consciousness once.

The "fish," now unrecognizable, turned around and spoke to Su Wang and the other two.

"Next, I'm going to extract that drop of tainted blood. Get ready."

"Finally, I hope you can treat this world kindly."

Upon hearing the fish's words, Su Wang and the other two nodded in unison.

The fish, having received a response, shifted its body slightly.

The next second, a section of the pure white land below suddenly changed.

A blackish-red color, about the size of a thumb, appeared.

Su Wang and the others were involuntarily drawn to the thumb-sized, blackish-red area.

Just witnessing it felt like staring into the eyes of some terrifying being, yet I couldn't look away, instinctively feeling its immense allure.

As soon as the red plots were formed, their prices skyrocketed.

In just a moment, it expanded from the size of a thumb to an area of ​​kilometers.

Suddenly, the "fish" opened its mouth and swooped down to bite the bright red area.

When it swooped down again, a huge gap had been bitten off the pure white land.

Also missing was that touch of bright red.

At this moment, Di Anxuan immediately realized what was happening.

The huge fishing net tied up behind them quickly unfurled, covering the pure white land.

The moment the golden fishing net fell onto the pure white ground, it blended into it.

Instead, a grid-like fishing net appeared above the pure white land, completely enveloping the boundless pure white land.

Di Anxuan's body suddenly felt somewhat unreal.

Wrapping the entire world in a fishing net nearly consumed all of her faith fuel.

Immediately afterwards, Su Wang also made a move.

The fishing rod, thousands of meters long, suddenly swung behind him, and the colorful fishing line, along with the colorful hook, shot towards the "polluted fish" that was rising up.

The moment the hook pierces its body, it locks firmly in place, and the colorful fishing line instantly contracts and tightens.

However, at this moment, Su Wang's expression suddenly changed drastically.

Following the fishing line, a chaotic consciousness, hundreds of times more terrifying than the "strange fish with severed tail" that was caught last time, suddenly surged forth.

Su Wang felt as if an all-encompassing eye was watching his soul.

His eyes were filled with a will of destruction, chaos, and disorder.

It was as if he would be swallowed up by this chaotic and disordered will in the next second.

Su Wang immediately burned his faith fuel power frantically, thus escaping the gaze of the "eyeball".

The moment he regained consciousness, he roared angrily.

"Old Cao! Hurry!"

Cao Ge's reaction was also quick.
According to the chosen plan, it was now his turn to burn all the faith fuel into the harpoon and deliver a fatal blow to the "polluted fish".

Cao Ge did the same immediately.

Like Di Anxuan, his body immediately became somewhat illusory, even almost as if it was about to disappear.

The enormous harpoon ignited with a tangible flame of faith, its fiery tail shooting fiercely towards the struggling "polluted fish."

At this moment, the eyes of the "polluted fish" that were originally open have now closed.

Meanwhile, the fish's other eye, which had been closed, had opened.

The clear and bright "fish" has disappeared, replaced by the polluted part, which has taken control of the will.

Upon discovering the giant flaming spearhead approaching, the "polluted fish" struggled to rush towards the pure white land below.

However, the fishing line pulled, and it didn't work out for the time being.

The flaming harpoon arrived in an instant, about to hit the "polluted fish".

Everything unfolded as planned, just like the "Fish" project.

At least for now.
