Chapter 408 Represents Auspicious Omens
The Sea Emperor looked at the High Priest and asked with concern, "High Priest, is there a problem?"

The high priest looked at Su Muyao and slowly took a few steps closer. A ring in his hand, which seemed as clear as crystal, emitted an extremely pure blue light.

The high priest said, "There is no problem."

"I just sensed that Miss Su is a lucky star for the Merfolk and even the Sea Clan, representing good fortune."

With no problems, Poseidon breathed a sigh of relief.

Wei Jinmo protected Su Muyao from beginning to end.

He didn't know much about the High Priest, but he knew that nothing the High Priest did would harm the sea creatures.

He was the will of the sea god, yet even so, his mind remained tense.

Hearing this, he felt relieved.

This shows that the High Priest would not do anything to harm Mu Yao.

The Sea Emperor explained his future purpose at the beginning, and the High Priest indicated that he understood.

"In that case, come with me to the altar."

Now that Wei Jinmo has gained the Sea God's approval, he, as the High Priest, should help him with whatever he wants to do.

He himself is also a manifestation of the will of the sea god.

The Sea Emperor stood guard outside, while the High Priest led Su Muyao and Wei Jinmo through the corridor into the altar inside.

The altar hall was surrounded by beads that emitted a blue light, making the entire space look like a secret underwater realm.

The central altar is made of millennia-old sea jade, with a jade plate suspended on it.

The high priest said, "Place the Soul-Gathering Lamp there."

Su Muyao took the Soul Gathering Lamp out of her spatial storage and placed it in the center of the jade plate.

The Soul Gathering Lamp was now completely dark.

The high priest asked, "For whom do you wish to gather souls?"

Su Muyao knew she shouldn't hide anything now, so she whispered, "He's my beast husband, named Yue Wuhen. He's originally from the Moon Clan in the southern border of the Mortal Beast Continent, but he possesses the bloodline of the Witch Clan..."

Su Muyao relayed Yue Wuhen's information to her.

But when it came to actually talking about it, Su Muyao realized that she actually knew very little about Yue Wuhen.

A wave of pain and guilt washed over her.

She hadn't actually done anything for Yue Wuhen, nor did she know his feelings for her.

It was only when she learned that he had sacrificed himself to save her life that she realized the love in his heart.

She only learned about those things after those images flashed through her mind after she was resurrected.

Thinking of Yue Wuhen, Su Muyao's eyes reddened.

The high priest continued, "Please explain in more detail why his soul was scattered. Since I need to activate the Soul Gathering Lamp, I need to know more about it."

Su Muyao clenched her hands tightly, her nails digging into her flesh. She took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, "I died when the Soul-Destroying Nail pierced my body. He appeared and, with the help of the Witch Clan's altar, sacrificed his flesh and soul to revive me, which caused his own soul to be scattered."

As Su Muyao finished speaking, she covered her face with her hands, feeling both heartache and guilt. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she suppressed them tightly.

She cannot cry, she cannot be vulnerable.

But the thought of Yue Wuhen's sacrifice still pains her.

Su Muyao was trembling all over.

Upon hearing these words, Wei Jinmo was shocked. It felt as if a thousand needles were piercing his heart at the same time, and a dense, throbbing pain spread throughout his body. The pain was so intense that it felt as if a giant boulder was crushing his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.

Wei Jinmo's eyes instantly reddened. He stepped forward and gently put his arm around Su Muyao. He wanted to comfort her, but he also knew that he wasn't by her side during her most difficult time.

And now, Yue Wuhen, who saved her, is dead. He knows that words are powerless to express his feelings.

In the end, all he could do was gently stroke her hair, as if to soothe the pain she had suffered in the past. He choked back tears and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, I wasn't there for you then."

"Yue Wuhen will definitely be resurrected. As long as the Soul Gathering Lamp can gather souls, he can come back to life. I will resurrect him with you."

At this moment, Wei Jinmo's azure eyes were as if stained with blood, and his heart was being torn apart. He wished he could bear all of this for her.

He leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, a kiss filled with his cherishing and tenderness for her, and carrying his solemn promise.

Su Muyao didn't want to tell anyone about this.

But when the high priest asked, she had to answer.

Her self-blame and guilt stemmed from her feeling that she had been incredibly foolish to have believed in that spirit.

Perhaps it was because she never doubted Wen Nanxi, and was unaware that there was such a thing as a main body and an incarnation in this world.

"It's alright, as long as he can be resurrected."

"Don't blame yourself. If it weren't for your efforts, if you hadn't obtained the Soul Gathering Lamp, I wouldn't have been able to do anything."

After experiencing all of this with the sea tribe, Su Muyao realized how difficult it was to obtain the Soul Gathering Lamp.

If it weren't for Wei Jinmo's help, and if Wei Jinmo hadn't become the Crown Prince of the Sea Clan, she might not have even been able to come into contact with the Soul Gathering Lamp, let alone use it.

"Don't say that. It would be my honor to do anything for you."

If it weren't for the Soul Gathering Lamp, she wouldn't have appeared before him, let alone formed a pact with him, making him belong to her and become her mistress.

Wei Jinmo felt that after the contract was formed, his love for her became deeper and stronger. Just looking at her like this made his love for her grow stronger and stronger.

Su Muyao quickly composed herself, stepped out of Wei Jinmo's arms, looked at the High Priest, and solemnly bowed, saying, "High Priest, I beg you."

The high priest explained, "The Soul-Gathering Lamp is a magical artifact from the age of the gods. As long as there is still a remnant soul of the deceased in the world, it can be gathered together; it's just a matter of time."

"However, Miss Su is a Celestial Phoenix Beastman. He not only resurrected you, but also helped you be reborn from the ashes and tempered into a Celestial Phoenix. Moreover, he was a sacrifice of the Witch Clan. This situation is not optimistic."

Upon hearing these words, Su Muyao's face turned pale. "High Priest, please, you must save him. I'm willing to pay any price."

The high priest sighed and said, "I'll give it a try."

"Is there anything he left behind?"

Su Muyao nodded and took out a silver bell. "This is something he used to wear with him."

When she woke up in the secret realm, the bell was on her body, and she remembered that it belonged to Yue Wuhen.

She always kept it in her space, and sometimes she would take it out to think of him.

After receiving the silver bell, the high priest twirled it while raising his scepter, which was exclusively for the high priest.

The staff is a deep blue color, as if it were flowing with the dark currents of the deep sea.

A large blue bead, resembling crystal, is set at the top of the scepter.

At that moment, after the high priest began chanting incantations, the beads on the scepter began to spin, seemingly drawing power from the sea.

Watching from the side, Su Muyao felt that the high priest's scepter was extremely mysterious.

Her heart was pounding, fearing that something might go wrong with the ceremony.

The words the high priest uttered at the beginning were very strange and seemed to carry a mysterious power.

Su Muyao thought it sounded like an ancient term.

After a while, his voice echoed in the silent hall, "With the sea spirit as the guide, may the soul return, guard its body, and ignite the soul-gathering lamp..."
