Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 385 Tang San, Covered in White Hair, His Later Years Are Uncertain
"Hahaha, keep playing the music, keep dancing!"

"My dear ministers, eat up! These are delicacies that cannot be found at sea."

By the way, the Sea Demon Grand Tutor hasn't been feeling well lately, so please quickly send her this top-quality dragon blood tuna.

In the newly rebuilt, luxurious palace of Lingdou City, beautiful music floated through the magnificent palace, and graceful palace maids fluttered like butterflies on the jade-paved ground.

The palace is entirely in the style of land-based architecture, with very little of the marine style. This was not the architect's personal preference, but rather Chen Hanhai's own request, as he felt that the architectural aesthetics of land-based architecture were far superior to those of the sea.

In a sense, this can be considered a form of cultural assimilation. The culture of the ocean lags far behind that of the land. Even a noble nation like the Douling Empire surpasses the ocean in the multidimensionality and depth of its culture.

Since arriving on land and ascending the throne, Chen Hanhai has come to know what real life is like and has enjoyed true imperial power.

Life is about waking up every morning in a luxurious bed where even the bed legs are made of gold and jade, without having to lift a finger or fight for anything, and enjoying delicacies from all over the world.

Every day, he would attend court and listen to the ministers' refined flattery. On a whim, he would then take a tour of the country to sweep away bandits and rebels.

When I get bored, I log on to the internet to watch videos, browse forums, or play a few games.

As for the front lines? In Chen Hanhai's view, they were irrelevant. As long as he didn't cross the line between the Star Dou Great Forest and the far north, Di Tian wouldn't make a move.

Even if the front lines are in complete disarray, Di Tian's absence will not affect the empire's internal affairs, because he, the Sea God Douluo, is there.

With his divine artifact, he was not afraid of even the Dragon God Douluo and the Dragon Emperor Douluo joining forces. If they dared to come, he would make them run away with their buttocks covered.

Why are there so many evil spirit masters in the empire during this period? These evil spirit masters don't attack remote small towns, but instead specifically target the elite forces of the Sea God family.

A mere Soul King wielding the Corpse Explosion Soul Skill dared to ambush him! This is outrageous! Occasionally going out to see what tricks the evil Soul Masters were up to was one of Chen Han Hai's little pleasures in his spare time.

As for the situation in the ocean, Chen Hanhai was well aware of it. The Beast King Godzilla swept across the ocean, and a large number of sea spirit beasts chose to submit. The various races in the ocean, including some sea spirit masters, no longer wanted to continue fighting.

The ocean has already shed enough blood during this period. The number of sea spirit beasts and ferocious beasts, which had existed for 100,000 years, was directly halved after the Demon Emperor's Rebellion and the Beast Emperor's Expedition.

The sea spirit beasts are no longer capable of organizing a large-scale resistance. Each race now only wants to protect itself and continue its bloodline; it doesn't matter who it submits to.

Many sea spirit beasts asked Chen Hanhai for help, requesting him to kill the Beast King Godzilla. Chen Hanhai couldn't be bothered with them. Why should he risk his life for a bunch of mud-legged fish from the sea?

Godzilla is not weak, at least as strong as the Demon Emperor. Although he is confident that he can kill it, what is his motive?
The battle with Godzilla would surely leave him severely injured. If he were seriously injured, what would happen to the vast empire of the Sea God family? The four great empires would definitely seize the opportunity to launch a full-scale attack on his empire.

Having seen the light of land, Chen Hanhai would never return to the dark caves of the ocean.

Without the magic network, delicious food, and the admiration of millions of people, what's the point of keeping his strength? He might as well be dead.

Chen Hanhai was enjoying his food while watching the dance below. His Magic Network screen was on, and he was browsing forums and looking at game guides. Recently, a new game called "Black Myth: Dragon God's Ring" had been released on the Magic Network.

It's not expensive either; ten Dream Coins for the game itself is a piece of cake for a Soul Master.

The game, based on the legendary war between the dragon gods, was endorsed by Emperor Tian and attracted many players.

The difficulty is a bit overwhelming. When fighting the Asura God, the door can't be opened from this side, forcing you to frantically wander around the maze-like map.

Opening a treasure chest revealed three Devouring Dragons hidden behind it. Even the game designer, Lao Feng, was stunned. I wonder what the designer went through when he was hunting Soul Rings as a child.

"His Majesty!"

"There is something I am not sure if I should say, but the statue of the sea god has accumulated a lot of information."

Should we respond?

Hai Ming Douluo, who was to Chen Hanhai's left, pushed up his monocle on his right eye and said respectfully.

Upon hearing this, the entire palace fell silent; this was a topic that could not be touched.

Chen Hanyun and Chen Hantian, who were located on the right side of the palace, stood up straight and looked at Chen Hanhai with worried expressions.

Although Chen Hanyun was level 97, he had no great ambitions and only wanted to guard his small territory in the empire, so he was unable to break through to level 98 for a long time.

Poseidon's message was nothing more than sending troops to the sea, something he absolutely didn't want to do. Who wants to go back to the sea and fight Godzilla?
Chen Hantian wore a monocle over his right eye. Before he reached level 70 and his martial soul evolved into the Sea God, he was parasitized by Amon. A smile appeared on his lips.

Not only him, but all the Amons in the palace were curious about Chen Hanhai's answer.

Chen Hanhai closed his eyes, the magic network screen shut down, and tapped the golden dragon throne with his fingers, seemingly savoring the beauty of imperial power and the land.

"Is that so?"

"It is not that I do not want to send troops to the sea, but the land is still unsettled and the faith in the sea god has not yet been restored."

If we send troops to the sea at this moment, it will inevitably leave the country vulnerable, allowing the false emperor in the north to take advantage of the situation and invade.

"It's not me who harmed the sea! It's this chaotic world that harmed the sea!" "Before restoring the glory of the sea god, how can we face the statue of the sea god?"

Let's not mention this again. Let's set our sights on the land. Only by restoring the glory of the sea god to the land can we have the face to face the sea god's statue.

"Oh, by the way, is the statue of the God of Destruction finished? As one of the five great god-kings of the divine realm, he should also receive our offerings."

"Also, build the statues of life, goodness, and evil together with the statue of the sea god. Just a reminder, the statue of the sea god must be placed in the very center! Anyone who dares to deviate even a fraction of that position may commit suicide."

Chen Hanhai's scheme was so elaborate that even the homeless outside could hear it. By placing the statues of the major god kings alongside the statue of the sea god, he was simply trying to weaken the influence of the sea god statue.
If the sea god were to blame someone one day, the blame could be shifted to the god of destruction, who could be accused of forcibly sending down divine pronouncements and statues, thus preventing the sea god's messages from being received.

It can only be said that this is indeed a force that shares the same origin as the Haotian Sect, having learned from the same Xuantian Treasure Record and using the same methods.

The boy who slays the dragon will eventually become a dragon himself. The patriarch of the Sea God family, who once wanted to control the imperial power with divine authority, betrayed the divine authority after personally experiencing the benefits of imperial power and adopted the same strategy as other emperors—weakening divine authority.

The high-ranking members of the Sea God Clan, including Haiming Douluo and Hailong Douluo, all pushed up their monocles and revealed mocking smiles.

Sea Dragon Douluo immediately cupped his hands in salute and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Without restoring our land-based faith, we have no face to face the statue of the sea god. You truly are worthy of Your Majesty!"

Chen Hanyun also smiled and said, "Father is wise! The sea has its own destiny, and we should trust the wisdom of those who came after us on the sea."

It would be best if he didn't have to go back to the ocean to fight Godzilla. Chen Hanyun is the crown prince, the future emperor. Life on land is so wonderful. Anyone who wants to go back to the ocean is an idiot.

Anyone who dares to suggest going back to the ocean to fight Godzilla should not blame him for using his trident to help them maintain a semblance of dignity.

Seeing all the ministers praising his decision, Chen Hanhai's smile grew even brighter. Raising his golden wine cup, he said:

"Alright, today is a good day, everyone should drink and eat as they please."

There's a saying on the internet: "Drink today, for tomorrow we may die!"

Let's keep playing the music and dancing!

…………

"Asshole!!!"

In the realm of gods, in a somewhat illusory mansion shrouded in mist, Tang San had a "well" character appear on his forehead, completely lacking the demeanor of the wise god who once strategized and planned.

Lately, Tang San didn't know what was wrong with him, but he seemed to be getting more and more irritable and easily angered.

Xiao Wu even said that sometimes he behaved a bit like a girl, and the eight blue halos that were originally the Sea God's position were now turning white! He also had a bit of a holy aura, and feathers would occasionally grow on his back.

Tang San felt that having a divine aura on his body was a good thing, indicating that he was gradually taking control of the terrestrial faith that originally belonged to the angels.

As for the white halo and the long feathers, these must be signs of the evolution of the god's position. It shouldn't be long before the sea god's position is promoted to the level of god king.

His irritability and temper must be caused by those eight inherently evil consciousnesses within him! Once the Sea God ascends to the God-King level, he doesn't believe those guys won't have their own ideas.

Taking advantage of the gap in divine status created by the ascension of the divine position, he would immediately use the Asura Sword to sever these eight consciousnesses. Even if their souls were damaged, it would be much better than a chaotic battle of personalities!
"Reverse, reverse!"

"Even the Sea God family isn't replying to my messages anymore, God of Destruction, you've gone too far! Do you really think I'm a pushover?"

That's even more beastly than Dong Jia Qianrenxue multiplied by ten!
And the God of Original Sin, we'll settle that score with him later!

"The will of Douluo Star is also damned! Taking over the ocean at this crucial moment and interfering with my grand plan, isn't that just blatantly deceiving me?!"

Tang San still doesn't believe that the Sea God Clan deliberately stopped contacting him; he has never doubted the loyalty of the Clear Sky Sect and the Sea God Clan.

After all, when he was in the lower realm, fortune revolved around him, and he had never experienced the feeling of being betrayed by his own people.

In particular, the Sea God family continued to provide him with a steady stream of terrestrial faith.

Tang San glared angrily in the direction of the destroyed castle, then flicked his sleeves and headed deep into the Sea God Temple. He planned to absorb the faith in one go and elevate the Sea God to the position of God King.

With the dual divine king positions, he believed that the God of Destruction could not possibly be his match.

"Anyway, the faith on land is enough. The quality of human faith is indeed much better than that of soul beasts!"

"Just wait, until I fully absorb the faith of the land and complete my divine evolution."

God of Destruction, God of Original Sin, Will of the Dimension—we'll settle our scores with them one by one!

"It's time for Dad and Mom to take action too."
