At the banquet, people sang hymns praising order; the songs were melodious and solemn, and everyone's expressions became serious.

As the song played, the sea surface shimmered with faint blue fluorescent light, spreading along the coastline like stars falling into the ocean.

Not only that, but an aurora appeared in the sky, with colorful bands of light flowing across the night sky, which was extremely beautiful.

This is a unique sight in the Order Islands, extremely rare, and the last time it appeared was several years ago.

People took this as a response from the gods, and they all put their hands together and made sincere wishes.

Wen Yubai simply watched quietly, without any reaction.

The God of Order turned his head to look at him and asked, "They are all making wishes to the gods, why aren't you?"

Wen Yubai gazed at the aurora borealis and asked, "If I make a promise, will the gods grant it?"

How will you know if you don't try?

The voice of the God of Order was unusually free of its frivolity; it was somewhat diffused by the sea breeze, and instead sounded more serious.

Wen Yubai paused, then clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and silently recited in his heart:

I hope for world peace.

The God of Order watched him silently, the firelight flickering on His face, and Wen Yubai's profile reflected in His emerald eyes.

He heard the believers' wishes.

After the prayers, the banquet entered a more enthusiastic phase.

After eating barbecue and drinking fine wine, people began to completely let loose.

Some people were wrestling shirtless, some were dancing and spinning around on the beach with their friends, and some, emboldened by alcohol, were singing passionate love songs to their crushes...

As the deity they were praising, the God of Order did not feel offended. Instead, he leaned against the rock and watched them with great interest.

Suddenly He spoke:

"Yu Bai, sing me a song."

Wen Yubai politely declined: "...No."

"Then I'll sing for you."

The God of Order paid no heed to his indifference; He cleared His throat and began to sing.

It was a language Wen Yubai had never heard before, obscure and ancient, and the melody of the song was also strange and unusual.

Wen Yubai sighed: This must be what it feels like to have your ears murdered.

He'd lived so long and had never heard such an awful song.

-

On the ninety-ninth day of the Order of Faith, the God of Order bestowed a special gift upon the believers.

He often sends things to Wen Yubai, such as fresh flowers picked casually, gems salvaged from the deep sea, and singing seashells found on the beach. Wen Yubai has gotten used to it.

He opened the gift box, but was stunned.

Inside the box lay a silver ring, its face set with a deep blue gemstone, about the size of a thumb, so pure and flawless that it radiated a captivating glow.

Wen Yubai was filled with doubt, and his doubts were tinged with a hint of wariness.

Although the God of Order appears to be a libertine and unruly individual, he has never done anything out of line with him during this period.

At most, he might be a bit off-key with his words, but his actions always maintain just the right level of propriety.

Therefore, Wen Yubai felt that this deity was probably just carefree and had no such intentions towards him.

The meaning of the ring was ambiguous, and Wen Yubai didn't understand why the God of Order would suddenly give it to him.

"This is?"

The God of Order replied, "The sovereign authority of the Sea God."

Wen Yubai's hand trembled, and he almost dropped the box.

With a "snap," he quickly closed the box and shoved it back into the God of Order's hand.

"Don't you like it?" The God of Order looked down at the box that had been shoved back into his hands, then looked up at him.

Wen Yubai said, "This is too precious."

Possessing the power of a god is certainly tempting, and he couldn't help but be tempted. However, there's no such thing as a free lunch, and to this day, he still can't see through the God of Order's purpose.

What does He want to get from Him by doing all this?

The God of Order, seeing the wary look in his eyes, suddenly smiled.

He tossed the box in his hand, and the power that could shake the entire ocean was tossed and caught by him like a toy, his movements extremely casual.

"You forgot? You still owe me a favor. Accept this, and we'll be even."

Wen Yubai was stunned for a moment, and memories from before surfaced in his mind.

He knelt before the god of order, begging Him to heal the weakened Erebus.

At that time, he did not know that Erebus was a god. That level of injury would not have killed a god, but the God of Order had indeed promised to save him.

Wen Yubai was silent for a moment, then asked, "Why?"

The God of Order looked at him and said meaningfully, "For the sake of world peace."

Wen Yubai was speechless at this answer. What kind of reason was that?

Before he could ask any further questions, the God of Order had already opened the box, taken out the ring, and taken his left hand.

Wen Yubai's body stiffened instinctively, and he subconsciously tried to pull his hand back.

But in an instant, another thought overcame instinct.

If one possessed the power of a god, would one then have the means to rebel?

At least when those gods want to do something, I won't be completely useless.

So he resisted the urge to pull his hand away, and let the God of Order hold his hand and slowly push the ring into the middle finger of his left hand.

The ring is beautiful; the sapphire blue facet shimmers in the light.

However, Wen Yubai could not sense any fluctuation of power; it was no different from wearing an ordinary ornament.

"Actually," the God of Order saw through his doubts and spoke slowly, with a playful tone as if he had just pulled off a prank.

"This is not the authority of the sea god."

Wen Yubai: ...

Sure enough, she was teasing him again.

He knew this guy didn't say anything serious.

The God of Order has a number of speechless actions, but Wen Yubai is already able to deal with them calmly. He didn't say anything and was about to take off the ring when he heard the God of Order's next words.

"That's right."

He saw the God of Order raise his hand, and his slender fingers plunged directly into his chest without leaving any wounds or bloodstains, as if they had pierced through a layer of water.

The God of Order lowered his eyelashes, unusually restraining his usual frivolousness, as he withdrew his hand again...

A hazy light suddenly appeared before Wen Yubai's eyes, and his consciousness and body separated. He could not see what the God of Order was holding, and could only watch helplessly as the God of Order's hand was placed on his heart.

Then Wen Yubai heard the sound of the waves, not from his ears, but from the depths of his soul; the vast sea surged and flowed within his consciousness.

His body became light, as if melting into the boundless blue.

He could hear the silent whispers of deep-sea fish, see the sunlight filtered through the seawater into strands of shattered gold, and feel the seawater flowing through his fingertips with unbelievable clarity.

Every turn of the sea breeze, every rise and fall of the tide, is like the throbbing of the blood vessels in his own body.

Something was gathering inside him, peeling away his senses layer by layer, and then rebuilding them layer by layer.

As my consciousness waned, a breath brushed past my ear, carrying a smile.

"When you become the sea god and have three thousand lovers, could you choose me as your first?"

Wen Yubai: ...

Or perhaps he should just give up this power.
