"What the hell?" Li Huailin climbed ashore, soaking wet. To be honest, the "shore" was just a rock floating on the sea. The impact of Byakee's landing was like a cannon. The entire surrounding terrain was reset. The only thing Li Huailin could distinguish was the Elemental Gate that was still open. Other than that, the surrounding reefs and islands were all gone.
The surrounding seawater was surging rapidly. There were whirlpools and currents everywhere. All sorts of debris floated past Li Huailin. The current situation was a complete mess. Li Huailin could only determine his position through the Elemental Gate next to him. He found that he wasn't thrown far away.
The moment Li Huailin entered the water, he was thrown out. After that, he was swept away by the currents. Initially, Li Huailin planned to teleport to Eofam's side. However, after thinking about it, he would have to look for Byakee later. Li Huailin didn't know how far Byakee had flown. It would be troublesome to look for him if he fell into the sea. If he swam up, he could at least record his position. So, he had to think of a way to swim up first.
However, it wasn't easy for Li Huailin to swim up. There were undercurrents and whirlpools everywhere. Although Li Huailin wouldn't drown, he didn't have any swimming skills. He was swept away by the currents and couldn't locate his position. Just as Li Huailin regretted his decision and wanted to teleport, he found himself on the reef. He looked around and saw that he was still near the Elemental Gate.
"This is bad. The whole island is about to disappear." Li Huailin looked at the bottom of the Elemental Gate. That place was originally dry land, and there was a small forest next to it. Li Huailin remembered it clearly. But now, it was all submerged by the sea. The forest was gone too. The entire Elemental Gate was standing on the surface of the sea.
Of course, the water level had begun to flow back, but Li Huailin saw another wave crashing toward the island. Yes, a tsunami was not just a single wave. Just like an earthquake, there were also so-called aftershocks. At present, the first wave had just leveled the island, and the sea had not yet stabilized. After that, the waves would continue to wash over the island. It was estimated that by the time the island surfaced again, there would be nothing left.
While looking around, the surface of the sea suddenly moved. Li Huailin saw a figure jump out of the sea and stand on the surface of the sea. Although the surrounding situation was a little chaotic, it was still relatively easy to see a person who suddenly appeared. Despite the distance, Li Huailin quickly recognized the person. Because the person who appeared was the Jade Emperor Summoner.
Li Huailin was still wondering what was going on with the Jade Emperor Summoner. However, after thinking about it, he realized that he also had a skill that allowed him to stand on the surface of the sea. Yes, this skill was the Lake Spirit's Blessing that Li Huailin's party obtained when they completed the Sword in the Lake quest. It allowed players to walk on the surface of the water. In fact, everyone in Li Huailin's party had obtained it. However, Li Huailin did not have many quests in the water. Moreover, he had Millet that could take off at any time. So, he had not used it until now. However, it was a good time to use it now.
Li Huailin rode on Millet and flew for a minute before arriving at the Jade Emperor Summoner's side. He landed on the surface of the water and said to the Jade Emperor Summoner, "You came out pretty fast."
"Fast my ass. I was slapped into the water and then slapped out again. What's going on?" The Jade Emperor Summoner was probably a little dizzy in the water. Of course, she also had the Celestial Sword to protect her, so it was not a problem for her to not drown.
"Damn it. This thing fell into the water, and look, it became a disaster of the century." Li Huailin shrugged and looked in the direction of the Elemental Gate. "I seem to remember there was a Colomico village over there. I wonder if it was washed away by the water. Hopefully, those guys escaped this disaster."
"Where's Byakee?" the Jade Emperor Summoner asked as he looked around.
"In the sea." Li Huailin pointed down. "But it's a little difficult to find him now."
"What do we do with this thing?" the Jade Emperor Summoner asked as he took out the Elemental Fragment. Of course, he was wearing protective gloves.
"There's no other way. We have to send it to him." Li Huailin said. "After all, we need him to deal with the Celestials. He can't do it without energy. Let's see if he can climb up on his own. If he can't, we'll have to think of a way to find him. Give it to me first."
Now, Li Huailin regretted not leaving a mark on Byakee's body. But after thinking about it, he wasn't sure if Byakee, whose name was nowhere to be seen, could leave a mark. No matter what, it was more convenient for Li Huailin to find something. So, Li Huailin decided to use his own account.
The Jade Emperor Summoner, of course, gave the fragment and the gloves to Li Huailin. Li Huailin then took out a bag of magic crystals and handed it to the Jade Emperor Summoner. He then asked the Jade Emperor Summoner to check on Eopham. According to Li Huailin, Eopham had probably used up a lot of energy this time. He might need to recover now. So, he asked the Jade Emperor Summoner to bring him back. Of course, he went to look for Byakee. The two of them split up. However, what Li Huailin didn't know was that there were still a lot of magic crystals left. Eopham had already started to use them to recover.
Li Huailin didn't know about this. Of course, the Jade Emperor Summoner didn't know about this. So, he put away the magic crystals and prepared to return to the elemental gate. But before the two of them could move, they suddenly saw a flash of light in the sky.
Their gazes were quickly attracted. When they turned their heads, they saw a few figures appearing in the sky. Among them, the most eye-catching one was the guy with the holy light shining on his head. Moreover, it was a guy that both Li Huailin and the Jade Emperor Summoner knew. He was Saint Lofrey, the ruler of the temple. The Jade Emperor Summoner had seen him in the previous Divine Trial. Li Huailin and him were old acquaintances. Needless to say, the people behind him were his underlings.
"The Celestials have appeared." Li Huailin facepalmed. It made sense. There was such a huge commotion here. How could the Celestials not appear? With such an exaggerated situation, anyone would know that there was an emergency. As the Inquisitor and enforcer of the temple, Saint Lofrey naturally came to check on the situation.
Although Li Huailin wanted Byakee to come here and cause trouble for the Celestials, the problem was that there was a slight accident. Eopham had used up a lot of his mana and was still recovering. Most importantly, Byakee hadn't received any energy yet. He was still in a half-asleep state and hadn't fully resurrected. Moreover, the energy was still in Li Huailin's hands. If the Celestials found out about it, it would be troublesome if they couldn't give it to Byakee.
"Why are you here?" As expected, Saint Lofrey questioned Li Huailin and the Jade Emperor Summoner as soon as he appeared. Such a huge situation had happened, and the people they saw were Li Huailin and Eopham. How could they not be suspicious?
"I also want to know where this is!" Li Huailin immediately replied. At the same time, he secretly hid the Dream Fragment in his hand. "We were fighting monsters on the island to level up, but a huge wave suddenly appeared out of nowhere. By the time we came back to our senses, we were already near here. We just met up."
After thinking for a moment, Li Huailin decided to muddle through the situation first. He had to hand the item over to Byakee first, so he pretended not to know anything.
"You were training your divine power on the island nearby?" Saint Lofrey was a little surprised. Indeed, the Celestial King had agreed to let a few trial-takers come to the border of the Divine Realm to train their divine power. This didn't seem to be a problem, but Saint Lofrey still had some doubts. "But the teleportation array hasn't been used recently."
The teleportation array Saint Lofrey was referring to was the one on the trial island. Normally, the only way for people from the lower realms to come here was through a teleportation array. However, the teleportation array hadn't been used before. It was very strange for these two to appear here. How did they get here? As Saint Lofrey spoke, she glanced at the elemental gate that hadn't closed yet. She began to suspect that Li Huailin and Eopham had come here through this gate. After all, it was so close. However, ordinary humans couldn't survive in an elemental plane. Saint Lofrey couldn't understand this, so it was only a guess.
"We've been training here for a few days." Li Huailin immediately said. "After all, this is a mission the Celestial King gave us. How could we dare to slack off? Of course we've been training every day. What's wrong? You look so cautious. Is this a forbidden area? What's going on with that crack over there? "
Looking at Li Huailin's expression, Saint Lofrey was starting to believe that Li Huailin didn't know much about the situation (Saint Lofrey's impression of Li Huailin was quite high). Of course, he wasn't too sure what was going on either. However, there didn't seem to be any need to explain anything to Li Huailin. It was more important to investigate immediately.
"You …" Just as Saint Lofrey was about to tell Li Huailin's group to leave, something suddenly happened. A black object suddenly emerged from the surface of the sea. Before anyone could react, the black object grabbed Li Huailin and dragged Li Huailin into the sea.
