The vast ocean was an irresistible force for ordinary people, but for powerful True Gods, it was nothing to be afraid of.
— But this didn't mean that True Gods had a way to deal with the vast ocean.
It was easy to split open mountains and rocks. Even if it was a continuous mountain range, it would only take a few days to raze it to the ground.
But how to deal with the boundless ocean?
Even if he split the ocean with a sword and waited for the divine power to pass, the ocean would return to its original state. It wouldn't be too difficult to evaporate a pool of water with the Extreme Flame Martial Arts, but with so much water, how effective would it be?
"Then you have to think of a way yourself."
Shen Zhenyi was unperturbed and didn't care at all.
The residents of the fishing village were panicking. They had nowhere to go and were trapped here. If they met the angry Sea God, they could only wait to be killed.
Cynanchum Chinense gritted her teeth. She couldn't just ignore the situation, so she could only say bitterly, "Then I'll try!"
Her divine light scattered out and landed on the ocean surface. Only a chi chi sound could be heard, and in an instant, the seawater began to boil. White smoke rose into the air, and under everyone's cries of alarm, the tide quickly retreated, revealing a large amount of stone beach.
With her cultivation, it wasn't a problem to force the tide back in a short time, but to evaporate the four seas was like a fool's dream.
"If you continue like this, before the sea is dry, the residents on the island will be cooked."
Shen Zhenyi slowly reminded her.
Cynanchum Chinense was stunned. When she looked back, she saw that the faces of the fishermen were red and sweating. Because of the fire on all sides, the island was like a steamer.
— If this continued, before the sea was dry, the people would be cooked.
"Then what should we do!"
Cynanchum Chinense could only give up and sit aside angrily.
Shen Zhenyi looked at all of this quietly. The terrified and numb people sighed in his heart.
— There were many things that couldn't be solved by hard work. The so-called helplessness wasn't because he didn't have power, but because even if he had power, it was useless.
His sword could cut through the sky and change the past and the future, but …
There were some things that couldn't be undone.
The Cynanchum Chinense should understand this as well. Otherwise, it would be impossible to obtain the inheritance of the Sea God.
However … this disciple of his had never admitted defeat.
Not long after, the Cynanchum Chinense stood up again. She summoned the divine light to protect all the villagers and continued her great task of boiling the sea. This way, her consumption was even greater, and the speed of the evaporation of the sea water was reduced by half.
This was also a test for her. Not long after, her forehead was full of sweat, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered.
Shen Zhenyi couldn't bear it and reminded him, "You have to think carefully. After the seawater evaporates, how are these fishermen going to live?"
Huh?
The Cynanchum Chinense was stunned. Like a deflated balloon, the divine light stopped.
— — Master was right. These fishermen rely on the water to make a living. Because of the sea, they can go out to sea to fish and make a living. Without the sea, would they be able to farm?
Looking at the barren land and rocky beach around them, even if the sea evaporated, they probably wouldn't be able to farm, right?
Moreover, without a water source, how are these people going to live?
Thinking of this, the Cynanchum Chinense felt really complicated.
"It's still easier to defeat a real enemy!"
She frowned.
No matter how strong the enemy was, at most, she couldn't defeat him. She could train hard and become stronger than him, and she could destroy him. But in this situation, what should she do?
The Cynanchum Chinense felt that with her brain, she really couldn't think of what to do.
She asked Shen Zhenyi in distress, "Master, I really can't think of what to do … If there's really no other way, I don't want this inheritance of the Sea God. Master, can you teach me what to do? We can't just watch these people die, right? "
Whether these people were real or not, she couldn't be sure. But since she was here, she had to plan.
She was the one who caused this trouble, so she naturally had to solve it.
The Cynanchum Chinense still had this sense of responsibility.
If she left them alone, the fishermen would probably be swallowed by the angry sea monsters, and at least half of them would be injured. Then, it would return to the original situation of sacrificing one person per year. If she blindly acted recklessly, the fishermen would not be able to survive, and they would gradually become extinct.
She was in a dilemma and couldn't get off the tiger.
The Cynanchum Chinense really didn't know what to do.
Shen Zhenyi sighed, "It's okay. I already expected that you would not be fated with the inheritance of the Sea God. It's enough that you can get a share of it. "
He hinted, "Actually, there are two ways. First, you can control the four seas yourself and make the weather good for the people. That's how you inherit the position of the Sea God. When the time comes, you can naturally let these fishermen live in peace."
How could this be?
The Cynanchum Chinense didn't even think about it, and shook her head, "Then, won't I have to stay here? No, I want to follow Master and never be separated from him. "
This was her principle.
The Cynanchum Chinense had always felt that she was relatively stupid, and there was nothing special about her. The only thing she was proud of was that she had followed the Third Young Master Shen since early on. Since that was the case, then she would never be separated.
In fact, she could also leave a clone and a strand of divine thought to do this kind of thing. This was the method of the gods manifesting billions of clones.
Unfortunately … this method was not fated with the Cynanchum Chinense.
Shen Zhenyi didn't explain much, and only said lightly, "Since that's the case, we can only teach people how to fish. Among the fishermen, there are people who can fight against the powerful nature, so that they can constantly improve themselves. Even if they have to pay a huge sacrifice, they can still go forward and never retreat."
This might be the way to treat the root of the problem.
However, this was a very difficult path. She didn't know how many hardships there would be, and she didn't know if she could succeed in the end.
The Cynanchum Chinense said hesitantly, "I can teach them martial arts and array formation, but … can they really defeat the powerful sea monster?"
The sea monster was so huge and terrifying that one tentacle could destroy the entire island. Could the island produce such strong people to fight against it?
"Have you ever thought before that you can defeat such a powerful sea monster?"
Shen Zhenyi didn't answer the question directly, and instead asked a question in return.
The Cynanchum Chinense seemed to understand something.
Shen Zhenyi smiled. He knew that his disciples had already found their own paths.
As for how to choose, even he, as their Master, couldn't decide for them.
The future is uncertain.
But we can only muster up the courage to walk in the direction that we feel is right, and never stop.
His figure gradually disappeared, and he returned to the Sea God's palace.
The statue of the Sea God was still standing there quietly, as if it had been so calm and peaceful for thousands of years.
Who would have thought that it would be so turbulent?
Shen Zhenyi stared at the eyes of the statue and began to think. Who would be the first to leave the statue of the Sea God and return to him?
Not long after, the eyes of the Sea God began to shine.
