Chapter 224: Chapter 212: Now It All Makes Sense (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Upon hearing the mention of the Tower of Truth and the Witch, Lette immediately stepped forward and grabbed the Eldest Prince’s shoulder.

"Hey! Is what you’re saying true?"

"Well, I don’t know either. Mother never mentioned these things to me."

The Eldest Prince appeared somewhat frightened; his psychological shadow regarding Lette was quite significant.

"But since my mother dared to say such things, she must really know something. Since we can’t find any information about my sister’s disappearance here...

I think we should all go to my father’s bedchamber."

Lette patted his shoulder, "Alright, lead the way."

With great fanfare, Lette and his group left Gretel’s bedchamber, accompanying the Prince and the guards to the Sea Emperor’s bedchamber.

When everyone arrived before the most splendid and spacious palace of the underwater palace, the guard at the door seemed to have been informed in advance and hurriedly opened the main door.

Lette’s party effortlessly entered the bedchamber and finally met the long-rumored Sea Emperor and Sea Queen.

"Mother!"

The Eldest Prince promptly approached to pay his respects and then turned to introduce everyone.

"Lord Wright, this is my mother, the Sea Queen of our clan."

The Sea Clan and the Holy Light Church have quite amicable relations, and Lette bowed to the Sea Queen to greet her, and she returned the gesture.

"This must be Lord Wright. Indeed, you are truly distinguished."

"Thank you for the compliment, Sea Queen. I’m flattered."

"You saved Gretel and returned her to the sea. To us, the entire Sea Clan, you are a great benefactor."

"You’re too kind, only that I didn’t expect, after Gretel returned to the sea, she disappeared again so soon.

It seems the sea is indeed a wondrous place."

The Sea Queen had nothing to say after hearing this and could only smile awkwardly.

Lette looked at the grand bed made of seven-colored shells beside the Sea Queen, "It seems the Emperor of the Sea is unwell.

Is it possible for me to take a look?"

"Really?"

The Eldest Prince suddenly became excited, "If you can heal Father, that would be wonderful!"

The Sea Queen was initially stunned, showing a difficult expression but then regained her composure.

"Alright, then we’ll trouble His Lordship Holy Sin."

Lette took a few steps to the bedside, reaching out to press the Sea Emperor’s wrist and immediately frowned.

He pondered momentarily, then placed his hand on the other’s forehead.

"Hmm? Hmm... Ha."

Lette then withdrew his hand with a somewhat amused expression, "Apologies, it seems I was being arrogant.

The body structure of mermaids differs significantly from that of humans, and it appears I cannot heal the Emperor of the Sea."

The Eldest Prince was very disappointed upon hearing this, and the Sea Queen also put on a look of distress.

"Ah, if only he could wake up, it would be wonderful."

Lette stepped back before everyone, "Your Majesty Sea Queen, I heard you summoned us over for some information you wanted to share with us regarding...

The Tower of Truth and the Witch?

You’re not just playing with us, are you?"

"Such an important matter, how could it be a joke?"

The Sea Queen waved her hand, signaling for any idle attendees to withdraw.

Even the Eldest Prince was ushered out by the Sea Queen’s sharp gaze when he tried to stay.

Lette understood that the fewer people knew about the Tower of Truth, the better.

As for the Eldest Prince, these matters were extremely dangerous for him. Not knowing was better than knowing.

Once everyone had left, the Sea Queen, still not entirely reassured, set up a restriction and barrier within the bedchamber with a wave of her hand.

After completing these tasks, she reached out and tapped the Sea Emperor’s shoulder.

The Sea Emperor, who had been lying on the grand bed, slowly opened his eyes and turned to sit up.

Everyone present, except Lette and Lilith, was startled.

Especially Emily, who immediately prepared for combat, shielding Unica and Alice behind her.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Sea Emperor."

"Hello, Your Lordship Holy Sin."

"Feigning unconsciousness must be quite unpleasant, right?"

"Hmm, actually it wasn’t too bad, after all, every day was just eating and sleeping. Although the royal blood of the Sea Clan is not as powerful as that of the giant dragon clan.

But I’ve experienced their happiness.

It’s just, pity for you, my dear."

The Sea Emperor said as he took the Sea Queen’s hand, gazing deeply into her eyes, "Thank you, my dear."

The previously dignified Sea Queen immediately melted into his embrace, weak in his arms.

"For Your Majesty, I’d do anything."

Lette couldn’t help but widen his eyes and give a thumbs-up, "Oh, Emperor of the Sea, you live up to your name."

"Young man, interested in learning? I can teach you."

Lilith immediately pulled Lette’s hand, and Lette smiled slightly.

"Forget it, we are not of the same style. Your Majesty the Sea Emperor, I suppose we should discuss your daughter’s disappearance?

I believe you have much to tell me?"

The Sea Emperor sighed, "Gretel hasn’t disappeared, nor was she abducted.

She left the Sea Palace of her own accord.

Or rather, another her, after returning to the sea, successfully awakened consciousness and seized control of the body."

Lette’s eyes narrowed slightly, "Another her?"

The Sea Emperor straightened up, his expression serious and eyes determined.

"The Ancient Sea God has revived within her soul."

"The Ancient Sea God?"

The Sea Emperor spread his arms, "Lord Wright should have heard, in our Sea Clan’s royal lineage, flows the bloodline of the Sea God.

The question is, which Sea God’s bloodline is it?

The title of Sea God is a position, and there have been three Sea Gods in this world throughout history.

And the Ancient Sea God I speak of is the first of the divine."

With the Sea Emperor’s narration, an epic story unfolded slowly before Lette and the others.

After the world was created, lifeforms gradually appeared.

Through ages of evolution, these lifeforms gradually gained consciousness, beginning to worship all things natural.

Over time, the first generation of gods was born into this world.

These are the local gods.

These gods were gathered from faith, the most powerful being the Earth God, the Heavenly God, the God of the Sea, as well as the Sun God and the Moon God.

With the protection of the gods, each race began to thrive.

But the space of the world is limited, and each god wanted to expand their influence, to have more followers and authority.

As time went on, the advantage of the God of the Sea began to show.

She didn’t need to compete with other gods for terrestrial lifeforms; merely with the lifeforms in the sea, she already stood invincible.

Gradually, she became the most powerful god in this world, being the first to accumulate enough to become a God of Law.

But unsurprisingly, an accident occurred.

As she ascended to be a Rule God, she was beset by other divine beings and ultimately fell, unfortunately.

However, she left a contingency, completely integrating her body into the sea.

Hoping that one day, with her left behind arrangements, she could resurrect herself.

At this point, Lette couldn’t help but interject.

"The resurrection method you’re talking about, wouldn’t it be the so-called Divine Blood of your Sea Emperor Clan?"

The Sea Emperor sighed, "That’s right, as you imagined, the Sea Emperor’s Blood is a powerful force and supreme honor.

But at the same time, it is also the shackle of fate.

The richer the Sea Emperor’s Blood, the stronger its bearer becomes.

And simultaneously, the possibility of the Ancient Sea God’s revival within them increases.

Of course, there is an exception, which is the second-generation Sea God.

He was once an ordinary member of the Sea Emperor Clan, but due to a series of reasons, got entangled in numerous disputes.

Finally, by a stroke of luck, he successfully accumulated his bloodline power to 100%.

Before the Ancient Sea God’s revival, he ascended the Sea God’s throne and began a new era.

The third Sea God was the son of the second.

Although not as powerful as his father, he was indeed a conscientious and diligent Sea God."

"Your Majesty the Sea Emperor, I feel you’ve digressed."

"No, no, I haven’t digressed, please allow me to continue."

The Sea Emperor paused, continuing to explain: "First of all, what I mean by explaining all this is that even the most concentrated Sea God Blood can suppress the revival of the Ancient Sea God’s will.

And the method is to use other divinities.

Mr. Wright, you should know, within the forbidden grounds of our Sea Emperor Clan, there is an artifact containing the Light Divinity."

Lette paused, "You’re not referring to the Gaze Eye of the Sea God are you?"

Emily was also shocked upon hearing this name, "Lette, Lette, isn’t this the Divine Artifact Lady Goddess asked you to bring back?"

"Yes, although it’s called the Sea God’s Eye, this artifact contains the Holy Light Law that Afra needs to ascend."

After explaining, Lette looked at the Sea Emperor again, "So the method you’re suggesting is to use other divinities to interfere with the Sea God’s divinity, stopping her from reviving?"

The Sea Emperor nodded repeatedly, "Yes, the ancient gods were mainly born from great and peculiar phenomena.

Their divinities are particularly pure compared to later gods.

This is an advantage, as pure divinity represents powerful strength and stable divine authority.

However, they cannot integrate other authorities not belonging to themselves.

Let alone integrate; even co-appearing can make them extremely repulsed.

So when the second-generation Sea God realized there was a problem within himself, he immediately contacted the then God of Light and borrowed a trace of her divinity.

It was precisely due to this that the second-generation Sea God successfully avoided the possibility of the Ancient Sea God’s revival, becoming a divine being himself and freeing himself from fate.

The one who battled the Goddess of Holy Light during the War of Gods was actually the third Sea God, a child of the second-generation Sea God and an alliance with other forces.

Lord Third-Generation Sea God was generous-hearted. During the War of Gods, to repay a favor, he chose to lose to the Holy Light Goddess and left this world.

Though the Holy Light Goddess had completed her occupation of the land then, she was actually powerless against the sea.

If the third-generation Sea God had fought to the end, perhaps who’d win or lose would be uncertain.

But it was precisely the temporary retreat of Lord Sea God that led to the flaw in The Liar Demon’s lie, which eventually got exposed and sealed."

Lette looked at the Sea Emperor, "So... what does this have to do with Gretel running away from home?"

The Sea Emperor revealed a mysterious smile, "Mr. Wright, the power of witches is fundamentally similar to divinity, isn’t it?"

Lette suddenly realized, "I see, now everything makes sense."
