Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls-Chapter 344 - 209: Stamina Boost and Soul Transformation Evolution

If they stray too far from the Divine Hall, chasing too deep.

Not to mention whether they can catch up or face destruction if they do.

Even if they manage to kill the person, expending significant effort, flying back to the Divine Hall would be quite difficult.

They can only watch as Fang Yu’s ship sails farther and farther away, gradually disappearing from view.

"How did this heretic do it? How could he silently open the divine patterns in the Divine Hall, enter the pool, and steal the Divine Essence?"

They looked at Fang Yu, memorizing him and his ship, then began discussing softly.

"Either there is someone from the Sin Domain who awakened early, guiding him into the Divine Hall, becoming a traitor in our holy war."

"Or this heretic himself is a master at pattern imprints who directly cracked the patterns of the Divine Hall."

Another person spoke in a low voice.

Thinking of this, they exchanged glances and immediately flew back to the Divine Hall.

Upon entering the Divine Hall, they released the divine power within them, pouring it into the bodies of the Divine Envoys one after another, checking if there was any consciousness from the Sin Domain that had awakened prematurely and betrayed the holy war, providing outsiders with a method to open the divine patterns.

However, during their departure, Hua Yu had anticipated this and had prepared in advance, carefully modifying the divine patterns below, so that no tampering could be detected, then returned to slumber.

Therefore, even though their presence swept through the divine envoy bodies on the pillars, they did not find anything unusual.

"Strange... Could it be that this person was indeed proficient in the art of pattern imprints, cracked the divine patterns, and stole the essence? Or perhaps he was sent by the Alchemist society to probe?"

They murmured, their eyes filled with confusion.

But soon, one of them shook his head, his expression slightly grave, and spoke in a low voice, "What should we do next? The higher-ups entrusted us with this sea Divine Hall, yet the Divine Essence has been stolen. The remaining essence is likely insufficient to nurture these divine envoy bodies into perfect life."

The pool’s Divine Essence is only 20-30% left, insufficient to sustain nurturing.

But... if the higher-ups find out about this...

They exchanged worried glances.

In religion and the Divine Hall, any theological power places great importance on a follower’s loyalty.

Failing a task or messing something up might be seen by the Divine Hall as being ’unfaithful, not fully devoted to the gods.’

In severe cases, they might become examples of flawed devotion in religious rituals, punished, and stripped of divine power.

"Now, there is no other way. These divine envoy bodies, though not nurtured to perfection, have absorbed enough Divine Essence over more than ten days."

"Might as well forcibly activate the remaining Divine Essence to awaken these divine envoy bodies early and have them join the holy war prematurely."

One of them suggested, his eyes lighting up.

In fact, by the pool, these divine envoy bodies have already absorbed three times their volume in Divine Essence; this stolen pool is just the fourth.

The Moon Clear Divine Hall... No! Several theological powers have invested many resources for this holy war.

"But doing this, these divine envoy bodies might not have the power of a perfectly developed state."

Then, the other person whispered.

"No matter, they’re not much weaker and are enough to start the holy war!"

"Besides, those Ocean Court people are recently being held back by the Tide Council, so no strong experts will join this war."

"Imperfect divine envoy bodies combined with Alchemy are sufficient!"

"Once we capture the Southern Island Sea Region, we can regather the Divine Essence to supplement these divine envoy bodies’ life force."

They discussed in whispers, determination flashing in their eyes.

Originally... the holy war wasn’t supposed to start this soon.

But now, with the premature emergence of the divine envoy bodies, the war timeline has been accelerated by quite a lot...
