Chapter 375: Chapter 92: The Secrets of the Tal Plane; Divine Power Domains of the Gods_2

But in the face of the terrifying power displayed by the Mother of Deep Red and the Dark Frost Giant Lord, both Legendary Tier One and Legendary Tier Three are nothing more than ants.

Either run, or die.

Listening to the reports from the ministers below, the Sea People Emperor ’Georgos’ had a sullen expression, and slowly spoke with an icy tone,

"Abandon the Deep Sea Imperial City and flee? That’s impossible!... If it really doesn’t work, then sacrifice the Heart of the Sea Abyss and summon the Sea Abyss Follower!"

Upon hearing the emperor’s intent to sacrifice the Heart of the Sea Abyss, the sea ministers below had a subtle change in expression, as if there was some taboo involved. After a moment of silence, one minister voiced concern,

"Your Majesty, the identity of the Sea Abyss Follower summoned by sacrificing the Heart of the Sea Abyss cannot be determined. If it’s the Sea Pressure Envoy, it’s still manageable and can be communicated with, but if it’s the End Messenger, then...."

The Heart of the Sea Abyss, an ancient deep-sea Old God, is also a deity worshipped by the Sea People Race.

Under the Heart of the Sea Abyss are followers bathed in its power. Even the weaker followers wield high-tier legendary might, while the stronger ones have reached deity-like levels and can be considered Sea Abyss Subordinate Gods.

"It doesn’t matter; the Sea Abyss Followers usually don’t linger in the Material Plane for too long, causing little damage. Besides, this is just the worst-case scenario." The Sea People Emperor ’Georgos’ calmly stated.

He actually dreaded the Sea Abyss Followers immensely; the Sea People Race hadn’t sacrificed the Heart of the Sea Abyss for nearly ten thousand years.

Just when the atmosphere in the grand hall felt heavy and oppressive—

"Report~ Your Majesty, the Mother of Deep Red and the Dark Frost Giant Lord have started heading north!"

A perfectly round orb suddenly spoke, delivering news that brought joy to the faces of the Sea People Emperor and ministers.

"Haha, now it’s that bunch of merfolk and Metal Dragon Island who should be worried!" The Sea People Emperor ’Georgos’ laughed heartily, wiping away the previous gloom, his tone somewhat gloating.

The three major deep-sea dominator empires: the Sea People Empire, Mermaid Empire, and Naga Empire.

Together, the sea areas occupied by the three deep-sea empires account for seventy percent of the Tal Plane Sea Area.

The remaining thirty percent includes territory claimed by Metal Dragon Island over one-third of it, while the last two-thirds are resource-poor seas serving as the free territory of billions of other sea races.

The sea races within the sea areas governed and ruled by the three major empires either submit to them or are generations enslaved deep-sea tribes.

North of the sea area.

Under the sea, within a colossal imperial city crafted entirely from colorful corals and shells.

A Mermaid Empress with pink-blue wave-like long hair trailing on the ground and a matching stunning, luxurious fish tail stared at the images within the suspended water mirror above the grand hall, unable to smile.

In the grand hall, the handsome and beautiful merfolk also stiffened slightly in their expressions.

In the enormous water mirror, after employing special abilities, the Red Gold Red Dragon had expanded to over three hundred meters, and the Dark Frost Giant stood over a hundred meters tall, resembling a towering giant. Both were fiercely moving toward the sea areas governed by the Mermaid Empire.

With the speed of these two powerhouses, it wouldn’t be long before they reach the Mermaid Empire’s sea borders.

"Empress, what.... how should we respond?"

Below, a Merfolk Elder sounded worried.

The Mermaid Empress ’Sasha Mire’ rubbed her brow, her eyes more radiant than pearls showing signs of worry.

"Fight if you must, but why fight in the sea?" Sasha Mire was somewhat troubled.

The war on the main continent was viewed as mere amusement by the Mermaid Empire, for no matter how intense the continent’s wars, they rarely impacted the deep sea.

Besides, every so often, wars would erupt on the continent.

Even without the Mother of Deep Red, other evil powerhouses would emerge, like the terrifying Necromancer Master who once unleashed an Undead Calamity across the entire main continent, causing similar scale disturbance. And yet?

The result was nearly half of terrestrial life wiped out to quell the Undead Calamity.

Then, as time passed, after only a few hundred years, the main continent flourished again, teeming with life once more.

Even without the Mother of Deep Red or the Necromancer Master, as time progressed, the continental races’ accumulating tensions would inevitably lead to war, eventually engulfing the entire continent in flames.

The deep-sea dominator empires, with their ancient heritage counting for tens of thousands of years, had witnessed too much of the main continent’s rise and fall, becoming almost numb to it.

Unlike the main continent that experiences massive upheaval every few hundred to a thousand years, the deep-sea empires maintain stability.

This relates to the lineage of the three deep-sea dominator empires and their profound backgrounds; while mutual wars occur, they never reach the level of total extermination.

Because as mature deep-sea races, they are well aware of each other’s profound heritage.

The Heart of the Sea Abyss of the Sea People Race.

The ancient serpent of the Naga Race.

The Ocean Gods of the Mermaid Empire.

The races on the continent also more or less have their divine beliefs, like the Elf Race, the Frost Giant Race, as well as humans, Jackal Wolfmen, Kobolds, etc.

But why, facing the catastrophe of the Mother of Deep Red, are they so weak and unable to seek the aid of divine spirits?

That’s because, in the Tal Material Plane’s long history, the deep-sea deity-like and gods frequently cast their gaze onto this world, leaving numerous deep-sea marks, while those Elf Gods, Human Gods, Dogman God, etc., naturally don’t project their power here; at most, they naturally develop believers.... So whether humans or elves seek divine help, it’s essentially impossible.

The divine spirits also have ’territorial’ boundaries.

Some planes are dominated by Human Gods’ beliefs, causing other sea deities and other race gods to retreat, acknowledging the plane as human-centric.

Some planes boast flourishing Beastman Gods’ beliefs, becoming the ’territory’ under Beastman Gods’ influence, ensuring other divine spirits avoid it.

While the Tal Plane is dominated by deep-sea gods’ influence, here divine intervention occurs exclusively among sea races.

If other divine spirits’ power is cast here, that’s considered ’provocation.’

Many times, divine wars stem from such beginnings.

Disputes over ’territory’ and ’belief’ among numerous planes accumulate tensions until they explode into divine wars.

Mermaid Empress Sasha Mire sighed and released her hand from her brow, speaking softly,

"Prepare in advance to receive the Divine Envoy."

"Yes." Several Merfolk Elders withdrew to make preparations.

After issuing orders, Sasha Mire sat on her throne deep in thought.

She felt a bit puzzled.

Unclear about the Dark Frost Giant Lord, but knowing the Mother of Deep Red, Alexrela as a Red Dragon born in the Tal Plane, a high-tier legendary ancient Red Dragon, surely knows some of the deep-sea tribes’ profound lore.... Then why act this way?

During the initial clash between the Mother of Deep Red and the Dark Frost Giant Lord, sea races weren’t present, naturally unaware that the Mother of Deep Red, Alexrela, was afflicted by Mola’s poison.

Had she known, Sasha Mire might have realized.

Because—since battling to this day, Alexrela, weakened by Mola’s poison, felt anxious.

In the Tal Plane, the power to confront the Dark Frost Giant Lord could only be sought in two directions: among the three deep-sea dominator races or at Metal Dragon Island.

The Mother of Deep Red Alexrela originally intended to draw upon the Sea People Race’s heritage; however, fearing the chaos and unpredictability of the Heart of the Deep Sea, apprehensive of attracting entities more terrifying than the Dark Frost Giant Lord, she veered north temporarily.

In the North Sea, the Mermaid Empire’s heritage lies with the Ocean Gods, while Metal Dragon Island’s is with Alexrela’s former nemesis—the Tier Five Legendary Ancient Golden Dragon ’Ignis.’
