Chapter 120 Dispatch
"But this doesn't mean she'll unconditionally help the Human Empire, nor does it mean she'll obey the Spirit Hall's orders."
"Moreover," a cold glint flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes, "Seagod Island has always remained aloof, not interfering in continental conflicts. Poseidon's secret arrival this time must have a deeper meaning."
"This 'Goddess Ranking' has pushed her to the forefront, disrupting her original plans, and also showing us her… the rewards she received are equally terrifying."
"Five hundred miles of Seagod's Domain… the Seagod's descent possesses near-third-level god-like combat power… fragments of the Seagod's Heart…" Bibi Dong took a deep breath.
"Her strength was already unfathomable, and now it has reached an even higher level. Near the ocean, even a true god-level being might not be able to defeat her with certainty."
"Issue the order," Bibi Dong said in a deep voice, "Prepare to welcome High Priestess Poseidon of Seagod Island with the highest honors of the Spirit Hall."
"At the same time, immediately dispatch an envoy, led personally by... Saintess Hu Liena, carrying lavish gifts, to the estimated landing site to express the Spirit Hall's respect and welcome, and to invite High Priestess Poseidon to visit Spirit City."
"Remember, the attitude must be respectful and humble, without the slightest negligence or probing. First, find out her attitude and purpose."
"Yes!" Chrysanthemum Douluo accepted the order.
Bibi Dong then looked at Ghost Douluo: "Activate all our hidden informants around Seagod Island, and at all costs, investigate the specific reasons for Poseidon's departure from the island, her entourage, and all recent unusual activities on Seagod Island."
"And," she paused.
"Pay close attention to the relationship between Poseidon and Tang Chen... According to ancient secrets, these two seem to be..."
Ghost Douluo understood and his figure vanished.
Bibi Dong sat alone in the main hall, gazing eastward, muttering to herself, "Poseidon... is your arrival a blessing or a curse? Which way will the balance tip?"
In the Imperial Palace of the Heavenly Dou Empire, Emperor Xueye, after a brief moment of stunned silence, suddenly burst into a joyful wail: "The Sea God has appeared! The Sea God has not abandoned his people! Lord Poseidon! Lord Poseidon has come!"
He practically scrambled down from his throne, grabbing a minister beside him who was also trembling with excitement.
"Quickly! Immediately! Use all means to determine Lord Poseidon's flight path and expected landing point! Send out the Empire's highest-level welcoming entourage! No! I will personally go to the seaside to greet him!"
"Open the Imperial Treasury! Prepare all the most precious treasures, the rarest materials, and the oldest scriptures related to the Sea God as gifts for Lord Poseidon!"
"Order all coastal provinces and cities to immediately prepare a grand Sea God sacrificial ceremony! To welcome the Sea God's messenger!"
"Furthermore, immediately contact the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and ask them to send representatives to welcome him with me! This is a matter of life and death for the Empire; we must unite all forces!"
Emperor Xueye was radiant, as if he had suddenly become ten years younger, all his previous despair and dejection swept away.
In his view, the arrival of the High Priest of Sea God Island was the Sea God's favor upon humanity, especially his Heavenly Dou Empire! He had come to save them from the fire and water brought by the Demon Emperor!
In the Star Luo Empire, Dai Tianfeng was equally excited, but compared to Emperor Xue Ye's ecstatic joy, he possessed a greater degree of calm and calculation.
"Poseidon... the spokesperson for the Sea God... she has a duty to restrain the Demon Emperor... excellent! Excellent!"
"Immediately order 'Han Hai City' on the western coast to enter a state of highest alert, and prepare the grandest and most solemn welcoming ceremony for the god! Mobilize the empire's most elite honor guard and Soul Master escorts!"
"Furthermore, secretly order our forces on overseas islands, especially those indirectly connected to Poseidon Island, to do everything possible to establish contact with Lady Poseidon's entourage, offering our goodwill and gifts, and to win her favor!"
"Tell the garrison commander of Hanhai City to spare no effort in ensuring Lady Poseidon's safety and comfort during her stay within Xingluo territory! This is crucial to whether the Empire can overcome this crisis!"
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Ning Fengzhi let out a long sigh of relief, a slight relaxation finally appearing on his previously tense face.
"Poseidon… has finally arrived. The envoy from Seagod Island has appeared at this crucial moment; perhaps it is destiny."
A hint of respect flashed in Sword Douluo Chen Xin's eyes: "The High Priestess of Seagod Island, the legendary level 99 Limit Douluo, a quasi-god… I didn't expect her to be so young. The reward she received is equally earth-shattering."
Bone Douluo Gu Rong frowned and said, "Feng Zhi, Poseidon's arrival is certainly a good thing, but her stance… Seagod Island has always been neutral. Is she here to restrain the Demon Emperor, or does she have another purpose? Our previous attempts to contact her have not yet yielded a response."
Ning Feng Zhi pondered, "In any case, it is a fact that Lady Poseidon possesses the power to restrain the Demon Emperor. Her arrival will at least greatly alleviate the pressure on the coast, buying the mainland precious time to respond."
"Prepare generous gifts immediately. I will personally go to the eastern coast. Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, you will come with me."
"Furthermore, continue to try to contact Seagod Island through secret channels to express the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's respect, and... inquire about Senior Tang Chen's whereabouts."
A deep meaning flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes.
Seagod Island, this mysterious holy land that has always been detached from the world, has seen its High Priest suddenly appear and ascend to the "Goddess Ranking" in such a shocking way. This undoubtedly injected a shot in the arm into the chaotic and panicked continent, and also introduced a subtle change into the originally one-sided hopeless situation.
However, not everyone felt jubilant.
In the deep sea, in the Demon Whale Sea, in the endless abyss.
On the throne of bones, the Demon Emperor suddenly raised her head. In her deep blue eyes, dark golden devouring vortexes spun wildly. The terrifying killing intent and resentment were almost tangible, dyeing the seawater around her black!
"Poseidon... Seagod Island... High Priest..."
Her voice was icy cold, each word seemingly squeezed out from between her teeth, carrying boundless hatred.
"Poseidon's lackey...you dare to be on this list? Do you deserve such a reward? The fragment of the Heart of the Sea God...to restrain me?"
The Demon Empress's boundless devouring domain rippled uncontrollably, revealing the intense turmoil within her.
Her hatred for Seagod Island and the Sea God's High Priest was even deeper and purer than her hatred for ordinary humans!
It was the faith in the Sea God that had suppressed the development of the Deep Sea Demon Whale race! It was the so-called "order" of Seagod Island that bound these deep-sea overlords to the far reaches of the ocean!
Now, this representative of her enemy had received such an astonishing reward, and was even explicitly told by the heavens that he bore the responsibility of "restraining and guiding" her?
"Hahaha..." The Demon Empress suddenly let out a low, maniacal laugh, echoing through the abyss, filled with resentment and irony.
