Chapter 153 The Misunderstood Cat.
The Dawn Machine is absolutely a miracle; it's impossible for an ordinary person to keep it running for a thousand years.
As everyone knows, Cypher will eventually become the Demigod of Tricks.
The answer is self-evident.
It must have been Seifer who used the power of trickery to allow the Dawn Machine to break through the shackles of three hundred years and continue to illuminate the sky of Ohm!
Everyone knows that after becoming a demigod, every time one uses their power, they have to pay a heavy price.
Or perhaps they gradually lose their humanity, becoming cold and ruthless;
Or they may degenerate into madmen who only know how to kill and destroy, losing their true selves;
Or perhaps they will be forever trapped in the underworld or the sky, never to be able to travel and reunite with their former companions again.
So what was the price for Serifi?
Without needing to think too much, everyone already knew the answer in their hearts—
Her price will certainly be the inability to return to Aglaia's side, leaving her unable to go home, unable to acknowledge her mother, and even unable to speak the truth!
It's important to know that Saifei's love for Aglaia runs deep in her bones.
As a child, she often passed by Aglaia's tailor shop, just to catch another glimpse of that gentle "mother".
Aglaia eventually adopted her and gave her a warm home.
This kindness was like a second parent to Sai Feier, etched deep in her heart.
This forced such a home-loving cat to leave Aglaia and its gentle little nest.
To bear loneliness and longing alone is undoubtedly the cruelest punishment in the world for her.
But everyone finally understood that Sai Fei'er had been silently making sacrifices for the journey to chase the fire, never stopping.
For hundreds of years, she has kept the Dawn Machine running by herself, suppressing her longing for home and "Mother," and refusing to set foot back in Ohma.
Everything she gave and her contribution to the Journey of Fire was in no way inferior to that of any Goldenborn or any demigod!
However, Sai Fei'er's actions were just like when she was a thief and a liar.
They have never been understood by the world and have even suffered from misunderstandings.
Even though she has devoted herself to the fire-chasing journey for hundreds of years and made tremendous contributions, in the eyes of others...
She remains a greedy, cunning, and mischievous phantom thief cat!
...
On the vast ocean, several forces are already at each other's throats, forming a standoff.
Tang San and his group were on their way to Seagod Island to inherit the Seagod's position when suddenly the Spirit Hall's forces appeared!
The Spirit Hall has Qian Daoliu, a level 99 Limit Douluo, in charge.
Among Tang San's group, the strongest was Tang Xiao, who was no match for Qian Daoliu.
Not to mention, several Title Douluo elders from the Spirit Hall accompanied Qian Daoliu, making the disparity in strength obvious.
Just as tensions were rising, Poseidon, the high priest of Poseidon Island, also arrived.
She looked at Qian Daoliu and the many Title Douluos who had suddenly barged into her territory, her face dark and her heart filled with dissatisfaction.
No one wants so many powerful Title Douluos to suddenly intrude into their territory, adding countless variables and risks!
When Tang San saw Poseidon, the high priestess of Seagod Island, his eyes instantly lit up as if he had seen a lifeline.
He immediately puffed out his chest, adopting an arrogant posture, secretly pleased with himself.
He was the future sea god, and this high priest of the sea god would surely treat him with utmost respect!
But Poseidon didn't even look at Tang San.
The plot revealed in the sky had already shown her Tang San's true colors, confirming that he was a hypocritical and cunning liar.
How can someone like that be made a sea god, and we have to offer sacrifices for him?
This is something Poseidon absolutely cannot tolerate!
Without saying a word, Poseidon's soul power surged, and a giant wave rose out of thin air, transforming into a massive ocean wave.
With a devastating aura, it pounced on Tang San and his group, determined to annihilate them on the spot!
Tang San was completely caught off guard, and his expression changed drastically.
Fortunately, the titled Douluo beside him reacted quickly and immediately joined forces to unleash their soul skills.
They formed a solid defensive barrier, barely managing to block Poseidon's thunderous attack.
Tang San looked at Poseidon, his heart burning with rage: This woman was clearly the Sea God's "dog".
How dare they harm their future "master"? They are simply ignorant of their own limitations and courting death!
But he also knew that Poseidon's strength was unfathomable and that he was no match for him. He could only swallow his anger for the time being and find another way to escape.
The Spirit Hall wanted to kill him, and so did the Seagod Island. Both sides' leaders were level 99 Title Douluos, which put Tang San in a desperate situation.
He thought to himself: If no miracle happens, I'm afraid I'm really going to be doomed this time!
At this critical moment, Tang San's gaze happened to catch a glimpse of the story about Sai Feier on the sky.
Sai Fei'er appears to be a thief, but in reality, she is a chivalrous thief hiding in the shadows, silently protecting ordinary people in the world!
Who says thieves don't have dreams?
Who says that cunning and treacherous people can't contribute to the world?
A flash of inspiration struck Tang San, and he immediately thought of a way to survive.
Tang San stood on the swaying wooden plank, first glaring fiercely at Poseidon, Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue and the others, his eyes filled with resentment and ruthlessness.
Then, he deliberately shifted his position closer to Poseidon and raised his chin.
He adopted an arrogant and self-righteous demeanor and began to speak:
"Poseidon, I admit, a lot of negative stories about me have indeed been exposed on the sky!"
"But first of all, it should be noted that those are things that may not necessarily happen in the future!"
"Secondly, after I, Tang San, became the Sea God, I prevented the Spirit Empire from annexing the two great empires."
He even sacrificed himself to protect ordinary people! Isn't that a tremendous sacrifice for the people of both empires?
"I admit it, I do enjoy launching sneak attacks on others from behind!"
"But the weapons I use are used to fight against those vicious and evil spirit beasts, as well as the ambitious Martial Spirit Empire that wants to unify the continent!"
"My Guanyin tears severely injured Qian Renxue, who had become a god;
My Tang family army, equipped with hidden weapons from head to toe, has repeatedly thwarted the Spirit Empire's army of Soul Masters, becoming a solid bulwark for both empires!
"Above the sky, Sai Fei'er can use theft and deception to obtain treasures to help those poor people."
"And these seemingly low-level hidden weapon techniques of mine have given the two great empires the means to confront the powerful Spirit Hall!"
"If it weren't for me, if it weren't for my Tang family army, and those incredibly powerful hidden weapons I provided."
The two great empires had long since fallen to the iron hooves of the Spirit Empire, resulting in widespread suffering and devastation!
"At that time, the entire Douluo Continent will belong to the Spirit Empire!"
"Poseidon, do you think the Spirit Empire would tolerate a group of Spirit Masters like yours who refuse to submit to their rule on the high seas?"
"If it weren't for me, after the Spirit Empire took control of the Douluo Continent, the next place it would have destroyed would have been your Seagod Island!"
"What I've done, though the methods are underhanded and seemingly despicable, you have to admit, and you have to thank me!"
His voice was forceful, attempting to persuade Poseidon with this sophistry and buy himself a chance at survival.
