Chapter 912: Lord Umibo, Sea Beast Clan 1
"Umibozu..."
"In the legend of Narukamijima, they often attacked cargo ships sailing far away and robbed fishermen of their catches... so they were hunted to extinction by humans.
Kumi looked at the huge skeleton with sadness.
"But here—my mother's homeland, the Haizhi people's dictionary does not give her race an umbrella name."
She reached out and touched the bones, then paused.
"But... the locals will give each individual a unique name."
"Because they think... just like us, each of them is alone. Lonely, docile, and indifferent to the curiosity and hostility of the world outside of their own..."
In the sunlight, although there was a god standing next to her, the girl was still alone, lonely and pessimistic.
Jiang Yi didn't know how to evaluate this outlook on life, so he could only listen quietly.
"Wandering alone in the ocean current, suffocating to death alone on the shallows." The more Kumei spoke, the sadder she became, as if the feeling of wandering alone floated in her heart along with her words.
I suddenly felt even more sad about the death of my friend.
"The old people on the island said that 'Quintilo' is the archaic reading of 'whale'."
"Although the Quintillo is very large, it is not a whale!"
"I chose this name just because I like it..."
Kumi's voice was soft and slightly willful.
Jiang Yi thought for a moment and said, "It sounds nice. I think...she is also very happy to have this name."
He looked at the sea beast in front of him. A sea beast spirit that was invisible to ordinary people was staring at Kumi.
"Thank you!" Kumi said, "God, my good friend...maybe he is the last of his kind."
The sea beast spirit shook his head.
"I am so glad that I can become friends with her, close the distance between us, empathize with each other's loneliness and pain, let go of fear and defense... and reach a true understanding."
The spirit of the sea beast shook its head continuously.
"Cough cough!" Jiang Yi looked strange and coughed twice.
Jiumei didn't care, and all she had in her eyes were the skeletons of sea beasts: "We enjoy loneliness together, and we enjoy the loneliness that is shared. But... after I grew up, I left Haizhi Island for a long time... Now that I finally have the chance to come back again, I find it's too late..."
"I came from Narukami Island just to visit it and stay for a while."
She turned sideways and looked towards the god.
"As you can see, my friend is deceased."
"The way home was blocked by the war and I was stranded for a long time."
"But... maybe we got some good news recently and today."
"…Because of you, the war outside seems to have stopped. Although peace talks have not yet begun, the armies of both sides no longer clash. The only threats on the road are pirates and foreign Fatui."
"I just saw the spirit of Kundiro."
"I didn't expect that she had been waiting for me and accompanying me."
“I can feel the communication of the heart.”
She covered the bones with one hand and her heart with the other.
The sea beast spirit stared at her blankly.
He shook his head helplessly.
"I heard that the God has returned from Ming Shen Island. Do you have the flowers of Rai Sakura in your hand? Quintiluo likes the flowers of Rai Sakura very much, but I can't go back to Ming Shen Island for the time being. The army of Kaiji Island warned me not to take the danger outside lightly."
Kumi thought of something again and looked for it on her clothes.
"These are the shells and conchs I picked up. Can I use them as offerings in exchange for Lei Ying's flowers?" She took out some small and exquisite shells and conchs.
"Of course!" Jiang Yi said, and an equal amount of red cherry hydrangeas appeared in his hand as an exchange for the shell conch in Kumi's hand.
The mutual giving between God and the people will give birth to a tiny amount of divine power even without faith.
Jiang Yi explored the mystery of this offering and gift.
"Thank you!" Kumei always seems to be slow in speaking and doing things. Jing Jingru immerses most of her mind in her own world, with only one window open for communicating with others. Therefore, interactions with outsiders seldom cause any waves in her "heart".
That is the high wall built in the heart of a lonely person.
Jiumei weaved a wreath on the beach and placed it on the bone pillar of "Quindiro".
Talking softly to "Quindila".
Jiang Yi glowed with divine light.
A sea beast spirit with a round, black head and huge body appeared in front of Kumi.
Kumi was shocked.
Then, he reacted, touched, and his hand suddenly passed through the illusory "Quindiro".
"I came here...actually to convey a message to you on her behalf."
"Quintilo, wants to tell her friends that she is not alone."
Jiang Yi smiled and said, "She has many descendants who live in the ocean."
"She is happy."
"She didn't get stranded here, like a stupid whale, coming to the beach in pain, struggling to die..."
"She just wanted to come to this familiar place when she was dying, to tell you in this way that she had lived a complete life."
The sea beast spirit nodded.
"...Ah! Is that so?" Kumi felt embarrassed in her heart, but she appeared to accept it calmly.
After all, they are friends, and that is true, not false.
"Of course, for more clues, you can ask... a scholar from the Xumi Teachings Institute who is investigating the marine ecology on Haizhi Island." Jiang Yi pointed at Kundiluo and said, "This is not an illusion of the gods playing a trick on people! Her bones have traces of her lifelong childbirth and her painless arrival on the beach."
"Is it...Anisa?" Kumi thought of a female scholar from Xumi who was worried about her thesis.
The spirit of the sea beast was intimate and gentle, and with the wisdom of a human being, it looked at its childhood companion, the human girl.
She began to swim.
"Kundilo?" Kumi felt something.
"Are you leaving?" She looked at the old sea beast whose huge body and illusory body also brought powerful oppression.
"She will return to the deep sea, but don't be sad, she is not far from Haizhi Island." Jiang Yi looked at the old sea beast spirit coming to him.
"Umibozu" is a huge, intelligent and ferocious sea monster among the residents of Narukami Island. It is the biggest enemy of sailors, but it also has a gentle side.
They are smart and proud... They carry the glory of the ancient deep sea. The sea beasts participated in the war between demons and gods, spread across the ocean, shook the seas, and shook the glory of the continents and archipelagos.
They are the undisputed overlords of the sea.
They reject the demon people on land, but... they can be tolerant towards the followers of the deep sea and the people of the sea.
The god of the sea people was once a member of the deep sea.
In many seas, they have become extinct, but in the seas around Haizhi Island, they are still not...
This is an old friendship.
Therefore, they can develop close ties with the people of this sea, the humans on the islands.
In the eyes of many scholars, this is an incredible, unprecedented and interesting phenomenon.
The king of the deep sea has inherited his authority from a new god, and he is now the only monarch of the sea.
The sea only has four seas in the east, south, west and north, and all of us spirits respect nature.
"I promised the sea beasts the right to live here forever."
"You have the right to maintain the marine ecology and protect rare fish. You can express the anger of the sea to the people on land who severely damage the sea, but you must not...kill innocent people on land or damage ships."
This is Jiang Yi’s promise to this sea area and the sea beasts.
Memories before traveling through time, and what I saw and heard here.
He is well aware of the bad nature of human beings. Once they lose their reverence for the sea and life, it will cause an extinction-level disaster to marine life.
Then the sea and its creatures must take revenge.
Jiang Yi's position is not in the deep sea or on land, but in the balance of good and evil in all things.
He is not against science and technology, but against the abuse of science and technology.
Just as humans destroy the land, he will make the land retaliate.
The cycle of retribution for good and evil has always been the same for the entire heaven and earth. To cherish all things does not just mean to cherish human beings. It is just that there is a bias due to birth and recognition.
The sun and the moon are eternal, and the Tao is eternal.
Jiang Yi's aura was ethereal, and the people in the world and all things in nature seemed to be responding.
It seems as if there is a vague and grand authority, interwoven with the laws of all things, hidden in the darkness, waiting for creatures who are "in line with this principle".
Knowledge, behavior, ideas... are the seeds of divinity.
It is not an inherited divine power. It requires the resonance of the seed of divinity and the laws of heaven and earth to condense power.
The concepts of good and evil, cherishing all things, things that many people sneer at, are actually one of the fundamentals of a certain divinity...
The superior man, when he hears the Truth, diligently practices it; the average man, when he hears the Truth, is uncertain about it; the inferior man, when he hears the Truth, laughs at it out loud.
You holy mother!
It is better to kill, kill, kill and enter the path of destruction.
Jiang Yi’s choice is still the way of the immortal saints.
The deep sea knows me!
The earth knows me!
All spirits know me!
So treat me with your heart!
Kundiluo prostrated himself at Jiang Yi's feet, his illusory body sinking into the sand.
With his head slightly raised, the invisible, all-spiritual faith lifted Jiang Yi up incredibly.
Her wish here is understood!
After the grand offering of gifts by the fish, it is time for the Dragon King to parade.
The patrol of the territory of Haizhi Island had already been completed by the priestesses of Haizhi and Lord God long ago. So now, she was representing the deep sea clan to patrol the four seas.
Everyone you see are your people.
"Quintilo..." Kumi, the only spectator at the starting point of the pilgrimage, looked at the body of Quintilo that was emitting the deep blue light of the sea. The body, which was already as big as several houses lined up side by side, became twice as big, blocking the view.
The waves were pushed aside, and the sea seemed to have paved a holy road.
Jiang Yi laughed as he looked at the shimmering light and the deep-sea spirits that had already reached the coast.
"Then meet... my Sihai!"
He put on divine attire, a white dragon robe, a crown made of coral, and eyes made of the sun and the moon.
Kundiluo carried Jiang Yi and slowly sank into the sea. The sea surface became calm, but the bottom of the sea became noisy.
The distant cry of sea beasts, like that of whales, echoed from afar with their calls.
Then, in the vast ocean, the roars of sea beasts responded.
They are the descendants of Quintillo, her fellow tribesmen.
A group of sea beasts that exist in this sea area.
It was dark and overwhelming, pushing away the ocean currents and creating countless dark whirlpools.
At the same time, countless sea fish covered the space under the sea and continued to gather from afar.
All the ships in the surrounding waters were driven away by the huge waves.
"Captain..." The sailor looked at the sea in horror.
Many huge shadows appeared in the entire deep ocean, carrying terrifying and ferocious power.
There was no storm or dark clouds in the sky, but the surface of the sea was undulating like mountains.
