Chapter 306 - Chapter 306: Chapter 291 Displaying Miracles (2/2)
The Fischer family had held several meetings and decided to manage the Sea God Cult’s territories through this guise for the time being, because directly replacing the Sea God Cult was difficult, met with great resistance, and would bring about immense trouble.
Ian was their chosen proxy.
Had Cyan Blue not sacrificed himself years ago, this position would have been his to take over.
At this moment, Ian on the beach was surrounded by hundreds of Sea God Cult followers, who had already secretly decided to overthrow Ian here and appoint a new Priest to take over.
It wasn’t that Ian had exposed his true identity, but that he seemed too weak, likely lacking the strength of the Transmutation Level, utterly unworthy of being a Priest.
“You are simply unworthy of being the High Priest of the Cult!”
The leader among those followers was an Extraordinary Exponent of the mid-level Transmutation, in his forties, with the chance to reach high-level Transmutation in the future.
He walked up furiously, pointing his finger at Ian and said,
“I am the one chosen by the Sea God! Ian, go into the sea yourself and be embraced by the belly of the Sea God—that is an honor and a destiny for you!”
Ian calmly watched the hundreds of dissenting followers gathering before him, knowing deep down that he was betrayed by someone close.
Among these followers, there were more than thirty Extraordinary Exponents, and at least half of them could kill him; his own followers were nowhere to be seen at this moment.
They had either betrayed him or been controlled.
Everything seemed to have reached a dead end.
It didn’t matter.
He nodded lightly and, looking at everyone who was staring at him, said, “I won’t argue anything because I am the person chosen by the Sea God.”
“Undoubtedly, we have been oppressed by the Cyart people to the brink of life and death, and the future must be corrected by me, rectifying the already chaotic world.”
“Everything is the choice of the Sea God, and you are about to witness it.”
Having said that, Ian turned without hesitation and walked towards the vast ocean behind him.
The hundreds of rebelling Sea God followers silently watched the scene, and the leading Extraordinary Exponents knew very well that the man would die once he entered the sea, as he had no ability to survive in the ocean.
Ian closed his eyes and silently prayed in the depths of his heart.
O great Lord of the Lost.
Please protect your people.
I will make all the children of the White Sea your most faithful servants.
Please grant me mercy!
Finally, he walked step by step into the seawater, his tall and lean body completely submerged by the ocean, disappearing from sight.
The leading rebel sneered, saying, “It seems our Sea God did not protect him.”
“From now on…”
Just as the leading rebel was about to continue, suddenly someone beside him shouted,
“Look over there!”
The next instant, everyone saw a sight so astonishing, it seemed exaggerated!
They noticed a school of fish swimming unnaturally in the water, at times forming whirlpools, at times creating beautiful patterns, as if displaying extraordinary power within some divine oracle.
Suddenly, Ian, who had sunk into the sea, resurfaced!
He calmly stepped on the backs of the fish, and with each step he took, the school seemed to sense Ian’s intentions, twisting like dancers and gradually forming a brand-new “staircase”!
With the staircase formed by the fish under his feet, Ian walked towards the shore with a calm and devout expression, his demeanor serene.
The spellbound Sea God Cult followers all kneeled down, terrified out of their wits, praying and begging for mercy.
“A miracle! Sea God, please forgive us; we did not know he was the one you chose!”
“A true miracle! It’s a miracle! Your Majesty Sea God, we were deceived!”
“The Sea God protects him; Ian should indeed be our only Priest!”
The leading rebel was stunned for a moment, then suddenly bellowed,
“No, he must have used some kind of powerful Mysterious rare artifact, it’s just extraordinary power, definitely not the protection of the Sea God!”
Above the sky, suddenly dark clouds gathered, casting a heavy shadow over the entire sky, as if even the earth trembled before it.
The leading rebel stared dumbfounded, trembling all over.
“What’s happening?”
Suddenly, bolts of lightning sliced through the clouds like blades, and the rumbling sound of thunder was deafening, as if the gods themselves were roaring in anger!
Amidst the interwoven electric light, the earth seemed engulfed by this endless rage, all turning dark and majestic. The unexpected lightning and thunder shattered the tranquility, igniting lightning that terrified all insignificant beings!
Fierce lightning struck down, and amidst the flash of white light, it charred the leading rebel to a crisp on the spot!
After witnessing this scene, everyone was utterly convinced that the man was the favored one of the Sea God, and as Ian walked back from the ocean, everyone knelt before him in adoration, even willing to die for him.
“The Sea God has chosen me, and I will protect you in place of the great Him.”
Ian slowly opened his arms, raised his head, and couldn’t suppress the excitement deep inside.
O great Lord of the Lost!
Once again, I have witnessed Your mighty power!
Undoubtedly, You will always be the master of the White Sea! The people of the White Sea will become Your most faithful servants!
