Chapter 304: Chapter 289 Sea God Awakens
Cataclysmic changes had already taken place over the White Sea.
The gloomy sky loomed over the ocean, with dark clouds growing denser, signaling nature’s most violent omen. Suddenly, the dim sea surface began to roil restlessly, as if an ancient behemoth, struggling in its slumber, frantically sought to rise.
With the roars of the raging waves, rows of pitch-black surges slowly rose, attacking the many islands upon the White Sea with destructive force.
Fierce currents ravaged everything in their path, tearing the once calm ocean into myriad spreading disasters, surging toward the coastal regions with anger.
Countless fishermen knelt on their boats, some hoping the Tempest Overlord would save them, while others prayed for the Sea God’s mercy.
In the northern seaside city of Carnia, there stood a colossal Tempest Church temple, with a dome a hundred meters above the ground, housing an immense statue of the Tempest Overlord.
The Cardinal of the Tempest Church stepped out from the temple at a leisurely pace, surrounded by worshipful followers.
“The Cardinal has emerged!”
“We praise you from the heart, emissary of the Overlord!”
“Praise be to you, Cardinal!”
He was a tall old man in a cyan-blue velvet robe, with white glasses, standing placidly in the midst of the temple.
He didn’t even glance at the surrounding devotees but looked toward the southeast.
“The White Sea…”
As the position of Pope of the Tempest Church had been vacant for many years, the affairs of the Tempest Church had been decided by three Cardinals over the past decades. This tall old man in the cyan-blue robe was responsible for the East of the continent and was also the most senior member of the church, having long stood at the center of power.
His name was Kirill Ivan, from the Thrums Dukedom, known to the people as “Pitch Black Tidal Surge.”
The old man’s gaze swept towards the distance, and he felt a rising tide in the depths of his heart.
He stretched out his hand, pointing toward the White Sea in the southeast.
The hundreds of devotees constantly kneeling outside the temple turned in unison, all looking in that direction.
“That self-proclaimed Sea God monster has awoken again, and this time, its period of lucidity will likely be even longer,” he said.
“Some cities along the White Sea may be swiftly destroyed because of this.”
He took a deep breath, prepared deep inside to sacrifice his own soul and fortify the Seal against the Sea God, readying it to enter slumber once more!
He must set off to the White Sea immediately, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginably severe!
“Pitch Black Tidal Surge” Kirill was acutely aware that in an age after the silence of the gods, among the Eastern Four Kingdoms of the Ouden Continent, there was simply nobody capable of countering a beast with the power of Heavenly Enlightenment!
Should he stand idly by, in just a few years, the entire east of the Ouden Continent would likely become part of the vast ocean, and no terrestrial life in the Eastern Four Kingdoms would survive!
“Let’s go, to the White Sea,” he declared.
Simultaneously.
In the imperial capital of the Seven Stars Empire, the world-renowned city praised as the “City of Flowers,” “City of Romance,” and “City of Arts,” Venlo.
It was a city that intoxicated the senses, filled with unique charisma and prosperity, its elegant architecture, rich history, and legacies of the past era celebrated worldwide.
At the central location of “City of Arts” Venlo was a resplendently golden palace.
Beautiful golden clouds spread on the ground as the foundation of the palace, with the opulent palace sitting atop them like icing on a golden cake, dozens of meters above the ground.
People needed to climb up the white stairs to reach the golden clouds and enter this palace filled with artistic ambiance.
Deep within this glistening palace, a man with a stern face, white hair cascading over his shoulders, strikingly handsome and flawless skin, sat upon the throne.
He was the highly revered emperor of the Qi Yao People! The likely strongest Bloodline Knight in the world! The “Military God” who had led the Qi Yao People to resist the encirclement of the Lorne citizens singlehandedly!
Miller Corsica!
He had been sitting with his eyes closed but suddenly opened them, revealing profound and captivating eyes, thoughtfully gazing eastward, the urge to rush over emerging from the deepest reaches of his heart.
“No, I can’t go east yet…”
The Seven Stars Emperor slowly shook his head, calmly addressing a female servant at his side:
“There is still power left there from Them, it’s a forbidden zone for the Heavenly Enlightenments.”
“You go in my place.”
The servant bowed with near-perfect grace, elegantly replying:
“Certainly, Your Majesty.”
The Seven Stars Emperor fell into deep contemplation.
“Why exactly are the Heavenly Enlightenments forbidden to go there, what is so special about the east of Ouden Continent?”
Apart from the Cardinal of the Tempest Church and the Seven Stars Emperor, many others across the Claud World felt the change simultaneously, gradually becoming aware that some mighty ancient being had awakened!
“That so-called ‘Sea God’ beneath the White Sea?”
“A monster from the last epoch has awakened, huh…”
“Before They left, we humans lived in constant anxiety, barely able to catch our breath. After Their departure, the world’s trend toward increasing chaos has indeed become inevitable.”

Over the White Sea, violent tsunamis surged fiercely, one after another, engulfing hundreds of fishermen into the boiling tumult, awakening a fearsomely powerful existence!
“Roar!”
