The Growth of a God

Chapter 324 - 15: Flood of Apocalypse

Deep in the South Sea, at the Bottomless Abyss.

This is the end of the ocean, the source of all water in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Theoretically, mountains and rivers flow into the ocean, and the ocean eventually flows into the Bottomless Abyss.

This is a cyclical process, a dynamic balance for the whole world.

However, this balance meant to maintain the world’s cycle has obviously been broken.

At the entrance to the Bottomless Abyss, a giant turtle, too colossal to describe in words, has blocked it, forcing the ocean currents to stop circulating.

The waters of mountains and rivers cannot enter the Bottomless Abyss, and the sea level is rising at a terrifying speed.

For the whole world, this rise in sea level might not seem fast.

But for living creatures, it may take only a few years for them to feel the dire consequences of the disrupted ocean currents.

[Do you really intend to persist in this recklessness?]

The invisible ocean currents converged into form, and huge eyes opened on the seabed.

With the "Flood dragon" form, the Merfolk Spirit appeared majestic and solemn, with words revealing unequivocal rebuke.

[Your actions are disrupting the world’s cycle; the Creator would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen!]

Facing the Merfolk Spirit’s reprimands and dissuasion, the giant turtle merely poked its head out and smirked disdainfully.

[Others may not know about your past, but do you think I don’t know?]

[You are but a counterfeit lucky enough to catch the Creator’s eye and be pardoned, and yet you have the audacity to call yourself the ’Creator Incarnation’!]

With a calm gaze fixed on the giant turtle, the Merfolk Spirit’s body sometimes blended into the ocean, sometimes gathered into form, giving a feeling of unpredictability.

[I never call myself the ’Creator Incarnation,’ and I am fully aware of the sins I once committed.]

[I am now just telling you as a senior not to continue down the wrong path, as your actions will only invite the Creator’s punishment!]

On hearing this, the giant turtle’s face showed a human-like mocking expression.

[The Immortal once said, heaven and earth are indifferent, treating all things as straw dogs.]

[The Creator will not pity us because of our prayers, nor become angry because of our hostility.]

[Whether we believe or not, whether we care or not, He exists there, an eternal and immutable truth.]

After a slight pause in tone, the giant turtle continued.

[Storm Apostle Ji Meng was born amidst the apocalypse of the world...]

[Death Apostle Yao Xin was born in the evolution of the Netherworld...]

[Do you know what this means?]

[It means the birth of apostles accompanies disaster and will bring new changes to the world.]

[As long as I can bring a brand-new change to this world, as long as I can become the fifth Supreme Apostle, the Creator will assuredly not mind the deaths of ordinary creatures.]

[That is the Creator’s will; that is the truth I pursue on this path!]

Even though this wasn’t the first time the Merfolk Spirit heard such fallacious arguments from the giant turtle, it still couldn’t help but show anger.

[That is not the Creator’s will!]

[That is merely your own ambition!]

[You deliberately misinterpreted the words of the Immortal, just to find a reasonable excuse for your ’apocalyptic actions.’]

[If the Creator truly didn’t care about the deaths of ordinary creatures, how did you and I come into existence and reach this point?]

[Don’t forget, before we became Ascenders, we were the ordinary creatures you mentioned that could be sacrificed at any time!]

Faced with the Merfolk Spirit’s rage, the giant turtle merely smiled calmly.

[Different paths don’t call for common plans; I’ve never sought your endorsement of my principles.]

[If you have the capability, come and try to stop me!]

.........................................................

At the same time, at the edge of the East Sea, in the Skeleton City.

"The water level is rising again..."

Looking worriedly at the various data on the dashboard, Yun Gun hated the feeling of being aware of the disaster but unable to stop it from happening.

"Should we continue digging the canal?"

"If we continue digging the canal, we might need help from the Central City over there."

Unlike Yun Gun, who was a Merfolk, his Skeleton subordinates were evidently calmer and more rational, proposing more practical demands.

"Even if we dig out new canals, it’s still impossible to completely accommodate the rising water levels."

"If the root cause of the rising water levels can’t be resolved, at most within a century, the entire land will be submerged by seawater."

Upon hearing this from his subordinates, Yun Gun couldn’t help but sigh.

"Upload all our observed data to the ’Mountain and Sea Network,’ so everyone can brainstorm together to solve this kind of problem."

With the popularization of [Mountain and Sea Network], similar "online meetings" and "online discussions" have long been a daily routine for the Mountain and Sea People.

In this regard, the Mountain and Sea People have demonstrated a distinct internet development direction compared to Earth humans.

Compared to information reserve and accumulation, the [Mountain and Sea Network] places more emphasis on real-time interactions and professional exchanges.

Of course, this is also related to the existence of the [Cyber Network], a more entertainment-oriented, expansive, cross-time-space network.

"By the way, how’s the situation over at the Chishui River?"

"I just received news that the battle there has officially started; what’s the current status?"

Shifting away from his professional field, Yun Gun quickly focused his attention on the battle situation at the Chishui River.

After all, from a certain perspective, understanding the root cause of the frenzy of epic creatures on the frontlines might help solve the problem of the rising water levels in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

In fact, many Wise Men and Prophets in the Mountain and Sea Realm have already realized the correlation between the two.

"The situation is a bit deadlocked, but it’s not a big problem."

In this area, the Skeletons are far more professional than Yun Gun.

"Those wisdom beings who have started the ’Ascension Ladder’ have already been pinned down by our Ascenders..."

"The remaining epic creatures can’t stir up any waves; there’s no need to worry about them breaking through Chishui’s defenses."

Gently shaking its skull, the Skeleton further added.

"I’ve obtained internal information that the Zhiku’s Prophets have dispatched a secret team deep into the South Sea, trying to find a way to break this disaster."

The information provided by the Skeleton was indeed something Yun Gun hadn’t known, so his face showed a hint of curiosity.

"A secret team? What secret team?"

"The ’Bottomless Abyss’ deep in the South Sea is the final destination of mountains and rivers, and even the top Ascenders may not necessarily emerge unscathed?"
