Chapter 827
Advancement to High-Level Venerable, Venerable Team Battle Begins
Deep within the territory of the Meijia civilization lies an endless, boundless deep blue.
Billions of tons of seawater flowed serenely, the light gradually dimming with depth, except for one area that radiated an awe-inspiring, sacred aura.
Beneath the endless deep blue, a huge white sphere floats silently, its diameter exceeding twenty kilometers, like an ancient pearl nurtured in the deep sea.
This is the spiritual pillar in the hearts of Meijia people—the Supreme Temple.
Like all the cities built by the people of Mecca, this temple is not permanently rooted in one place, but can move freely in the vast sea, like a wandering holy fortress.
The seawater surrounding the temple presents a peculiar, semi-illusory state.
Within the pale blue curtain of water, countless whirlpools of varying sizes rose and fell, sometimes rapidly twisting and forming shapes, carrying fragments of spiritual light as they spun wildly, and sometimes suddenly collapsing, turning into countless water droplets that dissipated into the seawater.
This is by no means a naturally formed phenomenon; it is undoubtedly a super-strong shield that transcends conventional understanding, silently protecting this sacred place.
Previously, the Supreme Temple was the only holy site of the Mega civilization.
Now, with the establishment of the Azure Sacred Island, the glory of the sacred land has been divided in two.
In the past, the temple would slowly rise to the surface of the ocean every so often to receive the worship and reverence of the entire tribe.
However, ever since the Shadow Temple set its covetous gaze on the Mika civilization, the Supreme Temple, for the sake of stability, completely moved to the remote deep sea region, hiding in the embrace of the endless deep blue.
Deep within the temple's heart lies a colossal hall, its sheer size awe-inspiring.
The dome rises high, stretching for a kilometer, as if supporting a miniature sky.
The surrounding walls are not solid, but formed by flowing seawater, with waves rising and falling gently, and light and shadow flowing freely on the water walls.
Every now and then, giant statues tens of meters high emerge from the water wall—either a phantom of a sea god holding a trident, or an ancient venerable being clad in armor.
Each statue is lifelike, exuding immense power, yet it collapses and returns to the embrace of the sea after a brief appearance, repeating endlessly, like an eternal cycle.
Above the hall.
Countless illusory sea orchids, formed from tiny specks of light, floated slowly. As their petals unfurled, they cast a soft and holy white light, illuminating the entire hall as if it were daytime, adding a touch of ethereal beauty to this sacred place.
At this moment.
A slender yet upright figure was slowly walking towards the high platform in the center of the hall.
This was a woman of breathtaking beauty, wearing a magnificent priestess crown inlaid with deep-sea blue crystals and pearls, the streamlined patterns on the top of the crown resembling surging ocean waves.
She wore an exquisitely beautiful long dress, the fabric of which seemed to be woven from the purest deep-sea waters, its surface shimmering with light.
The skirt is embroidered with intricate sea god totems and sacred patterns, and the light and shadows flow as you walk, so dazzling that it is almost impossible to look directly at it.
"Boom! Boom!"
Footsteps echoed with an extremely steady rhythm within the space named "Hall of the Supreme Sea God".
In the vast Mega civilization, only this place was named after the "Supreme Sea God".
Every few steps, a semi-transparent, vase-shaped phantom would quietly appear behind the beautiful priestess.
The bottle is engraved with the ancient Mega inscription, and pure water slowly sprays out from the mouth of the bottle, dissolving upon landing and scattering into countless tiny particles of light.
The people of Mecca have worshipped the Endless Sea God for generations, and this vase is the "Endless Holy Vase" clearly recorded in the sacred texts.
In the beliefs of the Mija people, all the seawater in the world originates from the gift of this sacred bottle, which is the source of life bestowed upon the people by the sea god.
Through the gaps in the skirt, a pair of long, slender, and beautiful legs with skin as smooth as jade were faintly visible. Her steps were elegant and steady, as if she were walking on light and shadow.
Any normal man who sees those stunningly beautiful legs will have his heart race and will never forget them.
For some people with special hobbies, it's not as simple as "being able to play with it for a year".
It is worth noting that these are human-shaped legs.
It's not that the fish tails are naturally occurring in people from Meijia.
It is obvious that the priestess has participated in the reincarnation ritual and transformed into a human form exactly like Yang Fan, the savior of Meijia.
She is none other than the most beautiful woman recognized by the Meijia civilization, and also the designated candidate for the next Holy High Priestess—the Priestess Lin Yuejia, known as the "Flower of Meijia".
Her willingness to transform into human form undoubtedly confirms that the rumors circulating in Mika's aristocratic circle are not unfounded—the High Priest hopes that she can become Mika's savior's partner and give birth to offspring with the savior's bloodline.
The silence in the hall lasted only ten seconds, the next second—
"Oh!"
A soft sound echoed slowly in the grand and spacious hall.
Lin Yuejia's right foot steadily stepped onto the first step of the central circular platform.
This hundred-meter-high circular platform is also made of condensed seawater, with a surface as clear as glass, in which countless tiny blue light spots float.
Upon closer inspection, one will discover that each point of light is surrounded by hazy light and shadow, as if it contains a miniature world.
The priestess's flawless right foot, barefoot and with skin as white as jade, touched the cool steps without any obstruction.
The moment they touched it, an extraordinary phenomenon occurred!
Layers of pale golden ripples spread out instantly from the contact point of the steps, sweeping across the entire hundred-meter-long circular platform like a tide.
Wherever the ripples passed, blue lights on the table surface lit up, their rays intertwining into a net that flowed endlessly.
"Boom--!"
A deep, muffled roar suddenly exploded, not from beside the ears, but resounding directly into the depths of everyone's soul.
The entire Supreme Sea God Hall trembled slightly, and hundreds of giant statues, each tens of meters tall, instantly appeared on the "water walls" formed from seawater all around.
The statues, whether incarnations of sea gods or ancient priests, all bow their heads in devout prayer, radiating an immense aura of power.
In the corridors on both sides of the hall, tens of thousands of priests dressed in uniform robes stood in neat rows with their hands raised.
The temple priestesses were all women, and they were generally beautiful. Their well-tailored priestly robes perfectly showcased their alluring curves.
Looking around, this place is a vibrant and lively matriarchal society.
On the palms of the priests, illusory holy candles appeared one after another.
A pale blue candle flame was quietly lit, with shimmering, illusory ripples spreading around its light.
As the water flowed, a sacred halo spread out, making the entire hall appear even more solemn.
Lin Yuejia, with a solemn expression, steadily ascended the steps, slowly chanting.
Her voice was exquisitely beautiful, like a deep-sea spring dripping onto a rock, or like celestial music lingering in one's ears, enough to captivate one to the very depths of their soul.
"Supreme Lord of All Seas, you slumber within the core of the endless deep blue..."
As soon as the first line was sung, hundreds of giant statues on the water wall of the hall began to speak in unison, their deep chants like thunder, intertwining with Lin Yuejia's singing.
"The supreme lord of all seas..."
Tens of thousands of priests also began chanting in unison, their voices perfectly synchronized, like a precise musical composition.
"You slumber within the core of endless deep blue..."
All the sounds converged and blended, yet instead of creating any noise, they formed a powerful torrent, making the sacred atmosphere of the entire temple even more intense.
Silver hair falls down, submerging the tides of eternity; eyes gently close, awaiting the cycle of time.
"Please open your sleeping eyes and pierce through the dark barriers of the deep sea..."
If there were powerful figures at the Venerable level, they could have been spying on the deep-sea area where the temple was located from afar.
They will clearly sense that the vast amount of water-based laws contained beneath this sea is being rapidly extracted by the Supreme Temple at an alarming rate.
The fluctuations of the laws converged towards the core of the temple like a tide, their aura vast and profound.
"Gaze upon this land you have protected, and scrutinize those who covet it from the shadows."
"They lurk in the abyss's rifts, silently approaching with an aura of destruction..." As Lin Yuejia climbed the steps, the strange phenomena in the hall became increasingly astonishing.
The illusory sea orchids floating above the hall emitted slender and dazzling white light threads.
The light filaments crisscrossed in mid-air, rapidly weaving into a huge net of light that enveloped the entire circular platform.
"Please awaken the power of the vast ocean, and condense the divine eye, so that all evil may have nowhere to hide!"
After this chant was uttered, the light and shadow in the center of the light net began to twist and converge, and a giant eyeball slowly took shape.
The diameter of the eyeball continued to expand, eventually exceeding three hundred meters, like a giant divine eye hanging in the sky above the hall, radiating an awe-inspiring pressure.
This giant eye is like a nested doll, with countless pupils of different sizes nested inside the pupil, but each eyeball is tightly closed.
"...Let all evil have nowhere to hide!"
"...Nowhere to hide!"
"...Disappear!"
The giant statues and the harmonies of tens of thousands of priests echoed and reverberated in the Supreme Sea God Hall, the sound waves causing the air to ripple with pale blue light.
The power contained within intertwines with the laws of water, subtly evoking a profound resonance that reaches the very source of heaven and earth, making the oppressive aura of the entire temple even heavier.
Finally, Lin Yuejia stepped onto the top of the circular platform and stood upright for a moment.
"boom!"
A dazzling blue beam of light descended from the deepest part of the dome, completely enveloping Lin Yuejia.
The holy light from the pillar was clear and sacred, making her clothes almost transparent and outlining her incredibly perfect body contours, every line of which was like a masterpiece sculpted by the sea god himself.
This scene contained not a trace of ambiguity or vulgarity, but only a divine and sacred beauty that transcended the mundane world, inspiring awe and making one dare not look directly at it.
"Boom! Boom!"
A deep, heavy heartbeat suddenly sounded, not from Lin Yuejia, but as if it came from the very core of the endless deep sea.
Each pulsation caused the entire Supreme Sea God Hall to tremble slightly, and even the deep sea outside the temple rippled with echoing waves.
It was as if some great being, who had been asleep for countless ages, was slowly awakening.
After a while.
Within that colossal divine eye, three hundred meters in diameter, nested, matryoshka-like pupils opened simultaneously, unleashing countless bursts of shimmering white divine light.
His gaze pierced through the void, as if it could tear apart the barriers of time and space, and see through all the secrets of the universe.
at the same time.
Lin Yuejia's beautiful eyes suddenly shone like stars, and countless illusions flashed rapidly in the depths of her eyes—these were distant scenes perceived by her divine eyes.
Inside the hall, the giant statue that had been chanting was suddenly frozen in a prayer pose.
Tens of thousands of priests fell silent, only the sacred candles in their palms continued to burn quietly, their pale blue flames swaying gently in the stillness, reflecting the solemnity of the entire hall.
I don't know how much time passed.
The earth-shaking "thump-thump" of heartbeats gradually slowed down and subsided, and the blue pillar of light descending from the dome also dimmed considerably.
As the holy light faded, Lin Yuejia's clothes seemed to be reversed in time, solidifying and covering her body again, restoring her original appearance.
Just then.
Suddenly, the seawater beside them surged, and with a "whoosh," several waves swirled and coalesced, transforming into a ring-shaped portal shimmering with a pale blue halo.
An aged figure slowly floated out of the doorway; it was an old woman with white hair.
Her full head of silver hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and her face was etched with the lines of time, yet her eyes were sharp and insightful, revealing a wisdom that seemed to see through everything.
In her right hand she held an ancient and majestic scepter, the top of which was inlaid with a shimmering crystal, within which seemed to flow like stars and reflect the passage of time.
This is a rare, grade-seven material of immeasurable value—Time Crystal.
Every member of the Meijia family knows that only the High Priest is qualified to wield this sacred scepter that carries the legacy of civilization.
The visitor was none other than Anjafina, the third-generation Holy High Priestess of the Miga Civilization.
Lin Yuejia lowered her head slightly and bowed respectfully to the old woman: "Teacher."
She knew in her heart that the "Sacred Eye of the Sea God" ceremony should have been presided over by the teacher himself.
However, the two Venerables of the Shadow Temple had already set their sights on Anjafina and had been interfering with her with secret techniques for days, making it difficult for her to concentrate on casting spells.
The teacher used his own strength as bait, deliberately revealing a weakness to lure the opponent into using several powerful secret techniques in succession, thus creating a brief "power gap".
She was able to seize this fleeting opportunity and complete the Sea God's Eye Ceremony in one go.
Lin Yuejia could clearly sense that her teacher's aura was noticeably weaker than usual, and even his hair looked more withered. Clearly, he had paid a considerable price in his essence to create this momentary opportunity.
This sacrifice intensified her hatred for the Shadow Temple, and an uncontrollable rage surged in her eyes.
Anjafina raised the Holy Revelation Scepter, the Time Crystal flickered slightly, and her aged voice slowly rang out: "My student, have you seen the enemy's situation through the power of the Supreme Sea God's divine eye?"
Lin Yuejia bowed solemnly and replied, "Yes, teacher. The number of high-ranking Venerables who are spying on the Shadow Palace of my Meijia civilization has increased to six, two more than three days ago. The total number of Venerables they have dispatched has reached forty-three, an increase of twelve."
She paused, her voice filled with undisguised sorrow: "It seems the Shadow Palace intends to completely destroy the Mika civilization and erase our civilization from the original world."
The eight Venerables of this world alone could hardly withstand so many Venerable-level enemies.
Anjafina gripped the shaft of the Holy Revelation Scepter, her sigh echoing through the hall: "The final moment of destiny has finally arrived."
She took a step forward, a smile spreading across her old face: "Fortunately, we have invited our savior."
Lin Yuejia nodded solemnly: "Yes."
The vast majority of Americans believe that the savior's salvation will take place in the distant future.
But the priestess knew that the truth was not so.
Before the cataclysmic disaster strikes, the savior will intervene multiple times to save the Miga civilization from peril.
The battle against the Venerable Ones of the Shadow Palace is a crucial one.
The existence of a savior is far more crucial to the survival of civilization than ordinary Americans imagine.
For the first time, a genuine expression appeared on Anjafina's face: "Has Your Majesty the Savior completed your advancement?"
Lin Yuejia's eyes instantly lit up with joy: "It's finished!"
She continued, "When I was presiding over the Sea God's Eye ceremony just now, I used the power of the Sea God to peek into the direction of Azure Sacred Island."
"I can clearly sense that an extremely powerful pressure of law has been generated from the Savior, which is much stronger than that of His Majesty Ganaro."
Her Majesty Ganalo is already a veteran high-level Venerable. Logically speaking, it is unlikely that a newly promoted high-level Venerable would be stronger than Her Majesty.
But everyone knows that the Savior Megaya is no ordinary Venerable One, so it's not surprising that this situation has occurred.
Lin Yuejia then showed a hint of surprise: "But His Majesty's condition is extremely strange. When I was observing, I saw that his appearance was constantly changing."
"At first glance, it appears as its original form; at second glance, it transforms into a young child; and at third glance, it becomes an old man in his twilight years."
She thought for a moment, then added, "Your Majesty seems to have transformed into time itself."
A relieved smile suddenly spread across Anjafina's withered face: "It seems that His Holiness the Savior has completely mastered the power of the Ring of Time, and our chances of winning this battle of the Venerables have increased even more."
"Buzz!"
The Holy Revelation Scepter suddenly trembled, and the Time Crystal on it emitted a bright seven-colored light.
The High Priest glanced over and said softly, "His Holiness the Savior has completed preparations; it is time to begin the war!" (End of Chapter)
