Chapter 797: Ocean God Shrine

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Watching as the army and the Kraken effortlessly controlled the situation, Ji Chen focused his attention on the Ocean God’s Shrine, closing his eyes and gradually releasing his spirit.

As his spiritual tentacles touched, his consciousness was sucked into a vortex.

In a trance, a familiar feeling arose in his heart, an experience he had encountered when he touched the Trident in the icy wilderness.

A highly familiar power emanated from the depths of the vortex, faintly calling out like a child crying for its mother. Ji Chen sensed it, releasing the ocean’s power from his body generously.

Feeling the familiar aura, the child’s cries ceased quickly, merging joyfully with him, expressing decades of grievances and loneliness.

It seemed to blame why it hadn’t been found earlier.

Perhaps evolving rudimentary intelligence, the Ocean God’s Shrine retained some memories of the divine battle.

In that river of memories, he saw frozen frames.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Ocean God was besieged while protecting the orderly legion’s retreat. Ultimately, he fell, exhausting his strength, and his oceanic power divided into four parts.

One part turned into the Trident and remained at the place of the fall.

One part was taken away by the Ocean Goddess to appease the ocean’s riot caused by the Ocean God’s fall.

One part fled autonomously to a location in the eastern Pacific Ocean.

One part was sealed within the shrine and brought by the orderly gods to the Sea of Death to suppress and repair the damaged space and rules.

This meant that now, there were only three strands of oceanic power left, with two already in Ji Chen’s hands.

This absorption and fusion were not as painful and arduous as the first time he absorbed the Trident’s oceanic power.

It was like having experience after the initial development and encounter.

The path had been opened, and obstacles had been removed.

Therefore, it was smooth sailing all the way.

Ji Chen felt his consciousness enveloped in warm water, constantly absorbing power. Waves of overflowing energy flowed through his body, breaking through all blockages.

His soul couldn’t help but emit a comfortable moan.

At the same time, the believers at the Ocean God’s Shrine seemed to sense something, all looking towards the sky with infinite fervor.

Their “deity” was becoming more and more powerful!

A plump elf in a robe who had just stepped off the ship couldn’t help but turn to the side, a hint of surprise and doubt in the green eyes under the brim of her hat.

Here, she unexpectedly felt waves of faith emanating from some residents of the Ocean Crown. Subconsciously, she thought it was the believers of that sect praying.

It was strange because this was the Ocean Crown. There shouldn’t be any sect that could spread faith here. Moreover, the elves wouldn’t allow the Light Church to spread teachings on their territory, let alone this being their headquarters.

But then, she suddenly froze.

A possible guess dawned on her—could the faith of these residents be directed towards him!?

The power of faith could only be absorbed by a deity in the process of igniting divinity and becoming a god. This meant…

Sea of Death.

The momentum around Ji Chen gradually subsided, and he slowly opened his blue eyes, exhaling a sigh of relief.

Alice and other heroes approached, their faces full of respect.

They could clearly feel that Lord Ji had become even more powerful, like an unfathomable ocean, impossible to see through.

“Lord, we have already repelled most of the attackers who actively targeted us, but there are still some we did not pursue in order to protect you.”

Ji Chen nodded slightly. “No worries, I will take care of them.”

With that, the miniature shrine reappeared in Ji Chen’s palm once again. This was the appearance of the Ocean God’s Shrine, the central control hub of this special artifact.

With a thought, the entire space suddenly trembled. Those ocean lords still present here immediately felt an irresistible force, pushing them out of this space and sending them outside the bronze gate.

The Ocean God’s Shrine was not a purely offensive weapon like the Demon Slayer, but a special spatial artifact.

(Ocean God’s Shrine

Grade: Divine Artifact (sealed state, unlock all effects and skills when obtaining the position of the Ocean God)

Effects: ©Mystic Realm Evolution (contains a miniature mystic realm inside, capable of accommodating living creatures)

<2) (Sealed, unknown)

Skills: ©Shrine Suppression (drives the shrine with supreme ocean power, forcibly suppressing living beings within a certain range)

© (Sealed, unknown)

Special: This weapon can only be used by the owner of the ocean power.

Potential: The Ocean God’s Shrine can be transformed into a divine country seed, and resources can be spent to evolve it into a divine country.

Crafted by the last generation of the Ocean God using countless ocean treasures and materials, refined over tens of thousands of years, this spatial artifact of the mystic realm type possesses immeasurable evolutionary potential.

At this point, Ji Chen’s power had not yet truly reached the level of a deity, especially since he had not fully collected all the ocean powers, resulting in most of the shrine’s effects and skills being in a sealed state. However, the power he displayed at this moment was still astonishing.

Especially the Mystic Realm Evolution. This could be deduced from the special space they were in. This place was the miniature mystic realm inside the Ocean God’s Shrine, proving its value by its ability to accommodate living creatures.

In simpler terms, this was like an extra-large backpack, capable of holding a large amount of supplies, food, and so on, solving the logistical issues of the entire army in one go.

On a larger scale, if the army was placed here in advance and released at certain moments, such as suddenly releasing them behind enemy lines, it would be a fatal blow!

Even if epic-tier forces were suddenly surrounded by a large number of sixth or even seventh-tier troops, they would feel extremely troubled.

Digging deeper, this meant…

But what surprised Ji Chen even more was the potential line. The fact that the Ocean God’s Shrine could also be used as a divine country seed.

A divine country was the exclusive property of a deity!

Even a deity must expend immeasurable energy and resources to cultivate a divine country seed, and then invest further resources comparable to nurturing the seed in order to build their own divine country.

The Ocean God’s Shrine can serve as a seed, paving a smooth path for him to build his divine country after becoming a deity in the future.

This is not just making a fortune; it’s making so much that one doesn’t even recognize it anymore!

Ji Chen made an effort to restrain his almost cracking smile, waving his hand confidently.

“Let’s go!”

In the basin.

More than forty surviving ocean lords remained here, staring tightly at the bronze gate.

Their faces were filled with various expressions.

Just a moment ago, they were desperately searching for that artifact, only to be abruptly thrown out by an irresistible force.

Amidst the shock, there was also puzzlement.

Could it be that another lord had already obtained the artifact?

Therefore, they did not leave but stayed here, waiting for this lord to come out before launching a collective attack, continuing the struggle.

That was a divine artifact!

No matter what, they had to strive for it. If things didn’t seem right later, they could always flee.

As for the risks involved? These lords, whose eyes were blinded by greed, had long actively pushed them to the back of their minds.

These ocean lords remained outside, eagerly watching the vortex inside the door, ready to attack at any moment.

The vortex flickered slightly.

The next moment, a massive object suddenly appeared outside the portal. They instinctively wanted to command their armies to launch an attack, but when they saw clearly what it was, they all froze in shock.

Fear crept into their eyes.

It’s such a huge turtle head!
