Chapter 8 Changes in the Seven Seas
Currently, the Seven Seas’ Sea Region was occupied by seven royal clans of the Sea Clan.
The Demon Clan of the Southern Wilderness had to get the approval of the Sea Clan of the Seven Seas before dealing with any kind of affairs, directly or indirectly. Otherwise, they had no way to carry out their measures.
There was no doubt that the Sea Clan of the Seven Seas was an absolute force among the demons of the Southern Wilderness.
However, in the peaceful era of the Southern Wilderness, although the territory and strength of the Sea Clan of the Seven Seas had been greatly improved, they could not really do whatever they wanted on this sea.
This was because the Sea God was the true ruler of this region.
In the middle of the Seven Seas was the Sea God Palace, which was the Southern Wilderness Sea Clan’s political center, where the Sea God was in command.
The Sea God was, of course, the dolphin Adorable.
The dolphin, Adorable, was indeed the descendant of the former Sea God. When it returned to the Sea God Palace, it was respected as the new Sea God. Up to now, it had always been the Sea God of the Southern Wilderness. Once Adorable grew up, it would become the supreme ruler of this place.
However, the little dolphin was still a little dolphin. It had not grown much and looked the same compared to a hundred years ago.
Tens of thousands of priestesses that came from the various royal families and branches of the Sea Clan served the Sea God in this place. These priestesses were all pure and holy beauties that had been carefully selected by the royal families of the Sea Clan.
Everyone knew the significance of the Sea God to this sea region and the influence it had on those royal families. The priestesses they sent out were one in a million, and any one of them could be said to be devastatingly beautiful. Not only were they beautiful, but they also had superpowers.
They did all of this merely for the sake of being able to gain a foothold in the Sea God Palace.
The former Mermaid Princess of the Sea Clan was one of those beautiful priestesses. Moreover, she had now become the chief priestess of the Sea God Palace, the Holy War Priestess. She had a high position and great power, and her status was second only to that of the Sea God, Adorable.
The Holy War Priestess held the highest authority amongst the priests. She could be said to have the power to wield total command in the Southern Wilderness. Any sea race or royal family had to show her some respect.
In addition to the Holy War Priestess, there was also the Heaven-gazing Priestess who was in charge of observing astronomical phenomena and forecasting dangers on the sea and the fate of the Sea Clan, as well as other affairs. The duty of the Liaison Priestess was to contact various royal families, the sea races, the Human Clan in the Southern Wilderness, and even other continents including the Central Continent and the Eastern Frontier.
These priestesses were the Sea God Palace’s main forces.
All the members of the Sea Clan of the Seven Seas worshipped the Sea God. They had established the Sea God’s Council. Each of the Seven Great Royal Families of the Sea Clan had one seat. The other sea tribes had three seats. They jointly decided the major affairs of the Sea Clan, but the Sea God, Adorable, had the final say.
This was a temporary arrangement made before Sea God Adorable grew up. Once Adorable grew up, it would definitely regain its absolute dominance over the Sea Clan.
The people of the Sea Clan all knew how amazing the strength of the Sea God was. They respected this strength and eagerly hoped that Adorable could grow up quickly and replace the former Sea God, who stood proudly above the sea.
…
Ding Hao’s arrival attracted the great attention of the Sea Clan. The heads of the royal families and other sea tribes of the Sea Clan all showed up in the Sea God Palace to welcome Ding Hao, the imperator of the continent.
To the Sea Clan, Ding Hao’s arrival was more important than anything else.
Today, it would be an honor for all the clans in this world to have Ding Hao visit them.
“Imperator Ding, it’s a great honor for the entire Sea Clan in the Southern Wilderness to have you come to the Sea God Palace!”
In the Sea God Palace, a beautiful woman in a long white dress with fair skin and a luxurious face said those words to Ding Hao. She was the Holy War Priestess of the Sea God Palace, the former Mermaid Princess.
“You’re too kind, High Priestess. I’ve been living in the Northern Region for a long time, so I’m here to visit an old friend from the Southern Wilderness. And also I’d like to see how the Southern Wilderness is doing,” Ding Hao said slowly. Although his words were modest, they contained invisible majesty.
All the elders of the various tribes present were sweating. They were afraid that Ding Hao would mention the Ceroman Clan. They knew very well that they were more or less related to the Ceroman Clan’s affairs. It was their fault that the Sea Clan had not stopped the Ceromen. If Ding Hao blamed them, they could not afford to bear the consequences.
After saying those words, Ding Hao withdrew his eyes from the Mermaid Princess and turned to look at Adorable beside him.
Ding Hao could see that his old friend, the former Mermaid Princess, had now become a master who could control a sea region. Whether in terms of the martial arts realm or leadership, her strength had been greatly improved.
On the contrary, Adorable, the current Sea God, was still a golden dolphin, which was very inconsistent with the image of the former Sea God. It was still very attached to Ding Hao. As soon as Ding Hao arrived, it stuck to Ding Hao like a child.
Adorable had always been like a child. In fact, the major events of the Sea Clan were all in charge by the Council. The Mermaid Princess might be able to give Adorable some advice. Only Yiruo could really affect Adorable’s attitude.
“In that case, I have to take you on a tour of the Seven Seas,” the Mermaid Princess continued.
In most cases, the Holy War Priestess was the spokesperson for the Sea God, Adorable.
“Okay.” Ding Hao nodded slightly, and his eyes did not leave Adorable. Adorable still clung to him tightly, looking extremely attached to him.
The tribe leaders looked at each other. One of the elders understood and plucked up his courage. He looked as if he had made a major decision. He took a small step forward and was about to say something.
However, Ding Hao waved his hand slightly and said, “What the Ceroman Clan has done is not to be repeated.”
“He, he just forgives us!”
Hearing this, everyone took a deep breath as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders. Some even had snot and tears flowing down their faces.
After being on tenterhooks for so long, they were finally forgiven.
Ding Hao’s action was not only a mercy for the Ceroman Clan but also for them. They were very grateful.
From beginning to end, Ding Hao did not look at them. He just played with the little dolphin, Adorable, like a loving father playing with his child.
Ding Hao was not just reminiscing with Adorable.
One of his reasons for coming to the Southern Wilderness was Adorable. Right then, Ding Hao was carefully observing it.
Because the descendant of the Sea God had once been planted with the dark seed by Hades True Immortal, it had lost its memories of the past.
Ding Hao vaguely guessed that Adorable’s real identity was very likely not the descendant of the Sea God, but in fact, it was the reincarnation of the Sea God himself. However, at that time, reincarnation had not yet begun. In addition, the dark seed had been planted in the Sea God’s body and had devoured a lot of the power of the past, so he had forgotten his former identity and could no longer be the Sea God.
At this time, another idea flashed through Ding Hao’s mind.
“Since there was the Sea God, could there be other gods? Where did they go?”
Ding Hao was puzzled for a while. Although this matter was strange, it was not urgent. In fact, there was nothing that could be urgent for Ding Hao at the moment.
Ding Hao put this matter aside for the time being.
After making sure that Adorable was safe, Ding Hao, led by the Mermaid Princess and the patriarchs, took a tour of the major sea areas.
Ding Hao and his team first came to the sea area of the Mermaid Clan. This was the place where the Mermaid Princess, the current Holy War Priestess, used to live.
Because of the Holy War Priestess, the Mermaid Clan’s prestige soared, and it became the well-deserved No. 1 Tribe of the Seven Seas’ Sea Clan. Moreover, because of the friendship between the former Mermaid Princess and Ding Hao, the Mermaid Clan felt very honored.
Before the group entered the Mermaid Clan’s sea area, the periphery was already filled with the mermaid army.
Most of the mermaids had fishtails with human-shaped upper bodies. Both their hair and facial features were the same as those of a human being. Moreover, they were very beautiful. They had delicate facial features, fair skin, plump breasts, and two slender hands. They could be regarded as the best of the best. Below their bellies, there was a streamlined fishtail part, which was made up of various scales. It looked like a fishtail wrapped around their legs, which made their figures more moving.
It was like a mythological world.
So many beauties had suddenly gathered in the same sea region. That made people feel like they wouldn’t get tired of looking at those mermaids even if they looked at them for years.
The Mermaid Princess was the most popular master of the Mermaid Clan, but Ding Hao’s arrival completely attracted the attention of the Mermaid Clan.
They originally thought that the imperator would be high, mighty, and inviolable. But looking at him from afar, they discovered that the legendary omnipotent being actually had such a handsome appearance. Moreover, there was not the slightest bit of arrogance in his expression.
The whole sea region went crazy about Ding Hao’s arrival.
Ding Hao visited this sea area generally, learned a little about the sea, and then left.
He was basically used to the love of women, but he could not stand so much love that surged like a tide.
The group came to the sea area where the Blood Shark Clan lived. This place was originally full of killing. The Blood Shark Clan used to enjoy slaughtering. With the restriction of the No-war Alliance Treaty and the reorganization of the Sea God Palace, the Blood Shark Clan had changed a lot.
Ding Hao glanced at the place with his Divine Senses. He could basically confirm that although these bloodthirsty sharks were as fierce as ever, they did not dare to act recklessly.
However, unlike the majority of the other regions, the Blood Shark Clan, as one of the tribes in the Seven Seas, had a pivotal position in the Southern Wilderness. They should have opened up more routes, but there were almost no routes here. Instead, the place was filled with sharks with their mouths wide open.
Ding Hao found that not only the Blood Shark Clan but also the Giant Whale Clan, the Sea Dragon Clan, and the other sea tribes in the Seven Seas were in the same situation. There were not many routes in the vast sea, but there were sea beasts of the same clan coming and going.
Ding Hao noticed that the reproduction speed of the Sea Clan was so fast that it was almost as fast as that of the Ceroman Clan which had produced a large number of Ceroman Clan members. The excessive growth of the population made the resources in this world become tight again.
Originally, after the reincarnation was opened, the creatures could reincarnate in the reincarnation so that the number of creatures in this world could be balanced. However, because of cultivation, the lifespan of countless creatures became longer and longer. Although reincarnation was still there, many creatures who cultivated could not enter reincarnation normally, causing the world to become more and more crowded.
