Chapter 1092 The Souls of the Sea God Temple
"Boy, is it you who awakened this old man?"
The skull head moved and looked around.
"I remember that the Temple of Poseidon has fallen, and I paid the price with my life."
Huo Yuhao stared silently at the skeleton, not saying a word, because the pressure emanating from the skeleton's soul was immense.
On the other hand, he also wanted to see the skeleton's attitude.
If anything seems amiss, he immediately withdraws the necromancy.
The skeleton slowly propped itself up, making a series of cracking sounds. Some of its already broken ribs even fell to the ground with a clatter as it stood up.
"Boy, why don't you answer? Why did you wake me up? What is your purpose?" The skeleton stood up, its empty eye sockets staring at Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and bowed to the skeleton.
"Junior Huo Yuhao greets Senior. I came here for the Nautilus Conch, but unexpectedly learned some things about the Abyss. I humbly request Senior's clarification!"
Huo Yuhao's manners were impeccable; as the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face.
The skeleton was taken aback at first, then he walked up to the statue of the sea god and gazed at it quietly.
Huo Yuhao's heart jumped again. This was a true powerhouse, unlike the previous longsword skeleton. What if this one suddenly attacked and smashed the statue?
Can I stop it myself?
Amid Huo Yuhao's trepidation, the skeleton finally sighed, turned to Huo Yuhao, and asked, "Where did you learn about the Abyss?"
"This junior is skilled in mental power, and my martial soul has some unique features. I have developed an ability targeting the soul, which I learned from the memories of a skeleton senior wielding a longsword during this event," Huo Yuhao said honestly. Strictly speaking, what he said was true.
Martial Souls are of the spiritual attribute, primarily cultivating spiritual power. They also possess techniques that target the soul, such as the longsword skeleton from earlier.
"You're not bad, kid. You've cultivated your mental strength to be so powerful." The skeleton exclaimed in admiration.
"So, kid, what's your purpose in wanting to know about the Abyss? If you have ill intentions, don't blame me for leaving you here."
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying pressure erupted from the skeleton.
It was clearly just a remnant soul, yet it was still incredibly powerful.
Huo Yuhao was shocked. As the Lord of the Dead, he actually felt a strong pressure emanating from this skeleton.
"Senior, I think I need to understand why the Abyss appeared, what those monsters are, what their weaknesses are, and what if these Abyss monsters weren't eliminated but are lurking in the depths of the sea?"
The skeleton chuckled faintly. "Boy, your reasoning is quite good, but high-sounding reasons can't move people. I've died once before, although I've been temporarily resurrected."
"But now, I will ask, and you will answer, understand?"
The pressure emanating from the skeleton intensified once more, causing Huo Yuhao's mental state to become somewhat disordered.
"I understand," Huo Yuhao replied.
He could understand the skeleton's thoughts; after all, back then, it was a gamble with all the believers in the entire sea god temple.
Furthermore, since the skeleton's soul has awakened, it has only asked questions verbally and has not shown any intention to attack.
"What year and month is it now?"
"It's impossible to calculate the exact time, but according to Shrek Academy's records of the Temple of Sea God, the last Temple of Sea God was discovered more than a thousand years ago, and no Temple of Sea God has been found on the continent since then."
"Is this still White Fish Coast?"
"No, this is the far north."
After a few questions and answers, the skeleton fell silent.
Huo Yuhao also roughly learned some information. The Temple of the Sea God was definitely not in the far north before. It is very likely that the whole structure has changed.
The fact that the Sun and Moon Continent could collide with the Douluo Continent shows that the continental plates can move.
Therefore, it is very likely that this sea god temple was formed due to geological changes, sinking into the sea or the land it supported shifting, which is why it appeared deep in the far north.
The skeleton began to move, its empty eye sockets staring at each statue.
Upon seeing the Nautilus floating beside Huo Yuhao, he grunted and asked, "You came here for this Nautilus, right?"
"Yes." Huo Yuhao nodded honestly.
"That's true. After all, no one is really interested in gods. Otherwise, you should be kneeling in front of that broken statue instead of floating on it." The skeleton chuckled twice.
The skeleton showed no respect for the sea god statue in its words, which puzzled Huo Yuhao greatly.
Why do the guards of the Temple of Poseidon show disrespect to the statue of Poseidon?
"Senior, I have a question."
Huo Yuhao asked the question directly.
"You want to ask why I disrespected the statue of the god, right?" The skeleton tilted its head slightly to look at Huo Yuhao, as if it really had eyeballs moving.
"Yes." The honest boy Huo Yuhao nodded.
The skeleton slowly walked up to the statue of the sea god and looked up at it.
However, in Huo Yuhao's eyes, he always felt that this skeleton senior was looking down on the sea god statue.
The next second, the skeleton showed Huo Yuhao through its actions that it was not just seemingly showing contempt for the sea god statue, but was actually showing contempt for it.
In the instant before Huo Yuhao noticed, the skeleton's right fist was covered with a layer of eerie light, and it smashed its fist toward the lower half of the sea god statue.
"etc!"
Huo Yuhao's heart leaped into his throat again, but he could only helplessly reach out and watch it all unfold.
The skull's power acted on the sea god statue, causing cracks to spread all over it before it exploded, turning into a pile of rubble.
Huo Yuhao immediately tried to withdraw his mental energy.
However, the skeleton suddenly shouted, "Wait! Boy! You'd better see if I'll face divine punishment!"
Huo Yuhao froze instantly.
The man and the skeleton stared at each other like that.
Huo Yuhao silently counted to one hundred in his mind.
Nothing happened?
Wasn't the Poseidon statue destroyed?
No response?
The skeleton sneered, "This place was abandoned by the sea god long ago. What difference does it make if his statue is destroyed?"
Huo Yuhao floated quietly, keenly sensing that there was a great story behind it.
However, the skeleton's remnant soul was exceptionally powerful, and he could not access the memory fragments.
I should have learned the teacher's soul-searching magic first.
The latest novel is first published here!
"This place was once a temple to the sea god, a city inhabited by hundreds of thousands of believers! Now, it has become a desolate place on this glacier! A place forsaken by the gods!"
"And I, the Roaring Sea Douluo! A man who dedicated my life to that so-called god! In the end, I've come to this end! Hundreds of thousands of believers, and I, as the High Priest! I couldn't protect them!"
The skeleton roared to the sky, "I am ashamed!"
The skeleton calls himself the Roaring Sea Douluo.
The title itself exudes an air of dominance.
But in the end, his remnant soul was temporarily revived, only to face a time of utter desolation.
"The Roaring Sea Douluo?" Huo Yuhao quickly ran through his mind, but he didn't remember there ever being such a powerful figure on the continent.
It seems that the history of the Poseidon Temple has either been lost or its existence has been erased.
"Boy, I've already told you my name, so who are you?" Xiaohai Douluo asked.
"Junior, Huo Yuhao, from Shrek Academy." Huo Yuhao bowed respectfully.
It's clear that Xiaohai Douluo has a lot of opinions about the Sea God, which is why he doesn't call himself a member of the Tang Sect.
Because the founder of the Tang Sect was the Sea God himself.
"Shrek Academy, huh?" Douluo Xiaohai said calmly.
"Why have you come seeking the Nautilus?"
"Legend has it that the Nautilus can foresee the future." Huo Yuhao didn't hide anything, because the Nautilus had this ability.
Xiaohai Douluo sat down on the ground and waved his hand indifferently, "Then take it. Once you're done, leave quickly. This is not a good place."
"Is it that simple? Aren't you going to ask about its purpose?"
Huo Yuhao originally thought that Xiaohai Douluo would interrogate him.
"Do I really need to scrutinize you from head to toe?" Xiaohai Douluo chuckled lightly.
"Whether you are good or evil is none of my business. I am already a dead man."
Huo Yuhao held the Nautilus Conch in his hands, surprised that it had gone so smoothly. He thought for a moment and asked, "Senior, is there a safe way in here? A layer of ice has frozen the entire temple and five cities."
This could be a self-protection mechanism for the Temple of Poseidon.
"I don't know. I know the mechanisms of the Sea God Temple, but I don't know anything about the layer of ice you mentioned," Xiaohai Douluo replied.
"It's also possible that it's not a mechanism of the Temple of the Sea God, but was sealed by other beings, such as the abyssal creatures you learned about before."
"After all, the sea god turned the entire temple into a seal, blocking the entrance for those monstrous creatures, along with all the believers."
The words, once spoken, resounded loudly in Huo Yuhao's ears.
Has the Temple of Poseidon been sealed away?
At the cost of all believers?
"Senior, what are you saying?" Huo Yuhao didn't doubt his ears, but he wondered if it was really true that these words came from the mouth of a guard of the Sea God Temple.
Xiaohai Douluo chuckled and shook his head. "You don't believe me, do you? When I was still alive, I didn't believe it either, but look at me now, what do I have left?"
"The temples of the sea god are a tool used by the sea god to harvest the power of faith. The divine oracle he sent down was nothing more than telling us to increase the number of believers and the number of temples."
"My child, I was once the most fervent believer in the sea god, ready at any time to give my life for my faith. But my child is not ready yet."
Huo Yuhao suddenly sensed that Xiaohai Douluo had withdrawn his oppressive aura and defenses.
This means that his necromancy will be unimpeded.
"Boy, although I don't know where you come from or whether you're a follower of the sea god, since you're curious about the abyss and its creatures, why don't you use your unique abilities to see for yourself?"
"See for yourself the truth behind the destruction of this sea god temple!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yuhao's consciousness suddenly entered the memory corridor of the revolving lantern.
He met a handsome and extraordinary young man.
That was the young Douluo of the Roaring Sea!
