Space-Time Epoch, the Fourth Layer, an endless ocean, Chen Tian stood there, looking left and right. What was going on? Why was he here, shouldn't he be with the Sea God?
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the Sea God trial and obtaining the Sea God inheritance."
"Ding, due to different worlds, the host's Sea God inheritance can only be partially used. Other parts will be sealed. The world rules are different and cannot be used."
"Ding, the host has gained absolute immunity to water elements, resurrection, control, and other abilities."
Chen Tian was full of questions. What was happening? He had completed the Sea God trial the moment he left the trial space. He couldn't understand it.
"System, what's going on?"
"Replying to the host, at the moment the host chose to escape, the Sea God recognized you. After all, you chose the nation over inheritance and the nation. Such righteousness made the Sea God directly acknowledge you, and thus sent the inheritance."
The system's reply was concise. Chen Tian understood. He was delighted and felt the power within him. It seemed a new power had appeared, different from the power of chaos. This power had not been absorbed by chaos. This power was the inheritance power of the Sea God. Because it was sealed by the system, it hadn't been integrated.
However, Chen Tian could use some inherited abilities. For example, with water element resurrection, as long as there was water, Chen Tian would be immortal. The water element would help him recover from injuries and reconstruct his flesh and blood. Resurrection was instantaneous, and he was even more powerful than before.
After Chen Tian familiarized himself with his power, he became invigorated. With the Sea God's inheritance in hand, Chen Tian could move freely within the ocean. Without the help of Ocean Tear Crystals, it was no different from being on land.
Chen Tian opened the map to take a look. The Fourth Layer was even larger than the Third Layer. Chen Tian glanced at the nearest city, called Sea Annihilation City. Chen Tian wanted to go there to see if there was any information about the fragments.
Chen Tian took out the map. The entire map was blank, with only two fragments scattered in different corners. Only by collecting all the fragments would the breakthrough mission be completed. Then his fusion progress would accelerate. Five days in the game translated to several months, enough for Chen Tian to complete any breakthrough.
The breakthrough mission had a time limit. After all, in five days, the fate of the world would be in Chen Tian's hands. Chen Tian headed towards Sea Annihilation City.
Sea Annihilation City, a city living in the sea. Compared to other underwater cities, this city had a faint scent of decay. The architectural style of the entire city felt ancient and weathered, as if it had existed for a very long time.
Other cities felt very new, as the Fourth Layer had only been designed a few years ago. Space-Time Epoch had only just celebrated its third anniversary. Chen Tian arrived at Sea Annihilation City, his steps passing through the barrier and entering the city.
In the city, everything was quiet. Players came and went, and some even set up stalls to sell items. Chen Tian was not interested in these and headed directly to the hotel.
He might be able to gather the information he wanted there.
Black Rose Hotel, this was the largest hotel in Sea Annihilation City. Chen Tian entered, and a modern style greeted his eyes. It only took Chen Tian a few seconds to adapt, as he was already accustomed to living in the real world.
"Right, I should have sister buy me a house."
Chen Tian just remembered that when he woke up earlier, he couldn't control his power and instantly turned his house into dust. He needed to buy a new house.
Chen Tian believed that Qing Ling and the others would handle this matter and stopped thinking about it.
Chen Tian listened with all his might, and information entered his ears. Soon, Chen Tian's eyes shone with light.
"Yun Shui Guild, Crimson Dragon Guild. These two guilds have fragments. It seems we are truly fated."
"So be it, so be it. I said I would destroy the Yun Shui Guild before, and I will keep my word."
Chen Tian went to a table and quickly obtained the information.
The locations of the Yun Shui Guild and the Crimson Dragon Guild were not displayed on the map. Chen Tian could only ask others to find their locations. Fortunately, these two guilds were well-known, and Chen Tian's inquiries were met with no obstacles.
Chen Tian left the hotel. The Yun Shui Guild's headquarters were in Sea Sky City, north of Sea Annihilation City. They had branches in other regions. A guild couldn't just have a headquarters; in this vast world, branches were necessary to earn profits.
There was a branch of the Yun Shui Guild in Sea Annihilation City. Chen Tian's target was there. Chen Tian did not attack directly. He went to the front of the Yun Shui Guild, concealed his presence and aura. Chen Tian wanted to observe, as he wanted to confirm one thing: whether the Yun Shui Guild had traded with the Evil Spirit Race, or if there was anyone who had not been bewitched by the Evil Spirit Race.
Chen Tian entered the Yun Shui Guild. With the ability to "Cross the Sea Under Camouflage," Chen Tian's movements were undetectable by any player. He boldly walked into the guild and activated his senses, spreading them throughout the entire guild. He sensed the location and aura of all the players, and Chen Tian's expression instantly turned grim.
In Chen Tian's perception, not a single player's aura was pure. They all carried the aura of evil spirits. The entire guild branch was filled with people from the Evil Spirit Race. Chen Tian sighed with regret.
It seemed he had to unleash his killing spree today. He charged into the guild's interior, and with a loud bang, explosions reverberated throughout the Yun Shui Guild. The players of the Yun Shui Guild appeared one after another. Chen Tian stood on the ground, with over a hundred players surrounding him.
"Who are you, boy? How dare you barge into the Yun Shui Guild, you're courting death."
"Kid, surrender immediately and hand over everything you have, and we'll spare your life. You don't want to lose a level, do you!"
"Damn it, what were the guards doing? How did this guy get in?"
...
"My name is Chen Tian, and I am here to send you all to your demise today."
Chen Tian said politely. He waved his arm, and a barrier enveloped the entire Yun Shui Guild. No sound or situation within the barrier could escape. Chen Tian also used his special privileges to affect the system panels of these players.
The slaughter began. Within the Yun Shui Guild branch, screams, wails, and cries of agony echoed continuously. In just over ten minutes, the sounds did not stop. As the barrier dissipated, Chen Tian walked out of the Yun Shui Guild, looking calmly behind him. With a wave of his arm, the entire Yun Shui Guild turned to dust and vanished.
As for those players, Chen Tian had already killed them, even removing their very existence. Chen Tian became melancholic, "Hundreds of people are gone all at once. I wonder how they will explain this upstairs."
The existence of these players was removed, and in the real world, they would disappear as well. Hundreds of people vanished. Chen Tian could already imagine the shock in China's news. However, this had nothing to do with Chen Tian. These people deserved to die. Trading with the Evil Spirit Race made them traitors to humanity, and traitors only deserved brutal slaughter.
