202: Chapter 202 The Disguise of a Great Being!

Su Lin looked at the chains in the System Space, a flash of satisfaction in his eyes.

As expected, this was an item refined by the Ancestor using a wisp of his own consciousness.

It had to be said, this was truly a grand undertaking, all to anchor the world and guard these underwater ruins.

He did not even hesitate to split his own consciousness to refine an item of this caliber.

But truth be told, this was indeed a good item.

It could anchor the world, inflict mental pollution, and control gravity—all of these abilities were highly practical.

However, the ability to transfer damage came as somewhat of a surprise to him.

It turned out that this wasn't an inherent ability of the chains themselves.

Instead, it was derived by absorbing the resentment and bonds of the Raging Wave Warriors.

Furthermore, this ability actually required the target to willingly bear the damage for it to take effect.

In other words, those Raging Wave Warriors had actually been willing to bear the damage for their leader?

Truth be told, it was indeed a deeply moving bond.

However, this condition was indeed somewhat harsh.

Transferring damage required the target's willingness, but who would take damage for someone else for no reason?

But it didn't matter, as long as the ability existed.

As for whether to use it and how to use it, he would decide based on the situation in the future.

Not to mention, aside from this ability, the other three were also extremely useful.

However, just after Su Lin finished extracting the chains, his vision suddenly shifted.

He saw an extremely pitch-black place.

It was like the bottommost layer of an abyss, without a single shred of light or sound.

Only endless darkness flowed slowly.

And in the deepest depths of that darkness, a terrifying existence wrapped in a massive number of chains quietly floated.

The chains were dense and crisscrossed, completely binding that figure.

Dark red runes flowed across the surface of the chains, emitting a strange and heart-palpitating aura.

At the same time, the figure suddenly raised its head.

A pair of eyes, deep as the abyss, lit up in the darkness and looked toward him, seemingly scrutinizing him.

Su Lin's pupils shrank abruptly.

However, in just an instant, the image rapidly dissipated.

The dark, deep blue of the seabed returned before his eyes, as if everything just now had been nothing but an illusion.

Su Lin stood in place, his brow furrowed deeply.

What was going on?

Why did he suddenly see these images?

These chains were the medium the Ancestor used to anchor the world.

And just after he finished extracting these chains, he saw these images.

Could it be that what he had just seen was his so-called Ancestor?

Had he noticed the situation over here?

After all, he had just directly crushed the Ancestor's consciousness Clone.

Right after that, he had taken away the important medium used to anchor the world.

With such a huge commotion, it was impossible for the Ancestor to be completely unaware.

But by the looks of it, he seemed to be bound by something, trapped.

Could it be that his sudden disappearance for a hundred years, without any word, was because he had been sealed?

Thinking of this, Su Lin felt it was highly likely.

If that were indeed the case, then everything made sense.

Why the Ancestor had clearly ascended to the Immortal Level but suddenly vanished into thin air.

Why he was causing trouble all over Linyuan Village, yet the Ancestor had shown absolutely no reaction.

Why Linyuan Village had been in decline for a hundred years, yet the Ancestor had never once returned.

It turned out he simply couldn't return.

He was trapped, sealed within some unknown dark space.

Those chains wrapped around his body, binding him tightly in the depths of the darkness, completely unable to escape.

Thinking of this, Su Lin actually breathed a sigh of relief.

In that case, what did he have to fear?

Whether you are of the Immortal Level or the Forbidden Rank, once you are sealed, you can only stay obediently inside the Seal.

Even if you can perceive the situation in the outside world through some connection, you ultimately cannot act in person.

Now, even the item used to anchor the world had been extracted by him.

Even if the Ancestor wanted to come out, it would certainly be even more difficult.

Although he was very likely targeted, knowing the Ancestor's current state actually made him feel much lighter.

Before, he had been constantly on edge, not knowing when this Immortal Level guy would charge back.

Now, he felt reassured instead.

Rather than worrying about a sealed prisoner, it was better to seize the time to become stronger.

By then, even if the Ancestor really broke free, he would have enough strength to deal with him.

Perhaps by then, it wouldn't even be certain who would fear whom.

Su Lin withdrew his thoughts.

Instead of dwelling on the Ancestor's matter, he began to Extract the remains of the Raging Wave Warriors.

[Extracting...]

[Extraction successful!]

[Obtained Material: Raging Wave Guard Leader's Core (4-Star) × 1 — Originally a human treasure hunter, who, due to performing the sacrificial ritual of the Raging Wave Overlord, was eroded by the Raging Wave Overlord's power and thus transformed into a retainer of the Raging Wave Overlord, obtaining a portion of the raging wave power. However, the Raging Wave Overlord's power is mixed and weak, being merely an Incarnation of a certain Great Existence.]

[Obtained Material: Raging Wave Guard Remains (3-Star) × 27]

[Obtained Material: Raging Wave Guard Remains (2-Star) × 63]

Seeing the 4-star and 3-star Materials, Su Lin was initially very satisfied.

These Raging Wave Warriors indeed had a deep foundation.

Even a hundred years after their death, their remains still contained a considerable amount of power.

But when he saw the System's description, he was completely stunned.

The Raging Wave Overlord was an Incarnation of a certain Great Existence?

What was going on?

In other words, the Raging Wave Overlord was just an alias?

But whose alias was this? Was it the Lord of the Deep Sea's, or some other existence's?

He originally thought that the Raging Wave Overlord might just be some minor deity of the sea.

Relying on absorbing the power of believers to barely maintain its divine status.

He didn't expect it to actually be an alias of a certain Great Existence.

To think that a dignified Great Existence would actually change aliases to cause trouble, just like him?

Talk about seeing everything if you live long enough...

As for these Raging Wave Warriors, they had believed they were the chosen ones favored by God, thinking they had obtained the true power of the Sea God.

But in the end, they were merely eroded by the power, turning into mindless retainers.

In the end, they were just a bunch of exploited, pathetic wretches, and even the deity they worshiped was fake.

No wonder they died such a miserable death.

However, he didn't care too much.

After all, these things had happened at least several hundred years ago.

Rather than dwelling on those ethereal past events, it was more practical to Extract Materials and continue to grow stronger.

Thinking of this, he also extracted the giant sea beast.

This fellow had previously fought the guards and the chains, only to be directly crushed by gravity and pressed to death on the seabed.

For such a massive creature, he had thought it would be quite powerful, but he didn't expect it to be so fragile. It was truly embarrassing.

However, no matter how embarrassing, it was still a Catastrophe Level sea beast; it still had to be extracted.

[Extracting...]

[Extraction successful!]

[Obtained Material: Deep Sea Dragon Whale Core (3-Star) × 1 — Originally an ordinary dragon whale, but due to long-term exposure to the dissipating power of sacrifices and swallowing a large number of mutated creatures, it underwent irreversible aberration, gaining the ability to grow stronger by devouring flesh and blood.]

Looking at the description, Su Lin didn't feel much of a wave of emotion.

It was actually only a 3-star material?

Well, it wasn't bad; it would be a waste not to take it.

Su Lin put away all the Materials and looked around.

The seabed was in a complete mess, but there was no longer anything worthy of attention.

Thus, he did not linger any longer.

After recalling the Bone King into the System Space, he turned and approached the direction of the underwater building.

Although the battle just now had been extremely fierce, the building itself had a protective magic circle left behind by the Ancestor, so it didn't suffer much impact.

Even the transparent glass walls were still intact.

Shen Qingci and Lin Weixia were both waiting inside.

Seeing Su Lin return, the two of them came forward to meet him at the same time.

Shen Qingci asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Lin Weixia was also full of worry: "Boss, are you injured?"

Su Lin simply waved his hand. "I'm fine, it has been successfully dealt with."

Just as he finished speaking, his gaze was drawn to something else.

He paused in his tracks, his brow slightly furrowed, and asked, "What is this thing?"

Hearing this, Shen Qingci and Lin Weixia turned around at the same time.

Then, the two of them were also stunned.

Behind them, without them knowing when, a statue had appeared.

It was a strange, broken, half-human, half-fish statue.
