Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

"Take me away?"

Lorelai blinked her Cardiline large eyes, feeling a bit surprised.

What did Xu Ran mean by that?

Did Xu Ran want to take her away, and then...

Lorelai's heart fluttered, her heartbeat suddenly quickened, and many thoughts sprang up in her mind.

But the next second, she felt disappointed.

She realized that she and Xu Ran seemed to be from two different worlds.

Xu Ran came from the land, and even though he was now on Sea God's Island, his character suggested that someone as carefree and unrestrained as he wouldn't be willing to stay on Sea God's Island for a lifetime.

Moreover, Xu Ran was very strong. If he truly wanted to leave Sea God's Island, even the High Priest himself might not be able to keep him.

Xu Ran was alone and could leave freely.

With sufficient strength, no one could control him.

But the Merfolk Clan was near Sea God's Island, so what would happen to her people if she left?

And although she didn't like feeling confined, the Sea God was still the deity she worshiped.

Everyone living in the ocean, without exception, worshiped the Sea God.

The Sea God controlled the ocean's power and was the God of the Sea.

"Are you worried about your people?" Xu Ran saw the concerns that Lorelai had. Now, Lorelai couldn't foresee what would happen in the future.

In the future, some changes would occur to Sea God's Island.

The Sea God would be slain by him, and all the rules binding Sea God's Island would naturally lose their constraint.

Moreover, the Sea God's evil intentions would make all those on Sea God's Island who worshipped the Sea God feel disgusted. Perhaps, due to the difference in strength, they wouldn't dare to say anything, but their worship and respect for the Sea God would vanish.

They might fear a powerful being, but they wouldn't worship a despicable coward.

Furthermore, Poseissi was the High Priest on Sea God's Island, safeguarding it and revered by the island's inhabitants.

Being treated that way, Sea God's Island would also provoke their anger.

"Xu Ran, I'm sorry, I..." Lorelai felt a bit let down. At this moment, she was at a loss. If Xu Ran returned to the land, she might never see Xu Ran again in her life.

"There's no need to apologize to me. Perhaps, in a few days, you'll regret it."

"All these concerns you have now won't exist in the future."

"So sometimes, don't think too much."

Xu Ran said things that Lorelai half-understood.

Her heart raced, and faintly, from Xu Ran's words, she sensed that a huge change would come to Sea God's Island in the future. And that drastic change might be related to Xu Ran.

"Don't worry, I won't harm anyone here by coming."

"If you must know some things, I can tell you some about the Sea God. But you have to promise to keep it a secret for me, and not tell anyone," Xu Ran said.

He decided to first reveal to Lorelai some of the shameful history of the Sea God, so that when Poseissi eventually accepted those things, there would be someone to persuade him.

And he was worried that Poseissi might not believe it, so if there was another person to help fan the flames, Poseissi would lean towards his side quicker. And the best candidate for this person was Lorelai.

What he wanted to obtain wouldn't escape the palm of his hand.

"About the Sea God...?"

Lorelai was startled by Xu Ran's words. She knew that Xu Ran's purpose for coming here wouldn't be simple, but she hadn't expected that Xu Ran's target was indeed the Sea God.

More importantly, given Xu Ran's attitude, coming to Sea God's Island wasn't to become the Sea God.

"See for yourself."

Xu Ran transferred the video previously recorded by the System's Miss into Lorelai's mind.

Lorelai's delicate body trembled, as an image emerged within her mind.

There, a middle-aged man dressed in sea-blue robes was infuriated with embarrassment. From the conversation, she realized that this was the Sea God.

That terrifying aura, uniquely belonging to the Sea God, with the distinct properties of the ocean, confirmed his identity.

What the Sea God said caused a storm of shock and disbelief to surge within her.

She couldn't believe that the Sea God could be such a person.

In the past, the Sea God had always been exalted, the faith of all ocean inhabitants.

But at that moment, her faith collapsed.

She couldn't imagine that the Sea God could be so despicable, to utter such shameful words about giving Poseissi away.

Is this still the Sea God?

And what shocked her even more were the words that followed.

So the Sea God had cultivated Poseissi solely because of her beauty, wishing to take her to the Divine Realm to commit acts worse than those of pigs and dogs? Back then, Poseissi's love at first sight with Tang Chen became her lifeline, making the Sea God abandon that vile plan.

Even though the Sea God hadn't done anything, his sinister intentions were undeniably evil.

"Is all of this true?"

Lorelai looked at Xu Ran, at a loss.

As the Pillar Guardian of Sea God's Island, but knowing all this, how could she still hold any reverence for the Sea God?

For such a person, she only felt nauseated with disgust.

"Of course, it's true," Xu Ran said with a smile.

"Those words, the Sea God said them to you, didn't he?" Lorelai took a deep breath, finally understanding the true extent of Xu Ran's strength. To make the Sea God so frustrated and helpless, even willing to offer up his own High Priest to him without a fight.

To make the Sea God cast aside all pride and dignity, to do such a thing.

Xu Ran's power was probably...

Lorelai's mouth fell open slightly, feeling shaken.

Before her was someone even the Sea God found troublesome.

"The details and reasons are too much for me to explain at the moment, but I came here for Poseissi," Xu Ran said.

"Now that the Sea God is infuriated, he might already be planning to descend to the mortal realm. If he cannot find me, he might do something disgraceful to Poseissi. Once he loses his sanity, he's capable of anything," Xu Ran spoke. He wasn't lying.

Such a person as the Sea God was now enraged.

He had always coveted Poseissi's beauty, but Tang Chen's arrival had thwarted him.

Now, the frustrated and powerless Sea God might take out his anger on Poseissi.

"Is that so?"

Lorelai's eyes sparkled with a different light.

At that moment, knowing the cause and course of events, she finally understood what kind of person Xu Ran was.

Previously, Xu Ran probably didn't even know Poseissi, but he was still able to come to Sea God's Island to protect her.

This made her feel a bit envious; although Poseissi's plight was tragic, she had met someone willing to protect her.

"If I were in such a situation, would you also protect me like that?" Lorelai couldn't help but utter wistfully. After saying it, she felt somewhat shy, lowering her head, not daring to look into Xu Ran's eyes.

"I would," Xu Ran nodded.

Faced with such a situation, whether the girl was someone he wanted to pursue or not, he would lend a hand.
