Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!

The Dream Beast accepted his offering, which meant success!

The white cloak steadied his breathing, waiting for the Dream Beast to swallow Chen Qi and the little raven.

However, he suddenly noticed something seemed a bit off.

The Dream Beast lowered its head and let out a sound like a cat's purr.

Singing? What does that mean? Chen Qi steadied his breathing.

Creatures naturally feared enormously large monsters. If it had been his first time at sea, he would have run away at the sight of it.

But now, Chen Qi just wanted to understand what it meant.

Rubbing against me, a sign of friendliness...

And a hint of wanting to merge with me?

Integration with an ancient deep-sea species, this should not be just a simple merging but a fusion of flesh and blood.

At the same time, it carried a hint of aggression!

This aggression wasn't toward me, but toward the world!

So, are you inviting me to destroy this world with you? To color the world with the depths of the sea!

"..."

"..."

You have quite the ambition. Chen Qi frowned, wordlessly patting the Dream Beast's head.

On the head of the Dream Beast, there was a trace of special Spiritual Power, that of the Ice Witch's.

Destroy the world? The two of them?

Although to the white cloak, the Dream Beast was an inviolable deity, to Chen Qi, it was just a slightly larger perverted snake.

With their combined strength, they might have a chance to take down a Fourth Rank Legend! Maybe even sink a navy battleship!

But destroying the world was sheer nonsense.

Chen Qi organized his thoughts and said considerately:

"Little guy, don't mess around."

He didn't know if this Dream Beast could understand him.

"Little guy, don't mess around, little guy, don't mess around..."

At that moment, the white cloak beside them opened his mouth wide, and Chen Qi's words echoed in his mind like a valley's resonance.

This little captain, what was he doing with the God of Illusion Dreams?

He was treating the great Dream Beast like a little pet.

The Dream Beast rubbed against the ground; it didn't understand Chen Qi's meaning.

As expected, this human could not grasp the language of the deep sea... Read new chapters at empire

Then, the next moment, the white cloak saw Chen Qi stretch out his hand and skillfully stroke the head of the deep-sea monster.

Just like petting a cat...

How dare you touch! You cannot desecrate my summoned god!

If the Dream Beast wasn't right beside Chen Qi, the white cloak would have rushed up and hacked him into pieces!

"?"

The little raven opened her eyes and bravely looked at the scene, instinctively grabbing Chen Qi's hand.

Unlike the white cloak, she completely did not understand the language of the deep-sea creatures, especially these titans.

However, she could clearly sense it.

This violent giant beast was conveying some sort of peaceful emotion to Chen Qi.

An order? Or did it want to take Chen Qi as its kin?

But it was certain, this giant beast had no intention of attacking him!

Why?

Could it be that the items Chen Qi obtained in the Deep Sea Hunter's Cave made deep-sea creatures not view him as an attack target?

Or did he possess some kind of tool that could suppress deep-sea beasts?

Or was it the parasitic sea beast inside him? Could it be that an ancient deep-sea species was parasitic inside him!

When danger arrived, this ancient species would appear to protect Chen Qi's safety.

The little raven had read in tabloids that many noble Transcendents had the power of giant beasts sealed inside them from birth.

What exactly did Chen Qi obtain in that sea beast cave?

The little raven's mind was filled with complicated thoughts, many questions were answered but more arose.

She was becoming increasingly interested in the young man before her.

If she were younger, she would have wanted to tie Chen Qi to a bed and research and question him thoroughly.

But given the current situation, the little raven could only tremble and say:

"Qi..."

Chen Qi stretched out his hand and patted the Dream Beast's head again:

"Good, good..."

Roar!

The Dream Beast abruptly lifted its head and opened its blood-fanged maw.

It felt that Chen Qi had rejected its goodwill! Also, its temptation!

Little captain, do you know the price of desecrating an ancient being? The white cloak felt relieved.

That's right!

Come now, show these mortals your divine power, Dream Beast!

Then, in the next moment, he saw a deep blue glow emerging from the Dream Beast's head, its wings fluttering in the sea breeze.

"This is..."

The white cloak's eyes widened.

This is the Dream Beast's blessing ceremony! Only those recognized by the Dream Beast are qualified for this ritual!

"Wait!"

The white cloak was shocked. He wasn't ready yet.

The Dream Beast hadn't even partaken in its offering yet, how could it be starting the blessing!

As he stood up, he stared blankly into the distance.

The Dream Beast was giving the blessing to the little captain!

Chen Qi stretched out his hand, and the next moment he felt some memories entering his mind, along with a faint power flowing inside him.

[You have received the Sea Blessing of the Catastrophe Dream Beast.]

[You received the blessing of the Dream Beast, you acquired Sea Walking, you gained Illusion Resistance.]

[You obtained Illusion Butterfly——]

Just like skill cards, a form of transcendent knowledge...

Chen Qi was slightly surprised; he seldom received such blessings.

Sea Walking, though the name was ordinary, was the advanced form of Water Walking!

Water Walking involved using Spiritual Power to turn the water beneath the feet into a solid, icy substance.

But Sea Walking consumed less Spiritual Power, was faster, and could also protect oneself with Spiritual Power, making one more agile underwater.

He no longer needed to step on water elves every day.

And Illusion Resistance was also a rather high-order passive ability; mastering this skill meant he had the qualifications to become an Illusion Master.

If he were a Floral Appearance Transcendent, he might have received even more blessings.

Just like skill cards, it needed to be absorbed to be mastered... Chen Qi accepted this knowledge.

At the same time, a blue butterfly with ribbon-like wings gently landed on his fingertip.

Transcendent material... Chen Qi extended his index finger, closely observing, and within it, he saw countless beautiful dreams of people.

[Illusion Butterfly:

Nature Form: Floral

Description: The Illusion Dream Butterfly, it is said that when the Dream Beast absorbs the beautiful dreams of a thousand people, it will condense into an Illusion Dream Butterfly.

Function: Direct use can make surrounding creatures fall into an endless dream of delight! It can also serve as the core main material for making forbidden Floral Transcendent creations.]

Third Rank and above occupation cards were often incomplete, and the promotion methods were more complex too.

This material could probably create a Fourth Rank Legend occupation card or even a forbidden Transcendent creation... Chen Qi thought to himself and put the item away.

At this moment, the Dream Beast lowered its head again, making a purring sound.

As if it was saying, "You've accepted my gift! Now, come and destroy this world with me!"

"Purr, purr..."

The Dream Beast opened its large, bloody mouth and extended its tongue, wanting to merge with Chen Qi and become a new entity!

"..."

Damn... For a moment, Chen Qi didn't know what to say.

Accepting the gift didn't mean agreeing to the Dream Beast's conditions.

Moreover... Chen Qi looked at the Dream Beast, its massive body was continuously freezing over.

Merging with the Dream Beast would mean death.

Chen Qi organized his words and refused:

"Dream Beast, I'll accept your gift, but you can take back your intentions."

The Dream Beast raised its head.

At this time, Chen Qi noticed all eyes were on him.

The injured little raven hid behind him.

The white cloak's face contorted, his eyes filled with shock, anger, and sorrow, a mix of complicated emotions.

His god had blessed the offering right in front of him!

Is this appropriate? He was the one leading the ritual!

The white cloak stepped forward and said angrily:

"Angel of the Deep Sea, I prepared the black whale's blood, I unlocked the Ice Witch's seal, I showed you respect, I dedicated my life to you!"

The Dream Beast's descent was all because of his efforts! Because of the Sea God Pirate Group!

Would the Dream Beast give its blessing to a little captain who insulted it? Why?

The Dream Beast must be getting senile! Mistaking the wrong believer!

It must be... The white cloak comforted himself.

Just offering the crucial black whale blood should make the Dream Beast understand everything!

He took out the black whale's blood:

"God of Illusion Dreams, I offer you the black whale's blood! May you accept my gift!"

Then, the white cloak quickly stepped forward, trying to snatch the Illusion Butterfly from Chen Qi's hand, reclaiming what rightfully belonged to him!

That butterfly was a legendary material, essential for his path to reaching the Fourth Rank!

However, in the next instant!

A violent wind swept across Sea Lamp Island!

Accompanied by a mournful song of pain, the Dream Beast opened its giant maw, its ribbon-like wings dancing like waves, and charged at the white cloak.

"?????"

The white cloak's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
