NOVEL NEXT Chapter 235: Witch's Coffin_2
Searching for relics... Chen Qi wore a solemn expression, adopting a posture of intense listening.
As expected, the Flower Witch was recounting matters that were the main clues of the Witch Sea.
Within this main thread, it involved the world-ending crisis of the Witch Sea as well as the path to sainthood.
"The Ice Witch is the deity of the thirteen ice aspects, the chosen saint of the Thorny Goddess, the savior of the Witch Sea..."
Jin Li murmured to herself quietly.
She knew of my teacher's prophecy... Fen continued:
"My teacher foretold that after the war begins, the Smiling Moon shall reign over the night, the four great pirates shall disappear into the vortex, the Steam Hand will fall in the north of the ocean, and to the siren's calls, the city atop the Moonstone shall become a pirate's paradise, and with the birth of a demigod who belongs to no kingdom, no ancient Transcendent organization, the great Whales shall cross the borders, sucking everything in the world into its belly..."
"Their power surpasses the limits of legend, surpasses the limits of our powers, there's nothing we can do..."
Fen glanced at Chen Qi with an apologetic tone:
"With our strength, there's truly nothing we can accomplish."
Nothing we can do... Chen Qi tried to recall as many key events from the Witch Sea as possible.
The prophecy spoken by Fen was likely to be a significant event in the Witch Sea, the Steam Hand's defeat, the siege by the Black Whale Group, and the disintegration of the Blood Blade Pirate Group...
The Flower Witch was not wrong; with the strength of one Flower Witch alone, it was nearly impossible to do anything, to stop anything.
It's like an ant trying to move a mountain, not a task one person can complete.
Fen clasped her hands together, with a hint of prayer in her tone:
"And my teacher told me, I must collect at least five Witch Relics before the cry of the great Whale descends."
"Then, at the Witch's Coffin at the bottom of the Deep Sea, open the sacred path to becoming a Saint..."
At this point, Fen paused:
"And then resurrect her, resurrect my teacher..."
"Only by that, can we have a glimmer of hope in opposing the Deep Sea Ancient God mentioned in that prophecy, as well as the great Whale."
Resurrect her? Resurrect that old hag who delighted in obliterating humanoid monsters, conservatively over five hundred years old? Chen Qi couldn't help but snark inwardly.
Although Chen Qi maintained his composure, at this moment, Jin Li beside him could no longer contain her excitement.
To resurrect the Ice Witch! This was unprecedented news! A huge event!
A historic figure who was well-known could actually have hope of resurrection!
Yet, out of politeness, Jin Li quickly suppressed the words in her heart and listened attentively.
The Flower Witch bowed her head, her gaze involuntarily settling on the wounds on her arm:
"The Witch Sea is doomed to perish, although it's a prophecy, it's also an undeniable fact...
To resurrect my teacher, one must gather the Witch Relics, an utterly impossible task, for as early as twenty years ago, the father of the Black Whale Group had already stolen the relics from my teacher's hands...
Not to mention, I'm just a sick patient."
Fen said through clenched teeth, with a slight degree of bitterness:
"The two of you, if you don't wish to die in this ocean, stay as far away as possible from this area..."
"Fen!"
Fen was speaking disheartening words again... Chen Qi interrupted her:
"Don't worry, I'll accompany you, and besides, if there's a path to becoming a Saint, I wouldn't give up on that hope."
Compared to the other sections' main quests, the Witch Sea's main quest, to simply resurrect the Ice Witch, was relatively simpler.
Moreover, in all the main quests, there's a path leading to becoming a Saint, even to deity!!
Chen Qi touched his forehead.
This path was also one of his ultimate goals.
He had now embarked on the Witch Sea's main quest.
If he couldn't become a Legend, couldn't become a Saint, his end would inevitably be as a wraith of the sea.
Not to mention that in Chen Qi's mind, he now found it impossible to abandon the Flower Witch and go to the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom to become a Beast Tamer.
On this ocean, the two lonely souls had already formed a bond.
Qi... Fen blinked, her gaze blankly fixating on Chen Qi, a small blush-colored flower blooming above her head unbidden:
"Hmm."
Chen Qi asked calmly:
"In short, Fen, you need to resurrect the Ice Witch? If possible, I think you could ask the Ice Pirate Group for help."
The goal of the Ice Pirate Group strongly aligned with Fen's.
"Really?" Fen perked up, her fresh green eyes calmly looking at Jin Li:
"My teacher is the legendary Ice Witch, and if you could provide assistance, I believe, my teacher would not mind offering you a path to ascend beyond human limits and become a Saint..."
"A path to sainthood?"
"Yes, the Witch's Coffin is a relic created by the Thorny Goddess! Within it, lies the means and power sufficient for one to ascend to sainthood.
That is precisely why the Black Whale Group seeks to kill me..."
Jin Li couldn't help but clench her fists in excitement, hardly believing her ears.
The Flower Witch had actually told her so much in one go!
And the path to sainthood was a significant piece of information.
For a Legend, a path to becoming a Saint is enough to drive them into utter madness.
Even Jin Li was no exception! Find your next adventure on empire
Jin Li placed her hands on her thighs, speaking earnestly:
"Witch Miss! The Ice Pirate Group is willing to offer you any help you need! Anything!"
An excellent ally... Chen Qi leaned back slightly:
