Chapter 1053 - 226: Fishing

The Mistwalker envoy climbed up from the seabed once more, raising huge waves. Seeing this, Su Changxing swung his blade again, cleaving its body in half.

Then, during the interval when the Mistwalker envoy sank into the sea, he cut up the Divine Spirit’s body and sold it to the discount store.

Countless forbidden beings emerged from who knows where, biting off pieces of the Divine Spirit’s flesh and disappearing.

Su Changxing didn’t immediately redeem Hua san, estimating that she now carried too much of Chaos’s aura, likely causing her to be rejected by this world, thus triggering the erasure of rules. It would be quite unfavorable if she were redeemed only to be taken back again.

As the Divine Spirit’s body was sold off bit by bit, the bloody meat island on the sea gradually disappeared. The speed wasn’t fast, but not slow either. By the end, the discount store collected faster, able to accept larger pieces of the Divine Spirit’s body.

His entire body was stained dark red by the Divine Spirit’s blood, emitting a fishy stench.

He could feel the impurity and madness within it, even suspecting this Divine Spirit was not far from death, looking like a sun about to set.

It was as if a black hole lingered in his memory, and it was only now that Su Changxing recalled seeing the owner of these bodies in the Ninth Dimension.

Most memories of the Ninth Dimension were sealed away for some reason, becoming unclear. He subconsciously avoided the issue until now.

"I seem to have died once already..."

"No, it’s been many times."

He understood why those at Tier Five would awaken the ability of immortality, for he had crossed life and death, and the soul retained some memories.

Such memories could be hidden but not erased.

If this Divine Spirit was about to fall, it was by his own hands, utilizing the power of the Titan Shadow to perform a causality-transcending execution.

The outcome was already determined, and the process, whatever it may be, was inconsequential.

Finally, having sold off 1/5 of the Divine Spirit’s body, gathering about 2000 gold coins, the Divine Spirit’s body changed, autonomously converging to a single point, as if frightened, then twisting, collapsing at the center, and gradually disappearing.

Without the corresponding support, the Mistwalker envoy also vanished, becoming nothingness, drifting across the sea.

Su Changxing hastened to harvest the last bit of the Divine Spirit’s body, as such an opportunity might not come again.

After selling another 300 or so gold coins, the Divine Spirit’s body vanished completely from the sea surface, and everything returned to its original appearance. The sea no longer appeared vile, and a large part of Sindaga disappeared, with only a few small islands remaining on the sea surface.

Su Changxing also noticed that there were still humans on these small islands, but they could no longer be called humans. Their bodies and consciousness were utterly distorted by the Divine Spirit’s influence.

"Rest in peace."

He said softly, flipping his hand to wipe these remaining small islands off the sea, including the "humans" who survived on them.

These things were like cancer cells of this world that had to be excised together, or they would certainly breed germs later on.

Sindaga turned into an empty expanse, completely vanished, with no one knowing what happened, though ships reported seeing a Ghost Ship appear in the nearby waters.

"My lord, where is Sindaga?" Weilian looked at the empty sea, sighing.

Su Changxing shook his head and said, "Gone. It will not be again."

Weilian recalled aloud, "I once thought about buying a house in Sindra to retire... The weather there was always nice."

Su Changxing joked, "Good thing your retirement was delayed."

Weilian smiled, "Still a long way off from retirement... Where do we go next?"

Su Changxing glanced towards Wodan and said, "To Wodan."

He planned to meet with Kasmin before departing, and incidentally learn about the Empress’s situation.

He had found a way to leave, a piece of Divine Artifact from the exchange interface, the Boundary-Breaking Lamp, valued at 300 gold coins, capable of breaking the world’s spatial barriers and guiding direction through spatial coordinates.

Matters of the World of Heaven were more urgent; he had to deal with Wanfang first. With his current strength, he should be sufficient, but he must act quickly. If delayed until Wanfang grows to the level of a Divine Spirit, he would have no solutions.

Weilian hesitated for a moment and said, "Before I left, the Empress told me not to return after departure and not to let this ship approach Wodan again."

"Hmm?" Su Changxing paused, turning to him, "Why?"

Weilian shook his head, "I don’t know either, that’s just what the Empress told me... So, shall we still go?"

Su Changxing seemed indifferent, "Go, why not go, to see what’s going on."

Wodan has never been so simple, whether it’s Eric or the Empress.

Eric could have taken that step previously, breaking the world’s confines, but he didn’t.

That Mechanical Heart could prove everything.

Thick layers of mist veiled before his eyes, obscuring the truth.

The ship sped up once more, with surroundings becoming blurred as if in a darkened room, light distorted, growing dim.

The Ghost Sailors on deck began singing the sailor’s song again, with countless stars above and below.

Jin stood at the deck’s edge, holding a silver fishing rod, occasionally pulling up odd things from the void: shoes, fish bones, coins...

"What’s this?" she asked, looking at a fished-up wooden box, with rusty locks and a pair of glowing bright eyes staring at her from the box.

The wooden box: "Ah?"

Jin, without waiting for any remarks from the box, kicked it down again: "Why do I keep fishing up useless stuff."

Su Changxing could only advise, "This isn’t the sea; maybe you won’t catch any fish."

Jin shrugged, appearing a bit defiant, tying a red-eyed rabbit to the fishing line, instructing it, "I just want fish, nothing else!"

The red-eyed rabbit looked baffled: "???"

Then, Jin tossed it down, and before it realized, it fell into the void.

Su Changxing’s face twitched, finding Jin’s fishing method increasingly aggressive, asking, "Are you sure it won’t die down there?"

Jin confidently replied, "It won’t. Its life force is strong."

Rabbit: "??"

Soon after, Jin reeled the rabbit up again. Surprisingly, the rabbit held a white little fish in its mouth, struggling constantly.

"So small?" Jin showed a dissatisfied expression.

The rabbit, yet to react, got tossed down again.

Xiaobai watched this scene from the shadows, drenched in cold sweat, and quietly slinked beneath the deck to hide.
