Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 796: Chapter 353: Entering the Sea God Ruins

The air was filled with tension, and the surrounding islands seemed to be holding their breath, observing.

Lightning continued to flicker within the dark clouds, adding more mystery and danger to this confrontation.

“I am not here to seize anything.”

“But I wish to protect this land and everything it upholds. If anyone intends to exploit these powers, it certainly isn’t me.”

At that moment, a gale suddenly arose, causing the trees on the island to sway unsteadily.

This seemed to be a response, also akin to a warning from the unfathomable ocean depths.

“Your words are moving, but your bloodline makes it hard for me to fully trust you.”

The Sea Emperor could feel the powerful energy emanating from within David, though his heart’s wariness remained unabated.

David took a deep breath, realizing that the situation ahead involved not just his own fate, but the future of the entire Sea Race.

To break this tense deadlock, he decided to display his Sea God bloodline origin power.

“If I can make you feel my sincerity and strength, perhaps you’ll change your stance,” David said slowly.

He closed his eyes, silently chanting a spell in his heart.

As the spell echoed within, the long-hidden power of the Sea God bloodline within David began to surge.

In an instant, a strong wave of energy erupted from deep within him, like a turbulent sea, making the surrounding air tremble violently.

In that moment, the air seemed to be compressed into stillness, and the surrounding islands fell into silence.

The mermaid warriors, feeling this pressure, instinctively took a step back, realizing that this Dragon Descendant Mage wasn’t as simple as they had imagined.

Meanwhile, the Sea Emperor’s face changed drastically, his abyss-like, icy eyes widening.

He could feel the pressure from a bloodline origin bearing down on him, a majesty that seemed to stem from endless history and heritage.

In this moment, he realized it wasn’t just power; it was a primal intimidation from the depths of the Sea God bloodline.

“This… Your bloodline…”

The Sea Emperor struggled to form words.

He had never thought that David would possess such a powerful aura, which not only challenged his authority but also intensified his inner unease.

Now, the relationship between the two was no longer a pure rivalry, but a more complex and unavoidable confrontation—one rooted in their shared ancestry.

“I don’t intend to confront you; I hope you understand that we share a part of the same essence,” David said, opening his eyes slightly, calm and resolute.

“I hold a reverence for this land, these waters, and everything contained within. I hope we can join forces to protect this Endless Sea together.”

As his words fell, the surging wave of energy began to stabilize, and the tension in the air lessened.

At that moment, a subtle and strange connection seemed to form between them, like two rivers converging into a more magnificent and unmeasurable current.

The Mermaid Leader watched quietly, realizing that the situation might be developing beyond her initial expectations.

Seeing the most powerful ruler of her race being deterred by an outsider made her understand that this moment might signify a new beginning.

She took a step back in respect, while also contemplating her next choices and strategies.

“You are right,” a voice, heavy and majestic as the ocean, resounded powerfully.

“We indeed have common ground; we both wish to protect our home and the great secrets it harbors.”

After a brief, solemn contemplation, the Sea Emperor slowly retracted his sharp, knife-like gaze.

This seemingly became a crucial turning point for both sides to reassess their relationship.

He softly said, “If so, I am willing to listen to your proposal, but remember, I will never allow anyone to harm my people or this place.”

Seeing the situation ease, David smiled slightly.

He didn’t mind what the Sea Emperor planned since his goal was simply to enter the Sea God Ruins.

Glancing at the Sea Emperor, David headed toward the entrance of the Sea God Ruins, intending to check how to open it.

The Mermaid Race had long discovered this place, yet had not explored it, hinting at some issues of its own.

The ruins had lain dormant beneath the sea for millennia, surrounded by mysterious water flows and halos, as if guarding some precious secret.

The Sea Emperor and the mermaid warriors followed closely, vigilantly watching everything around.

The entrance to the ruins was sealed by a massive crystal gate, carved with intricate and ancient runes.

Those runes flickered with a faint blue light, like stars in the deep sea, instantly capturing David’s attention.

He reached out and gently touched the runes with his fingers, feeling a warm and familiar power entering his body.

“This is… the power of the Sea God,” he thought to himself.

At this moment, he felt an innate connection, the runes seemingly responding to his bloodline power.

“This ruins was built by our ancestors to commemorate the great Sea God,”

the Sea Emperor said softly, also becoming aware of the powerful bloodline within David. “But we have never found a way to open it.”

David nodded slightly, knowing this moment might be an opportunity to solve the mystery.

He closed his eyes again, concentrating, connecting his bloodline power with the external environment.

As his consciousness gradually sank deeper, those ancient runes began to shine more brightly, intertwining gold and silver glimmers unlike the previous single blue light.

He focused all his attention on the runes, feeling each detail come to life.

In that instant, a strong and immense energy surged like a tide, resonating with his bloodline.

Suddenly, the massive crystal gate emitted a deep and melodious hum, seemingly responding to his call.

As the vibration intensified, a dazzling light emanated from the gate, illuminating the surrounding islands as if it were daylight.

“Look!”

The mermaid warriors exclaimed, awestruck by the unfold event.

The gate gradually opened to both sides, like waves dividing in the ocean.

When the gate completely opened, a brand new world appeared before them—a vast hall flowing with colorful liquid, resplendent with gold and jade, exquisitely carved and filled with a mysterious aura.

This was a place belonging to ancient civilizations from distant times, yet still exuding a unique charm today.

But just as they were about to step into this new world, a hurried and fierce sound emerged from afar, unsettling like crashing waves.

“How is it possible? He actually opened the Sea God Ruins!” The Sea Emperor’s pupils contracted, filled with disbelief.

The shock left the Sea Emperor momentarily speechless, his gaze fixated on the already opened crystal gate.

As the ruler of the Sea Race, he had attempted numerous times to unravel the secrets of this ruin, but never succeeded.

Unexpectedly, this Sea Dragon Race member opened the ruin’s gate in such a short time, making him feel an unprecedented threat.

“This is impossible!”

The Sea Emperor muttered to himself, unable to believe that there could be such a powerful existence capable of easily manipulating ancient powers.

The bloodline power within David was so extraordinary, which meant in a certain sense, he had surpassed the ruler himself, challenging his authority.

As David entered the hall, a mysterious and fresh aura greeted him.

It felt as if immersed in the mysterious depths of the ocean, every detail carrying the power and wisdom passed down by ancient civilizations.
