Time quietly passed until this day, at Zhongli's residence.
Zhongli, who had been praising Guizhong's culinary skills, suddenly furrowed his brow and his expression became slightly solemn.
He hadn't expected that his "old friend" would arrive so early.
"Zhongli, what's wrong?" Guizhong asked in confusion. Zhongli's expression made it seem like her dishes were terrible, as if all the previous praises had been lies.
Of course, this thought was fleeting. Knowing Zhongli as she did, he wouldn't say such things without reason, something unknown must have happened.
Zhongli waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. It's just that the one beneath the ocean floor has arrived."
Upon hearing this, Xiao and Paimon's expressions changed.
After all, the one beneath the ocean floor was a true god!
Although Zhongli had sealed them away with apparent ease, their strength was not to be underestimated. In the past, they had caused significant trouble for Liyue.
As for when they broke free, they were not at full strength, severely weakened. If they had been at their peak, a mere Jade Chamber would not have been enough to seal them again.
Hearing this, Azahada sneered, "Isn't it just Osial?"
"Zhongli, has he also shrunk?"
"Let me handle him!"
The little Azahada, now slightly larger, had already wreaked havoc with the Ice-Fire Dual Eyes.
The energy from the Ice-Fire Dual Eyes had all entered his body.
Zhongli glanced at his old friend, his eyelids twitching slightly.
If it were the full-strength Azahada Dragon King, dealing with Osial would naturally be no problem.
But now...
"Although he isn't at his peak, he had recovered about seventy to eighty percent..." Azahada said.
Azahada lowered his head, silently eating without further comment.
"If I could recover even half my strength, I wouldn't be in this state!" Azahada thought, channeling his anger into his appetite.
Indeed, Guizhong's meals, which previously seemed bland and insufficient, were now enjoyable and memorable.
There were advantages to being large, and benefits to being small.
Meanwhile, in the divine realm, at the Sea God's residence.
Poseidon, who had been cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of surprise in his eyes.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Although I haven't absorbed the authority of the Douluo Sea, I have over seventy percent control over the ocean."
"Why is this happening?"
Poseidon was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief.
His control over the ocean was decreasing at an alarming rate!
This had never happened before!
The reason he hadn't absorbed the ocean's authority was that he didn't want the consciousness of Douluo Continent to lose absolute control.
The consciousness of Douluo Continent also reciprocated, allowing Poseidon to freely control the ocean.
Even if the continent's consciousness didn't want to, Poseidon, as the Sea God, could still command the entire ocean.
But now, his control over the ocean was rapidly diminishing. In a short while, he might completely lose his connection to the Douluo Sea.
"Not even a god could do this. Could it be that being?"
"But it doesn't make sense. I haven't absorbed the ocean's authority; I can only command it."
As the Sea God, commanding the ocean was within his rights.
Douluo Continent was still the same continent; he hadn't harmed it...
"No, I need to see what's happening. I must see even if I die."
After saying this, Poseidon's divine consciousness descended to the Sea God's Island to observe the ocean's changes.
As a top-tier god, Poseidon quickly identified the issue. While relieved, his frown deepened.
The reason for his relief was not that the Rock King had caused him to lose control of the ocean.
The reason his frown deepened was that he saw a "sea beast," an extremely terrifying "sea beast"!
Its aura was even more terrifying than the little Azahada Dragon King!
This "sea beast" was the one that had seized his control over the ocean.
"What kind of being is this?"
With Poseidon's understanding of the ocean, he had neither seen nor heard of such a sea beast!
Just sensing its aura made Poseidon feel like a rookie in its presence.
"Morax!" a low roar expressed anger and a strange emotion, causing all marine life in the Douluo Sea to tremble.
They didn't know what Morax was, but they knew that the ocean had welcomed an extremely powerful being.
Even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, which had lived for over nine hundred thousand years and had transformed mentally and physically into a dragon, couldn't help but shiver.
Had it been too long since it patrolled the ocean, or was it for some other reason that it had never noticed this being?
In its presence, Poseidon seemed like a joke.
Fortunately, this being didn't intend to erupt, as the overwhelming pressure came and went quickly.
In just a moment, the vortex that seemed capable of devouring everything calmed down, and the being fell silent, as if contemplating something.
Indeed, Osial was contemplating...
It had woken up to find the seal gone.
This discovery was a pleasant surprise!
But as it "recovered", which was actually seizing control of the ocean, it realized something was wrong.
Very wrong.
This world was not the Teyvat continent...
The shout of "Morax" was its instinctive cry of the name of its enemy.
Anyone sealed away for thousands of years would harbor resentment, right?
It wasn't just sealed once, but twice!
Upon realizing this wasn't Teyvat, Osial was stunned, bewildered, and fell into deep contemplation.
The Overlord of Vortex Osial had become a "transmigrator"?
Since it had transmigrated, its enemies were no longer here.
Now it needed to quickly recover its strength, find a way back, and then seek vengeance in Liyue!
Knowing it was impossible, it would still fight to the death to avenge its wife!
"Morax, I will return!"
The energy in this world was slightly thin. If it directly devoured it, it might cause trouble.
Osial wasn't an utterly evil god; it just had a different way of caring for humans.
This was why it was sealed away, not killed...
Osial, newly arrived in the Douluo Continent, didn't know that the one it longed for, Morax, was already watching it!
Seeing Osial fall silent, Poseidon finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't understand what kind of being this was or why it was so powerful.
"If I were to face this being..." Just the thought made Poseidon shake his head, he was no match.
"Damn it, it's truly a chaotic time."
"First the Martial God, now this sea beast. I should just pass on my divine position and leave."
