"Achoo..."
Over Sea God's Island, Qin Xiao suddenly sneezed.
"Eh, how strange, who is thinking of me?"
Qin Xiao couldn't help but touch his nose.
He couldn't remember the last time he had such a physiological reaction.
The last time he sneezed must have been before his Martial Soul had awakened, right?
Who could be missing him so intensely?
After contemplating for quite some time, Qin Xiao still had no answer.
In his wildest dreams, he couldn't imagine that it was the Deepsea Devil Whale King, whom he had deceived, who was thinking of him...
Forget it, if he couldn't figure it out, then there's no use thinking about it.
Upon returning to Sea God's Island, Qin Xiao immediately caught the attention of countless Sea Soul Masters.
They rushed over from afar, gathering in the plaza before the Seven Sacred Pillars.
Led by the Sea Horse Douluo, Sea Dragon Douluo, Sea Lance Douluo, and other seven guardians, they all knelt before Qin Xiao.
"Greetings, Sea God Your Majesty!"
"Greetings, Sea God Your Majesty!"
"Greetings, Sea God Your Majesty!"
"..."
Their voices were booming, their gazes filled with utter devotion.
In that moment, Qin Xiao felt that if he ordered them to die, none of these Soul Masters would hesitate.
Is this what it means to be a follower?
Indeed, it's both ignorant and fanatical.
Qin Xiao's eyes sparkled as he even saw threads of fine light, like slender filaments, radiating from these Sea Soul Masters.
They converged continuously toward him.
Qin Xiao was no stranger to this, as he knew it to be the power of faith.
He also noticed that the stronger the Sea Soul Masters were, the stronger the power of faith they produced.
For instance, the power of faith born from the Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Horse Douluo, those at the Titled Douluo level, was as thick as a pinky finger, far beyond what ordinary Sea Soul Masters could generate.
"Everyone rise."
"Return to your positions and attend to your duties. Go and do what you must."
After a moment of silence, Qin Xiao, now accustomed to being worshipped, slowly spoke.
His voice wasn't loud, but every Sea Soul Master on Sea God's Island could hear him clearly.
Upon receiving Qin Xiao's command, the Sea Soul Masters moved into action, finding purpose, their spirits even more uplifted than before.
There were no idle people on Sea God's Island, and the crowd dispersed quickly. Soon, only Qin Xiao, Poseissi, and the seven Sea Pillar Guardians, including the Sea Horse Douluo, remained before the Seven Sacred Pillars.
"Your Majesty, may I ask if you have any instructions?"
The chief of the Seven Pillars, Sea Dragon Douluo, asked in a deep voice.
Qin Xiao directly expressed his thoughts to Sea Dragon Douluo, "I command you, in the shortest time possible, to gather all our people and arrange them as much as possible on several large islands around Sea God's Island.
At the same time, integrate all forces above the seas, including pirate groups, which must surrender to Sea God's Island and strictly follow all commands from Sea God's Island. Those who resist will be destroyed."
He believed Tang San wouldn't just let things lie, and that if Tang San appeared again, it could be an even more violent storm.
Not to mention if Tang San were to open another world like the Demonic Plane, the scattered forces would just become food for the enemy.
What Qin Xiao needed to do now was to unite the powers of Sea God's Island, to gather strength and face future troubles.
"We will heed the divine decree!"
After hearing Qin Xiao's words, Sea Dragon Douluo hurriedly nodded, without any doubts or hesitations.
To them, Qin Xiao was the sky; he was their faith.
Qin Xiao's every instruction needed no hesitation; they just had to follow it.
"Sea Horse, Sea Lance, the six of you pillar guardians, also assist Sea Dragon Douluo to complete this task, and the sooner the better."
"We will heed the divine decree."
Similarly, without any hesitation, everyone immediately responded.
Then Qin Xiao waved his hand, and the seven Sea Pillar Guardians hurriedly left.
"However, what has happened?"
After everyone left, Poseissi hesitantly asked in a soft voice.
Qin Xiao nodded, "As you should have seen, Tang San ultimately escaped.
This poses a significant risk; previously, he has already committed some radical actions, his methods extremely cruel, completely disregarding the lives of all beings."
Upon hearing this, Poseissi frowned.
Subsequently, Qin Xiao recounted the happenings in Soul Land to Poseissi.
And as he did so, Poseissi's expression went from calm to significantly altered.
"That Tang San is simply insane, intending to destroy the billions of souls on Soul Land?"
Even with Poseissi's disposition, after listening to Qin Xiao's description, a substantial tumult arose in his heart.
How could such high and mighty gods be so cruel?
And the extent of their cruelty was utterly appalling.
"I don't care what he wants to do, but the people or things I want to protect, I won't allow him to harm!" Qin Xiao's voice was resounding.
"Although I am only at Level 95 in cultivation, I will assist you with all my might, to help you protect them," Poseissi declared resolutely.
After hearing Poseissi's words, Qin Xiao's gaze flickered again, and he slightly shook his head, "You've finally regained your freedom; living your life is what's most important. I can handle Tang San's affairs by myself, but thank you for your kind offer.
While there's still no smoke of war rising in Soul Land, take the opportunity to visit some places you've never been to, see some sights you've never seen; that's the best choice for you."
However, Poseissi shook his head and suddenly smiled, "Those things have no meaning for me; I'm not as young as I appear to be."
