Chapter 401 Ariel who hates the sea god
"Poseidon Island?"
Zhou Qing began to doubt Ariel's identity. After all, the residents of Hanhai City mostly called the island "Devil's Island".
Sea God Island——
This is a name that only devout believers of the sea god would mention.
However, when Ariel talked about Poseidon Island, there was a hint of resentment in her eyes.
fleeting.
But Zhou Qing could feel that Ariel had no good feelings towards Poseidon Island.
"That is the place where the legendary sea god Poseidon became a god. However, for the soul masters on the mainland, the name Devil Island is more appropriate. All soul masters who want to go there must first pass the test of the Devil Soul Great White Sharks. Each one is more than ten thousand years old, and the leader has reached the level of more than one hundred thousand years old."
Ariel seemed to be very disgusted with Poseidon Island. When she saw Zhou Qing's question, she deliberately started to criticize the Island.
"After you get ashore, the soul masters on the island will take you to participate in another test. Only after you complete it can you stay, and you can never leave the Sea God Island again. Otherwise, you will betray the faith of the Sea God and will be wiped out."
"If you fail to complete the assessment, you will be considered disloyal to the Sea God and will still be eliminated!"
"So, the soul masters here call it Devil's Island."
These words were full of strong personal subjective will, and the four people had different reactions.
Romantina said: "Eliminate? Isn't that too cruel?"
Xiao Wu said: "That Sea God is definitely not a good person."
Zhou Qing did not express his opinion. After all, he knew that the god of the sea was Poseidon, and now they were on the sea, so it was better to be safe than sorry.
Tang San's words were much simpler and more brutal: "Illicit temple and illicit worship!"
What are obscene temples and obscene sacrifices?
The Book of Rites states: "To offer sacrifices to something that is not meant to be offered is called obscene sacrifice! Obscene sacrifices bring no blessings!"
Worshiping ghosts and gods that have done nothing for the people is considered lewd worship.
Tang San had learned this when he was a child in his previous life. He did not believe in gods in his previous life, but he also knew that gods would punish mortals by killing them if they failed to complete the tasks they assigned...
Could this be a true god?
It's clearly a demon!
Moreover, Tang San, who was born in Bashu in his previous life, now feels that only one person can take on the role of Sea God:
Mazu is the goddess of silence.
That Poseidon is probably just a soul master who broke through level 100 and called himself a god just by virtue of his powerful strength.
Even Tang San had made up his mind that when he had the chance in the future, he would investigate the situation on Sea God Island. After confirming that there were obscene temples and sacrifices, as well as related business organizations there, he would directly destroy them and give the people there a clear world so that they would not be deceived again.
Ariel saw the four people's reactions and nodded secretly with satisfaction.
Zhou Qing brought the topic back and said, "The Sea God Island and related legends are a bit too far away from us. Miss Ariel, do you know the habits of the magic cube octopus?"
"That's no problem."
Ariel led everyone to the bow and ordered the crew and sailors to circle the rocky area and then enter along a sea channel that was large enough for the ship to enter.
According to Ariel, this sea route was opened up by the soul masters in Hanhai City for generations. There were reefs originally, but they were dug out to facilitate the passage of ships.
But Zhou Qing noticed that when Ariel said this, she seemed excited and happy about the transformation of this place by humans.
“Although the Rubik’s Cube Octopus is called a fish, in the minds of sea soul masters, it is not actually a fish, but a creature abandoned by the Sea God.”
"How to say?"
Zhou Qing was curious about the explanation.
"It is rumored that all octopuses originally had bones, but because they were unwilling to contribute their faith to the Sea God, their bones were removed after the Sea God became a god."
Zhou Qing did not comment on Ariel's statement.
Are the octopus bones a punishment for not submitting to the sea god?
It's impossible! No matter how powerful the Sea God is, he can only interfere with the evolution of living things with his divine power, but he can't directly remove the bones of a living thing to ensure its immortality.
This is not a soul bone!
Besides, even if God can strip away the bloodline, an octopus will still be an octopus after being deprived of its bloodline. At most, it will become an ordinary octopus. Can it possibly become a non-octopus species?
[This Ariel seems to have a grudge against Poseidon! Her words are half true and half false! ]
Zhou Qing noticed that when Ariel said this, the other crew members didn't react much, probably because they were all atheists.
The sailors in this coastal area all believe in the sea god to a certain extent. They are not devout, but they prefer to believe it exists rather than not.
But on this Mermaid, Captain Ariel seems to be quite dissatisfied with Poseidon, while the rest of the crew and sailors are atheists.
Depends on the sea for food, but does not believe in the sea god——
Zhou Qing thinks these people are amazing!
Man can conquer heaven!
For fishermen who make a living from the sea, is the catch a reward from the sea god?
Do not!
It was the fishermen throughout the ages who summed up the laws of tides through their own explorations, discoveries, and experiences, using their labor to earn a living, rather than receiving a gift from the sea god.
Before the appearance of the sea god, did fishermen lose their ability to catch fish?
Absolutely impossible!
Then, Ariel continued, "That's why the cube octopus is so soft and covered with tentacles, so that they can camouflage and hunt."
"And they crawl onto the rocks to rest at night—"
"It is said that when the magic cube octopus rests at night, it will absorb the light of the moon to practice and condense a brain bead in its mind, which can enhance the spiritual power of the soul master."
Zhou Qing asked: "Can every Rubik's Cube Octopus produce brain beads?"
"No, the chance is not much different from a soul beast exploding soul bone. It depends purely on luck."
Ariel said as she pulled out a water bag from the waist bag hanging on her body, opened the sieve, and took a sip, "So, don't expect to get a brain bead when hunting a cube octopus. Wait until night falls and concentrate on picking a cube octopus of the right age."
As the ship sailed in, the strange and bizarre reefs in the rocky sea area came into everyone's sight one by one. There were even some black creatures with dog-like faces and smooth bodies lying on the reefs to bask in the sun.
When they saw the ships coming in, only a small number of them jumped into the sea, while most of them just lay there lazily, as if they didn't care at all that they would be hurt.
"What are these creatures?"
Zhou Qing was somewhat surprised to see these creatures that looked like seals and sea lions.
"They are sea dogs, not soul beasts, but ordinary marine creatures. There will be no soul rings if we kill them. In addition, soul masters in this coastal area hunt sea soul beasts, which can increase the living space of these ordinary marine creatures."
As Ariel introduced, she seemed to be inspired and sighed, "Sea soul beasts above the ten thousand year level have the same intelligence as humans of seventeen or eighteen years old. They hate humans because human soul masters will choose to hunt them in order to break through the realm.
But in my opinion, for the sake of food and rapid cultivation, they hunt other weak soul beasts and eat ordinary marine life. This behavior is actually not fundamentally different from that of humans.
Almost all sea soul beasts submit to the Sea God——
But how could they know that the so-called Sea God was essentially a human soul master whose soul power had broken through level 100, and he just needed their faith to condense his deity status.
The sea soul beasts that believe in the Sea God, although their bodies are free, their souls have been shackled by the Sea God and can never escape the control of the Sea God for the rest of their lives.
Poor! Sad! Lamentable!
Perhaps only death can bring true relief to sea soul beasts..."
Zhou Qing felt something was wrong.
[Who is this Ariel? She seems to know Poseidon very well and hates him... Poseidon Island is even called Devil's Island. Could it be that someone like Ariel spread the word?]
