Chapter 436 Deep Sea
"Supernatural creatures in the ocean?"
Vivian's expression tensed up, and she quickly continued to read:
April 25, 1307
[I... saw the real God! A large number of the previous scalemen surrounded the ship. Most of them could only roar, but one of them was particularly old and could speak our language. It told me... our previous actions had angered the Deep Sea Elder, and we must pay the price and beg for its forgiveness. It is tolerant and kind, and will forgive and accept us, making us the real 'Sons of the Sea'! And bless us with a good harvest every time. I tried the ritual it mentioned... ah... I finally truly understood my mission. ]
…
"This person's spirit has begun to change..."
Vivian compared the previous and later diaries and found that the handwriting in this diary was particularly sloppy. It was obvious that Spot's mental state had been affected to a certain extent at that time.
April 26, 1307
[We have all received the 'Gift', and scales have grown on the private parts of our bodies. This is a normal phenomenon. We will gradually approach greatness, gain perfect bodies and long lives...Born said that we are sick and that this is disrespectful to the Deep Sea Elder. We unanimously decided to sacrifice him to the Deep Sea Elder.]
…
May 5, 1307
[The ship returned, announcing that several crew members had been lost in the storm. Everyone in the town accepted this reality calmly. May the deep sea like the sacrifices offered to it... The sea is kind and tolerant. I have received its gift. As long as I grind the scales into powder and scatter them into the sea, it will attract a large number of fish. We can finally get rid of poverty...]
…
December 1307
[I have become a famous person in the town. I will participate in the next mayor election. I will definitely succeed! Hmm... It is difficult for mortals to accept greatness after all. Maybe I need to find a way to cover up the abnormality in my body. Xiataya seems to have discovered something...]
…
January 1, 1308
[I became the mayor, I will promote the faith of the elders of the deep sea... When night fell, I tried the spell to summon the scale man at the seaside... The old scale man came at the invitation and told me... I did a good job, but it was not enough... The sea needs a grand sacrifice... Xiataya is very suitable , farewell, my love, you will get supreme glory and merge with the sea...]
Below this diary, there is a line of spell.
Vivian stroked it with her fingers, feeling a chill, knowing that it did have 'power'.
"Damn evil god..."
She trembled a little, but continued to watch.
January 15, 1308
[The ceremony was successful, and I met the Deep Sea Elder again... Ah... Human language is so pale that it is difficult to describe its greatness... But the Scaled Priest told me that the Deep Sea Elder is just a servant of a certain existence, and that existence is the true ruler of the sea... Its name is a great pronunciation, a syllable that humans cannot pronounce, and can only try their best to simulate a similar meaning... It is called - Nicholas! ]
"It turned out to be it! My Lord's last enemy."
Vivian covered her chest and saw a bright red line under the pronunciation of Nicholas, which was a mark made by later researchers.
Among them, there was also my father's handwriting - 'Maybe it is a variant of a certain marine belief, I need to borrow relevant religious books'.
"Oops... This is getting more and more dangerous."
Vivian frowned.
Although this book is not a true scripture, it is full of taboos.
For example , the spell to summon the scale man, Nicholas's name, and detailed descriptions of some rituals.
After ordinary people obtain it, they may indeed go astray.
She gritted her teeth and flipped through the pages quickly.
The rest of the story is mostly about how Spot spread his faith, controlled the town, sacrificed living people, and traded with the Scaled People.
She glanced around and saw an important article.
1309
[After many sacrifices, the elder of the deep sea gave me a response... When the stars return to their positions, the ruler of the sea will awaken... But that will be hundreds of years later, no... This won't work! I asked the scale-man priest again, and it told me that there is another way. If the great one wants to come to the world, it can also be nurtured in the cradle of life... It must have the right person. I asked it who would be the right person, and it said I already knew it. Yes, I know it...]
[I am so honored that my children will become the signposts for the coming of the ruler of the sea... Unfortunately, they are still too young and need to wait at least sixteen years... I have a great plan...]
…
"Obviously, he must have failed... otherwise the world would be doomed."
Vivian nodded and turned directly to the last page:
1325
[Damn it, Owen betrayed me and rescued Faith... They couldn't have done that, it was the Secret Keeper! The Secret Keeper supported them and ruined my plan... The sea sent me dangerous information, letting me know that an army was heading for the town... Let them come, they can only harvest a ruin at best, and I will return to the embrace of the sea with my people... As for Owen and Faith, I will curse them, curse their souls, and let them suffer forever, and curse their bloodline descendants...]
…
The diary has now come to an end.
Vivian closed the diary, but her mood fluctuated: "It's too dangerous...it must be destroyed...hmm?"
There seemed to be the sound of dripping water in her ears.
The sound of dripping water grew louder and louder, as if it was about to gather into a wave and hit the dam of her spirit and reason.
"This is... spiritual pollution!"
"This diary will secretly corrupt everyone who reads it!"
Vivian closed her eyes.
In the darkness, she seemed to see a blue sea.
Many waves swept in and turned into whirlpools.
Each of her hairs came to life and turned into wriggling seaweed.
"Spiritual Seal!"
Vivian took a deep breath and struggled to outline a double helix rune with her mind.
At the same time, the waves quickly submerged her, rising from her feet, covering her calves, thighs, waist, mouth and nose... suffocating her.
They were forcing her to abandon her spiritual barriers and accept faith in a great being.
"Get out of here!"
When Vivian felt suffocated and about to faint, she finally completed the last stroke of the mark.
A burst of light emerged.
Vivian woke up immediately and found herself still sitting in the chair.
But her whole body was wet, with some kelp and seaweed hanging on her body, as if she had just been fished out of the sea.
