Chapter 46: Children of the Sea

As the ship drew closer, the sailor immediately saw the giant dark shadow under the water and shouted in panic, “There seems to be a rock up ahead!”

The call startled everyone, and more sailors appeared on the deck, searching the open water for hidden rocks. The captain hurried to the front of the ship. “That is impossible, this is a very safe route! We have sailed this route many times! How can there be rocks all of a sudden?”

Even so, they saw the dark shadow under the water slowly grow larger. A circular black area gradually appeared from under the water. Confusion filled the minds of everyone present, “What is that?”

Boom! The water exploded as a large head rose up from the ocean into the sailors’ view. A huge black octopus erupted from under the ocean, its long tentacles immediately entangling the ship. The large suction cups on its tentacles were terrifying to look at it.

“My God, what is that?!”

“Goddess Maria above, what kind of monster is that?!”

“Help!”

“Mummy!”

The sailors gaped as they watched the huge tentacles grab their ship, tilting their ship toward the bottom of the ocean. Sailors stumbled across the deck, being flung this way and that by the octopus’s force. A chorus of screams and cries rose from the ship.

Shorde lost his footing and was sent flying out the deck toward the monster. The octopus opened its pitch black mouth, and Shrode saw the flickering flames within it. Shorde slipped into a daze, and could only mutter one word, “Monster!”

The fire sprang forth, instantly igniting the ship and incinerating Shorde. The other ships in the fleet attempted to get away, but they were all easily capsized by the octopus.

After this incident, more and more fleets began running into the Children of the Sea. Sometimes it was giant octopi, sometimes it was massive whales, other times it was large sharks with hard head capsules that could destroy a ship simply by ramming into it. Each of these creatures were enormous, and not something an average humans could deal with.

The further the ship went into the ocean, the more likely it was to run into these creatures. These creatures were massive and rarely appeared near the land or shallow waters. But their presence became a great obstacle for sea trading and put a large dent in the merchants’ and nobles’ income.

People began employing Bloodline Knights to deal with them. But even the Bloodline Knights were unable to kill them. The powers from their bloodline could cause great damage to the monsters, as could large crossbows, but it couldn’t kill them. After all, these Children of the Sea were creatures that could use supernatural powers.

These monsters were like gods. Some could spew fire, others could instantly freeze a large area of the ocean. Some had the ability to let out strange sounds that could put sailors to sleep. Each one of them possessed a powerful vitality and sturdy skin. Some monsters even formed groups, swimming in certain areas of the ocean, patrolling their deep-sea territories. None of the fleets and Bloodline Knights that set out to kill these creatures had ever returned. Even the most powerful warrior seemed powerless in front of these monsters. The ocean once again descended into darkness. People gave these creatures the name Children of the Sea.

Other than the various natural disasters, seafarers were now faced with an unavoidable obstacle. The deep sea became something humans couldn’t, nor dare, venture into.

After creating Sakun, Lu Zhiyu began thinking about working on himself again. However, he wasn’t planning on making a mythical creature template for himself. He could only try adding some special power to his own genes. In that respect, he was more like the creatures who were affected by Sakun’s blood. Without deifying his entire body, he wasn’t a deified creature and was full of weakness. But he could not rush things. Forcefully trying to use a mythical creature template on himself would cause a large amount of his cells and genes to crumble. Lu Zhiyu did not want to just exist as a brain.

Deifying his entire body would only take seventeen years. It had already been a year, and he could afford to wait. Plus, he could use this time to consider what kind of mythical creature template he wanted. The first thing he considered were weaknesses of a mythical creature and ways to kill one. So far, it looked like mythical creatures were highly modifiable and immortal. They could continue becoming more powerful indefinitely and their potential was limitless. But were they really that perfect, that invincible?

“As long as I cannot kill all of a mythical creature’s deified cells in one attack, then it would not die. It would then have a chance to be reborn!” Lu Zhiyu shook his head. This was easier said than done. It was very likely that the mythical creature would have a clan of other creatures it had affected, intentional or not. There would definitely have been other life forms that were assimilated unintentionally by the mythical creature, or fused with its deified cells. These creatures were all spawns of the mythical creature. Even if the main body were to be killed, the mythical creatures would be able to be reborn from the body of their spawns. In order to kill completely the mythical creature, one would have to kill not only the mythical creature itself, but also all of its spawns in order to prevent it from being reborn. Otherwise, given enough time, they would be able to return once again!

“They sure lived up to their name as mythical creatures!”

He spent a long time thinking of a weakness and couldn’t think of any. It sure was congruent with Lu Zhiyu’s expectations of a higher order being.

“So what is the most important thing to a mythical creature? What is the core of their existence?”

Lu Zhiyu had decided to approach the question from another angle. The time he spent experimenting on Sakun had increased his understanding about souls, mind power and the existence of deified cells.

The soul was the purest form of consciousness and thought. It could be fused with the Source Form to become mind power. Mind power, in some sense, was the product of the fusion of the soul and Source Form. Deified cells were then the product of fusing mind power and cells. The most important thing to a mythical creature should be its consciousness and thought. Lu Zhiyu immediately wondered if there was a way to skip past the mind power and deified cells and directly attack a mythical creature’s consciousness and thought.

“Thought in itself is a form of power. Would I be able to develop this kind of power for my mythical creature template and become a mythical creature that could control thought and consciousness!”

Thought and consciousness, in some sense, was a collection of information. It was the carrier of the soul and mind. Lu Zhiyu immediately formed a connection with how he created the mind dimension after he deified the cells in his brain. That was the palace that stored his will and collection of information!

Lu Zhiyu felt that he could change his deified cells and strengthen his mind dimension through that, transforming it into a more powerful space of consciousness. This way, no matter how powerful a mythical creature was, he would be able to disregard its powerful mind power, deified cells and genetic ability and drag its consciousness and thoughts into his own consciousness space.

In his realm, Lu Zhiyu would have various ways of erasing their consciousness. As long as their consciousness was completely erased, the mythical creature would not be able to resurrect itself no matter how power its mind power and deified cells were. It would, in essence, be dead, similar to how a human could become brain dead. Their bodies would not have died, but existentially speaking, it would have died!

Of course, a method like this was very dangerous. Lu Zhiyu had only considered one angle and still needed a few experiments to figure out what exactly he had to do. However, he knew that if he succeeded, even mythical creatures could be completely killed. This was also beneficial because it alerted him of his own weakness, in case someone else tried to do the same thing to him in the future. Lu Zhiyu got to work immediately.

“I should make use of my mental talent, the ability to transmit thought. This would have a great effect on the creation and guidance of a mind dimension!”

In Lu Zhiyu’s eyes, a person’s consciousness and thoughts were all information. The dream world he wanted to construct was a world made up completely of information. But this space would exist within him. It would be a mind world that was rooted within his deified cells.

If Lu Zhiyu wanted to construct a world like this, his deified cells must have the ability to control and alter information. He would then be able to control and guide the consciousness space through his cells!

“I’ll call it the dream world, a space made up completely of consciousness and information!” Lu Zhiyu had made the decision.
