The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

Chapter 845: Divine Realm Key, Mystical Divine Realm (2)

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The green grass and fresh flowers spread from underfoot to the edge of the distant forest, where the pupils of naive little deer peeked out from the woods, curiously watching their group.

This scene gave the feeling of an ultimate harmony between nature and creatures, with natural beauty filling the surroundings.

“It seems that this divine realm is maintaining vitality,” Ji Chen thought to himself as he looked at the peaceful and vibrant scene before him.

Most divine realms of various divine lineages have been passed down from countless generations of gods for tens of millions, or even tens of thousands of years. Because of the resources required for their establishment and development, they are considered vast.

The divine realms of powerful lineages were extremely large, such as the elven divine realm, which was like a small world, accommodating billions of divine realm inhabitants and forming its own system.

On the other hand, the divine realms of weaker lineages were only the size of villages, able to accommodate very few inhabitants.

Comparing divine realms to cities, powerful divine realms were like super cities, vast in territory and rich in resources, naturally strong, while weaker divine realms were like small towns, small in size with sparse inhabitants, naturally weak.

Moreover, divine realms were not fixed and were a very special existence. They could move in the void according to the will of the gods, like a moving fortress of war.

Looking at the vast scenery before him, that had been at least a medium-sized divine realm.

However, one thing Ji Chen could be sure of was that this divine realm seemed to have no gods present, or at least it seemed that no gods were in control.

Because the divine realm was an extension of the will of the gods, anything entering or exiting couldn’t escape its gaze. They had been here for some time, but there was still no movement.

Both divine power armies had all arrived and were arranged as instructed, on alert, with several heroes of the Ocean Crown also cautiously surveying their surroundings, in case of a sudden attack.

“Let’s move forward,” Ji Chen decided to explore this divine realm actively.

The core of the divine realm must be in the central position, and any valuable things would be concentrated there, so the direction was quite clear.

The group of mountains didn’t look too far away, but in reality, they were astonishingly far. Even after flying at high speed in the air for half an hour, the distance was only halved.

Here, it seemed that space had been stretched out.

“The power of space?” Ji Chen thought to himself.

During the continuous flight, there were magnificent views along the way. The slaughter, bloodshed, chaos, and desolation of the main world seemed to be non-existent here, replaced by peaceful scenes everywhere.

The birds and beasts living here didn’t seem to prey on each other. They had evolved a unique mechanism, swallowing and digesting the energy pervading the air when hungry, and the substances they produced somehow returned to the heavens and the earth, circulating and continuing.

Looking at this scene, several heroes couldn’t help but feel surprised and enlightened.

No wonder the creatures of the main world longed for and coveted divine realms. Here, it seemed that there was no struggle or conspiracy; all they needed to do was enjoy a carefree life.

However, Ji Chen knew that even in the most peaceful places, they were not naturally created that way.

The divine realm was an extension of the will of the gods; as the will of the gods, so was the divine realm. He believed that dark and cunning gods would create dark and sinister divine realms, while fallen and weak gods would naturally have decaying and dim realms.

The Ocean Crystal Wyvern and the Naga Iron Colossus, empowered by divine energy, swiftly flew through this unnamed divine realm, crossing numerous mountains, grasslands, forests, lakes, and rivers.

Along the way, they saw no buildings, as if this place were an independent natural world.

After flying for two hours, they finally saw a towering giant tree piercing through the clouds, with only the massive trunk visible below the clouds.

Without hesitation, Ji Chen commanded the troops to tilt upwards by several degrees, flying towards the top of the giant tower and into the clouds.

On the trunk of this tree, which seemed to hold up the entire world, the guards, blending in with the color of the trunk, slowly stretched their bodies that had ’ not moved for countless years, and their green eyes suddenly opened.

Their wings flapped rapidly, lifting them up.

Ji Chen remained vigilant, quickly noticing the increasingly discordant guards around him.

His pupils slightly contracted.

These were… insects.

What gathered before him like a dark cloud were giant insects.

They looked like ordinary insects magnified dozens of times, but in reality, they concealed terrifying power.

These insects were the army of this divine realm!

Though their emitted power was not comparable to the elven divine realm army, it was much stronger than the Oceanic Divine Realm army.

Seeing this uniform army of insects, Ji Chen seemed to recall something, and a flash of realization passed through his eyes.

Could this be… the Natural Divine Realm?

As this idea came to mind, everything suddenly became clear.

Among the numerous divine lineages passed down over countless years, some lineages grew stronger through management, while others gradually declined or barely survived. Some lineages couldn’t escape the erosion of time and perished under the wheels of history.

The Dungeon Divine Lineage, the Earth Divine Lineage, the Ice and Snow Divine Lineage…

Among them was the Natural Divine Lineage.

It was a lineage powered by various natural rules, such as “thunderstorms,” “gales,” and “waters.” One of the three authorities Ji Chen currently possessed, “Thunder Authority,” was also one of the authorities once held by the Natural Divine Lineage.

The Natural Divine Lineage had once been a relatively strong lineage. Although it couldn’t compare to the Elven Divine Lineage or the Radiant Divine Lineage, it was at least in the upper echelons of the second tier, belonging to the orderly divine lineages.

However, in the first divine war, the Natural Divine Lineage lost a total of nine natural gods. By the end of the divine war, with wounds aplenty, what was once a powerful and prosperous Natural Divine Lineage suddenly dwindled to only two or three remaining gods.

Over the next tens of thousands of years, the Natural Divine Lineage and its teachings gradually declined for various reasons, with a significant decrease in followers and a weakening of faith to the extreme.

One of the characteristics of the demise of a divine lineage is the gradual disappearance of its divine realm into the void, losing contact and trace.

According to records, the Natural Divine Realm disappeared silently 370,000 years ago.

Therefore, tens of thousands of years after the end of the first divine war, the Natural Divine Lineage was also deemed extinct. At least that’s how it appeared to the other divine lineages.

But now, it seemed that the Natural Divine Realm had not disappeared but existed somewhere in the void without being discovered.

This caused Ji Chen to feel a surge of excitement.

Since the Natural Divine Realm had not disappeared, did it mean that the remaining natural gods were still alive?

Countless thoughts raced through his mind as he looked at the swarm of Natural Divine Realm army, and Ji Chen conceived a plan, his palm suddenly flashing with lightning.

—Thunder Authority.

The Natural Divine Realm army sensed this familiar yet unfamiliar power, with a hint of anthropomorphized confusion flashing across their faces. Then, they slowly stopped and lost their aggressiveness.

They even began to chirp as if trying to please.

Ji Chen’s eyes flickered. This move was indeed effective. Thunder Authority was once one of the authorities controlled by the Natural Divine Lineage, but it was later obtained by the Elven Mother Goddess, Eluvia.

However, this familiar natural authority power, like a pass, made the Natural Divine Realm army think they were among their own.

With their guard down, they quickly fluttered their wings and returned to the trunk one by one. Their bodies of various colors returned to the same color as the trunk, and they resumed their dormant state, executing the commands their masters had given them countless years ago.

Alice and the others looked over one after another. Ji Chen signaled to continue flying upwards. He had a premonition that what they sought would be found at the top.

The higher they flew, the more alarmed they became.

The higher each section of the trunk was, the stronger the dormant Natural Divine Realm army became. They ranged from slightly stronger than the Oceanic Divine Realm army to almost comparable to the Elven Divine Realm army, but their numbers dwindled.

After half an hour of flying upwards, they finally pierced through the sprawling clouds and saw the immensely dense canopy ahead..
