Chapter 424: Do You Believe in Light?

Wu Qiong was floating on the sea, waiting for the tsunami to crash onto the land when he sensed something was off. The tides were receding, and the dark clouds above were dissipating.

It felt like a sign, as if the disaster was being resolved, and the massive magic array that should have been broken had seemingly returned to normal.

Could it be that Fu fixed it?

He was puzzled, recalling Lin Nuo and Su Kexin, who had sailed through the waves on a sword.

Them?

They were just humans! That magic array was built by the Sea Domain Dragon Clan; how could they possibly repair it?

He didn’t believe Lin Nuo and the others had this capability, so he decided to head back to that seaside and take a look. He could still enter there, but with the risk of collapse, he could end up buried in the debris at any moment.

He felt that the alternate space was still unstable, nearing collapse, supported by Fu and the human Yu Long. Once their stamina and spiritual energy were exhausted, they’d eventually fall. It couldn’t be long now—going in would probably not end well.

Inside showed no signs of recovering, and Wu Qiong felt it wasn’t a matter of the alternate space.

So what was it?

He noticed that some submerged islands were rising; these islands were parts of the array points, indicating that the array points had been repaired.

What was going on? Who did this?

In an instant, he spotted a pair of heroes flying across the sea.

It was Lin Nuo and Su Kexin! The two had been flying through the Sea Domain for a long time and were now returning, with the tides nearly calmed upon their arrival.

Lin Nuo noticed the dragon man was quite skilled; they had learned how to lie in wait.

“It’s you again?!”

Wu Qiong was furious. After all, as a single man, seeing their lovey-dovey relationship made him want to set them on fire.

“Hello.”

Lin Nuo maneuvered the spirit sword to land at the shore.

Wu Qiong furiously questioned him:

“The tides and dark clouds retreating, was that your doing?”

“What? The tides and dark clouds have retreated?”

Lin Nuo feigned surprise, acting like an innocent bystander.

“Cut the act, it was you!”

Wu Qiong’s body began to radiate powerful spiritual energy, creating localized sea waves.

“Do you really think we have that kind of ability?”

Lin Nuo chuckled coldly:

“You truly don’t understand.”

“Understand what?” Wu Qiong was confused.

“Ha, you underestimate the power of mainland humans.”

Lin Nuo purposely raised his voice and intensified his tone to assert dominance over Wu Qiong.

He continued:

“Our humans have powerful spirit masters, far surpassing those of your Sea Domain Dragon Clan. Repairing that magic array is a piece of cake! While you were gloating, our spirit masters had already fixed it!”

“How could that be? The main array is about to collapse; how could you fix it from the outside?” Wu Qiong questioned skeptically.

“Small-minded, limited perspective. Just because you haven’t seen it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.”

Lin Nuo lightly shook his finger, speaking disdainfully, then pointed towards the north across the sea:

“Our spirit masters are up north; if you’re interested, go see for yourself. They’re strong—don’t say I didn’t warn you if you die.”

Wu Qiong felt infuriated. Strong? Can fix arrays? Kill him? Do these humans truly have such outrageous capabilities?

“Why should I believe you?” Wu Qiong pressed on.

“Believe it or not, it’s up to you. The tides are receding, and the dark clouds are clearing. Oh, right! It must be the Sea God! It’s definitely our Sea God from Ru Yu Village who has arrived! Be careful; a lightning strike might just finish you off.”

Lin Nuo delivered his words seriously, leaving Wu Qiong unsure of what to believe.

But he had to check out the northern side; there had to be something happening there.

Completely unfazed, he laughed heartily:

“Ha! Since you’ve been in the main array, if that collapses, the outer arrays will surely collapse too, and the tsunami will still swallow this place!”

“Well, think whatever you want; no worries—we’ll just be waiting for the tsunami.”

Lin Nuo sat aside, while Su Kexin remained silent, afraid to say something wrong.

Just follow Senior Brother’s lead, right?

Wu Qiong observed Lin Nuo’s calm demeanor. Could it be that the main array could withstand the tsunami? Was it all just a ruse? Or did they have some other means?

Or was this kid just trying to stall him? The tsunami hadn’t fully receded yet, and the repairs weren’t complete.

So this kid was likely worried he’d go meddle with their plans, purposely stalling him?

Well then, I’ll definitely go!

He grinned:

“Ha! I won’t fall into your trap!”

With that, he plunged into the water and quickly departed, heading north.

“Alright, he’s gone.”

Lin Nuo stood up and easily sent the dragon man off, at least better than engaging in a duel with him.

“Senior Brother, where did he go?”

“Doesn’t matter where he went; we need to focus on where we’re headed.”

Lin Nuo answered, then took Su Kexin to the positions near the coastline.

The tides receded, and the waters at the coast had also retreated, exposing a patch of ground for them to stand on.

“Senior Brother, why are we here?”

“You’re like a human version of a thousand questions! So many inquiries?”

“Senior Brother just took me here suddenly and didn’t even explain, oh dear, Senior Brother, if you just tell me upfront, I wouldn’t ask so much~”

Su Kexin tugged at Lin Nuo’s sleeve, sounding sweet and delicate.

Lin Nuo shot her a glance.

It was hard to believe this was the world-saving hero, who once challenged the odds—now he felt like he was babysitting a naïve little girl. She really made him lose face.

What annoyed him was that someone like her could be the main character.

“We’ve arrived at the last stop.”

Lin Nuo held Su Kexin’s hand, leading her to the entrance from before, then stopped.

“Senior Brother, what’s this again?”

“Do you believe in light?” Lin Nuo asked her suddenly.

“Light? What light?” Su Kexin was confused.

“Just tell me if you believe or not.”

“Then, Senior Brother, do you believe?”

“Of course I do.”

“Even though I don’t know what light you’re talking about, but since you believe, I definitely believe, because…”

Su Kexin held Lin Nuo’s hand up, squinting and smiling:

“Because we believe in Senior Brother! Your faith must be worth believing in.”

Lin Nuo smiled back, saying nothing.

What a naïve little girl.

“Let’s go.”

Lin Nuo raised his hand, the Heart of Water Spirit they held emitted an intense blue light, and in an instant, everything before them was engulfed in blinding white.

Su Kexin had no idea where they were headed and could only hold tightly onto Lin Nuo’s hand to avoid getting lost.

Soon, they arrived in the alternate space, almost at the brink of collapse.

Fu spotted Lin Nuo return and was startled:

“Young man, why have you come back??”

He noticed Lin Nuo was still holding a little girl, and even more, they seemed close:

“You’ve brought your partner along?”
