The deep seawater was transparent just like a giant crystal.

Well, that was not true. First, the water here was not sea water, but fresh water. Second, there were too many bubbles, too many turbulent flows in the water. And most importantly, because of the lack of light, it was gloomy. It was not really like a crystal.

Sui Xiong sighed.

For nearly half a month in the dark water, he was bored. However, it was necessary to work. He was just trying to enjoy himself.

In fact, Sui Xiong was not good at performing monologues, regardless of them being serious, lyrical or funny. He couldn’t even amuse himself.

“The Heart of Elents... Where can I find that?” Sui Xiong talked to himself and swam slowly according to the map drawn in his mind.

As he swam, he maximized his detection ability and tried to search for any possible clues around.

If the map in his mind was drawn out, he would find that his whole trace was a spiral line, turning around and around, slowly expanding the scope of detection from inside to out. There was no omission.

It was a silly way, but there was no other choice.

The plane of the water elent was a chaotic area with neither mountains nor barriers. The landmarks here were warm currents, cold currents, torrents, turbulence, huge whirlpools, bubbles, hot water, cold water, brine, fresh water, and poisonous water. If there was no guidance, even the most powerful god like him could only swim like a headless fly.

In fact, at present, there were nine other gods in the Water Elent Plane: the Goddess of the Ocean, Ariel, and her eight sea kings.

After all these years of preparation, Ariel almost built her own God’s Kingdom. But she wanted to make the God’s Kingdom a fortress of attack and defense, so she needed to add so powerful and unique facilities to it. The most important one was the “Water Elent Condensation Pool.”

It was a special magic facility that could transform magic power into mysterious elent activity and give life to ordinary water and make it into a water elent; it could also expend magic power to promote the growth of ordinary water elents to quickly grow into elite creatures. If you were willing to consu more magic power, it even could help the elders specialized in water elents break through their bottleneck, step into the Legendary Realm and beco a Lord of Elents.

As for becoming a demigod, there were no shortcuts. If there were any exact ways to cultivate a demigod, the rulers of the four elents would have beco the strongest. Was there really no way for Ariel to make a Water Elent Condensation Pool?

There was no Water Elent Condensation Pool in the forr Goddess of Ocean, Vorpocus’ God’s Kingdom. She built the whole kingdom into a fortress and then used Divine Power to strengthen the defense or to set off storms in disorder. The “Despot of the Sea,” the “Monarch of Storms,” the “Master of Storms”—such titles were sufficient to illustrate the problem.

Ariel was not as absurd as Vorpocus. She had many legacies of Vorpocus, including the lessons that Vorpocus sumd up in her life. For the next god of the sea, Vorpocus urged her not to expand the clergy and belief arbitrarily. If she wanted to expand the scope of the clergy and belief, she could adopt the thod of aligning with other gods. One advantage was that she would have the most reliable allies. The other was that she could greatly reduce the risk of being swallowed by the power of belief.

In view of Vorpocus’s advice, Ariel had put herself in the right place from the very beginning. She positioned herself as “the God of rmaids, the diator of all Ocean Races, and the Ally of Sea Gods.” She distributed such things as storms, waves, sea fog and even sea areas to all demigods and legendary masters in the sea. She promised them shelter and guidance as long as they were willing to live with other sea races in accordance with the general rules of peace, and to help them when needed.

At first glance, the clergy was not powerful, but other gods would never underestimate her. On the contrary, many powerful gods expressed their willingness to make alignnt and share mutual assistance. At least they could live in peace.

Although Ariel’s deity rose more slowly than Vorpocus’s, her deity would be exceptionally strong and concise. There was no need to worry about the contamination of divinity by faith for her. Not only that, with her strength, sooner or later, a group of sea gods would gather under her leadership to form a pretty large-scale god system.

The weakness of this system was also obvious. The lack of high-end force was fatal. After all, the strongest one in the whole god system was Ariel. Although Ariel only had a limited fighting capacity, she had two strong “ntors.” Her ntors would probably be the top two among the gods.

With the strong backing of the Void Mask and the God of Justice, would high-end force still a problem?

That was what Ariel herself thought. The Void Mask told Ariel the idea of building her God’s Kingdom as a fortress. This ant that her God’s Kingdom would be able to retreat at the critical monts. The core part of the fortress needed to be highly mobile and able to move all followers in when necessary and leave the unimportant parts there.

As for these unimportant parts, these could be transford into countless water elents imdiately. As for how the enemy should deal with these thick-skinned water elent creatures, that was the enemy’s problem.

In order to achieve this goal, she not only needed to build the Water Elent Condensation Pool, but also to build the largest one in the world. After all, it needed to turn the God’s Kingdom into countless water elents at the critical monts.

Making a Water Elent Condensation Pool bigger had another advantage. If the battle was not particularly fierce, it just needed to create so water elent creatures to fight. There was no need to send many Oracles to fight.

It was true that Oracles could be resurrected, but resurrecting Oracles required a lot of energy. So it was more economical to use water elent creatures than to use Oracles.

This was Sui Xiong’s suggestion. He tended to use elent creatures as his troops. For example, in several wars, he used elent creatures as his troops. Why? Nothing but economical.

Thousands of Oracles rushed up and died one after another. That seed impressive, but they were all precious Divine Powers.

In contrast, elent creatures could grow and revive by absorbing elent power. Although elent creatures were weaker than Oracles, one can win the battle by quantity.

Facts had proved that his idea was very useful.

That was why Ariel wanted to build a huge Water Elent Condensation Pool and create elent creatures troops. Of course, elent creatures were not sothing that could only be used in warti. They could be used to cultivate Oracles or to act as a handyman of the God’s Kingdom.

As for the deficiency of ntal capacity of the elent creatures, that was not a problem. Followers could act as commanders and give orders, and elent creatures were responsible for working.

Generally speaking, Ariel’s design was very good. They could be used both in warti or peace. The only problem was that building such a huge Water Elent Condensation Pool required a huge amount of materials.

Ordinary materials were easy to get, but the most precious one was the Heart of Elents.

Specifically, it was the heart of water elents.

The origin of this thing was simple. If a water creature died because of age, it might produce a water elent heart in its corpse. The problem was that elent creatures did not have the concept of “life spans.”

They would grow and beco stronger. But in any case, they wouldn’t die of aging.

Once before, there were powerful magicians who imprisoned so weak elent creatures and used powerful magic to keep them senile. After nearly a thousand years, these magicians were dying of old age, but these elent creatures were almost the sa as when they were captured.

To make elent creatures die of old age, we must first make them have a life span. This ans breaking its own limits. In other words, we need to help them step into the Legendary Realm.

Unlike ordinary creatures, elent creatures would produce a life span when they stepped into the Legendary Realm.

This was a good thing and a bad thing. But as long as there was a chance to be a legendary master, few elent creatures would refuse.

Certainly, that would make them lose eternal life, but even elent creatures with relatively low intelligence knew that it was not life spans but strength that determined how long a person could live in this world.

There were lots of elent creatures without strength dying every day. But for the Lord of Elents who were in the Legendary Realm, not even one would die each year.

Not to ntion that “becoming stronger” was the nature of all living creatures. There were no exceptions!

Once elent creatures stepped into the Legendary Realm, they could beco Elental Lords. Even an Elent Lord at the lowest level could live for thousands of years. If he was lucky enough to die, he would leave behind the Heart of Elents.

It took about one hundred Hearts of Elents to build the huge Water Elent Condensation Pool that designed by Ariel.

She just had to be patient.
