Chapter 4112: Chapter 3861
The other Sacred Pillars were shocked; they knew how much Sea Dragon detested Continent Soul Masters!
Is it really okay to let him take the lead in discussions?
"Um... Grand Elder, perhaps you should assign this task to me. As the leader of the Seven Sacred Pillars, Sea Dragon should remain on the island for protection!"
"Yes, yes, if necessary, I can also give it a try. Although Sea Dragon is composed, he's not suitable for interacting with outsiders!"
"Indeed, this matter is extensive and should be approached with caution!"
Upon hearing this, Poseissi could naturally see their intentions and looked again at the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar, "Sea Dragon, it seems the other Sacred Pillars believe you can't handle this task. What do you think?"
The Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar was momentarily stunned and looked at the other Sacred Pillars, "Ladies and gentlemen, I understand your worries that my attitude towards Continent Soul Masters might affect the task!"
"However, I know the priorities of this matter. No matter how unwilling I am, I will act according to the Grand Elder's orders."
"So, rest assured and leave this task to me."
Hearing these words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and said nothing more...
After all, since he said that, having further objections might cause misunderstandings!
Poseissi smiled faintly, "Very well, I knew I didn't misjudge you. Sea Dragon, you should go and prepare now, and as for the others, I have something else for them."
"Yes, Grand Elder!"
After speaking, the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar nodded to the others and decisively left...
After seeing him leave, the others started speaking, "Grand Elder, do you really believe the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar can complete this task? If any mishap occurs en route, conflicts would be the least of our worries!"
"Yes, Grand Elder, you know Sea Dragon's character well, and that he has no fondness for Continent Soul Masters. Sending him isn't the best choice!"
"It's not that I object, but sending the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar won't help; it'd be better if you send me instead, at least I wouldn't exacerbate relations between the sides."
"Grand Elder, why have you made this decision???"
Poseissi watched them intently, speaking word by word, "What, you all seem to not trust Sea Dragon? However, I greatly trust that he can accomplish it!"
Sea Dragon grew under my watch; he knows what should and shouldn't be done!
Hopefully, the forces on the Continent can understand the dangers posed by the abyssal creatures!!
One of the pillars nodded, "Alright, since you, Grand Elder, trust the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar so much, we will also trust him. So, is there something you want to instruct us on?"
Poseissi slightly nodded, "Hmm... it's about Sea God's Island!"
"Sea God's Island has always isolated itself from the Continent, but I've realized this is a major drawback given recent events!"
The Sacred Pillars looked incredulous, seemingly stunned that someone would say this publicly, "Drawback, Grand Elder, you don't intend to open Sea God's Island, right? That would be impossible; outsiders would disrupt the island's order!"
"Yes, Grand Elder, collaborating with external forces is one thing, but allowing them onto Sea God's Island cannot happen!"
"Previously, some Continent Soul Masters were allowed on Sea God's Island, but they only brought calamity!!"
"Everyone, calm down; you've misunderstood my intention."
Poseissi immediately understood their misunderstanding, and quickly explained, "I don't plan on opening Sea God's Island, but I think it's worth attempting some external contacts!"
…
The next day!
The Martial Soul Hall!
Gui Mei hastily found Xu Sheng, "Xu Sheng, do you have time now? Your Holiness has urgent matters to discuss with you!"
Xu Sheng glanced at Hulena and others cultivating, "Of course, but for what reason would Your Holiness want to see me?"
Hadn't he just visited the other day? Could it be something about the abyssal creatures that the Martial Soul Hall had reported, causing trouble?
Gui Mei shook his head, "This... I'm not sure, but it doesn't seem to be anything bad!"
Your Holiness hadn't consulted us or Yueguan first but reached out to Xu Sheng, which made Gui Mei very curious!
Xu Sheng nodded slightly, "I see, then it probably isn't about releasing information on the abyssal creatures."
Gui Mei seemed to catch the implication and was surprised, "Wait, Xu Sheng, it couldn't be that you're the one who suggested Your Holiness release that information, right?"
Xu Sheng admitted directly, "Yes, Elder Gui, do you have an opinion on this?"
Gui Mei shook his head to deny it, "It's been released; what can I say? I just hadn't expected it to be your suggestion!"
"After all, I remember clearly you initially wanted to cover up this matter!"
Xu Sheng pursed his lips, expressing helplessness, "Indeed, but the abyssal creature's development speed is faster than expected. If their existence is still hidden and they launch a full-scale attack, it would hit the human world like never before!"
Gui Mei suddenly understood, "I see, then I can comprehend it now. Yet I must say, once the information was released, all forces were deeply cautious, initiating comprehensive alerts."
"Even the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, which usually don't cooperate, admitted the truth!"
Xu Sheng, having anticipated this, remained calm, "This is the right choice; no matter how intense power struggles are among the forces, they all represent human factions."
"But abyssal creatures against humans represent war between races!"
Gui Mei let the matter drop and urged, "Alright, enough chatter, let's meet Your Holiness now, so we don't keep her waiting!"
…
Soon Xu Sheng and Gui Mei arrived at the great hall of the Pope Hall, where even Yueguan was already waiting...
Bi Bidong, seated on the Pope's Chair, stood up, "You're here."
"Your Holiness!"
Watching her stand and approach Xu Sheng, she handed him a letter...
"Xu Sheng, let's not waste time. This letter came from Sea God's Island; see it for yourself."
Xu Sheng took it skeptically and started reading carefully...
After a while, he spoke, "I see, Sea God's Island seems to realize the threat posed by abyssal creatures and wishes to collaborate with the Martial Soul Hall, no, to be precise, to cooperate with the human factions on the Continent!"
However, it's surprising that this letter wasn't delivered directly to me, but instead to Bi Bidong, the Pope!
Bi Bidong nodded to affirm, "Indeed, the Martial Soul Hall and Sea God's Island historically have poor relations. Their willingness to propose cooperation may partially be because of you."
Collaborating with Sea God's Island was once unimaginable!
Though unclear what caused this, Xu Sheng had certainly influenced it somehow...
