The Witch Hunter System

Chapter 974: Noble Beings



Although Varuna's Origin Laws allowed the Boundless Sea and Sky Domain to exist eternally, Vaan did not doubt that Varuna's long absence had brought it endless issues.

The Lord of Chaos might have looked after the Boundless Sea and Sky Domain, but he still believed it wouldn't be as stable as it once was.

Perhaps the inhabitants of the Boundless Sea and Sky Domain were no longer united and had been divided into countless smaller factions that served their interests.

Sea God Proteus could be one of the Sea Gods looking for him in hopes of restoring the Boundless Sea and Sky Domain to its past glory. Or, Sea God Proteus could also be one of the beings looking to kill him.

Given Varuna's Boundless Sea and Sky Aura had spread to the point that other beings could utilize it, Vaan wouldn't be surprised if it gave birth to ambitious beings who were trying to gather the scattered aura and become the new Lord of the Boundless Seas and Skies.

After all, sentient beings had free will and didn't necessarily respect their original creators. In fact, they can be very selfish.

As such, the Myriad Sea God Palace could be the most dangerous place for Vaan to visit. That said, the most dangerous place could also become the safest place to hide under the right conditions.

If he could find a way to blend in, his cultivation to the True God level could become smooth.

"Do you know if there are others like me?" Vaan asked vaguely.

"Of course!" the Temple Spirit answered without hesitation, saying, "I heard the Myriad Sea God Palace has several dozen noble beings like you, Master."

"While it is extremely rare, it isn't unprecedented for some beings within the Boundless Sea and Sky Domain to be born with the aura of the Boundless Sea and Sky Lord. I heard these noble beings are all considered royalties and are heavily nurtured by the Myriad Sea God Palace."

"However, I've also heard that although they are all born with the Boundless Sea and Sky Aura, it is very faint and requires intensive cultivation just to strengthen and control, unlike yours, which is very clear and stable, Master."

"If I have to compare your auras just based on my limited knowledge and feelings, I would say your aura is at least a hundred times stronger than the other noble beings. You're like the true chosen son of the sea and sky," the Temple Spirit said honestly.

In truth, the Temple Spirit wanted to say that Vaan seemed like the reincarnation of the Boundless Sea and Sky Lord.

However, impersonating or even indirectly implying such a status was greatly taboo in Chaos. A bloody disaster would always descend wherever such instances occurred.

As such, the Temple Spirit didn't dare mention it.

After Vaan inquired a bit more, he gradually understood the situation in the Myriad Sea God Palace and why the Myriad Sea God Palace placed such great importance on nurturing beings blessed with the Boundless Sea and Sky Aura.

It was because only such noble beings could increase the quantity of the Boundless Sea and Sky Aura and had the qualifications to become the new Boundless Sea and Sky Lord.

Vaan didn't expect to learn that the Boundless Sea and Sky Aura could increase in quantity without the original Boundless Sea and Sky Lord, even if they were only minuscule amounts.

If he could collect all of it, wouldn't his Boundless Sea and Sky Aura be even stronger than his peak first life?

He was quite curious how these noble beings were able to be born with his Boundless Sea and Sky Aura.

Were their parents under the influence of Boundless Sea and Sky Aura? Or was the Boundless Sea and Sky Aura where they were born?

Nevertheless, Vaan almost wanted to thank every one of these noble beings. They were practically growing his aura for him. More importantly, their existences were also layers of shield for him.

He wouldn't be easily targeted by those with ill intentions or enmity toward the Lord of the Boundless Seas and Skies.

When Vaan opened the [Gate] to refill the Sea God Temple's energy reserve with [Absorb], he was immediately stunned by the powerful surge of mana. It was a million years' worth of mana wanting to break out after accumulating over time for so long.

The Sea God Temple's energy reserve instantly jumped up to two million units of mana, a nearly tenfold increase, and continued to rise with incredible momentum.

The Sea Realm was quickly filled with pure mana and started to expand to its former size. Under the nourishment of pure mana from the Myriad Sea God Palace, its space tripled within mere minutes.

Vaan anticipated that the mana from a Holy Land-like place would be incredible, but he still underestimated it.

Compared to the Myriad Sea God Palace, Gehenna's mana was like a cheap penny covered in shit: people wouldn't want to take it; even if they did, they definitely wouldn't smell it.

Catching a glimpse of the Myriad Sea God Palace's wealth of pure mana made Vaan understand what it truly meant to come from a poor background.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He may not even need to hide in the Myriad Sea God Palace because powerful divine beings wouldn't want to visit such lowly places like Gehenna or the entire Skymagia Star Kingdom, for that matter.

Such places that struggled to produce even a single Divine King were hardly worth their time.

Eventually, the Sea God Temple's energy reserve reached ten million units of pure mana before Vaan closed the [Gate].

The Sea Realm had also expanded over a hundred times its original size during this time.

If not, the Sea God Temple's energy reserve would have hit ten million units of pure mana much sooner.

Now, the Sea Realm looked like a place that could rear some sea monsters.

After letting the Stone Spirit inside the Sea God Temple, Vaan reduced its size and allowed the Temple Spirit to control it to follow him like a protection drone, always staying within two meters of him.

On the way back to Pangea's Outer Sea, countless sea monsters in the Darksea Abss Territory sent Vaan off with reluctant respect and worship. They hoped he would visit them again, which he intended to.

He had great plans for the Darksea Abyss Territory.

When Vaan returned through the underwater dimensional crack, he was quickly greeted by a black-purplish Fighting Dolphin that had been inflated like a pufferfish.

"Ah, welcome back, my Lord!"

Vaan stared at Jamal speechlessly.

He had only left Pangea for a short while, but Jamal had already stuffed himself into an

unrecognizable state.
