'Still, I can use this.' Thought Tang Wulin as he stared at the sea beasts in front of him that was gazing at him in awe.
"Right, I have a question."
"Anything, child of the sea." Queen Marina stood up quickly, staring at Tang Wuli with a ready gaze, showcasing her urge to aid him.
"Did Jorgunmandr talk to any of you, when it arrived here?" Questioned Tang Wulin as he wished to know just when that grey entity took control of it.
Depending on what Jorgunmandr did, he may be able to get a clue. As from what he saw and recall, the calamities tend to avoid all types of interactions with all other creatures and stick with only themselves.
Of course, there might be a chance that Jorgunmandr is a bit different, compared to the others, though.
"The beast did talk to us through its divine sense, it imprinted to us an odd ritual. The ritual from what we noticed as we were doing, converted our faith, or at least belief into energy that it could absorb."Queen Marina said with a grim look on her face.
This tad bit of information caused all of the humans to widen their eyes in surprise. As they all could understand the underlying implication and consequence of what Jorgunmandr was trying to do.
Utilizing the faith and belief of the sea to elevate itself even higher!
A god can increase their strength through the energy they gain from the faith and belief of the people in the world.
Take the Sea God, for example, the faith of the aquatic soul beast and the humans that are intimate with the sea itself gives him strength.
The more people or creatures that worship the Sea God, the greater the effect and benefit of the empowerment will be.
"It told you guys this, the first time it arrived down here?" Questioned Tang Wulin with a calm face while inwardly he was a bit surprised.
As this meant, Jorgunmandr's strenght was stronger than it was when it first arrived here.
"Yes, through telepathy, it communicates with us and pressures us through its divine might. It was because of this that we had to set up the ritual at this palace and have all of the aquatic beasts around to help."
"How long did it go on for?"
"A few months at most, although the ritual was interpreted by one of the strongest aquatic sea beasts in the ocean. I am sure you humans and you, the son of the sea god, have heard about it, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King."Said Queen Marina, causing everyone's eyes to widen but none more than Tang Wulin.
"Was this whale king close to a one million year cultivation or at the level of it?" Questioned Tang Wulin with his eyes narrowing.
When he said those words, everyone but Gu Yue and Na'er widened their eyes in shock and disbelief.
As the words of Tang Wulin were too shocking for them to properly process.
"Yes, from what I could sense, this beast was more than just a normal aquatic sea beast. It felt similar to Jorgunmandr but just far less than what it was."Said Queen Marina with the mermen behind her nodding their head.
Their shock became even more as with the words of Marina, below the ocean was a beast close to the god level.
A beast that was at a one million year cultivation, an apex predator that could sweep through everything in the ocean and even the surface.
One shouldn't underestimate the strength of a beast of a one million year cultivation, as even with humanity soul technology.
There is no guarantee that they could kill this beast, let alone defeat it. As from what they knew or heard so far, a beast at this level was no different than an earth-bound god.
'That would explain why it was considered dead.' Thought Tang Wulin with an inward sigh, with Old Tang and Zeref agreeing.
"Okay, that's all I needed to know. If there is anything else, I need, will you be willing to follow my command?" Questioned Tang Wulin a bit interested in the moment of conviction and faith in the missing Sea God.
"Of course the son of the Sea God. We the aquatic beast will gladly lend our help if you ever needed it and be under your command."Said Queen Marina as her eyes glowed with respect and conviction,
Alongside her, the other mermen also nodded their heads with the sea general himself Aaron kneeling before Tang Wulin.
"My trident is yours to use." Said the Sea General Aron causing Tang Wulin to sweep his gaze through them before nodding his head.
"Alright, it's about time we leave."
"So soon! Can't you stay a little? We haven't been able to give you a warm welcome or a proper celebration for defeating the Jorgunmandr."
"No, it's fine. We need to get back home and take care of a problem but if you do wish to speak to me, you can go to Ishgar. I will leave the coordinates, and you can either have one of the mermen, go there, and ask for me."Said Tang Wulin, causing Queen Marina's eyes to glow as she nodded her head.
"Thank you."
Tang Wulin nodded his head before turning to the people behind him as he motioned them, it was time to leave.
"Um, about that boss. We don't know if the submarine is okay or not."Said Xie Xie with a chuckle causing Tang Wulin to raise a brow.
"Yea, it seems the battle between you, and Jorgunmandr shook the whole sea. Were unsure if it caused the destruction of the submarine or if they were even able to escape."Said Zang Xin.
"Hmm, let me see something." Said Tang Wulin as he closed his eyes before tapping the ground once again with the golden trident.
In an instant, a golden light swept through the area before it began to die down and Tang Wulin opened his eyes.
"Alright found them, let's go." Said Tang Wulin as he began moving forward to the ocean in front.
"Huh? That fast and easily!"
"Yes, now let's go."
"Oh right, coming. Damn it boss why are you moving so fast!"

The Tang Sect submarine was, fortunately, able to hide in the deepest part of the sea, where the shockwave rang the weakest.
This made it so the submarine only needed to take on the weakest wave of Tang Wulin and Jogunmandr clashes.
While the submarine was a bit damaged, it wasn't to the point where they couldn't go back to Star Luo and Douluo continent.
In a flash, a month passed for the time it took for everyone in the submarine to reach back to the Douluo continent.
It was thankfully smooth sailing as none of the aquatic beasts attacked them or bothered them during the way back. Most of this was thanks to the sea god trident in Tang Wulin's hand.
As the aura from it was both divine and had the breath of the Sea God.
Not only that but it also helps him utilize his Sea God bloodline better, allowing him to give off the aura of the Sea God.
While everyone had many questions, they wanted to ask Tang Wulin; they knew it was best to wait till they reached back home.
As then, he wouldn't need to explain it again, and also it would be far safer since they didn't want anyone unnecessary to overhear.
But this didn't stop his friends from glancing at him occasionally with complicated looks. Looks that Long Yeyue and Chen Xinjie noticed but they didn't say anything from Zang Xin saying they will find out later.
He did tell them that he would tell them more things later but for now, it's best to just wait.
While they were a bit annoyed he didn't tell them these things before, it wasn't like they couldn't understand why he didn't.
Plus they also felt there was something more to the reason why he didn't tell them.
The Qilin Douluo has been following around Tang Wulin and Na'er, helping them with anything they needed.
If he wasn't doing that, he would be looking through the window and be lost in thought. No one bothered him as it seems he needed the space when he wasn't with the other two.
As the submarine reached the dock, everyone left the submarine with there being a group of soul Master and Yun Ming waiting for them.
It seemed that most of the people from the Spirit Pagoda and Federation went back to continue rebuilding their homes. Only some of the remaining members were behind, coordinating with Shrek to find out the Holy Spirit Cult whereabouts.
While at the same time, improving the ever-increasing moods of the soul master and people in the world.
"I am glad you guys are back, safe and sound." Said Yali as her eyes shined when she saw that everyone was alright and uninjured.
She even let out a small laugh as she saw her adorable daughter dashing towards her and hugging her tightly.
"Mistress!"
"Hehehe. Did you miss me that much, you silly girl." Yali words didn't match with the smile on her face as she caressed Na'er cheek.
"Hehehe of course, mistress," Na'er said with a laugh causing Yun Ming lips to twitch as he gave her glance.
Naturally, Na'er also notices this causing her to let out a giggle before going to her teacher's embrace.
"Don't worry master, I didn't forget you too." Said Na'er causing Yali to let out a laugh as she saw Yun Ming let out a cough.
"Right then, I assume everything went well?" Questioned Yun Ming as he moved his gaze through the group before landing on Tang Wulin.
"And you didn't cause too much damage." Yun Ming said with a bit of hope in his chest.
Yet that home began to die down when he saw the awkward gazes and stances of the people around Tang Wulin.
"What did you do?" Yun Ming felt a headache coming, knowing that the brat might have ignored his words and wreaked havoc in the Star Luo Country.
'Who am I kidding, he may have just destroyed it.'
Tang Wulin rolled his eyes, as he could more or less guess what Yun Ming was thinking but didn't feel like correcting him.
Additionally, it wasn't like it was entirely wrong that he did wreak havoc. Just not in his usual and straightforward way.
"Let's go inside, you're going to need a seat for this one." Said Zang Xin with a faint chuckle causing Yun Ming to move his gaze on him.
"You don't mean..."
"No, he didn't destroy the country but well...Let's just go inside, we will tell you everything."Zang Xin said with a shake of his head before moving forward.
As everyone walked forward, Yun Ming couldn't help but wonder.
'Just what did they do overseas? Maybe I should have gone.'
