Watching as the army and the Kraken effortlessly controlled the situation, Ji Chen focused his attention on the Ocean God's Shrine, closing his eyes and gradually releasing his spirit.
As his spiritual tentacles touched, his consciousness was sucked into a vortex.
In a trance, a familiar feeling arose in his heart, an experience he had encountered when he touched the Trident in the icy wilderness.
A highly familiar power emanated from the depths of the vortex, faintly calling out like a child crying for its mother. Ji Chen sensed it, releasing the ocean's power from his body generously.
Feeling the familiar aura, the child's cries ceased quickly, merging joyfully with him, expressing decades of grievances and loneliness.
It seemed to blame why it hadn't been found earlier.
Perhaps evolving rudimentary intelligence, the Ocean God's Shrine retained some memories of the divine battle.
In that river of memories, he saw frozen frames.
